Californication is an old saying, its not like the peppers ever said "we invented that term"

saying that is like saying radiohead ripped off black sabbath because they have a song called paranoid android and sabbath has a song called paranoid

its just words, they arent ripping each other off

Is it picking at you day and night?
Do you stare through the emptiness?
Do the days fly by like the wind blows
Leaving you breathless
You've done it now
You've tied your noose
You've got no reason trying anymore
Because it's no use
Do you wake up to the sun that never shines on you?
Do you pray for better days to this god who's never smiled on you?
Do you wish each day was your last?
This too shall pass
Don't get buried by your past
When it comes back around
Just leave your ghosts
Leave them sleeping
Don't take the sunrise for granted
Don't let frustration pull you down
Turn away from that rearview mirror
Look straight ahead
Don't throw your life away
Because sometimes you're all that you got

Greenwheel - This too shall pass
change your life into a postcard version of white snow

ANGELS or DEVILS

this is the last time
that I'm ever gonna come here tonight
this is the last time - I will fall
into a place that fails us all - inside

I can see the pain in you
I can see the love in you
but fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time

the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down
come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

this is the last time
that I'm ever gonna give in tonight
are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear - to see

still I can see the pain in you
and I can see the love in you
and fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time

the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down - come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could break us

if I was to give in - give it up
- and then
take a breath - make it deep
cause it might be the last one you get
be the last one
that could make us cold
you know that they could make us cold
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

The wind drew thinly from the west
Looking for the thunder
Jet trails across the northern sky
Then slowly shears apart

Shaking in the morning dew
You ever really fall apart?
I explained it per-erfectly to you
And still you walked away
I love everybody here...

The ghosts rose slowly from the basement hall
Looking for the thunder
Faces of the dead slowly drink to life
Lift your glasses high

Thirty hearty cheers
A thundering of tears
Fight and love and see the pain
Before we disappear
I love everybody here...

One shard of sun still glistens in the lacquer
Slices thin the tightened throat of laughter
A wave of cold rose spineward through the joker
And from her hand
-the floor -the glass -would shatter
And fall into the intersteer
A place that is not here
She bundles up her a.d.i.d.a.s.
And opens up her hair

She opens up her hair with her hands
Motioning towards us all
She's looking sort of back and forth
Slow... down
We're on our way... down

See the lonely man out on the waves
Steering away from the land
And know that he dreams of more innocent times
Wishing he had a far simpler mind

And over and over I
Told her I told her
I told her to see me with clear eyes
Not blue eyes

One by one the ghosts they rise
Unseen they pass right through us all and
...leave.

The Cure - Disintegration

Oh I miss the kiss of treachery
The shameless kiss of vanity
The soft and the black and the velvety
Up tight against the side of me
And mouth and eyes and heart all bleed
And run in thickening streams of greed
As bit by bit it starts the need
To just let go
My party piece

Oh I miss the kiss of treachery
The aching kiss before I feed
The stench of a love for a younger meat
And the sound that it makes
When it cuts in deep
The holding up on bended knees
The addiction of duplicities
As bit by bit it starts the need
To just let go
My party piece

I never said I would stay to the end
So I leave you with babies and hoping for frequency
Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy
Screaming me over and over and over
I leave you with photographs
Pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet and
Stains on the scenery
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both us knew
How the ending would be...

So it's all come back round to breaking apart again
Breaking apart like I'm made up of glass again
Making it up behind my back again
Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
Holding it up behind my head again
Cut in deep to the heart of the bone again
Round and round and round
And it's coming apart again
Over and over and over

Now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces
I'll pull out my heart
And I'll feed it to anyone
Crying for sympathy
Crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd
And the three cheers from everyone
Dropping through sky
Through the glass of the roof
Through the roof of your mouth
Through the mouth of your eye
Through the eye of the needle
It's easier for me to get closer to heaven
Than ever feel whole again

I never said I would stay to the end
I knew I would leave you with babies and everything
Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity
Screaming me over and over and over
I leave you with photographs
Pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet and
Stains on the memory
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both of us knew
How the end always is

How the end always is...

Sponge--Silence Is Their Drug

We, we can do anything
why do they beat us down with their lies
They object us they reject us time after time
then we ask ourselves
Why are we alive
I can't hear anything
They make silence their drug
We, we are everything
Why do they beat us down to their size
The better we fit the bigger
They get and we justify their lousy experience
Why are we alive
I can't hear anything
They make silence their drug
