bright light
you’re piercing me blind
with your eyes
.
it was silent
all that’s behind
all my tries
.
all that you hold up
all that you hold up
all that you hold up
it’s Buttercup
it’s Buttercup
.
white light
you’re piercing me deaf
with your lies
.
it was violent
all that’s behind
all my ties
.
all that you hold up
all that you hold up
all that you hold up
it’s Buttercup
it’s Buttercup
Buttercup
.
bright light
makin’ me shine
in your eyes
.
it’s so quiet
and under lies
butterflies
.
all that you hold up
all that you hold up
all that you hold up
it’s Buttercup
it’s Buttercup
Buttercup
.

A Thousand Pictures
.
a picture worth a thousand words
belongs in a museum
not a heavy heart
.
hanging on the songs of birds
have to let them go
somehow
.
all the bark strips off
all the bark strips off
piece by piece
.
on your own by the dying stream
why did you go?
why did you go?
.
trying to have a peek underneath
reflection hiding
in the dusky glow
.
when all the bark strips off
all the bark strips off
piece by piece
.
don’t you hide your face
don’t you hide your face for me
[repeat]
.
all the paths weave into one
might as well go home
might as well
.
there’s more life under that stone
than you’ve ever seen
ever known
.
and a thousand pictures
a thousand pictures
what a waste
.
but don’t hide your face
don’t you hide your face for me
[repeat]
.
it’s not worth repeating
it’s not worth repeating
it’s not….. ah well
.
don’t you hide your face
don’t you hide your face from me
don’t you hide it
don’t you hide your face from me
.

Mistranslated Latin Tattoo Blog
So amusing.
http://waywardclassics.blogspot.com/2010/01/latin-tattoos.html
I fully enjoy a reader’s comment:
“On a related note, my Chinese friend always has fun watching people with Chinese alphabet tattoos. He once met a girl who had a tattoo of a Chinese character for love on her shoulder. Except she had no idea that the character actually stood for “soy sauce”.”
Enjoy!
