This one goes out to my friend Jesse who recently posted about me here. http://theartofjesse.blogspot.com/ Go check him out, he's an amazing artist.
I wanna follow the footprints across my lover's stomach I wanna call out her name before I plummet I wish I had a map of the terrain so I could step around the landmines, Avoid the beasts under the bed that bring they bad times I wanna find this here so-called treasure: The pleasure, the trinkets, the never-ending weekends Acknowledging that I'm still just a piece of the sequence But seeing this different footprints got me needin' to show my weakness Timelines, the time zones I cross them with my eyes closed Memorize the landmarks and learn the cycles The weather patterns how the seasons affect The east and the west of each region learn the cycles Forget about the fact that Many trails have been tracked Maybe it's a plus that there's a path If this was some uncharted land I'd have to be a smarter man Willing to travel the farthest to unravel the harvest The natural resources are unlimited Exploration only requires some desire and initiative Take your time and find the right way to climb It ain't safe to play games with natures mind And
If I could show you, you would never leave it, never And if I could show you, you would never leave it, never And if I could show you, you would never leave it, never And if I could show you, you would never leave it, never If I could show you, you would never leave it, never And if I could show you, you would never leave me!
I wanna ride a train up my lover's arm Destination the brain to climb out and find out what's going on Cut through trees and ride through rocks And synchronize the universal sundial to my watch I've seen a lot But not quite as much as her To top it off the memory and her imagination blur I know she's been put through hell I can feel it And I know she's touched heaven as well Trying to steal it It came on and it taught her the song Strung her along and it caught her when that guard was gone Now to the break of dawn she wants to feel that fix And all the family and friends is trying to seal them lips I'm not dumb I can hear that train come from miles away I'm setting obstacles to stop the arrival Gonna blow up the iron and wood road From what I understood those be the orifice of her survival My recital Yet another tantrum Because she's highly excitable Swinging moods at random No happy endings always off to a bad start Addictive Voyeurism to the trackmarks...
And if I could show you, you would never leave it, never, nah And if I could show you, you would never leave it, never And if I could show you, yo, you would never leave it, never

I Saw the Misfits on Friday and it was an amazing show! Geoff and I drove all the way to Columbus to see them. The trip there was about as much fun as the show it's self. The whole night can be summed up as a reminder of why I don't drink PBR in a can. Lol. I got the best concert shirt ever too, I'll post a picture of it in a bit but until then I leave you with this.
I broke my thumb in 2 places by closing it in a door. Only I could pull off something that clumsy. On a brighter note I am now the proud owner of the "when life gives you lemons you paint that shit gold" album by Atmosphere and the "paper trail" album by T.I. Geoff took me to Nanking Inn for the best Chinese food ever to cheer me up. He also got Maddy and I matching Bengals jerseys! Trust and believe we will be the cutest mom and daughter ever tomorrow as we cheer our team on.
