Tampa bridges are all lit up. It was nice to have our city back tonight.

BRAID - "Bridge To Canada"

You want the whole nine
Yard lies
then lets hear a jeer
For the nice guys
I know the end of this book
And it's a happy one please book
But you cant skip the start
And break for the good part

But our guile
Is argyle
Yes a guy's guile
Is oh what a guile


I got the message its on
It was there all along
And if I lead you along
Then I read you wrong


There was a bridge
And a tunnel to
And does a suitcase
Kinda look like a coffin
(well, yes)
and does it happen often
(well , yes)
and am I worried
(well yes)
I guess but it makes sense


I got the message its on
It was there all along
And if I lead you along
Then I read you wrong


(What a buy what am I doing here )


I write her
letters from my new home
Crying
then I kissed the phone


Im writing
letters to angels
with heavenly pens and holey tongues sent
coded messages to
our northern neighbors

I like magnets of people who stick by you.

THE FRONT BOTTOMS - "Lipstick Covered Magnet"

Love how you disagree
to tell me that I'm wrong
when every bone is healed
and every stitch is sewn.

I've got some words to share
but she don't like my tone.
I've got some words to share,
she won't pick up her phone.

She's got some medicine.
I'm choking on the pills.
She shouldn't feel this way,
a lack of social skills.

He'll take her out tonight.
She'll have an awesome time.
The only thing that's lost,
the only thing that's mine.

And I'm gonna get on my knees
Would you kick me in the face please?
It'll make whatever I say
sound like poetry.

And as the ghost begins to bleed
the words will fall like teeth
and whatever we have locked up now is free.

You're talking with your friends
Secrets they'll never keep
They're sitting on your bed
And all you want is sleep

Pretend that this is fake
It helps to kill the pain
All that you want is different
All that you'll get is same

There's nothing more to say
I think I've said it all
I'm sitting on the edge
I'm waiting for the fall.

I'll check my messages
They'll say you want a fight?
I'm turning off my phone.
How high were you last night?

And I could get on my knees
Would you kick me in the face please?
It'll make whatever I say sound like poetry.

And as the ghost begins to bleed
The words will fall like teeth
And whatever we have locked up now is free.

I'm gonna get on my knees
Would you kick me in the face please?
It'll make whatever I say sound like poetry.

And as the ghost begins to bleed
the words will fall like teeth
and whatever we have locked up now is free.

And I'm scared I'm gonna die as lonely as I feel right now.
And I'm scared I'm gonna die as lonely as I feel right now.
And I'm scared I'm gonna die as lonely as I feel right now.

Another afternoon storm brewing over a beautiful, shimmering Tampa Bay.

SAMIAM - "Storm Clouds"

Black clouds hang over you
Like anvils on a string
They follow you everywhere so
Don't stand so close to me

They gather while you're sleeping
And wait above your bed
And when you open up your eyes
They strap themselves fast to your head

Dreamed through another starless night
Awakened by the gloom this morning
I keep myself buttoned tight
These storms come without warning
There seems to be no end in sight
This shit could last forever
I've been through this before
There's no predicting weather you

Will find your way around
Whatever's got you down
Whatever's got you down

The lines across your brow
Tell me the entire story
I won't be listening
While you go on about your fears and worries

Dreamed through another starless night
Awakened by the gloom this morning
I keep myself buttoned tight
These storms come without warning
There seems to be no end in sight
This shit could last forever
I've been through this before
There's no predicting weather you

Will find your way around
Whatever's got you down
Whatever's got you down

You blow into the room
I pour myself some shelter
I know the storm is coming soon
I'm sensitive to changes in pressure

I spent another sleepless night
On your couch tossing and turning
Sometimes I don't know why I try
I think my neck is broken

There seems to be no end in sight
This shit could last forever
I've been through this before
There's no predicting weather you

Will find your way around
Whatever's got you down
Whatever's got you down
Can you find your way around
Whatever's got you down
You're bringing us all down

Conference calls all day.

LEATHERFACE - "Don't Work"

And as fashionable as anything new sometimes I credit you
With more intelligence than you've got and
Sometimes I don't credit you with enough
Today and we can make things happen
And don't say can't and don't work too hard
A new way and you can make things happen
It's a feeling just don't work too hard
You're the centre of the universe make the most of it
And do your very worst
Get up there with the rest the bashful cynic
It's alright to be second best
Don't waste your time it's the heart that's hard
It's the head that's soft pretty slogans and the crimes
Are meaningless tokens don't waste your time
It's the heart that's hard it's the head that's fucking soft
Industrious and arthritic I'd forgive you everything just don't sing
For love at first site and for peace of mind she's a man
He's a woman they're all human
Today and we can make things happen
Don't say can't and don't work too hard
A new way and you can make things happen
It's a feeling just don't work too hard
Don't waste your time it's the heart that's hard
It's the head that's soft pretty slogans and the crimes
Are meaningless tokens don't waste your time
It's the heart that's hard it's the head that's fucking soft

Messages are definitely being lost amidst the static. A rainy Monday marking the start of RNC12 in Tampa and also a happy near miss by Hurricane Issac. I hope that this week in Tampa will be as peaceful as possible. Spend some time participating - like by visiting Cafe Hey's many events this week: www.suburbanapologist.com/look-post-a-politically-charged... Stay safe.

JIMMY EAT WORLD - "World Is Static"

The longest time away.
think last time the friends we made.
the longest time away.
best friend is too cheap to stay.
of course i'll go with you, not every day i get to.
of course i'll stay with you, how often.
pictures tell so much.
they remind me often.
your voice brings back so much... situations.
between the money and your every move, acceptance.
between the money and your every move.
we both know things never change.
we both know static prevails.
take a seat at your request.
five years i'm still there.
the longest time away, my friend.

August 26th is National Dog Day (surprising because in my house every day is dog day). I found this friendly pit bull mix running along FL Avenue. Be sure to have current tags on your dog and microchip them in case they lose their collars! Update: Happily, I found his owner because he was wearing tags!

SOCIAL DISTORTION - "Lost & Found"

I was looking for something
anything at all
something to believe in
written on the bathroom wall
there were no answers to the questions I employed
nothing around me to fill up that void

I've been lost
and I've been found
I've been lost
been pushed around
what a cost
I nearly drowned
I've been lost
and I've been found

My broken home yeah,
my broken heart
I needed to make myself a brand new start
when you're feeling lonely in a crowded town
when your world around you comes crashing down

I've been lost
and I've been found
I've been lost
been pushed around
what a cost
my hands were bound
I've been lost
and I've been found

There was a time when I could not say
I got a reason to live another day
cause when you're desperate you ain't got no shame
in a world of darkness, in a world full of blame

I've been lost
and I've been found
I've been lost
been pushed around
what a cost
I nearly drowned
I've been lost
and I've been found

I've been lost
and I've been found
I've been lost
been pushed around
what a cost
my hands were bound
I've been lost
and I've been found
