Faster Jackalope
verse 1
Delightful you of pleasant past
I see in sleep
It isn’t restful in the least
It’s mission creep
I wake up aching as I do
For worried weeks
Give me my peace!
pre-chorus 1
Will wondrous conundrums never cease—
For a time at least?
Chorus
You said you wouldn’t M-I-S-S me
The D-A-Y’s are turning into weeks
It’s been a while since I’ve seen Y-O-U
But my L-O-V-E is true
my L-O-V-E is true
verse 2
You wake up naked late for school
The noon bell chimes
You cut your classes like a fool
No grand design
You stay in, sate your every mood
It’s hard to find the perfect thing
pre-chorus 2
It’s all the same, and sameness is cloying
It’s worrying
Chorus
Bridge
You tell me
You’re happy
But your face gives the game away
Say no more girl
10-4 girl
I’ll ignore the words you say
SOLO BREAK
pre-chorus 3
I got a discount ticket to your town
So wipe off that frown

Re: NUR EIN XIV - Message Received
Vowl Sounds
I come over to study for French
and we work for a while on irregular tenses
but now we're all done
so let's play a game
light the candles
unsteady flame
lay the board out
fingers down together
your hand brushes mine
light as a feather
ooh, light as a feather
oh, you, i... we? yes
o u i, oui, yes
o u i j a (yes, yes)
o u i j a (yes, yes)
the curtains are moving
though the windows are closed
i swear i feel the chill
of gathering ghosts
the planchette trembles
starts to slide
i tremble a little
feeling you at my side
a spirit speaks
from beyond the grave
a letter at a time
what will it say?
you lean close
i can feel your breath
anxious to see
what'll come next
l e h d
y e n p
d o v k
i t c a
we look at each other
so what does this mean?
is it some kind of riddle?
is it somebody's name?
maybe they're drunk?
i mean, what the hell?
shouldn't the spirits
know how to spell?
i think that's witches,
you say, and we laugh
and in the jokes about spells
a spell has been cast
side by side
in the darkened room
spooky candles
that smell like perfume
we look at the box
it has directions
you have to be focused
have to ask a real question
we start again
and you sit real still,
ask, does anyone like me?
i mean, like... a girl?
my cheeks get hot
i can't meet your eye
i mumble, same question...
i mean... but a guy?
we put our hands down
and we feel the planchette
pulling across the board
and gliding towards YES
i don't need a medium
to figure this out
your hand's on my back
my heart's in my mouth
i lean into you
you lean into me
and your lips meet mine

I saw a movie, late night on tv
I guess I just didn't comprehend it, 'til I read IMDB
I coulda thrown in the towel
But there's always tomorrow
And now maybe you'll understand why I don't follow
My mother threw me out, when I was ten years old
She said I'd never be nothin', I guess I done been told

Feel the warmth of summer sun.
Is it time to cast my dice?
Dare I hope that she’s the one;
Will this humble man suffice?
Give to her my household keys;
Trust her with my hearth and home.
Would she be content with me?
Does her heart more widely roam?
Sweet and lonely, true and kind—
Might our fates be intertwined?
Life is bleak when she’s away;
Wind is blowing from the east.
Every hour that I delay
Gnaws my heart without surcease.
Orphaned woman, scarred with pox,
Yet lovely as her heart is pure—
Every chime from ticking clocks
Expands my sense of her allure.
Sweet and lonely, true and kind—
Shall our lives be intertwined?
I bide my time, await her word, and offer no duress.
When weeks have passed, one morning comes, she says it’s Y E S.
From the blue, returned to her,
A lover, whom we’d thought was lost.
Life had changed in such a blur;
Suddenly, my stars were crossed.
I will not be self-deceived;
It’s for him her heart does yearn.
This painful message I’ve received,
So to him she must return.
Sweet and lonely, true and kind—
Fate had other twists in mind.

T, take some time to
E, explain to me
N, now it's 'cause

I, I want,

E, end the tension, end my insecurity

There's a meaning you offer me
And a meaning you hide
You say there's nothing wrong
Yet you sound so peeved

Was not the message received
I didn't ask, 'What did you say?'
I didn't ask you to repeat
I asked, 'What do you mean?'

Message Received by Frankie Big Face
After turning in my resignation
Birds began to sing
Clouds began to part
Don’t worry ‘bout me baby
Everyone deserves a new start
Forget about the times we made a mess
Get a new car, get a new dress, dye your
Hair a brilliant color
I’ll remember every word you said...
Chorus:
G O O D B Y E
Do I have to spell it out for you?
Message received.
Just beyond the southern border
Knowing turned to doubting
Light dissolved to gray
Maybe it’s the silence in the setting sun
No-one had a word to say
Only you and I can bridge this fault
Put the past into a box, inside a vault, and
Quiet all the voices
Reconciling every word you said...
Chorus:
G O O D B Y E
Do I have to spell it out for you?
Message received.
Stay with me for a moment
Tell me everything will be alright
Until I fall asleep...
Vows are nothing sacred
Weather rules the forecast
X-rays often lie
You think have it sorted, but your life goes
Zooming by.

Hey,
Today is the day that you said you'd be helping me out
And don't get me wrong
I can probably move it myself
Because I'd hurt my back before I would ask anyone for help
Hey,
I'm shouting to say that I got in a bit of a bind
And don't get me wrong
I'm sure that my injuries will heal with time
But when I dropped the piano I heard something snap so
Would somebody call me an ambulance ride?
Was my message received?
I need your H E L P
Do I gotta spell it out for you?
Because you know I'm too proud
To ever say it out loud
But I need you to save me from myself
Hey,
Remember that time I was trapped beneath a baby grand?
That I moved myself without any help
But now I can't stand
This hospital bill is making me ill
I've got no insurance
My country assured me
I don't want a safety net
Was my message received?

Can you hear me?
Am I coming through?
There’s static on the line
Static all over you
I got the signal
And the secret code
I know the handshake
Now my hand is cold
Did I get it the first time?
It’s so hard to believe
When I don’t understand
the message received
I’m in the other room
You’re in another state
This game of telephone
Is hard to translate
And the anxiety
Fills up the whole space
Until the levee breaks
Until we’re face to face
Did I get it the first time?
It’s so hard to believe

Re: NUR EIN XIV - Message Received
This song is based on a rap verse added to a song that was already kinda hokey causing me to change the radio station in my car for the first time in 5 months. Like the song existed without a rap verse for a long time and all the sudden now there's a rap verse added in after the fact.
soft swallows
a timid voice she shows
she wallows
the world around her knows
it's not going anywhere
it's a vomit pending stare
there's a echo over there
don't you know
can't you read what is written?
It's hollow
have you never seen a plan
so follow
it'll happen in the end
I don't have time for silly games
I'm not even done with James
he's my favorite but I'll never let him go
don't you know?
For the lives we know x3
let it go
1 2 3 4
rap verse here it is
take a song and put it in
make it sorta like the verse
except it sounds just so much worse
S P elling B
is what my agent said to me
I can see that W E
will make some M O uhnuh E
I have feelings on this topic
let me M pha S I Z
Taking P O P and rapping
makes me want to D I E
put it in your pipe and smoke it
have a S O N G fight
Just don't ruin my rad E O
that is all, shut up good night

Re: NUR EIN XIV - Message Received
abominominous
Cold commentator, your color can’t correct me now
I’m in the mist with a wish for the daylight
To never grace your visage again in any meaningful way
Hot hostile doctor, the river won’t bereave the boiling banks
The risk was written in crisp italics, the horror of humility
Haunts your holy eroded carapace
I tried to tell you, i sent a signal, i wrote a note and barely folded it
You better believe
I cracked the codex, i sighed a cipher, i seek a sign tellin’
message r e c e i v e d
Like, lacrimosa, callin’ out cadavers for deeds undone
The benefits of bellicose and boisterous braying
Splitting the seams and decaying the scenes
And the screams and the screens and the dark
Ooh olly oxen, the bullocks overwhelming the pens and the paddocks
The sugar society of sodium love buzz
One to remember, one to forget and regret and regress and elect
u n j u s t l a w s
Make criminals of
v i r t u o u s
Women and men and the rest
Haute golden deceiver, sizzle with the symbol of acrimony
So true, so cruel, and hell’s to pay
Outmoded eroders of liberty, the shuffling coil’s here to meet with your menace
And though the maker’s a vague little notion
He prob’ly have a bag full of five dollar words
To apply to your reckoning

Mandibles - Message Received
When you decamped for dry Rhodesia
You clasped me, said “I need ya”
Unless I’ve got amnesia,
You didn’t propose
After holding tightly
You said that you would write me
Nearly every night-ly
Unless indisposed
And here we are, some fourteen fortnights later
Not one word from you, my hope a crater
It’s o-v-e-r over between you and me
Don’t bother explaining, message received
No use in complaining, you’re finally free
Cause it’s o v e r over, message received.
My face no doubt unsightly
Expresses such anxiety
I nonetheless go lightly
Into that dark night
Sky pounding with cold rain
I waited for the drunk train
Head pounding with the eye strain
But nothing looked right
And here I am some fourteen platforms later
Wondering what made you turn traitor
It’s o-v-e-r over between you and me
Don’t bother explaining, message received
No use in complaining, you’re finally free
Cause it’s o v e r over, message received.
Still stuck in dull Pratoria
For closure I implore ya
I should not so adore ya
After all my distress
My letterbox crammed fully
Tells me I have wept unduly
For the mail, held so cruelly
Holds the love you expressed
And here I am some forty letters later
Feeling like I’ve been hit by a freighter
And it’s b a c k o n between you and me
Don’t bother explaining, message received
No use in complaining, you’re stuck here with me
Cause it’s b a c k o n, message received.

To whom it concerns
I'm writing you an apology
You don't know me but you will know what I've done
So you don't make the same mistake
I was the first one
To take the poison
I was the first son
I am the reason
That you will pay
By the sweat of your brow
You will eat from the ground
Every day
You'll be cursed to toil
Until you return to soil
L O V E
Yours truly
I hope this message weathers time
If you receive this gift to you
You'll never have to die
I am the way the light
The truth and life
I am the only first son
The only reason
That you are free
Cast aside your shackled
And drop the vanity
To follow me
And take your cross
Before we leave
L O V E comma yours truly

She said she’s tired of smoky little bars on back roads
Sick of singing cover tunes every Friday night
Through with riding in a Chevy van with bad suspension
She’s searching for a cut rate LA flight
And in her dreams
She’s cruising PCH in a blue Mercedes
Wearing Siriano, Kors and D&G
Can’t make her stay, LA’s calling
She’s ready to leave
Message received
She said she’s tired of screaming little kids in playgrounds
Sick of shopping outlet stores cause money’s tight
Through with cooking in a microwave instead of Spago
She’s searching for the LA city lights
CH
When she’s tired of LAX
Too much casual SEX
Sick of smog and traffic on the 405
Too much sun or too much rain,
She’ll die if she can’t complain
So enjoy the paparazzi and the morning drive

and you feel the same, i know that
you feel the same
and you feel the same, i know that
you feel the same
it's okay if you don't wanna talk
you don't have to say it
we can be on our own, together
it's okay if you just wanna lie here
you don't have to say it
we can be s.a.d together
it's not just as easy
as saying everything's okay
the nights go on and on and it is hard
to face the day

living in the space between
when one thing ends until the other
and i feel the same, i know i feel like i'm

how come you never cheer me up? you know,
you're ‘sposed to do that, you're ‘sposed to do that

s.a.d together
and i feel the same, i know i feel like i'm
living in the space between
when one thing ends until the other
and i feel the same, i know i feel like i'm
yelling at the sun, like,
how come you never cheer me up? you know,
you're ‘sposed to do that, you're ‘sposed to do that
you're ‘sposed to do that, you're ‘sposed to do that
it's okay if you don't wanna talk about it
[not talking about it]
it's okay if you just wanna lie here
s.a.d together
s.a.d together
s.a.d together
s.a.d together

Re: NUR EIN XIV - Message Received
Message Received a.k.a. Lies by the Sunday Colors
He said I spell it with a K, I don’t see why you can’t remember
K-A-S-E-Y, it’s not so hard, and you didn’t have a problem back when you thought I was a tomboy
I am only who I’ve always been
And I know that’s not the story you tell yourself when you’re all alone and the lights are dim
I’d pray for your acceptance, but I don’t believe in God
I’d turn to better friends, but I know you’re all I’ve got
Getting Older means you change, not always for the better
Getting older means you count your loss and learn to settle
Getting older every day, getting older every day
He said you don’t have to shout, could you slow things down, could you change your position?
You may think you see a different side of me, but though my smile has changed you’ll find I’m not so different
I can’t speak my mind without having to tiptoe around your emotions
I had built up steam, but now that you’re crying I’ve lost all composure
I’d pray for your acceptance, but I don’t believe in God
I’d turn to better friends, but I know you’re all I’ve got
Getting Older means you change, not always for the better
Getting older means you count your loss and learn to settle
Getting older every day, getting older every day
Who I am is not to blame
But like oil to the open flame
You can’t fault the fire for sincerity
But nor am I compelled to stay
I won’t bit my tongue another day
You say my burns will heal and I’ll be free
But it’s lies
