Re-examine all
that you have been told...
dismiss that which
insults your soul.

 


Quotes by EmptyAshtray






You know you're funkier than a mosquito's tweeter
You've got a mouth like a heard of bow weavells
Same old thing, same old game
Always rappin' 'bout the same old thing



In the madness and soil
Of that sad, earthly scene
Only the am I human
Only then am I clean



Don't care if he's guilty, don't care if he's not
He's good and he's bad and he's all that I've got
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord I'm begging you please
Don't take that sinner from me










If you look in the mirror
And don't like what you see
You can find out first hand
What it's like to be me

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where the brave dare not go









So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters.


 
Did you look up to heaven
For some kind of answer?
And look at yourself
And what really matters?

Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swingin' in the Southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees

Pastoral scene of the gallant South
The bulgin' eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burnin' flesh

Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop

When I drive..
 

When I drive at night,                                                     No

I roll all of the windows down.                                           When I drive at night I am flying.

I put on my favorite CD,                                                     Soring through shooting stars,

And turn up the volume                                                     And around giant moons.

To mind numbing levels.                                                   I am freed to a new world,

I don't take my foot off the gas.                                        Of wonder and fear and carelessness.

I discard red lights and stop signs.                                  A world in which I, only I,

I watch the lights around me                                             Am in control.

Fly past in a brilliant streak.                                           A world where I could end it,

I take turns without slowing,                                            Or start it or change it,

And I pass cars over that forbidden yellow line.                Or stand by and wonder at the stars.

 

When I drive at night,                                                       When I drive at night,

People think that I'm racing.                                              The heavens unite with the earth.

Racing a friend,                                                                 And I am the only diving line,

Racing a curfew,                                                                 Between peace,

Racing the alcohol.                                                             And chaos.

Maybe I am racing something.                                           In this crazy and troubled world,

Racing towards a promise,                                                 A midnight drive,

Or away from suffering?                                                    Is where I may find who I am,

I don't know.                                                                       And who I am not.

I must have forgotten                                                         When I drive at night,

The moment I shifted into drive.                                        I am myself.

You gotta keep your heart young








Don't go growin' old before your time has come
