Holy Roses

I know you will be curious
But please don't ever forget this:
I'll murder if you're in the people's gaze
And if they try to talk to you,
I'll kick them 'till they're black and blue
I'll strap them to a cannon, fire away!
Because holy roses stay
Locked inside, away
And if you try to fuck with them
They lose their luster and they will decay
But people will not talk about it
People only talk about their days
And if you try to run away
The guards will shoot you in the face
We'll bury you alone, without a grave
But we will have a magic time
I'll teach you each and every line
Of my auto-bio-graphy like a play
Because holy roses stay
Locked inside, away
And if you try to fuck with them
They lose their luster and they will decay
But people will not talk about it
People only talk about their days
And you will have to deal with me until I say we go our separate ways

When I'm Stoned

give me a word two syllables
into my ear and set me
loose into the darkness of the street
i cannot trust my instincts or my feet
let it be soft let it be ours
inside a room the morning
hours were made for counting your mistakes
i give what i can all else you will take
and when im stoned i want to die
and when im stoned i want to cry
and when im stoned i see your eyes
and if im a pawn in bigger games
what can i do it is so strange
that people hurt each other still
a carving knife a bullet or a pill
if they have souls they have no hearts
deaf to our cries deaf to our art
power never leads to love
i hate them all but hatreds not enough
and when im stoned i want to die
and when im stoned i want to cry
and when im stoned i see your eyes
cuz when im with you things just stall
theres no one dying none at all
and i realize were all very small
very small

10,000 Enemies

Tachibana, class A-2
Boogeyman of French high school
The kind of person that you hate after you meet
He's the one I'll choose to stab until he bleeds
Creep along Parisian roads
No one's parents need to know
Oh, children will be kids, I've heard it's true
Using popularity to torture you
Oh and I will
Tell them I will tell them I will tell them and they'll see
And I'll write you in a Bible with ten-thousand enemies
Taking turns to descend on your neck to feast
Reminiscing over your total defeat
Years will pass, you'll move away
M-m-mysteries and wedding cakes
And all that I will remember was I was cruel
Using popularity to torture you
Oh and then I'll
Tell them I will tell them I will tell them and they'll see
And I'll write you in a Bible with ten-thousand enemies
Taking turns to descend on your neck to feast
Reminiscing over your abject defeat
I will hide, I will retreat
If I hear your shuffling feet
No single person will know what you were to me
No single person will know what you were to me...
Oh, until I
Tell them I will tell them I will tell them and they'll see
That I wrote you in a Bible with ten-thousand enemies
Taking turns to descend on your neck to feed
Reminiscing over your total defeat
Reminiscing over your abject defeat

Director Says

Director says:
Don't make me choose (between my)
Vocation and my muse (I know it's not a)
Pretty song but I can't shake the tune
(And so we will)
Concoct a plan (a pact between)
A woman and a man (a meteor to)
Strike them down in hearts across the land
But on afternoons from one-to-two when I
Am tangled up in you it's not
Just what we wanted but it's true
A failing play (becomes the nuts and)
Bolts of day to day (and so we both just)
Nod our heads and wait for fumbling prey
But jealous lies (cannot destroy the)
Mirage of your eyes (I cannot be the)
Perfect man, but darling I will try
But on afternoons from one-to-two when I
Am tangled up with you it's not
Just what I wanted but it's true
But on afternoons from one-till-two when I
Am tangled up in you it's not
Just what you wanted but it's true

Fields of flowers gone to rot
Lay me down and forget me not
And I want to know what ghosts feel
I need that auburn appeal
Preserved in jars of cheap formaldehyde
But all I see are lonely faces
Broken streets and empty places
I don't need to hear the thoughts inside your mind
To know they're mine
Golden barley, molten lead
Sell your sister out for bread
And like Abraham on high
I live inside the sky
I feel it on the wind and in your song
But all I see are lonely faces
Broken streets and empty places
I don't need to hear the thoughts inside your mind
To know they're mine
It gets better every day
All my love will fade away
Given time

Brendan Steere Pasadena, California
Singer/songwriter from awesome alternative rock band Free Parking!
I also make movies.
Brendan Steere recommends:
My real band, which is where all the good stuff goes, trust me.

supported by 7 fans who also own “Red Star”
For me, I love the way the lyrics accompany the sound. The sort of juxtaposition of lyrics about mental health and loneliness with the typically upbeat instrumentals, some harsher than others.

Asuka Re(build)

In essence, this is an album about crushing on Asuka from NGE but it crushed my heart in a different way
