"That guy is Swag Master Mcgee" May 7, 2013

From the album Plans, released August 30, 2005
"In Catholic school/ as vicious as Roman rule/ I got my knucles bruised/ by a lady in black/ and I held my tounge/ as she told me son/ fear is the heart of love/ so I never went back...
/you and me/ have seen everything to see/ from Bangkok to Calgary/ and the soles of your shoes/ are all worn down/ the time for sleep is now/ it's nothing to cry about/ 'cause we'll hold eachother soon/ in the blackest of rooms"

"Oh wow hello!" May 5, 2013

From the EP Menorah/ Majora, released October, 2002
"I should be happy/ that I am still here/ light up a new joint/ put on an old shirt/ try to remember/ forget how my brain works...
/so I heat my breath to burning wax/ 'cause I know that spark ain't coming back...
/I've got all my friends here/ we haven't been talking as of lately/ they've all found new bros and babies/ I have smoked away my pride/ I have smoked away my pride/ there's nothing but the cinders of it inside/ but I believe in more than nothingness last year/ and under every quiet failure it's still here/ burie breathing under eighteen years of tragedy and fear/ if I could/ crawl my way out of this grave/ just think of all the time I'd save...
/the stereos playing the same old songs/ the same old songs/ but we still hum along...
/and in no time we'll be spread across the Earth/ donning business suits to show the faceless master what we're worth/ from our huggies to armani/ and it all seems to rehearsed"

Song #123: Soul Meets Body- Death Cab For Cutie
From the album Plans, released August 30, 2005
"I want to live/ where soul meets body/ and let the sun wrap it's arms around me/ and bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing/ and feel/ feel what's it like to be new/ 'cause in my head/ there's a greyhound station/ where I send my thoughts/ to far off destinations/ so they may have a chance/ of finding a place where they're far more suited than there/ I cannot guess/ what we'll discover/ we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels/ but I know our flithy hands/ can wash one another's/ and not one speck will remain/ I do believe it's true/ that there are roads left in both of our shoes/ but if the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too/ so brown eyes I hold you near/ 'cause you're the only song I want to hear/ a melody softly soaring through my atmosphere"

From the album Settle Down, released June 11, 2011
"It's like I don't have the patience/ or the willpower to separate myself/ from this inundating era I've been dealt/ and all across the nation/ pixelated screens light up the night/ of insomniacs and night owls alike"
