did it all get real, i guess it's real enough
they got refrigerators full of blood
another century spent pointing guns
at anything that moves
sometimes i worry that i've lost the plot
my twitching muscles tease my flippant thoughts
i never really dreamed of heaven much
until we put him in the ground
but it's all i'm doing now
listening for patterns in the sound
of an endless static sea
but once the satellite's deceased
it blows like garbage through the streets
of the night sky to infinity
but don't you weep (don't you weep for them)
there is nothing as lucky
don't you weep
there is nothing as lucky, as easy, or free
don't be a criminal in this police state
you better shop and eat and procreate
you got vacation days then you might escape
to a condo on the coast
i set my watch to the atomic clock
i hear the crowd count down 'til the bomb gets dropped
i always figured that there'd be time enough
i never let it get me down
but i can't help it now
looking for faces in the clouds
i got some friends i barely see
but we're all planning to meet
we'll lay in bags as dead as leaves
all together for eternity
but don't you weep
there is no one as lucky
honey, don't you weep
there is nothing as lucky, as easy, or free

SINCE DIRECT LINKING DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO WORK.
pratt is coools. the work is pretty much everything we did at lvpa, minus sculpture. theres alot of cats in the neighborhood. i'm sure you would appreciate them.
Yeah, I went on before Meow Meow. I did a strip tease on stilts as the Grim Reaper celebrating the end of his shift. It's a shame you missed both. Meow is indefatigable.
PLEASE do me a ginormousss favor and add this amazing Long Island band called Push Play at www. myspace. com/pushplayrox! they have amazing pop/rock music and they're the SWEETEST guys you'll ever meet. they comment back and will talk to you :D not to mention the fact that they're 4 of the best looking guys i've ever seen :D
when you add them, PLEASE leave a note saying 'tracey at myspace. com/trac3y told me to check you guys out!'
if you do this for me, i will seriously love you forever! (im just trying to get the word out about them and they asked that when i tell people about them and ask them to add, they leave a note saying who told you about them)
PLEASE help me with thiss! they're amazing guys!
- tracey :]
P. S - Please tell your friends to do the same thing with the same note (with my name and url) if you wouldnt mind! Comment me back if you add and left the note! thanks! <3
dude - i'll totally try. i'd have to think of a second reason to come to philly though... cause i dont know anyone who's friends with both you and i... tommy? if he's my friend.
yo, i was thinking - if you get out of work before you can get ahold of me - just tell the people out front of my house that you'd want to get me! they'd let you up. also - if you cant get ahold of me, i might go with my friend Steve from pottstown - and i'd see you there... it would be more convienient to all pile up, but whatevs... if you cant go - i guess i'll miss you... and tell me when you're coming back. make me high priority, and i'll do the same.
i loved seeing you yesterday. you're still my fantastica favorite. i listened to your music - i relaly really really really really really liked the first two especially, the instrumental, and the one about killing the captain. i really thyink you are a good lyracist - especially for your age - i hope you get seasoned with college - dont stop writing, please. i liked the middle few - but not as much as the first two, i think cause you rwere sick - i can tell which ones. ;-) and i DID recognize the one that you recorded with matt - that's one that i definately heard from you a bunch before.
i;'d love to make some songs with you - we should make a song, and record two different versions for each of our demo/EP/first albums.
the only thing i have to say to improve the stuff - would be the recording - even though it wasnt that bad at all - the mics sounded like you spent alot more then you actually did on them.
also - all the songs sound so empty - you should put drums/other instruemnts? behind your piano - if you did that, they'd all be amazing.
that's my input. i really really really miss you already - i want to hangout AMAP (as much as possible).
:-) thanks for bein' a sister! :-)
IM me and tell me what's going on! don;t forget! (NSTLbcluff).
