I'm going out sleepwalking
Where mute memories start talking The boss that couldn't help but hurt you And the pretty thing he made desert you I'm going out now like a baby A naïve unsatisfiable baby Grabbing onto whatever's around For the soaring high or the crushing down With hidden cracks that don't show But that constantly just grow I'm looking for the man that attacked me While everybody was laughing at me You beat it in me that part of you But i'm gonna split us back in two Tired of living in a cloud If you're gonna say shit now you'll do it out loud It's 2:45 in the morning And i'm putting myself on warning For waking up in an unknown place With a recollection you've half erased Looking for somebody's arms to Wave away past harms I'm walking out on center circle The both of you can just fade to black I'm walking out on center circle Been pushed away and i'll never go back |

O'm floating in a black balloon
O.D. on easter afternoon My mama told me baby stay clean There's no in between And all you ladies and you gentlemen Between is all you've ever seen or been Fit poorly and arrange the sight Doll it up in virgin white You disappoint me You people rakin' in on the world The devil's script sells You the heart of a blackbird Shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart Sun is rising on a chopping glare Rain dropping acid blotter in the air A distorted reality's now a neccessity to be free So disappointing So first i put it all down to luck God knows why my country don't give a fuck fuck Shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart Shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart |

Everything is gone but the echo of the burst of a shell
And i'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling In the city i built up and blew to hell I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling Still i sinned all the time My request for relief Down the dead power lines Though i'm beyond belief In the help i require Just to exist at all Took a long time to stand Took an hour to fall I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling Stuck here waiting for a passing feeling |

I got a question mark
A got a need to always take some shoot in the dark I don't have to make pretend the picture i'm in is totally clear You think that all things have a way they ought to appear 'cos you know you know you know you know You know you know you know you know you know I don't I dream Don't know what you mean Panic called you out and took you in Giving you an easy game and letting you win You're giving back a little hatred now to the world 'cos it treated you bad 'cod you couldn't keep the great unknown from making you mad 'cos you know you know you know you know You know you know you know you know you know I don't I dream Don't know what you mean Said your final word, but honesty and love could've kept us together One day you'll see it's worth it after all If you ever want to say you're sorry you can give me a call |

You walk down alameda shuffling
your deck of trick cards over everyone Like some precious only son Face down, bow to the champion You walk down alameda looking at the cracks in the sidewalk Thinking about your friends How you maintain all them in a constant state of suspense For your own protection over their affection Nobody broke your heart You broke your own because you can't finish what you start Walk down alameda brushing off the nightmare you wish Could plague me when i'm awake And now you see your first mistake was thinking that you could relate For one or two minutes she liked you But the fix is in You're all pretension I never pay attention Nobody broke your heart You broke your own because you can't finish what you start Nobody broke your heart You broke your own because you can't finish what you start Nobody broke your heart You broke your own because you can't finish what you start Nobody broke your heart If you're alone it must be you that wants to be apart" |

Here come your pride and joy,
The comic little drunk you call your boy, making everybody smile. Who takes your pretty plan, And then becomes a disappearing man, After a little while. I saw you with your makeup running down, Now what's that all about? You say you don't want anyone around, 'Cause you're all cleaned out. You toss the empty beer, Not really as composed as you appear, An icicle inside. Wearing clothes that clash, Wondering, is this treasure, is this trash? Still trying to decide. Now about five o'clock here comes your clown, With the foot he's throwing down. But all you say is you don't want anyone around, No, not right now. There ain't nothing to dream, You don't wanna think about it. I'm sorry you seem so stung, And I'm sorry you think you have to hold your tongue, When you're so pretty and smart. I'm seeing you caving in, Becoming afraid of all these men, That you've given your heart. I saw you with your makeup running down, Now what's that all about? You say you don't want anyone around, 'Cause youre all cleaned out. All cleaned out, All cleaned out. |

Think I'm unkind
But people aren't the way you think they are They can't remember all the time What it was you wanted They paint you out in straight silhouette But don't you get the picture yet Why you getting all upset The worst parts almost over Three's such a crowd You ought to tell me what you tell yourself You ever gonna speak it aloud Do I have to guess like everyone else With an iron will to walk the walk And the glass drawn that can't be moved to talk Black eyes always watch the clock The worst parts almost over You let yourself be froze by death You think I'm mean 'cause I call you out You don't know what you're about The worst parts almost over now The worst parts almost over now Now now |

I'm absent and numb from shock Reaching around for the hands of the clock Should've lied Lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up Cupid's trick comes Down to shake and deal The stupid kick that makes me real Should've lied Lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up She's shaking down It's never over and done. So, kick me, cane me Then i'll know Why Lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up |

from Elliott Smith - Division Day/ No Name #6 [single] (2005)
There was grown man dying from fright
So surprised by the things he'd say With a giant fantasy life Running 'round on feet of clay Naked except for a perpetual debt That couldn't be stripped away An unrightable wrong that moved him Along closer to division day Spent a long time living with that Never could give it a name And when you don't know what you're Looking at it makes it much harder to take Mostly they'd meet when he was Asleep and have some sick exchange That stuck him as wrong and moved him Along closer to division day I can't make an exception for a bad Connection that only goes one way Sell out for a song where I don't belong With you on division day The moon stood up on the ridge Looking down where the water shines And a man looking over the bridge Like he done so many times Thinking about how to stay out Out of troubles way and Flying to fall away from you all It's over division day Beautiful division day Thinking about how to stay out Out of troubles way Flying to fall away from you all It's over division day Beautiful division day |

I met a girl
Snowball in hell She's as hard And as cracked as a liberty bell And I got her to Come on move in with me And I said I'll find a better place Where we can spend eternity Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me baby stay Her mother called me a thief And her dad called himself Commander and chief I fall in love with my love But I knew the kind of worthless ness we have to raise above Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me baby stay Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me baby stay She had a dream Woke up in shock She had seen Her own body outlined in chalk No fingerprints were found on the gun And her ghost leaned down to kiss me With a message from the sun Don't go down Don't go down Stay with me baby stay Don't go down Stay with me baby stay Don't go down Stay with me baby stay |

* Drive All Over Town - Elliott Smith
Two dollar color pictures from a photo booth Dirty stepped on lying out on the floor of their room Faces fell long in the half light He looks all wrong but that's her alright Look at him smiling full of teeth Clenched tight He knew the one time with the army captain He got one that whole deal before it happened Said its okay I knew exactly what you meant When you said you were an accident But when it's 3am he wonders where in the hell she went And he'll drive all over town Drive all over town And he'll drive all over town Drive all over town Until he tracks her down He'll drive all over town |

You'll take advantage 'til you think you're being used
Cause without an enemy your anger gets confused I got stuck on the side you know, i never chose But it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose There's no escape for you except in someone else Although you've already disappeared within yourself The invisible man who's always changing clothes It's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose Well i don't want you making mistakes I wish you luck i really do But the problem with the puzzle Whatever's left to you I heard you found another audience to bore A creative thinker who imagined you were more A new body for you to push around and pose It's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose It's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose |

You're strong, you're stubborn now In an endless symbolic war Brave or bored, either/or Sometimes I ricochet from the past And at times a future I've already had before Champion or chore, either/or. I'll write the pages you rip out Back in their places again One day you'll know what you're talking about I can hardly imagine, but until then I'll be Filling in these blanks that you create Every time you win some petty score Posing as hardcore, oh yeah, either/or Look at the spin chief, battered and broken Clutching a plastic rose We're all in the downpour you carry around for Trashing a lifestyle you've never known It's a useful dream that makes Quite an entertaining show and not much more Up against and for, either/or |

Yes everybody cares about you Yeah and whether or not you want them to It's a chemical embrace that kicks you in the head To a pure synthetic sympathy that infuriates you totally And a quiet lie that makes you wanna scream and shout So here i lay dreaming looking at the brilliant sun Raining it's guiding light upon everyone For a moment's rest you can lean against the banister After running upstairs again and again from wherever they came to fix You in but always fear the city's finest follow right behind You got a pretty vision in your head A pencil full of poison lead And a sickened smoke illegal in every town So here i lay dreaming looking at the brilliant sun Raining its guiding light upon everyone Here i lay dreaming looking at the brilliant sun Raining its guiding light upon everyone You say you mean well, you don't know what you mean Fucking OUGHT to stay the hell away from things you know nothing about |

I never really had a problem because of leaving But everything reminds me of her this evening So if I seem a little out of it, sorry Why should I lie? Everything remends me of her The spin of the earth impaled the silhouette of the sun on the steeple And I got to hear the same sermon all the time now from you people Why are you staring into outer space, crying? Just because you came across it, and lost it Everything reminds me of her Everything reminds me of her Everything reminds me of her

It's been many miles Since I've seen your fallen smile Close up and personal Your arsenal of excuses You never told her When you walked out on the savannah shoulder With your veins all full of beer Thinking well at least now everything is clear But oh man What plan Suicide It's just not that much different from my own affair Always cussing and crying How about if you Tell me something new Tell me what will make you happy Oh you So deserve to be There were protests and contests Attitudes to cop I want it all to stop Three weeks ago you were all grace and charm And now I know it was just a false alarm Georgia Georgia I can't understand your sickness You have no forgiveness No attention left to pay The quiet way you leave And just forget it all Just takes my breath away How's that supposed to make me feel Yeah, well, how am I supposed to feel |

Go on parade and fade
Hit the scene in slow Spending all your time with some girl You'll never get to know Wound up tight Dressed all in white Some torment saint Blowing out to drift Leave you even if You live up in your head Scared of every little noise Someone's always breaking in accidentally Using nothing but their voice Shrill and small Echo down the hall Repeating pet names Seeing it in your eyes You're only passing by Go by Someone's in the way Pretty words and inside slurs All the things they have to say To perform the work that they've rehearsed It's a waste of time I put it behind me Once and for all And let the hype decline If the problem wasn't mine Go by |

Well you shouldn't doctor yourself,
Well I pictured somebody else. Someone that looks like, What I look like. Would you say that the one of your dreams Got in you and ripped out the seams? That's what I'd say, That's what I'd say. He was a sucker for your double dose, Motherfucker turned white as a ghost. Don't you say "Hi," Don't you say "Hi." With a broken sink for a face, And a head that just takes up space. He's not half right, He's not half right. It's already half past, and it won't last. I was sticking up for my friend, When there's nothing much to defend. It's a lost fight, It's a lost fight. 'Cause when i talk to you on the phone Well, it's just like being alone. It's not half right, It's not half right. |

Activity's killing the actor
And a cop's standing out in the road Turning traffic away There was nothing she could do until after When his body'd been buried below Way back in the day Oh my Nothing else could have been done Made his life a lie so He might Never have to know anyone Made his life the lie you know I told him that he shouldn't upset her And that he'd only be making it worse Involving somebody else But I knew that he'd never forget her While her memory worked in reverse To keep her safe from herself And oh my Nothing else could have been done She made her life a lie so She might Never have to know anyone Made her life the lie you know What I used to be will pass away And then you'll see That all I want now is happiness For you and me What I used to be will pass away And then you'll see That all I want now is happiness For you and me What I used to be will pass away And then you'll see That all I want now is happiness For you and me All I want now is happiness For you and me |

8. 마지막 통화 (Last Call)
마지막 통화 그에겐 모든게 지긋지긋했다 집에서 잠들어 있는 당신에게 작별을 고했다 글쎄, 당신도 알겠지만 언젠가는 생각나겠지 당신이 그에게 사실을 말하지 않았다는 걸 너는 위기상황이다. 너는 냉담한 사람이고 너는 말없는 이야깃꾼이고 네 자신이 무슨 말을 하는지 따위에 전혀 신경쓰지 않지 너는 무단횡단자, 그리고 언제나 그렇게 멋대로 가버린다고 네가 하는 일들이 다 그래 멀어지는 당신의 신발소리에 그는 문득 당신이 모르는 사람처럼 느껴졌다 마지막 통화 그에겐 모든게 지긋지긋했다 당신을 생각나게 하는 것들은 끝도 없이 떠올랐고 그 때문에 그는 당신이 너무도 지겹고도 지겹고 지겨웠다 당신의 소리도 지겨웠고 당신이 다가오는 것도 지겨웠다 내 화를 돋구려고 다가오는 당신에게 이미 내가 최고의 방어태세를 제거 했을 땐 어디를 보나 당신이 이겼다는 표시뿐이고 나는 아무래도 끝장난 것 같다 당신은 이제야 안전하게 나의 스위치를 끌 수 있을 것이다 내가 여기 누워 잠이 나를 덮쳐주길 기다릴 동안에는 그렇다, 당신은 아직 여기 있다. 하지만 분명히 해두는 게 좋을걸 당신이 그토록 열망했던 건 오직 참는 것 뿐이었다는 걸 요구하는 걸 얻지 못한다는 사실을 알 때 당신은 더 이상 요구를 할 수가 없다, 더 이상은 그게 바로 달 속의 남자처럼 당신이 온 사방에 스스로의 그림자를 드리우는 이유다 당신은 마시기 시작하고 아무튼 계속 마시고 싶어한다 이것도 곧 작년 일이 되어 버리겠지 당신은 마시기 시작했고 계속 마시고 싶어한다 이것도 곧 작년 일이 되어 버리겠지 교회 종소리에 깬 나는 오늘이 공휴일이었나 하고 생각했다 나까지 그 축하무리에 낄 생각은 없는데 그래도 예배에는 참석할 것이다 가서 기도도 하고 내 조물주의 이름을 찬양할 것이다. 마치 내가 그녀가 나를 만드신 것만큼 착했던 것처럼 그리고 그녀가 절대로 나를 깨우지 않겠다고 말해주길 바랬다 나는 그녀가 절대로 나를 깨우지 않겠다고 말해주길 바랬다 X7 나는 여기 누워 잠이 나를 덮쳐주길 기다렸다 |

I'll go down stay down Sleep the rest of the day Dream new music to calm down Stay down and keep evil away I can hear you asleep Changing your shape Dissolved in some dream As a new one appears To take you along where you've never been One, two, three, four, five, six ? The moonlight tonight seems to belong to me Cause i even though some can't sleep They need some company One hit wouldn't hurt a bit at all Slow down sleep What's ? If it's good shit you won't know And i won't know the fact that i'm dying If i seem to be reckless with myself It's the fault of no one All things have a place Under the moon as well as the sun One more Little one i love you |

Another sick rock and roller Acting like a dick Needing cash Rooting through the trash That piles up in this place And fills up behind my empty face Full of things we are not to do You come over with all of your friends And all their opinions I don't want to know And I'm looking over my shoulder Booking away with nowhere to go I run down to the corner lot It's forty-five past two I almost forgot to show I got a date to make with Mr So and So After which I won't care when you all start to bitch And moan about being alone You come over with all of your friends And all their opinions I don't want to know And I'm looking over my shoulder Booking away with nowhere to go Why can't you just leave me alone You've already thrown All the sticks and stones You had to send my way Why can't you just leave it at that And spare us both the bother Cuz I just bounce back anway I got nothing that I want to do More than make another Sonic fuck you to play Whenever you make my life cliche So to fit in some little box With all the made up shit you say To keep confusion away You come over with all of your friends And all their opinions I don't want to know And I'm looking over my shoulder Booking away with nowhere to go You come over with all of your friends And all their opinions I don't want to know And I'm looking over my shoulder Booking away |

from Elliott Smith - From A Basement On The Hill (2004)
this is the place
you'll end up when you lose the chase where you're dragged against your will from a basement on the hill and all anybody knows is you're not like them and they kick you in the head and send you back to bed isolation pulled you pass a tunnel to a bright world where you can make a place to stay but everybody's scared of this place they're staying away your little house on memory lane the mayor's name is fear his voice patrols the pier from a mountain of cliche that advances everyday the doctor spoke a cloud he rained out loud you'll keep your doors and windows shut and swear you'll never show a soul again but isolation pushes you ‘til every muscle aches down the only road it ever takes but everybody's scared of this place they're staying away your little house on memory lane if it's your decision to be open about yourself be careful or else be careful or else uncomfortable apart it's all written on my chart and i take what's given to me most cooperatively i do what people say and lie in bed all day absolutely horrified i hope you're satisfied isolation pushes past self hatred, guilt and shame to a place where suffering is just a game but everybodys scared of this place they're staying away your little house on memory lane your little house on memory lane |

Miss Misery
i'll fake it through the day with some help from johnny walker red send the poison rain down the drain to put bad thoughts in my head two tickets torn in half and a lot of nothing to do do you miss me, miss misery like you say you do? a man in the park read the lines in my hand told me i'm strong hardly ever wrong i said man you mean you had plans for both of us that involved a trip out of town to a place i've seen in a magazine that you left lying around i don't have you with me but i keep a good attitude do you miss me, miss misery like you say you do? i know you'd rather see me gone than to see me the way that i am but i am in the life anyway next door the tv's flashing blue frames on the wall it's a comedy of errors, you see it's about taking a fall to vanish into oblivion is easy to do and i try to be but you know me i come back when you want me to do you miss me miss misery like you say you do? |
