see my room in the window,
warped and doubled.
i wish i were dead;
sit on my bed to write a poem.
sometimes i feel weighed down
with gifts i never asked for.
i'm sorry i hate them so;
i'm trying to do what you would do.
someday i'll be grateful
(we all learn to be grateful)
we learn not to run from things that only mean to kill us.
we try not to run from things that really mean the most to us.
we learn not to run from things that only mean the worst for us.
we try not to run from things that really mean the very most

oh you love me,
how you love me:
i've heard it said, i've seen it written, i've heard it sung,
but i could never believe
that you loved me,
not if i heard it from your own tongue.
oh you love me,
yes you love me
and yes i know you've been trying to let me know
but i've been wandering about
beneath the shadow of a doubt
and i'm scared it'll never let me go.
i felt the heat of your
fiery furnaces
on my face since before i could speak.
heard your voice in the storm,
felt so hopeless and forlorn
and in the stillness always drifted off to sleep.
do you love me?
do you love me?
i'm sorry to have to ask you again.
when i see your face,
when i feel your embrace,
i may ask you even then.
i may ask you even then.
(may i ask you even then?)

things that i looked forward to
all came and went and left the world unmoved,
so what do i do?
and nothing i remember
was as good as i remember it to be;
how can that be?
and so i will burden you
with a hundred burning desires
and stare down a crucifix,
and throw myself on the fire,
on the fire.
and i know that you're coming back
like a lightning bolt down the wire
and i hope there'll be something left of me
if you throw me on the fire,
on the fire,
on the fire,
on the fire.

Harrison Lemke Austin, Texas
tape-hiss symphonies to God
Harrison Lemke recommends:
Wild, slightly funky, slightly proggy indie rock songs that make you feel alive.
go to album
Child of My Sorrow
by The Chairman Dances
I'm in awe of the stories Eric tells with such an economy of words here. The magnificent arrangements and weighty vocals, which seem always about to fade into sigh or groan, also help.
go to album
Boots Quest DX OST
by Dragon Warrior
I made a video game, and this is the soundtrack by my Casiotone guitar pop / ambient / experimental music project. That's a weird digression but sometimes life is like that.
