Modern Celebrity

I pity anyone who doesn't have dreams of their own, who lack the longing to test their limits, and those who simply give up and live up to the expectation of whatever bloodline begat them.

Human beings were meant to be individuals. To express themselves and find themselves. And those born with silver spoons in their mouths, wracked with guilt and their palates cloying with foods that are too rich and wasteful, who rally at their apparent uselessness and cannot accept their lot in life, nor FIND that lot but rather just swallow whatever life gives them...

Yeah. I don't envy you people.

A Megadeth-ish thrash/heavy metal riff and beat. Believe it or not the timing is perfect right out the gate, and when Anubis Unit gets around to doin' this puppy (or No Rhymes, whichever) it's going to hit HARD.

Enjoy, lemme know what you think, the usual fixin's on the side. In the meantime, time for steak!

There strides forth those misbegotten Godly Ones
Those chosen within the framework of existence

There goes forth those children of the Gods
Paying heed only to their unnecessary whims

All bow to those unfortunate souls
Silver spoons deep within their orifice
All pay heed to their gormless words
Even as the guilt tears them from deep within

There by the grace of God goes they who
Live only up to the expectations of others

See them march upon their straightened path
See them as they fall prey to their chosen ends

All bow to those unfortunate ones
Silver spoons damming their insufferable cries
All ignore their true dreams and drives
But all pay heed to when they fall

Success
Success
Success
Completely unbidden

Success
Success
Success
Absolute unforgiven

Success
Success
Success
Increase the drive

Success
Success
Success
Profit from their lives

You cannot stand the head if you've never been burned
You shall wither under the gaze of scrutiny

Deny your dreams and deny yourself and
Whether or not you decide from life unto death

All bow to those unfortunate chosen
Those who can never do wrong publicly
Silver spoons tie up their silver tongues
They're merely lucky, they're merely lucky

Some may be humbled and some may be without
Some must live only so others must die

There strides forth the haunted procession
Of those who dared to struggle against the tide

All bow down to those fortunate souls
To win forever is their desired goal
Silver spoons plot out their every step
How can you wonder that their life is ever anything

but good....
For them....
For us....
To prove....
To us...
The dream...
Cannot die...
It's there...
For only 9.99~!

YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY LINE UP
YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY'RE MISQUOTED
YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY'RE BLINDFOLDED
YOU WATCH THEM ALL AS THEY SMOKE A FINAL CIGARETTE

There strides forth those unholy godless ones
They listen to no other advice but everyone's

There goes forth those oversensitized
Their palates choking on the whims of bad advice

All must bow to these chosen souls
The silver spoon a misguided council
All must know of their quoted words
Dripping with filth even as they scream for help

There by the grace of God goes all of us
Teeming and surging with money, the root of their problems

There goes what little privacy they had
In the search for the contentment they left behind

All must bow to these hungry ones
Silver Spoon starving them as it feeds
All must pay heed to their struggles
Even though their soul continues to bleed

Cherry-Flavored Kisses (Elena's Code)

Well now. I made a promise to show this sometime, and here it is. The "forbidden song." I've written a couple of love songs in my lifetime, and this one is the one that, for some reason, always causes anyone I've ever sung it to try and stab me eventually. I haven't sung it at all for the past couple of times, and I guess...I dunno, reckon I'm testing the waters a little.

Originally I wrote up an entire soundtrack for a comic project. This was number 2 on the list, and each song dealt with a "code" or theme for each character.

Funny story, the absolute other "forbidden song" is also on the list. THAT one, on the other hand, I'll just never talk about it.

I never wrote it. I'll never admit to having written it. Screw you if you find it.

"Cherry" is best whispered as well as sung into someone's ear. Truuuuust me on this Apparently I'm the only one the whole drives-them-to-knife-frenzy occurs, everyone else just has a really good night.

Bah.

I know (I know)
you like the way I drizzle
apple cider over your tongue
I know how to make you happy

Just kissin' and cuddlin'
on-a-Saturday-mornin'
makin' us a sundae...

I know (I know) the way
you like to tease me
baby-

And when the time comes
the sun will rise
just for two
just kissin' and cuddlin'
on-a-Saturday-mornin'

(Chorus)
Tiptoe (tiptoe)
to my window
my doorway's
always
open- for you

Tiptoe (tiptoe)
creep up to my window
C'mon- in-

Every touch (every touch)
Every time (every time)
Just hold your body close to mine

C'mon and gimme the right stuff
Y'know what I'm talkin' about
Gimme all your honey
and your cherry flavored kiss too...

I know (I know)
you like to savor a wet peach
much better

Just take your time
go slow
and I'll let you be- mi-ne...

I know (I know)
the way to make it last
much longer
just kissin' and cuddlin'
on-a-Saturday-mornin'

bridge

C'mon
I feel your hips
twist and shiver
as I run a strawberry
over your mouth

Go on
and just enjoy
the taste sensations
of my sundae
on-a-Saturday-mornin'

You reach for the cream
and don't forget your chocolate
and your honey-

'Cuz we livin' and lovin'
oh all your cherry-flavored kisses
just lovin' a sundae...
just lickin' that sundae...

(Chorus)
Tiptoe (tiptoe)
to my window
my doorway's
always
open- for you

Tiptoe (tiptoe)
creep up to my window
C'mon- in-

Every touch (every touch)
Every time (every time)
Just hold your body close to mine

C'mon and gimme the right stuff
Y'know what I'm talkin' about
Gimme all your honey
and your cherry flavored kiss too...

kissin'...cuddlin'...
on-a-Saturday-early-mornin'

bring your chocolate
Don't forget to bring your honey too-
I'll bring on the cherries
so we can kiss the night away...

Drench ya with cold cider
It's so cool outside
in here still hot...
so nice and stormin' baby-

Feel your tongue
work against mine
cherry-glazed kissin'
all over you...
