"A plate of quite peculiar on a dish of my own
A tablespoon of feather, tickle me to the bone
Give me recipes for happy with the chemicals gone
Drinking freedom from a bottle to the tune of belong"
-X Amount of Words
Isn't that amazing? Justin Furstenfeld is an amazing writer!!! Here are some more examples:
"Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?
I walk as far as they need to recover
For how long?"
-Overweight
"So rest assured I have the key to every opening
To every wishing well that's deep enough to dream
I wanna show you just how fascinating kissing is
When earth collides with all the space between, yeah"
-Sound Of Pulling Heaven Down
If you are familiar with Hate me, then you know that Justin Furstenfeld is an ex addict/alcoholic. Like me he has suffered from depression. That song is about his mother, and the cd version has a tape recording of his mom leaving a message on his machine. How very sad. I hear that song and I think, "That is what a mom is supposed to be!!! I would do that for my children, too!"
"In my sick way I want to thank you
For holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself
You were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions
On things like suicide or hate
You made me compliment myself
When it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so fucking far away
That I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart
To leave me behind
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah, ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you"
-Hate Me
One last word from me, these guys are originally from Houston. Cool!

VERY impressive!!!
Thanks for posting those.
I've owned that album for awhile, as well as their other one. I didn't know that song was about his mom, even though I figured out the message was from her
