Box Of Rain

Look out of any window
any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
birds are winging or
rain is falling from a heavy sky

What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
for this is all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago

Walk out of any doorway
feel your way, feel your way
like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
around some corner
where it's been waiting to meet you

What do you want me to do,
to watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
when you find me dreaming too

Look into any eyes
you find by you,
you can see clear to another day
I know it's been seen before
through other eyes
on other days while going home

What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
with words half spoken and thoughts unclear

What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through
A box of rain will ease the pain
and love will see you through

Just a box of rain -wind and water
-Believe it if you need it,
if you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -Wind and rain
in and out the window
like a moth before a flame

It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
and a short time to be there

im listening to clips of music from i heart huckabees.
music really does take a grade A movie and give it a plus.

I watched the superbowl, and I saw the salute to the declaration and veterans and all that. The sequence started with representatives from american aid organizations reciting excerpts from the declaration of independence. As bill clinton would point out, the declaration of independence was a document asserting the freedom of white men in america from england, and most of the representatives seen, were black men. He noted for everyone to recognize and be proud of how far we've come. However women weren't the subject of the declaration of independence, they werent mentioned at all or included. And there were no women viewed. and don't u tell me that there are no women in any american aid organizations.

sometimes i just want to give up on the whole thing. maybe that's my immaturity talking, or just the fact that I see just how insufficient america really is. if we really were the nation that every kid is raised to think we are, i wouldnt have a problem. but we're not. and thats unacceptable. I don't understand why we teach our children american history. it's all just a pretty tale of horses and parchment paper. who gives a shit who discovered america? as an american i am entitled to be just as outraged as i am at this load of sausage that we obsessively ask god to bless. cuz honestly its a wild day when i'm proud to be an american. you can put that on ur commercials.

honestly i'd see it burn. if there is a god, let him strike us down like we deserve. Someone has to teach this country that its emptiness will never be filled, not by all the oil in the world, and not by any triumph in battle. there is no more america.

its all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago.
