I'm leaving you a message,
I'm leaving you a trace,
I'm leaving thoughts for you
I hope that time will not erase.
And when the moment comes
To read the words that I engraved,
You'll find them on the walls of the cave

EDIT: but for real, strange design

Dripping in this strange design
None is yours and far less mine
Hold the wheel, read the sign
Keep the tires off the line
Just relax, you're doing fine
Swimming in this real thing I call life
Can I bring a few companions on this ride?

jerryguscia I LOVE this stanza of It's Ice:

"I'm mimicking the image in whose radiance I bask
I'm tied to him, or him to me, depending who you ask
None the less reluctantly reflections tumble in
I slide with all the other on the wrong side of the skin"

benevolution Permalink
benevolution I would choose my own religion
worship my own spirit
but if he ever preached to me
I wouldn't want to hear it
I'd drop him a forgotten god
languishing in shame
and then if I hit stormy seas
I'd have myself to blame

chris_22 All of It's Ice.

And:
"If you can heal the symptoms
But not affect the cause
It's quite a bit like trying to heal
A gunshot wound with gauze"

And tons others. But those stick out the most.

Stare straight into the future

Aylon Permalink
i'm recovering from an accident, and about a week ago i was surprised to realize that with being less-able bodied comes a weird and unnecessary sense of embarrassment and shame. this line from Maze describes that perfectly, and helped me get through that obstacle:

the torrent of helplessness swept me away
to the cavern of shame and the hall of dismay

Some awesome picks in this thread, agree with many of these (Strange Design, Sand, WOTC, It's Ice)

I'll add

Nothing
"Your hand is extended but then you rescind
And you like my thoughts are borne off by the wind"

Fee:
OooOOohhh Fee, You're tryin to live a life that's completely free
you're racing with the wind, your flirting with death,
So have a cup of coffee and cach your breath"

Every man returns to dust"

Superballin Permalink
Superballin When we were young we thought life was a game
But then somebody leaves you and you’re never the same
All of the places and people belong
To the puzzle but one of the pieces is gone
And it’s you

People hate on this song but I've honestly grown to like it a lot. Obviously not in the middle of a second set but this is a deep song.

FeelingIForgot Permalink
FeelingIForgot I feel the feeling I forgot.

I see the future is less and less there
And the past has vanished in the air
And I'm left and I'm now with a wondrous glow
I think I'm still me
But how would you know?

Where do you go when the lights go out?

That's my favorite, for sure. Also, "The Lizards were a race of people practically extinct from doing things smart people don't do."

Other classics:

"Please me, have no regrets."

"Children are old enough to read Icculus."

"All times and seasons are the reasons
That people and their clans
Have stoned the Famous Mockingbird
With glue and rubber bands
They writhe and cry in agony
As Rutherford the Brave
Chokes Tela and the Unit Monster
Managing to save

The spotted striper's multi-beast
And thereby cheat his grave
I'd like to get his autograph
But he looks too much like Dave
He looks too much like Dave x4"

Down, down, down
Between beams, To the gloom room
Among the seaweed and the slime
Down, down, down
Melt"
