Grey Matter

by Faith evans

Bite the tongue, to live with what you've done.
It's so good.
Lie to myself while I lie with myself.
It's Monday and it's raining.
It's Sunday in the sun.
It's so good, but...
Would it be so bad,
if you were to pretend that you were so happy?
Keep it to yourself,
don't let the secret go.
If you were so willing.
But let's pray for this suicide
and all these pictures falling down around me.
I've surrounded myself with all I have inside.
Would I bite my tongue,
and live with what you've done?
Just continue sleeping?
Selfishly consumed with everything you've wrought.
There's nothing I can do.
But let's pray for this suicide
and all these pictures falling down.
One wish full, step to the side.
And please just let me know...
Are you happy?
I'll decide.
These stories are so old,
how they match your eyes.
But let's pray for this suicide
and all these pictures falling down.
One wish full, step to the side
and pick these pictures from the ground that surround me.

Grey Matter

by Thursday

your hands in the wind
your pretending to be affected
by soft blows on your skin
grey matter is resurrected
until you go away to see
this song will be defended
it will rise up again
refreshed and directed
my defense is this song
reflecting so strong that it burns for lives
and then they are one
and to know they believe is the unity
of a power so strong
it crushes them all into writing this song
and soon there is wrong
and finally they will be gone forever
your hands in the wind
your pretending to be affected
by soft blows on your skin
grey matter is resurrected
grey matter is resurrected
grey matter is resurrected
I would die in the fight for us
defending the song that gave us life
I would die in the fight for us
defending the song that gave us life
I would die in the fight for us
defending the song that gave us life
I would die in the fight for us
defending the song that gave us life

Grey Matter

by janet jackson

I hate you, I love you
Leave, please
Don't go away
Can't decide if
I like your face
Or if I wish
It would stray
You're a child but
You're malicious
You're sweet but
Don't remember my name
And heads you win
And tails I'm lost
And love equals pain
I am drifting
Without an anchor
Through your ambigous region
A strange continent
Immune to all reason
And I'm flattered by
Your grey matter
Inside my skin
I feel your tongue
Telling me I'm dirty
And licking my bones
A surge against silence
A knife across a plate
Makes the sound
Of need on hate
I am drifting
Without an anchor
Through your ambigous region
A strange continent
Immune to all reason
And I'm flattered by
Your grey matter
And I do not understand
Why a woman can't
Just love a man
You're amusing
You're a real cool show
With your meat hooks
And barbed wire carnival
You got glitter in your pocket
You got mothballs in your soul
From too many false teeth
And greasy flash bulbs
I am drifting
Without an anchor
Through your ambigous region
A strange continent
Immune to all reason
And I'm flattered by
Your grey matter
I love you
I hate you
