Still Untitled - A WIP From The Upcoming Album Tentatively Titled S.A.L.A.G.I.A. by i220 & Speak Lexia
I feel you,
Rippling under my skin.
You: dripping,
And gripping my senses.
I'm senseless --
Completely defenseless.
But, what else should I do?
I wish I could do better,
Than sending this letter to...
Dear Sarah,
I hope this note finds you better than me.
Can't stop sweating -- getting tired of fighting this.
The simple things just don't interest and,
This blue haze that's settled over me is stifling;
A trifle too complicated for your's truly, I guess.
Please respond. This is the seventh correspondence for me.
Can't stop thinking -- tinkering with these numbers.
I've lost sight of what it is to feel -- to care.
Your hair haunts me. It's daunting -- all so unreal.
I don't even like apples but I can't resist.
Maybe if I read, I'd know a better way.
At 1:13 today, I looked over the papers.
It all seems so perfect but for who?
You? Me? All of the supposed innocents?
I doubt it. Lamenting that seems senseless.
Madness! It burns through my temples.
I have ample but you deny me mine.
Give me a sign -- something to chase this night.
I can't escape this undelightful plight of,
Self-destruction, reconstruction and repeat.
So, it would seem that we're doomed to mate.
This fornication could turn the nation back.
Adulterous sultry sluts burning the cross --
It's perversion -- a diversion to come across.
But the weak will topple the strong.
Our loss.
I feel you,
Rippling under my skin.
You: dripping,
And gripping my senses.
I'm senseless --
Completely defenseless.
But, what else should I do?
I wish I could do better,
Than sending this letter to you.

Lyric by Matthew: 2:20
Bad religion from green to red.
Nothing ventured -- nothing said.
Usher sheep through the gate.
Drop a penny on a golden plate.
Breedin' a mutual hate.
Stolen verses from a broken book.
Mother Superior with a guilty look.
Noah's Ark in a sea of trust.
Scattered faith rising from the dust.
Creatin' a visual lust.
La la la la la la la la...
I don't want to understand.
Salvation on a credit card.
Economic heroes never worked so hard.
30 silver pieces is all it takes to ensure maturation in your heavenly stakes --
Avoidin' the fiery lakes.
La la la la la la la la...
I don't need to hear the truth.
Copyright: Matthew Wilson, 2008. From the forthcoming album tentatively titled "G[o]od". Lyrics subject to change.

LAST MONTH: July was a 'lyrical' month. I, Mattyy, have been working on a couple of albums and the words are all but finished so I decided to preview here. Plus, our friend and resident genius, Lucas, submitted a palindrome that he's been working on: http://www.themusicalrevolution.com/weblog/freestylelyricspoetry/index.html
Please keep the works coming all. Submit to: weblog@themusicalrevolution.com
IMPORTANT!: The major labels have been cheating the MySpace music charts since the outset using software designed to boost their artist's play counts. Recently that software has been made available to independent artists and now there's a debate on whether it is ok or not. My opinion is that major label music is mostly irrelevant anyway and needs all the help it can get. We, however, need to, "keep it real." Independents that use this technology are fake and hurting the credibility of the rest of us just trying to create decent music. I BLAME YOU! LOL!! But my opinion is a drop in the sea. What do yoU think? That changes everything.
NEWS: Workers at La Scala (famous Italian opera house) have gone on strike aGain sparking patrons to.. wait and still not support the local troupe down the street... The sixth chord of John Cage's 'As Slow As Possible' was played on a church organ in Germany. The piece is expected to end in 2640 -- that's one way to sidestep the critics... Pandora for iPhone is getting decent reviews -- where available... Oppenheimer Park, Vancouver workers are looking for donations for their program that gives homeless people access to musical instruments. Next in their concert series.. 'La Boheme'. Ba-dap daP!
PROPAGANDA: Lindsay Lohan. Samantha Ronson.. Shame shame shame. When does sexual preference stop being a publicity stunt?.. 
Kylie Minogue has just received the Order of the British Empire?? WoW! When real life BECOMES an Australian soap opera!.. And it's official. Guitar Hero has just scored JIMI HENDRIX. Top that Rock Band! Yeah, we just cashed in the "dead hero" card... Chris Brown has scored a massive UK hit with the song, 'Forever'. Fans. It's a chewing gum commercial! *Maniacal laughter* L..M..A..O...
Love,
