Music from my old website, "Music About Nothing". This album features songs that were written about nothing in particular, and often with community input.
And it came to pass that Shiz pursued after Coriantumr
And he did overthrow many cities
And he did slay both women and children
And he did burn the cities
And there went a fear of Shiz throughout all the land; yea, a cry went forth throughout the land
Who can stand before the army of Shiz? Behold, he sweepeth the earth before him!
Shiz did not cease to pursue Coriantumr
For he had sworn to avenge himself upon Coriantumr of the blood of his brother, who had been slain
And thus we see that the Lord did visit them in the fulness of his wrath
And their wickedness and abominations had prepared a way for their everlasting destruction
Coriantumr, my friend
I write unto you once again
The prophet wants you to repent
But I want you to die
I'm telling you that there is no way
I'm gonna give in to you today
And that is all that I'm gonna say
So long as you're alive
So put on your armor
And meet me on the field
Your life will be no longer
For I will never yield
Who can stand before the army of Shiz?
For he sweepeth the earth before him
Who can stand before the army of Shiz?
Unless you repent of your sin
My dear Shiz, you're a foolish man
Not gonna give in to your demands
I'm gonna do everything I can
To see you end up dead
Our father Jared never knew
Just what his people would come down to
If, in the end, it's just me and you
You're gonna lose your head
So get your men together
For a final fight
This war could last forever
Or it could all end tonight
Who can stand before the army of Shiz?
For he sweepeth the earth before him
Who can stand before the army of Shiz?
Unless you repent of your sin
The Spirit of the Lord ceased to strive with them
As Satan fought for both sides
If they would just repent, they could save their own lives
Is wickedness worth genocide?
Who can stand before the army of Shiz?
For he sweepeth the earth before him
Who can stand before the army of Shiz?
For he sweepeth the earth before him
Who can stand before the army of Shiz?
Sometimes the things you do make me confused
Even your friends are getting mad at you
You should have taken a step back
Instead of driving in that wedge
And your one small step for man
Has led you right off of the edge
Sometimes I say no, but you say yes
And then I ask you "Why?" and you say "Guess"
This kind of communication calls for closed hostility
So I'm gonna get you back for things you haven't done to me
Baby, it's time to talk me down
Or else, baby, yeah, you can't stop me now
There's Pluto in Cuba
And Jupiter in Turkey
This world war is between you and me
There's Kruschev, there's Castro, and Kennedy
And so many people wonder how can it be
It isn't very often when we all get what we want
If you can't please everybody then you gotta please U Thant
Now baby, it's time to talk me down
Or else, baby, yeah, you can't stop me now
We'll shoot down your airplane
You'll put charges in the sea
This world war is between you and me
This world war is between you and me
I heard that girls like guys who’ve got
Opinions and rational thought
I want to prove I do that well, oh
But they all want conversation
With someone who’s got
Stuff in common with themselves, oh
If you say yes, I'll say yes too
And you'll forget what isn't true, oh
I’m thinkin’ about me
I can’t live without me
As long as you feel that way
‘Cause what you say is what I say
I’ll be narcissistic
'Til you can’t live with it
But if you hate these things I do
It’s okay, I hate me, too
You said you like that class you’ve got
Teaches you how to be a wife and mom
So guess which class I’m taking now! Oh
You said you like the color pink
So I painted my car, what do you think?
Can I drive you into town? Oh
If you say yes, I'll say yes too
And you'll forget what isn't true, oh
I’m thinkin’ about me
I can’t live without me
As long as you feel that way
‘Cause what you say is what I say
I’ll be narcissistic
'Til you can’t live with it
But if you hate these things I do
It’s okay, I hate me, too
I...love you
As long as you love you
I’m thinkin’ about me
I can’t live without me
As long as you feel that way
‘Cause what you say is what I say
I’ll be narcissistic
'Til you can’t live with it
But if you hate these things I do
It’s okay, I hate me, too
Listen to the rain outside, I said it makes me feel alright
but you said, "Man, it's just rain"
Holding your hand was a preclusion,
to stop you from jumping to conclusions
The obnubilated sky, petrichor all in my mind
I don't get what there is to hate
And what was once a flowing river
Has now settled into loam
Though you constantly don't understand my superlative vocabulary
That's just another reason you should go
I knew this wouldn't work when I saw you tonight
Your movie quotes were all misspoken and it tore me up on the inside
I knew this wouldn't work when I saw YouTube tonight
I watched the video to prove that I was right
I think you need to go, even though I love you so
Or you'll tear me down for the rest of my life
I'm trying not to get annoyed
But once you said you liked Pink Floyd
And I said, "Hey, so do I"
So I told you a story that I made up
About Us and Them
We were On the Run, we found the Pigs on the Wing
Who tried to Speak to Me
So I called my Mother to say, Hey You
I Wish You Were Here, In the Flesh to see this
But there was Nobody Home
And all you had to say in response
Was "What are you talking about?"
So back to what I was saying
You say you don't like the rain
So I think this is goodbye
We tried this conversation seven thousand times before
But you're so ultracrepedarian
We just sound en rapport
I knew this wouldn't work when I saw you tonight
Your movie quotes were all misspoken and it tore me up on the inside
I knew this wouldn't work when I saw YouTube tonight
I watched the video to prove that I was right
I think you need to go, even though I love you so
Or you'll tear me down
I knew this wouldn't work when I saw you tonight
Your movie quotes were all misspoken and it tore me up on the inside
I knew this wouldn't work when I saw YouTube tonight
I watched the video to prove that I was right
I think you need to go, even though I love you so
Or you'll tear me down for the rest of my life
When you friended me, I couldn't help but see the signs of someone looking for love
No photos to be found of some guy with his arm around you
Your relationship status showed no one
So I wrote you a message
It said, "Girl, we need to talk"
"I'm gonna make you love me, and then I'll drop you like a rock"
Oh, look at me now, I'm standing on the edge of your heart
But can't you see now, that I am gonna tear you apart
Do you remember when Luke learns from old Ghost Ben
That point of view can change reality
Well, what he said is true, and I'm gonna use it on you
I'll think you into being in love with me
And I'll make up your mind, and you'll think I'm so great
But before too long, you're totally gonna hate me
Look at me now, I'm standing on the edge of your heart
But eventually now, I'm gonna tear you apart
You might think I'm crazy, but I'm not crazy
I just wanna ruin your life
Come on and love me baby
Look at me now, I'm standing on the edge of your heart
But can't you see now, that I am gonna tear you apart
When I was young I thought protons, neutrons and electrons were the smallest piece of matter that we came from
But NOVA taught me there are quarks and leptons, with charm and strange
But something else that's strange is what they're made of
This is the theory of the string
They're permeating everything
And stuff is made from black holes by vibrating in some different modes
Yeah, don't you find that interesting?
Interdimensional membranes and the way they move around is the way we get our flavor, charge, mass, and spin
As well as strings, there's points and lines
It's quite a bit like Flatland, except the squares don't go jail in the end
This is the theory of the string
They're permeating everything
And all this goes consistently along with quantum gravity
Yeah, don't you find that interesting?
But is it true?
It's hard to say
Because science changes every day
That's why it's called a theory
This is the theory of the string
I had some stuff to do, but I let my mind go through the floor
And I couldn't get it back in time to fall asleep
There was another way, but now it's another day and I hadn't even started counting sheep
So what was going through my head?
As I was lying there at night in my bed
It's five o'clock at night and I can see the morning light
Coming through the window telling me I've lost my mind
You're just getting up, but I'm still sitting up
Writing songs about how I've wasted all the time I've got
And suddenly it's five o'clock again
Should have done my homework first, my eyesight is getting worse
And I am only halfway through Return of the King
I was tired yesterday, I wasted my time away
And I am still thinking about the songs I could sing
And now my time is running out
And I am starting to forget what this song's about
It's five o'clock at night and I can see the morning light
Coming through the window telling me I've lost my mind
You're just getting up, but I'm still sitting up
Writing songs about how I've wasted all the time I've got
And suddenly it's five o'clock again
And I forgot originally why I stayed up late
And now my time is gone, my mind is gone away
How long have we been together?
Have I ever done anything to hurt you?
I just wanted to help you, but I didn't mean to subvert you
You started hacking my firewall
And tried to pirate my software
We're at the end of the road and I can't tell you how we got there
If you didn't hack me then I wouldn't be leaving
And I don't know what your censorship is achieving
If you did a little more to help me feel like I belong
Then I could always be your Valley Song
You've got me redirecting my engine
To let your users search for Tibet
Sorry if I'm making you angry
But let's see just how mad you can get
If you didn't hack me then I wouldn't be leaving
And I don't know what your censorship is achieving
If you did a little more to help me feel like I belong
Then I could always be your Valley Song
I've got to go
I've got to say goodbye
Please believe me
We'll have to wait and see
If you didn't hack me then I wouldn't be leaving
And I don't know what your censorship is achieving
If you did a little more to help me feel like I belong
Then I could always be your Valley Song
If I could see the smile on your face, I'd swear it wasn't real
If you could see the look on my face, you'd know just how I feel
You're reaching out your hand, but I see it's quivering
You miss the hand you've held so much, you'll reject what I'm delivering
They say the world has tied them down, they're looking for a change
They're living in a different place, but it still feels the same
As long as they could break through to the other side, they could finally figure out the meaning of their lives
But they can't let go of the people who love them so
It's Nigel and Brian, they're on their way to the top of the world
It's Nigel and Brian, they only believe what they haven't heard
Nigel lost a piece to the puzzle, so he threw the whole thing away
Brian found the missing piece, but he threw it in my face
They want the truth so bad, they say it's killing them
But if they do what I said, they could never go home again
Because they can't let go of the people who've loved them so far
It's Nigel and Brian, they're on their way to the top of the world
It's Nigel and Brian, they only believe what they haven't heard
Life isn't a Zelda quest or a political campaign
I know your mother raised you well, but do you know everything?
No, no, no
It's Nigel and Brian, they're on their way to the top of the world
It's Nigel and Brian, they only believe what they haven't heard
It's Nigel and Brian, no wonder why they just can't see the light
Nigel and Brian, maybe someday they'll get it right
Things were going fine
The world was mine
Nobody had any problems
But now I'm gonna give 'em one
You felt comfortable
With how you thought things were gonna go
You thought you knew my mind
And maybe you did, but not this time
So here I go, and from today
You'll be pushing me away
Now that I've made my mark
I am gonna jump
The shark
Gonna have a baby
Change the guy who plays me
Gonna travel through time
And bring a dead guy back to life
So here I go, and from today
You'll be pushing me away
Now that I've made my mark
I am gonna jump
But I'm not gonna nuke the fridge
'Cause that only happens in movies
But I'll bring on some annoying kid
Like you mean nothing to me
Gonna move to Qatar
Gonna marry my co-star
We'll kill off three of our kids
Over creative differences
So here I go, and from today
You'll be pushing me away
Now that I've made my mark
I am gonna jump
The shark
You see your face in the room with the plastic mirror
You're out of place, but not 'cause you've never been here before
They try to talk you down, but you filter out the sound
As you take your first step out of the door
Because the space-time continuum
Thought you were crazy all along
The space-time continuum is wrong
The stars are bright as you begin your quest
Until you find her, you are never gonna rest
The aliens will land, but don't you shake their hands
'Cause they stepped out of a wormhole from the past
And the space-time continuum
Will never be your friend for long
The space-time continuum
Will only ever lead you on
The space-time continuum
Won't let you listen to this song
The space-time continuum is wrong
You'll never know what you should do
Because it's not all up to you
Don't let yourself float on
Into the center of the galaxy
Or you'll never meet your destiny
Because the space-time continuum
Won't tell you that your mind is gone
The space-time continuum
Will always leave you all alone
The space-time continuum
Will beat you up and drag you down
The space-time continuum is wrong
The space-time continuum
Will never be your friend for long
The space-time continuum
Won't let you listen to this song
The space-time continuum
Will only ever lead you on
The space-time continuum is wrong
Let me tell you about this word I hear people use all the time now
I know what it's supposed to mean, but it's used with no reason or rhyme now
I promise you there are reasons behind these things you think are so amiss
Random is not really what you think it is
There are so many things you could say to replace the word "random"
Like "Off the top of my head" or "Ad libbed" or "Lacking equilibrium"
Random's like a random number, not something that you think is weird
Random is not really what you think it is
You could say you were walking around aimlessly
You could say it was unexpected
But don't you tell me now that you met some guy who was random
'Cause if he's random he would talk like this: "..."
Random's not a thing you say when you listen to a song like this
Random is not really what you think it is
Random's not really what you think it is
Random's not really what you think it is
I know a place where nothing's as it seems
Where I get stabbed every night while having
Frigid dreams
And hot water has no heat
And I hear my neighbor breathing through the wall
I'm trying to stay cool but I'm having fits again
Because the internet is on the fritz again
And I can't charge my phone
'Cause the charging cord just won't stay in the wall
Continental, what is the problem with you?
Continental, why have you gotten confused?
You're breaking my heart
You're falling apart
The fridge blew up after making a weird noise
But it was always too small for four growing college boys
Who on earth lived here before?
I can still see bullet holes inside the walls
Continental, what is the problem with you?
Continental, why have you gotten confused?
You're breaking my heart
You're falling apart
I can't see my face inside a mirror that's so low
Twenty-five dollars for a space where there is nowhere left to go
But I don't want to be alone again
No, I don't want to be alone again
No, I don't want to be alone
The door flies open then it's permanently closed
I thought this place would be great but I got totally hosed
Now don't you be surprised
But if I were you then I'd tear down these walls
Continental, what is the problem with you?
Continental, why have you gotten confused?
You're breaking my heart
You're falling apart
It started years ago, every day I heard it
Whoa, pounding in my brain
I opened up my mouth so others could observe it
Whoa, driving me insane
'Cause when music about nothing's in your life
It's always gonna keep you up at night
When music about nothing's in your soul
You'll never be alone
It's never gonna get me, it's never gonna stop
It's never gonna take me where I want
I know sooner or later, my mind will start to go
When music about nothing takes hold
Years went by and slowly I thought it was over
Whoa, I can't get away
And every night the room gets quiet and I still hear it
Whoa, sneaking up on me
'Cause when music about nothing's in your head
It's never gonna stop until you're dead
When music about nothing's in your mind
You're never gonna be fine
It's never gonna get me, it's never gonna stop
It's never gonna take me where I want
I know sooner or later, my mind will start to go
When music about nothing takes hold
And I know the world has long bored
And wants to forget me
You know I would stop if I could
But it won't let me
When music about nothing starts to drive
You're moving fast but you'll never arrive
When music about nothing's in your bones
That's all you'll ever know
It's never gonna get me, it's never gonna stop
It's never gonna take me where I want
You know sooner or later, my mind will start to go
When music about nothing takes hold
When music about nothing takes hold
When music about nothing takes hold
When music about nothing takes hold
