"Welcome to the inner -most thoughts of Lyndsey Elizabeth Runyan. Take a seat on the proverbial cloud and bask in the ideas and tangents, which my brain has journeyed through. Fell free to disagree, thoughts are what the world the world are made of, but dont forget to listen beacause without an ear there is no place for the dreams of the universe to reast their feet and wings and reenergized for yet another timeless flight....." -ccr

I don't know --god's country
this country is too large
and whoever's in charge up there
had better take the elevator down
and put more than change in our cup
or else we
are coming
up --coming up
seems like everyone's an actor
or an actor's best friend
i wonder what was wrong to begin with
that they should all have to pretend --anticipate
and if there's anything i've learned all these years on my own
it's how to find my own way there
and how to find my own way back home --anticipate
i wonder what you look like under your t-shirt
i wonder what you sound like
when you're not wearing words --work your way out
i build each one of my songs out of glass
so you could see me inside them i suppose
or you could just leave the image of me
in the background i guess
and watch your own reflection superimposed. --overlap
so why do i feel like something has been rearranged
you know, taken out of context
i must seem so strange --firedoor
someone's got to be interested in how i feel

I just sing my goofy songs about my goofy little life.
I mean, I’m the kinda gal people pat on the head.
i speak, without reservation, from what i know and who i am. i do so with the understanding that all people should have the right to offer their voice to the chorus whether the result is harmony or dissonance. the worldsong is a colorless dirge without the differences that distiguish us, and it is that difference which
should be celebrated not condemned. should any part of my music offend you, please do not close your ears to it. just take what you can use and go on.
If you're not angry about something, then you don't care enough. Because there's
so much injustice.
"we got egos like hairdos
they're different everyday
depending on how we slept the night before
depending on the demons that are at our door --egos like hairdos

and I don't hink that I'm better than you, but I don't think that I'm worse. Women learn to be women & men learn to be men
and I don't blame it all on you but I don't want to be your friend."
"When I say you sucked my brain out the English translation is 'I am in love with you' and it is no fun."
"If I'm gonna go down I'm gonna do it with style. You won't hear me surrender, you won't hear me confess 'cause you've left me with nothing but I've worked with less."
"I am singing now because my tearducts are too tired and my brain is disconnected but my heart is wired."
"Love is a piano falling from a four-story window and being in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"Take me home. Take me home and leave me there. Think I'm gonna cry, don't know why. Think I'm gonna sing myself a lullabye. Feel free to listen. Feel free to stare."
"Life is like a sleazy stranger who looks vaguely familiar flirting with a bimbo named disaster at the end of the bar."
"You rush in so hard and make it so I can't breathe."

To taste the hot throbbing

and dont compare or compete
everybody will respect you. -the book of tao

In complete darkness we are all the same. It is our 'knowledge' and 'wisdom' that separates us.
What doesnt destroy us, makes us stronger. Climb higher, climb for yr goal in the sky. You aim for the stars.
Refuse to be anyone else
descend you should be proud
allow yourself to hold and then to be held
pull the sheet around yourself
do no assume an ending
Rooted in the earth, yet born to soar, the struggle between matter and spirit is endless.
HEAR WITH YR HEART WHAT YOU MIND REFUSES TO LISTEN TO.

I will choose what enters me, what flesh becomes my flesh. Without choice no politics, no ethics lives. I am not your corn field, not your uranium mine, not your cow for milking. YOu may not use me as your factory. Priest and legislators do not hold shares in my womb or my mind. This is my body. If I give it to you, I want it back. My life is a non-neogotiable demand.
-Marge Piercy
