i was sitting in my booth
when i saw you walk on by
it reminded me of this girl
well acctually it reminded me of you
yes you
maybe because it was you
walking by on that side walk
just outside my booth
your hair is always so tight
it is always tied up to the top of your head
it wasn't always that way
i remember our sophmore year
we we're both new in school
it was nice to find a friend who was like me
you came from california and i came from chicago
and we came together on those cool fall nights
under the blankets in your front yard
well soon we fell apart
and the next thing i knew your hair was tied up tight
on the top of your head as you walk on by
but every now and then when no one is looking
you take your hair down and walk towards me
i give you a hug
and you give me your smile
this brings back those cool october nights
and this is what i will remember of you
as you walk on by

hey o

i'm doing super... backpacking pictures on the was .... have a to a go .... swimming...........! it's summer... only like...... 10 ... or nine... or somthing days untill i graduate.... dkfsdklf;ajdfjlas;dfjas
love mike

this place

i am sick of this place
i come back to it every day
five days a week

i cant stand the sight of your face
i thought that youd stayed pure all those days
and that thought is making me weak

you talk like you have kept your pace
but your bed is litered with sex and black lace
your breast cupped in his hand your thigh on his cheek

i know i know i shouldnt say
but i am the same way
and ill keep coming back for more

oh man ... went to crystal lake this weekend... don't want to be inside ever again
love mike

i'm falling
falling
falling
into the ground
when i hit
i break
my insides get soaked up by the earth
i make it moist and dark
i flow through her veins
and into her heart
her life source
and then i dry up
and become light
lighter than air
i start to lift out of the great pool of pieces just like me
i join friends up above
and repeat the processsssssssssssssssssssssssss
ooooo ooooo
oooo ooooo
ooo oooo
oo ooo
o oo
o o
oo oo
ooo ooo
ooooooooooo

fingers

fingers, originally uploaded by mikesiemens.

here is a picture of me in the hospital... when i cut off the tips of my fingers... luckily my grandma had a cameraand got there before they gave me like 5000000000cc's of morphine:the sweetest drug ever made by man

i opened a myspace account and got some of my songs on there .... they sound really crappy.... and off tempo... but i worked on them for a good hour lastnight.....
it's in the side bar.... right under a journey not taken too soon...
check it to the out!!!!!

dude

i sit in the back
i pick up your slack
i ace your test
and you just say
"dude... you are a poser... you say you don't care.... but i saw what you write"
and i always respond
"you'll never understand'
"why?!"
"because the way you feel about things is not the way that i feel about things"
"what the hell is that supposed to mean?!"
"you really want to know?"
"yes"
you're going to be pissed after you hear it..."
"no i promise i won't"
"this is what it means.... and i acctually wrote a song about it....'
i pull out my garcia and play the intro
in which, so far, you are not interested
and i open my mouth to sing these words
"you're all gonna die someday,
so why spread your love aimlessly,
you don't want to end up like me,
totally happy and carefree,
cause that's not what you wnat out of life
no that's not what you want out of life
a large car vast amounts of money and a fairly breasted wife
that's what you want out of life.....
so i quit
i quit this stupid game
you say you listen
but you don't hear what i say
old friend
you kicked my name around town
you spread bad rumors about me
but i heard every one you said"

and you sit back and tell me to go and deficate up a rope....
which really doesn't make any sense at all....

well if you're not i'll be afraid for the both of us....
don't you fear for the next time we meet....
that we might enjoy it....
that we might not want to leave again...
that we might relive the longest moments of our lives...
for me it was closing your car door and letting you drive away...
i mean.... i want to see you flutter by like a butterfly off into my light blue eyes....
but i fear that this time i won't be able to close your car door and walk inside.....

I speak in english
you speakin tongues
you say it's cryptic
i say that's dumb
but the riddles don't stop
they ripple and numb
....
This makes no sense... to keep talking this way .... sending unreadable signals to eachother.... it's true! we both know that we are the enemy.... we are the nuisance.... we are the ones responsible for our own demise....
.....
you know what i'm saying
you know how i speak
you know how to hear me
you now we are weak
....
so 'why' is my question.... and 'why' is the only way out, why did we come this far only to get tangled up in rhyme.... why does it break every bone in my body to hear your voice again... it doesn't drip onto.... it seeps right through....
.....
but when will you know
that words aren't enough
sometimes they just distract
from.... well.... more important things
.....
so here it is posed to you.... in daylight... in plain daylight.... it's something that we both don't understand .... and somthing that we both really don't want to talk about ...but it's weight is heavy ..... this is the question .... the last i might add............. why?
