Dzong architecture (from Tibetan རྫོང་, Wylie rDzong, sometimes written, Jong) is a distinctive type of fortress architecture found in the present and former Buddhist kingdoms of the Himalayas: Bhutan and Tibet. The architecture is massive in style with towering exterior walls surrounding a complex of courtyards, temples, administrative offices, and monks' accommodation.
Distinctive features include:
Dzongs serve as the religious, military, administrative, and social centers of their district. They are often the site of an annual tsechu or religious festival.
The rooms inside the dzong are typically allocated half to administrative function (such as the office of the penlop or governor), and half to religious function, primarily the temple and housing for monks. This division between administrative and religious functions reflects the idealized duality of power between the religious and administrative branches of government.
The territory of Tibet used to be divided into 53 prefecture districts also called Dzongs. There were two Dzongpöns for every Dzong - a lama (Tse-dung) and a layman. They were entrusted with both civil and military powers and are equal in all respects, though subordinate to the generals and the Chinese Amban in military matters, until the ambans' expulsion following the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912. Today, 71 counties in Tibet Autonomous Region are rendered as "Dzongs" in the Tibetan language.
We'll lay the maps like tiles on the floor rest our bodies where we want to explore maybe peru just me and you shouting from the top of the andes or just watch the raritan overflow*
Across the border into canada rock out with john k. in winnipeg or maybe take the train to Montreal or just watch the sun fall down in our backyard.
Maxwell standard grade capture every frame in moving motion picture collecting dust on the shelf remembering is nothing if you don't have the proof like a first kiss or watching movies on the apocalypse*
No more living in the past it will be hard but well try our best.
Lately safety is not an issue
There's more concern over questions left unanswered by
No compromise
I'll be alright
We'll never understand
Everything we had
But I'll try
Faulty wiring has left me fatigued
Can't seem to render situations laid before me
You cross my mind
From time to time
There's fear I can't explain
Since you went away
Is that an earthquake in a brown paperbag concealing a loneliness that will pass?*
Talking numbers and telling drunken jokes and in the morning forget that we spoke.
Giving titles and taking them back are there friends who communicate like that?
Coding words and mixing signals lusting human contact.
Open the door
Let a little warmth out
I can see my breath
And my ankles feel like they're going to collapse
From all the stairs that I've been walking up and down
Trying to find you, but I never do
But now it's back to paperwork and fixing the copier
I don't have school tonight
So I think I'll be drinking alone to some Replacements
songs
Don't tell a soul
I'd be pleased to meet me too, but I'm all shook down
Under the influence of artists not looking for change
The timing and structure will all resolve and sound the
If it takes hours then that means miles and that's longer than I want to spend with you at least put the windows down I'll try to fall asleep.
This musics boring can't we find a happy medium put &serenading; on and turn the speakers up.
Wish on stars that you can't see through this fog one more state and I swear I'll be gone. When does the sun rise?
Eight more hours?
That's not even close.
I'm taking shifts switching lanes just to keep up.
I wish things were better here right now
It's snowing in April, and you're on the east coast
And I'm still alone
And forgetting the sounds of your voices
And the way things used to be
We're separated by terminals and eight hundred mile long phone calls
Do you even care?
Just give me your excuses
Are you visiting soon?
I've got so much to tell you about the people you'll never meet
And how much they mean to me
And the impact that they've had
And when you see me, you'll think I've changed
That's right, I am no longer afraid to live my life
That's right, I am no longer afraid to live my life
From Rockford to Ann Arbor, I am mending
(That's right, I am no longer afraid to live my life)
From Rockford to Ann Arbor, I am mending
(That's right, I am no longer afraid to live my life)
From Rockford to Ann Arbor, I am mending
(That's right, I am no longer afraid to live my life)
From Rockford to Ann Arbor, I am mending
Meet me by the swings
We can kiss the ground with the tips of our feet
Rock back and forth like the waves hit the shore
We can feel the sand retreat over our toes
And I'll sing you to sleep if you dream about me
If you dream about me
If you dream about me
I'll sing you to sleep if you dream about me
If you dream about me
If you dream about me
And I'll run outside, try to catch my breath
Screen door slams, hands in my pockets
(And I'll sing you to sleep if you dream about me)
My eyes on the sky
(If you dream about me)
The stars are beautiful tonight
(If you dream about me)
The stars are beautiful tonight
(If you dream about me)
I'll run outside, try to catch my breath
I'll run outside, try to catch my breath
Screen door slams, hands in my pockets
(And I'll sing you to sleep if you dream about me)
My eyes on the sky
(If you dream about me)
The stars are beautiful tonight
(If you dream about me)
Screen door slams, hands in my pockets
(And I'll sing you to sleep if you dream about me)
My eyes on the sky
(If you dream about me)
The stars are beautiful tonight
(If you dream about me)
I'll run outside, try to catch my breath
Screen door slams, hands in my pockets
(And I'll sing you to sleep if you dream about me)
My eyes on the sky
(If you dream about me)
The stars are beautiful tonight
(If you dream about me)
I'll run outside, try to catch my breath
Screen door slams, hands in my pockets
(And I'll sing you to sleep if you dream about me)
My eyes on the sky
(If you dream about me)
The stars are beautiful tonight
(If you dream about me)
I'll run outside, try to catch my breath
Screen door slams, hands in my pockets
(And I'll sing you to sleep if you dream about me)
My eyes on the sky
(If you dream about me)
The stars are beautiful tonight
You were made for the city
Taking photos, writing poetry about boulevards
That cut straight through the avenues like knives
And the people just like you
Crooked teeth and arching backs
Gaping mouths on the set
If it were up to me
You never would have left
You and flickering lights are the only storms I see
With so much potential etched on your skin
Crooked and arching backs
Gaping mouths on the set
If it were up to me
You never would have left
Stay here with me
Do you think you'll ever know
I need you here with me
How it feels to let them go?
Stay here with me
Do you think you'll ever know
I need you here with me
It's unfortunate
You left me to recount words undocumented
The way they were meant will never be
Seen as heartfelt and complimentary
Because what I heard was honestly the most beautiful things
And I'd rather forget than ever meet
The expectations you have of me
It must be the phrasing
Or how I articulate my words
That really pisses you off
But at least I acknowledge all my faults
And I'll stay in midwest states for a while
And I'll have to prove myself to all of you
And I'll stay in midwest states for a while
i’ve got these songs to remind me that i’m not coming
home to you. i’ve got my foot on the pavement, write all
my letters in blue. i hope you’ll choose what’s best for
you. because i am listless, i am overwhelmed. bad at
making decisions, i know you can tell. our conversations
were always cut short, too tired to even care at all.
i’ve got these songs to remind me of setting suns and
awkward moons. i think you’ve got more problems than most
of the people i talk to. i gave you all i had, you never
chose to understand that there were promises worth
keeping. a trust we’ll never have again. well i’ve been
trying hard these past few days, and i know you can’t say
take the door off its hinges find the nails behind the
clock run around the house until everyone wakes up. the
thermostat is on so turn the dial off wearing layers
Onslaught of feelings
My head hits the ceiling
Must be from standing up so tall
I'll hold my breath until I fall
Rearrange, re-orchestrate the feelings that you bought
You got me, but I don't think I got you
Ghosts play their part
Dance over graves
Just don't look at me the same
Because I can't always change
Stop making sense
The stories were true
I am nothing without you
I can't control these legs
I think I'll let them flail
And black out on the corner of Milwaukee
Where the cross streets tend to blur with all the other words
I thought I could make the transfer, but nothing ever came
There are six different paths I can take
Pull my shoulders back and hear them ache
Pull back as far as I can
I wrote a record to highlight you in song
By the time I was done, it was fall
The trees have lost their leaves
They look like skeletons
With piles on the on the ground from all their broken bones
The twenty minute drive felt more like twenty-four
And I can't shake the feeling of Somerset anymore
Stayed up late to reevaluate the meanings
See where I went wrong
Pass the cemetery
Get on the highway right by your house
It's the dead things that haunt me
i came here to say i miss you and want to kiss you right
where you stand. and i want to hold you until the
blankets fall off the bed. and i thought that you were
joking when you said that this was the end and i thought
i heard you laughing when you said that this was the end.
i came here with the courage of a thousand tiny birds but
This canvas manifests expressions that last for hours
Through visions transcribed in vivid colors
The lines the weight the strokes we make are flawed is
that so wrong?
