Ensuing - naught but life
Security comes unexpectedly. I knew there was more to come from this and knew I could not lose it. I know I shall be a better person for this relationship. I now know that life is much more beautiful today than the lost existences of my nights torments. I can see that you are greater than I could have first thought. Against my paranoid judgements I shall live victoriously and life shall ensue in glorious beauty.
Look around and see life evoke the truest beauty.
Look beyond the pain and trials and see that life means an opportunity to see wonder.

Farewell to all now- just in case. I don't want to miss saying goodbye
There is only one reason why I want this year at an end. I am restless. I need to escape before I relapse.
I hope you all go better than I. I will fall and fail...

An enigmatic gauze misplaced upon this seemingly perfect world- I don't want to miss beauty
When I truly realised that there was no control in this life things became much clearer. When I realised that everything in the past and present must be accepted, it is only the future one can change, things became much easier to handle. But when I realised that at any moment I could lose the greatest future I could potentially have- the fog rolled in and my foot slipped on the crevasse.
Thankfully- Beauty lies in every corner comforting, accepting you and all your mistakes

But who defines what is good and right?
There was a time I felt I knew the answer to this question, but here and now I find myself sifting through this archive of memories and thoughts in order to once again rehabilitate myself with the answer. Isn't it fascinating how one can be confidant in their beliefs at one time, and then, through lack of focus and development, one can find themselves needing to reinstate the answer- to remember what it was one believes- and to begin again in this small fragment of their path.

In Gods Hands Rest In Peace - Debbie Thake
Occasionally in your life, you'll meet those people who stand out. You might not get to know them very well, you might not ever have a conversation with them. You might just observe them and see them shine. But when those occassions occur, it will never be forgotten. It is those people who leave a legacy; even if a silent one. A great impact on everyones life, Debbie is one to remember. In Gods hands Rest in Peace. Your witness to us is eternal.

Eddie The Head - The joke behind the name
Eddie was born with no body and no arms and no legs. Just a head. But despite this slight birth defect his parents loved him very much. So on his sixteenth birthday they run into a doctor that says "Hey, I can give Eddie a body"... so the parents are going totally nuts because finally their kid can have a body and be like other normal people. They go home and are really excited and say "Have we got a surprise for you. It's the best present ever!" and Eddie says "Oh, no, not another fucking hat!"

To wish for such a connection to the old world.. the real world..
For my Extension English girls, this is great for a retreat from the global text:
Tell me about the Forest You once called home Dead Can Dance
Farewell now my sister Up ahead there lies your road And your conscience walks beside you It's the best friend you will ever know And the past is now your future It bears witness to your soul Make sure that the love you offer up Does not fall on barren soil.
For the wind cries of late In the whispering grass. Our way of life is held In the spinning wheels of chance.
I believe in the ways of an older law When we used to dance to a different drum And we are changing are ways Yes we are taking on different roads Tell me more about the forest That you once called home.
For the wind cries of late In the whispering leaves And the sun will turn to waste The heavens we build above.
Father teach your children To treat our mother well If we give her back her diamonds She will offer up her pearl.
But I'm not bitter no I'm surviving To face the world, to raise the future. So why don't you tell me, come on and tell me About the world you left behind. Come on and tell me.

- Placebo - Commercial for Levi - Drunk on immorality, valium and cherry wine.. You're gonna blow your mind.. I understand the fascination.. but if you dont change your situation you'll die.. Please don't die
Mad World
Tears for Fears
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places Worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere Going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression No expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow No tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which iīm dying Are the best iīve ever had I find it hard to tell you īcause I find it hard to take When people run in circles Itīs a very very Mad world Mad world Mad world Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy birthday Happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should Sit and listen Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me No one knew me
Now the teacher tells me whatīs my lesson Look right through me Look right through me
And I find it kind of funny...

Thinking of You
A Perfect Circle
Lying all alone and restless unable to lose this image Sleepless unable to focus on anything but your surrender Tuggin a rhythm to the vision that's in my head Tuggin a beat to the sight of you lying So delighted with a new understanding Something about a little evil that makes that unmistakable noise I was hearing Unmistakable sound I know so well Spent and sighing with that look in your eye Spent and sighing with a look on your face like Sweet revelation sweet surrender Thinking of you thinking of you Sweet revelation sweet surrendering
Subtlety became an art for me on this site.. All the memories, all the torments, the past..

Here lies the beginning of Death's reign...
Running circles around a shelter made of lead. 'Tis poison you know small child... '
And the one who warned is dead.
A castle made of stibnite is up there, and dear Hector cowers upon its lair..
'Would he not die?' asked the child of lies
Out upon the floor rolled dear Hectors eyes.
'That child has seen much death' said his mother under her breath..
'I heard that' turned the child.. and it seems he never cries..
As his mother choked and dies.
'Doctor what am I to do? He scares me so and he isnt yet a youth..
He will grow worse over time it is assured', His father said without a single clause
And the doctor never responded.
The boy it seems was at the door, watching the harlot rape the whore
Overhearing he turned and shed the first tear from his "abnormal" head
'Dear father' he said 'Please dont cry'
But dear father was no more, he lay rotting at the depths of his core,
and the tear-stained cheek ran bloody red as the child witnessed another's hideous end
Here lies the beginning of Death's reign...
