Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True Love behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen...

..."I want to forget mistakes they've helped me make
It's better to be broken than to break"...

...I can see a frozen point in time
That is easy to retrace
Light and darkness are both intertwined
The elements are in their place...

sick of this mind and the games it plays
mental enemies want to push me back again
here they come running wanting me up on that
tree crucified (wait a minute)

whatever words they say (me who said it)
whomever they betray (me who did it)
whenever they're awake it makes me die...

...stay with me, please don't go
if you want to be alone
stay with me, please

i don't have much else to say (unlikely)
i'd rather you go away (unlikely)
i don't need something from you (unlikely)
though some say i will heal over time, it
doesn't seem too likely
it seems unlikely

Mutual sight, Mutual sound
Mutual struggle, for shared ground
It's safe, to say, they'll try to take from me
I'm just another one for them to break down

Steeped in denial, the daily grind
Dream of a world for me and my kind
It's safe in the alternative reality
So stick your standards where the sun doesn't shine...

...Welcome to a world where the air I breathe is mine
There's nothing to overwhelm me and nothing to cloud my mind
Be anyone, do anything I'd ever want to try
Time doesn't exist here

Slip into a world where the air I breathe is mine
There's nothing to overwhelm me and nothing to cloud my mind
Come with me into it and you know what you will find
Time doesn't exist here, I will never die...

...i hear the sound of a heart
from the shadow in the dark
waiting for the poison to hit its mark
(listen--my son) i see the darkness
surround the shape on the ground the
killer straight up and a body face
down (firstborn-last one) i hear the
din of the screams, sorrow in streams
the smell of farewell and gasoline
(listen--my son) i see a heart set free
and my legacy hear a voice from a
shadow that is beckoning me
(firstborn-last one)...

build them up-high and strong
so you'll never have to hurt too long
put them up-til they surround
and there's no real you left to be found
hold it up-high above no fear of hope or trust
or love...

..."even if you want--you can't hurt me now"
(this isn't easy to admit but i don't think i'm
believing it-i'm afraid this time)

I'm listening to a "new" band I discovered - it kind of embarasses me that I haven't known them before, since they've been around since the 70s. They're called The Fall and they make guitar-heavy music that explores rock music beyond the beaten track, and often enough off of the established notes

That aside, I've listened to a lot of Dead Can Dance lately. They're simply the most amazing (and I don't use that word lightly) musical project out there, if you ask me.

Do you have any links where I can sample some of their music?

There used to be a website which had a few very good unreleased tracks, but those are gone now. I guess the site they were on finally went down. So...sorry, no

If you can't tell by my signature, I've been listening to a lot of Blind guardian lately. They're a german metal band, and they sing a lot about Lord of the Rings and other Tolkien works. Besides that, they are very good with their instruments.

When Sorrow Sang by Blind Guardian.

Right now I'm listning to Led Zeppelin - Communication Breakdown... Well what can I say - It's Led Zeppelin Not all of the songs fall into taste but it's one of those I like listning to sometimes inbetween...

Help me if you can
Help me if you can
It's just that this, this is not the way I'm wired
So could you please,
Help me understand why
You've given in to all these
Reckless dark desires
You're lying to yourself again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the faultline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this. Why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess. I don't want to watch you.
Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die
Medicated, drama queen, picture perfect, numb belligerence
Narcissistic, drama queen, craving fame and all its decadence
Lying through your teeth again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the fautline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Go with this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, I don't wanna watch you...
Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die
They were right about you
They were right about you
Lying to my face again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it put it on the fautline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, come to this, come to this
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die
If you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere,
Do it somewhere far away from here

I've been listening to In Flames, a lot lately. Maybe you've heard of them Minque, they're from Sweden, though i think they're more popular in america.

Besides them i have been listening to Boston (Peace of Mind Rocks) and As I Lay Dying

I recently had my attention caught by Tom Waits. Apparently he's beeen around for quite some time, but he's pretty underground and doesn't get very much coverage. Even so I've found his work to be AMAZING.
At the moment I'm listening to "God's Away on Business"

Carry me home-Living End. Good old punk rock, I really dislike the new bands who call themselves punk like blind 182 but this is good old fast punk ROCK. Don't think their known much outside of NZ and Austrialia.
