Fever Dreams

One cannot always live in the palaces and state apartments of language,
but we can refuse to spend our days in searching for its vilest slums.
--William Watson

While taking a nap at work I thought of a little line or two I would use to write a little something... but this was seconds before falling into shallow sleep for a few minutes so it is now lost to the recesses of my subconcious mind. This reminds me of a line I spewed in a rare bout of eloquence while chatting with my friend Das Vassen, the line in question actually caught his eye so he actually uses it as a quote... I am quite flattered, I must say! "Like dreams that fade the more you try to recall them" is what I believe I said... Dreams...

I have a lovely case of pharingitis! It took a week of expensive meds and rest for it to develop into an infection... I should've let it be and we would've arrived at the same damn spot in just as long or less... oh well. Doc gave me some antibiotics and antihistaminics. This should pan out well.

Iron Maiden gig tomorrow. I can't seem to muster any excitement for it, but I'll go anyways, though I will miss sing out the songs along with the band.

Oh! It also appears to be Dr. Seuss's Birthday, today.

Some more lyrics for songs that inspire and/or touch me.

Bah!


Skid Row - Into Another


Slowly I heal the love that's found its way
Onto another path in times of change
Crossing a bridge unknown
Hoping our strength will hold
Should they both let go then let me lay
.....Let me lay

(Chorus)
Show me a sign
To a light that shines
One direction into another
Sheltered peace of mind

Somewhere I lost a piece of memory
Somehow I know my legs will carry me
Searching for circles end
Hoping the wounds will mend
Should this scar, then it was meant to be



Interpol - The Scale

I have a sequin for an eye
Pick a rose and hide my face
This is the bandit's life
It comes and goes and then's the breaks
Under a molten sky, beyond the road, we lie in wait
You think they know us now?
Wait 'til the stars come out
You'll see that

Well, I made you and now I take you back
It's too late but today I can define the lack
I made you and now I take you back

Sun, you sleep in clouds of fire
That's all and that's right
My sun, you sleep in clouds of fire
That's all and that's right

I can still feel it when you lie
Pick a rose just to hide my face
Well, if there's something I should know
I seek no science when there is no shape
Under a molten sky, let the days collide
Well, I made you and now I take you back

Sun, you sleep in clouds of fire
That's all and that's right
My sun, you sleep in clouds of fire
That's all and that's right
