siren song
today i feel as though i could have written this song myself:"fading when you look away, like dusk of the dying day/ drifting away now, like white from your clouds/ atrophy and entropy, decaying of this side of me/ not to be seen again :: now hate runs so deep, because mirrors don't deceive/ and the glass is so tempting for pain's relief/ nothing hurts worse than shards of shattered memories/ and the bitter sweet taste to the tears they leave :: so i'll cry it out in ink and hide it away/ but somewhere deep inside, i hope you find my hiding place :: as for today, no tears i'll let you see from me, not from me/ torch these thoughts, wear my smiles, i have people to please/ wear my smiles, wearing out, i have people to please" -- december disillusion
what was going through peter's head when he wrote that, i can't say; but, i do know that it has that quality of greatness possessed by a song that you can hear and feel like the writer was reading your mind and singing back to you whatever was there. (you rock, pete.) but what is it with december not playing any shows in texas? i have to settle for listening to their old stuff on the demo or hearing bits and pieces online.... what's with that! man that sucks big time. i quit!
yeah.
emmylou harris rocks too, especially when she's singing "i'll fly away" on o brother where art thou. we should do it like that when we sing it at church -- it would rock so much harder than the way we do it now.
haha wow i am so tired.
i desperately need to go get some time with God before i go to the store to buy ice cream for homegroup tonight. i'm outta here -- i love you guys!
