Wallet

25-11-2005

I talked with the Wise Man about being sometimes left behind by those that I consider special.
He said to me:

"Loyalty is like a wallet... a tragedy when misplaced"

People Are Strange

24-11-2005

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

Rebirth

23-11-2005

"Here, in the Earth's heart, let me be reborn. Let my soul be ourified. Le me bend myself to this world not unwillingly as I once was... but by choice. I choose this!"

Stand By Me

21-11-2005

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me, so

Darling darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Ot the mountain
Should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me, and


Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me, oh stand by me

Out Of Balance

20-11-2005

"Solitude... I seek a perfect quietness though it is impossible to shut off the world I see collapsing around me...A world that has been knocked out of balance"

Hate

19-11-2005

The Wise Man says:

"Nothing brings people together so much as a common hatred"

In Between

18-11-2005

I am love, I am hate
I'm an atheist with faith
Vent my anger with a smile
I'm polite or obscene
Either whisper or I scream
I'm not quite what I seem
I'm somewhere in between

I am young in my old age
I am calm or in a rage
I'm your friend or enemy
A pacifist or at war
I am rich but I am poor
I'm all extremes
I'm nowhere in between

Wide awake
Or in a dream
Nowhere in between
Like the pulse of a machine
I'm driven to extremes

I feel the turmoil boil in me
I'm neither healthy nor diseased
I am all extremes
But I'm still in between

Say right or say wrong
Outcast yet I belong
I'm high or I'm dry
Say I am weak yet I am strong

In between
In between

I am my alter ego
I am subconsciously
In depth but also shallow
Or somewhere in between

Oh I know I am
Always first in line or last
I swim with sharks or drown with rats
I'll defend as I attack
My world and yours are not the same
I am in a different lane
I am not where I seem
But I'm somewhere in between

I seek revenge
As I forgive
I die to live - ah
Not afraid but scared to death
I don't fit in

In between - all extremes

Wild Beasts

17-11-2005

As I'm facing a complicated period regardings my job I talked with the Wise Man about my emplyers and their decisions. He said to me:

"Never expect wild beasts not to behave as wild beasts"

And I smiled...

Dream

17-11-2005

"I have ha a dream in which a voice shares with me a recurring message. It says. "Do not look away from my singular beauty for I will open myself to you my innermost secrets and give to you what I hold within" And as the dream changes the voice remains the same, mantralike. Followed by another metamorphosis and again the words. The words are so deceptive, beauty and pain...images that haunt me...even in my waking world"

Frágil

15-11-2005

Põe-me o braço no ombro
Eu preciso de alguém
Dou-me com toda a gente
Não me dou a ninguém
Frágil
Sinto-me frágil

Faz-me um sinal qualquer
Se me vires falar demais
Eu às vezes embarco
Em conversas banais
Frágil
Sinto-me frágil

Frágil
Esta noite estou tão frágil
Frágil
Já nem consigo ser ágil

Está a saber-me mal
Este Whisky de malte
Adorava estar "in"
Mas estou-me a sentir "out"
Frágil
Sinto-me frágil

Acompanha-me a casa
Já não aguento mais
Deposita na cama
Os meus restos mortais
Frágil
Sinto-me frágil

Frágil
Esta noite estou tão frágil
Frágil
Já nem consigo ser ágil

Bad Solutions

14-11-2005

The Wise Man said to me:

"Many are the solutions that worsen that which they would solve"

Better Times

13-11-2005

"Well viewers, after all that excitement, I'm afraid It's time to say goodbye. Does this mean we gotta sing that stinkin song again? We get knocked down, but we get up again, there ain't nothing that'll keep us down. We get knoked down. But we get up again. Gotta love this crazy town. He drinks a lager drink, he drinks a cider drink. I'll drink any drink if I could find one in this two bit town. We sing the songs that remind us of the better times. Until the next time, viewer. I'll leave you with the words of the great Casey Mason...

"Keep reachin' for the sun""

Dream On

12-11-2005

every time that I look in the mirror
all these lines on my face getting clearer
the past is gone
it went by like dusk to dawn
isn't that the way
everybody's got their dues in life to pay

yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
you got to lose to know how to win

half my life's in books' written pages
live and learn from fools and from sages
you know it's true
all the things come back to you

sing with me, sing for the years
sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
sing with me, if it's just for today
maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

dream on, dream on, dream on,
dream yourself a dream come true
dream on, dream on, dream on,
and dream until your dream comes true

Aerosmith

All Is Well

11-11-2005

"All is well. All is well. Shinning One, rejoice. All is well. Witness, see this miravle. Listener, hear the song that sings you. Knower, remember where you've been and where you shall be. Sing The Singularity. You are a dream. And the dreamer has awakened! Holy, holy, holy is the dream. Holy, holy, holy is the dreamer. All is well."

About To Die

10-11-2005

"Many people hate me, Just as I, in turn hated my father, my friends, my associatives. Just as I hated myself. I loved my wife and my son. My wife is dead. My son is gone. I'm about to die"

Child In Time

09-11-2005

Sweet child in time you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head
And wait for the ricochet

Deep Purple


(wait for the ricochet...it's coming...)

Expectations

09-11-2005

The Wise Man Said to me

"There is a confort to the expected, however bleak it may be"

Redemption

07-11-2005

"If madness is the province of men alone, then how can I explain my own insanity? I am no different from them. I forgot my better nature and became a monster's puppet. I have caused great harm. But It's not too late. I will redeem myself"

Master Of The Wind

06-11-2005

In the silence of the darkness when all are fast asleep
I live inside a dream calling to your spirit
As a sail calls the wind, hear the angels sing

Far beyond the sun across the western sky
Reach into the blackness find a silver line
In a voice I whisper a candle in the night
We'll carry all our dreams in a single beam of light

Close your eyes, look into the dream
Winds of change will winds of fortune bring

Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another one will end
Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the wind

Falling stars now light my way
My life was written on the wind
Clouds above, clouds below
High ascend the dreams within

When the wind fills the sky the clouds will move aside
And there will be the road to all our dreams
For any day that stings two better days it brings

Nothing is as bad as it seems
Close your eyes, look into the dream
Wins of change will winds of fortune bring

Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another one will end
Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the wind

Rest

05-10-2005

'm tired. The Wise Man felt that and said:

"Rest...for that you can start once again"

Malignant Force

04-11-2005

"There is a malignant force in the Universe. It isn't Death. Life can withstand Death. Life transcends Death. Nor does this evil resides in Nature. Nature is not the foundation. Nature is the movement, the interplay. Wind, fire, water: sound and fury signifying nothing."

Suicide Note Pt2

03-11-2005

Out of my mind,
gun up to the mouth
No pretension, execution, live and learn , rape and turn
Fret not family,
nor pre-judged army
This is for me,
and me only, cowards only
Try it

Don't you try to die, like me
It's livid and it's lies and makes graves
Graves descending down

It's not worth the time to try, to replenish a rotting life
I'll end the problem, facing nothing, fuck you off, fuck you all
Tortured history, addict of misery, this exposes me
for weakness is a magnet - watch me do it

Why would you help anyone who doesn't want it,
doesn't need it, doesn't want your shit advice
when a mind's made up to go ahead and die?
What's done is done and gone, so why cry?

Pantera

Suicide Note Pt1

03-11-2005

Cheap cocaine, a dry inhale, the pills that kill and take the pain away
Diet of life, shelter without, the face that cannot see inside yours and mine

When I'm hiding, when I need it,
it lets me breathe,
for our handle on this life, I don't believe
this time

Would you look at me now?
Can you tell I'm a man?
With these scars on my wrists
To prove I'll try again
Try to die again, try to live through this night
Try to die again.....

Forever fooling, free and using,sliding down the slide that breaks a will
Mothers angel, getting smarter, how smart are you to regress unfulfilled?
It's a damn shame, but who's to blame?

Pantera

Changes

01-11-2005

The Wise Man said to me when I exposed my sorrow about the changes in life:

"Nothing in this world ever truly changes"

Future Time

"And now a word, in uncouth rhyme, of what shall be in future time"

Black Nº One

30-10-2005

She's in love with herself.
She likes the dark.
On her milk white neck.
The Devil's mark.
It's all Hallows Eve.
The moon is full.
Will she trick or treat.
I bet she will.

She's got a date at midnight.
With Nosferatu.
Oh baby, Lilly Munster.
Ain't got nothing on you.
Well when I called her evil.
She just laughed.
And cast that spell on me.
Boo Bitch Craft.

Yeah you wanna go out 'cause it's raining and blowing.
You can't go out 'cause your roots are showing.
Dye em black.
Black no. 1

Little wolf skin boots.
And clove cigarettes.
An erotic funeral.
For witch she's dressed.
Her perfume smells like.
Burning leaves.
Everyday is Halloween.

Loving you was like loving the dead.

Loving you was like fucking the dead.


Type O' Negative

Beans

30-10-2005

The Wise Man said to me about the the things you take for granted in life:

"Never count your beans before they're catched"

The Real World

28-10-2005

Strange, the view from here
Words we spoke, forgotten at the time
Now replay in my mind
What went wrong, what was right
Looking back, I never was there for you
You didn't say, but I know it's true

I can't find the real world alone
Every time I think I've won
I hear your voice inside, questioning
Where have you gone
Can't you remember feeling so alone
You always had the anwer that I could not see

I can't find the real world
I can't find the real world
I can't find the real world alone
I can't find the real world
I can't find the real world
I can't find the real world alone

Who Are You?

25-10-2005

Ever since I saw you
I want to hold you
Like you were the one

It sees right through me
A bullet it comes and takes me
And I love you
I love you
I want you
but I fear you

Who are you ?
who are you?

Ever since I saw you
I want to hold you
Like you were the one

You feet rest on my shoes
I sing this song for you
Just to see you smile

And I love you
I love you
I love you
but I fear you

Who are you?
who are you?

For how long
How strong
do I still have to be?
How come
you mean so much to me?

For how long
How strong
do I still have to be?
How come
you mean so much to me?

And I love you
I love you
I want you
but I fear you

Who are you?

For how long
How strong
do I still have to be?
How come
you mean so much to me?

For how long
How strong
do I still have to be?

Who are you...?

Distant Friends

24-10-2005

I talked to the Wise Man about those friends always ready to help but we only see them when we most need them

The Wise Man said: "When a problem vanishes, so does the solver"

I Feel

23-10-2005

"He doesn't speak to me in words, But something moves between us. He wants me to understand. What she is, what she means. He reaches into my mind. To show me. And I feel. I know It's like a flood. It washes away everything...except love.
-I will die for her
-You must live for her"

2 A.M.

23-10-2005

I get in from work at 2 a.m. and sit down with beer
Turn on late night TV and then wonder why I'm here
It's meaningless and trivial and it washes over me
And once again I wonder is this all there is for me

Here I am again
Look at me again
Here I am Again
On my own
Trying hard to see
What there is for me
Here I am again
On my own

Life seems so pathetic I wish I could leave it all behind
This canvas chair, this bed, these walls that fall in on my mind
Hold on for something better
That just drags you through the dirt
Do you just let go or carry on and try to take the hurt

Here I am again
Look at me again
Here I am Again
On my own
Trying hard to see
What there is for me
Here I am again
On my own

Singularity

21-10-2005

"In the silent, starless void, he hears the universe breathe. The breath gives birth to thought. Thought gives birth to light. And yet before there was light or thought...or breath...there was...
Singularity"

Welcome To My Humble Home

20-10-2005

The Wise Man said to me:

"A truly fine host is rare to behold"

Fearing Nothin

19-10-2005

No need to say how wrong I was
By judging you
I suppose everything's all right now!
Try to put yourself in my shoes
It's not easy, isn't it (don't you think?)

Ohh...why you still love me?
I bet there's someone better
Always by myself
Loving no one
Fearing nothing

Who knows the answer I need?

What do you want from me?
Can you tell me?
Please don't lie to me.
I need to be in control
No perfect partner or perfect friend
I'm just who I am
Please don't leave me
Every soul search someone
Can't you see? I'm no better
Fearing nothing

Who knows the answer I need?
(Every soul search someone)
Who knows the answer I need?
(Every soul search someone)
Who knows the answer I need?
(Every soul search someone)

Who knows the answer...?

Chequers

Where destiny with men for pieces plays:
Hither and thither moves and mates, and slays,
And one by one back in the closet lays"

The Wise Man told me about my recent isolation because of my troubles

"It is good to see a friendly face in unfriendly times"

F$%k Yourself

16-10-2005

Fuck yourself with a rubber hose
Stick it in your mouth and down your throat
Up your nose and in your heinie hole
I don't care where it goes
And it don't matter if you're straight or gay
You should fuck yourself anyway
Now, you don't have to listen to a word I say
But I know you, you'll be humpin' away
Fuck yourself with your neighbor's nose
If you can't use that, use a 10-foot pole
Stick it up your ass and go for a stroll
Everyone will know you've been to this show
If you can't take, eat my stool
Masturbate with some crazy glue
I don't care what you do
Fock yourself with a garden tool
Fuck yourself with politics
Ahh they're full of fuckin' fuckin' shit
I mean you know we've been lied to ever since we were born
It's amazing that we've been getting fucked that long
Fuck yourself with the world wide web
Man you could ride that sucker right from your bed
You may even meet a Tom, Dick, Jane or Billy
Then grab onto your modem and fuck yourself silly
Fuck yourself with your heart and soul
Give it everything you got, hey I'm talkin' to you
If you can't even fuck yourself,
How ya gonna fuck somebody else?
Fuck yourself with my microphone
I'll give it to you later when we're all alone
We can turn it up loud
And see if you come, but
Don't get your jizz on my microphone
Fuck yourself with organized religion
Now that is some seriously sinnin' business
If the Lord sees their pathetic crimes
He'll be fuckin' them 'til the end of time
And can someone explain to me this racist crap
I know it isn't white, but it isn't black
And to all you people who only see things your way
Well, you can suck my dick and take all day
Fuck your nose with a pound of blow
Watch your money get up and go
but when you burnt your brain and you say
I don't know!
I hate to tell you but I told you so
Fuck yourself with this grunge rock noise
I mean, stuff those albums in your groin
They come down on me because I know how to play -
Hey... fuck you!
Fuck yourself with a copy of Rolling Stone
Or are they too holy for your holiest of holes
Now those people think they're holier than Moses
But aren't they just a bunch of fuckin' posers
Fuck yourself with your mother's jewelry
I won't tell, I ain't a stooly
If you pounce hard enough you'll cough up a ruby
Your blood will be rich and so will your doodie
Fuck yourself with the latest fashion
With your spikes and your hair and those cute little buttons
And if you happen to have some leather and lace
Fuck yourself 'til you're blue in the face
Fuck yourself with your income tax
They're fucking you and that's a fact
Before you know it your money's all spent
And you've just been fucked by the government
Fuck yourself with your lawyer friend
You're the only one that's getting fucked in the end
I have been so fucked by legal bills
that my asshole is the size of Beverly Hills
Fuck yourself with your full-length sweater
With your minks and your diamonds and your Irish Setter
With your cash and your trash and your sinks and your drinks
Just fuck yourself 'til you can't even think
Those of you who enjoy this song
thank you thank you, I love you
Let's get it on
But for those of you who are totally outraged
Fuck yourself with your face

"Mama said never pray to Baron Samedi, 'cause the God of Death always listens. I ask for death...Let it come.Let it come"

Martyr

14-10-2005

The Wise Man told me once about my deathwish of being a martyr:

"Let he who's more able, deal with a foe"

Megalomania

13-10-2005

I hide myself inside the shadows of shame
The silent symphonies were playing their game
My body echoed to the dreams of my soul
This god is something that I could not control
Where can I run to now?
The joke is on me
No sympathizing god is insanity, yeah
Why don't you just get out of my life, yeah?
Why don't you just get out of my life now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?
Obsessed with fantasy, possessed with my schemes
I mixed reality with pseudogod dreams
The ghost of violence was something I seen
I sold my soul to be the human obscene
How could it poison me?
The dream of my soul
How did my fantasies take complete control, yeah?
Why don't you just get out of my life, yeah?
Why don't you just get out of my life now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?
Well I feel something's taken me I don't know where
It's like a trip inside a separate mind
The ghost of tomorrow from my favorite dream
Is telling me to leave it all behind
Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow
Got to get to happiness, want no more of sorrow
How I lied, went to hide
How I tried to get away from you now
Am I right if I fight?
That I might just get away from you now
Sting me!
Well I feel something's giving me the chance to return
It's giving me the chance of saving my soul
Beating the demigod, I'm fading away
I'm going backwards but I'm in control
Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow
Getting back to sanity, providence of sorrow
Was it wise to disguise
How I tried to get away from you now
Is there a way that I could pay
Or is it true I have to stay with you now?
How I lied, went to hide
How I tried to get away from you now
Am I right if I fight?
That I might just get away from you now
Suck me!
I'm really digging schizophrenia the best of the earth
I've seized my soul in the fires of hell
Peace of mind eluded me, but now it's all mine
I simply try, but he wants me to fail
Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow
Now I've found my happiness, providence of sorrow
No more lies, I got wise
I despise the way I worshipped you yeah
Now I'm free, can't you see
And now instead I won't be led by you now
Free!

"Only truth is constant! Only faith endures! And only love can save them...but where can love be found?"

Query

The Wise Man asked me:

"What queries do simple minds find within life?

Rain

10-10-2005

Let it rain a day, a week, a year
Let it rain a thousand years a day
That's the divine answer to all the shed tears
That's the cyclic Flood well known by those who know
One drop for every broken dream
and one for every conceived plan
Our seeds sown larger
Our roots will go deeper
Our trees will grow higher and now we wait the rain
Let cry the skies to cleanse the souls
Let fall the seas to wash the pain away
That's the final run to the New Age
That's the first step beyond the threshold of this world
One drop for every broken dream
and one for every conceived plan
Our seeds sown larger
Our roots will go deeper
Our trees will grow higher and now we call the rain
Here rings a warning
A day of wrath for all the days of war
A storm of fury
to calm the hunger left
Our seeds sown larger
Our roots will go deeper
Our trees will grow higher and now we bring the rain
Our seeds - larger
Our roots - deeper
Our trees - higher and we - stronger

20 things about me

1- I'm a chickenolic, I try tried to quit but I can't...no sorry, I never tried to quit

2- My favourite place to regain strength is near sea, river or being in the country side

3- Every year I get close to get a nervous breakdown

4- Can't get enough of the things that make me laugh, can't get enough of the things that make me cry

5- In 24 hours, 15 are spent listening to music

6- Nasty habit of dreaming awake

7- Strange ability to make people talk to me

8- $Unhealthy$ habbit of collecting stuff

9- Unhealty habbit to get attached to people that don't deserve it

10- Hate to be alone in the middle of a crowd, so I spend my time closed in my room

11- A little bit anti-social, shy, whatever you want to call it

12- Mixed feelings: Kinda misanthropic feeling about people (though I changin' that point, gaining hope in mankind) but simply love the friends that I have, and being real well about talking with other people and knowing different points of view. In fact the friends that I have are my best quality.

13- Hate bugs! Kinda Bugophobic

14- I have too many projects for the lazy bastard that I am, need to get more 12 hours per day.

15- Can't stand people that lie to me. That was enough for me to break contact with people but if that is done with the reason to protect me or not hurting me it's easier to forgive, but if someone lies to me for stupid reasons, forget it (How can I trust in someone that lie to me for insipid reasons, or better for no reason?)

16- Self esteem problems (guess why)

17- Think too much, my brain can't be turned off, which it uses to exaust me often (Insomniac)

18- Like to feel physical exaustion, speacially in the rain

19- Saddest day of the year, my birth day (second day of winter's solstice)

20- Urge need to evolve, to feel and possess knowledge, to be perfect, to be perfect to others, to give and to gain a self conscioussness that permits me to give peace to others and to my self. It's a work in progress, just like life itself

Since I've Been Loving You

08-10-2005

Working from seven to eleven every night,
It really makes life a drag, I don't think that's right.
I've really, really been the best of fools, I did what I could.
'Cause I love you, baby, How I love you, darling, How I love you, baby,
How I love you, girl, little girl.
But baby, Since I've Been Loving You. I'm about to lose my worried mind, oh, yeah.

Everybody trying to tell me that you didn't mean me no good.
I've been trying, Lord, let me tell you, Let me tell you I really did the best I could.
I've been working from seven to eleven every night, I said It kinda makes my life a drag.
Lord, that ain't right...
Since I've Been Loving You, I'm about to lose my worried mind.

Said I've been crying, my tears they fell like rain,
Don't you hear, Don't you hear them falling,
Don't you hear, Don't you hear them falling.

Do you remember mama, when I knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me you didn't want me no more, yeah
I open my front door, hear my back door slam,
You must have one of them new fangled back door man.

I've been working from seven, seven, seven, to eleven every night, It kinda makes my life a drag...
Baby, Since I've Been Loving You, I'm about to lose, I'm about lose to my worried mind.

The Wise Man said to me about my sleepless nights:

"Do not try to sleep when your mind is awake"

A Door With No Key

05-10-2006

"There was a door ro which I found no key
There was a veil past which I could not see
Some little talk awhile of Me and Thee
There seemed - and then no more of Thee and Me"

Fell On Black Days

04-10-2005

Whatsoever I've feared has
Come to life
Whatsoever I've fought off
Became my life
Just when everyday
Seemed to greet
Me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
And now I'm doing time
Cause I fell on
Black days

Whomsoever I've cured
I've sickened now
Whomsoever I've cradled
I've put you down
I'm a search light soul
They say but I can't
See it in the night
I'm only faking
When I get it right
Cause I fell on
Black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate

So what you wanted to
See good has made you blind
And what you wanted to
Be yours has made it
Mine
So don't you lock up
Something that you
Wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No not tying

I sure don't
Mind a change
But I fell on black
Days
How would I know
That this could be
My fate

The Fall

04-10-2005

"Lucifer walked over to the place where Saraquael once stood, tried to find some remnant of the angelI had destroyed. But there was nothing to find. The he looked up at Me:
-That was not right. That was not just.
Perhaps Saraquael was the first to love, but Lucifer was the first to shed tears. I will never forget that."
