Listening to: Evanescence - Going Under
Feeling: abnormal
...and what's this, you ask? The Watch Keeper's Whining of Blackened Sands...
What's up with this,
For as you're weeping,
I look out the window,
And see the rain come, falling.
Then I'll sit alone
In my room, I'm sleeping,
You can't see my soul,
That quiets as I wake.
Can't you feel it coming?
This I ask myself
Sitting on my bed
Listening to the storm.
Now my foot is tapping
Out the happy tune
Most would call it morbid
But yet again, they're tainted.
Do they see the answers
How I wish I could
Yet maybe that's not mine
A path made for another
Let them go and follow
Drenched now by the downpour
I'll obey the masses
But only through my body
I don't have to change
Or be who I don't wanna
I don't have to talk like you
My thoughts, a little different.
I can hear a rapping
If I listen in
Now I hear it stopping
Stopping once again
This won't have to make sense
When it's not for you
I don't have to be
What I don't want to.
Will's a funny thing though
Blowing in the breeze
Changing and so fickle
Like time that never changes
Iridescent Omens
Ever faded Light
Synonymous Rhapsodies
Persecuted Flight
Does it really matter
If I know what to do
Does it really count
If I never knew you
Nothing's making sense
Yet many things do
And now I'm seeing this again
Cliché deja vu.
Take me as you want me
Because I know you don't
And hell, if you do, dear
Nothing comes for free
I help you, you help me
Let us cry and let us sing
Praise the damned and damn the praised
It's just a day in a stupid game
I'm just random, I'm fifteen
I've not seen a lot of things
I go to school, and then come home
I'm not worth a wonderous throne
But if my friend were e'er in need
I'd try to help them best I could
Not that it would be much help
Saying I'm a mortal
I could never have the chance
To lift you off the ground
I would never have a shot
Just due to what I am
What is up with this grandeur
Everyone is going on about
Why is everyone so sad
They're just charging into war
Can't the soldiers see their fate
Maidens in towers cry for them
Hypocricy, a common taint
Maybe I've got this in me
Does it matter what we are
Chickens with no heads soon will die
Damn it, where is there to go
Amongst a booming rock song?
Can I just wake up now
To go back to where everything is good
Then I can go back to sleep
And help you like I should
You don't understand me
I don't comprehend you
Can't really say that I care now
Won't let me hold my head up higher
How can I be proud of this?
When can I just clean this up:
Rob my self of me
To wipe my whole slate clean
So what's another day of raping
Lying here in silence
As society climbs atop
Leaving my screams in dust
That was such a time ago
But gosh, it's still here
I say I can't take it anymore
Though how am I still here
And now it's rumbling, dum dum dum
Round and round the sounds they go
Grumbling, stumbling, angrily
It's all the distant noise
Can't I go back to the truth
Get away from all of this
This isn't me and it's not you
No one's gonna help us
I know the soldiers are now shooting
You run with me now
Grab my arm as this is the first time
I see your soul through terror of your eyes
Oh save them, Sire,
I would say,
But the wretched king wouldn't hear
This is not his way
I'm unclear, but so are you
When you look deep inside
Away from where they take from you
Every day and night
Language already twists your soul
To their beck and call
This I pray we can undo
Why am I so senseless?
And there were two men,
The younger said
Look what we have
A little child
The older now,
He furrowed his brow
Chuckling once,
Caring not.
Younger took the child
Up in arms and carried her
Wounded by blade, shielding with cloak now
Oh, imagine that.
Now the hands of time are spinning
On the clock of old
"Dong!" it claims a proclaimation
Over all our heads.
This time sands are sliding so
Ancient cities turn to dust
Got to get out of hear quick
One of them's corrupt
So laugh at me, I'll laugh at you
Raise my glass of wine and say
It was in your sacred book
Read it there and weep!
What does this look like, do I care?
I guess I do more than I appear
But take me as you will and see
I don't know where this will end
Somehow it doesn't look complete
If it even e'er began
Oh well, doesn't matter now.
Back tomorrow and the next!
Depression does things to a soul
So do shadows and no peace of mind
So do chains and, from the rest
An angry thirst that can't be quenched
So drink up this wretched life
Let the boa take your air
We're all equal here they say
Yet that's just a stupid lie
Guess I'll go to see tomorrow
If tomorrow ever comes
That's bullshit and you all know it
It's not that hard to open your eyes
Course I ain't though, so why should you
Take your time, you've got so little
Put the bullet in my head
I'll take a couple days of yours
I won't lose a single bit
The hatred's burning my entire being
It takes my head, my heart, my soul,
My flesh somehow intact.
Tears like oil igniting it
"Oh how cute, a little poem,
Alive in angst, how typical,
She'll outgrow it;" the hell I will.
Once it takes all that I have
Until I am one of you
When I will have nothing left
But less sense than I have now
I'll either kill till I am stopped
Or break into a thousand pieces
Maybe I'll just cry til I drown
Where you cannot pull me out
How many times have people helped me
How many times have they helped you
Maybe that's why I hate what I am
Maybe that's why I can't stand you
Why care about what I can't reach
This isn't easy and niether am I
I give you the finger, you beat my hide
Hey you won, but at least I tried
For now I'll give a cynical laughter,
Please let me be amused while it lasts
You may cry when my heart is black
But that'll just be from what you were taught
You'll just watch for now with a sad face
Say I'll heal and get on with your own pace
Smile and give me some bullshit to hear
But yet deep down it's not sincere
Maybe my brown eyes will blacken one day
'Til there won't be no more pain
No more throwing up inside
My messed up, screaming, choking mind
And you know what? This here IS me
What I hid now all can see
In one little entry made by the damned
To be forgotten in morning sands.
Transparent Torrent
-And what a fitting entry for the fitting awkward day.
