Still
Neurotron | 31 January 2005, 11:26amTonight, memories nurture the pain
And still, black falls the rain
I fight hard, yet lose
As it was, so it still is
Strangely both better and worse
And still, regrettably,
That deep welt my heart doth stain
Words fail both you and I
A strange alchemy this,
That turns gold to stone
A conversion infernal
A strange promised land this,
Where springs deemed eternal
Are doomed to run dry
May the rivers you cry
One day shatter the stone
May the cracks bleed you dry
Of despair, like I have known
May the streaked cheeks shine
Like your eyes at my song
On this day,
May you be reborn.
Happy Birthday
Current Mood: Bye!
Current Music: Fade - Staind

I realy wish i understood the mood of the verses. Pretty confusing, but in a good way though

Jai, it is a sort of mood swing i guess; I realise that now when u mention it.
Starts with an expression of pain, moves to contemplations of why and how come, and ends on a mellow, sort of detached well-wishing. :-)

from the mood swing, i understand it is a case of the past memory or a present trauma. but dont know which one is better. anyway, good luck lad.

I keep coming back to this. I suppose my returning to it after a year and a half speaks for itself. :)
