MY FAVOURITE SONG ON THE ENTIRE EARTH (/\)
Your sword's grown old and rusty Burnt beneath the rising sun It's locked up like a trophy Forgetting all the things it's done And though it's been a long time You're right back where you started from I see it in your eyes That now you're giving up the gun When I was 17 I had wrists like steel And I felt complete And now my body fades Behind a brass charade And I'm obsolete But if the chance remained To see those better days I'd cut the cannons down My ears are blown to bits From all the rifle hits But I still crave that sound Your sword's grown old and rusty Burnt beneath the rising sun It's locked up like a trophy Forgetting all the things it's done And though it's been a long time You're right back where you started from I see it in your eyes That now you're giving up the gun I heard you play guitar Down at a seedy bar Where skinheads used to fight Your Tokugawa smile And your garbage style Used to save the night You felt the coming wave Told me we'd all be brave You said you wouldn't flinch But in the years that passed Since I saw you last You haven't moved an inch Your sword's grown old and rusty Burnt beneath the rising sun It's locked up like a trophy Forgetting all the things it's done And though it's been a long time You're right back where you started from I see it in your eyes That now you're giving up the gun I see you shine in your way Go on, go on, go on Your sword's grown old and rusty Burnt beneath the rising sun It's locked up like a trophy Forgetting all the things it's done And though it's been a long time You're right back where you started from I see it in your eyes That now you're giving up the gun ~Neo

the journey of changing one's mind, heart, self, or way of life ~Neo In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts.
They come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. -Ralph Waldo Emerson [writer and philosopher] ~Neo Maybe a bit of an old Title, but at my place,
no dust collects on top of J.R.R Tolkien's 'The Hobbit'. Not only was this among my favorite books ever written, But recently it was adapted into a three part movie. Needless to say, they were near the best three films I've ever seen. But this time watching, I stayed for the credits. Ed Sheeran, Bless his soul, Had a beautiful song at the end, called 'I See Fire'. Needless to say, Again, One of my very favorite songs. Thank You Tolkien. "Not all who wander are lost" So stay all wander-ish. Love you all! ~London, World Renowned Fortune Teller Noun
A deep, endless homesickness, for a home to which you can't ever return, Or for a home which never was. ~Neo E*The*Rea*Al
Extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world. "her ethereal beauty" More pretty words every week! ~Roman Yeah. It's been awhile since I've gotten to post. Terribly sorry, bit of social drama.
Actually that's why I was making this 1st day of spring post. Last night was tough. Up til' 1:30 all depressed and texting four different people, and I thought, 'Wow. My life was going so good'. Then came my metaphorical hard winter. Summer was dead, Fall was over. Winter. I'd never been so unhappy. Then I woke. Warm light was peering through the slit in my blackouts. It was the first day of spring. I was irrationally elated, given the circumstances. But, I digress. The post is supposed to say something to the effect of, "Some things can really make you sad, but A LOT OF THINGS can make you really happy" Thanks for your time ~ Neo "We often forget that the world is FULL of people. Full to bursting with imaginable people, who are endlessly misimagined." |
