Don’t you think I want it too, baby, when I look at you?
You’ll miss the golden moments when everything aligned,
Did it go on underground without a soul around?
Don’t that make you wonder how God found the time?

We’re always waiting around for grace
To put a smile upon our race.
Well, I'm sure she’s got a prettier face than the world

Well, it’s a real big place, your hands on mine
You know it happens, honey all the time
Well, my hands going wild, well it wouldn't be wrong even if I tried
Tired of these goodbyes, tired of all these weeping eyes,
Tired of being tired of the process of being tired, of you being tired of me
I'm tired, tired, tired, tired...

Moonshine
Moonshine
I may be bleedin' but I feel just fine

Moonshine
Moonshine
I wish to God you would send me a sign
My future's on its knees
It don't do its best to please
My crooked spine

Moonshine
Moonshine
I got the troubles of this whole world combined

Moonshine
Moonshine
I bet my whole life on this useless design
And I don't see no place
That I can show this shameful face
Without fear of decline

Never knowin'
Is the most evil feelin'
And every answer here
Is none too appealin'
I'm just waitin' in line
Prayin' hard when it comes, it's divine
Have I been blind, moonshine?

Moonshine
Moonshine
I'm going up to Graceland where they built me a shrine

Moonshine
Moonshine
I'll take all your problems if you'd only take mine
And we'll go with the girls
They got empty beds and curls
We won't be easy to find, moonshine

per aspera ad astra

Looking up from an icy spot
Praying for the rebirth of the sun
If everything would explode
Would you breathe in or out?

 

And all I can say to you
Is to fly with the riddle to touch the moon
All I can say to you is try.
 

"No one heard"

You're waiting for salvation
- guess it never came to pass
Who helps you when you're searching
- you know that nothing lasts
Still you plead for absolution
- And you're buying all the lies
- He was never there, never there

All your praying - it's all lies
All your kneeling - I spit in your eyes
The fate of betrayers - You got what you deserved
All your praying - No one heard

Ignoring what's around you
-never heeding nature's call
Building temples and double standards
- watching wisdoms fall
Still you think you've been chosen
- hypocrisy standing tall
You think your God is waiting
- one eye laughs in his hall

Prince of darkness

My victims are rich or poor, young or old, strong or weak

I cause millions of accidents, I am cancer in your bones

I fathered the lie, twist what you say, speak not the truth

I am insidious, impartial, deep inside your chromosomes

I take what you love, and leave you in tears

I imprison your soul, your hopes are my games

I strip you of pride, my promise is in vain

While you burn at the stake I dance with the flames

I bring poverty, sickness and death

A worthless handshake, the slickest thief, I steal your wealth

I answer your prayers for greed and lust

More than evil, I laugh at your trust

I am more powerful than all the armies of the world

I am more violent than violence, more deadly than death

I have destroyed more men than all the nation's wars

I am relentless, unpredictable, waiting for your last breath

 

Prince of Darkness.

euforia

Soon madness has worn you down. It’s easier to do what it says than argue. In this way, it takes over your mind. You no longer know where it ends and you begin. You believe anything it says. You do what it tells you, no matter how extreme or absurd. If it says you’re worthless, you agree. You plead for it to stop. You promise to behave. You are on your knees before it, and it laughs.

- Marya Hornbacher

Small gestures

I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself. For a moment life suddenly feels lighter, a bit more Gene Kelly dancing in the rain.

- Jonathan Carrol

Pessimismo

There is always a part of my mind that is preparing for the worst, and another part of my mind that believes if I prepare enough for it, the worst won’t happen.
- Kay Redfield Jamison

What is it?

What it is?

It is madness, says reason
It is what it is, says love.

It is unhappiness, says caution
It is nothing but pain, says fear
It has no future, says insight
It is what it is, says love.

It is ridiculous, says pride
It is foolish, says caution
It is impossible, says experience
It is what it is, says love.

- Erich Fried, Es ist was es ist

Solidão

A solidão é uma condição humana. Cultiva-a.  A forma como ela se molda em ti dá espaço para a tua alma crescer. Nunca esperes superar a solidão. Nunca esperes encontrar alguém que te vá entender, alguém que vá preencher esse espaço vazio. Ser inteligente, sensível é a excepção, a grande excepção. Se esperas encontrar pessoas que te vão compreender, irás crescer com uma decepção mortífera. O melhor que alguma vez farás é compreender-te a ti mesmo, saber o que queres, e não deixar ninguém obstruir o teu caminho.

- Janet Fitch, White Oleander.

Boa pessoa

...Pessoas que afirmam serem más normalmente não são piores do que o resto de nós." Ele suspirou. "São as pessoas que afirmam ser boas, ou de qualquer modo melhor que nós, de quem devemos  desconfiar."

- George Maguire, Wicked
