Everywhere I look,
Time flickers like a strobe light.
The rhythms rage,
In a reverb haze.
Like we're driving through tunnels,
But our wishes change.

Do I pull out my tongue
Or will the rain turn to scum?
Do I wait under overcast,
Or will I miss my train to the sun?
Do I flock among ghosts,
Or dream to get lost?

Sounds like waves ring us awake,
Above us, purple clouds combust.
One ghost is singing,
Another one is breathing.
One ghost is gifted,
And the other one's wishing for luck.
We're drifting through tunnels,
And there's clouds in…

Fingers bitter cold,
Fists frozen by the fog
Barefoot in the snow.
Your breath can catch the clouds
Your eyes can melt ice
And I am nearby,
Hidden in the white-
In a luminescent glow.

When the fog clears
Listen to the city streets,
Among the discordance
Welcome tomorrow's beat.

Close your eyes to misty nights,
When the water freezes
Along the moonlight rhythm
Whistling through the frost.
Open your eyes, and breath.

Everyone's sleeping,
Could that it be, forgetting
That time is out of control.
Reserved for a dream,
The tears on the seams,
Did you forget too?

If I tell you the future,
Tell me where to begin.
What is it you know
That will make you believe?
Will I believe you too?

It begins to make sense
As soon as it scatters,
It begins to make sense
When it no longer matters.

Everyone's sleeping,
Could it be me, forgetting
That I'm out of control.
Reserved for a dream,
The tears turn to steam,
Who did I forget?

April 2013.

It's been a real blast from the past this month as I found myself once again exploring all that I could from this magnificent site. I've been gone for probably two years or so, and I have been on this site since 2006. As the artists I loved started to change, and my tastes became much more refined, I walked away from one of the things I love the most… the different sensations I can feel when under the influence of music!!!

A big part of it, too, was the trauma of losing my old playlist, as well…

Put your music player on shuffle with all your music in the list. Make a list of the first 40 songs that come up. You can repeat artists if you want. If you have any repeat tracks, skip to the next track.

1. Children of Bodom - If You Want Peace… Prepare For War.
2. The Bled - Hotel Coral Essex
3. Devin Townsend - Loveload
4. Sonata Arctica - Flag in the Ground
