Of Late

To see the world morn over the same individual is an interesting phenomenon.....

At work the other night, the DJ played a set of Audioslave vs. Linkin Park songs back to back.  I'm not sure why, but it felt sadly powerful.  The songs melded into one another and their voices belted out heartfelt lyrics that made you want to cringe.  I stopped and listened for a moment - do these people understand the aftermath of their decisions?  It's crazy to think that people cry over the death of strangers but it's more understandable when you imagine how many people lived each day listening to a certain voice with certain words with certain instruments at a certain rhythmic tempo.  It becomes so much more than just a random fame obsessed Hollywood star.

Dancing in the night
starry eyed and laughing
climb the treehouse
swing from its branches

clinking glasses
smoking cancer
slow dance now
and wrestle me later

drown and suffocate me
in an act of love
never thought I'd still be thinking of you
