Black Swan

These masks we fear we cannot live without, but know we cannot live within. So here are some of the threads that bind me. Pull a string and I'll begin to unravel. Oh, and let's not be shy... we're all a little mad here.

"To The Teeth"
The sun is setting on the century
and we are armed to the teeth
We are all working together now
to make our lives mercifully brief
Schoolkids keep trying to teach us
what guns are all about
Confuse liberty with weaponry
and watch your kids act it out
Every year now like christmas
some boy gets the mildfed suburban blues
reaches for the available arsenal
and saunters off to make the news
And women in the middle
are learning what poor women have always known
That the edge is closer than you think
when your men bring the guns home
Look at where the profits are
That's how you'll find the source
of the big lie that you and I
both know so well
In the time it takes this cultural
death wish to run its course
they're gonna make a pretty penny
and then they're all going to hell
He said the chickens all come home to roost
Yeah, Malcom forecasted this flood
Are we really gonna sleep through another century
while the rich profit off our blood?
True, it may take some doing
to see this undoing done
but in my humble opinion
here's what I suggest we do:
Open fire on Hollywood
Open fire on MTV
Open fire on NBC
and CBS and ABC
Open fire on the NRA
and all the lies they told us
along the way
Open fire on each weapons manufacturer
while he's giving head
to some republican senator
And if i hear one more time
about fools rights
to his tools of rage
I'm gonna take all my friends
and I'm gonna move to Canada
and we're gonna die of old age

FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT
...'cause fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity.

My two greatest vices: Indulgence and Denial. Everything in life has a polarity and I am still learning to maintain a balance of these things. Within reason most can serve to enhance life, but the same in excess becomes a destructive force.
"Quod me nutrit me destruit."
:That which nourishes me also destroys me.
I am developing a new perception of mind to manifest a new life. Sometimes it feels like I'm seeing the world for the first time. It's been so long since I've noticed how beautiful the sky is...

"My lesbianism is an act of Christian charity. All those women out there are praying for a man, and I'm giving them my share."
We must release ourselves from the vices of those who attempt to turn human judgment into divine command.
Remission of sin.
Dear God, help me become the person my doctor medicates me to be.

...and this is what I know of love...
“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.”
"Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it inflames the great."
Imprisoned Beauty
"I am tired, Beloved, of chafing my heart against the want of you; of squeezing it into little inkdrops and posting it."
Well, it seems like I can always count on a climactic ending... I just never know which end of the trigger I'll end up on.
Missing you.
Value life and love, and tend to them delicately, because they are sewn with the seeds of their own destruction.
