Sway

Because our lives are not governed by our actions alone; as much as we like to think it, we do not have complete control over every element in our lives.

No matter how deeply-rooted a tree is, it still sways in the wind.

"Sway" by lostprophets

When the sun comes down
Will the rain wash away
All the hopes of the brave
Into another day, another day

When the trees start to sway
And the wind makes them move
I can tell that
You don't know

To all the fights I've conquered and beyond
The times have changed and I will now move over slowly
But through it all I still feel lost without you
Hard to find a new soul, as silence takes its toll

(You sway) When you are lost
(You sway) When you don't know
(You sway) When all you want is to find home

As the light pours in
Feel the volume of the sky
Mark your place in time
With another question why

Tiny flickers in the light
Always looking to be right

To all the fights I've conquered and beyond
The times have changed and I will now move over slowly
But through it all I still feel lost without you
Hard to find a new soul, as silence takes it toll

(You sway) When you are lost
(You sway) When you don't know
(You sway) When all you want is to find home

(You sway) When you are lost
(You sway) When you don't know
(You sway) When all you want is to find home

You sway
You sway
You sway

Never Will I Break

Somehow each time I'm confronted with difficulty, I'd be presented with this song either by my iPod or iTunes... I used to ignore it, the old emo me... But now I won't.


"Never Will I Break" by 3 Doors Down

Lay me down
Wash this blood off of my hands for me
While I cry out
Don't let me die before I go to sleep

I can't keep going but I cannot start again

This road I walk is paved with the broken
Promises I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break

These walls I make
They hold me in and hold me back today
Oh but tomorrow's new
Then I'll walk right out and walk right over you

If you hear me screaming, please don't let me fall again

This road I walk is paved with the broken
Promises I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break

My time is on it's way
I'll fall but I won't break

This road I walk is paved with the broken
Promises I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break

This road I walk is paved with the broken
Promises I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break

"You'll Never Walk Alone"... it's evident of that now.

Archangel

Reflection

I'm supposed to be studying now, but I can't stop thinking of other things.

I've made many mistakes in the past, which I hoped not to repeat, and yet I've done so. I can only hope that my attempts in repair are sufficient, and that I will not repeat the same mistake ever.

It's time to take myself to another level.

New Deep

For those who do not know yet, after my three-day ordeal last week, I've come out of it a changed person... I'm much happier now, much more carefree, and definitely in a state of zen now.

Maybe this song can describe it to you. The tone may be somewhat sarcastic, but the message is there.


"New Deep" by John Mayer

I'm so alive
I'm so enlightened
I can barely survive
A night in my mind
So I've got a plan
I'm gonna find out just how boring I am
And have a good time

Cos ever since I tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine
I've been cool
With my new golden rule

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it's been

Is there a God?
Why is he waiting?
Don't you think of it odd
When he knows my address?
And look at the stars
Don't it remind you just how feeble we are?
Well it used to, I guess

Cos ever since I tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine
I've been cool
With my new golden rule

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it's been

I'm a new man
I wear a new cologne and
You wouldn't know me if your eyes were closed
I know what you'll say
"This won't last longer than the rest of the day"
But you're wrong this time
You're wrong

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
I'm over the analyzing
Tonight

Stop trying to figure it out
Deep will only bring you down
You know, I used to be the back porch poet with a book of rhymes
Always open knowing all the time I'm probably
Never gonna find the perfect rhyme
For "heavier things"

"You'll Never Walk Alone"

Archangel

Strike THREE! I'M OUT!

It's like what Marcus Fenix said when they destroyed the third seeder in Embry Square in Gears of War...

"And it's three for three"...


The streak continues. I wonder what will happen tomorrow. I'm scared to even think of it, cos I actually managed to predict correctly what would happen today.


Only the strong will survive. I can take what else you can throw at me... Bring it on.


"When it rains it pours"

Pull Yourself Together

Sigh.

This week is not exactly turning out to be the best week of my life... 2 for 2 so far. I wonder how many more things will come.


"Out Of My Mind" by John Mayer Trio

I'm putting you, baby
I'm putting you right out
Right out of my mind

I'm putting you, baby
I'm putting you right out
Right out of my mind

So tired of running after you girl
And being one and one half
One and one half steps behind, all the time

Go tell your friends, why don't you now
Go tell your friends
Just what Johnny did

Go tell your friends
Go tell your friends just what Johnny did, all right

If they don't tell you that you're crazy baby
Lord they're just as messed up as
Messed up as you is

I'm putting you
I'm putting you right out of my mind, yeah

I'm putting you
I'm putting you right out
Right out of my mind

Right out of my mind
Right out
Right out
Right out

So tired of running after you girl
And being one and one half steps
Being one and one half steps
And being one and one and one half steps behind all the time

"You'll Never Walk Alone"... but I always will.

Archangel
