Cold July



Empty streets with fallen leaves
Everybody’s asleep snugly tucked away from the cold

We humans tear each other down like stripping old wall paper
With each word a strip is ripped
Ripped and torn till all is left is the cement wall

Are you happy now that all you see is my brokenness?
Are you finally contented that all I have is nothing?

No I don’t suppose you are

You got other wallpaper to strip and tear now
I’m just one less wall
There are hundreds waiting

Cold humans that cannot be called humans anymore
In this cold July
We kill

Neurosis

I never thought I'd say this, but...

I think I'm neurotic.

I just might be.. you know?

Blaring Confusion

L: Is there a problem?
B: I don't think so.
H: But I think there is, I ache.
L: I ache too.
B: Both of you aching causes me aches too.
H: Maybe there isn't a problem, maybe it's just me...
L: Or me...
B: Whatever it is, I know I'm not really involved...

Doors

Once the doors are shut
It'll be hard to break through again
Heed the signs trust your heart
Once the doors are shut
Almost no one will enter a second time

Bitterest Sweet - Lone

Bitterest Sweet




Being lonely is a bittersweet experience
Sometimes bitterer than sweetness
And other times well sweeter than bitterness

Being alone in my room
Beats being lonely in a party with five hundred people
I am the stranger in the crowd
You see me but you don’t talk to me

Singing in my room
Lamenting about loneliness
Lamenting my absent pain

I’ll get used to it
Life can stick needles into my sides
But I’ll get used to it
You can remain quiet
And I’ll get used to it


Perhaps you are still with me
Call me Thomas
I find familiarity not in you but in things forbade

If only she read this

"This is the last time that I try to reach you, and my guess is that you'll just ignore it
Without a passing glance
Without a slightest sigh
Without moving your hands Without the softest cry..."

The Angels Rejoice

And so it is, seven people received Jesus Christ as their Saviour and a lot more who showed interest!

So the toiling from 9am was worth it after all! We rejoice! :D

It is Tiring

I am feeling a million feelings and thinking a million thoughts right now. Yes it feels like that many things are going on in my puny mortal shell, as if I could count to a million...

Right now?

I just feel like being selfish
Do what I desire
Shun contact
Let it all take over my being.

Have you been using me?
Because I feel used
Have you?

I feel strange
No, not depressive
Just w-e-i-r-d
Like someone once said



"You're queer"

Gig Debrief

First thing, worst set I've ever played aside from the time I played for PRISM with an out-of-tune guitar... That time excusable 'cos it was my first ever show! But this time it kinda sucked.

I couldn't hear my over driven guitars, clean tone was too loud, why? Cos no sound check, why no sound check? Cos the show must go on. Now that I think about it, we were made to play at 5pm, half an hour ahead of our slot, surely that would've been ample time for soundcheck! ARGH!

I only realised that, NOW.

Now I understand why Joey complained about the poor organisation of the Singapore Street Festival. But with that aside I think it's really a good opportunity for new bands to strut their stuff! :) So kudos to them.

But still it was a sucky set, I hope the set on the 18th of July will make up for things... Yeah you have a nice day.

Peace out.

Compassion my boy.

I was at the Moral Home for the Disabled for a photoshoot. I thought I was going to a Children's Home, an Orphanage... But I didn't expect it to be a home for the mentally disabled.

I was scared, and I was sad. I was so quiet for a while, wondering to God.
"Why Lord did you allow all this to happen?"
Now I know why people always like to ask why God allows suffering...

Dying Cat

It was a pretty white cat with pretty black patches on it's body.
But silly little pretty white cat was too near the road.
Then it got hit by something so big to it.
Then it jumped, squirmed, contorted, spasmed and puked, blood.
'Let go, let go' I said, and still I said 'Let go, let go'

That was for the cat.
