"Devil on the left,
An Angel on the right.
There's no mistake,
"Strange how laughter looks like crying with no
sound.
Raindrops taste like tears without the pain."
-Queensryche
Empire.
"I need someone to
break the silence that's
screaming in my head
and in my soul."
-Stabbing Westward
Wither, Blister, Burn and Peel.
“I know someday You’ll have a beautiful life,
I know You will be the sun, in somebody else’s
sky.
But why, why, why can’t it, oh can’t it be mine?”
-Pearl Jam
My life is an endless sea of sorrow,
waves of pain crash upon a beach of anguish.
I drown in the depths of despair,
drawn by the current, swept from the safety
of the shallows.
My body sinks like a stone,
buried under layers of guilt.
My soul rises above this sea of pain,
toward the light, the light of life.
-Douglas, circa 1995.
