Quote:
From morning to night I stayed out of sight Didn't recognise I'd become No more than alive I'd barely survive In a word ... overrun
Won't hear a sound From my mouth I've spent too long On the inside out ... My skin is cold To the human touch This bleeding heart's Not beating much
I murmured a vow Of silence and now I don't even hear when I think aloud Extinguished by light I turn on the night Wear its darkness with an empty smile
I'm creeping back to life My nervous system all awry I'm wearing the inside out
Look at him now He's paler somehow But he's coming around He's starting to choke It's been so long since he spoke Well he can have the words right from my mouth And with these words I can see Clear through the clouds That covered me Just give it time Then speak my name Now we can hear Ourselves again
I'm holding out For the day When all the clouds he'll have blown away .. I'm with you now Can speak your name Now we can hear Ourselves again
I'm creeping back to life My nervous system all awry I'm wearing the inside out

I rather like the original post. Puts a good metaphorical spin on the abstract interaction between life and death.

Well that is the heart of the thread. All of my other posts in this thread are jokes and BS...the first one was the point I wanted to make.

I have gone through those stages of avoiding discomfort/living death as well, and can see it in the people all around me.
BTW, is there room in that lean-to for anyone else???

Who you bullshitting? Your already living there.

If that is the case, then let's get out of this dump and go climbing!
