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???

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