Do the voices in your head keep you up at night, too?


Paranoia is the corruption of rational thought. - Me, attempt at sounding profound




Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that, what's that?

This is how it starts, not with a bang

Melancholy and sadness are the start of doubt... doubt is the beginning of despair; despair is the cruel beginning of the differing degrees of wickedness. - Isidore Ducasse Lautreamont





Despair/Happiness - The Mouse Trap



This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper

Don't let your days go by

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...

Happiness, Discomfort, Improvement

The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.
- M Scott Peck
