listening?
this energy of him...

played for me that U2 song, One, with the words "..bad taste in your mouth"...five minutes after i wrote a blog titled that.

also played was a Metallica song. I'm not a big fan, but he was when he was younger.

and i'm thinking, maybe i should be listening to the lyrics. so i turned it up:

"Suicide, I've already died
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for.
Cyanide, living dead inside.
Break this empty shell forevermore.
Say is that rain or are they tears
that has stained your concrete face for years?
The crying, weeping, shedding strife.
Year after year, life after life.
An air of freshly broken ground
A concrete angel lit right down.
Upon the grave which swallows fast.
It's peace at last, peace at last!
Empty, they say.
Death, won't you let me stay?
Empty, they say.
Death, hear me call your name,
call your name.
Suicide, I've already died.
You're just the funeral I've been waiting for.
Cyanide, living dead inside.
Break this empty shell forevermore.
To end this war.
To end this war.
It's just the funeral I've been waiting for."

There were some other songs, but those stood out the most today.

I believe in that energy.

I might just be psychic, but if that's possible, so is his energy, playing for me these words.
