Between the good and bad, that's where you'll find me, Reaching for Heaven

Here's hoping the fact that the bottle of alcohol-removed champagne *not* blasting the wall like it did last year is a sign that 2010 is going to be a good year.

And so we have a new year and a new decade ahead of us, like a fresh new blank book for us to write the next chapter in our life stories...

And the first song to pop into my head in 2010: "Gotta Knock a Little Harder" from the Cowboy Bebop movie (of course it would be some anime song :: Laughs:: ). The lyrics seem fitting, considering the doors I've sometimes closed to keep out some painful feelings or situations.



Off to go hunt up my copy of the late, great Arthur C. Clarke's "2010"...

EDITED: to fix incomplete idea. I hate it when the bubbles go to my head. :: laughs::

Don't ask me why, but this song seems to fit my situation...


Once upon a time I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
And you believed I could
You'd seen it done before
I could read your thoughts
Tell you what you saw
And never say a word
But now all that is gone
Over with and done
Never to return

I can tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun

Staring at the loss
Looking for a cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned

I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun

Hey

Shapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who lived inside my skin

I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun (8x)
Sun (2x)
