Live Another Day

Its fucking 5am on a Sunday morning. When your life is fucking measured by the number of cds you play, the unaccounted-for overwhelming sobs behind the room door that rip your breath apart, the insomniac hours of slogging is on the verge of breaching my sanity. When all tears are drained for countless nights, unsure of what you are missing, what you are expecting, at the same time relinquishing your heart-wrenching recent past..and present…you simply breakdown.

Breakdown is a release. You just let go for that moment. You shed your stoic mask. You face your helplessness head on. And then you crawl back onto your feet, wipe away your tears, and move on with a hard-earned smile…

I just dug out an old album from 7 years ago. Images And Words by Dream Theater. Used to be head over heels about them. After a while, especially after you’ve seen their B-grade movie look-alike video of the band, and attended John Myung’s all-I-can-do-is-slap-my-bass gig , you just cannot be bothered. Am listening to this track now…I still get blown away by Petrucci’s guitar solo in this track though…and still adore the lyrics. Enjoy.

Another Day

Live another day

Climb a little higher

Find another reason to stay

Ashes in your hands

Mercy in your eyes

If you’re searching for a silent sky…

You won’t find it here

Look another way

You won’t find it here

So die another day…

The coldness of his words

The message in his silence

“ Face the candle to the wind…”

This distance in my voice

Isn’t leaving you a choice

So if you’re looking for a time to run away…

You won’t find it here

Look another way

You won’t find it here

So try another day

They took pictures of our dreams
Ran to hide behind the stairs
And said maybe when its right for you, they’ll fall
But if they don’t come down

Resist the need to pull them in

And throw them away

Better to save the mystery

Than surrender to the secret…( I like this part..:P)

You won’t find it here

Look another way

You won’t find it here

So try another day

Ok. So much for now. Back to the keyboard.
