Queensrÿche - Anybody listening



You and I
Long to live like the wind upon the water
If we close our eyes, we'll maybe realize
There's more to life than what we have known
And I can't believe I've spent so long
Living lies I know were wrong inside
I've just begun to see the light

Long ago there was a dream
Had to make a choice or two
Leaving all I loved behind
For what nobody knew
Stepped out on the stage, a life
Under lights and judging eyes
Now the applause has died and I
Can dream again...


Is there anybody listening?
Is there anyone that sees what's going on?
Read between the lines
Criticize the words they're selling
Think for yourself and feel the walls
Become sand beneath your feet

Feel the breeze?
Time's so near you can almost taste the freedom
There's a warm wind from the south
Hoist the sail and we'll be gone
By morning this will all seem like a dream
And if I don't return to sing the song
Maybe just as well
I've seen the news and there's
Not much I can do... alone

Is there anybody listening?
Is there anyone who smiles without a mask?
What's behind the words--images
They know will please us?
I'll take what's real
Bring up the lights

Is there anybody listening?
Is there anyone that sees what's going on?
Read between the lines
Criticize the words they're selling
Think for yourself and feel the walls...
Become sand beneath your feet

Yes

 Band Yes has been a very interesting musical group. Been listening to owner of a lonely heart. I'm an 80's gal and seen their videos and familiar with them. That being said, it's the lyrics that compell. The long version video explains more as the short will make no sense if you are not familiar. The animal symbolism is key. Rhapsodomancy time! 

Move yourself ... You always live your life, never thinking of the future..

I am now . 

In the end you've got to go, look before you leap..

AND don't you hesitate at all!

Lazy days

 Most of the snow has melted as my shoulders sigh. Just can't think of anything else to do except web designs aka sig tags. I do enjoy it however there needs to be something else to balance it out. That's what coloring was for. Penup is not the same as actually holding a pencil and perusing a book, letting it talk to me.

There's such a great gnawing of my spirit of needing to be creative. I can't just sit here on my unmade bed staring at the cracked ceiling. 

The tiredness of depression roots heavily between sighs as I type this. It would be very helpful to have the resources of compassion like hot water or a microwave to heat soup up. Had an orange for breakfast.  Soup afternoon. " don't ruin my microwave ".. are you kidding me? At least I let it slide down my back. Getting better at not taking things personally but it's hard living with a professional asshole. 

On that note.. this is the hardest time of year for anyone and here's wishing those with extra sorrow a great hope. Situational depression needs more attention. If I told half what of what I live with.. would you believe me?
