ruthless h:story

they used to preach history back in school

wealth, wars, rich men, poverty

many years have passed since...
they say history repeats itself
it does

misery

pain

blood

all is wrecked
roads
landmarks
social lives
minds

opportunities
...

they mean no harm
teaching all this
but one should know that
in case it ever happens
in case it is repeated

in case one lived it

once more
.

i needed a friend ...
someone to talk to.

sh oul dileave

is she leaving

can i leave all that behind
just for ...

for a chance

that might
ha ppe n

i need a friend ...
someone to talk to.

i'm as
happy
as
sad

so mixed up

shine::: : : : :

remember when you were young
you shone like the sun

shine on you crazy diamond

now there's a look in your eyes
like black holes in the sky

shine ...

life::in a frame

i was rewinding some scenes in my head
scenes of past lives

it's amazing how much this mind can hold

pictures turn into memories

why do humans keep clinging on to those memories
those scenes
grief
sadness
joy
happiness
love and hate

i'd love to hate

i wish i could erase it all
start from scratch build new ones
and if i screw i'd erase it again
start over

and

over
...

i'd have miles and miles of film strips behind
all wasted
...
trying and trying

it's too bad that i only have this one strip
i better not waste it on foolish trials

i have a whole life ahead to fit
