Mad World

February was a hard month for me. I'm glad it's over. I can't really go into detail as to why it was hard. Suffice to say, it's related to the events and people mentioned in previous blog entries. I'm not going to lie. I don't know if I've ever felt so disillusioned about life. Maybe when I was living in England, but even then I don't think I was as disgusted with the human race as I am now. Sometimes I feel as if it's literally sucking the life out of me...

I recently heard this song on an episode of CSI (Las Vegas) and was like, "Oh my gosh. This is EXACTLY how I've been feeling for the last 3 months."

This is why I love art; particularly music (which is no surprise as I'm a musician). It has the power to connect people; with others, with themselves, with other peoples' thoughts, feelings, emotions as well as their own. This song actually gave me clarity and peace - something we all need from time to time.

All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places, worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere

And their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression, no expression

Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow

No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

'Cos I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It's a very, very

Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday

Made to feel the way that every child should

Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous

No one knew me, no one knew me

Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson

Look right through me, look right through me
