“They” are watching; All of “them.”

“Give me release
Witness me
I am outside
Give me peace
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe that I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides”

Delirum–Silence

Yea, this was a good video for this song and it really made me want to go play Zelda again like I was a kid back home before everything fell apart.  There was one Christmas that I got the Legend of Zelda game and a pimp Ariel sleeping bag.  I remember sitting next to the fireplace and playing that game with my Dad while my mom slept off yet another long night partying.  I guess it was always that way, at least for as long as I can remember.  Hell I was usually with her on most of those wild escapades to be real honest.  It’s kinda crazy to think about some of those times and it kind of all seems pretty unreal.

I don’t even really trust my brain anymore.  I never really know if I am remembering things the way that I should or if my brain is just distorting things through its’ own protective methods.  I know some things I can only remember the sounds and I can recite conversations in broken bits, but I can’t see a damn thing.  It is really fucking annoying.  I am not sure if I am supposed to remember or not, maybe I don’t really want too if I am honest with myself. 

Lady Hawke–My Delirium

“Hey! you`re playing with my delirium
And the longer i wait the harder i`m gonna fall
Stop! playing with my delirium
Coz i`m outa my head and outa my self control”

I do feel out of my head all of the time lately, but I guess that is just my normal place really.  It’s like sometimes I really feel like someone else is putting ideas in my head or like my brain gets stuck on auto-repeat and I just don’t have the tools that I need to control it or reverse those thoughts.   Sometimes when I try to think back and remember things, it’s not even my memories, but instead its me watching “me.”

I know it’s crazy, but I really do feel as if I am watching some horror movie version of myself and I keep screaming at myself to stop, turn around or run way – All to no avail.  It is sad and frustrating to watch myself long after its to long gone. 

I have no clue how this is appropriate, but it was stuck in my head–SO yea.

Now, this brings me to something I want to lightly touch on before I get to tired to write anymore since we are on the subject of me watching me.  I am also constantly convinced that “they” are watching me.  This “they” is no one in particular, but “they” watch me consistently, even when I don’t know “them.”  Most of the time “they” just watch me with no harmful or malicious intentions, but there are times when a separate *bad* “they” do have intent to hurt me – usually by trying to shoot me through any window possible or lurking in dark rooms.

This one is just funny.

I know some of this is lingering's of PTSD from my past.  I know the whole “shooting in windows” comes from really having someone shoot literally through our windows.  It was on of my mom’s any ex’s he was so crazy.

As for lurking in dark rooms, that’s a story for many other days. 

This post has gotten entirely off the track that my brain was on and I have no clue where all the words went that were floating around in my head, but I guess I can save them for another time.

I am pretty tired.

Me against Me

 

 

Lupe Fiasco–Beautiful Lasers

 

Lyrics:

[Hook: MDMA]
There's only 2 ways out of here
You'll be too late, you'll be trapped here forever
There's only 2 ways out of here
One's through the door, the other's through me


[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
Sometimes living in a world like this
It's pretty hard not to go insane
Not pretty if you don't comply
Pretty easy if you don't complain
Stand there like you don't feel pain

No tears in the face of defeat
Pretend til the end that you don't feel change
Don't admit that your faith is weak
Don't say that you feel like dying

Life's hard and it feels like diamonds
Your home's just far too gone
Much too late to even feel like trying
Can't understand what I'm saying
Can't figure out what I'm implying
If you feel you don't wanna be alive
You feel just how I am


I'm on the dark side
And you can't come find him
How when it's light all around you
Yeah, But it's dark all inside him
No winners when it's me against me
One of us just ain't gonna survive

My heart been broke for a while
Your's been the one keepin' me alive


[Hook]


[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
This world is such a fucked up place
My mind's such a fucked up shape
Everything down here sucks
Maybe what's up there is great
We all gotta go one day
I just wanna cut to the chase
I wanna stop these nightmares
I just wanna touch her face


All you see is all my feats (feets)
All you see is all my flaws
All I hear is all my demons
Even through your applause
All you see is all my flights
Well all I see is all my falls
All you see is all my rights
All I see is all my wrongs

Door, keep telling me to fight
Gun on my table telling me to come home
Telling me to to put him inside my hand
Then put it up right next to my dome
Door keep telling me to find a reason
Anything to keep me from squeezing
Simplest things, yea you really like summer
You really like music, you really like reading love
I can't win if it's me against me
One of us ain't gonna survive
And my heart been broke for a while
Your's been the one keepin' me alive
Your's been the one keepin' me alive
Your's been the one keepin' me alive


[Hook]
