The Desert Inside.
"The Graveyard is full of important men
Who could not be spared,
Yet were in the end."

I sit here late at night listening to the music of my youth, and truly it is my youth: I know by now that things will never be as they were. I sit here and blast this loudly to the point where I cannot make out the individual layers. It's empowering. It's depressing. I sit here and I think about how I never really listen that much to this stuff anymore but it still has such a comfortable feeling, like I hear this in my subconscious constantly every day but never realize it. It resonates around and I never hear the lyrics but I don't care what they say, because it somehow feels raw and emotional and at the end of the day (such as now), it makes me proud to be a member of the Human Race, who somehow figured out how to get from banging on the walls of caves to producing this resonating, beautiful layered music which will, for better or for worse, be with me until the day when I am calling upon God with repentance in one hand and a rivet in the other.
Let us all be Comrades and chip away bit by bit that which aggravates us.
