Part 2: Something In Me Was Dying

And my heart was heavy as stone.
Hard as I was trying,
I never could find, find my way home.

And your voice came out of nowhere,
Be my friend and give me your hand.
Let's take off together,
And then we can live wherever we land.

Girl I need you,
Don’t know what I would do.
Will you see the story through?

It's a cruel world,
And I need somewhere to hide.
But time goes by and you're still on my side.

In essence of what could be achieved, but not entirely so, I've fallen in love with reality. For one, there is no other worst case scenario of which I can conceive from the conscience that once brought upon the arrival of heights I had gladly witnessed. The calling was done, it ensued but only for moments you could hardly make sense of. Instances of longing and love had touched me deadly. Yet it just aches when I think of things that I should have done.

Holy truth, I choose this mortal life.

In other news,
1. Hemlock, aka ATI Radeon HD 5970, is rumored to be released some time this week. I'm still sad that it had to be underclocked in order to keep the power consumption below 300W which is in accordance with PCI SIG (Peripheral Component Interconnect Special Interest Group) standards. But who cares!!! It's going to claim the title of 'most powerful graphics card' anyway. And no, I'm not going to upgrade mine again. My GTX 295 is powerful(too powerful I might add) enough for most games out there.

2. On Sunday, the 6th of December 2009 at exactly 5:30 am, I will be flagged off in what is now officially regarded as the toughest race in my life thus far. The whole 42.195km of it will be fun I'm sure. And in terms of my training regime, I've only ran non-stop for 1 hour 20 mins. That might be a new record for myself but God knows how I'm going to last the estimated 5 hours that I'll take to finish the Standard Chartered Marathon without stopping. But still, my goal is to just complete it and that's all I'm hoping for.

3. Muse at Big Night Out 2010, HERE I COME!!! But this time I won't be going alone(yes I've learnt my lesson from the COLDPLAY concert) since some friends of mine are going along as well. My beloved mom and my beloved oldest sister(the one with the CUTE TWIN BABIES!!!) are even considering to waive the whole $131 ticket price for me since it's near my birthday anyway. Above all, please don't contact me on Wednesday, the 3rd of February 2010 from 7pm till 11pm unless you want to hear my awesomely terrible singing.

Part 1: The Overture

Of which we had so much, yet ages have passed since our last.
I shake through the wreckage for signs of life.
Scrolling through paragraphs, flipping through photographs.

Read page after page of analysis, looking for the final score.
We’re no closer than we were before.
Oh my friend, it’s never the end.
It's best we don't pretend.

Who are you? A piece of me. What am I living for? A piece of you.
Tooth for tooth, maybe we’ll go one more. Let's see what's really left of us.

You won't leave and neither would I.
Let’s stop the meter from running down.
I love the thoughts we shared that night.
Everything is better when we hear that sound.

I feel for you, I really do.
But nothing adds up the way we want it to.
No words can mend this fix we're in.
Give me your words, I won't even blink.
Right between the eyes, I won't feel a thing.

Was it just a dream, just a dream?
Cause it was real to me.
You say these words again and again.
But they still sound the same.

Je souhaiterais m’immerger dans les profondeurs des mers
Y disparaître pour ne plus jamais être vu
(I wish to disappear into the depths of the seas, never to be seen again)

Only to have me follow you.
