placebo - the bitter end

since we're feeling so anaesthetized,

in our comfort zone,

reminds me of the second time,

that i followed you home,

we're running out of alibi's,

on the second of may,

reminds me of the summertime,

on this winter's day,

see you at the bitter end;

every step we take that synchronised,

every broken bone,

reminds me of the second time,

that i followed you home,

you showered me with lullabies,

as you're walking away,

reminds me that it's killing time,

on this fateful day,

see you at the bitter end;

from the time we intercepted,

feels a lot like suicide,

slow and sad, come in silence,

arise a bitter mine,

see you at the bitter end;

i love to see you run around,

and i can see you now,

running to me,

arms wide out,

see you at the bitter end;

come on reach inside,

grab the gentleness inside,

heard a cry,

six months time,

in six months time,

prepare the end,

by Gibran Khalil Gibran

"i tell you that the children of yesteryears are walking in the funeral of the era that they created for themselves. they are pulling a rotted rope that might break soon and cause them to drop into a forgotten abyss. i say that they are living in homes with weak foundations; as the storm blows -- and it is about to blow -- their homes will fall upon their heads and thus become their tombs. i say that all their thoughts, their sayings, their quarrels, their compositions, their books and all their work are nothing but chains dragging them because they are too weak to pull the load.
but the children of tomorrow are the ones called by life, and the follow it with steady steps and heads high, they are the dawn of new frontiers, no smoke will veil their eyes and no jingle of chains will drown out their voices. they are few in number, but the difference is as between a grain of wheat and a stack of hay. no one knows them but they know each other. they are like the summits, which can see or hear each other -- not like caves, which cannot hear or see. they are the seed dropped by the hand of god in the field, breaking through its pod and waving its sapling leaves before the face of the sun. it shall grow into a mighty tree, its root in the heart of the earth and its branches high in the sky."
