Temporary haitus is ending!



Who I'm currently listening to while I write this entry!



First and foremost, I'll be cleaning out some sections of my blog this weekend and updating things, including posting the below song lyrics to my poetry section. It's been a hellaciously busy few weeks, complete with more than one all-nighter thrown in there (not entirely my fault, but also not entirely out of my control, ans goodness knows I'm a proffessional procrastinator).

The song is titled "Uncompromising." I hear the melody in my head for it already, but I haven't written any music yet, per se. I'll be adding a guitar line this weekend, and maybe over our winter leave I'll actually record something again. In the meantime, enjoy reading the lyrics!

I try to fight it, that silly warming glow

That fills me every time I’m with you.

I’ve got a destiny, you know.

I don’t need you interfering. I can’t take the pain

Of letting go of what I never

Should have let myself gain.

But in the end, the separation

Becomes my friend.

I’ll stay distant, try as hard as I can,

And if you’re smart, you already know

That you should not follow.

Because I’m going down, and this path that I tread

Goes on and on into forever:

The cycle never ends.

I try to fight it, but the way you look at me

In such perfect silence, it makes me forget

That I’m my own worst enemy.

For everything I’ve done, everything I’ve yet to do

Is far more important than my happiness with you.

But in the night, the separation

Burns too bright.

[CHORUS]

The cycle never ends.

This is my final decision;

This is what I have to do.

I can’t compromise my position,

No, not even for you.

I don’t care how good it feels,

Or how bad goodbye hurts;

I can’t let you weaken my resolve,

For failure would be worse.

I’ll stay distant, try as hard as I can,

And if you’re smart, you already know

That you should not follow.

Because I’m going down, and this path that I tread

Goes on and on into forever:

The cycle never ends.

[Repeat CHORUS with BRIDGE overlay.]

I wrote the first verse of that in the shower last night, and then finished it up in my Political Philosophy class this morning. Don't worry, I managed to still take plenty of notes on today's lesson material. We were discussing John Locke's Second Treatise on Government, which I found pretty interesting. I think it was the revolutionary aspects, which should come as no surprise if you've read my *not remotely unbiased* piece on Virginia's gorgeous flag. Anyway, Rusalka, my Russian cadet, will be leaving Monday morning, so my life will be returning to some semblance of normal after that. Furthermore, I'm not doing anything extravagent this weekend, so I should have plenty of time to devote to my blogging :)


So with that, happy Friday! I'll be celebrating the New Moon tonight with some stargazing.
