I want to be that candle.
You know the one.
The one that burns forever.
I know that it burns cold.
But that's the secret
Don't you see?
I want to be that supernova.
You know the one.
The one that explodes forever.
I know that it spins alone.
But that's the secret
Don't you see?

As far as I know it's not from anywhere...
There were 3 concepts in my head and that's what they looked like in words... The third concept I didn't fit neatly with the other two which is why the second part seems so much more contrived... It occured to me later that there's Pearl Jam song that expresses the 3rd cconcept much better than I could. I'll look for it when I have more online time.

I found the Pearl Jam lyrics I had in mind as saying what I wanted to... They don't quite.
"I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on"

Yes. They are abit lonely and forlorn. But it was just the first two line I wanted to highlight.
Alot of Pearl Jams lyrics are quite expressive.

I have a really good Pearl Jam live CD that's quite good....

*Tries not to laugh*
Sorry, simple/stupid pleasures. Is the CD quite good or really good, is it two paralel state simultaneously? Or is a Schrodinger's Cat thing?

You shouldn't make fun of tired people it's not nice.... the CD is good and is actually three CD's so I guess it could be quite good and really good at the same time depending on which CD you're talking about in the set... *sticks out her tongue* so there....

"You shouldn't make fun of tired people"
Surely that's the best time to make fun of them. They can't chase you.

I feel so loved at the moment..... four hours of sleep in two days is definately not enough!

And now
As we try
To forget
A broken vow
We must recall
Life has a rule
That nothing good
Ever could
Last forever
[Sorry it was in my head and needed to get rid of it.]

Perfectly acceptable... the last three lines remind me of "Funeral Blues" by W.H. Auden....

It's pathetic incoherant unoriginal drivel. But then so am I.
