i was online
and a friend in thailand was online too.
he told me a dear friend of his passed away last night,
26 years old, heart attack.
he was not able to make it back to singapore for this friend.
life is not long for us,
for some, it's shorter.
we live each day as if it ought to be.
sometimes i feel ashame to be alive.
"To Sheila" by Smashing Pumpkins was playing on my laptop
when this sad news was told.
i don't know this guy,
but this song is for you, Alvin.
twilight fades
through blistered avalon
the sky's cruel torch
on arching autobahn
into the uncertain divine
we scream into the last divine
you make me real
you make me real
strong as i feel
you make me real
sheila rides on crashing nightingale
intake eyes leave passing vapor trails
with blushing brilliance alive
because it's time to arrive
you make me real
you make me real
strong as i feel
you make me real
lately I just can't seem to believe
discard my friends to change the scenery
it meant the wrold to hold a bruising faith
but now it's just a matter of grace
a summer storm graces all of me
highway warm sing silent poetry
I could bring you the light
and take you home into the night
you make me real
lately I just can't seem to believe
you make me real
discard my friends to change the scenery
strong as i feel
it meant the wrold to hold a bruising faith
you make me real
but now it's just a matter of grace
