I was rereading a book today of things that were written by Henry Rollins today. Mostly of the stuff was written while he was touring with black flag. Right in the beginning of the book I came across one of the things he wrote that initially caused me to become a fan. I am sure he wrote it in completely different context than I relate to it, but it felt appropriate today. It states pretty well my current frame of mind with my job, but I think most people can find something familiar with it, so here it is:

I've got a place
I've got a desert
I've got a good thing going
Don't climb down here
You put me on the outskirts of town
Now you want in?
You think you do
I'll turn your lights out
I'll take your virginity away again
I live in a hanging garden
Suspended from your world
In alienation: No Sears, Roebuck dreams
No credit is good
In alienation I am whole
Complete
The full circle realized
In alienation
In the alienation
In the peace of 21361 minds
It's only cold in your world
When I'm with you I'm cold
Alien
Your world is such a lonely place
When I am there
I am cold
You are a bad trip
That's why I quit you
That's why I spat you out
That's why I went upriver
Into the desert
Into the jungle
Into the sun
I exist in alienation
I am not alone
I am joined by those who know that paradise
Lies
