Happy Groundhog Day!

So I'm sitting at work, reformatting hard drives and installing operating systems...woohoo! Actually, working here isn't so bad at all--I have my own little office in the basment where nobody bothers me, complete with a thermostat, a fairly new computer and high-speed internet access. In short, it's a lot better than most other jobs I've had.

I'm listening to the mix cd Bree made me and enjoying it more the more I listen to it. I don't have alot of money to buy records, so I'm always excited to hear new music. AND, speaking of Bree, hmmm...she has been all goodness so far. As she said, "if things keep going well, i really look forward to _____ (fill-in this blank as you please )" and so far things have been going well.

And now, for your semi-weekly dose of something I penned to paper, so to speak. I decided to post the lyrics to a new song we're working on, so have a look-see and tell me what you think:

While Nero Played

suffer the right hand, while the left hand sharpens a blade
and then you suffer the left hand, while the right it warms up, it warms up again
so you suffer the right hand, while the left hand yeahsharpens the blade
a knife-winged bird, in a house of cards
and were all sitting ducks
were all sitting ducks
were all sitting ducks

are we crippled, are we sleeping?
is this moment of contention doomed to be fleeting?
With no confidence in our circumstance
this march of malcontents will ring out in dissonance

If i stay this course, i will surely write you wrong
so im trying to care, and persevere
because Rome wasnt burned in a night
but even in the face of flames we fight
We will not go quietly

meanwhilemuch-respected, well meaning theorists, patriots, intellectual terrorists scatter our innocence over the airwaves
over the airwaves!

and we have entered a modern dark age
where the blankets of the night sky, are draped tightly over our eyes
and these faceless candidates, nameless counterfeits
making it so theres no real truth in saying which side youre on

weighing the positives to sway the populous
populating the caucus with ignorant callousness
blind justice is lead by hand into the darkest of hell pits
and greenback fires consumeth it in a rage of blazing glory (there is no glory!)
we need to cut the systems resources
this monster grows at rates we cant control
we cant control

One voice
In this chorus is stronger than the silent masses
And if we stay this course, we will surely write their wrong
So care, and persevere because Rome wasnt burned in a night
and in the face of flames, yeah we must fight
because these parties drink lunacy and drive futility
But we wont go quietly
