    someone who understands very well how to dive deep into passion. his true passion and it shows. an artist who is very comfortable in the fire.

      Yes. Like there three types of people. The ones who make it through the fire. The ones who don't make it. And the ones who learn to love the fire, because all they know is pain. So they embrace it..

    Lyrics:
    When will I ever be safe from myself
    If the danger all lies between heaven and hell?
    When I close my eyes, I'm not falling asleep
    I am opening drawers, I am sifting through papers
    Please stay a while, I'm not falling asleep
    I'm not falling asleep, I'm not falling asleep
    Please stay a while, I'm not falling asleep
    I'm not falling asleep, I'm not falling asleep
    When will I ever be safe from myself
    If the danger all lies between heaven and hell?
    When I close my eyes, I'm not falling asleep
    I'm not falling asleep, I'm not falling asleep
    I'm not falling asleep, I'm not falling asleep
    yourwellcome
    Ven a México Andy

    I was 1st introduced to this song on the show Being Human (US version). It was used in the very last episode of the series...and I've loved it ever since. BTW the show itself was GREAT.

    I don't really understand the video itself - or at least I couldn't explain it - but it's so... calming. And peaceful. Reminiscent of a simpler life, before technology and the world became so complicated. They looked so content.

    "Does art have a deity?
    Can it be pointless and poking?
    Do I play the guitar or do they wisdomly play me?
    If I seek not am I lost or found?
    Why is it so hard to look up?
    To thank the boss for a raise and deny the Earth for spinning?
    To jade the stars and pedestal the sofa?
    Why?
    Questions might get me further to the truth.
    Maybe I'll start asking them more often.
    Busy being bored.
    Who, what, when, where, why, how?"
    This will be my new mantra."

    "Sentimental blurren.
    Nostalgia is a smell, dryer sheets, family meals, perfumes, cologne. Longing for the birth of a deja Vu, a feeling in the pit of your heart, in the shadow of your youth as you wither in the lack of the providing light. Recollections lost like stamps in a book of bones turning to dust, specks forgetting the spectacle before the scattering wind.. skin.. dispigmenting to the color of rancid milk, muscles atrophying to putrid and feed the buzzard. They're circling above,
    they're not hungry, this is what they do best, the only thing they know... Everything but the bones. Such is death as such was life."

    "Forget me so.
    I'm an infestation, I demoralize,
    I teach you to kill something alive,
    a mouse in the bread box, a pillow stuffed with the feathers of the wings of an Angel holding the resting head of the wicked.
    I am the crucifixion misspelled with a fiction, blissing knowledge, the driven nails, the striking hammer, a thorned crown, the salted wound.
    True silence, spoiling honey, sadness and madness coddling envy.
    Exacting gratitude, retracted light,
    thankless and content.
    The forgetting found by the forgotten.
    Pissing in a body of lies.
    It's disgusting the games adults play,
    it sickens me the lengths that the rich rule to debase the poor, keeping hope in the horizon, taunting and lethal.
    Who will show the meek our weaknesses, our faults and our flaws so they may not fail as we have failed?"

    "We wept on our feet to make them clean, our eyes burning red from the sand that it took that now felt like it was ripped from us. Tired we are of feeling the hurt from the pain of the Earth or the pain from the hurt of the Earth. They pick beauty until it bleeds and then pick the scabs when it tries to heal in hope it bears scar. Faith without a spine is a ghost or a corpse soon enough and God won't forbade it.
    God is both Good and Evil, sinner and saint, Earth wind and fire, breakfast lunch and dinner, famished and starved."

    "Tomorrow rest assured that today was the best day in your life. Not so far but period. It was happy for you, that it brought you so much joy. It knows what's around the corner, how hard it has been, will be still. Disaster...
    Some people know how it feels to be this word that is usually attributed to events.. Relief sometimes comes in the form of pain. Ask how are you not happy.
    What do you need for this to happen?
    Less pain? Trust in those terrible days and that they will be endless as long as wonderful ones are doubted so."
