don't dream it's over

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There’s a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you’ll never see the end of the road
While you’re travelling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don’t dream it’s over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won’t win

Now I’m towing my car, there’s a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there’s no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the t.v. page

Hey now, hey now
Don’t dream it’s over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won’t win

Now I’m walking again to the beat of a drum
And I’m counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, hey now
Don’t dream it’s over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don’t ever let them win

you will no doubt be hearing this a lot in the next week or so. crowded house was a fucking brilliant band, and paul hester was a cool guy. no, i didnt know him personally, but i'd seen enough of him in interviews, film clips and on hessie's shed to know it'd be fun to hang out with him

Somewhere deep inside
Something’s got a hold on you
And it’s pushing me aside
See it stretch on forever

I know I’m right
For the first time in my life
That’s why I tell you
You’d better be home soon

Stripping back the coats
Of lies and deception
Back to nothingness
Like a week in the desert

I know I’m right
For the first time in my life
That’s why I tell you
You’d better be home soon

So don’t say no, don’t say nothing’s wrong
Cos when you get back home maybe I’ll be gone

It would cause me pain
If we were to end it
But I could start again
You can depend on it

I know I’m right
For the first time in my life
That’s why I tell you
You’d better be home soon
That’s why I tell you
You’d better be home soon

he was found dead in a park not far from him home. apparently he'd been depressed for so long, it had just become too much for him

i've been finding it harder and harder to stick around lately. my smiley face is slipping a hell of a lot quicker than usual and my heart is right out there on my sleeve.

im not happy

i'd like to blame it on something, like the court stuff or a bad time at work, but it started before i knew the court date, and im still actually enjoying work. im just finding it harder and harder to be motivated to do anything. even my baby's crys dont move me as quickly as they should.
i'm considering going back to the doctor and asking to review my meds. they arent working as effectivley as they were, and its really causing me some troubles. im drinking for starters, and thats just not me

i cant go into detail. its not that i dont want your help. its just that i cant tell you. and i cant tell you because i dont have the words

You were blessed by a different kind of inner view: it's all magnified.
The highs would make you fly, and the lows make you want to die.
And I was once there, hanging from that very ledge where you are standing.
So I know
I know
I know,
It's easier to let go.
