Jesus, Jesus, I’m still looking for answers
Though I know that I won’t find them here tonight.

AAAHHH
Ray Ray is the proud product of New Hampshire! Yes, it’s the small things that get us going in the Live Free or Die state. In other news, this is the best version I’ve ever heard.
My sister got VIP backstage passes for free to see him live like a week ago at Bumpershoot… so jealous.
I would abandon heterosexuality at his request.
Death - Flesh and the Power It Holds
I told you once, but I will say it again:
When you live the flesh, it’s the beginning of the end.
It will take you in; it will spit you out.
Behold: the flesh and the power it holds.
Passion is a poison laced with pleasure bittersweet;
One of many faces that hide deep beneath.
It will take you in; it will spit you out.
Behold: the flesh and the power it holds.
Touch / Taste / Breathe / Consumed
Deja-vu - already knew (from the first encounter),
But now I know to let go of words, to speak no more.
Like a wind upon your face, you can’t see it but you know it’s there.
When beauty shows its ugly face, just be prepared.
[Solo]
Passion burns like fire carried by the wind;
The end of a time, a time to begin.
It will take you in; it will spit you out.
Behold: the flesh and the power it holds.
It builds you up one way and tears you right back down;
A time to begin, the end of a time.
It will take you in; it will spit you out.
Behold: the flesh and the power it holds.
Touch / Taste / Breathe / Consumed
Deja-vu - already knew (from the first encounter).
But know I know to let go of words, to speak no more.
Like a wind upon your face, you can’t see it but you know it’s there.
When beauty shows its ugly face, just be prepared.

Since music is a language with some meaning at least for the immense majority of mankind, although only a tiny minority of people are capable of formulating a meaning in it, and since it is the only language with the contradictory attributes of being at once intelligible and untranslatable, the musical creator is a being comparable to the gods, and music itself the supreme mystery of the science of man, a mystery that all the various disciplines come up against and which holds the key to their progress.
