And no one knows where the night is going...


"And all go stumbling through that house 
in lonely secrecy 
Saying "Do reveal yourself" 
or "Why has thou forsaken me?"

And no one knows where the night is going...

All at once the torches flare 
The inner door flies open 
One by one they enter there 
In every style of passion

(...)

Those who dance, begin to dance 
Those who weep begin 
Those who earnestly are lost 
Are lost and lost again

And no one knows where the night is going...

One by one the guests arrive 
The guests are coming through 
The broken-hearted many 
The open-hearted few

And no one knows where the night is going..."

Leonard Cohen

When will I turn and cut the world?

"my eyes are coral, absorbing your dreams
my heart is a record of dangerous scenes
my skin is a surface to push to extremes

but when will I turn and cut the world?"

"God visits all lost souls
To survey the damage
And holding his bleeding heart
A tear comes to his eye"

So...

where the fuck is it?

S.

"So I'm left to pick up 

The hints, the little symbols of your devotion 
So I'm left to pick up 
The hints, the little symbols of your devotion
(...)
And I feel your fists 

And I know it's out of love 
And I feel the whip 
And I know it's out of love 
And I feel your burning eyes burning holes 
Straight through my heart 
It's out of love, ooh hoo
It's out of love

Give me a little bit serious love"

Pinned down

"Who'll set my heart free 
Nice to hold when I'm tired

There's a ghost on the horizon 
When I go to bed 
How can I fall asleep at night 
How will I rest my head

Oh I'm scared of the middle place 
Between light and nowhere 
I don't want to be the one 
Left in there, left in there"

Antony Hegarty
