    I'm not much of a poet, but i tried. This is for my Big Bro. Love and peace.

    He jerks wildly around
    in time with the sound
    of his favourite music..

    He's not listening, cannot hear
    cannot see cannot feel
    a result of his self inflicted sickness...

    knife your wrist, the wound deepends,
    release the pain you hold within
    Lose yourself, you are dying
    through the heavens you are flying.
    whats that noise? There's a humming
    in the corner you are strumming,
    your guitar and you realise
    I'm alive
    so you cry.

    Saved again by faceless strangers,
    warning him of the dangers,
    accompnied by the lifestyle that he chose...

    with machines and modern science
    they released him from the silence
    once more up from limbo he rose...

    knife your wrist, the wound deepends,
    release the pain you hold within
    Lose yourself, you are dying
    through the heavens you are flying.
    whats that noise? There's a humming
    in the corner you are strumming,
    your guitar and you realise
    I'm alive
    so you cry.

    Another chance he is given
    to return to the living
    he vows to use it to the full...

    finaly peace surrounds his heart
    he plans a brand new start
    that day, not by his hands, he is killed...

    "with machines and modern science

    once more up from limbo he rose..."

    Words that ought to shatter the silence of
    reading in my head -
    I'd love to hear that set to music,
    A soulful singer and a sax...

    Thank you for sharing :)

    Biida- funny you should say that. I asked a mate of mine to put it to music a while ago. He didn't like the lyrics though and it just never happened

    thanks everyone :&
