Bodies
Push me again…
This is the end…One, Nothin wrong with me…
Two, Nothin wrong with me…
Three, Nothin wrong with me…
Four, Nothin wrong with me…One, Something’s got to give…
Two, Something’s got to give…
Three, Something’s got to give…
…………Let the bodies hit the floor, Let the bodies hit the floor, Let the bodies hit the………..
Let the bodies hit the floor, Let the bodies hit the floor, Let the bodies hit the floor.
There is a time… a situation when a man wants nothing more than to go to sleep and forget. To fall asleep and simply never wake up. Or perhaps to awaken in a different world. One where he is protected from the pain that drove him here.
But that wouldn’t do, would it? Because the source of this pain is one from which he can never escape. It comes from within himself. Running is not possible. To wake up in a new world, is to corrupt that world with the evil that is already inside of him. To wake up at all is to lose the battle.
So he prays. He prays that God would take away this burden. That He would remove the burden of life. He contemplates taking his own life. Another flawed plan. To take ones own life is to attempt the destruction of God’s plan. If He thought the man could do no more good, He would have removed him already.
But now lies before the man a paradox. He wishes not to corrupt any longer. He cannot remain, and he cannot escape. He must not live, but he cannot die. From his heart flows love, while it spills out hate. He longs for good, but strives for evil.
Now is the time for sleep. For inaction. He may or may not awaken from this slumber. He may or may not succeed. But for now he pretends that everything will be better in the morning. He tells himself that a new day brings new opportunities. He sings to his soul a lullaby of lies, so that it may rest, at least for a night.
Tomorrow truth will be revealed, if only a little bit. Tomorrow actions will prove the intents of the heart. Tomorrow will be yet another test. Tomorrow, let the bodies hit the floor.
EDIT: Aaaand, we’ll just top it off with the loss of another friend! (see this post for background information).

Wow, yeah it’s too bad that ‘love’ or ‘infatuation’ or whatever has to get in the way of a good friendship. Tuesday the 17th is your departure, correct? What time is that taking place? I ask because I have been unsuccessful in finding a replacement to take my shift. If it is like late at night it could still work! Lemme know, dude.
