Burn


Soulful and lonely. Always looking for something or someone (more usually you know doesn’t exist).

WARNING: Strong Adult Themes and Violence


"Don’t look don’t look"; the shadows breathe
Whispering me away from you
"Don’t wake at night to watch her sleep
You know that you will always lose
This trembling
Adored
Tousled bird mad girl… ";
But every night I burn
But every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again

" Oh don’t talk of love"; the shadows purr
Murmuring me away from you
" Don’t talk of worlds that never were
The end is all that’s ever true
There’s nothing you can ever say
Nothing you can ever do… ";
Still every night I burn
Every night I scream your name
Every night I burn
Every night the dream’s the same
Every night I burn
Waiting for my only friend
Every night I burn
Waiting for the world to end

" Just paint your face"; the shadows smile
Slipping me away from you
" Oh it doesn’t matter how you hide
Find you if we’re wanting to
So slide back down and close your eyes
Sleep a while
You must be tired… ";
But every night I burn
Every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again
Every night I burn
Scream the animal scream
Every night I burn
Dream the crow black dream
Every night I burn
Scream the animal scream
Every night I burn
Dream the crow black dream

Dream the crow black dream…

    You have been busy, Craig. And I have a bone to pick with you. I clicked HERE to see the song and would you believe I’ve never seen Youtube before and now I’m totally hooked – I haven’t yet searched for a song it doesn’t have. Currently listening to Vienna, just listened to I want to break free (love that film clip), Heartbeat City, Moonlight Shadow (currently working on an image of this one), Space Oddity and Tragedy. Okay, so I have dorky taste but wait, there’s more and more that you can’t get on CD but now I can listen to them all again. As if I don’t spend enough time in front of a square screen and IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT. Oh the joy!!! No… really, I’m rapt and at the same time thinking I need a 36 hour day.

    By the way, this image is great.

    Sorry Craig – I’ve missed commenting on a lot of shots they’re coming up so fast. This is awesome as usual. And, thanks to you, I’ve starting pinching all Danielle’s Cure CD’s – now she really thinks I’ve lost my mind (usual CD’s in car – Keith Urban (don’t laugh…), Josh Groban, Kenny Rogers and….wait for it…..more Keith Urban!

  • Craig Shillington

    Craig Shillington

    {{{{hugs}}}} Don’t worry about missing stuff Sue … I’m the same too … sometimes things just move so quickly we just miss stuff, then Life gets in the way ;) We still comment ;) All’s good :) Hey … good onya … the Cure are my Fav all time band ever for infinity and beyond ;) :) Have been listening to them since I was 16 and will listen to them when I am 116 (Yeah … I have big plans!! LOL) I think people either love them … or hate them. Danielle’s got good taste …. if she needs any more Cure stuff give me a yell ;) I have nearly everything they have done ;) hehehe Keith Urban is good .. I haven’t listened to a lot of his stuff, but know I like what he sings. Kenny Rogers is GREAT too :) I would never laugh at your choice of musical taste, because I know music has a lot more to do with our soul than genre of choice. My ex here is/was a country singer … so I heard a lot of country stuff when we were together .. and I generally like it :) I generally like most/all music anyway. Go Keith!!!! ;)
