    I couldn't walk with him in the rain sparks would ignite the bomb that fuses from our heads The countdown begins This moment, that is Creeping When this moment comes You'll feel the surrender Dumb and in love with no one but yourself And because of that: everyone When the blades you use to shape your excuses, run dull you run knives across your lips a first kiss with your soul Secrets seaping from every pore When nothing matters everything means so much more Posionous wine vineyards at dusk I ran with you in my dreams We laughed and laughed. I'm a ball of yarn Coming undone tossed around Serenaded by robots. Secrets in The Rain

  • Fvck you & your shallowness.

    I am a blind pirate Who thinks she sees land. Its truly only a infinite horizon Of crashing waves I'm thrashed down to the bottom Of the oceans floor. I've been there many times before. The cigarette between my quivering lips Records. I am toxic waste The tar in your lungs The pollution in the meadow's air The shine on the Beast's fangs Betrayed by masked friends Befriended: buys you a nice how do you do? When really they are saying I'M THROUGH WITH YOU!!! Don't think you have buttoned me up to care. Nestled warm from the flaming bitter cold air. Haven't you learned that cupids arrows are poison? Love now comes in prescription form. Lovely chemical clouds. Haven't you noticed? Or are your eyes still stuck on your forks next to your feast? xx I must stay away I have to restrain these intricate illusions are far past my head & way above my life. I move further from you to get closer to him. But with you is where love began I'll never get that beginning back I wish I could write a sappy love song To show you I love you Create a life With us together I fear we are better apart Why do I want you? Its only because right now I need you. My impulses sometimes steer my body They fog up my mind Though I find comfort in being blind I'll always choose sight. Please take me to the pier Let me feel thunder strike I will leave you more wholesome then before. Just leave me I'll crash like the waves on a ocean day To the mysteries in the depths of the oceans floor. The fog clears. But he is drawn backwards by guilt. Fire swarms his fists. They sink into faces Hopefully just walls Nothing fills these empty spaces I kiss away all of his mistakes but he forgets to say goodbye So they linger His past is a ghost Like a shadow It follows him by his side He mocks himself When change is given a try Hope crawls back into its metal shield We begin all over again I must be taught How to teach How to speak Properly I swiftly fail I start at the ending only to realize I love to bail. 2009 by SUNFLOWERDAGGER

paris, the city of love and…bones

i did know about the catacombs of paris, but i didn´t know about the walls of bones…this is beautiful scary …

some info about how and why there are all these bones in the underground of paris from wikipedia:

The Catacombs of Paris or Catacombes de Paris are a famous underground ossuary in Paris, France. Located south of the city’s former “Barrière d’Enfer” city gate (at today’s Denfert-Rochereau), the ossuary fills a renovated section of caverns and tunnels that are the remains of Paris’ stone mines. Opened in the late 18th century, the underground cemetery became a tourist attraction on a small scale from the early 19th century, and has been open to the public on a regular basis from 1867. Following an incident of vandalism, they were closed to the public for an indefinite amount of time in September, 2009.[1]

The official name for the catacombs is l’Ossuaire Municipal. Although this cemetery covers only a small section of underground tunnels comprising “les carrières de Paris” (“the quarries of Paris”), Parisians today often refer to the entire tunnel network as “the catacombs”.

Paris since Roman times buried its dead to the outskirts of the city, but this changed with the rise of Christianity and its practice of burying its faithful deceased in consecrated ground in and adjoining its churches. By the 10th century, because of the city’s expansion over the centuries, there were many parish cemeteries within city limits, even in central locations. When Paris’ population began to rise rapidly in the following centuries, some of these cemeteries became overcrowded where expansion was impossible. Soon only the most wealthy could afford church burials, which led to the opening in the early 12th century of a central burial ground for more common burials: initially dependant upon the St. Opportune church, this cemetery near Paris’ central Les Halles district was renamed as the ‘Saints-Innocents cemetery’ under its own church and parish towards the end of the same century.

The practice common then for burying the lesser-wealthy dead was mass inhumation. Once an excavation in one section of the cemetery was full, it would be covered over and another opened. Few of the dead buried in this way had the privilege of coffins; often the casket used for a burial ceremony would be re-used for the next. Thus the residues resulting from the decaying of organic matter, a process often chemically accelerated with the use of lime, entered directly into the earth, creating a situation quite unacceptable for a city whose then principle source of liquid sustenance was well-water.

By the 17th century the sanitary conditions around Saints-Innocents cemetery was unbearable. As it was one of Paris’ most sought-after cemeteries and a large source of revenue for the parish and church, the clergy had continued burials there even when its grounds were filled to overflowing. By then the cemetery was lined on all four sides with “charniers” reserved for the bones of the dead exhumed from mass graves that had “lain” long enough for all the flesh they contained to decompose. Once emptied, a mass sepulture would be used again, but even then the earth was already filled beyond saturation with decomposable human remains.

A series of ineffective decrees limiting the use of the cemetery did little to remedy the situation, and it wasn’t until the late 18th century that it was decided to create three new large-scale suburban burial grounds to the outskirts of the city, and to condemn all existing parish cemeteries within city limits.

KILL HANNAH van and gear stolen in philadelphia yesterday!

this is s o damn mean!

yesterday the band KILL HANNAH was the victim of a crime.

all theyr stuff was stolen in philadelphia,

they had to cancel shows and are in a very silly situation (nicely said).

the official press release sais:

Chicago nu romantics KILL HANNAH woke up on the eve of wrapping their fall tour with Jet, Papa Roach and Morningwood to a find their 15-passenger van and 14-foot trailer stolen. Taken between 4am and 11am today, Wednesday, November 11 from the front of the Holiday Inn on 900 Packer Ave, Philadelphia, PA—the same location that rock trio Mae had their van stolen from just a week earlier—the band lost over $120,000 in gear and merchandise, including one-of-a-kind vintage custom guitars and vintage custom effects. The theft comes just over a year after a devastating fire in Europe destroyed everything on the band’s bus.
Lead singer Mat Devine says, “We’re devastated and speechless. We’ve been touring so hard around the world for the past seven years and this is the most evil thing we’ve witnessed. Special Crimes say this was a coordinated heist.”
The band regretfully has to cancel their remaining tour dates, scheduled for the Electric Factory in Philadelphia tonight and the Nokia Theatre in New York City tomorrow. Their seventh annual “New Heart For Xmas” weekend of shows and events are still scheduled in Chicago on December 18 at Reggie’s Rock House and December 19 at Metro.

GOTHAGEDDON

cherubimu rockt die quantenphysik

er ist kein physiker

alles was er über quantenphysik weiß

weiß er aus dem internet

doch er hat am 26.09.2008

auf seinem wordpress blog

eine art end-zeit-märchen geschrieben

ein märchen das er ohne große vorbereitung

wie er es ausdrückt

einfach so ins netz gekotzt hat

ein märchen das als grundlage

eine quantenphysikalische theorie von cherubimu enthält

und diese theorie

wurde nun von zwei weltweit angesehenen quantenphysikern ins netzt gestellt

nachzulesen hier:

“Dr Holger Bech, Dr. Masao Ninomiya-ihr habt meine Idee geklaut”

*

ein kleiner ausschnitt aus cherubimus end-zeit-märchen

cern pressesprecher :

“ entgegen der algemeinen panikmache

leben wir alle noch .

hawking hatte recht

und das wussten wir schon immer.

wir haben ein stabiles schwarzes loch

auf sichere weise

in den dafür vorgesehenen  …“

der pressesprecher bricht zusammen

er wurde angeschossen.

panik bricht aus.

————————

die videobotschaften auf youtube werden

immer undurchsichtiger

angebliche schwarze loch filme

lösen endzeitstimmung aus

die nachrichtenagenturen

versuchen zu beschwichtigen

—————————

24.05.09

das gelände um cern herum wird

in einem radius von 100 kilometern

evakuiert und abgesperrt

—————————

dann taucht ein authentisches video auf

man sieht zwei weltberühmte cern physiker

sie stehen vor dem atlas detektor

oder besser das was von ihm übrig ist

die beiden physiker weinen…weiter geht es hier
