Hellview: Population 96

..."so we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed
and the hunger for the living helps them hunt it with the greatest of ease
no experience could ever match the sight of when a person is through
if it's the last thing I will do I'll be the one that will escape from hellview...and I will."...

Just got back from the CKY concert. IT WAS FUCKING GREAT! Did I mention that it was fucking great? I wish I could remember the set list. I wish I had taken in my damned digital camera! It was fucking crazy! Thank the Goddess that I didn't try and venture too damned close to the stage. I was on the edge of the damned mosh pit as it was. I'm almost getting too damned old for these concerts. I've only got a slight headache from this one, but that is only because I couldn't stop myself from banging my head with the music. I can't believe how much I sweat my ass off. I don't even know why I bothered to take a shower after my workout before going. But you know what? It was fucking worth it! I didn't know what to expect, how they would sound live. I expected all the crazy ass youngsters moshing and just going out of control, that was a given. But gawd damned, they sounded great! I forgot my fucking money though, so no tour shirt.

All I got was a CKY sticker as I walked out of the concert. I guess I can't say I didn't get anything in return, eh. I received an awesome night of loud music and a nice little headache.

In the end, it was all worth it!

They closed their set with this song. You have to hear it live. Sounds way better live!

"Close Yet Far"

Who said that I wasn't right?
I've lived for years without a life
Don't have a soul on my side
Still ridiculed despite how hard that I have tried
Don't take me under your wing
I don't need a hand, don't need anything
I've got a roof over my head
As if I'd rather be alone with me instead

Close yet far
Drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
And I'll tip my hat to those who can't believe it's me
Though I never never never ever wanted this to be

I can hear the sounds of the city
Sunrise and set are the same to me
A hesitating pulse is good company
And my reflection offers no apology
But who said that I wasn't right?
And I've lived for years without a life
Don't have a soul on my side
Still ridiculed despite how hard that I have tried

Close yet far
Drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
And I'll tip my hat to those who can't believe it's me
Though I never never never ever wanted this to be

Close yet far
Drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
And I'll think of the days when there was something to believe
Though I never never never ever wanted this to be
