Who am I?

Sometime I wonder after this world has been crushed,
after it has been in my palm,
was it I who did it,
was it I who crushed everyones lives,

sometimes walking down the street
I think to myself
was it I who designed my life,
I wonder who created the life of ours,
as I sit here I wonder
was it I who pissed you off,

but the more I think about it, it becomes real,
was it I who upset you,
was it I who said it to piss you off,
was it I who detroyed or made your day horrible,

but I say, I am who I am,
I am sorry for the trouble I made,
I am not I no longer,
I am now the earth as i am crushed under my own palm !

The Vampire Within

The light dies down.
The shadows are alive.
The darkness overcomes me.
And I feel my blood pumping through my veins.
I can hear the pulses of everyone a mile away.
I feel the blood lust within me.
I take off and find the first living thing I see.
And she lays there...dead.
I stand there in horror.
Wondering about what I did.
Then the darkness comes back......forever.
And now I'm the vampire I always wanted to be.
The vampire within.

No-One Knows (Me)

I am mumbling to myself again
My tongue moves in my mouth
Suddenly I have no front teeth
Where did they go
I can't feel them
Panic rises
Then the feeling comes back
I can feel them
They are still there
It's over before I can react
No-one knows

I'm looking at the computer screen
My eyes burning
I can still see around me
But my eyes burnt out
Empty holes of black soot
Burning won't stop burning
Then nothing
It's over before I can react
No-one knows

My brain I can feel my brain
In my head is this pressure
Sometimes is gripping my brain
Like warm blood flowing in my head
Then it stops
It's over before I can react
No-one knows

Talking to you I lose myself
Go somewhere else inside
I start thinking of deep personal things
Things I don't want you to know
Then I realize you can read my thoughts
I am about to freak out
Then it endsIt's over before I can react
No-one knows

I look at a picture of myself in my teens
I feel guilt for not being stronger
Thoughts come into my head
14 year old me wants to stab the 21 year old me
I can feel the fearI don't know what to do
Then I come out of it
It's over before I can react
No-one knows ... No one knows...
No one understands...

Firefly - live life in moments.

Within the flickering flame
Of black waxed candle
Something flitters - illumined -
Then lands on silver handle

Blinking out the brightness
Tiny creature of lace wing
Breathing deep the twilight
Softly begins to sing

Calling out to kindred
Serenading all who hear
Calling together brethren
To place devoid of fear

Outside frosted window
Within the spreading night
Glowing pinpoint creatures
Appear while taking flight

Singing out in triumph
Song that calls them home
Home to flickering candle
No longer shall they roam

Seduced beyond discretion
Feelings they can't name
Drive them to destruction
Within the searing flame

Ratatouille trailer 2

The rat Rémy (Patton Oswalt) lives in a colony in the attic of a French country home with his brother Émile (Peter Sohn) and father Django (Brian Dennehy). Inspired by France's recently deceased top chef, Auguste Gusteau (Brad Garrett), Rémy tries to live the life of a gourmet. Not appreciating his talents, his clan puts him to work sniffing for rat poison in their food.

Rémy and the rats flee the house when the resident, an old woman, discovers the colony. Rémy, separated from the others, floats in the storm drains to Paris on a cookbook by Gusteau, following the chef's image to his namesake restaurant, now run by former sous-chef Skinner (Ian Holm). As Rémy watches from a skylight a young man with no culinary talent, Alfredo Linguini (Lou Romano), arrives with a letter of introduction from his recently deceased mother, and is hired on to do janitorial duties. Linguini spills a pot of soup and attempts to cover up his mistake by adding random ingredients. Upset, Rémy falls into the kitchen and attempts to fix the ruined soup rather than trying to escape. Linguini catches Rémy in the act, just as Skinner catches Linguini. In the confusion some of the soup has been served. To everyone's surprise, the soup is a success.


Rémy discovers that he can control Linguini's movements by pulling on his hair.The kitchen's sole female cook, Colette (Janeane Garofalo), convinces Skinner not to fire Linguini, provided he can recreate the soup. Skinner orders him to take Rémy away; Linguini, refusing to kill the rat, begins an alliance by which Rémy secretly directs Linguini in return for his protection. The two perfect a marionette-like arrangement by which Rémy tugs at Linguini's hair to control his movements and stays hidden under Linguini's toque blanche.

Skinner plies Linguini with vintage Château Latour in an unsuccessful attempt to discover the secret of his unexpected talents. The next morning, hung over and disheveled, Linguini nearly confides his secret to Colette. Desperately trying to stop Linguini, Rémy pulls his hair, making him fall on Colette and leading the two to kiss. They begin dating, leaving Rémy feeling abandoned. Meanwhile, Skinner learns after some sleuthing that, unknown to everyone, Linguini is in fact Gusteau's son and stands to inherit the restaurant. This would thwart Skinner's ambition to exploit Gusteau's image to market prepared frozen foods.

One night Rémy and his colony are reunited. While scrounging food Rémy discovers Gusteau's will which, after a chase by Skinner, he presents to Linguini. Linguini now owns the restaurant, fires Skinner, and becomes a rising star in the culinary world. After a falling out, Linguini decides he no longer needs Rémy, and Rémy retaliates by leading a kitchen raid for his rat colony. Linguini attempts to apologize to Rémy, only to discover and expel his colony. Rémy feels guilty about hurting his friend, and refuses to join them in resuming the raid.

Things come to a head the night of a planned review by jaded food critic Anton Ego (Peter O'Toole), the exact same critic who ruined Gusteau's life after he gave him a bad review and reduced his five-star restaurant to four stars. Linguini, unable to cook without the rat's guidance, admits his ruse to the staff when Rémy shows up, leading them all to walk out. Colette returns after thinking through Gusteau's motto, "Anyone can cook!" Django, inspired by his son's courage, returns with the entire rat colony to cook under Rémy's direction, while Linguini, discovering his true talent, waits tables on roller skates. Colette helps Rémy prepare ratatouille; Rémy's new recipe produces a dish so good that, in the climax of the film, a bite of it leads Ego to relive childhood memories of his mother. Ego asks to meet the chef but Colette insists he must wait until the rest of the diners have left. At the end of the service, Rémy and the rats are revealed. A changed man, Ego writes a glowing review, declaring that the chef at Gusteau's is the greatest chef in all of France.

In the denouement Gusteau's is closed by a health inspector, who finds the rats after being tipped off by Skinner. Ego loses his credibility and job when the public discovers he has praised a rat-infested restaurant. Everything is for the best, however; with Ego as investor and regular patron, Linguini, Colette, and Rémy open a successful new bistro called "La Ratatouille," which includes a kitchen and dining facilities for both rats and humans.
