A estos peñascos rudos,
mudos testigos del dolor que siento
-que sólo siendo mudos
pudiera yo fiarles mi tormento,
si acaso de mis penas lo terrible
no infunde lengua y voz en lo insensible-,

quiero contar mis males,
si es que yo sé los males de que muero;
pues son mis penas tales,
que si contarlas por alivio quiero,
le son, una con otra atropellada,
dogal a la garganta, al pecho espada.

No envidio dicha ajena:
que el mal eterno que en mi pecho lidia,
hace incapaz mi pena
de que pueda tener tan alta envidia;
es tan mísero estado en el que peno,
que como dicha envidio el mal ajeno.

No pienso yo si hay glorias;
porque estoy de pensarlo tan distante,
que aun las dulces memorias
de mi pasado bien, tan ignorante
las mira de mi mal el desengaño,
que ignoro si fue bien, y sé que es daño.

Esténse allá en su esfera
los dichosos: que es cosa en mi sentido
tan remota, tan fuera
de mi imaginación, que sólo mido,
entre lo que padecen los mortales,
lo que distan sus males de mis males.

¡Quién tan dichosa fuera,
que de un agravio indigno se quejara!
¡Quién de un desdén llorara!
¡Quién un alto imposible pretendiera!
¡Quién negara, de ausencia o de mudanza,
casi a perder de vista la esperanza!

¡Quién en ajenos brazos
viera a su dueño, y con dolor rabioso
se arrancara a pedazos
del pecho ardiente el corazón celoso!
Pues fuera menor mal que mis desvelos,
el infierno insufrible de los celos.

Pues todos estos males
tienen consuelo o tienen esperanza,
y los más sin iguales
solicitan o animan la venganza;
y sólo de mi fiero mal se aleja
la esperanza, venganza, alivio y queja.

Porque ¿a quién sino al cielo,
que me robó mi dulce prenda amada,
podrá mi desconsuelo
dar sacrílega queja destemplada?
Y él, con sordas, rectísimas orejas,
a cuenta de blasfemias pondrá quejas.

Ni Fabio fue grosero
ni ingrato, ni traidor; antes, amante
con pecho verdadero,
nadie fue más leal ni más constante:
nadie más fino supo, en sus acciones,
finezas añadir a obligaciones.

Sólo el cielo, envidioso,
mi esposo me quitó; la Parca dura,
con ceño riguroso,
fue sólo autor de tanta desventura.
¡Oh Cielo riguroso, oh triste suerte,
que tantas muertes das con una muerte!

¡Ay dulce esposo amado!
¿Para qué te vi yo? ¿Por qué te quise,
y por qué tu cuidado
me hizo, con las venturas, infelice?
¡Oh dicha, fementida y lisonjera,
quién tus amargos fines conociera!

¿Qué vida es esta mía,
que rebelde resiste a dolor tanto?
¿Por qué, necia, porfía,
y en las amargas fuentes de mi llanto
atenuada, no acaba de extinguirse,
si no puede en mi fuego consumirse?

I hear silent whispers in the wind
“Take my hand and walk with me
And maybe one day
You can come
To see what
I see”
What nonsense is this
All I know is what I will come to see
Will be the shining light of the sun
As the night comes to an end
The bright sun will come up
So I wait for that light to guide me
After the long dark night
But upon morning there is no shining sun to greet me
It is hidden by foreboding black storm clouds
Oh rain cloud oh rain cloud
You can be so quite yet so loud
You know me better than I know you
But I look to those clouds and only see beauty
For they bring rain do they not
And rain will wash this ***** earth
And moisten the cracked dirt
With this luscious rain it brings life
To the dead ground
This rain reminds me that through all of the pain regrets and mistakes
You can still be washed anew
Just watch the rain to wash it all away
Forget about yesterday and let the new and beautiful begin
Open your heart to what you never expected
Maybe something magnificent will happen
You'll never know until you try
Oh rain cloud oh rain cloud
You can be so quite yet so loud
You know me better than I know you
But I know that I am still here
But at the moment just hidden away
in this shell of a person I have become
But like those clouds
This shell will soon be gone
And the sun inside will burst out with
Shinning and beautiful light
Just like the one that sits inside my heart
Oh rain cloud oh rain cloud
You can be so quite yet so loud
You know me better than I know you
Time will bring this friendship to a close
But only for a short while
Until then I will remember the lesson
I have learned
Beauty Joy and laughter are not
Always going to be shinning brightly
Nor will they always be loud
Sometimes they are Muted and dimmed
But it does not mean that they are gone
Now I can say those far off distan whispers
Were from my own heart
Just hidden away
Like I was that long ago day
Take my hand and walk with me
And maybe one day
You can come to see what
I see
Oh rain cloud oh rain cloud
You can be so quite yet so loud
You know me better than I know you

I started smoking to quit my addiction
It's started to feel like my life is fiction
Where do i go to pay my commision?
I'm ready to go i've hit my limit
"What about everything you'll be missin'?"
Everything is born with a single mission
Survival of the fittest and reproduction
No deeper meaning it's how we're written
Earth doesn't need me in this rendition
Over populated and under provisioned
We need to loose a couple in this position
To most death seems so very distan'
Fearing death is like fearing ******'
Eventually you have to go so listen
Enjoy every moment you're given
Life has no meaning so enjoy your visit
Someday we'll all come to a finish
Extinction is enivitable so just go fishin'
