blast my eardums out
it's the only way I can live out these truths and not destroy something
So much to long for!
--but I have no claws
I can't chase down my prey
and know that it was only due to my power that I am able to eat
to survive
and to defend me and mine from the world.

This aria
soaring high and moving melody
gives my heart wings as I feel that I must fall
before such beauty, I cannot contain it
the screaming guitars are a hymn
to all I hold dear: raging passion and living at this very moment
none other
it's all there is
and all that is

only in dreams



*mood is stuck; should be "enthralled" or the like. Should be "yearning" and "crushed" and "elated" and that this miracle of a biosphere is worth our exultation.
but I digress.
