Rape
Now that it appears that no one reads my blog anymore I thought I might put something more frank up. The following lyrics are from a song named Prison Sex that was recorded by Tool on their album Undertow. The lyrics are a running dialogue between a child and an adult. I know that it seems brash and crude just reading it but I would really encourage everyone (or anyone who still reads this thing) to actually download the song and listen to the music while reading the lyrics. I think it gives such an honest insight to something so terribly unimaginable.
It took so long to remember just what happened.
I was so young, vestal then, you know it hurt me.
But I’m breathing so I guess I’m still alive
Even the signs seemed to tell me otherwise.
Got my hands down, and my head down,
And my eyes closed, my throat’s wide open.
I do unto others what has been done to me.
Do unto others what has been done to you.
I’m treading water. I need to sleep a while.
My lamb and martyr, you look so precious.
Won’t you, won’t you come a bit closer.
Close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this. I can’t stand to burn too long.
Release in sodomy. the one sweet moment I’m whole.
I do unto you now what has been to me.
I do unto you now, what has been done.
You’re breathing so I guess you’re still alive.
Even the signs seem to tell me otherwise.
Won’t you, won’t you come on up closer.
Close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this. I need this to make me whole.
Relief in sodomy. have you witnessed that blood and flesh can be trusted. i.
Have you witnessed the blood and, this can’t be trusted. i.
Only this one holy medium brings me piece of mind.
Got your hands bound, and your head down,
And your eyes closed, you look so precious now.
I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this.
Shit, blood, and come on my hands. I’ve come round full circle.
My lamb and martyr, this will be over soon. you look so precious.
You look so precious now…

I’m sure you’ve played that song for me before, but you know how terrible I am at hearing lyrics in songs. You’ll have to play this song when I see you.
Just to let you know, I always read your journal. I may not respond all the time, but I check it daily to see if you’ve posted something new.
Love You, MJ

Dude, that sound is “all-right” (and the crowd cries “heresy”).
Don’t think people don’t read your writings. I thought that for a while, but comments don’t reflect how many people read it. I’m still suprised how many people read my stuff and never leave comments.
