The thing is that nobody gives a fuck about what you say or do.

And does not matter how hard you try, nobody is gonna be there for you.
So my tip is go as fast as you can, try to fix or tear apart everything, but do something.

And carry on.

Drink. Fuck. Smoke. Dream. Make. Whatever.

Just don’t waste your time on something that probably will go to waste after some mistakes.
And its all about how strong you can be, and after some time, will be how hard can you protect someone.

But in the end, trust me, nobody’s gonna care.
And tonight, there’s no one to save my soul.
And I tell you, I don’t care at all.

Its numb, but well, I deserve hell. Sure I do.

Because peace sounds like something so far, and Im so fucked up that none of this matters. Not my job nor all those thoughts in my head. And I’m ok with that, because I don’t see other ways. Its nice to get a life simple as that. When you’re made to go trough every shit that no one’s ever had the guts to do or say.

And by the end of the day, you will die a couple of hours in your sleep but you will still be tired.
You will suddenly wake up and face the world once again. There’s no rest on that. There’s not even a single spark of peace. But you smile. You’re good at that. And you rise again, and fight again.

And no one will care, and no one will have time.

And you go. Wear your leather jacket, smash some faces, drink some bottles of scotch and call it a day. Hook up with someone who does not give a shit about who you are and what you will do in the morning after, and carry on. It should be easier for turning off the humanity in you. Like some old rock n’ roll song or some shitty poetry. Like that thing that I am writing right now. I just feel so fucking lost and disconnected from everything and yet so attached to some things that sometimes I try to negate the reality that Im getting old. That I crumble with the fear that Im not feeling alive no matter how hard I try to.

Live a miserable life, because that’s what you have left.

I guess I am tired of thinking that maybe something will eventually be alright, and I am losing my hope over here. I feel free, and I am just fucking tired of all this. I am tired, and I want to sleep. I am tired of trying to fix everything, and to do good to people that does not even care about what I am trying to do. I am really tired of everything and I really want to know what should I do.

But I guess that everyone carry some sort of shitty thing inside its heart, doesn’t?

I guess this morning I woke up and finally perceived that… I became a wreck.
And that’s good, because the world needs people like me. Who comes and goes and do the necessary things to make it happen and then leave in exile, without any expectatives of things getting better because they are so fucked up.

And in texts your depression and quotes are beautiful. And in sad pictures and in those persons who cut themselves and put pictures here its something amazing and inspiring. And maybe, even the break-up songs, and the empty bottles, and the cigarrettes or even the numb-drunk-walks after midnight at some shitty party or lost souls may be something to talk about and be proud of, but in the reality, we are all numb. We are all fucking lost and seeking for a moment of redemption. May be trough love, hope, God itself or an answer for those questions in your head. And you may lost yourself in that search. And tomorrow may not come anymore because you stuck a bullet in your head, and that’s life. Happens all the time, and you may ask yourself where’s your mind, like The Pixies.

That’s how it happen. All the time. In every corner, in every empty bottle and glass that you see after a long night at some junk party. Look at their eyes. Look at how numb we became that we try so hard to leave your bodies and turn off our existence for just a tiny little bit of time. Just to see if we can bear that pain that is to have nothing to support us. That we, broken ones, are wild beings that belongs to nowhere. That this is our freedom and our curse. To wake up everyday and know that nobody gives a fuck. To know that we can change things, and ourselves, and yet there’s a hole in our personality, and its so real that you can feel it in your chest. And all people do is talk, and that, if they have the courage for do so… because I guess in those days, people have fear to even feel something. They fear to feel, and that scares the shit out of me.

And tomorrow I will smile. And tomorrow I will work. And if my friends asks if Im ok, then I will say that Im ok. And I will keep calm and carry on, because that’s what all those little fuckers do, right?

But I guess that’s ok.

Because in the end of all that, nobody will ever care, and there’s will be probably an joke for all this shit. And that is what it is. A joke, in the semiotic eyes of sarcasm.

And I will sleep tonight, and in my sleep I will just hope that I will be in a better place.

And tomorrow I will seek a better way. And I will be stronger than all these things that overwhelms me.

I will be better than my nightmares, and I will face my fear.
And I no longer will be there, but no one will care, and I will not too.
I will make my way, and I don’t even know to where, but I will.

But tonight… tonight I gonna sleep.

Good night.

The Scientist writes a letter to nobody - Vinícius S. Souza

E foi lendo A Culpa é das Estrelas que eu me deparei com uma quote bem bacana:
“A escrita não ressuscita. Enterra.”

Sorri um sorriso torto no momento em que li.
Pelo visto te enterrei além de 7 palmos, minha cara desapercebida.

Pensamento Sem Título #20 - Vinícius S. Souza
For as has been already said, every soul of man has in the way of nature beheld true being; this was the condition of her passing into the form of man. But all souls do not easily recall the things of the other world; they may have seen them for a short time only, or they may have been unfortunate in their earthly lot, and, having had their hearts turned to unrighteousness through some corrupting influence, they may have lost the memory of the holy things which once they saw.
PHAEDRUS - Plato

Vangelis - Memories of Green

I don’t know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody’s life; my life. All he’d wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

I’m not there - Bob Dylan

Ev’ry thing’s all right
And then she’s all the time in my neighborhood
She cries both day and night
I know because it was there

It’s a milestone but she’s down on her luck
And the day makes her lonely
And it’s so hard to buck, I was there

I believe that she’d stop him if she would start to care
I believe that she’d look upon this side
And t’ care and I’d go by the something
When she’s on my way, but I don’t belong there

No I don’t belong to her
I don’t belong to anybody
She’s my prize forsaken angel
But she don’t care she cries
She’s a lone-hearted mystic and she can carry on

When I’m there, she’s all right
But she’s not when I’m gone
Heaven knows that the answer she’s don’t call in no one
She’s a wave, a thing, beautiful she’s mine for the one

And I’m also hesitating by temptation lest it runs
Which it don’t follow me
But I’m not there, I’m gone

Now I’ll cry tonight, like I cried the night before
And I’ll feast on her eyes
But I’ll dream about the door
So long, Jesus, savior, blind faith worth to tell
It don’t have consolation she’s my

I was born to love her
But she knows that the kingdom waits so high above her
And I run but I race
But it’s not too fast a pace

Of cource I’ll not deceive her
I’m not there, I’m gone
It’s all about confusion and I cry for her

Land of Talk - It’s Okay

One way road, don’t care what I find
A little thunders good, I thought maybe you would
but it’s okay, we all feel left out
sometimes growing up, it can get you down.

Giving up a life worth leading kills us all
No surprise, the coldest eyes that took all
Giving up a life worth leading tears us down
The longest time, the longest line ever found
Land of talk - Death by Fire

Love is a Laserquest - Arctic Monkeys

I’ve tried to ask you this, in some
daydreams that I’ve had
But you’re always busy, being make believe
And do you look into the mirror,
To remind yourself, you’re there?
Or has somebodies goodnight kisses got that covered?

The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Aceite seus demônios e tenha eles ao teu lado.
Aceite seus defeitos, seus medos e suas vontades.
Aceite teus erros.
Isso nos molda, e nos envolve.
E que venha a vida e tudo que ela pode me trazer.
Estou cansado de viver em mentiras e incertezas.
Respire. Pois viemos da mesma merda e sairemos dela juntos.
O desejo de luta - Vinícius S. Souza

Please understand me
I’m climbin’ through the wreckage
Of all my twisted dreams
But in this cheap investigation just can’t
Stifle all my screams
And I’m waitin’ at the crossroads
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Where are you?

Guns n’ Roses - Coma

Veja o sol
Dessa manhã tão cinza
A tempestade que chega
É da cor dos teus olhos
Castanhos…
Tempo perdido - Legião Urbana
Pra quem passa muito tempo em um quarto fechado, as paredes passam a se mover.
As horas voam, enquanto você se perde em uma tela de um computador ou nas páginas de um livro. Teu corpo congela, tua alma se esmaga entre um cubículo que você chama de quarto. Nessa, que é a tua casa. Mas o que é de verdade? Uma prisão ou um esconderijo?
E dentro da casa, uma outra casa.
Essa, que está na sua cabeça.
Destroçada, cansada, e totalmente intacta por fora. É sempre bom manter a boa imagem.
E você tenta bastante sair dessa casa. Ou não, faz diferente.
Tenta reformar. Tenta mudar a bagunça. Faz isso no seu quarto de verdade e acha que pode fazer o mesmo na sua cabeça. Mas não, tem coisas lá que desabam todo dia um pouco mais.
É difícil de abrir as janelas e deixar entrar um pouco de ar, não é?
Ando pensando em demolir a casa e criar prédio. Ou eu deveria criar um jardim?
Bom, nunca vou saber. Só sei que eu estou tentando e tentando encontrar um jeito mas no final das contas acabo batendo de frente a quem eu era antes.
Mas tudo que buscamos é alguém que nos faça bem. Que diga verdades assim, com um sorriso. Que corra assustada e diga que vai virar exatamente como a mãe dela. Que sabe que é errado mas ainda assim você a quer tanto. A busca, mesmo fugindo dela.
Pra ser sincero, eu acho que essa vida deixou de ser normal a muito tempo atrás.
A vida deixou de ser uma vadia também, claro, ela precisa evoluir também.
A vida como uma eterna mudança. A cada segundo uma nova possibilidade, e a cada segundo uma nova queda. Mas as memórias… bom, elas sempre vão estar lá.
Eu respiro esse ar velho do meu quarto, eu abro a janela pra deixar o frio entrar. Deixo o gosto da vodka tentar melhorar essa madrugada idiota. Deixo o frio preencher o quarto enquanto toca uma música qualquer, em um quarto qualquer. Seria eu um qualquer?
Eu estou sozinho. É, essa é a verdade.
Não tem ninguém por perto que consiga correr da mesma maneira que eu, que consiga se sacrificar assim, nem ninguém que possa fazer isso aliviar. Esse peso é meu, e somente meu. Escondido dos olhos, não importa que cor for. Eu, e essa minha insônia.
Projetos, sonhos, desejos. Vai vir, tudo como eu quis, tudo como eu planejei, acontecendo exatamente como eu queria.
Mas, ainda assim… eu não sou feliz. Eu não estou em paz. Não é pleno.
O que aconteceu comigo? Eu já não sou mais eu mesmo? Eu já deixei de ser quem eu era? Eu esqueci algo no passado? Quem sou eu? Qual o meu propósito nisso tudo? Quem eu devo confiar e quem eu não devo? Por quê?
Eu quero poder sorrir mais uma vez. Eu quero.. eu quero existir.
Mas não importa, não hoje. Hoje eu me escondo nesse quarto e amanhã é um dia novo, e quem sabe eu não saio um pouco daqui.
Quem ama mais é quem sempre se machuca mais. Não era para ser ao contrário? Talvez essa parada toda de amor, de carinho e qualquer coisa do tipo não seja para mim.
Talvez eu devesse passar umas férias em Helsinki mesmo. Kiev, e afins. O frio de lá seria bom para minha cabeça. Isso se eu não me acabasse durante o processo.
Mas sim, eu irei enfrentar meus demônios um dia desses. Mesmo que no passado, eu tenha chamado de anjo. Quanto a mim? Eu não sou de lado algum. Acho que minha luta não vai naquilo que é certo, nem naquilo que é errado mas… naquilo que é justo ou na pergunta que ninguém quer fazer, e na resposta que todo mundo esconde.
Algo em mim sempre disse que minha vida não seria normal. Só não pensava que… iriam acabar tanto assim comigo. Boa noite, seja lá quem vai ler isso aqui.
Entre a insônia e o sono - Vinícius S. Souza

Sometimes the stars -  The Audreys

But sometimes the stars seem closer than they should

Like the more I knew, the less I understood

And the further that you got from me,

The more I felt like I could see

The more I wondered if I should trust the stars

‘Cus sometimes the stars…

Have I ever told you this when I was in your arms? That blue fits in you? Like that ol’ Tom Waits song, troublesome wolf.
