Ray's theme (the Lifehouse Chronicles)

No one knows what its like to be the bad man,
To be the sad man behind blue eyes.
No one knows what its like to be hated,
To be fated to telling only lies.
But my dreams, they aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be.
I have hours, only lonely. My love is vengeance that's never free.

No one knows what its like to feel these feelings
Like I do, and I blame you.
No one bites back as hard on their anger.
None of my pain and woe can show through.
But my dreams, they aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be.
I have hours, only lonely. My love is vengeance that's never free.

When my fist clenches, crack it open before I use it and lose my cool.
When I smile, tell me some bad news before I laugh and act like a fool.
If I swallow anything evil put your finger down my throat.
If I shiver, please give me a blanket.
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat.

No one knows what its like to be the bad man,
To be the sad man behind blue eyes.

Regarding the Loss of Eden

The man who sought, with great magnificence,
To speak the ways of God to man in hope
Of justice dealt to knowledge in the mind
Did spill his mind to think of that great loss
Wherein we lost our bliss and state of grace
To gain that knowledge banned: forbidden fruit.
And as that spilling did commence, the seeds
By which that fruit had borne to earthy air
Did sow a tale that sang of Eve's first sin
Which cast us out of God's full love and trust.
This paradise we lost, though foreborn by
The fall of angels once in league with God,
Did tear my mind through its eternal life
To move past years on years lost in the grasp
Of Time. Those words drown out my mind and wit
As that deluge that drowned the world of sin
To purge the men who turned away from God
For their own love of vice and sinner's song,
Yet saved that righteous Ark and all its kin
Joined with a multitude of ev'ry beast
To start a world anew by Saving Hand
of Grace and God. So too this flood carve strong
The valleys of my mind with its swift words
So as to purge my senseless thoughts of naught
And place in them the magnitude and scope
Of invoked words sent by the Grace of Ghost
To that compellèd man to write the verse
Wherein he'd show the world our earthly roots
That once were placed by God under his watch
Yet lost by Eve to that Infernal Snake.

Post Midterm Report

So just a little report on how I've done on the Midterms and where I'm standing in terms of my grades. Midterm mark in parentheses. Haven't gotten my Day 2 marks yet. Expect a major dropoff for those.

Got the marks for two of the Provincial subjects and, like I predicted, there's a substantial dropoff. That makes my Provincial average 87%. I've never been so happy for a B in my life. Looks like I'm going to Arts at UBC... woooooo.
