quote:I know that I am not alive, no more than the ghosts around me. But I am not dead either. I do not know what I am, nor why I am here. I do not know how to feel the breath of the living, nor the ice of the dead. But I do know this; if one day I do meet my Demise, I hope that the Creator has Pity on my empty soul, seeing as I have tried my best in this world of such darkness.
What do you see when you look into the mirror? A lost child wandering the streets, hope leeching out with every stumbling step? Or maybe a broken man, crushed by years of angry failure? I see all of that and more, every day that I have sat here, watching the world above. They say that Death is a monster, something to be feared. And they say that the Dead suffer, full of regret. But I can tell you this; Death is a mercy, and the Dead do not feel.

~ Pity ~ by Bad Religion
I show pity on the human race
On the ignorant plenty who devote their lives
To an icon that they've never known
I show pity on eons past
When a clever man started the first civilization
And human aggression was born
I show pity on the future to come
When the government systems will be omnipotent
And we'll be worse off than we are now
Pity, pity
On the billions of ignorant people
Pity, pity
On the masses of aggression
Pity, pity
On the future centuries to come
On the billions of ignorant people
On the future centuries to come
On the masses of aggression
It's all a matter of looking at the past
It's all a question, "Are we going to last?"
If we endure the aggression that's inside all of us
We'll wipe out our own species and thus the world
Pity, pity
On the masses of aggression
On the billions of ignorant people
On the future centuries to come
On the masses of ignorant people
On the future centuries to come
If lost, return to my master.
