How can they ask why I feel so angry.

I wish you only understood...

The Shade of Poison Trees

"The Shade Of Poison Trees"

by Dashboard Confessional

If you knew,What I know,Would you try?

Before your time has run on you and worn you down would you know, what you desire, in your heart?

Is there time? Is there time? To follow just one desire?

Is there time? Is there time, To follow your heart?

Dress your wounds

Test your strength

Face the night

Crave the touch

Feel the pain

Know the signs

Is there truth, In your pain?

You decide if you knew, what I know, would you try?

Is there time? Is there time? To follow just one desire?
Is there time? Is there time, To follow your heart?

As we lie in the shade of poison trees

Are we as safe as we let ourselves believe?

Daniel Johnston: Hi, How Are You?

I'm not a productive person over the Summer, unless I'm working. So finding ways to spend my day productively always seems like a challenge for me; but today I learnt a few things.


I just spent 2hrs watching a documentary about The Devil and Daniel Johnston, and I'm amazed at how amazing he was. This guy showed no limit when it came to his creative side, he made music based on anything and everything. My favorite scene is when he's back home and on his meds, and someone asks him if he has trouble writing music due to the effects of medication. He answered yes, and then proceeded to sing a song based on how he couldn't make music while on meds. Like common, you have to love how effortless his talent is.


So I came to the conclusion that Daniel Johnston deserves a spot on my list of awesomeness. He really is awesome, especially for someone who's basically lived half of his entire life in a mental hospital. I almost feel incompetent compared to him, creative wise that is. Plus I admire his craziness.
