Can you feel the pains in life?

Since I have nothing else to say, but feel I should post...

1. Open up iTunes or the equivalent (or if you prefer, use your MP3 player)
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Play 21 songs.
4. If you come across an instrumental song, skip it and play another song instead. Otherwise, no skipping!
5. Write down the first line of each of the first twenty songs. This is your poem. You can't change the line order, but you can group the stanzas however you like.
6. The first line of the twenty-first song is your poem's title.


And so, the king, is once again my guest
I am so alone in this world of water
Make me, take me, break me, I am pierced

From the street I heard you callin'
Clouds rolling in on moving shadows
It's six am, I'm so tired
Leaves have fallen all around
We've been sitting on the fence for far too long

To the brothers and the sisters
inside me there's a child afraid of growing up
You'll be fine tomorrow, the sun will rise

Yah, we bout to do this
Start it up turn it on we can ride this storm

We used to think that ignorance is bliss
Haunted by a jaded past
I've been hiding, hiding for so long
Looking down, above, as you watch tv
pardon me mister, i don't think i know you
I must have been confused or vain
I wrote you a letter, things could be better
