First of all, if you should read this, LeaderOfMen ... it's not about you, but I found inspiration in your nickname.
This, unfortunately, is what it turned out to be, sorry I couldn't make it about shiny, happy people




Man is but a puny pile of bones
Bloated with its own illusions

As the Leader Of Men, I am everything but God
I am merely the most pathetic one of them
Utmost disillusioned by my own beliefs
And in this free world, my pessimistic point of view was all
That kept my ever growing flock
From following me into the eerie depths of the human mind
Surf little waves big... Charge big waves hard

    There is a Nickleback song of the same name:

    Tell your friends not to think out loud
    Until they swallow
    Whisper things into my brain
    Your voice sounds so hollow
    I am not a leader of men
    Since I prefer to follow
    Do you think I could have a drink
    Since it's so hard to swallow
    Yeah so hard to swallow

    Turn your television off
    And I will sing and I a song
    And if you suddenly have the urge
    Well you can sing along
    I touch your hand I touch your face
    I think the fruit is rotten
    Give me lessons on how to breathe
    Cos I think I've forgotten
    Yeah I think I've forgotten

    One day up to the cliff
    That overlooks the water
    I jumped in to save a girl
    It was somebody's daughter
    And now the ring that's on my hand
    Was given to me by her
    And to this day we all sit around
    And dream of ways to get higher
    Yeah
    To get much higher

    Oww

    Tell your friends not to think out loud
    Until they swallow
    Whisper things into my brain
    Your voice sounds so hollow uyeah
    I am not a leader of men
    Since I prefer to follow
    Do you think I could have a drink
    Since it's so hard to swallow
    Yeah so hard to swallow.

    lol.:)
    Can not be arsed with life no more.
