Description
Note: I am quoting the lyrics of a song here. I did not come up with the lyrics. I thought it was obvious, but apparently it's not.Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel:
Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools," said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"
---------------------------------------------------------------
I have little else to say. I reckoned this is how it looks behind the mask of those who have to uphold the faΓ§ade of happiness as part of their profession every night.
Drawn with a mouse.
It's pretty rough, but it didn't take me long. So yeah.

Why, thank you.
I used to tell people that it's not quite as hard as it seems. But they don't tend to believe me.

Maybe you have a better mouse than most people? lol
It reminds me of a friend of mine who is a PC gamer, and how he is really good using a mouse for FPSs and couldn't understand how I am so good with a Xbox gamepad. As for me, I prefer the gamepad to the mouse. We came to the conclusion that it just depends what you've gotten used to using.

Haha, probably not.
But I concur - it really comes down to putting some time and effort into the tools you are using.

Why so sad?
Btw, you should credit the song in the description.

Just because.
Why? I didn't credit "Over the Rainbow" either. If people don't know who Simon and Garfunkel are then that's their loss. ^_^

Because some young or unlucky people might not know of them and will think that you came up with those lyrics yourself, and that is not right, imo.

Why dont u ever give yourself more credit think a little less negativley
When we had that convorsation over the request i had u said u did you did want to dissapoint me.

Oh, you get it wrong. I think very highly of myself. Too highly, in fact. I know I could produce even better art if I just put some more effort into it. So I have to criticise myself at every turn. Just to combat the crippling lazyness I suffer from.
I just hope no one else sees me like see myself. Because then their expectations would match my own. And this would ultimately result in mild disappointment.
Oh and I just think modesty is more desirable than boasting. ^_^
I don't necessarly think you'd take offence.

And yes modesty is a lot better than boasting

Let's just leave it that. Too much praise is not good for my ego.
