"For me, Comfortably Numb is an introspective song - it's me acknowledging that I'm older now. I'm saying to the younger generation: you have two choices: you can keep the fire burning or you can give up. I'm trying to make sense of what's going on, but I'm also pointing out that we're all in a position where we don't have to face reality. We have flat screen TVs and popcorn, and we can just sit back and watch the chaos of the world like a TV show. It doesn't feel real until it shows up on our doorstep. I'm a little numb too - we all are," Ice-T says on the track.

How did I get here?
Sitting on this spinning sphere
When will I leave here
We know death is always near
I try to understand but answers don't come easily
Friends always deceiving me
Is this what life's supposed to be?
Human animals
We roam the earth in search of blood
Hope for humanity?
I don't think there ever was
We're in perpetual war and that's the only law
Can I change it? I doubt it
So I write songs about it
I was young once but now I've grown old
Right in front of your eyes you've seen my life unfold
I had no choice as I became the underdog's voice
A young black kid… look what the f**k I did!
When I'm gone there'll be someone to carry on
We can give in, give up, or we can stay strong
How accepting of the bulls**t we've all become
This whole world is… comfortably numb

Hello... is anyone out there? Can anyone hear me?

You've got a TV, a computer, so you don't care
A roof, some clothes, some food
That's right, it's all there
Lock yourself in your house, try to forget about it
The millions dyin' from wars, starvation and drought
You've got your own problems - yes, we all do
Nobody is free from stress, not him or me or you
But still we judge each other, we want to pick a fight
In the streets we kill each other, each and every weeknight
I don't want no drama but I carry a gun
I don't want no problems but they'll probably come
So we get high to wash away the pain
Self-medication, but that shit is all done in vain
We think that we can hide away from the misery
You can close your eyes but still can clearly see
There's nowhere to run...
You're just comfortably numb

Hello... is anyone out there? Can anyone hear me?
Hello... is anyone out there? Can anyone hear me?

I spent half my life just trying to survive
And the other helped trying to keep you all alive
For some reason I still care
I've done my dirt
It's amazing that I'm still here
There's true EVIL out there, I've been trying to warn you
You could meet the Devil himself, then what you gonna do?
No time to pray, no chance to run
Listen… 'cause I've been on both sides of the gun
As you stand before me we're all here as ONE
We gotta come together or our chances are none
Maybe I'm just a dreamer, too many obstacles
The thought of humans coexisting, that's impossible
Better to stay numb, live in denial
We're all going to hell and we did it to ourselves
Too much religious beef, too much racist s**t
And if there is a God we probably make him sick

Hello... is anyone out there? Can anyone hear me?
Hello... is anyone out there? Can anyone hear me?

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
