What's Wrong With This Picture?
Key To Escape
Water flows, into wells,
We are falling in space
Watch and learn, endless burn
You’re the key to escape
Darkness falls, save us all,
Darkened volumes of space
Hit the wall, hear them call,
"You are destined to be great!"
Wind it blows, fast and slow
Flow into the atmosphere of space
Feel the cold, all alone
You bring warmth to this place
Earth and sun, into one
Solar flares into space
That's the goal, to make you whole,
Don't let life go to waste

Rebirth
I was right, now I'm wrong
Always meek, never strong,
There are too many maybe's round here
I was flesh, now I'm bone
Sirens screaming, in the storm
There are too many shipwrecks round here
I was sea, now I'm earth,
Always death turned rebirth
There are too many warriors round here

Too Many Doors
There are too many walls,
And too many safes,
There are too many doors,
And halls in this place
There are too many panic rooms,
And too many gates,
There are too many wounds,
And not enough ways
There are too many stairs,
And not enough space,
There are too many cobblestones
And too slow a pace
There are too many sounds,
And too many graves,
There are too many loves,
And too many hates

Sunlight
I walk through the valley on the sequence of sunlight,
I walk through the desert on the brightest of days
Here's to the hope of a future of prospects,
Here's the blood of the solders erased
I walk through the darkness on pillars of moonbeams
I walk through the silence all but alone
Here's to the noose that they fit around your neck
Here's to the prisoner that is counting his days
I walk through the remander of distance and defects
I walk through the fog that you all call the day
Here's to the heros that we've long forgotten
Here's to the terror that we never have to face

Riddles
Let's talk about pieces,
And early graves,
Follow roads to nowhere,
And get enslaved,
To the keeper,
A thirst you quench,
These riddles goes deeper
Deeply entrenched
A thousand echoes,
A single word,
An endless staircase,
The riddles heard
I dreamed of escaping,
Ideas to brim,
I am overtaken
I am underpinned
Understand these riddles,
These heavy words,
Undermine the structure
Of the absurd
I may be weakened,
But these are facts,
Its birth without freedom,
This too shall pass

iPhone 4
The cameras are nice but not as great as I was hoping. The back camera is pretty nice but the front one is notiably lacking.
The battery is great. I love the compass since it shows you the direction you are facing on the map. Make sure you calibrate it though. Otherwise it could point totally the wrong way. The voice quality is great.
Now I did experience 2 issues. First in just 2 days I got a nasty scratch on the back apple logo. Second, in weak cell areas I do see the bars drop like so many people have reported. I got a clearish white Belkin case which seems to alleviate both issues. I kinda feel apple may have know about the antenna issue and should have included a free bumper to prevent it.
All in all I love the new phone. I just wish apple handled the pre order better, included the bumper, and made the glass harder to scratch.

We Hold These Truths
You'll never know what we've learned to fear,
What have you learned, in your time here?
What have you learned, what have you learned?
We hold these truths, we hold these truths
We hold these truths, we hold these truths
We hold these truths, to be self evident, oh-oh
To be self evident, oh-oh, to be self evident
We're broken men, with bloodstained hands,
We're all alone, inside our heads,
Where are you from, is this your land?
Where are your from, where are you from?
We hold these truths, we hold these truths
We hold these truths, we hold these truths
We hold these truths, to be self evident, oh-oh
To be self evident, oh-oh, to be self evident
When in the course of human events,
We take on kings, and governments,
Who rules you now, we don't need rules,
Who rules you now, don't be fooled
We hold these truths, we hold these truths
We hold these truths, we hold these truths
We hold these truths, to be self evident, oh-oh
To be self evident, oh-oh, to be self evident
We break our bread, they temper steel,
They steal our crops, how does it feel?
How do you live, you must be mad,
How do you live, how do you live?
We hold these truths, we hold these truths
We hold these truths, we hold these truths
We hold these truths, to be self evident, oh-oh
To be self evident, oh-oh, to be self evident
They call him Despot, they call him King,
When armies fall bells will ring,
Why are you here, don't live in fear,
Why are you here, why are you here?
We hold these truths, we hold these truths
We hold these truths, we hold these truths
We hold these truths, to be self evident, oh-oh
To be self evident, oh-oh, to be self evident
