The comma, in Unicode U+002C , comma (HTML: ,
), is a punctuation mark, and includes several variants in various languages. It has the same shape as an apostrophe or single closing quotation mark in many typefaces, but it differs from them in being placed on the baseline of the text. Some typefaces render it as a small line, slightly curved or straight but inclined from the vertical, or with the appearance of a small, filled-in number 9. It is used to separate parts of a sentence such as clauses, and lists of three or more things.
The comma is used in many contexts and languages, principally for separating things. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word comma comes directly from the Greek komma (κόμμα), which means something cut off or a short clause.
Commas are often used as markers in prose and lists; some are used as diacritics when combined with other characters.
In the 3rd century BC, Aristophanes of Byzantium invented a system of single dots (distinctiones) that separated verses (colometry), and indicated the amount of breath needed to complete each fragment of text, when reading aloud. The different lengths were signified by a dot at the bottom, middle, or top of the line. For a short passage (a komma), a media distinctio dot was placed mid-level ( · ). This is the origin of the concept of a comma, although the name came to be used for the mark itself, instead of the clause it separated.
Peter Gene Hernandez (born October 8, 1985), better known by his stage name Bruno Mars, is an American singer-songwriter and record producer. Raised in Honolulu, Hawaii by a family of musicians, Mars began making music at a young age. He performed in various musical venues in his hometown throughout his childhood. He graduated from high school and then moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue a musical career. Mars produced songs for other artists, joining production team The Smeezingtons.
Mars had an unsuccessful stint with Motown Records, but then signed with Atlantic Records in 2009. He became recognized as a solo artist after lending his vocals and co-writing the hooks for the songs "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B, and "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy. He also co-wrote the hits "Right Round" by Flo Rida featuring Ke$ha, and "Wavin' Flag" by K'naan. In October 2010, he released his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans. Anchored by the worldwide number-one singles "Just the Way You Are" and "Grenade", the album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200. Mars was nominated for seven Grammys at the 53rd Grammy Awards, winning Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Just the Way You Are".
Boundaries far from the world
Maybe I searched myself
But I struggled in every step
My faults became my shame
Expose my feelings
A wind of distrust
Seems like were bleeding
In a life sacrifice
An actor playing a sin
The god you believe
A lyric pretending
There is nothing I fear
Reload my feelings
Sleep on the knives
Shades through my skin
My testimony within
Feel as the knives tear the skin
A shadow appear
A laughter from a sin
My testimony within
Deep inside I feel it rise
No one ever shows inside
Can you name a blackened dream
They never let us to decide
Drowning through the other side
Blasting on the way of the life
Statue of the lust we breed
Will cast another lie
Remote my feelings
Learn through my lies
Pray your god for me
Fall into my eyes
Remote my feelings
Learn through my lies
Can you tear the skin
Elusive dream of falling rain
Trapped beyond the clouds
Shattered image starts to fade
As you turn away...
I know there is nothing left to say
Nothing left to tray
Confusing melodies
I'm the rain
That cries for you
Somehow I let you go
Freedom for one
Still as the water
Breaks the parole
Twisting faces
As you begin to fade
Into the night
Marriage of love with fate
Feel the night, deliver its pain
I can't stand the way you stare
Rusty words unfolds the story
Pride you breed seize the fury
There is this room of light
Heading on the red line
Walls began to tremble
Lights turn into answers
As my girl lie on my shoulders
My soul getting frightened
And I'm running again in your head
well i seem to comprehend
the deed is done i still pretend
a mindless creep, a parasite
unconscious moves i cannot hide
forfeit the game of life and take the chance to runaway
still everything around me chasing in
take back the time and drop me into the sky
let me hit the ground and than i realize
rays of sadness
bearing down on me
circumstances i failed to see
bend and broken
will i ever break the cycle of misery?
rays of sadness
bearing down on me
circumstances i failed to see
bend and broken
will i ever break the cycle of misery?
addicted to unknown, i search the world for answers
defying sounds absurd, don't listen to what i'm saying
to lead myself for reasons, i stood against the god
another dream awaiting, to take my soul tonight
i'm still awaiting, please take me inside
life is waiting, don't push me aside
now i just step aside to let your hands forgive me
you lost the iron grip my soul is free
you need to surrender before you understand
i know it's hard, just try and pretend
forfeit the game of life and take the chance to runaway
still everything around me chasing in
take back the time and drop me into the sky
let me hit the ground and than i realize
rays of sadness
bearing down on me
circumstances i failed to see
bend and broken
Visions breakthrough
As I am drowned inside of you
Ways to escape
Been minimized and guarded by you
Scanning my mind
To free myself, to analyze
Stream of fate
Come over us, comes over us
Though I fade away
My soul will stay in this hell
I can't break away
Unreal, unmasked ecstasy of descent
Blind my thoughts
Left me in this hell
Banned and ruined
Recalling every sign of fall
So deceiving
I never try to hear their call
The air I'm breathing
Will slowly fade until I'm gone
My habits breaking
Can I Face the scream of life
When thought begins to cry
Only one thing left to find
We spin in the ancient lies
Scream of fate, fast disguise
We fall in the maze again
Dreams which have paralyzed
Eluding face fears something
I bearly see walls bending
Wide spaces, flashing lights
Demonstrating endless cries
Trying to call the hope
And Faith that guides us all
And the answers to our dreams
Love and the pain is the key
Of every virtue of soul
Our life...
When thought begins to cry
Only one thing left to find
We spin in the ancient lies
Scream of fate, fast disguise
We fall in the maze again
Dreams which have paralyzed
Eluding face fears something
I bearly see walls bending
Wide spaces, flashing lights
Demonstrating endless cries
Trying to call the hope
And Faith that guides us all
And the answers to our dreams
Love and the pain is the key
Of every virtue of soul
we're two sun in the same sky
we fell apart and thoughts gone dry
let me hear my voice
i'll speak for myself
crossing roads in a one way street
one led to fear, one led to tear
a simple courage, an understanding
and now there's nothing left for me to do
can you say my friend what's there inside of you
am i scared? or am i letting you down
alone at night, dreams eluding
i turn off the light, i know you're watching
you sense the fire and push me aside
we're two sun in the same lie
lived the dream and then fall apart
let me hear her voice
dance in the parade of fire
fear and suspicion turns you on
you can't take me home i've gone too far
as the hands of the night lifts me up
it's time to move on
i'm anxious to find all my answers
sometimes i really wonder if we exist just to live and
there has to be some questions and answers to find
isn't it funny most people pray when they are lonely,
depressed, lost
means we're religious when we are desperate, am i
wrong?
this is not who i am
walking through shadows bleeding snow
i saw my name carved on the stone
a solid ground a hidden rose
i lay beside a curtain wall
certain things i'll never know
haunting me as i fall
now the clowns laughing me
and they all know the story
there's a life to be found
when we're free as god
pray for the night
see the stars living in your hands
rain will start to fall
when we're free as god
as i dream of me
someone other than me
fading into reality
crawling to myself, this place i've never been
restless in this bed, don't know what to believe
a hybrid child will born deep inside of me
be free as the god change the world with me
as i dream of me
someone other than me
fading into reality
now the clowns laughing you
and we all know the story
love will be true
when you're free as god
this time i believe
i can reach for something we deceived
life will be ours
when we're free as god
read between the lines
take the chance for eternity
time will be ours
when we're free as god
let the sun rise from west
let your fears lay down to rest
than we realize
And the rain begins to fall, so quiet and slow
Every drop and the sparkles on my window
When the thunder brakes
It reminds me the words that I can't let you know
That I can't let you know
Though I want you to hear
The pain you drive stops me
Just like the nightmare pulling me down
You never let me see the light
Hopelessly running through an endless black
You're the elusive dream of my life
I know you're sleeping
Your face I wonder
Thunder breaks and wakes you up
And we're awake
For different reasons I'm afraid
Just another fear to escape
Just like the nightmare pulling me down
You never let me see the light
Hopelessly running through an endless black
You're the elusive dream of life
Days spin around, still I dream
A smile means everything
Candles surround me
The ethereal light above disappear
Screaming help as I beg
To a deaf angel lying in my hand
This cold morning that you leave...
Beyond my dreams tonight
Somewhere I can't decide
She says "Walk with me as I fade"
A vivid vision inside my head
Whispering the fears I had
"She looked right into my eyes"
When those voices help me to
Turn all my love into
An endless pain I never tasted
Cold, as I invite the pain, I won't be afraid
Do you hear me?
Silence clipped my wings
Do you feel me?
I am quite as the wind
I will stand tall and never brake, till you gone away
Lost in the lie of this fate, where shadows laugh in
vain.
And all those fantasies we made, Will slowly drift away
Lost and denied by myself, I'll be living the stage.
It's time to feel
It's time to raise the dead
This devotion made me blind
And now it's so hard to say
This cold surprise
Won't you set me free
I'll walk away, sounds call insane,
As time runs through my head
I'll lead the way
I will stand tall and never brake, till you gone away
Broken dreams in my hand, live inside but been delayed
When all those memories we had, watch me as I fade
yellow clouds flying high
the rain comes down
won't you cry?
won't you try?
she put her claws on your face
a black cat by your her side
she's standing
standing still
your blue smile staring at mei
dared to touch
but i'm so blind to seize the light
she's something, something else
she's something, something else
the rain falls and she takes me there
the rain falls and i feel the end
she's something, something else
she's something, something else
the rain falls and she takes me there
the rain falls and i feel the end
confronting to another mind
confusing scenes an endless ride
inspirations trapped arise
distant waves distant smiles
screaming girl what's there to hide
suffer through my words and petrify
i'll be your vanity
my reality is forbidden by your hands
you stood in front of me
staring consciously
and told me what i need is to escape
“it's never enough” she says quietly
“i'll be your circle of integrity”
“my offer still stands won't you come with me”?
“you're all alone waiting for
someone to come and take you home”
“i think you're blind just hear my song”
she's something, something else
she's something, something else
the rain falls and she takes me there
the rain falls and i feel the end
she's something, something else
she's something, something else
the rain falls and she takes me there
the rain falls and i feel the end
i know something to believe
cos everything i ever done can't be wrong
your precious boy little toy laughing you all
never fearing the unknown
can you end my misery?
well i don't care what is meant for you to be
i'm sick of it
all this games, all those names
there's nothing left for me to say
cold embrace, she offered to me
cold embrace, her eternity
i'll be your vanity
my reality is forbidden by your hands
you stood in front of me
staring consciously
Step inside thru the sounds recall
Distorted melody in the wall
Frightened as I came so close
Wandering if I want to do?
Secrets hidden calling
Afraid to see, it’s coming on
There’s a box appear in shadows
I can’t wait to open it all
The clown and its fate converges
As pride and death embrace
And his eyes will tell the story
His sorrow made the scene
And the crowd applaud
As the show starts to thrill
And his smile reveals the story
Staring thru his eyes
Sick and paralyzed
Mystery in his smile
Clenched inside a lie
Clown:
Sorry to cut your story!!!
It’s been so long
I drifted away
On this endless torture made me blind
All these times I can’t be with you,
But now it’s time to meet again
Something inside controls yourself
You’ll hope something to find in yourself
The clown and its fate converges
As pride and death embrace
And his eyes will tell the story
His sorrow made the scene
And the crowd applaud
As the show starts to thrill
And his smile lives inside me
You think it’s just a dream
You think I’m falling down
You think I’m just a smile
You think I’m just a dream but it’s not
You think I’m falling down but I’m not
Don’t think I’m lying you, ‘cos it’s right
You think I’m just a clown, but I’m not
Now you know the mystery
It’s time to know the rest
You’ll join inside this endless story
sleeping near your fear
share my burden if i fall to deep
and everything i own
this cell i belong
never seem to bend
and life will be down
if you fade away from the sun
don't you stare
if i stumble into the night
let me seize the pleasure
then i'll share my hands with you
suprising little words
brought me back to you
just keep me away
beyond the walls of faith
disturbing scenes i'm trying to forget
once those memories i lived
calling me again
this time it's for real
delusions inside my head
as we kiss the blue disguise
i thought i'm falling
i'm falling from the edge
we'll find the secret above the clouds
i thought i'm falling
i'm calling you my friend
its sounds so unfair
i lift you up and brought you back my friend
but i'm refusing to stay far away
from the pain it drives you mad
