    My lips are shaking, my nails are bit off
    Been a month since I heard myself talk
    All the advantage this life's got on me
    Picture a cup in the middle of the sea

    And I fight back in my mind
    Never lets me be right
    I got memories, I got shit
    So much it don't show

    I walked the line
    When you held me in that night
    I walked the line
    When you held my hand that night ...

    Well, actually the lyrics kinda defined me once, not anymore :) Still, some of my favourite PJ lyrics.

    I have a lot as Im sure many of you do.

    Today the line that best suites me is:
    "All my rivals will see what I have in store....my gun"

    jk
    You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets, oh
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense is my real one
    speaking as a child who shouldve have been a teen in the 90's

    I gather speed from you fucking with me
    Once and for all I'm far away
    I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...

    Helped cope in some tough times.

    3 of my faves

    Push me and I will resist...this behavior's not unique


    I remember when
    I swore I knew everything
    Let's say knowledge is a tree
    It's growing up just like me


    Oh, I could be new... you underestimate me....

    Sometimes realize, I could only be as good as you'll let me
    Are you woman enough to be my man?
    Bandaged hand in hand

    oh and ALL OF RELEASE :D

    The waiting drove me mad...you're finally here and I'm a mess

    Stunned by my own reflection
    It's looking back, sees me too clearly
    And I swore I'd never go there again

    Gave her life away,...
    Put it in my pocket when it shoulda been framed.
    Oh, I lost its shine.
    Gotta get this outta my head,...

    And if there's something you'd like to do. Just let me continue to blame you.

    Believe in nothing, believe me,
    Those who can be trusted can change their mind.
    When the anxious is the present, unwrap your gifts, take your time.
    Everything you imagine needn't be stuck in your mind.

    I wonder bout his insides...
    Its like his thoughts are too big for his size
    He's been taken... where? I don't know... off he goes
    With his perfectly... unkept hope... there he goes... **change any male references to female, and that's pretty much me...
    love is all good people need....and music sets the sick ones free...

    I forgot about this one...my favourite lines are...

    Ill just lie alone and wait for the dream
    Where Im not ugly and your looking at me
    and Ill stare you back
    what a blue-eyed scene
    If just once I could feel loved
    Oh stare back at me

    For all the lonely hearts out there...
    Im so happy with my righteous self..

    I have two favorites:

    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    If you hate something, don't you do it too.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I don't know about defining but I've always loved these lyrics:

    Cannot find a candle of thought to light your name.

    My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return.
    But now here you are and here I am.

    When he reached the shore of his clip on world he resurfaced to the norm.
    Organized his few things. His coat and keys.
    And he knew realizations would have to wait.
    Till he had more time. More time.

    "On empty shells seem so easy to crack

    Don't know who I could even ask
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin at me "

    Some words when Spoken Can't be taken back

    Ill ride the wave where it takes me

    A Human being that was given to fly

    I am Mine

    Cause he's the man of the hour, taking his final bow

    Let it all wash away, all those yesterdays

    Live in the present tense

    RVM really helped me through a couple of months last year;
    'I guess it was the beatings, made me wise' + 'I gather speed from you fuckin with me'

    This year, it's all been about Inside Job;

    I was walking to my bus stop a last week and it was like 6:30am and it was really foggy out (My favorite weather) and when I crossed the street and looked up past the trees you could see nothing but a clear and bright moon illuminating the sky. I put Unthought Known and repeat and it was pure bliss.
