My Life is very simple,my life is for all to see.You see my life is transparent,just like the sea.I wish this was someone else's life,I wish that I was free.My life is wracked with pain,I know others can see!Take me for what I,m worth,they say.Embracing only love is the final key.Unlock my heart and set me free and I will speak my mind,cause this is my life!

  • Break free.
    Don't let the pain devour you.
    Suck it up!
    It makes you who you are!
    Embrace it!
    Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen
  • I actually wrote this song about somebody else's life. Anyway, here goes:

    (1)
    Spacey sits in his room
    With his stretchy-glass time
    Wrapped about him like a flashback...
    And he says he once had words
    Till the late nights took hold
    To keep him trapped along the numbtrack....

    And he says:
    "All my life I've been selling my dreams
    out the backdoor
    All these years I've been selling my dreams out the backdoor:
    For someone else's thrill...."

    (2)
    Spacey waits through the years
    Hurling stones at the Wear
    while all his old friends leave for new towns...
    From Salem Hill to Low Row
    He's seen them trip and them blow
    To buy a necktie on their comedown...

    He says:
    "Now's the time of the ghost
    Of bad deals from the past
    When I failed to scratch the pain out.
    If you wester too far
    You end up back where you were
    With no more highs to blot the shame out.

    'And I can't see my mother on her sickbed...
    If she saw me she'd....
    die.....


    (CHORUS)
    'And all your good times
    All your smiles
    They're on my weights and scales....
    I've always been for someone else:
    Someone else's thrill....

    And all my life I've been selling my dreams out the backdoor
    For someone else's thrill
    All these years I've been selling my dreams out the backdoor
    For someone else's thrill
    All these years I've been selling my dreams out the backdoor:
    Someone else's thrill
    All my life I've been selling my
    dreams out the backdoor
    For someone else's thrill

    All your good times
    All your smiles
    They're on my weights and scales
    I've always lived for someone else:
    Someone else's thrill.....
