He could've tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, 'Hey, look at me now'
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh
He's.. flying.....whole
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that i saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And i don't think i can look at this the same
But all these miles that seperate
Disappear now when i'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And i dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life was overrated
But i hope that it gets better as we go
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And i dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me
Everything i know,and anywhere i go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And i dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me
If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.
You tell me you don't love me over a cup of coffee
And I just have to look away
A million miles between us
Planets crashing to dust
I just let it fade away
I'm walking empty streets hoping we might meet
I see your car parked on the road
The light on at your window
I know for sure that you're home
But I just have to pass on by
So no of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still this obsessed
I guess I always knew the score
This is how our story ends
I smoke your brand of cigarettes
And pray that you might give me a call
I lie around in bed all day just staring at the walls
Hanging round bars at night wishing I had never been born
And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home
So no of course we can't be friends
Not while I still feel like this
I guess I always knew the score
This is where our story ends
You left behind some clothes
My belly summersaults when I pick them off the floor
My friends all say they're worried
I'm looking far too skinny
I've stopped returning all their calls
And no of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still so obsessed
I want to ask where I went wrong
But don't say anything at all
It took a cup of coffee
To prove that you don't love me
*sigh* Reik (scrambled)
How dark a woe! yet how sublime a hope!
How silently serene a sea of pride!
How daring an ambition! yet how deep--
How fathomless a capacity for love!
I shut and locked the front door
No way in or out
I turned and walked the hallway
And pulled the curtains down
I knelt and emptied the mouth
Of every plug around
But nothing's sound
Ohhh, nothing's sound
I'd stay here where my last step left me
Ignored all my rounds
Soon I was seeing visions
And cracks along the walls
Ohhh
They were upside down
Ohhh
I swallow my words to keep from lying
I swallow my fist just to keep from biting, biting, biting
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving
I surfaced when all of my being was enlightened
Now, I'm
I'm in hiding, yeah
I'm in hiding, yeah, yeah
I'm in hiding
It's been about three days now since I've been aground
No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
It's funny when things change so much
It's all a state of mind
I swallowed my words to keep from lying
I swallowed my fist just to keep from biting, biting, biting
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, I was diving
I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened
Now, I'm
I'm in hiding, yeah
I'm in hiding, yeah, yeah
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding, yeah, yeah
I'm in hiding, yeah
I'm in hiding.
It's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going
Broken skyline, movin' through the airport
She's an honest defector
Conscientious objector
Now her own protector
Time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going
Sometime later, getting the words wrong
Wasting the meaning and losing the rhyme
Nauseous adrenalin
Like breakin' up a dogfight
Like a deer in the headlights
Frozen in real time
I'm losing my mind
It's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going

The time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say...
My friends from high school
Married their high school boyfriends
Moved into houses
In the same zip codes where their parents live
But I
I could never follow
I hit the highway
In a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
Lived like a gypsy
Six strong hands on the steering wheel
I've been a long time gone now
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
But I've always found my way somehow
By takin' the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way around
I met the queen of whatever
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies
Moved with the shakers
Wouldn't kiss all the asses they told me to
No I
I could never follow
No I
I could never follow
It's been two long years now
Since the top of the world came crashing down
And I'm getting it back on the road now
But I'm takin' the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way around
The long
The long way around
Well I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself
But I
I could never follow
No I
I could never follow
Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found
Takin' the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way around
~Dixie Chicks
The time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say...
Some people think I'm crazy
But try to understand
I get satisfaction
Out of everything I can
The losers and the winners
The laughter and the tears
The noises of the day to day
Is music to my ears
And I like it
Yeah, I like it
Gonna live it up this time
And dance like the song is never ending
Gonna get so high tonight
You won't be able to bring me down
'Cause I like it
Yeah, I like it
Driving down the highway
The wind is in my hair
And if I hit a traffic jam
I swear that I won't care
Livin' the lows
Makin' the highs that much higher
And the sun will shine through
The smoke and the fire of love
Whoa, love
Gonna ride this merry-go-round
And dance like the night is never ending
Gonna get to high on life
You won't be able to bring me down
'Cause I like it
Yeah, I like it
Oh baby, I like it
A sea
Couldn't wash away
The happiness I've come to find since love
Has taught me how to break
Break these chains that hold me back
Noisy streets and the
Sleepy bars and the
Neon signs and the
Rusty cars
How many nights have I wondered how
One goes through life without
Seeing the beauty of love
Gonna live it up this time
And dance like the song is never ending
Gonna get so high tonight
You won't be able to bring me down
And I like it
Yeah, I like it
Whoa baby, I like it
Oh yeah, I like it
~Dixie Chicks
The time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say...
Sunday morning
I heard the preacher say
Thou shalt not kill
I don't wanna hear nothing else
About killing and that it's God's will
Cause our children are watching us
They put their trust in us
They're gonna be like us
So let's learn from our history
And do it differently
I hope
For more love, more joy and laughter
I hope
We'll have more than we'll ever need
I hope
We'll have more happy ever afters
I hope
We can all live more fearlessly
And we can lose all the pain and misery
Rosie, her man, he gets too rough
And all she can say
Is he's a good man, he don't mean no harm
He was just brought up that way
But our children are watching us
They put their trust in us
They're gonna be like us
It's okay for us to disagree
We can work it out lovingly
I hope
More love, more joy, more laughter
I hope
You'll have more than you'll ever need
I hope
You'll have more happy ever afters
I hope
You can all live more fearlessly
And you can lose all your pain and misery
I hope
There must be a way
To change what's going on
No, I don't have all the answers
But I hope
I hope...
~Dixie Chicks
The time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say...
Oh please let it rain today. This city's so filthy. Like my mind in ways.
Oh it was the time. Like a clean new taste.
Smiling eyes before me and tears from my face.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah.
Sin for sale. Buying just a need. O who planted all the devils seeds?
And what's the truth? And the truth that lies at home.
It's on the inside and I can't get it off. Yeah.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah.
What's clean is pure. But hey, I'm white on the outside. Though I stray.
What she don't know today might kill us both tomorrow. Bring it back someway.
Bring it back, back, back... to the clean form. To the pure form.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Yeah
Wash my ...wash my...wash my love....yeaaaaaaahhhhhhh
sexy, sexy.....and a happy, happy 40th birthday to mr. dream. wash my love indeed.
I'm not waiting around for a man to save me
'Cause I'm happy where I am
Don't depend on a guy to validate me
No, no
I don't need to be anyone's baby
Is that so hard to understand?
No, I don't need another half to make me whole
Make your move if you want
Doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up
You either got it or you don't
This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm trading places
Right now a star's in the ascendant
I'm single
Right now
That's how I wanna be
I'm single
Right now
That's how I wanna be
Ah, yeah
Uh, huh that's right
Don't need to be on somebody's arm to look good
I like who I am
I'm not saying I don't wanna fall in love 'cause I would
I'm not gonna get hooked up just 'cause you say I should
Can't romance on demand
I'm gonna wait so I'm sorry if you misunderstood
This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm trading places
Right now a star's in the ascendant
Everything in its right time
Everything in its right place
I know I'll settle down one day
But 'til then I like it this way
It's my way
I like it this way
Make your move if you want
Doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up
You either got it or you don't
'Til then I'm single
This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant
I'm single, ohhh
That's how I wanna be.
I...
I always thought that I knew
I'd always have the right to
Be living in the kingdom of the good and true
It's so long that now I think I was wrong
And you were laughing along
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on...
My side,
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Sometimes...
It's hard to know where I stand
It's hard to know where I am
Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand
Sometimes
I get the feeling that I'm
Stranded in the wrong time
Where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days
After all the misery made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?
Nothing left inside this old cathedral
Just the sad, lonely spires
How do you make it right?
Oh, but you try
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days
After all the misery made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?
You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them up
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew
If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.
You cannot quit me so quickly
Is no hope in you for me
No corner ycould squeeze me
But Ive got all the time for you, love
The space between, the tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The space between, the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain
Will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like will it rain today?
We waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games were playing
Were strange allies
With warring hearts
What a wild-eyed beast you be
The space between, the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain
Will I hold you again?
Will I hold you...
Look at us spinning out in the madness of a rollercoaster
You know you went off like the devil in a church
In the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we dont take this ship down
The space between, where you smile and hide
Where youll find me if I get to go
The space between, the bullets in our fire fight
Is where Ill be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls splashed in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into your room
The space between, our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain
Take my hand
cause were walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need dear
The space between, whats wrong and right
Is where youll find me hiding, waiting for you
The space between, your heart and mine
Is a space well fill with time
The space between...
You ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
She want me!
Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Your mind won't ever, never let you say what you want
You howl and wail like a banshee
Still your mind wont ever let you say
Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Your mind won't ever, never let you say what you want
My little tired devotee
Your mind don't even let you feel
Quivering now, shivering now, withering
Your mind won't let you say that you're
Wondering now, pondering now, hungering
Won't let you say that you're
Questioning, wavering, weakening
You mind won't let you say that you're
Hearkening, listening, heeding me now
Won't let you say that you want
Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Your mind won't ever, never let you have what you want
I feel your hunger to taste me
Still your mind won't ever let you say
Your kind is just the type that should use me
But your mind won't seem to let you have
The opportunity to abuse me
Your mind won't even let you feel
Quivering now, shivering now, withering
Your mind won't let you say that you're
Wondering now, pondering now, hungering
Won't let you say that you're
Questioning, wavering, weakening
You mind won't let you say that you're
Hearkening, listening, heeding me now
Won't let you say that you want...me
Savor the addiction, savor the affliction, savor me
Savor the addiction, savor the affliction[2x]
Savor the addiction, savor the affliction
Savor me, savor her mind
Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Because your mind won't let you say that you want me
Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Because Your mind won't let you say
That you want me to want me
Your mind won't let you say
That you want me to want me
Mind won't let you say
That you want me to want me
Won't let you say
That you want me to want me
What do you want?[4x]
You ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last stand
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever come around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
You ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
Save me from this prison
Lord help me get away
Cause only you can save me now from this misery
I've been lost in my own place
And I'm getting weary
How far is heaven
And I know that I need to change my ways of living
How far is heaven
Lord can you tell me
I've been locked up way too long in this crazy world
How far is heaven
And I just keep on praying Lord and just keep on living
How far is heaven
Yeah, Lord can you tell me
How far is heaven (I just gotta know how far, yeah)
How far is heaven (Yeah, Lord can you tell me)
Tu que estas en alto cielo
Echame tu bendicion
Cause I know there's a better place than this place I'm living
How far is heaven
And I just got to have some faith and "just" keep on giving
How far is heaven (Yeah, Lord can you tell me)
How far is heaven (I just got to know how far, yeah)
How far is heaven (Yeah, Lord can you tell me)
How far is heaven
Cause I just gotta know how far...
I just wanna know how far
You ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
I don't know why but I'm tired of my mind
Pain is over me, overloading
I don't know why but you're trying to be kind
Take off your silver smile, throw your head back
And cry
I don't believe but I'm trying to decide
Which game is best for me, which can I bare
You don't perseve so I'm leading you away
Home were you've never been, non-returning
So cry
Throw a rock upon the road and it breaks into pieces
Shake brach upon the snow and the sun is defeated
Pull the curtains on yesterday and it seems so much later
Put a bullet in my brain and I'll make all the papers
I don't know why but I'm tired of my life
The clouds are in my eyes, overtaking
You ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
This empty room it fills my mind
Freedom it leaves me so confined
Every single bone has cracked
But in this life, you can't turn back
I don't want to live
I don't want to live here alone, alone, alone, alone
As these words part with my tongue
I question why they're even sung
I promise but I lie
I don't even know myself inside
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be here alone, alone, alone, alone
Today and tomorrow have become one
Every single thing has become none
Human nature is a beast
What ive done the most, to show i have the least
Please don't leave me here
Please don't leave me here
Don't you leave me alone, alone, alone
````
goodbye
hasn't been so good to me
stepped out into the night
back against the moon
i saw ten thousand hands with candlelight
we all think that we're right
it's hard to tell
if the night is full of hope or doom
what more than sorry can i say
what more than sorry can i be
before our love fades away
what more than sorry
do you want from me
my eyes
burn with unshed tears
my body is weak
from so many silent years
too many people say goodbye
before they say hello
step into the morning
and disappear
what more than sorry can i say
what more than sorry can i be
before our love fades away
what more than sorry
do you want from me
what more than sorry can i say
what more than sorry can i be
before our love fades away
what more than sorry
do you want from me
````
You ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
i have not been home since you left long ago
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
counting steps, walking backwards on the road
i'm counting my way back to heaven
i can't be free with what's locked inside of me
if there was a key, you took it in your hand
there's no wrong or right, but i'm sure there's good and bad
the questions linger overhead
no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
i wish that i could hold you
i wish that i had
thinking 'bout heaven
i let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back
and in time i've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck
i can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass
hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past
all the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
choosing the shiny ones instead
i turned my back, now there's no turning back
no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
i smile, but who am i kidding?
i'm just walking the miles, every once in a while i'll get a ride
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
thumbing my way back to heaven
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven...
You ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
got a car...i got some gas
oh, let's get out of here...get out of here fast
ah, everyone's confused so i stay in my room
if i go, i don't want to go alone
i hope you got this message...oh, you're not home
i could be there in ten minutes, or so
oh, i got my things
we'll make it up as we go along
oh, with you i could never be alone
never be alone
believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.
I have eaten so much gold I crapped excellence - drtyfrnk29
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all!
I need someone
A person to talk to
Someone who'd care to love
Could it be you?
Could it be you?
Situation gets rough then I start to panic
It's not enough it's just a habit
Hey kid, you're sick
Well darling, this is it
You can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back, I can see them stare
They'll hurt me bad, but I won't mind
They'll hurt me bad, they do it all the time
Yeah yeah they do it all the time
I hope you know this will go down
On your permanent record
Oh yeah, well don't get so distressed
Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed?
I take one one one 'cause you left me and
2 2 2 for my family and
3 3 3 for my heartache and
4 4 4 for my headaches and
5 5 5 for my lonliness
6 6 6 for my sorrow and
7 7 for no tomorrow and
8 8 I forget what 8 was for and
9 9 9 for a lost God and
10 10 10 10 for everything
Everything, everything, everything
You can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back, I can see them stare
They'll hurt me bad, but I won't mind
They'll hurt me bad, they do it all the time
Yeah yeah they do it all the time
Fuck them.
So, you know how people are
When it's all gone much too far
The way their minds are made
Still, there's something you should know
That I could not let show
That fear of letting go
And in this moment, I need to be needed
With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted
'Cause I love to be loved
I love to be loved [x2]
Yes, I love to be loved
I cry the way that babies cry
The way they can't deny
The way they feel
Words, they climb all over you
'Til they uncover you
From where you hide
And in this moment, I need to be needed
When my self-esteem is sinking, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear,
I want to be wanted
'Cause I love to be loved
I love to be loved [x2]
Oh I love to be loved
This old familiar craving
I've been here before, this way of behaving
Don't know who the hell I'm saving anymore
Let it pass let it go let it leave
From the deepest place I grieve
This time I believe
And I let go [x2]
I can let go of it
Though it takes all the strength in me
And all the world can see
I'm losing such a central part of me
I can let go of it
You know I mean it
You know that I mean it
I recognize how much I've lost
But I cannot face the cost
'Cause I love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved
I love to be loved
[x3]
I love to be loved
I love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved
I want to live where soul meets body,
And let the sun wrap its arms around me,
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing,
And feel, feel what it's like to be new,
'Cause in my head there's a Greyhound station,
Where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations.
So they may have a chance of finding a place where,
They're far more suited than here.
(ba dawp ba dawp ba ba, ba dawp ba ba ba dawp ba ba, ba dawp ba ba ba dawp ba ba dawp ba dawp bo)
I cannot guess what we'll discover,
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels,
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's,
And not one speck will remain.
And I do believe it's true that there are roads left in both of our shoes, But if the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too.
So brown eyes I hold you near, 'cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.
Where soul meets body.
Where soul meets body.
Where soul meets body.
And I do believe it's true that there are roads left in both of our shoes, But if the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too.
So brown eyes I hold you near, 'cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.
Make your life a mission - not an intermission. - Arnold Gasglow
:oThis goes out to my "OMG :eek: it's SAD" dancing partner of night one Boston!!:D
:pAhhhh....fun times...fun times indeed!!!;)
:cool:
all the photographs are peeling
and colors turn to gray, he's stayin'
in his room with memories for days, he faced
an undertow of futures laid to waste, embraced
by the loss of one he could not replace
and there's no reason that she'd pass
and there is no god with the plan, it's sad
and his holiness is proof, it's sad
he could only love you, it's sad
the door swings through a passing fable
a fate we may delay, we say
holding on, to live within our embrace
eleven nights, he laid in bed
hoping that dreams would bring her back, it's sad
and his holiness is proof, it's sad
he could only love you, it's sad
holding his last breath, believing
he'll make his way
but she's not forgotten
he's haunted
he's searching for escape
if just one wish could bring her back, it's sent
and his holiness is proof, it's sad
he will always love you, it's sad
If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.
The year of 2003........................................
You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
"You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
Nothing seems to kill me
no matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down
for your pain or delight
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how hard I fall
nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up
though not invincible I know
Ive givin everything I need
Id give you everything I own
Id give in if it could at least be ours alone
Ive given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and
Blow up the outside world
Someone tried to tell me something
Dont let the world get you down
Nothing will do me in
before I do myself
So save it for your own
and the ones you can help
Want to make it understood
Wanting though I never would
Trying though I know its wrong
Blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though I never could
Blow up the outside world
"This here's a REQUEST!"

I almost posted this song the other day, girl.....and then I thought......no point. I'm over "that".
2003 was an exceptional year, although, it's quite nice to not be "under the influence" anymore, wouldn't you say?

But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, 'Hey, look at me now'
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh
He's.. flying.....whole
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
High.. flying
Oh, oh
High.. flying
Oh, oh
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that i saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And i don't think i can look at this the same
But all these miles that seperate
Disappear now when i'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And i dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life was overrated
But i hope that it gets better as we go
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And i dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me
Everything i know,and anywhere i go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And i dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me
You tell me you don't love me over a cup of coffee
And I just have to look away
A million miles between us
Planets crashing to dust
I just let it fade away
I'm walking empty streets hoping we might meet
I see your car parked on the road
The light on at your window
I know for sure that you're home
But I just have to pass on by
So no of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still this obsessed
I guess I always knew the score
This is how our story ends
I smoke your brand of cigarettes
And pray that you might give me a call
I lie around in bed all day just staring at the walls
Hanging round bars at night wishing I had never been born
And give myself to anyone who wants to take me home
So no of course we can't be friends
Not while I still feel like this
I guess I always knew the score
This is where our story ends
You left behind some clothes
My belly summersaults when I pick them off the floor
My friends all say they're worried
I'm looking far too skinny
I've stopped returning all their calls
And no of course we can't be friends
Not while I'm still so obsessed
I want to ask where I went wrong
But don't say anything at all
It took a cup of coffee
To prove that you don't love me
*sigh* Reik (scrambled)
How silently serene a sea of pride!
How daring an ambition! yet how deep--
How fathomless a capacity for love!
No way in or out
I turned and walked the hallway
And pulled the curtains down
I knelt and emptied the mouth
Of every plug around
But nothing's sound
Ohhh, nothing's sound
I'd stay here where my last step left me
Ignored all my rounds
Soon I was seeing visions
And cracks along the walls
Ohhh
They were upside down
Ohhh
I swallow my words to keep from lying
I swallow my fist just to keep from biting, biting, biting
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving
I surfaced when all of my being was enlightened
Now, I'm
I'm in hiding, yeah
I'm in hiding, yeah, yeah
I'm in hiding
It's been about three days now since I've been aground
No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
It's funny when things change so much
It's all a state of mind
I swallowed my words to keep from lying
I swallowed my fist just to keep from biting, biting, biting
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, I was diving
I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened
Now, I'm
I'm in hiding, yeah
I'm in hiding, yeah, yeah
I'm in hiding
I'm in hiding, yeah, yeah
I'm in hiding, yeah
I'm in hiding.
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going
Broken skyline, movin' through the airport
She's an honest defector
Conscientious objector
Now her own protector
Time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going
Sometime later, getting the words wrong
Wasting the meaning and losing the rhyme
Nauseous adrenalin
Like breakin' up a dogfight
Like a deer in the headlights
Frozen in real time
I'm losing my mind
It's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going
~Tom Petty
Married their high school boyfriends
Moved into houses
In the same zip codes where their parents live
But I
I could never follow
I hit the highway
In a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
Lived like a gypsy
Six strong hands on the steering wheel
I've been a long time gone now
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
But I've always found my way somehow
By takin' the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way around
I met the queen of whatever
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies
Moved with the shakers
Wouldn't kiss all the asses they told me to
No I
I could never follow
No I
I could never follow
It's been two long years now
Since the top of the world came crashing down
And I'm getting it back on the road now
But I'm takin' the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way around
The long
The long way around
Well I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself
But I
I could never follow
No I
I could never follow
Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found
Takin' the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way around
~Dixie Chicks
But try to understand
I get satisfaction
Out of everything I can
The losers and the winners
The laughter and the tears
The noises of the day to day
Is music to my ears
And I like it
Yeah, I like it
Gonna live it up this time
And dance like the song is never ending
Gonna get so high tonight
You won't be able to bring me down
'Cause I like it
Yeah, I like it
Driving down the highway
The wind is in my hair
And if I hit a traffic jam
I swear that I won't care
Livin' the lows
Makin' the highs that much higher
And the sun will shine through
The smoke and the fire of love
Whoa, love
Gonna ride this merry-go-round
And dance like the night is never ending
Gonna get to high on life
You won't be able to bring me down
'Cause I like it
Yeah, I like it
Oh baby, I like it
A sea
Couldn't wash away
The happiness I've come to find since love
Has taught me how to break
Break these chains that hold me back
Noisy streets and the
Sleepy bars and the
Neon signs and the
Rusty cars
How many nights have I wondered how
One goes through life without
Seeing the beauty of love
Gonna live it up this time
And dance like the song is never ending
Gonna get so high tonight
You won't be able to bring me down
And I like it
Yeah, I like it
Whoa baby, I like it
Oh yeah, I like it
~Dixie Chicks
I heard the preacher say
Thou shalt not kill
I don't wanna hear nothing else
About killing and that it's God's will
Cause our children are watching us
They put their trust in us
They're gonna be like us
So let's learn from our history
And do it differently
I hope
For more love, more joy and laughter
I hope
We'll have more than we'll ever need
I hope
We'll have more happy ever afters
I hope
We can all live more fearlessly
And we can lose all the pain and misery
Rosie, her man, he gets too rough
And all she can say
Is he's a good man, he don't mean no harm
He was just brought up that way
But our children are watching us
They put their trust in us
They're gonna be like us
It's okay for us to disagree
We can work it out lovingly
I hope
More love, more joy, more laughter
I hope
You'll have more than you'll ever need
I hope
You'll have more happy ever afters
I hope
You can all live more fearlessly
And you can lose all your pain and misery
I hope
There must be a way
To change what's going on
No, I don't have all the answers
But I hope
I hope...
~Dixie Chicks
Oh it was the time. Like a clean new taste.
Smiling eyes before me and tears from my face.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah.
Sin for sale. Buying just a need. O who planted all the devils seeds?
And what's the truth? And the truth that lies at home.
It's on the inside and I can't get it off. Yeah.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah.
What's clean is pure. But hey, I'm white on the outside. Though I stray.
What she don't know today might kill us both tomorrow. Bring it back someway.
Bring it back, back, back... to the clean form. To the pure form.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Yeah
Wash my ...wash my...wash my love....yeaaaaaaahhhhhhh
sexy, sexy.....and a happy, happy 40th birthday to mr. dream. wash my love indeed.
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
Isnt the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel
If I could
Maybe Id give you my world
How can i
When you wont take it from me
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You an call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you wanna do
If I could
Baby Id give you my world
Open up
Everythings waiting for you
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You an call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
'Cause I'm happy where I am
Don't depend on a guy to validate me
No, no
I don't need to be anyone's baby
Is that so hard to understand?
No, I don't need another half to make me whole
Make your move if you want
Doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up
You either got it or you don't
This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm trading places
Right now a star's in the ascendant
I'm single
Right now
That's how I wanna be
I'm single
Right now
That's how I wanna be
Ah, yeah
Uh, huh that's right
Don't need to be on somebody's arm to look good
I like who I am
I'm not saying I don't wanna fall in love 'cause I would
I'm not gonna get hooked up just 'cause you say I should
Can't romance on demand
I'm gonna wait so I'm sorry if you misunderstood
This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm trading places
Right now a star's in the ascendant
Everything in its right time
Everything in its right place
I know I'll settle down one day
But 'til then I like it this way
It's my way
I like it this way
Make your move if you want
Doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up
You either got it or you don't
'Til then I'm single
This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant
I'm single, ohhh
That's how I wanna be.
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along,...
Death came around, forced to hear its song,...
And know tomorrow can't be depended on.
I seen the home inside your head,...
All locked doors and unmade beds.
Open sores unattended
Let me say just once that
I have faced it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.
I escaped it,... A life wasted,..
I'm never going back again.
Having tasted,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again
The world awaits just up the stairs
Leave the pain for someone else.
Nothing back there for you to find,...
Or was it you, you left behind?
You're always saying you're too weak to be strong,...
You're harder on yourself than just about anyone,...
Why swim the channel just to get this far?
Halfway there, why would you turn around?
Darkness comes in waves,... tell me,
why invite it to stay?
You're warm with negativity,
Yes, comfort is an energy,...
But why let the sad song play?
I have faced it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.
Oh I escaped it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.
Having tasted,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.
Oh I erased it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
I always thought that I knew
I'd always have the right to
Be living in the kingdom of the good and true
It's so long that now I think I was wrong
And you were laughing along
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on...
My side,
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Sometimes...
It's hard to know where I stand
It's hard to know where I am
Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand
Sometimes
I get the feeling that I'm
Stranded in the wrong time
Where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days
After all the misery made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?
Nothing left inside this old cathedral
Just the sad, lonely spires
How do you make it right?
Oh, but you try
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days
After all the misery made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them up
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew
Is no hope in you for me
No corner ycould squeeze me
But Ive got all the time for you, love
The space between, the tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The space between, the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain
Will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like will it rain today?
We waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games were playing
Were strange allies
With warring hearts
What a wild-eyed beast you be
The space between, the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain
Will I hold you again?
Will I hold you...
Look at us spinning out in the madness of a rollercoaster
You know you went off like the devil in a church
In the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we dont take this ship down
The space between, where you smile and hide
Where youll find me if I get to go
The space between, the bullets in our fire fight
Is where Ill be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls splashed in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into your room
The space between, our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain
Take my hand
cause were walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need dear
The space between, whats wrong and right
Is where youll find me hiding, waiting for you
The space between, your heart and mine
Is a space well fill with time
The space between...
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Your mind won't ever, never let you say what you want
You howl and wail like a banshee
Still your mind wont ever let you say
Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Your mind won't ever, never let you say what you want
My little tired devotee
Your mind don't even let you feel
Quivering now, shivering now, withering
Your mind won't let you say that you're
Wondering now, pondering now, hungering
Won't let you say that you're
Questioning, wavering, weakening
You mind won't let you say that you're
Hearkening, listening, heeding me now
Won't let you say that you want
Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Your mind won't ever, never let you have what you want
I feel your hunger to taste me
Still your mind won't ever let you say
Your kind is just the type that should use me
But your mind won't seem to let you have
The opportunity to abuse me
Your mind won't even let you feel
Quivering now, shivering now, withering
Your mind won't let you say that you're
Wondering now, pondering now, hungering
Won't let you say that you're
Questioning, wavering, weakening
You mind won't let you say that you're
Hearkening, listening, heeding me now
Won't let you say that you want...me
Savor the addiction, savor the affliction, savor me
Savor the addiction, savor the affliction[2x]
Savor the addiction, savor the affliction
Savor me, savor her mind
Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Because your mind won't let you say that you want me
Your mind won't let you say that you want me
Because Your mind won't let you say
That you want me to want me
Your mind won't let you say
That you want me to want me
Mind won't let you say
That you want me to want me
Won't let you say
That you want me to want me
What do you want?[4x]
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last stand
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever come around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
Lord help me get away
Cause only you can save me now from this misery
I've been lost in my own place
And I'm getting weary
How far is heaven
And I know that I need to change my ways of living
How far is heaven
Lord can you tell me
I've been locked up way too long in this crazy world
How far is heaven
And I just keep on praying Lord and just keep on living
How far is heaven
Yeah, Lord can you tell me
How far is heaven (I just gotta know how far, yeah)
How far is heaven (Yeah, Lord can you tell me)
Tu que estas en alto cielo
Echame tu bendicion
Cause I know there's a better place than this place I'm living
How far is heaven
And I just got to have some faith and "just" keep on giving
How far is heaven (Yeah, Lord can you tell me)
How far is heaven (I just got to know how far, yeah)
How far is heaven (Yeah, Lord can you tell me)
How far is heaven
Cause I just gotta know how far...
I just wanna know how far
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
Pain is over me, overloading
I don't know why but you're trying to be kind
Take off your silver smile, throw your head back
And cry
I don't believe but I'm trying to decide
Which game is best for me, which can I bare
You don't perseve so I'm leading you away
Home were you've never been, non-returning
So cry
Throw a rock upon the road and it breaks into pieces
Shake brach upon the snow and the sun is defeated
Pull the curtains on yesterday and it seems so much later
Put a bullet in my brain and I'll make all the papers
I don't know why but I'm tired of my life
The clouds are in my eyes, overtaking
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
Freedom it leaves me so confined
Every single bone has cracked
But in this life, you can't turn back
I don't want to live
I don't want to live here alone, alone, alone, alone
As these words part with my tongue
I question why they're even sung
I promise but I lie
I don't even know myself inside
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be here alone, alone, alone, alone
Today and tomorrow have become one
Every single thing has become none
Human nature is a beast
What ive done the most, to show i have the least
Please don't leave me here
Please don't leave me here
Don't you leave me alone, alone, alone
````
goodbye
hasn't been so good to me
stepped out into the night
back against the moon
i saw ten thousand hands with candlelight
we all think that we're right
it's hard to tell
if the night is full of hope or doom
what more than sorry can i say
what more than sorry can i be
before our love fades away
what more than sorry
do you want from me
my eyes
burn with unshed tears
my body is weak
from so many silent years
too many people say goodbye
before they say hello
step into the morning
and disappear
what more than sorry can i say
what more than sorry can i be
before our love fades away
what more than sorry
do you want from me
what more than sorry can i say
what more than sorry can i be
before our love fades away
what more than sorry
do you want from me
````
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
counting steps, walking backwards on the road
i'm counting my way back to heaven
i can't be free with what's locked inside of me
if there was a key, you took it in your hand
there's no wrong or right, but i'm sure there's good and bad
the questions linger overhead
no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
i wish that i could hold you
i wish that i had
thinking 'bout heaven
i let go of a rope, thinking that's what held me back
and in time i've realized, it's now wrapped around my neck
i can't see what's next, from this lonely overpass
hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past
all the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives
choosing the shiny ones instead
i turned my back, now there's no turning back
no matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
i smile, but who am i kidding?
i'm just walking the miles, every once in a while i'll get a ride
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven
thumbing my way back to heaven
i'm thumbing my way back to heaven...
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
----
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
oh, let's get out of here...get out of here fast
ah, everyone's confused so i stay in my room
if i go, i don't want to go alone
i hope you got this message...oh, you're not home
i could be there in ten minutes, or so
oh, i got my things
we'll make it up as we go along
oh, with you i could never be alone
never be alone
I have eaten so much gold I crapped excellence - drtyfrnk29
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all!
A person to talk to
Someone who'd care to love
Could it be you?
Could it be you?
Situation gets rough then I start to panic
It's not enough it's just a habit
Hey kid, you're sick
Well darling, this is it
You can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back, I can see them stare
They'll hurt me bad, but I won't mind
They'll hurt me bad, they do it all the time
Yeah yeah they do it all the time
I hope you know this will go down
On your permanent record
Oh yeah, well don't get so distressed
Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed?
I take one one one 'cause you left me and
2 2 2 for my family and
3 3 3 for my heartache and
4 4 4 for my headaches and
5 5 5 for my lonliness
6 6 6 for my sorrow and
7 7 for no tomorrow and
8 8 I forget what 8 was for and
9 9 9 for a lost God and
10 10 10 10 for everything
Everything, everything, everything
You can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back, I can see them stare
They'll hurt me bad, but I won't mind
They'll hurt me bad, they do it all the time
Yeah yeah they do it all the time
Fuck them.
Peter Gabriel
[Aaaaahi, byeeee]
So, you know how people are
When it's all gone much too far
The way their minds are made
Still, there's something you should know
That I could not let show
That fear of letting go
And in this moment, I need to be needed
With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted
'Cause I love to be loved
I love to be loved [x2]
Yes, I love to be loved
I cry the way that babies cry
The way they can't deny
The way they feel
Words, they climb all over you
'Til they uncover you
From where you hide
And in this moment, I need to be needed
When my self-esteem is sinking, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear,
I want to be wanted
'Cause I love to be loved
I love to be loved [x2]
Oh I love to be loved
This old familiar craving
I've been here before, this way of behaving
Don't know who the hell I'm saving anymore
Let it pass let it go let it leave
From the deepest place I grieve
This time I believe
And I let go [x2]
I can let go of it
Though it takes all the strength in me
And all the world can see
I'm losing such a central part of me
I can let go of it
You know I mean it
You know that I mean it
I recognize how much I've lost
But I cannot face the cost
'Cause I love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved
I love to be loved
[x3]
I love to be loved
I love to be loved
Yes I love to be loved
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
And let the sun wrap its arms around me,
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing,
And feel, feel what it's like to be new,
'Cause in my head there's a Greyhound station,
Where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations.
So they may have a chance of finding a place where,
They're far more suited than here.
(ba dawp ba dawp ba ba, ba dawp ba ba ba dawp ba ba, ba dawp ba ba ba dawp ba ba dawp ba dawp bo)
I cannot guess what we'll discover,
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels,
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's,
And not one speck will remain.
And I do believe it's true that there are roads left in both of our shoes, But if the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too.
So brown eyes I hold you near, 'cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.
Where soul meets body.
Where soul meets body.
Where soul meets body.
And I do believe it's true that there are roads left in both of our shoes, But if the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too.
So brown eyes I hold you near, 'cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.
Make your life a mission - not an intermission. - Arnold Gasglow
:pAhhhh....fun times...fun times indeed!!!;)
:cool:
all the photographs are peeling
and colors turn to gray, he's stayin'
in his room with memories for days, he faced
an undertow of futures laid to waste, embraced
by the loss of one he could not replace
and there's no reason that she'd pass
and there is no god with the plan, it's sad
and his holiness is proof, it's sad
he could only love you, it's sad
the door swings through a passing fable
a fate we may delay, we say
holding on, to live within our embrace
eleven nights, he laid in bed
hoping that dreams would bring her back, it's sad
and his holiness is proof, it's sad
he could only love you, it's sad
holding his last breath, believing
he'll make his way
but she's not forgotten
he's haunted
he's searching for escape
if just one wish could bring her back, it's sent
and his holiness is proof, it's sad
he will always love you, it's sad
You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
no matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down
for your pain or delight
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how hard I fall
nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up
though not invincible I know
Ive givin everything I need
Id give you everything I own
Id give in if it could at least be ours alone
Ive given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and
Blow up the outside world
Someone tried to tell me something
Dont let the world get you down
Nothing will do me in
before I do myself
So save it for your own
and the ones you can help
Want to make it understood
Wanting though I never would
Trying though I know its wrong
Blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though I never could
Blow up the outside world

I almost posted this song the other day, girl.....and then I thought......no point. I'm over "that".
2003 was an exceptional year, although, it's quite nice to not be "under the influence" anymore, wouldn't you say?
SO NICE not to be under ANY influence! With all the tour talk and my one show over and your many coming up.....the memories of 2003 are thick.
