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 shame0 -
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 alonebelieve 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.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all!0 -
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.We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.0 -
Love To Be Loved
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 lovedStay with me...
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow0 -
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.

: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 sadIf 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.0 -
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..."0 -
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?We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.0 -

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."You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."0 -
I love the way you look at me
I feel the pain you place inside
Lock me up inside ya dirty cage
While I'm alone inside my mind
I like to teach you all the rules
I'd get to see them set in stone
I like it when you chain me to the bed
There ya secrets never shone
I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can't control you
You're not the one for me, no
I can't control you
You can't control me
I need to feel you
So why's it involve
I love the way
You rape my skin
I feel the hate
You place inside
I need to get your voice
Out of my head
'Cause I'm the guy
You'll never find
I'm faking all of the rules
There's no expressions
On your faceIf 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.0 -
Marching Bands Of Manhattan
Death Cab for Cutie
If I could open my arms
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan,
I'd bring it to where you are
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson
If I could open my mouth
Wide enough for a marching band to march out
They would make your name sing
And bend through alleys and bounce off all the buildings.
I wish we could open our eyes
To see in all directions at the same time
Oh what a beautiful view
If you were never aware of what was around you
And it is true what you said
That I live like a hermit in my own head
But when the sun shines again
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in.
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty or half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna...Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow0 -
I'll see you in nashville,
If I ever get out that way.
I'll see you in Austin,
But I wont have long to stay.
If you're ever out west son,
and you feel like slowing down.
I'll see you around,
round my home town.no matter where you go,
there you are.

I found your photograph in a cardboard box in a magazine
I can't remember you, remember us, or anything
I taught you how to feel, but you just feel numb
They taught you how to feel, but you just feel numb
She comes apart in the avalanche
Fades out like a dance
Crawls back into bed
When it's over
When it's over
When it's over
And it's over
I watch the window and listen for the sound of cars
I can't remember the last time that it was yours
I taught you how to feel, why do you feel numb?
They taught us how to feel, but we just feel numb
She falls apart in the avalanche
Fades out like a dance
Crawls back into bed
When it's over
When it's over
When it's over
When it's over
She falls apart in the avalanche
Fades out like a dance
Crawls back into bed
When it's over
And it's over
When it's over
It's over.We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.0 -
Doctor Robert, you’re a new and BETTER MAN,
He helps you to understand,
He does ev’rything he can, Doctor Robert.
Well, well, well, you’re feeling fine,
Well, well, well, he’ll make you...Doctor Robert.
When you're down, he'll pick you up, Doctor Robert.Another habit says it's in love with you
Another habit says its long overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self0 -
It's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means
And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again
Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day...
And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be
I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me
And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry.We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.0 -
nights in white satin
never reaching the end
letters ive written
never meaning to send
beauty id always missed
with these eyes before
just what the truth is
i cant say anymore
cause i love you
yes i love you
i love you
gazing at people
some hand in hand
just what im going through
they cant understand
some try to tell me
thoughts they cannot defend
just what you want to be
you will be in the end
and i love you
yes i love you
i love you
nights in white satin

The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird0 -
This song makes me weepy. Especially today. I think I need to go curl up in a dark corner and listen to some emo.
The night is cold, you lie with ghosts you have let down,
An empty bed betrays you, you lie awake and wonder what went wrong
The lights have died, the love they gave on borrowed time,
And you’ll melt into the walls, melt into the walls
Your time has run out, your time has run out,
They lied, they lied baby, and I tried I tried lately...
I’ll drink you slow, I’ll drink you slow but for a price,
Water turns to poison and loving touch gives way to lonely nights
It’s a fine white line, it’s a fine white line you’re stumbling across,
You’ll melt into the walls, melt into the walls
Your time has run out, your time has run out,
They lied, they lied baby, and I tried I tried lately...
Please don’t you ask,
Please don’t you ask me how it feels,
For she was the last,
To light up my night and make me sing...
Your time has run out, your time has run out,
They lied, they lied baby, and I tried I tried lately...
Make your life a mission - not an intermission. - Arnold Gasglow0 -
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
High.. flying
Oh, oh
High.. flying
Oh, oh...~********************************

the bad feelings

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
all of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
Your face, it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
all of meIf 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.0
