Lyrics/Songs that best describe you

What's clean is pure, but hey
I'm white on the outside, though I stray

Routine was the theme,... he'd wake up,..wash and pour himself
Into uniform,... something he hadn't imagined being...

As the merging traffic passed,... he found himself staring,..
Down,... at his own... hands..
Not remembering the change,... not recalling the plan,
Was it...?

He was okay,... but wondering... about wandering
Was it age?... By consequence?... or was he moved by
Sleight of hand?

Mondays were made to fall,... lost on a road he knew by heart
It was like a book he read in his sleep,... endlessly...
Sometimes he hid in his radio,... watching others pull into their homes
While he was drifting...

On a line,... of his own,... off the line,... on the side
Bye the by,.... as dirt turned to sand,
As if moved by sleight of hand...

When he reached the shore of his... clip-on world...
He resurfaced to the norm
Organized his few things,... his coat and keys...
Any new realizations... would have to wait...
Til he had more time,... more time...
Time to dream,... to himself... he waves goodbye,
To himself... I'll see you on the other side...

Another man...moved by sleight of hand...

"Old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you..."

crazy....that's exactly what i was going to post! :shock: *cue twilight zone music*

I'm told time and time again that I'm just like my old man. Physically, socially, and personally.

I'm generally told this by my mother who is divorced from my dad... :?

'There's a girl on a ledge, she's got nowhere to turn, cause all the love that she had was just wood that she burned.
Now her life is on fire, it's no one's concern, she can blame the world or pray till dawn, but only love can break her fall.
It's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth, and she is standing outside hating everyone here. Yeah she's her own disease, crying to her doll, but only love can break her fall.'

Have always felt this song was a big accusatory finger pointed at me...

AND :

'I'm heading down a lonely highway, I'm running down a one-way street. All I wanna know, are you going my way ? Is there some place quiet where we can meet ? And friends they come, and friends they go, but you were always by my side, and where it all ends, I don't know, don't cry no more, just hold on tight.
There was a time when I was desperate, living in a town without a name. And when things got so dark and desolate, you taught me how to hide my shame.
And kings and queens and millionaires may never know what I have known, but thank the stars I'm the lucky one, thanks for the lessons that I have been shown.
I feel rich, I feel power and security and when I'm weak, you are strong.
Once in a lifetime, twice in eternity.
And guess what ? Nothing else matters anyways.'
(Social Distortion, Untitled ............... my favorite song ever).

Nice, Brian. (Good bump of an old thread, too.) 

My contribution:

A winter's day
In a deep and dark
December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock
I am an island

I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock
I am an island

Don't talk of love
But I've heard the words before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock
I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock
I am an island

And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
