    It's a shame to awake in a world of pain
    What does it mean when a war has taken over..
    It's the same everyday in a hell manmade
    What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?..

    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll wait up in the dark
    For you to speak to me

    About marriage in Hail Hail

    " Like minded on the run in a race that can't be won."

    That's just painful.

    I'll be what I could be, once I get out of this town...
    Remember back, the early days, When you were young, and thus amazed, suddenly the channel changed the first time you saw blood.

    I did a what I had to do
    and if there was a reason...
    there wasn't no reason. no.
    And if there's something you'd like to do
    just let me continue to blame you.

    Eddie's lyrics are so good. A few favorites are

    "I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
    I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
    I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down
    I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up"
    -WISHLIST

    "All the rusted sign we ignore throughout our lives
    Choosing the shiny ones instead"
    -THUMBING MY WAY

    "Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go..."
    -NOTHINGMAN

    "I study your face
    And the fear goes away"
    -SIRENS

    "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
    In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
    Can't it be, can't it be mine"
    -BLACK

    I haven't read all of the responses but the ones I have are all great. One that may not have been mentioned is from Red Mosquito:
    "If I had known then what I know now"
    Another good one with a similar theme from I'm Open:
    "When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him. By nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact. No trade backs. So this is what it's like to be an adult. If he only knew now what he knew then"
    From Hail Hail, I also really like:
    "Like egg rolling thick and heavy, all the past we carry"
    And one more from Sirens:
    "If I think too much I can get overwhelmed by the grace by which we live our lives with death over our shoulders"

    ''He scared himself, into a trance
    ducking down rivers, secretly
    He floated out, into the ocean
    of his worst dream, of his rough sea?
    of all the men he could trust
    he was not one of them, always hurting himself
    this scars and seams?, the wounds are tone
    whatever time had healed, it's still too cold
    A life washed away, like words in the sand
    and when the high tide came, so went his plan
    a troubled past, a troubled future
    a troubled way leaning on a bar stool
    when strobelight stop, he finally saw
    navigation towards a brand new course
    but to himself the memory clear
    cold confession only, that only he could hear

    He let himself scream, he let himself cry
    let himself reach the other side
    there was on christ, there was no cross
    just forgiveness, allowed himself
    accepted the past, then set it free
    oh and it ran off like an animal with ease
    he holds the bruise?, he holds their star
    in his pure arms, in his clear heart
    He's safe now, he's back in her breast
    he saw his path, and changed it, chased it, at last''
