  • I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune

  • You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets...
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can forgive yourself...
    Makes much more sense to live in the present tense...

    Black "I'll know someday you'll have a beautiful life, i know that you'll be a star, in somebody else's sky but why, why, whyyyyy can't it be, can't it be mineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"   - one of the greatest lyrics in rock history in my opinion. just a perfect lyric for a love not returned. simply amazing

    RVM "It wasn't my service most defiled"  - such a deep lyric

    Love Boat Captain "and the young they can lose hope because they can't see beyond today, the wisdom that the old can't give away"

    Man of the Hour "this is just goodbye for now"

    Alive "You're still alive she said, oh but do I deserve to be, is that the question, and if so, if so who answers? who answers?"

    "Thought you burned, not froze for your sins."
    "Lost on a road he knew by heart."
    "I'm still alive."
    "I swallowed my word to keep from lying."
    "I remember when I swore I knew everything. Let's say knowledge is a tree. It's growing up just like me."
    "How loud can silence get."
    "It's instilled to wanna live."
    "P-r-i-v-a-c-y is priceless to me."
    "Life comes (here we go)."
    "Sometimes life don't leave you alone."
    "I gotta say it now, better loud than too late."
    "A whisper in the dark; is that you or just my thoughts?"
    "Tell you to pray while the devil's on their shoulder."
    "So this life is sacrifice."
    "And the sun is setting, the sun will rise another day."
    "Light your pillow, lay back, watch the flames."
    "His board is always full of dings cuz he's always doing stupid things."
    "You break laws and pay no fines. You get yours and then get mine."
    "Won't let the darkness swallow me."

    Your light made us stars.


    These are both great (though I'd say "We were but stones; your light made us stars").  And the first one is the probably the one that's directly helped me more than any other.

    That said, I'll go pretty basic with "I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The in between is mine."

    EDIT:
    Actually it's the longer verse that has meant a lot to me:
    You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets...
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can forgive yourself...

    "I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me" -  as a stage IV cancer patient I still look around the treatment facility and think this, seriously. 

    "Push me and I will resist, this behavior's not unique" - its just me. 

    "I’ll ride the wave where it takes me. I hold the pain, Release me" 

    2 of the three songs when heard live absolutely kick my ass now, ugly cry.  But I find myself extremely emotional over the last year 

    There's also the signature quote below

    I was coming to post this but you beat me too it.

    How it pains to leave you here
    With the kids on your own
    Just don't let me go     

      ----------- I will be 40 this year , my father passed just after my 18th birthday from lung cancer , every time I hear this line I think of everything my mom went thru and can't help but tear up.

    So many to list and several have been mentioned already, but here's a few more.

    Long Road: And the wind keeps roaring. And the sky keeps turning grey. And the sun is set. The sun will rise another day.
    Immortality: Some die just to live.
    Leash: 
    i am lost, i'm no guide, but i'm by your side. i am right by your side...
    Red Mosquito: If i had known then what i know now...
    Faithful: Like echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes...
    All Those Yesterdays: 
    It's no crime to escape, it's no crime to escape. There's still time, so escape.
    Breakerfall: because all the love that she had was just wood that she burned
    Help, Help: The man they call my enemy, I've seen his eyes. He looks just like me, a mirror
    Dead Man: The hammer that I once brung down now hovers over me.
    Undone: 
    Change don't come from one. It's a wave building before it breaks.
    Severed Hand: Explore and not explode.
    Inside Job: Oh, life comes from within your heart and desire
    Speed of Sound: A whisper in the dark. Is that you or just my thoughts. I'm wide awake and reaching out
    Pendulum: Can't know what's high. 'Til you've been down so low
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Down - Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.

    Long Road - And the sun is setting, the sun will rise another day

    LBC - 
    Sometimes life Don't leave you alone.

    MFC - Ask, I'm an ear

    Just Breathe - Stay with me,..Let's just breathe. (This lyric really hit home as I watched my mom take her last breath)

    It was my favorite song the first time I heard it and it still is today! The lyrics are the reason!!

    "Immortality"

    vacate is the word...vengeance has no place on me or her
    cannot find the comfort in this world
    artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
    vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...
    a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on...
    but there's a trapdoor in the sun...immortality...
    as privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show
    swept out through the cracks beneath the door
    holier than thou, how?
    surrendered...executed anyhow
    scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...
    a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on too...
    he saw the trapdoor in the sun...
    immortality...
    i cannot stop the thought...i'm running in the dark...
    coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...
    oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
    and whiskers in the sink...
    truants move on...cannot stay long
    some die just to live...
    ohh...
