    "Will myself to find a home, a home within myself
    We will find a way, we will find our place..."

    "Sometimes I know, sometimes I rise
    Sometimes I fall, sometimes I don't
    Sometimes I cringe, sometimes I live
    Sometimes I walk, sometimes I kneel
    Sometimes I speak of nothing at all
    Sometimes I reach to myself, dear god"

    And of course, probably one of the greatest lines in any song:

    ""I will feel alive... as long as I am free...""
    It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win

    i'll ride the wave where it takes me,
    ]i'lll hold the pain, release me.

    i'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me,
    i'l open up, release me, RELEASE ME.
    I have faced it, A life wasted...

    Take my hand, my child of love
    Come step inside my tears
    Swim the magic ocean,
    I've been crying all these years

    Inspired by the black thread... when I think of the greatest line-

    "I know one day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star, but in somebody else's sky, but why, can't it by mine?"

    That is what comes to mind.

    Any other great one liners?

    That line places its finger on the pulse of humanity. To enjoy that line is open admission to having lived that line. It captures love's loss. It's bleeding becomes the ink on the page.

    Timeless and Classic.

    It is the everday Romeo and Juliet.

    Dalai Lama—To say that humility is an essential ingredient in our pursuit of spiritual transformation may seem to be at odds with what I have said about the need for confidence. But there is clearly a distinction to be made between valid confidence or self-esteem, and conceit - which we can describe as an inflated sense of importance, grounded in a false image of self.

    I wish I was the full moon shining off a camaro's hood.
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    My faves (yes a few have been mentioned already)

    "And wherever you've gone
    And wherever we might go
    It don't seem fair
    Today just disappeared
    Your light's reflected now
    Reflected from afar
    We were but stones
    Your light made us stars."

    "Its an art to live with pain
    Makes the light into grey
    Lost nine friends we'll never know
    2 years ago today
    And if our lives became too long
    Would it add to our regret?
    And the young, they can lose hope
    'cause they can't see beyond today.
    The wisdom that the old can't give away."

    "What went wrong?
    Walking tightrope high
    Over moral ground
    Seeing visions of
    falling up somehow.
    Do come down
    With the living let
    What is living love
    So unforgiving yet
    needing forgiveness first.
    God, what do you say?"

    "Everyone is practicing
    But, this world's an accident.
    I was a fool because I thought
    I thought the world
    Turns out the world thought me.
    It's all the other way 'round
    We're upside down."

    "And like big weeds...with big leaves
    Stealing light from what's beneath
    Where they have more
    Still they have more"

    "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
    I'll open up.
    Release me"

    "I don't want to think, I want to feel
    How can I feel?"
    I love my female wife...
    we sit around and wonder exactly why our marriage should feel threatened by gay marriage

    one day she stiffened

    it's herd behavior

    lifetimes are catching up with me
    It's all state of mind.

    "save u" is amazing ('...go ahead & let urself fall, i'm right below ya now')


    I'm glad someone else thinks this song is a lyrical achievement. A lot of people can't get passed the liberal use of the word "fuck."

    I think it helps so how dire that situation is. The first person (presumably Eddie?) is willing to be a punching bag for the second person to get better. (Fuck ME if I say something you don't want to hear, Fuck ME if you only hear what you want to hear, Fuck ME if I care, but I'm not leaving here)
