"So Long, See You Tomorrow"

There was a time when I absolutely hated this song. Now I appreciate and love its testament to commitment.

"So Long, See You Tomorrow" (lyrics by Jerome Clark, music by Robin and Linda Williams, on their CD titled In the Company of Strangers)

At the end of one more day
My weary soul stripped bare
Just before sleep carries me away
I reach out to know you're there

I've not been the best of friends
I've not always held to what's true
I was not who I could have been
I hid myself from you

CHORUS:
So long, see you tomorrow
In a morning free from sorrow
Where forgiving winds blow
Clouds from the rainbow
So long, see you tomorrow


I'd be gone in a blink
If I could close my eyes
If I were not able to think
How high my soul would fly

CHORUS:
So long, see you tomorrow
In a morning free from sorrow
Where forgiving winds blow
Clouds from the rainbow
So long, see you tomorrow

But I know that when I wake
You'll be there next to me
To soothe my sore heartache
Until another night I see
 
"In the Company of Strangers"

"In the Company of Strangers" (lyrics by Jerome Clark, music by Robin and Linda Williams, on their CD In the Company of Strangers, 2000)

In the Company of Strangers

I am driving straight on through the night
I am driving straight on through the night
I'm just driving to make it to daylight
I am driving straight on through the night

Southward the sharp winds cry
Southward the sharp winds cry
To the rain and the deep black sky
Southward the sharp winds cry

CHORUS:
Oh you wild and rolling rivers
Roaring as the warm air quivers
You highways full of dreams and danger
Keeping me in the company of strangers
Keeping me in the company of strangers

When the soothing darkness falls
When the soothing darkness falls
Will the bright light of memory pall
When the soothing darkness falls

Is there rest for a restless man
Is there rest for a restless man
Is there sleep by the salt sea sand
Is there rest for a restless man

CHORUS:
Oh you wild and rolling rivers
Roaring as the warm air quivers
You highways full of dreams and danger
Keeping me in the company of strangers
Keeping me in the company of strangers

Bridge:

Take these scenes from my eyes
Step these voices whispering goodbye

CHORUS:
Oh you wild and rolling rivers
Roaring as the warm air quivers
You highways full of dreams and danger
Keeping me in the company of strangers
Keeping me in the company of strangers
 
This sums me up at the moment (Especially the Bold)
Evanescence- Snow white queen


stoplight lock the door
don't look back
undress in the dark
and hide from you
all of you

You'll never know the way your words have haunted me
I can't believe you'd ask these things of me
you don't know me

You belong to me
my snow white queen
there's nowhere to run, so lets just get it over
soon I know you'll see
you're just like me
don't scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you

Wake up in a dream
frozen fear
all your hands on me
I can't scream

I can't escape the twisted way you think of me
I feel you in my dreams and I don't sleep

You belong to me
my snow white queen
there's nowhere to run, so lets just get it over
soon I know you'll see
you're just like me
don't scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you

I can't save your life
though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting
I'm losing my mind and you just stand there and stare as my world divides

You belong to me
my snow white queen
there's nowhere to run, so lets just get it over
soon I know you'll see
you're just like me
don't scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you
 
November rain
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain


Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
 
Thoughtless- Korn

Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
Pushing all the mercy down, down, down
I wanna see you try to take a swing at me
Come on, gonna put you on the ground, ground, ground

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny?
What the **** you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
I'm above you, smiling at you, drown, drown, drown
I wanna kill and rape you the way you raped me
And I'll pull the trigger
And you're down, down, down

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny?
What the **** you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

All my friends are gone, they died (gonna take you down)
They all screamed, and cried (gonna take you down)

I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
Gonna take you down

[repeat 2x]

I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
I've got my body, got my body back against the...

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming
All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming
 
Korn- Coming undone

Keep holding on
When my brain's tickin' like a bomb
Guess the black thoughts have come Again to get me
Sweet bitter words
Unlike nothing I have heard
Sing along mocking bird
You don't affect me

That's right
Deliverance of my heart
Please strike
Be deliberate

[Chorus]
Wait
I'm coming undone
Irate
I'm coming undone
Too late
I'm coming undone
One looks so strong
So delicate
Wait
I'm starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I'm coming undone
One looks so strong
So delicate

Choke choke again
I thought my demons were my friends
Getting me in the end
They're out to get me
Since I was young
I've tasted sorrow on my tongue
And this sweet sugar gun
Does not protect me

That's right
Trigger between my eyes
Please strike
Make it quick now

[Chorus]

I'm trying to hold it together
Head is lighter than a feather
Looks like i'm not getting better
Not getting better

Lights Of Euphoria Lyrics

Consequence (Face Yourself)


(You know what it's like to feel your heart beating
in your chest so intensely
But you can't even breathe
This is a story
Hideous nightmares)

(I see new visions
And you... will... too...)

Only the damned caress you now
If just to lure you to the depths where they reside
No solace found in distant light that indicates
There is one darkness that never ends

From the pain that haunts you still
See what you truly are
Face yourself
Are you certain what will happen?

Face yourself
See what you truly are
After all it's time
Are you certain what will happen?

From the pain that haunts you still
Face yourself
Face yourself
Are you certain what will happen?

(I see new visions
And you... will... too...)

Is it justice, the despair that weighs
so heavy on your mind?
No comfort found, no place to hide
Devoid of comfort, devoid of calm
No comfort found, no place to hide

From the pain that haunts you still
See what you truly are
Face yourself
Are you certain what will happen?

Face yourself
See what you truly are
After all it's time
Are you certain what will happen?

Face yourself

Face yourself

From the pain that haunts you still
See what you truly are
Face yourself
Are you certain what will happen?

Face yourself
See what you truly are
After all it's time
Are you certain what will happen?

From the pain that haunts you still
Face yourself
Face yourself
Are you certain what will happen?

Face yourself
Face yourself
Face yourself
Face yourself

(I see new visions)
 
i just like this little tune...it's just about letting go...sweet and to the point, by Ani.

growing up, it was just me and my mom against the world.
and all my sympathies were with her when i was a little girl
and i've seen both my parents play out the hands that they were dealt
as each year goes by, i know more about how my father must have felt.

i just want you to understand that i know what all the fighting was for,
and i just want you to understand that i'm not angry anymore.
no, i'm not angry anymore.

she taught me how to wage cold war with quiet charm
but i just want to walk through my life unarmed.
to accept, and just get by like my father learned to do,
but without all the acceptance of getting by that got my father through

i just want you to understand that i know what all the fighting was for
and i just want you to understand that i'm not angry anymore.
no, i'm not angry anymore.

night falls like people into love
we generate our own light to compensate for the lack of light from above.
every time we fight a cold wind blows our way,
we can learn like the trees, how to bend,
how to sway and say i, i

think i understandwhat all this fighting is for,
and i just want you to understand
i'm not angry anymore. no, i'm not angry anymore.
 
A song of strength

Music triggers me but i do have a song that i love. I miss being able to listen to it but i can still read the words. Sometimes it gives me strength and i hope it gives you strength too.

Something inside so strong - Libi Siffre

The higher you build your barriers
The taller I become
The farther you take my rights away
The faster I will run
You can deny me
You can decide
To turn your face away

No matter coz there's
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no
Something inside so strong
O-oh
Something inside so strong

The more you refiuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho
The lies will come tumbling
Deny my place in time
You squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly it will blind you

Coz there's
Something inside so strong
So strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no
Something inside so strong
O-oh
Something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
When we know better
Just look em in the eyes and say
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway

Something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh-no
Something inside so strong
o-oh
Something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
When we know better
Just look em in the eyes and say
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway

Because there's
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no
Something inside so strong

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no
Something inside so strong
O-oh Something inside so strong
O-oh Something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
 
Billy Joel
she can kill with a smile she can wound with her eyes
she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
but she only reveals what she wants you to see
she hides like a child but she's always a woman to me
oh she takes care of herself
she can wait if she wants
she's ahead of her time
(she's always a woman to me) title
 
A New Favorite that speaks volumes

I heard this song not long ago and thought of it today...sort of a melancholy day in reflection of some of the battles I am having with my c-ptsd. I think a lot about how my moods and triggers affect my family. I have a husband of 12 years and 4 boys (11 1/2, 10, and 3 year old twins). I am very cognizant of how impotent they feel to reach me sometimes, and that sometimes even when they could reach me it is not best right then, but better to leave me to work through it. That is one of the reasons I find myself so drawn to the song "Her Diamonds" by Rob Thomas. I love the metaphor and I appreciate the perspective that sometimes that means the most our loved ones can do is simply stand by and shed tears for us, with us, without our knowing that they carry that burden just then (which would in my case add to my guilt at those times). I'd like to dedicate this to all of you out there who love those of us who battle with PTSD and all the related goodies. Without you we would truly be lost. You carry a big burden and I am grateful you are willing to bear the load in the worst of times, as well as the best (always wondering how long they will last). Here are the lyrics:

HER DIAMONDS

OH WHAT THE HELL SHE SAYS
I JUST CAN'T WIN FOR LOSING
AND SHE LAYS BACK DOWN
MAN THERE'S SO MANY TIMES
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOIN'
LIKE I DON'T KNOW NOW



BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON
SHE RUBS HER EYES
SAYS IT'S FUNNY HOW THE NIGHT
CAN MAKE YOU BLIND
I CAN JUST IMAGINE
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO
BUT IF SHE FEELS BAD THEN I DO TOO
SO I LET HER BE



AND SHE SAYS OOOH
I CAN'T TAKE NO MORE
HER TEARS LIKE DIAMONDS ON THE FLOOR
AND HER DIAMONDS BRING ME DOWN
CUZ I CAN'T HELP HER NOW
SHE'S DOWN IN IT
SHE TRIED HER BEST AND NOW SHE CAN'T WIN IT'S
HARD TO SEE THEM ON THE GROUND
HER DIAMONDS FALLING DOWN



SHE SITS DOWN AND STARES INTO THE DISTANCE
AND IT TAKES ALL NIGHT
AND I KNOW I COULD BREAK HER CONCENTRATION
BUT IT DON'T FEEL RIGHT
BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON
SHE RUBS HER EYES
SITS DOWN ON THE BED AND STARTS TO CRY
AND THERE'S SOMETHING LESS ABOUT HER
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO
SO I SIT DOWN AND I CRY TOO
AND DON'T LET HER SEE



AND SHE SAYS OOOH
I CAN'T TAKE NO MORE
HER TEARS LIKE DIAMONDS ON THE FLOOR
AND HER DIAMONDS BRING ME DOWN
CUZ I CAN'T HELP HER NOW
SHE'S DOWN IN IT
SHE TRIED HER BEST AND NOW SHE CAN'T WIN IT'S
HARD TO SEE THEM ON THE GROUND
HER DIAMONDS FALLING DOWN



SHE SHUTS OUT THE NIGHT
TRIES TO CLOSE HER EYES
IF SHE CAN FIND DAYLIGHT
SHE'LL BE ALL RIGHT
SHE'LL BE ALL RIGHT
JUST NOT TONIGHT



AND SHE SAYS OOOH
I CAN'T TAKE NO MORE
HER TEARS LIKE DIAMONDS ON THE FLOOR
AND HER DIAMONDS BRING ME DOWN
CUZ I CAN'T HELP HER NOW
SHE'S DOWN IN IT
SHE TRIED HER BEST AND NOW SHE CAN'T WIN IT'S
HARD TO SEE THEM ON THE GROUND
HER DIAMONDS FALLING DOWN
 
Well either I'm weird or truly traumatized cause my favorite lyrics are from the song "closer" by nine inch nails.

You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you

Help me I broke apart my insides, help me I’ve got no soul to sell
Help me the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself

I want to **** you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to **** you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god

You can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything
Help me tear down my reason, help me its' your sex I can smell
Help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else

I want to **** you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to **** you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god

Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
You are the reason I stay alive
