Apparently, music is important to me, because I feel a need to post some more. I apologize for breaking the rules, but just feel a huge need to post this right now.
Blue October -- She's My Ride Home (never fails to inspire me no matter how down I am. . .who cares, no one else believes.)
I'll be reaching for the stars with you, honey
Who cares. . .no one else believes
So I set fire to everyone around
. . .we won. . .we won. . .We WON. .yeah, we won
Love and Rockets - A Private Future
Stop looking back in anger because you can't change the rules. . .
To terrify, to cry, it true, you're life is just a game.
. . .speak without reason, you're laughing much too loudly,
with so many scars, how does it feel deep in your heart
'Cause when the cover is broken wide open, how does it feel in your skin
Now you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey and sin. . .
REM -- Nightswimming (represents innocence lost to me)
I'm not sure that all these people understand
. . .the fear of getting caught
the recklessness in water
they cannot see me naked
these things go away
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (of course)
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look, but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone.
Peter Gabriel - Here Comes the Flood
Drink up dreamers, you're running dry
When the flood comes, you have no home, you have no warmth
. . .don't be afraid to cry at what you see
. . .and if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be
Who -- Behind Blue Eyes
No one knows what it's like to the bad man, to be the sad man. . .
. . .but my dreams they aren't as empty as my conscious seems to be
(apparently, I have mommy issues :) )
Mother, should I build a wall?
oooh, Ma, is it just a waste of time?
Momma's going to put all of her fears into you
Of course, Momma's going to help build the wall
Momma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
You'll always be baby to me.
Blue October - Black Orchid
It's not as if I am scared to learn, just why I am empty inside
Just hold my hand and show some concern, if I live or die
My eyes are open wide, help me look inside.
I hear the water water drip from the faucet
It's sweetly falling in tune, who knew
I'm gently closing the closet, I fall to the floor and crawl to my room
The thought of ending it soon
Just let me sleep in my room.
I hear a knock at the front door, don't come in
I try to look at you, but I can't stop shaking
Leave me alone, just go away
Mother, I am so scared. . .I'm so scared
Staind -- Epiphany
I am nothing more than a little boy inside
That cries out for attention
Yet I always try to hide
. . .but I know I will do the right thing
if the right think isn't feel
'Cause it's always raining in my head. . .
Blue Oyster Cult -- Veteran of the Psychic Wars
I'm young enough to look at, but far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside, not sure that there is anything left of me
You ask me why I am weary, why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence, say it's time I changed and grew
But the war is still going on, dear. . .
My energy is spent at last and my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?
Don't let these shakes go on!
Tears for Fears -- Mad World
The dreams in which I'm dying
are the best I've ever had
Pink Floyd - Nobody Home
I got wide staring eyes
I got a strong urge to fly
But I have nowhere to fly to. . .
The Church - Unguarded Moment
. . .I knew you would find me drinking
Tell those men with horses for hearts
That their jibes, don't make me bleed
They only make me feel like shrinking
In an Unguarded Moment
Psychedelic Furs - Get A Room
My confusion leaves me cold
I've got nothing here to hold
All that's gold, will never shine
It was nothing, never mind
De/Vision - Dress Me When I Bleed (to my awesome wife who I would be worthless without)
I really try my best, to treat you
Not like anyone, but much better than the rest
You give me what I need
You dress me when I bleed
You cheer when I'm blue
I feel your love is true
