Forgiveness
by Patty Griffin

We are swimming with the snakes
At the bottom of the well
So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell
But we are not snakes and what's more
We never will be
And if we stay swimming here forever we will
Never be free

I heard them ringing the bells
In heaven and hell
They got a secret
They're getting ready to tell
It's falling from the sky
It's calling from the graves
Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved
Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved

Let's take a walk on the bridge
Right over this mess
Don't need to tell me a thing, baby
We've already confessed
And I raised my voice to the air
And we were blessed
It's hard to give
It's hard to get but
Everybody needs a little forgiveness
Everybody needs a little forgiveness

We are calling for him tonight on this
Thin phone line
As usual we're having ourselves one
Hell of a time
And the planes keep flying right over our heads
No matter how loud we shout
"Hey, hey, hey!"

And we keep waving and waving
Our arms in the air
But we're all tired out

I heard somebody say
Today's the day
A big old hurricane
Is blowing our way
Knocking over the buildings
Killing all the light

Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night
Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night
Let's take a walk on the bridge
Right over this mess
Don't need to tell me a thing, baby
We've already confessed
And I raised my voice to the air
And we were blessed
It's hard to give
It's hard to get
I'll never ever forget but
Everybody needs a little forgiveness
Everybody needs a little forgiveness

My Stupid Mouth
by John Mayer

My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday

And I could see
She was offended
She said, "Well anyway"
Just dying for a subject change

Oh, it's another social casualty
Score one more for me

How could I forget?
Mama said, "Think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon

We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker

And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good
What just slipped out and what went wrong

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again

How could I forget?
Mama said, "Think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one

I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh, I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now

One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire

I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire

I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh, I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now

This is actually a German song, and it gives me a lot of strength.
If you'd like to, look it up in youtube.

Song title in German: Krieger des Lichts
Band: Silbermond

Here's the translation -- this song can only lose in translation... I apologize already now.

Warriors of Light
by Silbermond

Be like a river that adamantly flows to the sea
That cannot be led astray no matter how hard it may be
That does not fear even the hardest of rocks
Even if it takes years to crush them

And if your determination has gone to rest, wake it
For in each and everyone of us there is that warrior
Whose courage is like a sword
But whose most powerful weapon yet is the heart

Let’s get up
And let’s get going
To all warriors of light
To all warriors of light
Where are you
You are needed here
Come on, let’s go
To all warriors of light
To all warriors of light
This is to all warriors of light

Don’t be scared of your weakness
Don’t ever be afraid to uncover your own mistakes
Be careful, relax, put your mind at ease
Be crazy, too, from time to time

Don’t let yourself be fooled, even if it’s made of gold
Don’t be blinded, especially when it comes to false pride
Learn to pardon and to forgive
Learn to keep close and to set free

Let’s get up
And let’s get going
To all warriors of light
To all warriors of light
Where are you
You are needed here
Come on, let’s go
To all warriors of light
To all warriors of light
This is to all warriors of light

He/She knows his/her boundaries and still may consciously cross them
There is not one piece of happiness, he/she will not reach out for
His/Her beliefs is what gives him/her his/her power, there’s nothing he/she fights for more determinedly
Always continuing to fight and never giving up is what makes him/her a warrior

This is a call to action and it’s
To all warriors
To all warriors

This is a call to action
And it’s to all warriors of light
To all warriors of light
This is to all warriors of light

The Clincher - Chevelle

Touch
I'll stand for nothing less
Or never stand again
These are the limits when one's buried
This body's left the soul
(Well)Could we have known
Never would I(have)helped to nail down
Careful of drifting off
Now losing taste and touch
Turning a pale blue leaning in to say
This body's left the soul
The brain needs oxygen
Can't sneak around this bait
His catacomb has got me by the chin
This body's left the soul

[Chorus:]
(Well)Could we have known
Never would I(have)helped to nail down
With nothing to gain
Here's the clincher, this should be you
Now saturate [x4] and touch
Now saturate [x3], the earth
Now saturate [x3], the earth

[Last chorus:]
(Well)Could we have known
Never would I(have)helped to nail down
With nothing to gain
Here's the clincher, this should be you
(Made cold and crippled)
This happened to be never changing
Holding inside, the phobia viewed
Made cold and crippled, ending it all

Now saturate [x4], the earth
Now saturate [x3]

Vitamin R(Leading Us Along)- Chevelle

Some will learn; many do.
Cover up or spread it out.
Turn around, had enough,
Pick and choose or pass it on.
Buying in, heading for
Suffer now or suffer then.
It's bad enough
I want the fear... need the fear

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause he's alone (he has become)
He's alone (he has become)

[Chorus:]
Well if they're making it, making it
Then they're pushing it, pushing it
And they're leading us along
The hassle of all the screaming fits
That panic makes remorse

After all, what's the point?
Course levitation is possible.
If you're a fly; achieved and gone
Theres time for this and so much more.
It's typical - create a world
A special place of my design
To never cope or never care just use the key

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause he's alone (he has become)
He's alone (he has become)

[Chorus]

Over and Over a slave
Became
Over and Over a slave
Became
Over and Over a slave
Became
Over and Over a slave
Became

MatchBox 20
Bent

If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
If I get to tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never get put back together

Not Without A Fight- Pillar

Theres a hole in my heart thats bleeding,
but its giving me strength I needed
To carry on, Im moving on, Im not giving up that easily
I can see the background breaking,
It does not stop the scars were making
Im standing strong, it wont be long, until I see you face to face

I'm not going down that easy,
it takes more than that just to break me.
Im not going down without bleeding.
I'm not going down, Down without a
FIGHT

It never mattered what I took for chances,
It never mattered where I looked for answers
Im taking the blame, this isnt a game,
I just cant watch you fake it

I'm not going down that easy,
it takes more than that just to break me.
Im not going down without bleeding.
I'm not going down, Down without a
FIGHT

I wont go down without a fight,
Its just you and me tonight
Face to face, and do or die,
I lay it all out on the line

I'm not going down that easy,
it takes more than that just to break me.
Im not going down without bleeding.
I'm not going down, Down without a
FIGHT

"Old Man" by Neil Young

Old man look at my life,​

I'm a lot like you were.​

Old man look at my life,​

I'm a lot like you were.​

Old man look at my life,​

Twenty four​

and there's so much more​

Live alone in a paradise​

That makes me think of two.​

Love lost, such a cost,​

Give me things​

that don't get lost.​

Like a coin that won't get tossed​

Rolling home to you.​

Old man take a look at my life​

I'm a lot like you​

I need someone to love me​

the whole day through​

Ah, one look in my eyes​

and you can tell that's true.​

Lullabies, look in your eyes,​

Run around the same old town.​

Doesn't mean that much to me​

To mean that much to you.​

I've been first and last​

Look at how the time goes past.​

But I'm all alone at last.​

Rolling home to you.​

Old man take a look at my life​

I'm a lot like you​

I need someone to love me​

the whole day through​

Ah, one look in my eyes​

and you can tell that's true.​

Old man look at my life,​

I'm a lot like you were.​

Old man look at my life,​

I'm a lot like you were.​

"From The Sky"
by Peter Bradley Adams


Are you tired from the battles fought?
All the years that you won or lost?
Are you tired and shaken from it all?

Are you scared that you'll lose control?
As you cling to the words you know?
In the silence you start to lose your hope.
In the silence you dream of letting go.

And maybe the clouds will open wide.
And maybe you'll let us see you smile....from the sky.

There's a sound as your breathing slows.
As the stillness around you grows,
there's a sound that you have always known.
There's a sound familiar to your bones.

And maybe the clouds will open wide.
And maybe you'll let us see you smile....from the sky. From the sky.

Now an emptiness fills the room.
There's nothing left now for you to do.
You can go, someone calls for you.
You can go, to the arms that you once knew.
You can go, they're open wide for you.

Placebo - Running up that hill

This is a favorite song of mine! I love the lyrics. I'm so glad to know someone else connects to it as well.

I am a Rock. Simon and Garfunkel


A winter's day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
[ Lyrics from: [DLMURL]http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/simon+and+garfunkel/i+am+a+rock_20124809.html[/DLMURL] ]
Don't talk of love,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

How I can become when I isolate and zone

"Somewhere I Belong"-Linkin Park
(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all that they can see the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[Chorus]
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I’ve got nothing to say
I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
’Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[Repeat Chorus]

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today

[Repeat Chorus]

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong
