AnnaElizabeth Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I can't find the thread to post which song you're feeling at the moment. So I thought I'd post it here. I'll follow with my healing song of the day. I'm drinking Tori. I feel.... "Spark" She's addicted to nicotine patches She's addicted to nicotine patches She's afraid of the light in the dark 6:58 are you sure where my spark is Here Here Here She's convinced she could hold back a glacier But she couldn't keep Baby alive Doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere Here You say you don't want it again And again but you don't really mean it You say you don't want it This circus we're in But you don't you don't really mean it You don't really mean it If the Divine master paly is perfection Maybe next I'll give Jday a try Trusting my soul to the ice cream assassin Here You say you don't want it again And again but you don't really mean it You say you don't want it This cirucs we're in But you don't you don't really mean it You don't really mean it How may fates turn around in the overtime Ballerinas that have fins that you'll never find You thought that you were the bomb yeah Well so did I Say you don't want it Say you don't want it Say you don't want it again And again but you don't really mean it Say you don't want it This circus we're in But you don't you don't really mean it You don't really mean it She's addicted to nicotine patches She's afraid of the light in the dark 6:58 are you sure where my spark is Here My most healing song right now is... "Northern Lad" Had a northern lad Well not exactly had He moved like the sunset God who painted that First he love my accent How his knees could bend I thought we'd be ok Me and my molasses But I feel someting is wrong But I fell this cake just isn't done Don't say that you Don't And if you could see me now Said if you could see me now Girls you've got to know When it's time to turn the page When you're only wet Because of the rain He don't show much these days It's gets so fucking cold I loved his secret places But I can't go anymore "you change like sugar cane" Says me northern lad I guess you go too far When pianos try to be guitars I feel the west in you And I feel it falling apart too Don't say that you Don't And if you could see me now Said if you could see me now Girls you've got to know When it's time to turn the page When you're only wet Because of the rain When you're only wet Because of the rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minerva Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 The Woman in Your Life is You--Words and Music by Alix Dobkin Performed by Holly Near Holly Near is a well known Lesbian musician. I first heard her music when she began performing what was called "women's music" in the early '70's. As a heterosexual woman, I find her music to be uplifting. This is a favorite song of mine. It reminds me to listen to myself and to be true to myself. The woman in your life Will do what she must do To comfort you and calm you down And let you rest now The woman in your life She can rest so easily She knows everything you do because The woman in your life is you The woman in your life Knows simply what is true She knows a simple way to touch To make you whole now The woman in your life She can touch so easily She knows everything you do because The woman in your life is you And who knows more about your story About your struggles in the world Who cares more to bless your weary shoulders than The woman in your life She's tryin to come through A woman's voice with messages of Woman's feelings The woman in your life She can feel so easily She knows everything you do because The woman in your life is you And who is sure to give you courage And who will surely make you strong Who will bear this joy that's coming to you if not The woman in your life She is someone to pursue She is patience and she's waiting And she'll take you home now The woman in your life She can wait so easily She knows exactly what you do because The woman in your life is you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariamarchita Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) *Trigger Warning* Here is a very sad but lovely song: Behind the Wall --Tracy Chapman "Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won’t do no good to call The police Always come late If they come at all And when they arrive They say they can’t interfere With domestic affairs Between a man and his wife And as they walk out the door The tears well up in her eyes Last night I heard the screaming Then a silence that chilled my soul I prayed that I was dreaming When I saw the ambulance in the road And the policeman said ’I’m here to keep the peace Will the crowd disperse I think we all could use some sleep’" And a kick-ass song: Independence Day --Martina McBride "Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light Though she looked a little worried and weak She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again But daddy left the proof on her cheek and I was only eight years old that summer And I always seemed to be in the way So I took myself down to the fair in town On Independence Day Well word gets around in a small, small town They said he was a dangerous man Mama was proud and she stood her ground she knew she was on the losin' end Some folks whispered some folks talked but everybody looked the other way when time ran out there was no one about On Independence Day Let Freedom ring, let the white dove sing Let the whole world know that today is a Day of reckoning Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay, it's Independence Day Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July By the time that the firemen come They just put out the flames, and took down some names And sent me to the county home Now I ain’t sayin' it's right or it's wrong but maybe it's the only way Talk about your revolution It's Independence Day Let Freedom ring,let the white dove sing Let the whole world know that today is a Day of reckoning Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay, it's Independence Day Roll the stone away It's Independence Day" Another very sad song: Inconsolable --Jonatha Brooke "I never knew what enough was, until I'd had more than my share I let the darkness in, and it was then I lost the dare It was then I lost the day There will be no prayers on your return And there will be no party thrown And you will find your inheritance is the silence that's grown It is the seed that you've sown 'Cause you were the one sure thing The one sure thing Maybe I'm not crazy, just inconsolable Inconsolable There is no mystery to be revealed And so we tell the truth and then run I love you because I love you And I did think that you were the one But now I see who you've become 'Cause you were the one sure thing The one sure thing Maybe I'm not crazy, just inconsolable Inconsolable."

Ash Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I've been meaning to post these lyrics for a while, but I kept forgetting! I few years ago I read The Onion Girl by Charles de Lint. In it, he talked about how he was inspired for the title by a Holly Cole song. I ended up downloading it and really liked it. (Just a warning: the book might be triggering for CSA.) Onion Girl Holly Cole I'm a bit unstable, she said With a Cheshire grin So many cracks in my sidewalk, boy Don't you fall in. Feels like the things that I've wanted The most in this life I can't have So you see I've been damning the world Before it damns me She said I'm naked and shameless And I'm peeling back the layers Like an onion girl Don't try to save me Just stay away 'Cause I might make you cry Like an onion girl Like an onion girl Second grade playground I still haven't the nerve Fear is under my skin Like St. Anthony's fire And I can't stand the burn Yeah So let's break a little bread, have a little laugh I haven't laughed for a while 'Cause it's a long road back, yes From the womb tonight I'm naked, shameless And peeling back the layers Like an onion girl Don't try to save me Just stay away 'Cause I might make you cry, yes Like an onion girl Like an onion girl She said I'm naked, shameless And I'm peeling back the layers Like an onion girl Don't try to save me Just stay away 'Cause I might make you cry Like an onion girl She said I'm naked and shameless And peeling back the layers Like, like an onion girl Don't try to save me Just stay away 'Cause I might make you cry Like an onion girl Like an onion girl, yeah Like an onion girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoviBlaze Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Bon Jovi just released the Demo version of "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night" (which I posted way back when), and it has different lyrics that I can kind of relate to even more then the old one so I wanted to share them here. **Be careful, they might trigger** SOMEDAY I'LL BE SATURDAY NIGHT (DEMO - ALTERNATE LYRICS) Hey, my name is Jim, I fought in Vietnam My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone I just can't hold a job. Where did I go wrong? I'm sleeping in my car; My dreams moved on My name is Billy Jean, my love is bought and sold I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old My foster daddy went and took my innocence away The street life ain't much better but at least I'm getting paid Tuesday just might go my way It can't get worse than yesterday Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind But somehow I'll survive Chorus: Hey, man, I'm alive As long as I can breathe, as long as I can fight Hey man, I know I'll get by When I wanna die I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride I'm feeling like a Monday but I wish I were a Saturday night I can't say my name, my life is on the line They say that I'm to blame, that I'm guilty of a crime I wish that I could be in another time and place With someone else's soul and someone else's face This world ain't so cut and dry but I can't 'why?' wrong or right I ain't here to justify what I gotta do to survive Chorus: Hey, man, I'm alive As long as I can breathe, As long as I can fight Hey man, I know I'll get by When I wanna die I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride I'm feeling like a Monday but I wish I were a Saturday night I'm feeling like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night Tuesday just might go my way It can't get worse than yesterday Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind Somehow I'll survive Chorus: Hey, man, I'm alive As long as I can breathe, as long as I can fight Hey man, I know I'll get by When I wanna die, I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride I'm feeling like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night I'm feeling like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night I'm feeling like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bethmae Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I know these lyric were helpful for me. "Holy Water" by Big & Rich Somewhere there's a stolen halo I use to watch her wear it well Everything would shine wherever she would go But looking at her now you'd never tell Someone ran away with her innocence A memory she can't get out of her head I can only imagine what she's feeling When she's praying Kneeling at the edge of her bed And she says take me away And take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me like holy water Holy water She wants someone to call her angel Someone to put the light back in her eyes She's looking through the faces The unfamiliar places She needs someone to hear her when she cries And she says take me away And take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me like holy water Holy water She just needs a little help To wash away the pain she's felt She wants to feel the healing hands Of someone who understands And she says take me away And take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me And she says take me away And take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me like holy water Holy water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happylunagal Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 My favorite song by Tori Amos is Winter. Here are the lyrics to this beautifully haunting song: WINTER Snow can wait - I forgot my mittens - Wipe my nose - Get my new boots on - I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter - I put my hand in my father's glove. I run off where the drifts get deeper - Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown. I hear a voice, "You must learn to stand up for yourself - 'cause I can't always be around." He says, CHORUS - "When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do? When you gonna make up your mind? 'Cause things are gonna change so fast - All the white horses are still in bed - I tell you that I'll always want you near - You say that things change, my dear." Boys get discovered as winter melts - Flowers competing for the sun - Years go by and I'm here still waiting - Withering where some snowman was - Mirror, mirror where's the crystal palace? - But, I only can see myself. Skating around the truth who I am - But I know dad, the ice is getting thin. CHORUS Hair is grey and the fires are burning - So many dreams on the shelf - You say I wanted you to be proud of me - I always wanted that myself. When you gonna make up your mind? When you gonna love you as much as I do? When you gonna make up your mind? 'Cause things are gonna change so fast - All the white horses have gone ahead - I tell you that I'll always want you near - You say that things change, my dear. NEVER CHANGE - All the white horses...

happylunagal Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Another favorite, healing song of mine is Jewel's lyrics from her album Spirit. HANDS If I could tell the world just one thing It would be that we're all ok. And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful And useless in times like these. I won't be made useless. I won't be idle with despair. I will gather myself around my faith. For light does the darkness most fear. CHORUS: My hands are small, I know But they're not yours, they are my own But they're not yours, they are my own And I am never broken. Poverty stole your golden shoes. It didn't steal your laughter. And heartache came to visit me But I knew it wasn't ever after. We'll fight, not out of spite. For, someone must stand up for what's right. 'Cause where there's a man who has no voice There ours shall go singing. CHORUS In the end only kindness matters. In the end only kindness matters. I will get down on my knees, and I will pray. I will get down on my knees, and I will pray. I will get down on my knees, and I will pray. CHORUS We are God's eyes God's hands God's mind We are God's eyes God's hands God's heart We are God's eyes God's hands God's eyes We are God's hands. We are God's hands. Peace, love & happiness to you all, from Talia a.k.a. happylunagal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcelain Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 (edited) She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5 Beauty queen of only eighteen She had some trouble with herself He was always there to help her She always belonged to someone else I drove for miles and miles And wound up at your door I've had you so many times but somehow I want more I don't mind spending everyday Out on your corner in the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved She will be loved Tap on my window knock on my door I want to make you feel beautiful I know I tend to get insecure It doesn't matter anymore It's not always rainbows and butterflies It's compromise that moves us along My heart is full and my door's always open You can come anytime you want I don't mind spending everyday Out on your corner in the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved She will be loved I know where you hide Alone in your car Know all of the things that make you who you are I know that goodbye means nothing at all Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls Edited May 3, 2005 by porcelain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusgirl24 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 before i post any lyrics, i have sevreal diffrent types of songs that i asociate, with this form of healing, but, im not sure what would be exceptable here, cause some or, like the majority of the ones posted in this topic, and then some are just, for like when im really angry, and alot of the times, music can help me exspress my anger better then, doing something else, but i feel those songs would be triggering. so i was wondering should i not post those?

Lotusgirl24 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Well i've got a few lyrics, that i like to listen to, for healing purposes, or just when im angry about anything, weather the song is just for an "instant" pick me up, or one i listen to for hiting my punching bag, it helps me heal for what ever the reason, also kind of empowers me, to be strong, when not much dose. Hellsing soundtrack/Raid - Sensou Suru Nara Yumi, Yari, Ken da Tatakae! [if you're going to war, fight with bows, spears, and swords!] something about that song, just makes me feel good, i think it's the beat, and the way the lyrics are sang. Hellsing sountrack(not availible on either OST) Mr Big - Shine on me this one is just soothing, it reminds me of my girl friend, this should just be a nice song, not triggering. Linkin Park - Nobody's listening the title is alittle self explaitory *shrugs* i would think it could be triggering, i know that it could me, sometimes, though i love the song. Oasis - stop crying your heart out beauitfull song, but gave me a panic attack the first time i heard it, later i understood the message better. so possible trigger. Creed - Don't stop danceing this is a beauitful song, a wonderfull message in it, but it's sad, and has made me cry before. so again possible trigger, but this has a very positive message. Desturbed - Down with the sickness i could sing this song and get anger out very well, though no cuss words *shrugs* unless i really need to say em. very possible trigger Insane Clown Posse - Halls of Illusion this song is quite errie on how well it can capture some anger on how people feel after bad and horrible things. (just derests and so on, is pretty much what this song is about.) Very high possiblity for triggering.(ignore the Great Milenko talk, it's part of they're "gimick") Insance clown posse - F*** the world DO NOT READ if your worried about being triggered, basicly this song is for those, who have those days, that relate to the title of the song. which im sure alot of people have had those days this song is also like that, but pretty funny and how the beat gose, if you've seen the movie bubble boy, you've probley heard this song. i can't find the lyrics, but if you want to look them up, just look for Blue Flannel - Having a bad day there should be no triggering with it, except the phrase *T* I hate Horny people, and i hate corny people end *T* The undertakers "Big evil" enterance music - Your gonna pay could be triggering, i've, only seen it as very ehh empowering i guess this one im not going to post in link format, but i will warn it could be triggering, but again it's another very emopowering song to me Mercy Drive - Burn in my light Hey! Hey! Hey! (Hey!) Nothing you can say (say) Nothings gonna change what you’ve done to me (hey) Now its time to shine (shine) I’m gonna take what’s mine Take what’s mine Hey! (Hey!) Nothing you can say (say) Nothings gonna change what you’ve done to me (hey) Now its time to shine (shine) I’m gonna take what’s mine Your gonna burn in my light They tried so hard to follow But no one can Inside you’re all so hollow You understand? Hey! (Hey!) Nothing you can say (say) Nothings gonna change what you’ve done to me (hey) Now its time to shine (shine) I’m gonna take what’s mine While your burning inside my light I gave and you take and I waited for you But I made a mistake It’s clear that your fear is so near Because I see the look on your face You tried to hold me under I held my breath Alone and now you wonder What I possess Hey! (Hey) Nothing you can say (say) Nothings gonna change what you’ve done to me (hey) Now its time to shine (shine) Your gonna burn in the light Hey! Nothing you can say Nothings gonna change what you’ve done to me Now its time to shine I’m gonna take what’s mine While your burning inside my light Venga boys - We like to party Almost always makes me happy.makes me want to live for fun. *T* this next song even the title may be triggering, inside this waning box i will explain why it is rather uplifting to me. Alice Cooper - Take it like a woman the reason why i even heard this song, is because my mom really likes Alice cooper, and this was off one of his last cd's, she felt it was inspirational, on takeing the phrase "Take it like a man" (You know, saying like, come on be a man, and so on) but changeing it to take it like a woman. to me it glorifies how strong women are. and you can't can't feel that by just reading the lyrics. while i have this box up i'll post another Alice cooper song this one makes me cry, it can be triggering depending on my mood(i am bipolar so thats difficult) so be very forewarned, it's very triggering, but, the song, makes it know, that women, are strong, they're own person, individual, and gose through something. Alice cooper - every woman has a name end of *T* i hope that none of these songs upseted anyone, and i put them in lyric form, so it's easier for you to have a chance to back out of reading them.

raincomedown Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Here's one song I like. It's good for when I need to feel anger! Poe- "Control" Don’t you mess with a little girl’s dream ’cause she’s liable to grow up mean Surprised you to find that I’m laughing? You thought that you’d find me in tears You thought I’d be crawling the walls Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear Well you may be king for the moment But I am a queen understand And I’ve got your pawns and your bishops And castles All inside the palm of my hand While you were looking the other way While you had your eyes closed While you were licking your lips ’cause I was miserable While you were selling your soul While you were tearing a hole in me I was taking control Now I have taken control Now I have taken control... This is beginning to feel good Watching you squirm in your shoes A small bead of sweat on your brow And a growl in your belly your scared to let through You thought you could keep me from loving You thought you could feed on my soul But while you were busy destroying my life What was half in me has become whole While you were looking the other way While you had your eyes closed While you were licking your lips ’cause I was miserable While you were selling your soul While you were tearing a hole in me I was taking control Now I have taken control Now I have taken control... So this is how it feels To breath in the summer air The feel the sand between my toes And love inside my ear All those things that you taught me to fear I’ve got them in my garden now And your not welcome here Come a little bit closer Let me look at you I gave you the benefit Of the doubt it’s true But keep in mind my darling Not every saint is a fool While you were looking the other way While you had your eyes closed While you were licking your lips ’cause I was miserable While you were selling your soul While you were tearing a hole in me I was taking control Now I have taken control Now I have taken control... Don’t you mess with me -Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaitlyn Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 (edited) I haven't read through the entire thread, so sorry if some of these are repeats... "Wash away those years" by Creed (possible *T*) She came calling One early morning She showed her crown of thorns She whispered softly To tell her story About how she had been wronged As she lay lifeless He stole her innocence And this is how she carried on this is how she carried on Well I guess she closed her eyes And just imagined everything's alright But she could not hide her tears 'Cause they were sent to wash away those years They were sent to wash away those years My anger's violent But still I'm silent When tradegy strikes at home I know this decadence Is shared by millions Remember you're not alone Remember you're not alone Well if you'll just close your eyes And just imagine everythings alright But do not hide your tears 'Cause they were sent to wash away those years Well if you'll just close your eyes And just imagine everythings alright But do not hide your tears 'Cause they were sent to wash away those years They were sent to wash away those years Maybe we can wash away those years For we have crossed many oceans And we've labored in between In life there are many quotients An I hope I find the mean Well if you'll just close your eyes And just imagine everythings alright But do not hide your tears 'Cause they were sent to wash away those years Well if you'll just close your eyes And just imagine everythings alright But do not hide your tears 'Cause they were sent to wash away those years Maybe we can wash away those years I hope that you can wash away those years "Ask me" by Amy Grant (beautiful song, possibly *T* for CSA) I see her as a little girl hiding in her room She takes another bath and she sprays her momma's perfume To try to wipe away the scent he left behind But it haunts her mind. You see she's his little rag, nothing more than just a waif And he's mopping up his need, she is tired and afraid Maybe she'll find a way through these awful years to disappear. Ask me if I think there's a God up in the heaven Where did He go in the middle of her shame? Ask me if I think there's a God up in the heavens I see no mercy and no one down here's naming names Nobody's naming names. Now she's looking in the mirror at a lovely woman face No more frightened little girl, like she's gone without a trace Still she leaves the light burning in the hall It's hard to sleep at all. Still she crawls up in her bed acting quiet as a mouse Deep inside she's listening for a creaking in the house But noone's left to harm her, she's finally safe and sound There's a peace she's found. Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the heaven Where did He go in the middle of her shame? Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the heavens She said His mercy is bringing her life again. Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heaven (How do you know?) Where did He go in the middle of her shame (Where did He go?) Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens (How do you know?) She said his mercy is bringing her life again She's coming to life again. He's in the middle of her pain In the middle of her shame Mercy brings life He's in the middle Mercy in the middle. So ask me how I know Ask me how I know, yeah Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heaven (How do you know?) Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens (How do you know?) Yeah, ask me how I know (How do you know?) Ask me Ask me Ask me how I know (How do you know?) There's a God up in the heavens Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens. "State of Mind" by Merril Bainbridge (not really healing, but I really relate to it) Where do I go from here? Or am I just like a clock spinning round? Everything seems unclear Confusion is raising its head and I can't make a sound And I feel it Tearing at my soul while I'm asleep I feel it Driving me to something I'll regret What if I make the change? What if I lose all my courage this time? Everything seems so strange Try but I can't seem to make a decision that's right And I feel it Pounding like a drum inside my brain I feel it If it doesn't stop I'll go insane I feel it Tearing at my soul while I'm asleep I feel it Driving me to something I'll regret I feel it...I feel it If it doesn't stop I'll go insane I feel it... "Hear My Song" by Jason Robert Brown Child, I know you're weary and your eyes want to close. The days are getting longer, we're not getting any stronger. Trust me, Mama knows. But lie in my arms while you're sleeping, and think of the rivers you've crossed. I'll tell you the dreams I've been keeping for moments like this, when you're hope is lost. Hear my song, it'll help you believe in tomorrow. Hear my song, it'll show you the way you can shine. Hear my song, it was made for the time when you don't know where to go. Listen to the song that I sing: you'll be fine. Child, I know you're frightened and your throat's parched and dry. But just trust in Mama's singing, and the gift tomorrow's bringing. Trust it, don't ask why. Just lie in my arms and I'll tell you the things you know but forget. The lies that no one ever could sell you, I know that it's hard, but don't give up yet. Hear my song, it'll help you believe in tomorrow. Hear my song, it'll show you the way you can shine. Hear my song, it was made for the times when you don't know where to go. Listen to the song that I sing, you'll be fine. Cause I'll be singing: Hold on. Hold tight. I know it's dark right now, but just believe somehow, that soon, there will be light. Hold on. Hold fast. That's not enough for some, but trust the light will come and we'll get past: you and mama, safe at last. Hear my song, it'll help us get through till tomorrow. Hear my song, it'll help us survive all the pain. Hear my song, it's one thing I have that has never let me down. Listen to the song that I sing. Listen to the words in my heart. Listen to the hope I can bring and you'll start to grow and shine. Listen to the song that I sing and trust me, we'll be fine. A new world calls across the ocean..... "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson Grew up in a small town And when the rain would fall down I'd just stare out my window Dreamin' of what could be And if I'd end up happy I would pray Trying hard to reach out But when I tried to speak out Felt like no one could hear me Wanted to belong here But something felt so wrong here So I prayed I could break away I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And break away Out of the darkness and into the sun But I won't forget all the ones that I love I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away Wanna feel the warm breeze Sleep under a palm tree Feel the rush of the ocean Get on board a fast train Travel on a jetplane, far away And break away I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And break away Out of the darkness and into the sun I won't forget all the ones that I love I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away Buildings with a hundred floors Swinging round revolving doors Maybe I don't know where they'll take me But, gotta keep moving on, moving on Fly away, break away I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye, gotta Take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away Out of the darkness and into the sun But I won't forget of the place I come from I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change And break away Edited June 26, 2005 by onlyhope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetsm Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Music is a big part of healing for me... and even when all the words to a particular song don't apply directly to my issues, certain lines or themes stand out... (This one is how I feel regarding having forgotten most of my life) Carnival Natalie Merchant I’ve walked these streets A virtual stage It seemed to me Make up on their faces Actors took their Places next to me I’ve walked these streets In a carnival Of sights to see All the cheap thrill seekers The vendors and the dealers They crowded around me Have I been blind Have I been lost Inside my self and My own mind Hypnotized Mesmerized By what my eyes have seen? I’ve walked these streets In a spectacle of wealth and poverty In the diamond markets The scarlet welcome carpet That they just rolled out for me I’ve walked these streets In the mad house asylum They can be Where a wild eyed misfit prophet On a traffic island stopped And he raved of saving me Have I been blind Have I been lost Inside my self and My own mind Hypnotized Mesmerized By what my eyes have seen? Have I been wrong Have I been wise To shut my eyes And play along Hypnotized Paralyzed By what my eyes have found By what my eyes have seen What they have seen? Have I been blind Have I been lost Inside my self and My own mind Hypnotized Mesmerized By what my eyes have found In that great street carnival In that carnival? ### Parasol By Tori Amos When I come to terms to terms with this When I come to terms with this When I come to terms to terms with this My world will change for me I haven't moved since the call came Since the call came I haven't moved I stare at the wall knowing on the other side The storm that waits for me Then the Seated Woman with a Parasol May be the only one you can't betray If I'm the Seated Woman with a Parasol I will be safe in my frame I have no need for a sea view For a sea view I have no need I have my little pleasures This wall being one of these When I come to terms to terms with this When I come to terms with this When I come to terms with this whip lash of silk on wool embroidery Then the Seated Woman with a Parasol May be the only one you can't betray If I'm the Seated Woman with a Parasol I will be safe in my frame I will be safe In my frame In your house In your frame ### Possible *T* Girl Tori amos From in the shadow she calls And in the shadow she finds a way Finds a way And in the shadow she crawls Clutching her faded photograph My image under her thumb Yes, with a message from my heart Yes, with a message from my heart She's been everybody else's girl Maybe one day she'll be her own Everybody else's girl Maybe one day she'll be her own And in the doorway they stay And laugh as violins fill with water Screams from the bluebells Can't make them go away Well I'm not seventeen But I've cuts on my knees Falling down as the winter Takes one more cherry tree She's been everybody else's girl Maybe one day she'll be her own Everybody else's girl Maybe one day she'll be her own Rushin' rivers, thread so thin, limitation Dreams with the flying pigs, turbin blue and the drugstores too Safe in their coats and in their do's Yeah, smother in our hearts a pillow to my dots One day maybe one day One day she'll be her own And in the mist there she rides And castles are burning in my heart And as I twist I hold tight And I ride to work every morning wondering why "Sit in the chair and be good now" And become all that they told you The white coats enter her room And I'm callin' my baby, callin' my baby, callin' my baby, callin' Everybody else's girl Maybe one day she'll be her own Everybody else's girl Maybe one day she'll be her own ### Another possible **T** Precious Things By Tori Amos So I ran faster But it caught me here Yes my loyalties turned Like my ankle In the seventh grade Running after Billy Running after the rain These precious things Let them bleed, let them wash away These precious things Let them break, their hold over me He said you're really an ugly girl But I like the way you play And I died But I thanked him Can you believe that sick Holding on to his picture Dressing up every day I wanna smash the faces Of those beautiful boys Those Christian boys So you can make me cum That doesn't make you Jesus These precious things Let them bleed, let them wash away These precious things Let them break, their hold over me I remember, yes In my peach party dress No one dared No one cared to tell me Where the pretty girls are Those demigods With their nine-inch nails And little fascist panties Tucked inside the heart of every nice girl These precious things Let them bleed, let them wash away These precious things Let them break, their hold over me ### And LAST one... lol Can you tell I love Tori Amos? May ****T*** (I like to play this one on the piano and really hit the keys hard and loud when she sings "feel the word" and to really feel the music when she's sing "I could have, I should have, I didn't... so..." That last line is the most healing line for me. ) Icicle Icicle Icicle where are you going I have a hiding place when spring marches in will you keep watch for me I hear them calling gonna lay down gonna lay down greeting the monster in our Easter dresses Father says bow your head like the Good Book says well I think the Good Book is missing some pages gonna lay down gonna lay down and when my hand touches myself I can finally rest my head and when they say take from his body I think I'll take from mine instead Getting Off Getting Off while they're all downstairs singing prayers sing away he's in my pumpkin p.j's lay your book on my chest feel the word feel the word feel the word feel it I could have I should have I could have flown you know I could have I should have I didn't so ****END TRIGGER**** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusgirl24 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 (edited) the person who said music is apart of they're healing, i agree with, it's apart of me, in most everything i try to acomplish, as well as a few other friends. Before i post these lyrics, i'd like to say, that i first heard these for a video, called desire, for a wrestler Named Jeff Hardy(my girlfriend likes Wrestling) Since hearing this song, it, and Jeff hardy, have been very inspirational (though Jeff is inspiratonal to many, as well as his Brother Matt Hardy) but when i first heard this song, i got a panic attack, not because of bad things, but because it was so inspiering, if that makes sence to anyone. and if the lyrics are confusing and don't seem inspirational to anyone, i think it may be, because of the video i saw, and what i know from my girlfriend, about Jeff Hardy. just thought i would warn anyone(since it kinda did the same thing for another friend of mine as well) who may want to hear the song. (Jeff Hardy writes poems, and Songs too, however i can not find any of his lyrics on the net, but i can find his poems) Our lady peace - "Not Enough" There's nothing you can say Nothing you can do There's nothing in between You know the truth Nothing left to face There's nothing left to lose Nothing takes your place... When they say you're not that strong You're not that weak It's not your fault And when you climb Up to your hill Up to your place I hope you're well There's nothing left to prove There's nothing I wont do There's nothing like the pain I feel for you Nothing left to hide Nothing left to fear I am always here... When they say you're not that strong You're not that weak It's not your fault And when you climb Up to your hill Up to your place I hope you're well What you want What you lost What you had What is gone is over What you got What you love What you need What you have is real It's not enough, It's not enough, It's not enough, It's not enough I'm sorry, It's not enough, It's not enough, It's not enough, It's not enough When they say you're not that strong You're not that weak It's not your fault And when you climb Up to your hill Up to your place I hope you're well It's not enough No, it's not enough It's not enough More Our lady peace lyrics, (i suppose they're becoming one of my more favorite bands) *TRIGGER WARNING* i've cryed many times listening to this song. "Innocent" Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous Spends his time alone in the basement With Lennon and Cobain and a guitar and a stereo And while he wishes he could escape this But it all seems so contagious Not to be yourself and faceless In a song that has no soul I remember feeling low I remember losing hope And I remember all the feelings And the day they stopped We are, we are all innocent We are all innocent, we are, we are all We are, we are all innocent We are all innocent, we are, we are all Oh, and Tina's losing faith in what she knows Hates her music, hates all of her clothes Thinks of surgery and a new nose Every calorie's a war, And while she wishes she was a dancer And that she never heard of cancer She wishes God would give her some answers And make her feel beautiful I remember feeling low I remember losing hope And I remember all the feelings And the day they stopped We are, we are all innocent We are all innocent, we are, we are We are, we are all innocent We are all innocent, we are, we are One day you'll have to let it go You'll have to let it go One day you'll stand up on your own You'll stand up on your own Remember losing hope Remember feeling low Remember all the feelings and the day they stopped We are, we are all innocent We are all innocent, we are, we are We are, we are all innocent We are all innocent, we are, we are We are, we are all innocent We are all innocent, we are, we are We are, we are all innocent We are all innocent, we are, we are We are, we are all innocent *End tirgger* "Whatever( to me this is quite an inspireing song as well, to keep going, but seems more along the lines or either having enuff, or revenge .) There's no holding me back Im not driven by fear Im just driven by anger And your under attack Just climbing up slowly Im the one the only, I The tease, the way you lie The stumble in your mind The fear, the hope inside The hit here, the hit here But whatever you need Ever you got Ever you want Ill take back again Watever you need Ever you got ever you want I'll take back again theres no holding me back im not driven by fear im just driven by anger and your under attack just climbing up slowly im the one and only, I the tease, the ways you lie the stumble in your mind the fear the hope inside the hit here, the hit here but whatever you need ever you got ever you want ill take back again whatever you need ever you got ever you want ill take back but whatever you need ever you got but whatever you need ever you got ever you want ill take back again whatever you need ever you got ever you want ill take back again whatever you need ever you got ever you want ill take back but whatever you need ever you got whatever you whatever you whatever you whatever you Edited June 28, 2005 by Lotusgirl24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallydon'tknow Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 *I think of this as a song that relates to the fight with the two sides inside* Perfect Grave- Social Distortion In your room You sleep all day so nothing gets to you Oh You dug a hole But i will not crawl into it with you If it's the last thing I do I will not follow you to a perfect grave And I will not stand here while you throw it all away but I'll keep hoping that you won't fall in all the way You take your pill You choke 'em down but every swallow kills me I will not follow you to a perfect grave And I will not stand here while you throw it all away But I'll keep hoping that you wont fall in all the way And I'll never know what you're feeling inside And now that you're buried alive But I could keep digging and wreck my life too If it's the last thing I'd do Cold- Crossfade Looking back at me I see That I never really got it right I never stopped to think of you I'm always wrapped up in Things I cannnot win You are the antidote that gets me by Something strong Like a drug that gets me high What I really meant to say Is I'm sorry for the way I am I never meant to be so cold to you And I'm sorry about all the lies Maybe in a different light You could see me stand on my own again Cause now i can see You were the antidote that got me by Something strong like a drug that got me high I never meant to be so cold I never really wanted you to see The screwed up side of me that I keep Locked inside of me so deep It always seems to get to me I never really wanted you to go So many things you should have known I guess for me theres just no hope I never meant to be so cold *I love this song (and Mae of course)! Ignore the 1st line, because I don't know if it relates to this post's topic* Anything- Mae love, its the wave i ride, that won't ever reach the shore. overwhelmed by the tide and wanting nothing more, tonight. than to take this time and make it all mine. its coming around again. every now and again sometimes, i get lost on the wind of a dream. the air gets clean and the seas get wide. and i can do anything. the pain it won't even cross my mind. there is wonder in everything. the rope gets loose and the chains unbind. and i can do anything. hope, its the light that strikes, that burns inside of me. its a blinding light, but somehow i can see, again. when i've lost my way. its becoming very clear. and its coming around again. every now and again sometime, i get lost on the wind of a dream. the air gets clean and the seas get wide and i can do anything. the pain it won't even cross my mind. there is wonder in everything. the rope gets loose, and the chains unbind. and i can do anything. somewhere between the darkest and the light. my spirit takes to fly. the colors fill the sky, and i am free, oh ohh. its coming around again. its coming around again. its coming around again. every now and again sometime, i get lost on the wind of a dream. the air gets clean and the seas get wide and i can do anything. the pain it won't even cross my mind. there is wonder in everything. the rope gets loose, the chains unbind. and i can do anything. every now and again sometime, i get lost on the wind of a dream the rope gets loose, the chains unbind. and i can do anything. Letting the Cables Sleep- Bush You in the dark You in the pain You on the run Living a hell Living your ghost Living your end Never seem to get in the place that I belong Don't wanna lose the time Lose the time to come Whatever you say it's alright Whatever you do it's all good Whatever you say it's alright Silence is not the way We need to talk about it If heaven is on the way If heaven is on the way You in the sea On a decline Breaking the waves Watching the lights go down Letting the cables sleep Whatever you say it's alright Whatever you do it's all good Whatever you say it's alright Silence is not the way We need to talk about it If heaven is on the way We'll wrap the world around it If heaven is on the way If heaven is on the way I'm a stranger in this town I'm a stranger in this town If heaven is on the way If heaven is on the way I'm a stranger in this town I'm a stranger in this town *Don't know how healing this is but it relates when things aren't great* Hurt-NIN I hurt myself today to see if I still feel I focus on the pain the only thing that's real the needle tears a hole the old familiar sting try to kill it all away but I remember everything what have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end you could have it all my empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of shit upon my liar's chair full of broken thoughts I cannot repair beneath the stains of time the feeling disappear you are someone else I am still right here what have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end you could have it all my empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt if I could start again a million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way *or this one either* Here to Stay- Korn This time, taking it away I've got a problem, with me getting in the way, Not by design So I take my face and bash it into a mirror. I won't have to see the pain (Bleed, Bleed) This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating. Anticipating, all the fucked up feelings again. The hurt inside is fading This shit's gone way too far. All this time I've been waiting No I can not grieve anymore. For what's inside awaking. I'm not, I'm not a whore You've taken everything and oh I can not give anymore. My mind is done with this Okay, I've got a question. "Can I throw it all away?" Take back what's mine So I take my time, guiding the blade down the line Each cut closer to the vein (Bleed, Bleed) This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating. Anticipating, all the fucked up feelings again. The hurt inside is fading This shit's gone way too far. All this time I've been waiting No I can not grieve anymore. For what's inside awaking. I'm not, I’m not a whore You've taken everything and oh I can not give anymore. I'm here to stay (bring it down) Bring it down Gunna break it down GUNNA BREAK IT! This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating. Anticipating, all the fucked up feelings again. The hurt inside is fading This shit's gone way too far. All this time I've been waiting No I can not grieve anymore. For what's inside awaking. I'm not, I'm not a whore You've taken everything and oh I can not give anymore. Give anymore. Pros and Cons of Breathing- Fall Out Boy Bury me standing under your window with the cinder block in hand Yeah cause no one will ever feel like this again And if I could move I'm sure it would only be to crawl back to you I must have dragged my guts a block... they were gone by the time we (talked)... I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself But you know that I could crush you with my voice Stood on my roof and tried to see you forgetting about me Hide the details I don't want to know a thing I hate the way you say my name like it's something secret My pen is the barrel of the gun. Remind me which side you should be on I wish that I was as invisible as you make me feel. Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own - U2 Tough, you think you've got the stuff You're telling me and anyone You're hard enough You don't have to put up a fight You don't have to always be right Let me take some of the punches For you tonight Listen to me now I need to let you know You don't have to go it alone And it's you when I look in the mirror And it's you when I don't pick up the phone Sometimes you can't make it on your own We fight all the time You and I...that's alright We're the same soul I don't need...I don't need to hear you say That if we weren't so alike You'd like me a whole lot more Listen to me now I need to let you know You don't have to go it alone And it's you when I look in the mirror And it's you when I don't pick up the phone Sometimes you can't make it on your own I know that we don't talk I'm sick of it all Can - you - hear - me - when - I - Sing, you're the reason I sing You're the reason why the opera is in me... Where are we now? I've still got to let you know A house still doesn't make a home Don't leave me here alone... And it's you when I look in the mirror And it's you that makes it hard to let go Sometimes you can't make it on your own Sometimes you can't make it The best you can do is to fake it Sometimes you can't make it on your own Passive- A Perfect Circle Dead as dead can be The doctor tells me But I just can't believe him Ever the optimistic one I'm sure of your ability To become my perfect enemy Wake up and face me Don't play dead 'cause maybe Someday I’ll walk away and say You disappoint me Maybe you're better off this way Leaning over you here Cold and catatonic I catch a brief reflection Of what you could and might have been It's your right and your ability To become my perfect enemy Wake up (Why can’t you?)

You fucking disappoint me Passive-aggressive bullshit... *Wash Away Those Years was already posted by someone* Inside Us All- Creed When I'm all alone And no one else is there Waiting by the phone To remind me I'm still here When shadows paint the scenes Where spotlights used to fall And I'm left wondering Is it really worth it all? There's a peace inside us all Let it be your friend It will help you carry on In the end There's a peace inside us all Life can hold you down When you're not looking up Can't you hear the sounds? Hearts beating out loud Although the names change Inside we're all the same Why can't we tear down these walls? To show the scars we're covering There's a peace inside us all Let it be your friend It will help you carry on In the end There's a peace inside us all There's a peace Oh there's a peace inside us all Let it be... Oh, I said let it be, let it be your friend There's a peace inside us all Let it be your friend It will help you carry on In the End There's a peace inside us all There's a peace, inside us all, Inside us all Let it be, Let it be, Let it be, Let it be, Let it be, Let it be, Let it be, Let it be your friend. Weathered- Creed I lie awake on a long, dark night I can't seem to tame my mind Slings and arrows are killing me inside Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine No I can't accept the life that's mine Simple living is my desperate cry Been trading "love" with indifference yeah it suits me just fine I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone Maybe that's why I feel alone Maybe that's why I feel alone Me..I'm rusted and weathered Barely holding together I'm covered with skin that peels and it just won't heal The sun shines and I can't avoid the light I think I'm holding on to life too tight Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Sometimes I feel like giving up Sometimes I feel like giving up Me...I'm rusted and weathered Barely holding together I'm covered with skin that peels and it just won't heal The day reminds me of you The night hides your truth The earth is a voice Speaking to you Take all this pride And leave it behind Because one day it ends One day we die Believe what you will That is your right But I choose to win So I choose to fight To fight Parabola- Tool We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment, We are Choosing to be here, right now. Hold on, stay inside... This hoooooly realityy, this hoooooly experience. Choosing to be here in... This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion. Aliiiiive! In this hoooooly reality, in this hoooooly experience. Choosing to be here in... This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion... Twirling round with this familiar parable. Spinning, weaving round each new experience. Recognize this as a holy gift and, celebrate this (chance to beeeeee alive and breathing 2x) This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality. Embrace this moment. Remember. we are eternal. all this pain is an illusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfstar Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) I heard this song Silence Broken a few months ago and started crying because it brought my memories about abuse to my mind. It described my experiences and feelings almost perfectly. It has helped me to deal with those memories and fear. You can download the song for free from the singer and songwriter Alarandiia's page http://www.alarandiia.com/12334.html. Silence Broken by Alarandiia Silence your screams little girl No one can hear your cries Silence your screams little girl And just close your eyes... Closer now Too close for comfort Closer to the loss of control Restrained at the wrists It's hurting me Soft hands became fists This doesn't feel right It should feel right But it doesn't... Closer still Closer to the rest of my life Innocence stolen from me Why'd you take it? Crimson tainted impurities I'll never be the same again... Silence your screams little girl She cries at night, all night No one can hear your cries I hear her every night Silence your screams little girl She cries at night, all night And just close your eyes... I should have left sooner... Disbelief I can't believe he's doing this to me So hurtfully, Carelessely, I thought he loved me But he only loved a part of me Silence your screams little girl She cries at night, all night No one can hear your cries I hear her every night Silence your screams little girl She cries at night, all night And just close your eyes... Years go by and still I try To understand Why his hands were so cold Years go by, the memories came back I know he heard When I whispered "no"... I've silenced those screams, not a little girl The tears, no longer in my eyes I've silenced those screams, never again a little girl Just a victim Who’s learnt again How to smile -- Caged is an anxious song that deals with sorrow, pain and deceit. Caged by Within Temptation These are the darkest clouds To have surrounded me Now I find my self alone caught in a cage There's no flower to be found in here Not withering Or pale to me Everyone with a friendly face Seems to hide some secret inside (Chorus) He told me he loved me While he laughed in my face He just led me astray He took my virtue I feel so cold inside Sorrow has frozen my mind My heart is covered With thoughts entangled How could it ever have felt so real? Is there a place more lonely than I feel within? Could I have seen? Could I have known? I just took it as the truth Everyone with a friendly face Seems to hide some secret inside (Chorus) Always there to remind me To keep me from believing That someone might be there Who’ll free me and never ever lease me (Chorus) -- I find this song very encouraging. Soar by Christina Aguilera When they push when they pull, tell me can you hold on When they say you should change, Can you lift your head high and stay strong Will you give up, give in When your heart’s crying out that it’s wrong Will you love you for you at the end of it all In life, there’s gonna be times when you’re feeling low And in your mind insecurity seems to take control We start to look outside ourselves For acceptance and approval We keep forgettin’ that the one thing we should know is (Chorus) Don’t be scared to fly alone, Find a path that is your own Love will open every door Its in your hands, the world is yours Don’t hold back and always know All the answers they will unfold What are you waiting for, Spread your wings and soar The boy who wonders is he good enough for them Keeps tryin’ to please ’em all But he just never seems to fit in Then there the girl who thinks She’ll never ever be good enough for him Keeps tryin’ to change And that’s a game she’ll never win Now in life there’s gonna be times When you’re feeling low And in your mind insecurities Seem to take control We start to look outside ourselves For acceptance and approval We keep forgetting that the one thing We should know is (Chorus) In the mirror is where she comes face to face with her fears Her own reflection now foreign to her after all these years All of her life she has tried to be something beside herself Now time has passed And she’s ended up someone else with regret What is it in us that makes us feel the need To keep pretending Gotta let ourselves be (Repeat chorus 2x) Edited July 1, 2005 by Elfstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaitlyn Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) Haven't posted this until now because little kel kept protesting that it was her lullaby. But I explained to her that maybe it would make others feel safe too. So she finally said it was ok. Lullabye For a Stormy Night (Download here) little child, be not afraid though rain pounds harshly against the glass like an unwanted stranger, there is no danger I am here tonight little child, be not afraid though thunder explodes and lightning flash illuminates your tear-stained face I am here tonight and someday you'll know that nature is so the same rain that draws you near me falls on rivers and land on forests and sand makes the beautiful world that you'll see in the morning little child, be not afraid though storm clouds mask your beloved moon and its candlelight beams, still keep pleasant dreams I am here tonight little child, be not afraid though wind makes creatures of our trees and their branches to hands, they're not real, understand and I am here tonight for you know, once even I was a little child, and I was afraid but a gentle someone always came to dry all my tears, trade sweet sleep for fears and to give a kiss goodnight well now I am grown and these years have shown that rain's a part of how life goes but it's dark and it's late so I'll hold you and wait 'til your frightened eyes do close and I hope that you'll know... everything's fine in the morning the rain'll be gone in the morning but I'll still be here in the morning Edited July 1, 2005 by onlyhope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusgirl24 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 *Don't know how healing this is but it relates when things aren't great*Hurt-NIN I hurt myself today to see if I still feel I focus on the pain the only thing that's real the needle tears a hole the old familiar sting try to kill it all away but I remember everything what have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end you could have it all my empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of shit upon my liar's chair full of broken thoughts I cannot repair beneath the stains of time the feeling disappear you are someone else I am still right here what have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end you could have it all my empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt if I could start again a million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way *or this one either* Here to Stay- Korn This time, taking it away I've got a problem, with me getting in the way, Not by design So I take my face and bash it into a mirror. I won't have to see the pain (Bleed, Bleed) This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating. Anticipating, all the fucked up feelings again. The hurt inside is fading This shit's gone way too far. All this time I've been waiting No I can not grieve anymore. For what's inside awaking. I'm not, I'm not a whore You've taken everything and oh I can not give anymore. My mind is done with this Okay, I've got a question. "Can I throw it all away?" Take back what's mine So I take my time, guiding the blade down the line Each cut closer to the vein (Bleed, Bleed) This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating. Anticipating, all the fucked up feelings again. The hurt inside is fading This shit's gone way too far. All this time I've been waiting No I can not grieve anymore. For what's inside awaking. I'm not, I’m not a whore You've taken everything and oh I can not give anymore. I'm here to stay (bring it down) Bring it down Gunna break it down GUNNA BREAK IT! This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating. Anticipating, all the fucked up feelings again. The hurt inside is fading This shit's gone way too far. All this time I've been waiting No I can not grieve anymore. For what's inside awaking. I'm not, I'm not a whore You've taken everything and oh I can not give anymore. Give anymore. Weathered- Creed I lie awake on a long, dark night I can't seem to tame my mind Slings and arrows are killing me inside Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine No I can't accept the life that's mine Simple living is my desperate cry Been trading "love" with indifference yeah it suits me just fine I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone Maybe that's why I feel alone Maybe that's why I feel alone Me..I'm rusted and weathered Barely holding together I'm covered with skin that peels and it just won't heal The sun shines and I can't avoid the light I think I'm holding on to life too tight Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Sometimes I feel like giving up Sometimes I feel like giving up Me...I'm rusted and weathered Barely holding together I'm covered with skin that peels and it just won't heal The day reminds me of you The night hides your truth The earth is a voice Speaking to you Take all this pride And leave it behind Because one day it ends One day we die Believe what you will That is your right But I choose to win So I choose to fight To fight 201766[/snapback] I was afraid to post those lyrics, (all 3 of em, including any other korn song, those are a MAJOR trigger warning) i thank you for posting them.

Elfstar Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Here are lyrics to two old Evanescence songs that I find comforting. You can download Give Unto Me here. Give unto me by Evanescence I've been watching you from a distance But distance sees through your disguise All I want from you is your hurting I want to heal you I want to save you from the dark Give unto me your troubles I'll endure your suffering Place onto me your burdens I'll drink your deadly poison Why should I care if they hurt you Somehow it matters more to me Than if I were hurting myself Save you, I'll save you Fear not the flame of my love's candle Give unto me your troubles I'll endure your suffering Place onto me your burdens I'll drink your deadly poison Give unto me your troubles I'll endure your suffering Place onto me your burdens I'll drink your deadly poison Fear not the flame of my love's candle Let it be the sun in your world of darkness Listen to the rain by Evanescence Listen, listen, listen... Listen to each drop of rain Whispering secrets in vain Frantically searching for someone to hear That story be more than it hides "Please don't let go Can't we stay for a while? It's just to hard to say goodbye." Listen to the rain Aa...ah Listen listen listen listen listen listen to the rain Weeping Ooh... Listen, listen... I stand alone in the storm Suddenly sweet words they come "Hurry," they say "for you haven't much time Open your eyes to the love around you You may feel you're alone But I'm here still with you You can do what you dream Just remember to listen to the rain" Ooh...
