tragictruth Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 LUPE FIASCO- INTRUDER ALERT Verse 1 She said that there was no love in her heart Cause one day a rapist attacked her and broke That all apart She said there was no way to fix it Or to cover her scars Then one day a guy came along that Probably could help her start He was sincere made her believe it was safe For her to trust again Before long she was cool to giving hugs to him Knew that it was right cause somethin was wrong The alarms in her mind didn't tell her he didn't belong There was no [Chorus:] Intruder [x4] Alert [x4] CHEVELLE- PANIC PRONE Gave in Again The bastard Can't keep refusing rights So he'll loan the cash But the sin Is on the hands of you [Chorus:] So to care or Plead silence, weak hands are calling There's close enough And there's too far It won't change an empty stare But I can't seem to end These images Hauntingly looks like hell [Chorus] Come, Enter the foreign.

Guest scarredangel Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 this is a song i really like. it really describes the mask that i often hide behind and how it feels to know that God sees who i really am with no pretending. Natalie Grant- the real me... Foolish heart looks like we're here again Same old game of plastic smile Don't let anybody in Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break How much will they take before I'm empty Do I let it show, does anybody know? [Chorus:] But you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within Unveil me completely I'm loosening my grasp There's no need to mask my frailty Cause you see the real me Painted on, life is behind a mask Self-inflicted circus clown I'm tired of the song and dance Living a charade, always on parade What a mess I've made of my existence But you love me even now And still I see somehow But you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within Unveil me completely I'm loosening my grasp There's no need to mask my frailty Cause you see the real me Wonderful, beautiful is what you see When you look at me You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into A perfect tapestry I just wanna be me But you see the real me Hiding in my skin, broken from within Unveil me completely I'm loosening my grasp There's no need to mask my frailty Cause you see the real me And you love me just as I am Wonderful, beautiful is what you see When you look at me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa_T Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) I was reading this while awaiting my account activation. I find music has been one of my biggest comforts, it helps to get emotions out that sometimes just can't be verbalized. Alive - Jennifer Lopez (This is my favorite) Time goes slowly now in my life Fear no more of what I'm not sure Searching to feel your soul The strength to stand alone the power of not knowing and letting go I guess I've found my way it's simple when its right Feeling lucky just to be here tonight and happy just to be me and be alive. Love, in and out, of my... my heart, And though life can be strange I can't be afraid Searching to feel your soul, the strength to stand alone, The power of not knowing and letting go I guess I've found my way it's simple when it's right Feeling lucky just to be here tonight and happy just to be me and be alive I guess I've found my way it's simple when its right feeling lucky just to be here tonight and happy just to be me and to be alive.

Lisa_T Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Believe In Me - Demi Lovato I'm losing myself Trying to compete With everyone else Instead of just being me Don't know where to turn I've been stuck in this routine I need to change my ways Instead of always being weak I don't wanna be afraid I wanna wake up feeling beautiful..today And know that I'm okay Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways So you see, I just wanna believe in me The mirror can lie Doesn't show you what's inside And it, it can tell you you're full of life It's amazing what you can hide Just by putting on a smile I'm quickly finding out I'm not about to break down Not today I guess I always knew That I had all the strength to make it through Not gonna be afraid I'm going to wake up feeling beautiful..today And know that I'm okay Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways So you see, now, now I believe in me Now I believe in me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondeyes Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I love this song... the Deftones have always been "that" band with music that always seems to find me when I need comfort and support. This song is like my boyfriend (haha), it makes me feel beautiful and happy to be alive and that I'm not alone in all of this! Deftones - Beauty School I like you when, when you take off your face you put away all your teeth and take us way underneath 'cause you could die if you take it alone I watch you taste it I see your face, and I know I'm alive you're shooting stars from the barrel of your eyes and it drives me crazy, just drives me wild I kind of like you when, when you make up the reel take the phone in your room stop the tape or resume well you could try if you think it will load I watch you taste it I see your face, and I know I'm alive you're shooting stars from the barrel of your eyes and it drives me crazy, it drives me wild everytime, everytime you try ride, it's a beautiful ride why, it's a beautiful ride I watch you taste it I see your face, and I know I'm alive you're shooting stars from the barrel of your eyes and it drives me crazy, it drives me wild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex12345 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 **May trigger** This song from Carrie Underwood is not really a healing song but it reminds me of the past because of the words "house of sins" especially even though she is not talking about CSA. I like upbeat songs so I like it. "Blown Away" Dry lightning cracks across the skies Those storm clouds gather in her eyes Her daddy was a mean old mister Mama was an angel in the ground The weather man called for a twister She prayed blow it down There's not enough rain in Oklahoma To wash the sins out of that house There's not enough wind in Oklahoma To rip the nails out of the past [Chorus:] Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away, Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away 'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away, Blown away She heard those sirens screaming out Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch She locked herself in the cellar Listened to the screaming of the wind Some people call it taking shelter She called it sweet revenge [Chorus:] Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away, Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away 'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away, Blown away There's not enough rain in Oklahoma To wash the sins out of that house There's not enough wind in Oklahoma To rip the nails out of the past Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away (blown away) Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away (blown away) 'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday (blown away) Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away, Blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllyriasAcolyte Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Her Diamonds by Rob Thomas always reminds me of the time when I was just a secondary survivor. Even though it was written about his wife having cancer, it still holds true for most every debilitating experience. I understand it better now that it's happened to me. I'm also posting Sara Evans' Stronger, because I had that looped like, continuously just after my fiance and I broke up. "Her Diamonds" Oh what the hell she said 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 doing 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 oh I can't take no more Her tears like diamonds on the floor And her diamonds bring me down Cause I can't help her now She's down in it She tried her best but now she can't win it 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 oh I can't take no more Her tears like diamonds on the floor And her diamonds bring me down Cause I can't help her now She's down in it She tried her best but now she can't win it 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 alright She'll be alright Just not tonight And she says oh I can't take no more Her tears like diamonds on the floor And her diamonds bring me down Cause I can't help her now She's down in it She tried her best but now she can't win it Hard to see them on the ground Her diamonds falling down "A Little Bit Stronger" Woke up late today, and I still feel the sting of the pain. But I brushed my teeth anyway, got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face. I got a little bit stronger. Riding in the car to work, and I'm trying to ignore the hurt. So I turned on the radio, Stupid song made me think of you, I listened to it for minute, but then I changed it. I'm getting a little bit stronger, just a little bit stronger. And I'm done hoping that we can work it out, I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels Letting you drag my heart around. And ohhh I'm done thinking, that you could ever change. I know my heart will never be the same, but I'm telling myself I'll be okay. Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger. Doesn't happen over night, but you turn around and a months gone by, And you realize you haven't cried. I'm not giving you a hour or a second or another minute longer. I'm busy getting stronger. And I'm done hoping that we can work it out, I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels Letting you drag my heart around. And ohhh I'm done thinking, that you could ever change. I know my heart will never be the same, but I'm telling myself I'll be okay. Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger. I get a little bit stronger. Getting along without you baby, I'm better off without you baby, How does it feel with out me baby? I'm getting stronger without you baby. And I'm done hoping that we can work it out, I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels Letting you drag my heart around. And ohhh I'm done thinking, that you could ever change. I know my heart will never be the same, but I'm telling myself I'll be okay, Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger. I get a little bit stronger. I'm just a little bit stronger. A little bit, a little bit, a little bit stronger. I get a little bit stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristi Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 This is by Sara Groves. I got it in a Beyond the Silence abuse support group at church using the Into the Wildflowers workbook. It is a healing song. Just Showed Up For My Own Life : Spending my time sleep walking Moving my mouth but not saying a thing Hoping the changes would take by working their way from the outside in I was in love with an idea Preoccupied with how a life should appear Spending my time at the surface repairing the holes in the shiny veneer There are so many ways to hide There are so many ways not to feel There are so many ways to deny what is real And I just showed up for my own life And I'm standing here taking it in and it sure looks bright I'm going to live my life inspired Look for the holy in the common place Open the windows and feel all that's honest and real until I'm truly amazed I'm going to feel all my emotions I'm going to look you in the eyes I'm going to listen and hear until it's finally clear and it changes our lives There are so many ways to hide There are so many ways not to feel There are so many ways to deny what is real And I just showed up for my own life And I'm standing here taking it in and it sure looks bright Oh the glory of God is man fully alive Oh the glory of God is man fully alive There are so many ways to hide There are so many ways not to feel There are so many ways to deny what is real And I just showed up for my own life And I'm standing here taking it in and it sure looks bright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mags Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hey guys, new to the site (1st post). Music has been one of my few allies in recovering. Here are the songs that are helping me get through it: *Note: I don't know if these are going to be triggering for some or not. But they give me strength and make me feel less alone. PASSENGER "NEEDLE IN THE DARK" With progress comes problems With wisdom comes age With lessons come learning And pleasure comes with pain You can only have the sunshine after the rain I took a walk It got me thinking Left foot right foot Smiling blinking Breathe out breathe in Somehow linking My soul to my mind and my heart to my mouth Lost and the found and the north to the south And the corners to the circle in my mind You may find that the gate has been locked When we come back down to what we really are Retrace the footprints off the path that is lost It's like trying to find a needle in the dark My hands they are empty but they are clean I'm poor but I'm healthy I'm halfway between The gutter and the skyline I took a walk to the land's end Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com Thinking ‘bout an ex-girlfriend that I had And the pages that I've turned And it seems to me That we all love the chase But once we're caught we feel encased Behind bars of love and trust Uprooted by drunken lust By people people just like us people people just like us You may find that the gate has been locked When we come back down to what we really are Retrace the footprints off the path that is lost It's like trying to find a needle in the dark I took a walk to the station Lost in my imagination Having private conversations with myself And I'm stumbling ‘round And I wait for the sound Of this crumbling town to come tumbling down People say I'm just bummin' around But I've had both my ears to the ground BEACH HOUSE "TAKE CARE" Stand beside it, we can't hide the way it makes us glow It's no good unless it grows, feel this burning love of mine Deep inside the ever-spinning, tell me does it feel It's no good unless it's real, hill sides burning Wild-eyed turning till we're running from it I'd take care of you if you'd ask me to In a year or two You say swimming in the lake we'll come across a snake It is real and then it's fake, feel it's heartbeat Feel what you heat, far so fast it feels too late I'd take care of you if you'd ask me to In a year or two I'll take care of you, take care of you, that's true... DONKEYBOY "AMBITIONS" Now, I can't behave I feel it in my feet on the streets But don't you know? There's something I can feel when I breathe I told you once You're breaking into separate parts But don't you know? It's something that I can't live without And if somebody's going to make it then this somebody ought to be you And I keep telling my reflection Ambitions are already starting to fade I can't tolerate The feelings that I feel when I feel But don't you know? Some feelings never seem to let go Like a silverblade I cut my way out of control But don't you know? Some blades will cut you right to the bone And if somebody's going to make it then this somebody ought to be you And if somebody's going to fake it then this somebody, somebody is you If it's me that was going to take it then I know that it wouldn't be straight And I keep telling my reflection Ambitions are already starting to fade I Can't tolerate...

Music_Lover Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) I started typing the lyrics for "Perfect" and then accidentally hit "post" before I was done, so ignore this.

Music_Lover Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) I've been listening to this a lot, and it has really helped me! PERFECT (By Pink) Verse 1: Made a wrong turn once or twice. Dug my way out, blood and fire. Bad decisions, that's alright. Welcomed to my silly life. Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood. There's no way it's all good. It didn't slow me down. Mistaken, always second guessing. Underestimated, look I'm still around. Chorus: Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel like you're less than, less than perfect. Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you're nothing; you are perfect to me. Verse 2: You're so mean when you talk about yourself. You were wrong. Change the voices in your head. Make them like you instead. So complicated, look how we all made it. Filled with so much hatred; such a tired game. It's enough; I've done all I can think of, chased down all my demons. Say you'll do the same. Edited October 14, 2013 by Music_Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRAE Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Demi Lovato "Let It Go" Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn my back and slam the door The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, Not a footprint to be seen. A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queen. The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside. Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried. Don't let them in, don't let them see, Be the good girl you always had to be. Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know. Well now they know. Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn my back and slam the door And here I stand and here I'll stay Let it go, let it go The cold never bothered me anyway It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all. Up here in the cold thin air I finally can breathe. I know I left a life behind but I'm too relieved to grieve. Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn my back and slam the door And here I stand, and here I'll stay Let it go, let it go The cold never bothered me anyway Standing frozen In the life I've chosen. You won't find me. The past is all behind me Buried in the snow. Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn my back and slam the door And here I stand, and here I'll stay Let it go, let it go The cold never bothered me anyway, yeah, whoa (Na na, na na, na na na na) [4x] Let it go Na, na. Here I stand. Let it go, let it go, oh Let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiiXX Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Pentatonix excellent band. White Christmas is such a great song, one of the best lyrics of 2016. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten And children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten And children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten And children listen To hear the sleigh bells merrily on high I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white White Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julia272 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Out of the Ashes by Beyond the Black on their new Album Horizons is amazing. Lyrics: Dark feathers on the groundHands try to pull me downMy wings are beatingMy sky is out of reachBeyond the truth I seekMy dreams are bleeding(My dreams are bleeding) Surrender to the painAnd twisting in the flameHow I am burningI wake up in the coalsSurprised to find I'm wholeI am returning(I am returning) I'm shaking off my wings'Cause today I am reborn Stepping out of the ashes, aliveWas burning like stars as they collideNo more playing with matches, survivedOut of the ashesI'm alive I'm brushing off the dirtAnd healing from the hurtA new beginningYou join me in the fightBeyond the black of nightWe are winning(We are winning) We're glowing in the darkOur spirit throwing sparks'Cause we are burningWe wake up in the coalsTogether we are wholeWe are returning(We are returning) I'm shaking off my wings'Cause today I am reborn Stepping out of the ashes, aliveWas burning like stars as they collideNo more playing with matches, survivedWe pick up the pieces of our prideAnd we shake off the dustGetting back to the trustCan you feel the fire deep inside?Stepping out of the ashes, survivedOut of the ashesI'm alive I'm tired of walking, when I got wingsRiding the wind, I'm on my wayI cannot be silent when I can singI'm never gonna hide my flame Stepping out of the ashes, aliveWas burning like stars as they collideNo more playing with matches, survivedWe pick up the pieces of our prideAnd we shake off the dustGetting back to the trustCan you feel the fire deep inside?Stepping out of the ashes, survivedOut of the ashesI'm alive I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm aliveOut of the ashesStraight out of the ashesI'm alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
