Kaja - Sunbird

Raindrops are falling, fallin' down on me
I keep on walkin' , oh through the streets
Trying to find me a warm place to stay

It's getting cold now, i released myself
Into this dark world , where the lights are rare
Make-up is running, all over my face

Though i'm still thinking, there must be a
Light on my way now, that shows me
Where i could stay now, for the next season

Autumn is coming, chasing the sunbirds
Autumn is coming, violently unheard
Autumn is coming, to end the old life, and the new life

I'm getting cold now, my feet hurt
Try to get out now, of this cool world
Just wanna look for a warm place to stay

VICTIM IN PAIN

No one could see the pain inside of you
Even your friends didn't have a clue
Now it's too late to think about
What we could've done to release you

One day when you were just a little boy
Stranger came to you to destroy
Your pure feelings and innocent thoughts
You never felt the same again

You grew up with all this shame to become your own..
Victim in Pain (grew up with all the shame, become your own again)

You always looked like a real tough guy
But your eyes were filled with melancholy
Every event in your -too short- life
Became a tattoo on your strong body

You grew up with all this shame to becoe your own
Victim in pain

I know this band very short..
Alanis Morissette is my great help, besides Tori..
I saw her 9 times already..and i love her music since the realease of Jagged little pill... I was 13 back then... I have a huge collection..more than 60 cd's and singles..and 20 tshirts, and go on..
Love Sophie

Ohhh my new top song at the moment, I cry everytime I hear it...
by Amanda Marshall
Let It Rain

I have given, I have given
And got none
Still I'm driven by something I can't explain
It's not a cross, it is a choice
I cannot help but hear his voice
I only wish that I could listen without shame

Chorus
Let it rain
Let it rain on me
Let it rain, oh let it rain
Let it rain on me

I have been a witness to the perfect crime
I wipe the grin off of my face to hide the blame
It isn't worth the tears you cry to have a perfect alibi
Now I'm beaten at the hands of my own game

Chorus

It isn't easy to be kind
With all these demons in my mind
I only hope one day I'll be free
I do my best not to complain
My face is dirty from the strain
I only hope one day I'll come clean

Chorus

Come take my hand
We can walk to the light
And without fear
We can see through the darkest night

"Can't Cry Hard Enough" (Williams Brothers)

I'm gonna live my life
Like every day's the last
Without a simple goodbye
It all goes by so fast
And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

Can I open my eyes
And see you for the first time
I've let go of you like
A child letting go of his kite

There it goes
Up in the sky
There it goes
Beyond the clouds
For no reason why
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

Can I look back in vain
And see you standing there
With all that remains
It's just an empty chair
And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

There it goes
Up in the sky
There it goes
Beyond the clouds
For no reason why
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

Well , I turn to a twisted sense of humur when I get drunk or stressed, sing christmas carols a lot. Monty Python's I'm a Lumberjack... silly songs get me by.

in terms of healing, i sometimes do a set of Stone Temple Pilot's "Sex Type thing" _LOUD LOUD, and follow it with Tori's "Me and a gun". I'm not good, and i dont play well (rather, i don't paly guitar at all, but I do "got guts" and will attempt it for the sake of friends). I do it a lot at rallys and stuff. it's a hard therapy- it re-lives everything. I will not key the lyrics becaus ethey are TOO TRIGGERING even for me if i;m not in my "place"

Here's another song from my favorite band Pennywise. Every time I get upset I can count on their music to remind me to keep going on.

Broken---Pennywise
Been stuck on the outside since I can't remember when Got up just long enough for them to beat me down again They crawl inside my mind hoping there to find Ways to be fucking with my head They'll never get the best of me I'm fighting back until I'm dead Cause I've been used been abused I've been bruised I've been broken And I'm backed up against the wall But my will to survive can't be stolen And you can't make me fall Half-wits and dim pundits try to ruin my good name Parents and therapists tell me I'm the one to blame They say "take it like a man" but I can't understand Why they won't leave me alone Best friends and enemies think I'd do better on my own When I think I can't go on just want to stay home in my bed The problems of this fucked up world seem to be kept up in my head I take a look around there's nowhere to be found Somewhere to justify my life I guess I'll try to keep on trying someday I'll get it right

- Me and a Gun - Tori Amos
(I think we all know the lyrics)
& just about anything else Tori Amos

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

- By Myself - Linkin Park

What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride / from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I / sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I / try to catch them red - handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can’t hold on / when I’m stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I’m lost within
I put on my daily façade but then
I just end up getting hurt again

by myself [myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself

[myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself

I can’t hold on
To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s all too much to take in
I can’t hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I
Turn my back I’m defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on / then they’ll
Take from me ‘till everything is gone
If I let them go I’ll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I’ll be outrun
If I’m killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer

[by myself]
[myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself
[myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself

I can’t hold on
To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s all too much to take in
I can’t hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

How do you think / I’ve lost so much
I’m so afraid / I’m out of touch
How do you expect / I will know what to do
When all I know / Is what you tell me to
Don’t you (know)
I can’t tell you how to make it (go)
No matter what I do, how hard I (try)
I can’t seem to convince myself (why)
I’m stuck on the outside

I can’t hold on
To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s all too much to take in
I can’t hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

I can’t hold on
To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s all too much to take in
I can’t hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking...

- Jumper - Third Eye Blind

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand.
I would understand,
The angry boy, a bit too insane,
Icing over a secret pain,
You know you don't belong,
You're the first to fight, You're way too loud,
You're the flash of light, On a burial shroud,
I know something's wrong,
Well everyone I know has got a reason, To say, put the past away,
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies, That you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand,
I would understand.
Well he's on the table, And he's gone to code,
And I do not think anyone knows,
What they are doing here,
And your friends have left, You've been dismissed,
I never thought it would come to this, And I, I want you to know,
Everyone's got to face down the demons,
Maybe today, We can put the past away,
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand,
I would understand,
I would understand...
Can you put the past away, I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
I would understand...

- Falls Apart - Sugar Ray

She falls apart by herself
No ones there to talk or understand
Feels sustained, dries here eyes
Finds herself, opens the door inside
People see right through you
Everyone who knew you well
Falls apart, might as well
Day is long and nothing is wasteful

Runaway runaway (runaway runaway)
Hold, hold you but your going away
Runaway runaway (runaway runaway)
(Want) Hold (Want) you tomorrow but your leaving today

You walk along by yourself
There's no sound, nothing is changing
Been gone away, left you there
Emptiness is nothing you can't share
All those words that hurt you
More than you would let it show
Comes apart, by yourself
All is well and everything is wasted

Runaway runaway (runaway runaway)
(Want) Hold (Want) hold you but your going away
Runaway runaway (runaway runaway)
(Want) Hold (Want) you tomorrow but your leaving today

Sometimes we'll feel around and this dance instead can't be down
All the sound of me on my own
Any sound of me again it's time away surround around a friend
I know where I know where no where to runaway

She falls apart, no one there
Hold her hand, it seems to disappear
Falls apart, might as well
Day is long and nothing is wasted

Runaway runaway (runaway runaway)
(Want) Hold (Want) hold you but your going away
Runaway runaway (runaway runaway)
(Want) Hold (Want) you tomorrow but your leaving today
Runaway Runaway
Hold (Want) hold you (Want) but your going away
But your leaving today, but your leaving today

- Mary Jane - Alanis Morrisette

What's the matter Mary Jane, you had a hard day
As you place the don't disturb sign on the door
You lost your place in line again, what a pity
You never seem to want to dance anymore

It's a long way down
On this roller coaster
The last chance streetcar
Went off the track
And you're on it

I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane
What's the point of tryin' to dream anymore
I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane
Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for

Well it's full speed baby
In the wrong direction
There's a few more bruises
If that's the way
You insist on heading

Please be honest Mary Jane
Are you happy

Please don't censor your tears

You're the sweet crusader
And you're on your way
You're the last great innocent
And that's why I love you

So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish
Worry not about the cars that go by
All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom
Keep warm my dear, keep dry

Tell me
Tell me
What's the matter Mary Jane...

i listen to mostly things like system of a down because they scream and yell. It helps get the anger out.

"Aerials"

Life is a waterfall
we're one in the river
and one again after the fall
swimming through the void
we hear the word
we lose ourselves
but we find it all....
cause we are the ones that want to play
always want to go
but you never want to stay
and we are the ones that want to choose
always want to play
but you never want to lose
aerials, in the sky
when you lose small mind
you free your life
life is a waterfall
we drink from the river
then we turn around and put up our walls
swimming through the void
we hear the word
we lose ourselves
but we find it all...
cause we are the ones that want to play
always want to go
but you never want to stay
and we are the ones that want to choose
always want to play
but you never want to lose
aerials, in the sky
when you lose small mind
you free your life
aerials, so up high
when you free your eyes eternal prize
aerials, in the sky
when you lose small mind
you free your life
aerials, so up high
when you free your eyes eternal prize

As anyone who chats with me knows....My name is Laney (hi Laney) and I'm a Staind addict...

Outside

And you
Bring me to my knees
Again
All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain
All the times
That I felt insecure
For you
But I leave
My burdens at the door

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
I can see your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I felt like this won't end
Was for you
And I taste
What I could never have
It's from you
All the times
That I've tried
My intentions
Full of pride
But I waste
More time than anyone

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I've cried
All this wasted
It's all inside
And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again
And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend
But I feel
Tomorrow will be OK

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

And this is better when Staind sings it, but it's by Pearl Jam

Black

Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be...yeah...

Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine

This song has been very good for when I need a lift me up. Awesome song. It was originally sung by Rod Stewart but the newest version is by Russell Watson as the theme song for Star Trek: Enterprise. Title of it is Where My Heart Will Take Me.

It´s been a long road, getting from there to here.
It´s been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing´s in my way.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna hold me down.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

It´s been a long night. Trying to find my way.
Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna change my mind.

I´ve known the wind so cold, and seen the darkest days.
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change.
I´ve been through the fire and I´ve been through the rain.
But I´ll be fine.

I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

It´s been a long road.

shania twain blue tears

Black eyes, I don't need 'em
Blue tears, gimme freedom

Positively never goin' back
I won't live where things are so out of whack
No more rollin' with the punches
No more usin' or abusin'

I'd rather die standing
Than live on my knees
Begging please-no more

Black eyes-I don't need 'em
Blue tears-gimme freedom
Black eyes-all behind me
Blue tears'll never find me now

Definitley found my self esteem
Finally-I'm forever free to dream
No more cryin' in the corner
No excuses-no more bruises

I'd rather die standing
Than live on my knees
Begging please-no more

Black eyes-I don't need 'em
Blue tears-gimme freedom
Black eyes-all behind me
Blue tears'll never find me now

I'd rather die standing
Than live on my knees, begging please...

Black eyes-I don't need 'em
Blue tears-gimme freedom
Black eyes-all behind me
Blue tears'll never find me now

It's all behind me, they'll never find me now

Find your self-esteem and be forever free to dream

Nickleback Never again

He's drunk again, it's time to fight
She must have done something wrong tonight
The living room becomes a boxing ring
It's time to run when you see him clenching his hands
She's just a woman... Never Again

I hear her scream from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me, "Go Back To Bed!"
I'm terrified that she'll wind up dead in his hands
She's just a woman... Never Again

Been there before, but not like this
Seen it before, but not like this
Never before have I seen it this bad
She's Just a woman... Never Again

Just tell the nurse you slipped an fell
It starts to sting, as it starts to swell
She looks at you... she wants the truth
Its out there in the waiting room with those hands

Seen it before, but not like this
Been there before, but not like this
Never before have I seen it this bad
She's Just a woman... Never Again

Father's a Name you haven't earned yet
You're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard, "don't hit a lady"
kicking your ass would be a pleasure

He's drunk again, it's time to fight
The same old shit just on a diffrent night
she grabs the gun, she's had enough
Tonight she'll find out just how fuckin' tough is this man
Pulls the trigger as fast as she can... Never Again.

Seen it before, but not like this
Been there before, but not like this
Never before have I seen it this bad
She's Just a woman... Never Again

christian agularer beautiful
(Don't look at me)

Every day is so wonderful
Then suddenly
Its hard to breathe

Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes words can't bring me down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed
In all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone
Left the puzzle undone--
Is that the way it is?

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down, no, no
'Cause you are beautiful in every single way
Yes words can't bring you down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today

No matter what we do
No matter what we say
We're the song inside the tune, full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go,
The sun will always shine
And tomorrow we might awake on the other side

'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes words won't bring us down, no, no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes words can't bring us down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today...

Don't you bring me down...today...
Don't you bring me down...mmmm...today...

Here's my latest obsession - subject to change within seconds and without notice. ;) I hadn't heard this song in ages until it came on the radio today, and it just really captured how I felt in that moment. Anyway...here it is:

"Don't Look Back" by Boston

Don't look back
A new day is breakin'
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind where I get taken
The road is callin'
Today is the day

I can see
It took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong
Not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around
Oh yes I will

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'

It's a new horizon and I'm awakin'
Oh I see myself in a brand new way
The sun is shinin'
the clouds are breakin'
'Cause I can't lose now, there's no game to play

I can tell
There's no more time left to criticize
I've seen what I could not recognize
Everything in my life was leading me on
but I can be strong
Oh yes I can

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Far away and left behind

Oh the sun is shining
And I’m ready to go

Don't look back
A new day is breakin'
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind where I get taken
The road is callin'
Today is the day

I can see
It took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong
Not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around
Oh yes I will

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Far away and left behind

Don't look back
Don't look back
