Neil Young's 'Human Highway'

I came down from the misty mountains
I got lost on the Human Highway
Take my head refreshing fountain
take my eyes from what they've seen
Take my hand and change my mind...
How could people get so unkind?

I came down from the crooked mansion
I went looking for the DJ's daughter
Some folks say my name is on the line
Now my name is on the line
How could people get so unkind?

repeat first verse...

Everyday by Bon Jovi

I used to be the kind of guy
Who'd never let you look inside
I'd smile when I was crying
I had nothing but a life to loose
Thought I had a lot to proof
In my life, there's no denying

Goodbye to all my yesterdays
Goodbye, so long, I'm on my way

I've had enough of cryin'
Bleedin', sweatin', dyin'
Hear me when I say
Gonna live my life everyday
I'm gonna touch the sky
And I spread these wings and fly
I ain't here to play
I'm gonna live my life everyday

Strange, everybody's feeling strange
Never gonna be the same
Makes you wonder how the world keeps turning
Life, learning how to live my life
Learning how to pick my fights
Take my shots while I'm still burning

Goodbye to all those rainy nights
Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on

I've had enough of cryin'
Bleedin', sweatin', dyin'
Hear me when I say
Gonna live my life everyday
I'm gonna touch the sky
And I spread these wings and fly
I ain't here to play
I'm gonna live my life everyday

There ain't nothing gonna get in my way
Everyday

Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on

I've had enough of cryin'
Bleedin', sweatin', dyin'
Hear me when I say
Gonna live my life everyday
I'm gonna touch the sky
And I spread these wings and fly
I ain't here to play
I'm gonna live my life everyday

I, oh I, oh I, I'm gonna live my life everyday
I (gonna touch the sky), oh I (spread these wings and fly), oh I
I'm gonna live my life everyday

The song Mary by Tori Amos has helped a lot. like shes singing it right to me, lol. green is my favorite color too i wear it all the time. Theres another song too, ok more than 1, the first one is Grey Street by Dave Matthews Band, (the chorus is "theres an emptiness inside her, and she'd do anything to fill it in")

Grey Street, DMBOh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street

She thinks, “Hey,
How did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times around the world,
But I can’t get out of this place”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears it doesn’t listen
There’s still a hope in her it might

She says, “I pray
But they fall on deaf ears,
Am I supposed to take it on myself?
To get out of this place”

There’s loneliness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

There’s a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
Make them as real as anything
It’d take the work out of the courage

But she says, “Please
There’s a crazy man that’s creeping outside my door,
I live on the corner of Grey Street and the end of the world”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It’s more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
It breaks her heart
To grey

Mary

Here's one that describes a lot of what I've been feeling.  

Changes
by 3 Doors Doown

I'm not suposed to be scared of anything,
But I don't know where I am
I wish that I could move but I'm exhausted
And nobody understands (how I feel)
I'm trying hard to breathe now
But there's no air in my lungs
There's no one here to talk to
And the pain inside is making me numb

I try to hold this under control
They can't help me
'Cause no one knows

Now I'm going through changes, changes
God, I feel so feel so frustrated lately
When I get suffocated, save me
Now I'm going through changes, changes

I'm feeling weak and weary
Walking through this world alone
Everything you say, every word of it,
Cuts me to the bone (And I bleed)
I've got something to say,
But now I've got no where to turn
It feels like I've been buried
Underneath all the weight of the world

I try to hold this under control
They can't help me
'Cause no one knows

Now I'm going through changes, changes
God, I feel so feel so frustrated lately
When I get suffocated, save me
Now I'm going through changes, changes

I'm running, shaking
Bound and breaking
I hope I make it
Through all these changes

Now I'm going through changes, changes
God, I feel so frustrated lately
When I get suffocated, save me
Now I'm falling apart, now I feel it

But I'm going through changes, chnages
God, I feel so feel so frustrated lately
And I get suffocated, I hate this
But I'm going through changes, changes

One song i really like is "Take my hand" by dido, i also like alot of her songs but this one is VERY uplifting - one that you can dance around the house to. Sometimes you just don't want to listen to something depressing - or maybe thats just me?
Take care of yourselves - i might just put that song on now!

[Cira]

You know, Saphire, that Creed song struck me, too, for the simple fact that closing my eyes and pretending everything was alright was just what I did...I believe it could be called dissociation, repression and denial. ;)

Alright, continuing on with my Lifehouse addiction, here's my current fave.  I never listened to this CD much before, but the more I listen, the more I like it...Obviously, right? ;)

Here's "Simon"

Catch your breath,
Hit the wall,
Scream out loud
As you start to crawl

Back in your cage,
The only place,
Where they will
Leave you alone

'Cause the weak will
Seek the weaker 'til they've broken them,
Could you get it back again?
Would it be the same?
Fulfillment to their lack of strength
At your expense,
Left you with no defense,
They tore it down.

And I have felt the same as you,
I've felt the same, as you
I've felt the same

Locked inside
The only place,
Where you feel sheltered,
Where you feel safe
You lost yourself
In your search to find,
Something else to hide behind

Cause the fearful always preyed upon your confidence,
Did they see the consequence?
They pushed you around
The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones,
Breaking them 'til they've become
Just another crown,

And I have felt the same as you
I've felt the same,
As you I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same.

Refuse to feel,
Anything at all,
Refuse to slip,
Refuse to Fall,
Can’t be weak,
Can’t stand still,
You watch your back,
'Cause no one will,

You don’t know why they had to go this far,
Traded your worth for these scars,
For your only company,
Don’t believe the lies that they have told to you,
Not one word was true,
You’re alright you're alright
You’re alright

And I have felt the same as you
I've felt the same,
As you I've felt the same as you
I've felt the same.

One more song from 14 Shades of grey, entitled "Reality"

I also want to include something that really touched me.  I like Staind so much b/c the lyrics seem to come out of a very real place, never hiding their real pain.

I was reading Aaron Lewis' "thank you" page, and had to share this  paragraph.

"I'd like to thank you - all the people reading this right now for really listening to what I had to say when it seemed no one else would; for feelng my pain that I thought only I felt, and for accepting me for who I am - damaged and insecure and just trying to figure it out just like everyone else.  To everyone who sends me letters through my Auntie Jeanna, you make me cry, you make me smile, you make me angry, you make me sad... you inspire me, you give me hope.  Thank you."  

Reality

The lights are on but you're not home
You've drifted off somewhere alone
Somewhere that's safe, no questions here
A quiet place to hide from your fears

Sometimes when your out of rope
The way to climb back up is unknown
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever "they" happen to be
Or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality?

So you sedate and drown in vain
You've got a pill for everyday
A suit and tie to mask the truth
It's ugly head is starting to show through

Sometimes when your out of rope
The way to climb back up is unknown
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever "they" happen to be
Or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality?

The monster you're feeding, your lack of perception
The things you will do to fulfill addictions
The light at the end of your tunnel is closing
What is it that your so afraid of exposing
You'd give it all up for what there for the taking
Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking
The same things you're thinking might make you feel better
The same things that probably got you here

Sometimes when your out of rope
The way to climb back up is unknown
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever "they" happen to be
Or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality?

The monster you're feeding, your lack of perception
The things you will do to fulfill addictions
The light at the end of your tunnel is closing
What is it that your so afraid of exposing
You'd give it all up for what there for the taking
Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking
The same things you're thinking might make you feel better
The same things that probably got you here
