"This Song For You" by Boy Hits Cars

i wish i could

stop your hurting

i wish i could

make it all good

but i'm so strong...

i'm unable to

deliver you from this pain

i wish i could

be your answers

i wish i was

everything you need

but i'm so lost

like a man being tossed

upon life's sea

that gets the best of me

yeah

guess all i can do

is sing this song for you

and try to be there

when you cry

maybe one day

we will all land all free of this hurting

then maybe we can all live without this suffering

that we have felt

i wish i was

the strength you need

to protect you

from the darkest tides

but i'm simply just a dream of

thinking i can

make everything alright, yeah

guess all i can do

is sing this song for you

and try to be there

when u cry

baby one day we will all land free of this hurting

then we can all live without this suffering

that we have felt

and i guess life is not so fair

but a song can give us strength

when we're feeling so helpless

i guess all

i can do

all i can do

is sing

this song for you

.....

this song's for you

this song's for you

guess all i can do

is sing this song for you

and try to be there

when you cry

baby one day we will end up all free of this hurting

then we can all live without this suffering

we have felt

we have felt

'wish i may' - ani difranco

i'm losing my love of adventure

i'm losing all respect

for me and myself tonight

i wonder what happens if i get to

the end of this tunnel

and there isn't a light

ive worn down the treads

on all of my tires

i've worn through the elbows

and the knees of my clothing

and i'm treading down

the gravel driveway of desire

trying not to wake up

my sleeping self-loathing

do you ever have that dream

when you open your mouth

and you try to scream

but you can't make a sound

that's everyday starting now

that's everyday starting now

dont tell me it's gonna be alright

you can't sell me on your optimism tonight

it's a stiff competition

to see who can stay up later

the stars or the street lights

and all they really want

is to be alone with the darkness

no more wish i may

no more wish i might

it takes a stiff upper lip

just to hold up my face

i gotta suck it up and savor

the taste of my own behavior

i am spinning with longing

faster then a roulette wheel

this is not who i meant to be

this is not how i meant to feel

i don't think i am strong enough

to do this much longer

god, i wish i was stronger

this song could never be long enough

to express every longing

god, i wish it was longer...

'studying stones' - ani difranco

i am out here studying stones

trying to learn to be less alive

using all of my will

to keep very still

still even on the inside

i've cut all of the pertinent wires

so my eyes can't make that connection

i am holding my breath

i am feigning my death

when i'm looking in your direction

'course numb is an old hat

old as my oldest memories

see that one's my mother

and that one's my father

and that one in the hat, that's me

it's a skill i'd hoped to abandon

when i got out on the open road

but any more pent up emotion

and i think i'm gonna explode

there's never been an endeavor so strange

as trying to slow the blood in my veins

to keep my face blank

as a stone that just sank

until not a ripple remains

i am high above the tree line

sitting cross legged on the ground

when all of the forbidden fruit has fallen and rotted

that's when i'm gonna come down

'course numb is an old hat

old as my oldest memories

see that one's my mother

and that one's my father

and that one in the hat, that's me

it's a skill i'd hoped to abandon

when i got out on the open road

but any more pent up emotion

and i think i'm gonna explode

'orestes' - a perfect circle

metaphor for a missing moment

pull me into your perfect circle

one womb one shape one resolve liberate this will to release us all

gotta cut away

clear away

snip away and sever this umbilical residue

that's keeping me from killing you

and from pulling you down with me here

i can almost hear you scream

give me one more medicated peaceful moment

because i don't want to feel this overwhelming hostility

gotta cut away

clear away

snip away and sever this umbilical residue

that's keeping me from killing you

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT ~~ New Found Glory

it was a cool california

even in the summer

she was wrapped in a blanket by the pool.

there were rapid statements about life commitments

a sense of heat,

that i couldn't bare to touch, i couldn't bare it

it's not your fault so please stop your crying now

there was staring in seclusion

a fine tuned way of motion

a face wrapped for a suitor

the sound of hearts pumping at the same beat

coming round the corner

in almost all directions

a sense of heat that i couldnt bare to touch

no i couldn't bare it

now you wait for

something to cure this

well i'm here under your down pour

it's not your fault so please stop your crying now

it's not your fault so please stop your crying

it's not your fault

it's not your fault so please stop your cyring now

it's not your fault so please stop your cyring now

it's not your fault

it's not your fault stop your crying now

it's not your fault so please stop your crying now

I really like "I'll Stand By You" by the Pretenders, which was already posted.

Also the theme song from Crash, "In the Deep" by Bird York.

"In the Deep"

Thought you had all the answers

To rest your heart upon

But something happens

Don't see it coming

And now you can't stop yourself

Now you're out there swimming

In the deep. In the deep

Life keeps tumbling your heart in circles

Til you let go

Til you shed your pride

And you climb to heaven

Then you throw yourself off

Now you're out there spinning

In the deep. In the deep.

In the deep. In the deep.

And the silence, or your secrets

Well, raise a worry hand

Well you can pin yourself back together

To who you thought you were

Now you're out there living

In the deep. In the deep.

In the deep.

Now you're out there living

In the deep.

Not sure if this has been posted but i love to scream this! very healing but may also ~trigger~

I'm in a circle, looking up above

I'm turning purple as she smothers me

I watch you thinking, faces changing shape

How is she happy when she thinks of spit and... RAPE?!

I know who you are

You left a big black scar

I see there's no escape

You'll know when

Fucker you're going down, girl you're going down, fucker you're going down,

You and spit and rape

Fucker you're going down, girl you're going down, fucker you're going down,

You and spit and rape

I'll get you

I'll get you

I'll get you

Just wait

I know you've had your fun

___ ___ that now you're done

I see there's no escape

You'll know when

Fucker you're going down, girl you're going down, fucker you're going down,

You and spit and rape

Fucker you're going down, girl you're going down, fucker you're going down,

You and spit and rape

I'll get you

I'll get you

I'll get you

Just wait

I know who you are

You left a big black scar

I say there's no escape

You know that

God is going down, god is going down, god is going down,

He and spit and rape

God is going down, god is going down, why don't you strike me down,

You and spit and rape

Not sure if this one has been posted, but... :trigger:

"Tell on You" by Bif Naked

it seemed like days had passed...

are you finished?

i could no longer

move my arms.

the only thing left in the room

was the silence:

can you still hear the breaking glass

when it hit my face?

even the mice were laughing

at the smell of pain,

here we go again

to the depths of no return:

please remember: i know who you are.

someday, i'll have the strength to tell.

as the man looked over me

with his inquiries,

i swore you never did it.

i licked the sweat from my palms.

alone am i with your face burned in my mind

you are the one (the fucker) who deserves to die

it should have never been me.

please remember: i know who you are.

someday, i'll have the strength to tell.

i pray for you as a little boy.

what must have happened to make you so cruel?

(and i pray that you rot in hell)

please remember: i know who you are.

someday, i'll have the strength to tell

on you

This is an amazing song! here is the link to download and listen to it.. its a bit triggery so be careful

Alyssa Lies by James Micheal Carrol

My little girl met a new friend,

just the other day,

on the playground at school

between the tires and the swings

But she came home with tear-filled eyes,

and she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa lies"

Well I just brushed it off at first,

'cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt

or the things she had seen.

I wasn't ready when I said "You can tell me"

and she said...

"Alyssa lies to the classroom,

Alyssa lies everyday at school,

Alyssa lies to the teachers

as she tries to cover every bruise"

My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep.

As I stepped out the room, I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet

"God bless my mom and my Dad

and my new friend, Alyssa

*oh*I know she needs you bad

Because Alyssa lies to the classroom,

Alyssa lies everyday at school,

Alyssa lies to the teachers

as she tries to cover every bruise"

(bridge)

I had the worst night of sleep in years

as I tried to think of a way to calm her fears

I knew just what it was I had to do *I knew exactly what I had to do*

but when we got to school on Monday I heard the news

My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad

the lump in my throat grew bigger

with every question that she asked.

Until I felt the tears run down my face

and I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today

'Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom

she doesn't lie anymore at school

Alyssa lies with Jesus

because there's nothin' anyone would do

Tears filled my eyes when my little girl asked me why

Alyssa lies

*Oh Daddy, oh* Daddy tell me why

Alyssa lies

i can't download that song, silentangel, because i'm at work but the lyrics are VERY powerful just on the page! two songs that i've listened to consistently since it happened:

1. (when i'm pissed off cause it captures the anger) 2. (when i'm sad/triggered/sitting with pain)

alanis morrisette "you outta know" kelly clarkson "addicted"

***download this if you don't have it!!****

alanis lyrics

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you

I wish nothing but the best for you both

An older version of me

Is she perverted like me

Would she go down on you in a theatre

Does she speak eloquently

And would she have your baby

I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able

To make it enough for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me you'd hold me

Until you died, till you died

But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful

I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know

Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity

I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner

It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced

Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able

To make it enough for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me you'd hold me

Until you died, til you died

But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me

And I'm not gonna fade

As soon as you close your eyes and you know it

And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back

I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

****************************************************************************************

kelly c. lyrics

It's like you're a drug

It's like you're a demon I can't face down

It's like I'm stuck

It's like I'm running from you all the time

And I know I let you have all the power

It's like the only company I seek is misery all around

It's like you're a leech

Sucking the life from me

It's like I can't breathe

Without you inside of me

And I know I let you have all the power

And I realize I'm never gonna quit you over time

It's like I can't breathe

It's like I can't see anything

Nothing but you

I'm addicted to you

It's like I can't think

Without you interupting me

In my thoughts

In my dreams

You've taken over me

It's like I'm not me

It's like I'm not me

It's like I'm lost

It's like I'm giving up slowly

It's like you're a ghost that's haunting me

Leave me alone

And I know these voices in my head

Are mine alone

And I know I'll never change my ways

If I don't give you up now

It's like I can't breathe

It's like I can't see anything

Nothing but you

I'm addicted to you

It's like I can't think

Without you interrupting me

In my thoughts

In my dreams

You've taken over me

It's like I'm not me

It's like I'm not me

I'm hooked on you

I need a fix

I can't take it

Just one more hit

I promise I can deal with it

I'll handle it, quit it

Just one more time

Then that's it

Just a little bit more to get me through this

I'm hooked on you

I need a fix

I can't take it

Just one more hit

I promise I can deal with it

I'll handle it, quit it

Just one more time

Then that's it

Just a little bit more to get me through this

It's like I can't breathe

It's like I can't see anything

Nothing but you

I'm addicted to you

It's like I can't think

Without you interrupting me

In my thoughts

In my dreams

You've taken over me

It's like I'm not me

It's like I'm not me

"Sick Pig" by Stutterfly.

Very good song to listen to if you're feeling really vengeful or really pissed.

It is very triggering though, so be careful.

holding her down

till she can't breath

it's just a game,

she's so naive.

you deceive her.

she believes you.

then you rape her.

she can't fight you.

sick pig.

she screams you smile

sick pig,

she's just a child.

you held her down.

ripped her in two.

look at the hell

you put her through.

she begged you.

you didn't let go.

god have mercy

on your soul.

this hell

(sick)

you made

(pig)

just to

(sick)

get laid.

its sung mostly screaming and hateful sounding. i think maybe thats why i like it so much.... makes me hate my perp even more when i listen to it... very powerful, and makes me feel better sometimes.

LYCANTHROPE ~~+44 (former members of Blink182 formed this New Group)

I wake up at the end of a long, dark, lonely year

It's bringing out the worst in me

I hear your voice start breaking in fear

When the lights go down

And I still feel you looking over my shoulder

Your sinking guilt and approaching nightmare

And I know none of us will survive

Because I know everything

Alright

And my dear I need you to move a little faster

This second counts as the rest of your life

Your final word and an itchy finger

And then it's taken away

And we'll be beaten down without mercy or meaning

I turn my face to a careless skyline

I'm searching hard for a sign from heaven

But they've forgotten me here

You can just stop talking, I get it

I hear your silence loud and clear

I know it's barely a thought but it'll see us through

I'm only setting you free so just let it happen

Just let it happen, no need to fear

Yeah you can just stop talking, I get it

Sex, f***, and fluorescent lighing

A hollow point on an angry bullet

We're on the teeth of a crocodile

We're in the mouth of the gun

And sometimes at night I feel I'm just a broken vessel

An instrument with a darker purpose

I'm at the throat of the young and the helpless

Because they've got nothing to say

So you can just stop talking, I get it

I hear your silence loud and clear

I know it's barely a thought but it'll see us through

I'm only setting you free so just let it happen

Just let it happen, no need to fear

Yeah, you can just stop talking, I get it

One of my personal favorites is "Toast" by Tori Amos. Especially the first verse:

I thought it was Easter time

The way the light rose, rose that morning.

Lately you've been on my mind

You showed me the ropes,

Ropes to climb over mountains

Then pull myself out of a landslide,

Of a landslide.

This reminds me of a T that I had and dearly loved. She was able to help me in so many ways and I give her so much credit for getting me to where I am now. So if you have a good friend, family member, or T, you can most likely relate.

I love this song by third eye blind....I'm not sure if anyone has posted it yet..or even if I have and forgot..but either way, it's a great song and I found it INCREDIBLY helpful in hard times. My favourite line is "Nobody took your pride away...that's something people say, back down the bully to the back of the bus cuz' it's time for them to be scared of us"

Wounded - Third Eye Blind

the guy who put his hands on you,

has got nothing to do with me.

And the bruises that you feel will heal

and i hope you come around,

cause we're missing you.

you used to speak so easy,

now you're afaid to talk to me.

Its like walking with the wounded.

Carrying that weight way too far,

the concrete pulled you down so hard

out there with the wounded,

We're missing you.

Well I never claimed to understand

what happens after dark,

but my fingers catch the sparks

at the thought of touching you,

When you're wounded

lemme break it down til i force the issue,

we miss your face and you know i wish you would

come back down to the Delva Bar

you tell em' ,"Thats just my battle scar."

I wanna kiss you, and knock em down like we used to

you're a marigold

till you're walking down shaking that ass again,

then you walk on, baby, walk on, you walk on.

on and on

you're an angel in the pit with her hands in the air

and we're missing you.

Now its fall and your shoulders get tighter

nervous flicks on your lighter...boots

your pissed off poets

your women's groups

and the friends with you we should've known this fool

well i guess we missed the mark,

still my fingers catch the sparks at the thought of

them touching you

when your wounded

Lemme break it down till i force the issue

you never come around and you know we miss you

well nobody took your pride away

i said," thats something people say."

Back down the bully to the back of the bus,

cause its time for them to be scared of us

till you're yelling how we're living cause you got the ball

and then you rock on, baby, rock on, you rock on.

on and on.

you're a summertime hottie with her socks in the air,

you're screaming i dont care baby i dont care no

you say you dont know, you say here we go now,

all i know is we're missing you

you say you dont know, you say here we go now,

all i know is we're missing you

show up, show up wounded

show up, show up wounded

two songs, both by Paul Simon.

the first song is how I felt before I got into therapy: my anger about what had been done to me and not being allowed to have treatment or get better in any way.

the version from The Paul Simon Songbook is much better.

Patterns

Paul Simon

The night sets softly

With the hush of falling leaves,

Casting shivering shadows

On the houses through the trees,

And the light from a street lamp

Paints a pattern on my wall,

Like the pieces of a puzzle

Or a child's uneven scrawl.

Up a narrow flight of stairs

In a narrow little room,

As I lie upon my bed

In the early evening gloom.

Impaled on my wall

My eyes can dimly see

The pattern of my life

And the puzzle that is me.

From the moment of my birth

To the instant of my death,

There are patterns I must follow

Just as I must breathe each breath.

Like a rat in a maze

The path before me lies,

And the pattern never alters

Until the rat dies.

And the pattern still remains

On the wall where darkness fell,

And it's fitting that it should,

For in darkness I must dwell.

Like the color of my skin,

Or the day that I grow old,

My life is made of patterns

That can scarcely be controlled.

Second song:

The Rhythm of the Saints

If I have weaknesses

Don't let them blind me

Or camouflage all I am wary of

I could be sailing in seizures of laughter

Or crawling out from under the heel of love

Do my prayers remain unanswered

Like a beggar at your sleeve

Olodumare* is smiling in heaven

Smiling in heaven I do believe

Reach in the darkness

A reach in the dark

Reach in the darkness

A reach in the dark

To overcome an obstacle or an enemy

To glide away from the razor or a knife

To overcome an obstacle or an enemy

To dominate the impossible in your life

Always a stranger when strange isn't fashionable

And fashion is rich people waving at the door

Or it's a dealer in drugs or in passion

Lies of a nature we've heard before

Do my prayers remain unanswered

Like a beggar at your sleeve

Balalu-aye* spins on his crutches

Says leave if you want

If you want to leave

Reach in the darkness

A reach in the dark

A reach in the darkness

Reach in the dark

To overcome an obstacle or an enemy

To glide away from the razor or a knife

To overcome an obstacle or an enemy

To dominate the impossible in your life

Reach in the darkness

A reach in the dark

Reach in the darkness

A reach in the dark

To overcome an obstacle or an enemy

To dominate the impossible in your life

Reach in the darkness

A reach in the dark

I just bought this cd the day after Christmas. This song speaks to me so strongly...

It's by KT Tunstall. If you don't recognize the name, she's the one that sings the Black Horse and Cherry Tree song.

*The name of the song is "Heal Over"*

It isn't very difficult to see why

You are the way you are

Doesn't take a genius to realise

That sometimes life is hard

It's gonna take time

But you'll just have to wait

You're gonna be fine

But in the meantime

Come over here lady

Let me wipe your tears away

Come a little nearer baby

Coz you'll heal over

Heal over

Heal over someday

And I don't wanna hear you tell yourself

That these feelings are in the past

You know it doesn't mean they're off the shelf

Because pain's built to last

Everybody sails alone

But we can travel side by side

Even if you fail

You know that no one really minds

Come over here lady

Don't hold on but don't let go

I know it's so hard

You've got to try to trust yourself

I know it's so hard, so hard

Come over here lady

Let me wipe your tears away

Come a little nearer baby

Coz you'll heal over, heal over, heal over someday

A fiona apple song that actually cheers me up. :)

I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes

-And-

I certainly haven't been spreading myself around

I still only travel by foot and by foot, it's a slow climb,

But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so

I can't stop changing all the time

I notice that my opponent is always on the go

-And-

Won't go slow, so's not to focus, and I notice

He'll hitch a ride with any guide, as long as

They go fast from whence he came

- But he's no good at being uncomfortable, so

He can't stop staying exactly the same

If there was a better way to go then it would find me

I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me

Be kind to me, or treat me mean

I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day

You deem me due to clean my view and be at piece and lay

I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say,

I've been getting along for long before you came into the play

I am the baby of the family, it happens, so

- Everybody cares and wears the sheeps' clothes

While they chaperone

Curious, you looking down your nose at me, while you appease

- Courteous, to try and help - but let me set your

Mind at ease

If there was a better way to go then it would find me

I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me

Be kind to me, or treat me mean

I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

-Do I so worry you, you need to hurry to my side?

-It's very kind

But it's to no avail; I don't want the bail

I promise you, everything will be just fine

If there was a better way to go then it would find me

I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me

Be kind to me, or treat me mean

I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

:wub:

squirrely

and then you rock on, baby, rock on, you rock on.

on and on.

you're a summertime hottie with her socks in the air,

you're screaming i dont care baby i dont care no

you say you dont know, you say here we go now,

all i know is we're missing you

you say you dont know, you say here we go now,

all i know is we're missing you

show up, show up wounded

show up, show up wounded

I absolutely LOVE that song -- it describes how I feel about this situation PERFECTLY, and it's brilliant.

I just heard this song for the first time today. Sorry if someone already posted it. But it brought me to tears... it's such a sad, yet beautifully written song.

CONCRETE ANGEL - by Martina McBride

She walks to school with a lunch she packed

nobody knows what she's holding back

wearing the same dress she wore yesterday

she hides the bruises with the linen and lace

the teacher wonders but she doesn't ask

it's hard to see the pain behind the mask

bearing the burden of a secret storm

sometimes she wishes she was never born

CHORUS:

through the wind

and the rain

she stands hard as a stone

in a world that she can't rise above

but her dreams

give her wings

and she flies to a place where she's loved

concrete angel

somebody cries in the middle of the night

the neighbors hear but they turn out the light

a fragile soul caught in the hands of fate

when morning comes it'll be too late

REPEAT CHORUS

a statue stands in a shaded place

an angel girl with an upturned face

a name is written on a polished rock

a broken heart that the world forgot

REPEAT CHORUS

here is one of my current favorites

Control by Poe

Dont you mess with a little girls dream

cause shes liable to grow up mean

Surprised you to find that Im laughing?

You thought that youd find me in tears

You thought Id 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 Ive 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

Ive 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 its 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...

Dont you mess with me

one more

conjure one, face the music

Gravity is a factor

Feel it pulling you in

It gets under your skin

And you just sink in

When the past is an anchor

It's just holding you back

When you can't walk away

Something makes you stay, makes you stay

What makes you turn around and do it all again

Your highs and lows, they are both one and the same

There is no difference in your pleasure and your pain

It's time to face the music

You can see what you can be

Let go of what you have been

See the world

Through a different set of eyes

If you can face the future

It sets you free from the past

Turn around, turn around

You can move on, move on

What makes you turn around and do it all again

Your highs and lows, they are both one and the same

There is no difference in your pleasure and your pain

It's time to face the music

This is yet another fiona apple song.

My ex-h was wicked as far as his verbal abuse and emotional manipulation.

This song for me phrases my feelings of being controlled by the monster pretty well, especially since much of the controlling crap came after we were newlyweds..

The early cars

Already are

Drawing deep breaths past my door

And last night's phrases

Sick with lack of basis

Are still writhing on my floor

And it doesn't seem fair

That your wicked words should work

In holding me down

No, it doesn't seem right

To take information

Given at close range

For the gag

And the bind

And the ammunition round

Conversation once colored by esteem

Became dialogue as a diagram of a play for blood

Took a vacation, my palate got clean

Now I could taste your agenda

While you're spitting your cud

And it doesn't make sense

I should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown

No, it doesn't seem right

To take information

Given at close range

For the gag

And the bind

And the ammunition round

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact I can't stop falling out

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact I can't stop falling out

I miss that stupid ache

What is this posture

I have to stare at

That's what he said when I'm sittin' up straight

Change the name of the game 'cause he lost

And he knew he was wrong but he knew it too late

But I'm not being fair

'Cause I chose to listen to that filthy mouth

But I'd like to choose right

Take all the things that I've said that he stole

Put 'em in a sack

Swing 'em over my shoulder

Turn on my heels

Step out of this sight

Try to live in a lovelier life

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact I cant stop falling out

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact i cant stop falling out

I miss that stupid ache

:wub:

squirrely

I adore this song, it's beautiful and also sad.

"Make It Go Away" Holly Cole

Make it go away or make it better

Isn't that what love is supposed to do?

Make it go away or make it better

Cause I would do either one for you

This is not the way you should see me

This is not the face I recognize

Could I lay my head down here for a moment?

Would you sing to me like I'm your child?

Cause I'm not angry I'm not crying

I'm just in over my head

You could be the angel that stayed on my shoulder

When all of the other angels left

Make it go away

Cause I am weak and

This is more than one should have to take

If you do this for me then I will promise

I'll make it go away for you someday

There are reasons with silver linings

There are lessons but I dont care

Cause I just need a hand that I can hold onto

When its darker than death out there

Oh, and I'm so cold

And so far away from my home

But tonight youre

Youre where I belong

Youre everything right

When I'm everything wrong

So make it go away or make it better

Isn't that what loves supposed to do?

Just make it go away or make it better

Cause I would do either one for you

Make it go away or make it better

Isn't that what loves supposed to do?

Just make it go away or make it better

Cause I would do either one for you

Sullen Girl ~by Fiona Apple

Days like this, I don't know what to do with myself

All day and all night

I wander the halls along the walls and under my breath

I say to myself

I need fuel to take flight

And there's too much going on

But it's calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion

Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion

Is that why they call me a sullen girl, sullen girl

They don't know I used to sail the deep and tranquil sea

But he washed me shore and he took my pearl

And left an empty shell of me

And there's too much going on

But it's calm under the waves in the blue of my oblivion

Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion

Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion

It's calm under the waves in the blue of my oblivion

SurvivingTheStorm

This one has a slight trigger but it's really been a healing song for me...

I'm Sorry by Flyleaf

I'm sorry

I don't mean to remember

It's true that I dream less often and

I'm not ashamed

Of that long December

Your hands coming down again

I close my eyes and brace myself

I only noticed your face

No matter what you're gonna build my shell

No matter what you're gonna build my shell

I'm falling

I'm shedding my skin

But it's not time I'm told

I am aware

of what you mean by then

I'm only ten years old

Close my eyes and brace myself

I only noticed your face

no matter what you're gonna build my shell

No matter what you're gonna build my shell

My scars are yours today

this story ends so good

I love you and

I understand

that you stood where I stand

Close my eyes and brace myself

I only noticed your face

No matter what you're gonna break my shell

No matter what you're gonna break my shell

I'm done healing

I'm done healing

there are two songs that mean a lot to me,

:dancingpanda: chasing cars from snow patrol :dancingpanda:

We'll do it all

Everything

On our own

We don't need

Anything

Or anyone

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know

How to say

How I feel

Those three words

Are said too much

They're not enough

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time

Chasing cars

Around our heads

I need your grace

To remind me

To find my own

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am

All that I ever was

Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where

Confused about how as well

Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

and the other one is

:rainbow: keep holding on by Avril Lavigne :rainbow:

You're not alone

Together we stand

I'll be by your side

You know I'll take your hand

When it gets cold

And it feels like the end

There's no place to go

You know I won't give in

No, I won't give in

Keep holding on

Cause you know we'll make it through

We'll make it through

Just stay strong

Cause you know I'm here for you

I'm here for you

There's nothing you can say

Nothing you can do

There's no other way when it comes to the truth

So, keep holding on

Cause you know we'll make it through

We'll make it through

So far away

I wish you were here

Before it's too late

This could all disappear

Before the door's closed

And it comes to an end

With you by my side

I will fight and defend

I'll fight and defend, yeah, yeah

Keep holding on

Cause you know we'll make it through

We'll make it through

Just stay strong

Cause you know I'm here for you

I'm here for you

There's nothing you can say

Nothing you can do

There's no other way when it comes to the truth

So, keep holding on

Cause you know we'll make it through

We'll make it through

Hear me when I say

When I say I believe.

Nothing's gonna change

Nothing's gonna change destiny

Whatever's meant to be

Will work out perfectly

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

La da da da, la da da da

La da da da da da da da da

Keep holding on

Cause you know we'll make it through

We'll make it through

Just stay strong

Cause you know I'm here for you

I'm here for you

There's nothing you can say

Nothing you can do

There's no other way when it comes to the truth

So, keep holding on

Cause you know we'll make it through

We'll make it through

Ahh, ahh

Keep holding on

Ahh, ahh

Keep holding on

There's nothing you can say

Nothing you can do

There's no other way when it comes to the truth

So, keep holding on

Cause you know we'll make it through

We'll make it through

We'll make it through
