Sums it all up for me:

"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"

N.I.N 'hurt'

Think of me when you're out, when you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
When the world treats you way too fairly
It's a shame I'm a dream

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
And wake up early to black and white re-runs
That escape from my mouth

Oh-Oh

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I could follow you to the beginning
And just relive the start
And maybe then we'll remember to slow down
At all of our favorite parts


All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

See I've been here for 28 years
Pounding sweat beneath these wheels
We tattooed lines beneath our skin
No surrender, my Bobby Jean.

See I've been here for 28 years
Pounding sweat beneath these wheels
We tattooed lines beneath our skin
No surrender, my Bobby Jean
We've been burned by all our fears
Just from growing up around here
Our father's factories marked our cars
While Eden burned against the stars

And Sally said, Sally said,
"I can't take no more regret
It cut us deep into our souls,
Came and climbed into our bed."
And Sally said, Sally said,
"Meet me by the River's edge.
We're going to wash these sins away
Or else we won't come back again."

You know I had these ballroom dreams
That as a child, came to me
I was a boy in Grandma's arms
A mother's pride and a wounded heart.
And I was filled with fiery wonder
You wore Audrey Hepburn pearls
You were the only one who understood me then and the only one who will.

And Sally said, Sally said,
"I can't take no more regret
It cut us deep into our souls,
Came and climbed into our bed."
And Sally said, Sally said,
"Meet me by the River's edge
We're going to wash these sins away,
Or else we won't come back again."

And now I drive the 101 on the California night
And I'm amazed at all the stars beneath that old Hollywood sign
And they waltz, A BALLET ON THE BOULEVARD, to a place we never kept
And I'm not sure if we belong here, if I ever really left, or if I can go home
If I can go home

And Sally said, Sally said,
"I can't take no more regret
It cut us deep into our souls,
Came and climbed into our bed."
And Sally said, Sally said,
"Meet me by the River's edge
We're going to wash these sins away,
Or else we won't come back again."

No retreat. No regrets.
Meet me by the river's edge.

Polly Scattergood - Untitled 27

I miss you x9

Where are you x3

I’m lost x4

Where are you x4

I’m lost x4

Suicidal tendencies,
Drink creative or deep
Autopilot
Love the music

Sick
Sleep [x10 fade]
I love you x8

I don’t want to disappoint you, oh
Because you hold me, oh
Before I fall
You’re my unconditional love
You’re my eyes and you’re my sunny days
But when my pen hit the paper
And try to mould and sculpt and shape her
And make her lovely
It wasn’t good enough
It wasn’t good enough
But when I can hear the paper
And try to mould and sculpt and shape her
And I try to love it
But it still hurts to touch
It still hurts to touch

And it hurts to touch
And it hurts to touch
And it hurts to touch
And it hurts
To touch

And it hurts to be here
I don’t want to be here
And it hurts to be here
Tonight x2

And it hurts to be here (suicidal tendencies)
I don’t want to be here (drink creative or deep)
Goodnight,
My love

Rust by Echo and the Bunnymen

I wish that you were here
Down amongst the dust
I need someone to help me
You need someone to trust
There's something with these tears
Turning me to rust
I need someone to help me
Yeah I need someone to touch


Give me one more try
And I'll come flaking back to you
I wish that you were here
I wish that it was true


[Chorus]
I can feel the stars shooting through my heart like rain
Leaving on the scars where the pleasure turns to pain
Point me in a light
Bright and shiny in right direction
And then take me home again

Just when you thing it's over
Just when you think it's done
Out of every nowhere
You never see it come
I know the lines are showing
I can't keep them in
Like everybody's story
It's written on the skin


Give me one last try
And I'll make it up to you
Wish that you were here
Wish that I was true


[Chorus]

I wish that you were here
Down amongst my dust
I need someone to help me
You need someone to trust
There's something with these tears
Turning me to rust
I wish that you were here
I wish that it was ours


[Chorus]

... Everything's gonna be all right ...
"She would never know, because he would never tell her. Somehow if she’d known the worst parts, she couldn’t have gone on being a haven for him… He needed her ignorance to hide in. Yet at the same time, he wanted to know and be known as deeply as possible. And the two desires were irreconcilable"

No Place That Far by Sara Evans' with Vince Gill

I can't imagine,
any greater fearthan waking up without you here.
And though the sun would still shine, my whole world , would all be gone
but not for long.

I f I had to to run, if I had to crawl,
if I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls,
allways know that I would find a way ,
to get to where you are
there's no place that far

It wouldn't matter why we're apart,
lonely minds or two stubborn hearts.
Nothing short of God above,
could turn me away from your love. I need you that much.

If I had to run, if I had to crawl,
if I had to swim a hundred rivers
just to climb a thousand walls,
allways knowthat I would find a way,
to get to where you are
there's no place that far.

If I had to run, if I had to crawl,
if I had to swim a hundred rivers,
just to climb a thousand walls,
allways know that I would find a way to get to where you
there's no place that far.
Baby there's no place that far.
Mike's Place


God,grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom to know the difference

The tables were turned

I've got a new attitude!

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough

No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
Part of me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
PBH, Telling my parents, My place - All welcome [hugs, stars, challenges, questions are all ok :gooddeal: :Fade-color

In the end, it doesnt matter where you have been or who you were,
it only matters who you want to be and where you want to end up.

Asleep~The Smiths

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I`m tired and I want to go to bed
I am a poor freezingly cold soul
So far from where
I intended to go
Scavenging through life`s very constant lulls
So far from where I`m determined to go

"Lights" - Ellie Goulding

I had a way then losing it all on my own
I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now the dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me


You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine It when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone


'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine It when I'm alone

Home

Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing

And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
In an unlocked place the only time I feel safe

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone


'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone

Home

Yeah, hee

Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone


'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

You're so fragile tonight
Been up hurting all night
It's not trivial like they think
Yes you're desperate and you're hurt

Thought about it so many times
Too afraid to open your eyes
To see the sadness that's inside
Just sit back in and stop time

You're tender and you're tired
You can't be bothered to decide
Whether you live or die
Or just forget about your life

I’ve become resistant to myself
To my weaknesses and pain
I’ve become the one who wants to live and just feel alive again.

I’ve changed myself.
I've changed.
I've changed.
I’ve changed myself.
I've changed.

I’ve become addicted to being strong.
Started out my second life.


(from "Before", by Riverside, a Polish progressive band, from their "Second Life Syndrome" release)
Alone we are born
And die alone
Yet see the red-gold cirrus
Over snow-mountain shine.


From High Country Weather, James K Baxter

You walk with an intelligence
That informs a clear bright eye
There are unexpected revelations
In the company of ravens.
