^ thanks for reminding me of that catchy pretty song, spidey :)

Break -- The Cinematics
I like my loneliness and the thoughts it brings
The darkness can sometimes be a pleasure to me
I stand around on the outside, I've been peering from the edge
Looking for the answers to the questions I'll never ask
It's from this place we'll find our peace
And reconcile our bitterness
We have to, we have to, brake break break break
Wash away
Wash away
treasure
virtual hugs welcome.

Broken hallelujah by the afters - currently listening to it on repeat.

*rel*

I love the bit - even though I don't know what your plan is - I know you'll make
Beauty from these ashes. . . . I have no idea what God is doing in all of my stuff atm.
I really don't get it. But I know that He is a good God who is entirely in control of all of
My stuff and that he will work it for my good and his glory.

Anyway . . . Good song : )

And just the whole thing I can really relate to. . .

As I walk through the valley of
the shadow of LA
the footsteps that walked next to me
have gone their separate ways
I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things
don't always stay that way
I've seen enough now to know this beautiful place
isn't everything they say

I've heard that evil comes disguised
like a city of angels
I'm walking toward the light

Baptised in the river
I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
Baptised in the river
I've done a lot of things wrong but I swear I'm a believer
and like the prodigal son I was out on my own
now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptised in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered

You're from a small town
you're gonna grow up fast underneath these lights
down in Hollywood on the Boulevard
the dead come back to life
To the praying mother, the worried father
let your children go
If they come back they'll come home stronger
and if they don't you'll know

They say that evil comes disguised
like a city of angels
I'm walking toward the light

Baptised in the river
I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
Baptised in the river
I've done a lot of things wrong but I swear I'm a believer
and like the prodigal son I was out on my own
now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptised in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered

Baptised in the river
on my own
Baptised in the river
on my own

I wanna be delivered
on my own
on my own

Baptised in the river
on my own
I wanna be delivered
Baptised in the river
on my own
I wanna be delivered

Baptised in the river
on my own
I wanna be delivered
I confess I'm a sinner
I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered

In the day by day collision
Called the art of growing up
There's an innocence we look for in the stars
To be taken back to younger days
When there was no giving up
On the people we held closest to our hearts

Yeah it is you that I remember in that glowing
It is you that took my first away from me
It is you I set my standards to, to every walk of life
I haven't met another you since you were with me.

A brief bout with a razor blade cut me
I freaked out, thinking people didn't love me
I watched closely as the you I knew forgot me
In letting go, I am so proud of what I've done

"The Kill" by 30 Seconds to Mars

What if I wanted to break
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do? (Oh, oh)
What if I fell to the floor
Couldn't take all this anymore
What would you do, do, do?

Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you

What if I wanted to fight
Beg for the rest of my life

What would you do?
You say you wanted more
What are you waiting for?
I'm not running from you (from you)

Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you

I tried to be someone else
But nothing seemed to change
I know now, this is who I really am inside.
Finally found myself
Fighting for a chance.
I know now, this is who I really am.

Ah, ah
Oh, oh
Ah, ah

Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you, you, you.
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you

Come break me down (bury me, bury me)
Break me down (bury me, bury me)
Break me down (bury me, bury me)

(You say you wanted more)
What if I wanted to break...?
(What are you waiting for?)
Bury me, bury me
(I'm not running from you)
What if I
What if I
What if I
What if I
Bury me, bury me

Little girl don't you forget her face
Laughing away your tears
When she was the one who felt all the pain

Little girl never forget her eyes
Keep them alive inside
I promise to try -- it's not the same

Keep your head held high -- ride like the wind
Never look behind, life isn't fair
That's what you said, so I try not to care

Little girl don't run away so fast
I think you forgot to kiss -- kiss her goodbye

Will she see me cry when I stumble and fall
Does she hear my voice in the night when I call
Wipe away all your tears, it's gonna be all right

I fought to be so strong, I guess you knew
I was afraid you'd go away, too

Little girl you've got to forget the past
And learn to forgive me
I promise to try -- but it feels like a lie

Don't let memory play games with your mind
She's a faded smile frozen in time
I'm still hanging on -- but I'm doing it wrong
Can't kiss her goodbye -- but I promise to try
[madonna - promise to try]
there is, in the end, the letting go.

I'm sorry for everything, oh everything I've done
From the second I was born it seems I had a loaded gun
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved
Oh I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved.

Shots, Imagine Dragons
Let me think about the people who I care about the most. And how when they fail or disappoint me, I still love them, I still give them chances, and I still see the best in them. Let me extend that generosity to myself.” — Ze Frank

I'd sell your heart to the junkyard baby
For a buck, for a buck
If you're looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch
You're out of luck, you're out of luck
...
It's all over, it's all over
It's all over
And there's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge
Killers, thieves, and lawyers
God's away, God's away
God's away on business

(Tom Waits "God's Away On Business")

From the pain of our home
And just like balloons

That no one knows"

Amy Winehouse - Rehab


I don't ever wanna drink again
I just, ooh, I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
Have everyone think I'm on the mend

It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

They didn't have you where I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

I slip in bed when you're asleep
To hold you close and feel your breath on me
Tomorrow there'll be so much to do
So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

As you wander through this troubled world
In search of all things beautiful
You can close your eyes when you're miles away
And hear my voice like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

I woke up to a heart attack
No I'm just being dramatic
It's this massive panic
That's fueling my heart rate
It's racing and I'm manic

Have you ever had the feeling
When you just don't wanna breath
And you can't stand up without leaning
And there's nothing to believe in
Have you ever walked outside
And felt like you might throw up
Right beside your car
Before you even get inside

Every day of my life

I don't wanna be dependent
On synthetic medicine
That keeps me calm enough to sleep
But kills me softly when I'm weak
Have you ever looked beyond the eyes
Of someone else's life
And thought that you were fine
Until you turned crazy over night

[elohim - xanax]

Covert discretion in a hotel room
Ain't it always the same
Another gig now, got an achin' head
And I'm back on display
Ain't no thing though, all the fans agree, we killed it tonight
Back at the hotel, watching CNN, still scared for my life

So where is the party going on?
It's no fair to make me stay alone

Down in the lobby there's a couple left
Have them buy me a round
I'm your best friend I'm your superstar
Yeah I'm down with the brown
We in the bathroom let's be super cool
You gotta a little bit left
What a special thing, I'm your trophy boy
Get the fuck out my face

'Cause you will go home satisfied
I'll be blacked out for the night

In the morning I can't remember, I can't remember a thing
I'm on the bus now
They won't look at me, man it's always the same
I'm a broken, why can't you see?
Can't you give me your hand?
No, I'm the bad guy, don't appreciate, can't you see who I am?

I'm on my last leg, I can't see
I wasn't trying to blow your fantasy

Another chance now, I'm on the stage again
But this time I don't fly
You all just left me, just walked away. Alone up there to die.
It was the next day got a couple calls making sure I'm alive
Man you gotta end this, just walk away. Your money or your life.

So save your judgments for someone else,
And be grateful I saved me from myself.

Fuck you all I gotta reason to live
And I never gonna die
Fuck you all I gotta reason to live
And I never gonna die
Fuck you all I gotta reason to live
And I never gonna die
Fuck you all I gotta reason to live
And I never gonna die

Aaron Freeman - Covert Discretion
Be diligent, dutiful, and hardworking; be rational, consistent, and trustworthy; be kind, open, and forgiving.
