I'm not crazy
I'm just a tad bit strange
I can't control the thoughts
That always travel through my brain
Oh no, it's not my fault
So don't blame me
I swear to you
That I'm not really crazy
We come in pieces. :pinkstar:

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

under the water by the pretty reckless
:pinkstar: link to youtube video here :pinkstar:
"and if i cried, unto my mother, no she wasn't there, she wasn't there for me. don't let the water drag you down"
i feel like that girl has seen and been through some shit. i want to be just like taylor momsen. i want to be able to put my feelings into words, into music.
:heart:
anyway, back to the song, it's about how nobody saved her when she needed saving. my family has reassured me (in not so nice terms) that they do love me ("that's ridiculous, stop saying that, it's annoying how you say we don't love you. i would have gotten rid of you a long time ago if i didn't") but i just don't feel loved. it's like i'm incapable of it.
i grew up in a very invalidating environment, where feelings were the devil and if you felt something negative you better work it out quick before anybody noticed.
that's why i love this song so much. it's my life.

song i'm listening to now (randomly) has lyrics that hurt (ie describe how i'm feeling)

whitlams, cries too hard
"feather scratches, on her wrist / dry run with a bread knife for a final twist / it wouldn't be for show, if it should come to this
she laughs too easily and cries too hard / shouldn't drink alone, the colours' run"
treasure
virtual hugs welcome.

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
:redstar: the time to tell a person you care is now :redstar: the paper crane chain of hope :redstar:

These tears I've cried
I've cried 1000 oceans
And if it seems
I'm floating in the darkness
Well, I can't believe that I would keep
Keep you from flying
And I would cry 1000 more
If that's what it takes
To sail you home
Sail you home
Sail you home

I'm aware what the rules are
But you know that I will run
You know that I will follow you
Over silbury hill
Through the solar field
You know that I will follow you

And if I find you
Will you still remeber
Playing at trains
Or does this litte blue ball
Just fade away
Over silbury hill
Through the solar field
You know that I will follow you
I'm aware what the rules are
But you know that I will run
You know that I will follow you

These tears I've cried
I've cried 1000 oceans
And if it seems
I'm floating in the darkness
Well I can't believe that I would keep
Keep you from flying
So I will cry 1000 more
If that's what it takes
To sail you home
Sail you home
Sail you home
Sail
Sail you home

Je ne mange pas
C’est au delà du corps
Que je refuse tout ça
Je vomis même la mort

Mes parents n’ont rien à faire dans cette vie qu’ils m’ont donnée
Mais je voudrais qu’ils s’y intéressent ou qu’ils la reprennent à jamais

Je ne mange pas
Je perds toutes mes forces
Mais je ne lâcherai pas
De mon corps je divorce

Mes parents m’ont protégée de tout ce qui pouvait me brûler
Si bien qu’aujourd’hui je suis celle qui souffle sur les braises sous mes pieds

Je ne mange pas
Je suis bien trop tenace
Mais je ne sais pas
Quelle est vraiment ma place

Je me venge en silence de ma vie que je crois ratée
Je vous emmène dans ma danse, je n’veux pas être seule à couler

Je ne mange pas
Regardez moi je meurs
Car quand je ne mange pas
Tout le monde a peur

Je voulais tellement être aimée, pardon c’est tout c’que j’ai trouvé
J’étais si belle si vous saviez mais aujourd’hui je suis une fée

Je ne mange pas
Traitez moi de connasse
Mais je ne sais pas
Comment demander grâce

Ceux qui m’ont vu souffrir finiront par me mépriser
Mon beau malheur vous fera fuir si je décide d’y rester

Je ne mange pas
Ça me fout la nausée
De vous voir la
Je meurs si vous partez

C’est vrai que le bonheur m’aurait aidée à exister
Mais j’ai choisi la douleur, j’ai cru bien faire, j’me suis plantée

Je ne mange pas
J’amaigris vos sourires
Je ne mange pas
Je vous aime, c’est ça le pire

Je défie les blessures que je n’ai pas su digérer
Ma vie a le goût de la mort, c’est pas facile à avaler
_________________________________________________________

and

"Let It Go"

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I’m the queen.

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried

Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know

Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door

I don’t care
What they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway

It’s funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can’t get to me at all

It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free

Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry

Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on

My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back,
The past is in the past

Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone

Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway

I love how well song lyrics express emotions and experiences and allow each of us to make them our own.

I've been returning to 100 in a 55 by Pop Evil for the last couple months.

Turn back on the broken-hearted
Some things are just meant to be
I still believe that we've got a chance
I still believe that we've got a chance to be
Too much is never enough and too little is never enough
Full speed got me looking out my rearview
I can't go back

[Chorus:]
Goin' 100 in a 55
And I don't know why I'm still alive
I do what I can but I know I can't take anymore
I still believe in this rock n' roll
And I pray the music's gonna save my soul but un-
Til then I still believe
Somethings are just meant to be

It's messed up but I got this mission
Drunk again, won't remember anyways
She said it's just a game boy
Don't be gone, don't be gone for long
Ten years, I've been doing this forever
It's all I know baby, please don't turn away
I know you don't believe in me
But I do believe in you

[Chorus]

I'm still falling
Away from here
Away from here
I'm still falling
The wings are falling off
I can't go back
I'm in too deep

[Chorus]

I still believe
Somethings are just meant to be
I'm still falling


and my old standby is Danse Russe by Hurt

Hold onto me please
Don't you let go of me
Come on over
Roll on over
I just need to feel you breathe

Hold onto me please
Don't you let go of me
Think on over
Roll on over
I just need to feel you breathe....

Into my head is out of my mind
Then I become a day behind
And I can't help but wonder why that some days are the very worst case
When I cannot believe that I'm living this way
Kismet tell me it's OK and I'll guess it's just a twist of the fate

There's a tiny dancer in my bed
And she never has too much to say
She reminds me of the Danse' Russe
When my emotions are wounded
Her motions and movements chase the ghosts from me

Hold on to me please
Don't you let go of me
Come on over
Roll on over
I just need to feel you breathe

Hold on to me please
Don't you let go of me
Come on over
Think it over
I just need to feel you...

Quietly while you sleep
Whispering the sweetest things
Close those eyes and start the dream
'Cause all of this is what you mean to me

Come over and I'll show you
Shamrocks are an eight-leaf clover
Won't you reach up and touch my shoulder
And sing to me heavenly
Yes, sing for the life of me

About a tiny dancer in my bed
When she never has too much to say
She reminds me of the Danse' Russe
When my emotions are wounded
Her motions and movements chase the ghosts from me

'Cause there's a tiny dancer in my bed
And she never has too much to say
She reminds me of the Danse' Russe
When my emotions are wounded
Her motions and movements ...

Won't you chase my ghost from me...

So much emotion, so much in motion
Chase this ghost for me.
:bfly: -Al :bfly:

you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,

and there you long to return..."

I felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
Inside my shell I wait and bleed

Honesty is not emo
By Tom Frampton

Another night I'm coming home
Without a shred of faith in anybody
Except in myself
And even there I've got my doubts

We talked all night, and forced our lines
And views on everybody
But nothing seems to be moving anywhere,
Or have I just lost the route?

I'm feeling broke inside
I choke a cry and hope to die
What the hell am I doing here?
I think I wasted a whole year

Another fight, another black eye
Turn your back and walk away 
Sleepwalk though history and then you go and disappear

All this despite the fact you clalimed
We'd never ever go astray
But if elm city burns tonight I don't think I'd shed a tear

I'm feeling broke inside
I choke a cry and hope to die
What the hell am I doing here?
I think I wasted a whole year

She calls me on the telephone 
She's been drunk for three weeks straight 
And her voice starts to quiver and my faith starts to shake
And for all I fucking care why don't you drink yourself to death 
‘Cause after all that I've lost you know I'm all
That I've got left

The snow falls white
There’s not a sound, it covers all our old hypocrisies
And with borders gone, I forgot which side I'm on

You talk of rights
As though we truly knew democracy
But tonight I just can't buy it
Tonight my ideals are long time gone 

I'm feeling broke inside
I choke a cry and hope to die
What the hell am I doing here?
I think I wasted a whole year

She calls me on the telephone 
She's been drunk for three weeks straight 
And her voice starts to quiver and my faith starts to shake
And for all I fucking care why don't you drink yourself to death 
‘Cause after all that I've lost you know I'm all
That I've got left

It felt like springtime
On this February morning
In a courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright
I carry them with me today
