Lyrics That Appeal To You Today!

[Naughtiest_Maximus]

Waiting for the great leap forwards - Billy Bragg

It may have been Camelot for Jack and Jacqueline
But on the Che Guevara highway filling up with gasoline
Fidel Castro's brother spies a rich lady who's crying
Over luxury's disappointment
So he walks over and he's trying
To sympathise with her but he thinks that he should warn her
That the Third World is just around the corner

In the Soviet Union a scientist is blinded
By the resumption of nuclear testing and he is reminded
That Dr Robert Oppenheimer's optimism fell
At the first hurdle

In the Cheese Pavilion and the only noise I hear
Is the sound of someone stacking chairs
And mopping up spilt beer
And someone asking questions and basking in the light
Of the fifteen fame filled minutes of the fanzine writer

Mixing Pop and Politics he asks me what the use is
I offer him embarrassment and my usual excuses
While looking down the corridor
Out to where the van is waiting
I'm looking for the Great Leap Forwards

Jumble sales are organised and pamphlets have been posted
Even after closing time there's still parties to be hosted
You can be active with the activists
Or sleep in with the sleepers
While you're waiting for the Great Leap Forwards

One leap forward, two leaps back
Will politics get me the sack?

here comes the future and you can't run from it
If you've got a blacklist I want to be on it

It's a mighty long way down rock 'n roll
From Top of the Pops to drawing the dole

If no one seems to understand
Start your own revolution and cut out the middleman

In a perfect world we'd all sing in tune
But this is reality so give me some room

So join the struggle while you may
The Revolution is just a T-shirt away
Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards

YOUR LOVE - The Outfield

Josie's on a vacation far away,
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I wanna say
You know I like my girls a little bit older
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I ain't got many friends left to talk to
Nowhere to run when I'm in trouble
You know I'd do anything for you
Stay the night but keep it under cover
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Try to stop my hands from shaking
but something in my mind's not making sense
It's been a while since we were all alone
but I can't hide the way I'm feeling

As you're leaving please would you close the door
and don't forget what I told ya
Just cos you're right that don't mean I'm wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Use your love
Lose your love
Your love


i so this song! :D

 

[onetwothreefour]

i just really can't go past this track at the moment - i don't remember being so obsessed with one song and its lyrics since i first started listening to radiohead properly.

and i'm in awe.

modest mouse - "the world at large"
Ice-age heat-wave, can't complain.
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan.
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.
I move on to another day, to a whole new town with a whole new way.
Went to the porch to have a thought.
Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop.
You don't know where and you don't know when.
But you still got your words and you got your friends.
Walk along to another day.
Work a little harder, work another way.

Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan.
We'll float on maybe would you understand?
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?
Well I'll float on maybe would you understand?

The days get shorter and the nights get cold.
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.
I pack up my belongings and I head to the coast.
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most.
The days get longer and the nights smell green.
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.

I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Walked on off to another spot.
I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want.
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?

The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.
Outside, water like air was great.
I didn't know what I had that day.
Walk a little farther to another plan.
You said that you did, but you didn't understand.

I know that starting over is not what life's about.
But my thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
My thoughts were so loud.

NOFX - The Decline

NOFX - The Decline

Where are all the stupid people from
and how did they get to be so dumb
Bred on purple mountain range
Feed amber waves of grains
To lesser human beings, zero feelings

Blame it on human nature, man's destiny
Blame it on the greediocracy
The fear of God, the fear of change, the fear of truth

Add the Bill of Rights, subtract the wrongs,
There's no answers
Memorize and sing Star spangled songs,
When the questions
Aren't ever asked is anybody learning from the past
We're living in united stagnation

Father what have I done.
I took that 22. A gift to me from you
to bed with me each night.
Kept it clean polished it well.
Cherished every cartridge every shell

Down by the creek under brush under dirt
There's a carcass of my second kill
Down at the park under stone under pine
There's a carcass of my brother William

Brother where have you gone to I swear
I never thought I could I see so many times
They told me to shoot straight, don't pull the trigger squeeze,
that will insure a kill, a kill is what you want
To kill is why we breed

The Christians love their guns the church and NRA
Pray for their salvation prey on the lower faiths

The story book's been read and every line believed
The curriculum's been set logic is a threat
Reason searched and seized

Jerry spent some Time in Michigan
A 20 year vacation After all he had a dime
A dime is worth a Lot more in Detroit
A dime in California Just a 20 dollar fine

Jerry only stayed A couple months
It's hard to enjoy Yourself while bleeding out the ass
Asphyxiation is simple and fast
It beats 17 fun years of being someone's bitch

Don't think (Stay) Drink your wine (Home) Watch the fire burn (Be)
His problems not mine (Safe) Just be that model citizen

I wish I had a schilling for every senseless killing
I'd buy a government. America's for sale and
You can get a good deal on it and make a healthy profit,
Or maybe tear it apart. You start with assumption,
That a million people are smart, smarter than one.

Serotonin's gone, she gave up, drifted away

Sara fled though process gone
She left her answering machine on
The greeting left spoken sincere
Messages no one will ever hear

10,000 messages a day a million more transmissions lay
Dead victims of the laissez faire
10,000 voices, 100 guns, 100 decibels turns to one,
One bullet, one empty head
Now with serotonin gone

The man that used to speak Performs a cute routine.
Feel a little patronized. Don't feel bad. They found
A way inside your head And you feel a bit misled.
It's not that they don't Care.
The television's put a thought inside your Head
Like a Barry Manilow
Jingle I'd like to teach the World to sing in perfect
Harmony a symphonic blank Stare.
It doesn't make you care.
Not designed to make you care.
They're betting you wont care.

They'll place a wager on your greed, a wager on your pride
Why try to beat them when a million others tried.

We are the whore. Intellectually spayed.
We are the queer. Dysfunctionally raised.

One more pill to kill the pain, (3x)
Living through conformity
One more prayer should keep me safe.
One more prayer to keep us warm
One more prayer keep me safe
There's gonna be a better place

Lost the battle lost the war
Lost the things worth living for
Lost the will to win the fight.
One more pill to kill the pain.
narananana (x4)

The going gets tough the tough get debt
Don't pay attention pay the rent
our next of kins pay for your sins
A little faith should keep us safe

Save us

The human existence is failing resistance
Essential. The future written off. The odds are
Astronomically against us only moron and genius
Would fight a losing battle against the super ego.
When giving in is so damn comforting

And so we go on with our lives
We know the truth but prefer lies
Lies are simple. Simple is bliss.
Why go against tradition when we can
Admit defeat. Live in decline.
Be their victim of our own design
With status quo built on suspect.
Why would anyone stick out their neck
Fellow members of club. We've got ours.
I'd like to introduce you to our host.

He's got his and I've got mine.
Meet The Decline.

We are the queer
We are the whore
Ammunition in the class war
We are worker
We love our queen
We sacrifice
We're soilent green
We are the queer
We are the whore
Ammunition in the class war


If you have the chance download and listen to this song.. it is genius

 

[neverwas]

against me - sink florida sink

The party's over
A cd skipping
It's the same song repeating
Grows more grating with each passing second...

And the walls contain a resonation, laughter, and conversation.
It was fun while it lasted, but now we should be going.
I hope everybody had a real good time
The hospitality's partaken, my head is flying my heart's racing to keep up.
And I hope I havent overdone it nooo...
I hope my body can take it. I hope I make the the occasion.
It's only this fucked up i start realizing
all this living is just dying
and if these are my friends, if this is my home,
if this is how i spend my nights, how i communicate, and demonstrate a love of life.
My eyes roll into the back of my head, if these are the last words that i ever said
No i'm not ready to die just yet.



And we'll keep ourselves in a place where it's easy to hold onto.
the last threats came and went, this is the way that wars are played.
always heading for a front, heading for a front,
we go into the obscurity of an easy to pass on feeling that objection is so cliche.
a new waaay on [x4]
so can your pop sensibilities sing me the end of the world?
turn gunshots and mortar blasts into a metaphor of how we are all the same.
well there's a lot of things that should be said, so we're hammering six strings,
machine gun in audible voices, this is the party we came for.
a new waaay on
a new waaay on
a new waaay on
a new waaay...
we stand in amazement of motion in a world that is constantly revolving.
with plans of invasion and arms races racing we rock to the new sensation.
a new waaay on
a new waaay on
a new waaay on
a new waaay...



it's an into the sunrise aesthetic, let's pretend this is an informed consent. that class division doesn't make an infantry, there is no incentive, no franchise opportunities. and the magazine spreads of fashion models gas masks in hand, it's ok, it's all right, these are situations we learn to live in. when an invasion can bring a country its freedom then unconsciousness is true happiness, no, i don't know what to say.



Not one more word tonight
between here and there
Well put a distance the size of the ocean
so now his heart can be a skipping rythem
As the cadence carries me
I almost drift away
far enough to forget
but when it comes you cannot hesitate
and when found i will write
on account and seal it in an envelope
addresed to your last known residence

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooo

and we sink and we drowned
and what is lost can never be found
well these arms did swim,
until the lungs pulled in
panic was lost in a deep understanding
that you will see what is wrong with everything
what is wrong with you and me
they make all the right reasons to fuck it up
you gotta fuck it up

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooo

 

[RareForm]

Muse

Bliss

Everything about you is how I wanna be
Your freedom comes naturally
Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less

Give me all the peace and joy in your mind

Everything about you pains my envying
Your soul can't hate anything
Everything about you is so easy to love
They're watching you from above

Give me all the peace and joy in your mind
I want the peace and joy in your mind
Give me the peace and joy in your mind

Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less

Give me all the peace and joy in your mind
I want the peace and joy in your mind
Give me the peace and joy in your mind

[Mariposa]

Tomorrow marks eight years since I lost my mother. I don't know how many of you speak Spanish, but this song always makes me think of her. It's about embracing my shortcomings as a daughter and maintaining the best memories of my mom I can.

Laura Pausini- Lo Siento

Mamá, he soñado que llamabas a mi puerta
un poco tensa y con las gafas empañadas,
querías verme bien y fue la vez primera,
sentía que sabías como te añoraba.
Y me abrazaste mientras te maravillabas
de que aguantara triste y casi sin aliento,
hace ya tanto que no estamos abrazadas
y en el silencio me dijiste...¡lo siento!.
Pero ha bastado un ruido para despertarme,
para llorar y para hacer que regresara
a aquellos días que de niña me cuidabas
donde en verano cielo y playa se juntaban.
Mientras con mi muñeca vieja te escuchaba
los cuentos que tú cada noche me contabas
y cuando más pequeña tú me acurrucabas
y adormecida en tu regazo yo soñaba.

Pero a los dieciséis sentí como cambiaba,
y como soy realmente ahora me veía,
y me sentí tan sola y tan desesperada
porque yo no era ya la hija que quería.
Y fue el final así de nuestra confianza
de las pequeñas charlas que ayudaban tanto,
yo me escondí tras una gélida impaciencia,
y tú deseaste el hijo que se te ha negado.
Y me pasaba el día sin volver a casa,
no soportaba tus sermones para nada,
y comencé a volverme yo también celosa,
porque eras casi inalcanzable, tan hermosa.
Y abandoné mi sueño a falta de equipaje,
mi corazón al mar tiré en una vasija,
perdí hasta la memoria por falta de coraje,
porque me avergonzaba tanto ser tu hija.
No, no, no, no, no.

Mas no llamaste tú a mi puerta,
inútilmente tuve un sueño que no
puede realizarse,
mi pensamiento está tan lleno del presente
que mi orgullo no me deja perdonarme.
Mas si llamases a mi puerta en otro sueño,
no lograría pronunciar una palabra,
me mirarías con tu gesto tan severo
y yo me sentiría cada vez mas sola.
Por eso estoy en esta carta tan confusa,
para contar algo de paz en lo que pienso,
no para reclamarte ni pedirte excusas,
es solo para decirte, mama...¡lo siento!.
Y no es verdad que yo me sienta
avergonzada,
son nuestra almas tan igual, tan parecidas
esperaré pacientemente aquí sentada,
te quiero tanto mama...escríbeme...tu hija.

Carter USM - The Impossible Dream

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are to weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow the star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right, without question or pause
To be willing to pass into hell for a heavenly cause
And I know, if I'll only be true to the glorious quest

That my heart lies peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last dance of courage
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow the star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right , without question or pause

And to dream the impossible dream
The impossible dream
The impossible dream
The impossible

 

[vnvnation]

Ive got two songs that really appeal to me today

With this knife - Smile empty soul

I let myself fall into a lie
I let my walls come down
I let myself smile and feel alive
I let my walls come down
No matter how i try i don't know why
You push so far away
You wrapped your hands tight around my heart
And squeezed it full of pain

With this knife i'll cut out the part of me
The part that cares for you
With this knife i'll cut out the heart of me
The heart that cares for you

I can't believe the way you took me down
I never saw the pain
Coming in a million broken miles
Like poison for my veins

With this knife i'll cut out the part of me
The part that cares for you
With this knife i'll cut out the heart of me
The heart that cares for you

The hate and the fear
The nightmares that wake me up
In tears
The nightmares and (the hate)..
___________________________________

Therapy - Smile empty soul

too many weeds in the flowers
too many pills in the pharmacy now
too many bugs in the shower
there's too much shit in the air we breathe now

there's too much anger inside me
there's too much scarring when i bleed
there's too much therapy i need
there is no god that i have seen

there's too much doubt in my mom's words
there's too much fear in the way she sees life
i wonder if i'm just like her
i wonder if i can make myself right

you try to help
you listen well
you cannot change the way i see

 

[DigitalDuality]

I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you get bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too ---- Stevie Nicks, Landslide
==============================
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

----REM, Losing my Religion
===================
Load up on guns
Bring your friends
It’s fun to lose
And to pretend
She’s overboard
Myself assured
I know I know
A dirty word
I’m worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little coupling. has always been
And always will until the end ----Tori Amos- Teen Spirit
==============================
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you ---The Cure- Love Song

Godsmack - Serenity
Album - Faceless

as i sit here and slowly close my eyes
i take another deep breath
and feel the wind pass through my body
i'm the one in your soul
reflecting the light
protect the ones who hold you
cradling your inner child
it's serenity
in a place where i can hide
i need serenity
nothing changes, days go by
where do we go when we just don't know
and how do we relight the flame when it's cold
why do we dream when i thought mean nothing
and when will we learn to control
tragic visions slowly stole my life
tore away everything
cheating me out of my time
i'm the one who loves you
no matter wrong or right
and every day i hold you
i hold you with my inner child
it's serenity
in a place where i can hide
i need serenity
nothing changes, days go by
where do we go when we just don't know
and how do we relight the flame when it's cold
why do we dream when i thought mean nothing
and when will we learn to control
where do we go when we just don't know
and how do we relight the flame when it's cold
why do we dream when i thought mean nothing
and when will we learn to control
i need serenity [x2]

The Joshua Tree is

U2
With or Without You

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she’s got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you

Mousse T - Is it cos I'm cool?

Is it 'cos I'm cool
Why you dress like me is it honesty or you just a fool
Is it 'cos I'm cool
Why the school kids laugh cause the papers got it wrong again
Is it 'cos I'm cool
Take a piece of me serve me up on a plate in your restaurant

Is it 'cos I'm cool
Is it 'cos I'm cool

Is it 'cos I'm fly
'Cos I said what I said when I said what I said but I didn't say
Is it 'cos I'm hip
Why you dig my shit and you say I am a fan now I understand
Is it 'cos I'm hot
Why you mention me in your V.I.P memories

Is it 'cos I'm cool
Is it 'cos I'm cool

I ain't buying or selling today
I'm just looking around
For some decent conversation
No hidden agenda
No phony pretender
No holding on out for no sweet sixteen
Or peppermint dream
I'll call you please don't call me

Is it 'cos I'm cool
Is it 'cos I'm cool

Is it 'cos I'm smart
Why you break my heart with the lies you tell baby kiss and tell
Is it 'cos I'm wrong
That you jump right in with no discipline baby sink or swim
Is it 'cos we're friends why you use my name just to entertain yeah

Is it 'cos I'm cool
Is it 'cos I'm cool

Time keeps ticking and running away
And It's taking us fast to a brand new free dimension
Too cool to mention well that's the intention
But some of us too dame blind to see
It's setting us free
To say goodbye to jealousy

Is it 'cos I'm cool
Is it 'cos I'm cool

3 doors down - here without you

A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder
and I don￾ft think I can look at this the same

But all the miles had separate
They disappeared now when I￾fm dreaming of your face

I￾fm here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time

I￾fm here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it￾fs only you and me

The miles just keep rolling
as the people either way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
but I hope it gets better as we go

I￾fm here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time

I￾fm here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it￾fs only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it won￾ft take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it￾fs all said and done
it get hard but it won￾ft take away my love

I￾fm here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time

I￾fm here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it￾fs only you and me

britney spears - my prerogative


People can take everything away from you
But they can never take away your truth
But the question is..
Can you handle mine?

They say I'm crazy
I really don't care
That's my prerogative
They say I'm nasty
But I don't give a damn
Getting boys is how I live
Some ask me questions
Why am I so real?
But they don't undersand me
I really don't know the deal about my sister
Trying hard to make it right
Not long ago
Before I won this fight

Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
That's my prerogative
that's my prerogative
(it's my prerogative)

It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative)
You cant tell me what to do

Don't get me wrong
I'm really not souped
Ego trips is not my thing
All these strange relationships really gets me down
I see nothing wrong in spreading myself around

Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
That's my prerogative
Thats my prerogative

Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
That's my prerogative
that's my prerogative

It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative)
You cant tell me what to do

why can't I live my life
without all of the things
That people say
oh oh

Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
That's my prerogative (they say Im crazy)

Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live? (they say I’m use to)
I don't need permission, make my own decisions
That's my prerogative
(it's my prerogative)

Mars Volta

"This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed"

I've been waiting for so long
For someone to
Mend all the blame
Ive been searching for so long
For something to
anonymous
avenge my name
anonymous
avenge my name

you came here on time
I just hope that it's not to late
I've seen you at night
Biteing the frost of silence
Can you cure us of this fate
Mock the litany in its face
Is that you moatilliatta

I've been waiting for so long
For someone to
Mend all the blame
I've been searching for so long
For something to
Anonymous
Avenge my name
Anonymous
Avenge my name

Hex zero rouge
He'll hybernate no more
The altars run dry
Prefect dictate your final words
does it sting of augur truth
was your temple left in ruins
is that you moatilliatta

I've been waiting for so long
for someone to
mend all the blame
I've been searching for so long
For something to
Anonymous
Avenge my name
Anonymous
Avenge my name

This is the altar
The one that you let me die in
On your knees
How you wept
Much like omertta
The quiet has shielded all intent
On the ground it appears
Like wrath
Avenging the lamb as bait
In a bed of nails you made
Who made this effigy
Is there straw dressed in these fields

And now it won't be long

I've been waiting for so long
For someone to
Mend all the blame
I've been searching for so long
For something to
Anonymous
Avenge my name
Anonymous
Avenge my name

Sugababes - Caught in a moment

Your stare swallows me
And I can hardly breathe
I feel it's dangerous
Could be deadly
Somehow I'm willing to do the things you want
Take me in your arms
Spoon-feed my heart and

Drip by drip
I'll take it all
Sip by sip
I guess that it's
Make or break
Boy here and now

We're caught in a moment
And I won't let it go
I am falling deeper, losing my control
Involved in a feeling
Like the blink of a eye
And the silence it belongs to you and I

Broke through barriers
And passed a state of mind
I'm not scared no more
It feels divine
So take me in
And catch me when I fall
I'm waiting on the edge
Uncut my soul

Snip by snip
I'm oozing it
Bit by bit
I'm taking it
Step by step
Boy here and now

We're caught in a moment
And I won't let it go
I am falling deeper, losing my control
Involved in a feeling
Like the blink of a eye
And the silence it belongs to you and I

Secretly I let it slip
Emotional I fall through it
All I know I'm losing my control
I'm down your way too far
And there's no turning back
And now I'm shedding all my fears
I know, I know

I only heard this song for the first time a couple nights ago...but it nearly made me cry, and there's still something amazingly sad and touching about a man like Johnny Cash having so many regrets right through to his last days...

Johnny Cash - Hurt
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

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

(EDIT: I just found out this is actually a NIN song that Johnny Cash covered..go figure....)

Nikka Costa - Corners of My Mind

I really love her voice she is a new favorite of mine and this song just tops it


Meet me in the stillness
Away from all this madness
I'll give you a piece of me
If you'll give me a moment
To let you into the corners of my mind

I looked into a stranger
And found my soul waiting there
It hit me like a siren
To see myself everywhere
And I saw that I knew him like the corners of my mind

And like every other soul
You feel the night come on hard and go slow
And life goes on and on and it goes
In the corners of my mind

So shed your skin for me
Let's pull back the covers
There's so much about ourselves
We're yet to discover
So won't you let me in to the corners of your mind

We pass on chance with our eyes to the ground
It only takes a minute to see what's around
But instead we choose to reside in the corners of our minds

So I stand before you now
Faulty but not broken
Fragile like the break of day
And sometimes sad like words unspoken
But I'll let you in
I'll let you in to the corners of my mind

And like every other soul
You feel the night come on hard and go slow
And life goes on and on and it goes
In the corners of my mind
