And it starts
Sometime around midnight Or at least that's when You lose yourself For a minute or two As you stand Under the bar lights And the band plays some song About forgetting yourself for a while And the piano's this melancholy sound check To her smile And that white dress she's wearing You haven't seen her For a while But you know That she's watching She's laughing, she's turning She's holding her tonic like a crux The room suddenly spinning She walks up and asks how you are So you can smell her perfume You can see her lying naked in your arms And so there's a change In your emotions And all of these memories come rushing Like feral waves to your mind Of the curl of your bodies Like two perfect circles entwined And you feel hopeless, and homeless And lost in the haze Of the wine And she leaves With someone you don't know But she makes sure you saw her She looks right at you and bolts As she walks out the door Your blood boiling Your stomach in ropes And when your friends say what is it You look like you've seen a ghost And you walk Under the streetlights And you're too drunk to notice That everyone is staring at you And you so care what you look like The world is falling Around you You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her And you know that she'll break you in two |

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real I've been living so long with my pictures of you That I almost believe that the pictures Are all I can feel Remembering you standing quiet in the rain As I ran to your heart to be near And we kissed as the sky fell in Holding you close How I always held close in your fear Remembering you running soft through the night You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow And screamed at the make-believe Screamed at the sky And you finally found all your courage To let it all go Remembering you fallen into my arms Crying for the death of your heart You were stone white So delicate Lost in the cold You were always so lost in the dark Remembering you how you used to be Slow drowned You were angels So much more than everything Hold for the last time then slip away quietly Open my eyes But I never see anything If only I'd thought of the right words I could have held on to your heart If only I'd thought of the right words I wouldn't be breaking apart All my pictures of you Looking so long at these pictures of you But I never hold on to your heart Looking so long for the words to be true But always just breaking apart My pictures of you There was nothing in the world That I ever wanted more Than to feel you deep in my heart There was nothing in the world That I ever wanted more Than to never feel the breaking apart All my pictures of you |

Tupac -- Changes (and so relevant to the ugly things we hear today....see bolded)
Come on come on I see no changes. Wake up in the morning and I ask myself, "Is life worth living? Should I blast myself?" I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black. My stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch. Cops give a damn about a negro? Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero. Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares? One less hungry mouth on the welfare. First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal to brothers. Give 'em guns, step back, and watch 'em kill each other. "It's time to fight back", that's what Huey said. 2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead. I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other. We gotta start makin' changes. Learn to see me as a brother 'stead of 2 distant strangers. And that's how it's supposed to be. How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me? I'd love to go back to when we played as kids but things changed, and that's the way it is Joy Division -- Atmosphere People like you find it easy, Naked to see, Walking on air. Hunting by the rivers, Through the streets, Every corner abandoned too soon, Set down with due care. Don't walk away, in silence, Don't walk away. Nas -- Black Girl Lost Growin' up seein' it it should remind you you bein' lied to Everything that move be inside you Sacred as you are left with these wannabes to guide you I watched you, hard to knock you, I tried not to They spot you out dancin' topless in your drawers "Damn look, there goes a black girl lost" Radiohead -- Let Down Shell smashed, juices flowing Wings twitch, legs are going Don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel One day, I am gonna grow wings A chemical reaction Hysterical and useless Hysterical and Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around Mobb Deep -- Shook Ones I'm only nineteen but my mind is old and when the things get for real my warm heart turns cold another nigga deceased, another story gets told it ain't nothin' really hey, yo dun spark the Philly so I can get my mind off these yellowbacked n-gas why they still alive I don't know, go figure meanwhile back in Queens the realness is foundation if I die I couldn't choose a better location when the slugs penetrate you feel a burning sensation getting closer to God in a tight situation now, take these words home and think it through or the next rhyme I write might be about you PJ Harvey -- You Said Something How did we get here? To this point of living? I held my breath And you said something And I'm doing nothing wrong Riding in your car The radio playing We sing up to the eighth floor A rooftop, Manhattan At one in the morning And you said something That I've never forgotten |

Where I Stood - Missy Higgins
I don't know what I've done Or if I like what I've begun But something told me to run And honey, you know me, it's all or none There were sounds in my head Little voices whispering That I should go and this should end Oh, and I found myself listening 'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should 'Cause she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood See, I thought love was black and white That it was wrong or it was right But you aren't leaving without a fight And I think, I am just as torn inside 'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should 'Cause she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call You meant more to me than any one I, I've ever loved at all But you taught me how to trust myself And so I say to you, this is what I have to do |

Lyrics to American Pie,
Lyrics to Sounds of Silence Lyrics to The Wall by Kansas This song always goes through my mind when I have a difficult dilemma in life. One of my favorite lines: "The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride" |

Childish Things -- James McMurtry
Aunt Clara kept her Bible Right next to the phone in case she needed a quote While she talked to someone In my memory she smiles While the blessing is said And visions of freeze tag dance in my head She says I’ll grow up big If I eat all my roast I’ll still believe in heaven But I won’t believe in ghosts anymore I’ll put away childish things Every other weekend at the age of thirteen With my fishing pole and my Field and Stream Ridin’ back home on the Trailways bus I looked out the window ‘Til I saw too much And I called my parents by their own first names I played in the alley But I didn’t play the game anymore I put away childish things The wolves howl all night long They won’t stop and they won’t go home Beneath my window they run Probably it’ll be alright If I keep it all locked up tight And wait ‘til daylight comes Now my boy goes like a house on fire He’ll never burn out and he’ll never retire And I remember when I used to think like that When I was young and the world was flat But I’m forty some years old now and man I don’t care All I want now is just a comfortable chair And to sell all my stock And live on the coast I don’t believe in heaven But I still believe in ghosts. |

Letter to Hermione - David Bowie
The hand that wrote this letter Sweeps the pillow clean. So rest your head and read a treasured dream. I care for no one else but you. I tear my soul to cease the pain. I think maybe you feel the same, What can we do? I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do. So I've been writing just for you. |

STRONG +1 to Sky Black and Blue.
Acoustic #3 by the goo goo dolls has always spoken to me as well They painted up your secrets With the lies they told you And the least they ever gave you Was the most you ever knew And I wonder where these dreams go When the world gets in your way What's the point in all this screaming No one's listening anyway Your voice is small and fading And you hide in here unknown And your mother loves your father 'Cause she's got nowhere to go And she wonders where these dreams go 'Cause the world got in her way What's the point ever trying Nothing's changing anyway They pres their lips against you And you love the lies that they say And I tried so hard to reach you But you're falling anyway And you know I see right through you 'Cause the world gets in your way What's the point in all this screaming You're not listening anyway Also, the promise by tracy chapman If you dream of me like I dream of you In a place that's warm and dark In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart And of course "I can't make you love me" by Bonnie Rait, that entire song is just really beautiful, so sad. |

"Sunday" by David Bowie. He wrote it after 911.
Nothing remains We could run when the rain slows Look for the cars or signs of life Where the heat goes Look for the drifters We should crawl under the bracken Look for the shafts of light on the road Where the heat goes Everything has changed For in truth, it's the beginning of nothing And nothing has changed Everything has changed For in truth, it's the beginning of an end And nothing has changed And everything has changed In your fear Of what we have become Take to the fire Now we must burn All that we are Rise together Through these clouds As on wings In your fear, seek only peace In you fear, seek only love In your fear, seek only peace In you fear, seek only love In your fear, in your fear As on wings This is the trip And this is the business we take This is our number All my trials, Lord Will be remembered Everything has changed |

Stay with me,
My love I hope you'll always be Right here by my side if ever I needed you Oh my love In your arms, I feel so safe and so secure Everyday is such a perfect day to spend Alone with you I will follow you will you follow me All the days and nights that we know will be I will stay with you will you stay with me Just one single tear in each passing year With the dark, I see so very clearly now All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now Fading away I can say The night is long but you are there Close at hand I'm better for the smile you give And while I live I will follow you will you follow me All the days and nights that we know will be I will stay with you will you stay with me Just one single tear in each passing year there will be I will follow you, I will follow you |
