I don't want to hate,
I just want to grow;
why can't I let me
live and be free?..but I die very slowly alone.
I know no more ways,
I am so afraid,
myself won't let me
just be myself and so I am completely alone....

Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts

I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all thats waiting is regret

And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes

Ah, my friends from the prison, they ask unto me
"How good, how good does it feel to be free "?
And I answer them most mysteriously
"Are birds free from the chains of the skyway"?

Ballad In Plain D, Bob Dylan

Doctor Blind by Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton

"Hard to hold, cold to touch
Fall to pieces, treat the rush
In hindsight, primetime talk
All your pain will end here
Let the doctor soothe your brain, dear

My baby's got the lonesome lows, don't quite go away overnight
Doctor Blind, just prescribe the blue ones
If the dizzying highs don't subside overnight
Doctor Blind, just prescribe the red ones"

Or at least that's what most sites say the lyrics are. The first paragraph is a little hard to understand. But it's the second one that really strikes me.

All-American Rejects-Move Along

When all you've got to keep is strong, move along, move along like I know you do.
And even when your hope is gone, move along, move along just to make it through.

Linkin Park-Somewhere I Belong (this song has two parts that stand out to me)

1.) I will never know myself until I do this on my own, And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds have healed.
I will never be anything until I break away from me. I will break away, I'll find myself today.

2.)I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real. I want to let go of the pain I've held so long (Erase all the pain till it's gone). I want to heal, I want to feel like I'm close to something real. I want to find something I've wanted all along. Somewhere I belong.

What did I have to lose?
Be negative
I fled through the snow
Then never sat down
It's clear for today
You're sleazy at night
And soon as we hear we will run
Or start swinging
Start swinging

For below
They're begging for it
I'm on my way
Never settle
Always learning
People, they beg us for it
I'm on my way
Better settle
Almost there

This might just feed the mother of all our needs
Turning over heed

Luck must fight over me
And never give in
To weed out the soul
Replace it with salt
I live, weep, and sigh
In this bed of cement
How perfectly shadowed this circus

I start swinging
We start swinging

'Cause this might just feed the mother of all our needs
Turning over
Turning us so clear
The mother of all our needs
Turning over, turning us so

Just wonder more
For grabbing hold
Just wonder more
For grabbing hold
Wonder more
For grabbing hold

Below
They're begging for it
I want my way
Never settle
Always learning
People, they beg us for it
I'm on my way
Better settle
Almost there

This might just feed the mother of all our needs
Turning over
Turning us so clear
The mother of all our needs
Turning over, turning us so clear

Betrayed - by my soul
The blame - placed on my shoulders
Weight - I will carry all the way to my grave
I cannot be saved abandoned is my faith
Awaken now the dream is over

Takes a number, stands in line
'cause he doesn't feel like himself
And he's always played the wallflower
just cared for a sense of self
He plays on in spite of everything
disillusioned by his right
What makes it all go away
when you can't put up a fight, can't put up a fight?

Oh, but it's okay to breathe
your worries away
when everything and everyone try to lead you astray
Hold your own, hold your ground,
hold to life when you're down,
and always believe that there's a way back home.

Hold ~ Axium

I wish David Cook would go back to this kind of rock. I don't mind his pop rock, but I love his old hard/grungy rock so much more.

My gears they grind
More each day
And I feel like
They're gonna grind away

And the city blocks
They drive me wild
They're never ending
Mile after mile

I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you

It's heaven on earth
In her embrace
Her gentle touch
And her smiling face

I'm just one wishing
That I was a pair
With someone
Oh somewhere

All those sleepless nights
And all those wasted days
I wish loneliness would leave me
But I think he's here to stay
What more can I do
I'm wringing myself dry
And I can't afford to lose
One more teardrop from my eye

Too Afraid To Love You by The Black Keys

I keep crying listening to this

The Show must go on said:
Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score..
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero - another mindless crime.
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime.
Hold the line!
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
The Show must go on!
The Show must go on!Yeah!
Inside my heart is breaking,
My make-up may be flaking,
But my smile, still, stays on!

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance.
Another heartache - another failed romance.
On and on...
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess i'm learning
I must be warmer now..
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now.
Outside the dawn is breaking,
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free!

The Show must go on!
The Show must go on! Yeah,yeah!
Ooh! Inside my heart is breaking!
My make-up may be flaking...
But my smile, still, stays on!
Yeah! oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
Fairy tales of yesterday, will grow but never die,
I can fly, my friends!

The Show must go on! Yeah!
The Show must go on!
I'll face it with a grin!
I'm never giving in!
On with the show!

I'll top the bill!
I'll overkill!
I have to find the will to carry on!
On with the,
On with the show!

The Show must go on.

It was later revealed--after Freddie Mercury's AIDS related death--that the song was in fact about dying and how he had accepted his fate.

Greenday - Road to Acceptance

I always waste my time just wondering
What the next man thinks of me
I'll never do exactly what I want
And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance

And I feel forgotten
Feel like rotting
(Do you feel the same?)
(Do you feel the same?)
Adolescence
Just can't make sense
(It's calling my name)
(It's calling my name)

I take a look around
And all the things I've found
I call it blind hatred
If you'd stop a while
And maybe if you'd smile
You would realize that
We're all the same

It's just like our brain
When it goes insane
We feel the same pain

not actually Fiona Apple
At this point
I'm scared to know what my funeral would be like
Maybe three people would attend
If I'm lucky

My breaking point
I'm starting to feel is very near, maybe tonight
I will finally reach the end
If I'm lucky...
But I'm not known to be lucky


Chorus:
I've alienated myself
If I died tomorrow, no one would care
I've got no friends to call on, got nowhere
To run away
Do you know what it means to be alone?
Just leave it to me to choose the wrong road
Always a stranger, no one knows
My face
'Cause I'm alienated

How did I let it get this far?
Wishes on stars can't save me now
Inside this hole I've made my home
I keep digging

There's no lie I could ever tell
To make this hell seem like heaven
This is never what I wanted
But I got it

Chorus

"Breathe in, breathe out," they say
"Just give it time, tomorrow's a new day"
"Show me a smile now, little one"
Well I say, "Hell no, I'm angry"

Chorus

not actually Fiona Apple
Though dreams can be deceiving
Like faces are to hearts
They serve for sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality lie too far apart


Adagio breezes fill my skin with sudden red
Your hungry flirt borders intrusion
And I'm building memories on things we have not said

When the heart and the blood start to slow
When the nerves melt away like the snow
This infection runs its course through me
So much more than mere infirmity
When the throat closes of its own will
I can't laugh, I can't breathe, I am still
Be my healer; please don't leave me here
Beneath the storm cloud and heavy atmosphere

Someone find me
Someone cure me
If I'm not too sick to cure
Medicate me
Moderate me
So that I can try once more

Tried to sit up in bed, was too weak
Tried to form the right words, tried to speak
I can listen and I can see a bit
You can touch me, come on, touch me, if you don't mind it
Tried to give to the world, only took
Tried to keep courage strong, but it shook
Never told you what it's like to shout
And sterile silence is all that comes out
