songs of life
well this is gonna be a long ass entry, but it is three songs that seem to fit me
The first is "Shed My Skin" by Alter Bridge. I heard it last week, and I really thought I reached a state where I was ready to bust out and be myself.
I am not alone
I live with the memories regret is my home
This is my true freedom
Express all the feelings of what I've become
I watch the rising sun
I hope I find some peace today
[CHORUS]
It seems I've gone away
It seems I've lost myself
It seems really lost my way
It seems I've lost myself
It seems I've
Shed my skin
Are you ready for me
Or purge my love
Are you ready for me
A bitter sinking feeling
Awake to the fact there's no going back
To the worlk in which I was living
I'm searching for something but found less than nothing
I watch the rising sun
I hope I find some peace today
[CHORUS]
Are you ready for me
Or purge my love
Are you ready for me
Oh 'cause I'm dying to feel
What I have lost
Oh and what I was
All my life I've waited
Endless days have taken
Taken what made me free
Years have gone
I'm broken
Left the past unspoken
Those years
Oh they haunt me still
Shed my skin
Are you ready for me
Or purge my love
Are you ready for me
And shed my skin
This one I listened to today. I realized that recently one of my friendships has kinda been falling apart. Not like fighting, just it is being forgotten. And I think "Dead Skin" by Crossfade fits in. It is kinda ironic that I go to a opposite from "Shed My Skin."
So I'm the king of all these things of this mess I have made
Such a waste what a shame my whole life is a fake
Well I'm a bore and I'm sure I'm a thorn inside of you that has torn at you for years
The alcohol the demerol these things never could replace
What a minute with you could do to put a smile on my face
I'm a bore and I'm sure I'm a thorn inside of you that has torn at me for years
I can't get out of this dead skin I can't shed my skin
I'm not sure where to begin why can't I begin again
I can't get under my dead skin I can't shed my skin
Can I sllep 'til then
Phenobarbitol and alocohol these two surely will do
To knock me out keep me down at least a day or two
When I'm awake I can taste how bitter I've become
And it's more than I can bear somedays I pray someone will blow me away
Make it quick but let it burn so I can feel my life fade
Well I'm a waste and I can taste how bitter I've become
And it's more than I can bear
I can't shed my skin
I can't shed my skin
The last song I heard today. "It's All About Soul" by Billy Joel. I never really listen to his stuff or anything, I just heard it at work. And I realize that is what I yearn for. I kinda thought I had that, but I was just deluding myself. Now I just want someone that can understand me enough that I don't have to say everything. Cause in truth, I don't, I think I am afraid to.
She waits for me at night, she waits for me in silence
She gives me all her tenderness and takes away my pain
And so far she hasn't run, though I swear she's had her moments
She still believes in miracles while others cry in vain
It's all about soul
It's all about faith and a deeper devotion
It's all about soul
'Cause under the love is a stronger emotion
She's got to be strong
'Cause so many things getting out of control
Should drive her away
So why does she stay?
It's all about soul
She turns to me sometimes and asks me what I'm dreaming
And I realize I must have gone a million miles away
And I ask her how she knew to reach out for me that moment
And she smiles because it's understood there are no words to say
It's all about soul
It's all about knowing what someone is feeling
The woman's got soul
The power of love and the power of healing
This life isn't fair
It's gonna get dark, it's gonna get cold
You gotta get tough, but that ain't enough
It's all about soul
There are people who have lost every trace of human kindness
There are many who have fallen, there are some who still survive
She comes to me at night and she tells me her desires
And she gives me all the love I need to keep my faith alive
It's all about soul
It's all about joy that comes out of sorrow
It's all about soul
Who's standing now and who's standing tomorrow
You've got to be hard
Hard as the rock in that old rock 'n' roll
But that's only part, you know in your heart
It's all about soul
well, as always, music = life, I really miss that band, =(
