Inspiration
So I'm sitting here, unable to sleep again, and not really feeling like curling up with a book (though, for those of you keeping track, I am now in possession of four more Anita Blake novels), so I turned on the iPod of Evil (aka Darth Pod). Luckily, it was feeling generous and has been providing me with much musical happiness. Then it shuffled to a song I hadn't listened to in ages, Bed of Lies by Matchbox Twenty . Now I really loved this song when I bought the album many many moons ago, but I haven't listened to it (or the rest of the album sadly) in ages. The other wonderful thing about this is it's spurring me on to write! Woo! Now, it's not being specific as to what I'm going to be writing... in fact, I'm not sure what, if any, of the things I'm working on I could apply this one to... but the urge is there, so Word Doc, here I come! :D Anyway, I thought I'd share the song with you my lovely flist!
"Bed Of Lies"
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am
Don't think that I can take another empty moment
Don't think that I can fake another hollow smile
It's not enough just to be lonely
Don't think that I could take another talk about it
Just like me you got needs
And they're only a whisper away
And we softly surrender
To these lives that we've tendered away
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am
Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
Don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong
Where it's not enough just be sorry
Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in
Tried to be more than me
And I gave till it all went away
And we've only surrendered
To the worst part of these winters we've made
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am
I am all that I'll ever be
When you - lay your hands
Over me but don't go weak on me now
I know that it's weak
But God help me I need this
I will not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning
'Cause I am
