I Will Use These Lyrics to Say It All About My Current Circumstances.

"Broken Harp"

Please don't reproach me
For, for how empty
My life has become

I don't what really happened
I watched your disappointment
At being misunderstood

I forgive you

Oh

Something metal
Tearing my stomach out
If you think ill of me

Can you
Can you
Forgive me
Forgive me
Can you
Can you
Forgive me
Too

Too

I tried to learn your language
But fell asleep half undressed

Unrecognizable to myself

"Silence"

All those places
Where I recall the memories
That gripped me
And pinned me down

I go to these places
Intending to think
To think of nothing
No anticipate

And somehow expect
You'll find me there
That by some miracle
You'd be aware

I'd risen this morning
Determined to break
The spell of my longing
And not to think

I freed myself from my family
I freed myself from work
I freed myself
I freed myself
And remained alone

And in my thinking
Steal you away
Though you never wanted me
Anyway

Silence
Silence
Silence
Silence

Both come from White Chalk by PJ Harvey.  An album that came just in the moment it needed to reflect my life.
If you want the melodies, look for them in youtube.  The problem is that the only videos available for Broken Harp so far are images of Britney Spears.  (Some wacko did that!)
Never deny the power of good music and lyrics when it is available.
