Well my heart is sweating bullets
From the circles it has raced
Like a little feathered Indian
Callin' out the clouds for rain
I'd go runnin' through the thicket
I'd go careless through the thorns
Just to hold her for a minute
Though it'd leave me wanting more

Hold me close my dear
Sing your whispering song
Softly in my ear
And I will sing along
Honey tell me how your love runs true
And how I can always count on you
To be there when the bullets fly
I'd run across the river just to hold you tonight.

Holy moly great lyrics. I'm gonna check that song out now
 
All the colors lose their vibrance
That's why loneliness is violence
Cause the moment I'm in silence
That's when darkness comes to find me

(This girl's fucking perfect right now
I don't want to ruin that
Maybe you're perfect right now.
Maybe you don't want to ruin that
That way you can go your entire life
Without really having to know anybody)

There's this thing that you do
You keep everything inside you
Try to hide it more than I do
But you feel it too

You Feel It Too - Moxy The Band
 
Excerpts from Simple Together by Alanis Morissette

You've been my golden best friend
Now with post-demise at hand
I can't go to you for consolation
'Cause we're off limits during this transition

This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And I can't stop bumping into things

I thought we'd be simple together
I thought we'd be happy together
Thought we'd be limitless together
I thought we'd be precious together
But I was sadly mistaken

This loss is numbing me
It pierces my chest
And I can't stop dropping everything

If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared
If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented
If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air
My wealth would render this no less severe

Thought we'd be exploring together
Thought we'd be inspired together
I thought we'd be flying together
Thought we'd be on fire together
But I was sadly mistaken
 
Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me, little girl
On a magic carpet ride

Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free

This is my body, and I live in it. It's 32 and 6 months old. It's changed a lot, since it was new, it's done stuff it wasn't built to do. I often try to fill it up with wine. and the weirdest thing about it is, I've spent so much time hating it. but it never says a bad word about me, this is my body, and it's fine. It's where I spend the vast majority of my time. It's not perfect. but it's mine.

Wow. Beautiful
 
I'm forty years old
And it looks like the end of the rainbow
Ain't no pot of gold
The things that I've done
I doubt anyone will remember
After I'm gone
The places I've been
There's some I'd go back to
And some where I won't go again
And most of the time
I'm feelin' like I'm fadin' into the night
But when I'm with you
I feel like a dreamer
That's had all his dreams come true
Like my skies are all blue
When I'm with you
Got a good job
And I'm thankful to be workin'
When so many good people are not
Sometimes I can't stand
How my back and my hands
They won't work like they used to
Somewhere in my mind
I'm still searchin' for something
I know that I'm not gonna find
When I know for sure
I've got so much more
Than a man ever needs
But when I'm with you
I feel like a dreamer
That's had all his dreams come true
Like my skies are all blue
When I'm with you
I'm forty years old
And it looks like the end of the rainbow
Ain't no pot of gold

The followup verse is amazing too:

This is my brain. and I live in it.
It's made of love, and bad song lyrics.
it's tucked away behind my eyes, where all my fucked up thoughts can hide.
cuz God forbid I hurt somebody.
And the funny thing about a mind is that every answer that you find, is the basis for a brand new, cliche.
this is my brain. and it's fine. It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
its not perfect, I'm not quite sure I've worked out how to work it,
It's not perfect. but it's mine.

Tim Minchin totally underestimated as a song writer
 
We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything, it comes tumbling down
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly

The Ship Song - Nick Cave
 
Nothing will ever be
Like when we were seventeen
The stars will rearrange
The sun will fade away
Everyone will change
But we will still remain
And outlast the pyramids

The Silence - Halestorm
 
Oh hey
I had a night I had a day
I did one million stupid things
I said one billion foolish things
I'm not okay, I got a baseball bat beside my bed
To fight off what's inside my head
To fight off what's behind my meds
I'm lonely; lost in pain

It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a monster, just a human
And you made a few mistakes
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not gruesome, just human
And you made a few mistakes
It's alright, oh, it's okay, oh

Goddamn
I threw a brick right through the window
My life ignored the signals
I'm high and drunk on ego, can't see straight
So I just feel my way around and
I'm touching and I'm grabbing everything I can't be havin'
I am broken down in shame

It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a demon, there's a reason
You behaved in that way
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
And I believe, yes I believe that you will see a better day
It's alright, oh, it's okay, oh, it's alright, oh

I don't wanna know who I am
'Cause heaven only knows what I'll find
I don't wanna know I'm not capable of coming out alive
I don't wanna see what's inside
I think that I would rather be blind
I don't wanna know I'm not capable, I'm capable

I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay
I'm not a monster, I'm a human
And I've made a few mistakes
I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay
I'm not gruesome, just human
And I've made a few ...

It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a demon, there's a reason
You behaved in that way
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
I believe, yes I believe that you'll see a better day
 
We've been through fake-a-breakdown
Self hurt
Plastics, collections
Self help, self pain,
EST, psychics, fuck all
I was central
I had control
I lost my head
I need this
I need this

It's crazy what you could of had

Here I am
Standing outside your door
Here I am
You don’t want me anymore
Well I stood before your council
And with truth said how I’m livin’
But is honesty with problems
Much too great to be forgiven?

(so) Here I am
Standing outside your door
You’ve changed the locks and cast me out
Condemn the paramour
But you’re the Queen of deception
You out-do the Prince of lies
I am waiting for the hour
When the scales will leave your eyes

Mother Superior and the holy house of hatred
She’ll cast you out with the lies she’ll tell
Mother Superior and the holy house of hatred
Do you feel close to heaven, when you send me to Hell?


Here I am
Standing out on my own
My heart is beating
Your cathedral’s made of stone
You have slandered me
So many times
Spin your yarn like a spider’s web
But I have always tried to speak the truth
And the truth you can’t condone.


Your hero was a poor man
Your hero was a Jew
And just because he was a man
Doesn’t mean he’s less than you

Mother Superior and the holy house of hatred
You drag my spirit through the mud
Mother Superior and the holy house of hatred
Excommunicated - cast out - flesh and blood
Excommunicated. (Am I only) flesh and blood?
 
What it takes to recognize
Emotions that I try to hide
The more I keep them all inside
The more they bury me alive

All my life, I've felt out of place
All my life, I've been saving face
For all these minor feelings are majorly breaking me down

Minor Feelings - Rina Sawayama
 
Please don't dominate the rap, Jack
If you've got nothing new to say
If you please, don't back up the track
This train's got to run today
I spent a little time on the mountain
I spent a little time on the hill
Heard some say: Better run away
Others say you better stand still
Now I don't know, but I been told
It's hard to run with the weight of gold
Other hand I have heard it said
It's just as hard with the weight of lead
Who can deny? Who can deny?
It's not just a change in style
One step done and another begun
And I wonder how many miles?
I spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
Things went down, we don't understand
But I think in time we will
Now, I don't know but I was told
In the heat of the sun a man died of cold
Keep on coming or stand and wait
With the sun so dark and the hour so late
You can't overlook the lack, Jack
Of any other highway to ride
It's got no signs or dividing lines
And very few rules to guide
