Sinking
Caught up in a whirling motion
Such a strange sensation
The currents uncertain
Like sails of a mill
I spin
Like wheels I move in a circle
While you stand on the bank
Immune or evasive
Throw me a lifeline
Save me ...

'Save Me' - Joan Armatrading

huntersvonnegut

it always takes one to know one stranger
maybe we're just wiser now
and been around the block so many times
that we don't notice
that we're all just perfect strangers
as long as we ignore
that we all begin as strangers
just before we find
we really aren't strangers anymore

-Tom Waits

ShaeDetermined

I spoke to God today, and she said that she's ashamed.
What have I become, what have I done?
I spoke to the Devil today, and he swears he's not to blame.
And I understood, cause I feel the same.

"My thirsty wanted whisky; my hungry needed beans,
But it'd been of month of paydays since I'd heard that eagle scream.
So with a stomach full of empty and a pocket full of dreams,
I left my pride and stepped inside a bar."

In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
And where you invest your love, you invest your life

"Awake My Soul"- Mumford & Sons

"Sam Stone's welcome home
Didn't last too long.
He went to work when he'd spent his last dime
And Sammy took to stealing
When he got that empty feeling
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime.
And the gold rolled through his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains,
And eased his mind in the hours that he chose,
While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes...

Sam Stone was alone
When he popped his last balloon
Climbing walls while sitting in a chair
Well, he played his last request
While the room smelled just like death
With an overdose hovering in the air
But life had lost its fun
And there was nothing to be done
But trade his house that he bought on the G. I. Bill
For a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill.

There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose.
Little pitchers have big ears,
Don't stop to count the years,
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.
Mmm...."

Sam Stone - John Prine

Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk to you again
because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping and it's vision was planted in my brain, still remains
The sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a streetlamp I turn my collar to the cold and damp
And my eyes were stabbed by the Flash of a neon light that split the night into the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
10,000 people maybe more
people talking without listening
people hearing without speaking
people writing songs that voices never share
and no one dare
disturb the sounds of silence

"Fools"said I "you do not know
silence like a cancer grows"
Hear my words that I teach you
take my arms that I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell and echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made
and the sigh flashed it's warning
In the words that it was performing and The sign said "the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls. "
And whispered in the sounds of silence

Simon&Garfunkle

Recently performed by Disturbed, even if you're not a fan, highly recommend checking it out.

Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I will only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you an' more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

"It Ain't Me Babe" - Bob Dylan

michaelafoor916

You're beginning to drag the ones you love down
Will this phase ever end?
A thousand arms to hold you
But you won't reach for any hands

​
I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear
See your mother here, her last painful year
I wish you only knew...
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for you
​
Maybe you should just fall
And leave the world and lose it all
And if that's what you need
To finally see
I'll be with you through it all

"Jenny" - Nothing More

This song really hit home for me when my brother was in the hospital while battling depression/suicidal thoughts

"This chapel of ritual
Smells of dead human sacrifices
From the altar bed
On this night of ritual
Invoking our master
To procreate the unholy *kitten*"

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As *kitten* up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and *kitten* things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that *kitten* seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As *kitten* up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and *kitten* things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!

And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As *kitten* up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry

It's Been Awhile....Staind

Shells, I didn't know it was Disturbed that did the remake of Sound of Silence. They really made it work.

Cerealsensei

He told me he was pressured and was stressing out
And he usually makes music just to let it out
He asked his mom about it and she told him pray to God
She didn't notice that the faith was fading from his mind
He tries to ignore the stress that he endures
Try to find some liberation but the pains is indoors
He's feelin sore since the bills start coming
His stomach started rumbling, Pops calls it growing pains
Ask his friends about it but, they don't know the pain
They just tell him roll a blunt, try to smoke some hay
So he gets high hoping it will go away
But it doesn't, *kitten* is stuck is his head
Goes to sleep and the grief crawls up in his bed
Start tripping out thinking he should f*** with some meds
And he remembered what his grandpa said when he was young
So he looked to the sky, asking God how come?
I feel this pain time to time when I look in the mirror
And I realize, that guy's me trying to see clearer
So tell God I hear Him, and I know how to deal with it
Close my eyes till I find my spirit and just fly

Blu-Fly (Song Of Liberation)

This song reminds me that even when I feel lost that there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Two men were standing upon a bridge
One jumped and screamed "you lose"
And just left the odd man holding
Those late John Garfield blues...

Karb_Kween

"You're not alone below the moon
All of us wait, for moment's gone too soon
You and me, breathe, to ignore the reason
Freedom, scream again

Inside of me, doors will stay open
A thousand lives to live
Waiting like universes do without an end
Love break into my innocence
Innocence, innocence, innocence
Innocence, innocence."

I never knew I liked this song before Kesha did her tribute to Bob Dylan
https://youtu.be/UQkDWPFk6I8

Go 'way from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I will only let your down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you an' more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Go melt back into the night
Everything inside is made of stone
There's nothing in here moving
An' anyway I'm not alone
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call
A lover for you life an' nothing more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Another day in this carnival of souls
Another nights ends, end as quickly as it goes
The memories are shadows; ink on the page
And I can't seem to find my way home

If you waste your time a talking
To the people who don't listen
To the things that you are saying
Who do you thinks gonna hear?
And if you should die explaining how
The things that they complain about
Are things they could be changing
Who do you thinks gonna care?

But there ain't no doubt, I continue to be the doubted
But that's just motivating, so where would I be without it?
Cause the same people asking why you're doing it
Were asking how you did it
So *kitten* a critic, stay committed to your vision
They can't see it, it's yours
The top floor looks far when you can't get in the doors
But it's crazy what you can see with your eyes closed
I swear I stay on my grind mode

If I could make the world as pure
And strange as what I see
I'd put you in a mirror
I'd put in front of me
I'd put in front of me

Linger on your pale blue eyes...
