I'm fifteen for a moment
Caught in between ten and twenty
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm twenty two for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
Fifteen there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live
I'm thirty three for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm of age
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm forty five for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
Fifteen there's still time for you
Time to buy, time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
Fifteen I'm all right with you
Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
Sixty seven is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on
I'm ninety nine for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
Fifteen there's still time for you
Twenty two I feel her too
Thirty three you're on your way
Every day's a new day
Fifteen there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey fifteen, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live

Ramblers in the wilderness we can’t find what we need
We get a little restless from the searching
Get a little worn down in between
Like a bull chasing the matador is the man left to his own schemes
Everybody needs someone beside em’ shining like a lighthouse from the sea
Brother let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you’re low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Face down in the desert now there’s a cage locked around my heart
I found a way to drop the keys where my failures were
Now my hands can’t reach that far
I ain’t made for a rivalry, I could never take the world alone
I know that in my weakness I am strong
But it’s your love that brings me home
Brother let me be your shelter
I’ll never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you’re low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
And when you call
And need me near
Sayin' where'd you go?
Brother, I’m right here
And on those days
When the sky begins to fall
You’re the blood of my blood
We can get through it all
Brother let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you’re feelin' low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Brother let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you’re low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home

I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
Turning on the world, the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
Coming close together
With a feeling that I'd never known before in my time
She ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind
But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I"ve been
Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying
Talking of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend

Hello It's Me
Todd Rundgren
Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine
Seeing you, or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through
It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should
It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should

Elliott Smith - King’s Crossing
King’s Crossing
Elliott Smith
The big problem is the main attraction
Dominoes are falling in a chain reaction
The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
Whiskey works better than beer
The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final
And nobody gets a reprieve
And every wave is tidal - if you hang around
You're going to get wet
I can't prepare for death any more than I already have
All you can do now is watch the shells
The game looks easy that's why it sells
Frustrated fireworks inside your head
Are going to stand and deliver talk instead
The method acting that pays my bills
Keeps the fat man feeding in beverly hills
I got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity
And I get my check from the trash treasury
'Cause I took my own insides out
It don't matter 'cause I had no sex life
All I want to do now is inject my ex wife
I've seen the movie and I know what happens
It's a Christmas time
And the needles on the tree
A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
His voice is overwhelming, but his speech is slurred
And I only understand every other word
"Open your parachute and grab your gun
Falling down like an omen, a setting sun
Read the part and we turn out fine
It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
But I don't care if I *kitten* up
I'm going on a date with a rich white lady
Ain't life great?
Give me one good reason not to do it
This is a place where time reverses
Dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
Instruments shine on a silver tray
Don't let me be carried away
Don't let me be carried away
Don't let me be carried away1 -

oh he had some winners
i really like “i’m taking the cure so i can be quiet
whenever i want, so leave me alone
u ought to be proud that i’m getting good marks”
mostly because of that snake hiss delivery at the end of the markssssss
To me, that song was his magnum opus. I adore all his art tho.
He was the definition of tormented artist. It’s not like I knew him but it’s so sad that he never really found his inner peace. Rest in.. Peace, man.

I'm sorry for the Demon I've become
You should be sorry for the angel you are not
I apologize for the cruel things that I did
But I don't regret one single word I said
Just walk away
Make it easy on yourself
Just walk away
Please release me from this hell
Just walk away
There's just nothing left to feel
Just walk away
Pretend that none of this is real
Would you forgive me
If I told you that I cared
Would you be sorry
If I swore that I'd be there
Please forgive me
For laughing when you fall
I'm so sorry
But I never cared at all

Going back a few years ....
Hold on Loosely
38 Special
You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago (Who told me)
Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling to tightly
You're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
It's so damn easy, when your feelings are such
To overprotect her, to love her too much
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago (Who told me)
Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tight babe
You're gonna loose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
Don't let her slip away
Sentimental fool
Don't let your heart get in her way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had
Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling to tightly
You're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tight babe
You're gonna lose it
You're gonna, lose control
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tight babe
You're gonna loose control
Hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
You're gonna loose control
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Old Heart Falls by Katatonia--I dunno, this one has always really resonated with me since I first heard it a few years ago. I listen to a lot of music, it's very important to me, but generally lyrics are the last thing that I hear. I had to look these up early tho, cause this is just one of those songs that calls to me every time I hear it
The weighted clouds coming by
Has me looking
Right here under the sky
And I left my home
Passed the evening fires
In the blink of an eye
I had closed the door behind me
The vapor of old love
Will transfigure through a veil of clarity
I sense my grave way below the mire
Sorrow will find you
Its voice has given way to mine
Heart pumps death into our heredity
Who wants to come with me
For every dream that is left behind me
I take a bow
With every war that will rage inside me
I hear the sound
Of another day in this vanishing life
Returned to dust
And every chance I've pushed away
Into the night
Time won't let go
It's got you in debt now
But it's got me crawling
All the way back to the start
I swear that I saw you there
Your hands were reaching out for mine
Sorrow will find you
For every dream that is left behind me
I take a bow
With every war that will rage inside me
I hear the sound
Of another day in this vanishing life
Returned to dust
And every chance I've pushed away
Into the night
I sense my grave way below the mire0 -
Ok, so there's this very policitally incorrect musical called Avenue Q that includes songs with the titles Everyone's a Little Bit Racist and The Internet is for Porn. There's this one song that always gets me called I Wish I Could Go Back to College. The bolded line is what always gets me:
(The characters are supposed to be in their early 20s I think so the last line just makes me wanna flick it away.)
KATE MONSTER:
I wish I could go back to college.
Life was so simple back then.
NICKY:
What would I give to go back and live in a dorm with a meal plan again!
PRINCETON:
I wish I could go back to college.
In college you know who you are.
You sit in the quad, and think, "Oh my God!
I am totally gonna go far!"
ALL:
How do I go back to college?
I don't know who I am anymore!
PRINCETON:
I wanna go back to my room and find a message in dry-erase pen on the door!
Ohhh...
I wish I could just drop a class...
NICKY:
Or get into a play...
KATE MONSTER:
Or change my major...
PRINCETON:
Or *kitten* my T.A.
ALL:
I need an academic advisor to point the way!
We could be...
Sitting in the computer lab,
4 A.M. before the final paper is due,
Cursing the world 'cause I didn't start sooner,
And seeing the rest of the class there, too!
PRINCETON:
I wish I could go back to college!
ALL:
How do I go back to college?!
AHHHH...
PRINCETON:
I wish I had taken more pictures.
NICKY:
But if I were to go back to college,
Think what a loser I'd be-
I'd walk through the quad,
And think "Oh my God..."
ALL:
"These kids are so much younger than me."0 -

This one hits me in the feels, reminds me of some tough times
One More Goodbye - Pop Evil
I thought you'd always be there,
Always be there waiting
Everything we sacrificed, you threw away
Now I'm prepared to walk,
Too tired, too numb to talk
Every step I take, can't hid the pain
What we had, it's over
I don't wanna see - I don't wanna speak,
I don't wanna hear - Your lies
I don't understand and I don't even care,
'Cause it's over
I send you
One more goodbye
(This is our last goodbye)
This is the last letter I write
One more goodbye
You can forget about it
You can just forget about
What we had
As I lay here in this candle lit room,
Reminiscing about those what could have beens
And will never b's now
I am tattered, torn, and bruised, alone
Heart broke, and used
But you'll never bury me with your shattered
Dreams and your never afters
I don't wanna see - I don't wanna speak,
I don't wanna hear - Your lies
I don't understand and I don't even care,
'Cause it's over
I send you
One more goodbye
(This is our last goodbye)
This is the last letter I write
One more goodbye
You can forget about it
You can just forget about it
Let me tell you a story about a man
Who's falling down
And how he fell form glory on his own
Let me tell you a story about a man who's in between
In the end, we stand alone
One more goodbye
One more goodbye
(This is our last goodbye)
This is the last letter I write
One more goodbye
You can forget about it
You can just forget about
One more goodbye
(This is our last goodbye)
One more goodbye
(This is our last goodbye)
One more goodbye
You can forget about it
You can just forget about what we had

Daughter of Hate, by Amorphis
She spoke to me, approaching me
On a road so dark and dreary
Her black halo walked by me
Disappearing so far behind
She travelled not alone
An old wife followed on her side
And snakes crawled behind her steps
And crows circled overhead
Time and again they come to me
In the darkness of the night
And the raven-haired girl
Whispers her listless words
"Do not look at me
I am the daughter of hate
You must not see me
Never touch my heart
Never"
The words of raven-haired girl
"Do not look at me
'Cause I'm the daughter of hate"
Each morn I swear, each day I pledge
Should we yet meet
On the road of dream
That we would look each other in the eye
Time and again they come to me
In the darkness of the night
And the raven-haired girl
Whispers her listless words
"Do not look at me
I am the daughter of hate
You must not see me
Never touch my heart
Never"
The words of raven-haired girl
"Do not look at me
'Cause I'm the daughter of hate"
First come the ravens, swirling overhead
Your words, the hiss of snake
The old wife is ever silent
Your words, the hiss of snake
Kun taivas taas on pimeä
Ja tuuli tuo askelten äänet
Odotan kuun alla
Vaanin varjojen välissä
Ensin tulivat korpit
Kieppuivat kulkueen yllä
Vanha vaimo on sanaton
Sinun sanasi käärmeen kuiskaus on
"Do not look at me
I am the daughter of hate
You must not see me
Never touch my heart
Never, never"
Your words, the hiss of snake
Whispered in my ear
The words of raven-haired girl
"Never, never
Do not look at me
'Cause I'm the daughter of hate"0 -
When a live wire lights little metal rail
Right when a marvel of engineering steered me clear in to the plight
Right before the bodegas open, after the peak of night before the paper's delivered
I sat on the corner and sparked a light
The same corner I perched when I zone dropped on the block first
At almost 5 o'clock watching for sun spots or store clerks
A lone spot, almost kinda like the zone was forgot
As if the grid had been reset and couldn't catch to the clock
Or the stoop was stuck in the past a half minute and I sat in it
With a loosie Newpy drift out of my lips, taste; half minted
[Verse 2]
And I felt like a hundred bucks in the pocket of a gambling lush
At a wondershowzen flow with the droids of destructo luck
Fugitoid on the run again, the sky gleamed the maroonist coloring
Layered against the bluest tone from where the thunder lived
And here I was directly under it
Like some dejected little grey they told to stay and wait for the mothership
A cotton ball in a blizzard of mischief or brain prison
With a thought that rode on the bus and came for conjugal visits
And *kitten* it's way into my grey matter, the tattered territory
Stayed chattering and nagging till it demanded it yell it for me
And I tried to hold the thing back but the meditation was otherly
Fixated on what a friend said and relating it to my struggling
"Metropoloid void so damn smothering"
But we were children of poisenville and saw the seduction less repugnant
And reserved the right as the triggerman with the back up plan of self destruction
And I touched the type of chemicals that could pull me towards that function
It's the stuff I find hard for discussion
How the *kitten* do you explain your own self destruction and still remain trusted?0 -
Got a bevy of imps to spit hatred
*kitten*'ll get in your head and cause panic
Have you desperately begging to get famous
Get your dignity dirty and left orphaned
Sanity on the fringe of distorted
Who are they to just take *kitten* and hoard it?
Who am I that I don't get my portion?
The most impressionable minds get molested
And informed by manipulating forces
Don't fret little man, don't cry
They can never take the energy inside you were born with
Knowing that, understand you could never be poor
You already won the war, you were born rich
You can only take the energy you had
Going back to the realm or the home where your lord is
Whoever whatever that lord is couldn't
Give a *kitten* if you ever made fortunes
*kitten* anyone ever trying to run that bum *kitten*
Send 'em to the flames where the orcs live
Them and the lost minds thinking they're smarter than us
Don't understand love's importance
And we can weaponize that, bring 'em back to the truth
Where the ashes and dust got formed in.0 -

It’s been almost four years now since I’ve last heard this song and almost three years since I last saw the person who sang it to me that one special night nearly five years ago, yet it still stings me. Not because I long for that person. It’s more so due to the fact that this song was the cornerstone to my realization that words without actions are worthless. Even if it feels so magical in the moment.2 -

Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do
I'll still feel you here 'till the moment I'm gone
You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love
And not feel your reign
Set me free, leave me be
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am, and I stand
So tall, just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me
Oh, you loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone
Set me free, leave me be
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am, and I stand
So tall, just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need here on the ground
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down, eh ooh
You're on to me, on to me, and all over
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long1 -

Does it diminish your super capacity to love?
Does it diminish your super capacity to love?
Walk like a matador, don't be chicken *kitten*
And turn breezes into rivulets
Flamenco sweep the air and weave the sun
And stamp your feet for everyone
Does it exhibit your natural tendency to hate?
Does it exhibit your natural tendency for hate?
Maybe a prostitute could teach you
How to take a compliment
Maybe I'll go to New York, I'll drag you there
You said, "No one drags me anywhere"
Does it diminish your super capacity to love?
Does it diminish your super capacity to love?
To love, to love, to love?0 -
I Used to Love Him by Lauryn Hill
As I look at what I've done
The type of life that I've lived
How many things I pray the father will forgive
One situation involved a young man
He was the ocean and I was the sand
He stole my heart like a thief in the night
Dulled my senses blurred my sight
I used to love him but now I don't
I used to love him but now I don't
I chose a road of passion and pain
Sacrificed too much and waited in vain
Gave up my power ceased being queen
Addicted to love like the drug of a fiend
Torn and confused wasted and used
Reached the crossroad which path would I choose
Stuck and frustrated I waited, debated
For something to happen that just wasn't fated
Thought what I wanted was something I needed
When momma said no I just should have heeded
Misled I bled till the poison was gone
And out of the darkness arrived the sweet dawn
I used to love him but now I don't
I used to love him but now I don't
Father you saved me and showed me that life
Was much more than being some foolish man's wife
Showed me that love was respect and devotion
Greater than planets deeper than oceans
My soul was weary but now it's replenished
Content because that part of my life is finished
I see him sometimes and the look in his eye
Is one of a man who's lost treasures untold
But my heart is gold I took back my soul
And totally let my creator control
The life which was his to begin with
I used to love him but now I don't

The clothesline of cold eyes
Is washing away the face before
Now tell me what's wrong you see everyone's gone
You gotta do your best to decorate this dying day
This dying day
All over a bowl of bitter beans
All over a bowl of bitter beans
And outside way, way up high I got a quarter moon mist
Hanging over me
And now, I want that rocking chair outta there
'Cause he's no longer living here
It's no longer needed here
All over a bowl of bitter beans
All over a bowl of bitter beans
And I got a corner store and that's all the more
For me to praise upon the holidays
And now I'll close my eyes really, really tight
And make you all go away,
I'll make you all go all go away
And I'll pull the trigger and make it all go away
And I'll make it all go away, I'll make it all go away0 -
One More Light - Linkin Park
Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored?
Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?
We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep
There are things that we can have, but can't keep
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
The reminders pull the floor from your feet
In the kitchen, one more chair than you need oh
And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair
Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Well I do

Someone Ate the Baby
Shel Silverstein
Someone ate the baby
It's rather sad to say
Someone ate the baby
So she won't be out to play
We'll never hear her whiny cry
Or have to feel if she is dry
We'll never hear her asking, "Why, why, why?"
Someone ate the baby
Someone ate the baby
It is absolutely clear
Someone ate the baby
'Cause baby isn't here
We'll give away her toys and clothes
And we'll never have to wipe her nose
Dad says, "Aah, that's the way it goes,
Someone ate the baby."
Someone ate the baby
What an awful thing to eat
Someone ate the baby
Though, though she wasn't very sweet
It was a heartless thing to do
The policemen haven't got a clue
I simply can't imagine who would go and *burp* eat the baby0 -
The House Where Nobody Lives
Tom Waits
There's a house on my block that's abandoned and cold
The folks moved out of it a long time ago
And they took all their things and they never came back
It looks like it's haunted with the windows all cracked
Everyone calls it the house
The house where nobody lives
Once it held laughter
Once it held dreams, did they throw it away, did they know what it means?
Did someone's heart break
Or did someone do somebody wrong?
Well, the paint is all cracked, it was peeled off of the wood
The papers were stacked on the porch where I stood
And the weeds had grown up just as high as the door
There were birds in the chimney and an old chest of drawers
Looks like no one will ever come back
To the house where nobody lives
Oh, and once it held laughter
Once it held dreams, did they throw it away, did they know what it means?
Did someone's heart break
Or did someone do somebody wrong?
So if you find someone
Someone to have, someone to hold, don't trade it for silver
Oh, don't trade it for gold
'Cause I have all of life's treasures and they're fine and they're good
They remind me that houses are just made of wood
What makes a house grand, oh, it ain't the roof or the doors
If there's love in a house, it's a palace for sure
But without love it ain't nothin' but a house
A house where nobody lives
But without love
It ain't nothin' but a house, a house where nobody lives1 -
"The Wall" by Kansas
I'm woven in a fantasy,
I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost
It rises now before me,
A dark and silent barrier between,
All I am, and all that I would ever want to be
It's just a travesty,
Towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit would erase
To pass beyond is what I seek,
I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side,
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece,
The weight of indecision's in the air
Standing there,
The symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty,
Towering, blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see
Gold and diamonds cast a spell,
It's not for me, I know it well
The riches that I seek are waiting on the other side
There's more than I can measure in the treasures of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me,
I must tear down the wall and let it be
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be,
In harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
There is no loss0 -
this is pretty awesome for inspiration

Any Road
A song by George Harrison (I believe it's from the last album he recorded before his death in 2001)
"Oh I've been traveling
on a boat and a plane
In a car on a bike
with a bus and a train
Traveling there and traveling here
Everywhere in every gear
But oh Lord we pay the price
with a Spin of a wheel
with the roll of a dice
Ah yeah you pay your fare
And if you don't know
where you're going
Any road will take you there
And I've been traveling
through the dirt and the grime
From the past to the future through the space and the time
Traveling deep
beneath the waves
In wattery grottoes
and mountainous caves
But oh Lord we've got to fight
With the thoughts in the head with the dark and the light
No use to stop and stare
And if you don't know
where you're going
Any road will take you there
You may not know
where you came from
May not know who you are
May not even wondered how
You got this far
I've been traveling
on a wing and a prayer
By the skin of my teeth
by the breadth of a hair
Traveling where the
four winds blow
With the sun on my face,
in the ice and the snow
But ooee it's a game
Sometimes you're cool, sometimes you're lame
Ah yea it's somewhere
And if you don't know
where you're going
Any road will take you there
But oh Lord we pay the price
With the spin of a wheel,
with the roll of a dice
Ah yea, you pay your fare
And if you don't know
where you're going
Any road will take you there
I keep traveling
around the bend
There was no beginning,
there is no end
It wasn't born and never dies
There are no edges,
there is no sides
Oh yea, you just don't win
It's so far out - the way out is in
Bow to God and call him Sir
But if you don't know
where you're going
Any road will take you there"0 -
Skin - Sixx: A.M.
Paint yourself a picture
Of what you wish you looked like
Maybe then they just might
Feel an ounce of your pain
Come into focus
Step out of the shadows
It's a losing battle
There's no need to be ashamed
'Cause they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart
Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you've got
That you are not your skin
Oh oh, oh oh
And when they start to judge you
Show them your true colors
And do on to others
As you'd have done to you
Just rise above this
Kill them with your kindness
Ignorance is blinded
They're the ones that stand to lose
'Cause they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart
Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you've got
That you are not your skin
Oh
Well they don't even know you
All they see is scars
And they don't see the angels
Living in your heart
So let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you've got
That you are not
You are not your skin
Oh oh, oh oh
