    The song which really hits home to me and gets me fired up is Eminem’s one shot

    You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
    This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better
    No more games, I'm a change what you call rage
    Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
    I was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed
    I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage...
    Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail I've got
    To formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
    Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failures not
    Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go, I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
    So here I go is my shot
    Feet fail me not 'cause maybe the only opportunity that I got
    You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
    You own it, you better never let it go
    You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
    This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better

    Eminem is a gem.

    You've got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
    When I was down you just stood there grinning.
    You got a lotta nerve to say you've got a helping hand to lend
    You just want to be on the side that's winning.
    You say I let you down you know it's not like that
    If you're so hurt why then don't you show it.
    You say you've lost you faith but that's not where it's at
    You had no faith to lose and you know it.
    I know the reason that you talk behind my back
    I used to be among the crowd you're in with.
    Do you take me for such a fool to think I'd make contact
    With the one who tries to hide what he don't know to begin with.
    You see me on the street you always act surprised
    You say, "How are you?" "Good luck" but you don't mean it.
    When you now as well as me you'd rather see me paralyzed
    Why don't you just come out once and scream it.
    No, I do not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace
    If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them.
    And I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place
    Don't you understand it's not my problem.
    I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
    And just for that one moment I could be you.
    Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
    You'd know what a drag it is to see you.

    Bury all your secrets in my skin
    Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
    The air around me still feels like a cage
    And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again
    So if you love me let me go
    And run away before I know
    My heart is just too dark to care
    I can't destroy what isn't there
    Deliver me into my fate
    If I'm alone I cannot hate
    I don't deserve to have you
    Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
    If I can change I hope I never know
    I still press your letters to my lips
    And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
    I couldn't face a life without your lights
    But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight
    So save your breath, I will not care
    I think I made it very clear
    You couldn't hate enough to love
    Is that supposed to be enough?
    I only wish you weren't my friend
    Then I could hurt you in the end
    I never claimed to be a saint
    Ooh, my own was banished long ago
    It took the death of hope to let you go
    So break yourself against my stones
    And spit your pity in my soul
    You never needed any help
    You sold me out to save yourself
    And I won't listen to your shame
    You ran away, you're all the same
    Angels lie to keep control
    Ooh, my love was punished long ago
    If you still care don't ever let me know
    If you still care don't ever let me know

    This is my freaking song. Not uncommon for tears to come when I play it...

    I hurt myself today
    To see if I still feel
    I focus on the pain
    The only thing that's real
    The needle tears a hole
    The old familiar sting
    Try to kill it all away
    But I remember everything

    What have I become
    My sweetest friend
    Everyone I know goes away
    In the end
    And you could have it all
    My empire of dirt
    I will let you down
    I will make you hurt

    I wear this crown of thorns
    Upon my liar's chair
    Full of broken thoughts
    I cannot repair
    Beneath the stains of time
    The feelings disappear
    You are someone else
    I am still right here

    What have I become
    My sweetest friend
    Everyone I know goes away
    In the end
    And you could have it all
    My empire of dirt
    I will let you down
    I will make you hurt

    If I could start again
    A million miles away
    I would keep myself
    I would find a way

    That’s a damn good one too... NIN or Johnny Cash’ version?

    Some im not familiar with...you can post name song etc
    this one is a killer Gravity by Sara B .....try listen to it with the pain etc (ouch)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEXhAMtbaec

    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 long

    "Nobody's Perfect"

    When I'm nervous I have this thing, yeah, I talk too much
    Sometimes I just can't shut the hell up
    It's like I need to tell someone, anyone who'll listen
    And that's where I seem to *kitten* up

    Yeah, I forget about the consequences
    For a minute there I lose my senses
    And in the heat of the moment my mouth starts going
    The words start flowing, oh

    But I never meant to hurt you
    I know it's time that I learnt to
    Treat the people I love like I wanna be loved
    This is a lesson learnt

    I hate that I let you down
    And I feel so bad about it
    I guess karma comes back around
    'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah
    And I hate that I made you think
    That the trust we have is broken
    Don't tell me you can't forgive me
    'Cause nobody's perfect
    No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nobody's perfect, no

    If I could turn back the hands of time
    I swear I never would have crossed that line
    I should have kept it between us
    But, no, I went and told the whole world how I'm feeling, oh

    So I sit and I realize
    With these tears falling from my eyes
    I gotta change if I wanna keep you forever
    I promise that I'm gonna try

    But I never meant to hurt you
    I know it's time that I learnt to
    Treat the people I love like I wanna be loved
    This is a lesson learnt

    I hate that I let you down
    And I feel so bad about it
    I guess karma comes back around
    'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah
    And I hate that I made you think
    That the trust we have is broken
    So don't tell me you can't forgive me
    'Cause nobody's perfect
    No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nobody's perfect

    I'm not a saint, no, not at all, but what I did, it wasn't cool
    But I swear that I'll never do that again to you, oh
    I'm not a saint, no, not at all, but what I did, it wasn't cool
    But I swear that I'll never do that again to you, yeah

    I hate that I let you down
    And I feel so bad about it
    I guess karma comes back around
    'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah
    And I hate that I made you think
    That the trust we have is broken
    So don't tell me you can't forgive me
    'Cause nobody's perfect, no

    And I hate that I let you down
    And I feel so bad about it
    I guess karma comes back around
    'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah
    And I hate that I made you think
    That the trust we have is broken
    Don't tell me you can't forgive me
    'Cause nobody's perfect, yeah, yeah, whoa

    Don't tell me, don't tell
    Don't tell me you can't forgive me
    No, no, no, no
    'Cause nobody's perfect, no

    If You Could Read My Mind

    “If you could read my mind, love
    What a tale my thoughts could tell
    Just like an old time movie
    'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
    In a castle dark or a fortress strong
    With chains upon my feet
    You know that ghost is me
    And I will never be set free
    As long as I am a ghost, you can't see”
