    (So apropos:
    Saw death on a sunny snow)

    "For every life..."

    "Forgo the parable."

    "Seek the light."

    "...My knees are cold."

    (Running home, running home, running home, running home...)

    "Go find another lover;
    To bring a... to string along!"
    "With all your lies
    You're still very lovable."

    "I toured the light; so many foreign roads for Emma, forever ago."

    Judas
    Lady Gaga

    I wanna love you
    But something's pulling me away from you
    Jesus is my virtue
    Judas is the demon I cling to
    I cling to

    I'm just a holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel
    But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
    I'm just a holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel
    But I'm still in love with Judas, baby

    I couldn't love a man so purely
    Even darkness forgave his crooked way
    I've learned love is like a brick, you can
    Build a house or sink a dead body
    I'll bring him down, bring him down, down
    A king with no crown, king with no crown

    When he comes to me, I am ready
    I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs
    Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain
    Even after three times, he betrays me
    I'll bring him down, a king with no crown

    I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby he's so cruel
    But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
    In the most Biblical sense, I am beyond repentance
    Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind
    But in the cultural sense I just speak in future tense
    Judas kiss me if offensed
    Or wear an ear condom next time

    "I read the stories, see the photographs, world's in a crazy space
    I got to hold on to my dreams, there's just no other place
    I believe... we can change anything
    I believe... there's a reason for everything
    And I believe in my dreams."
    - Joe Satriani, "I Believe"

    "If the future's looking dark
    We're the ones who have to shine
    If there's no one in control
    We're the ones who draw the line
    Though we live in trying times -
    We're the ones who have to try
    Though we know that time has wings -
    We're the ones who have to fly."
    - Rush, "Everyday Glory"

    "All of us get lost in the darkness
    Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
    All of us do time in the gutter
    Dreamers turn to look at the cars."
    - Rush, "The Pass"

    "Sometimes it's hard to find a friendly face
    Feel like a stranger to the human race
    It's such a lonely, lonely place."
    - Richie Sambora, "Stranger in This Town"

    "I'm sorry I don't hate the world
    I'm afraid that I'm not disturbed
    I'm sorry that I don't do drugs, I hope you understand
    I can't talk about my life in hell
    Or a suicide attempt that didn't go well
    No life of crime, no misery, what you see is what you get."
    - Thunder, "Preaching From a Chair"

    "I never. I never. I never. I never." - The Killers.

    "She's a super freak." - Rick James.



    But in all seriousness, I love John Lennon, so pretty much the whole song 'Imagine'. Also, 'Hurt'. I like both versions.

    For King & Country
    Proof of Your Love

    If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.

    If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing.

    If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.

    "You'll find that it's never any time for babes and wine
    You lie, you never ever change and say bye-bye

    You should turn back now
    You're only crying just because
    There's no returnal
    And all this lying has to stop
    (What are you talking about?)

    I'll never coincide if the chemistry is right
    Oh, babe do you see the love there
    I like to watch you run, but I'll never touch your bum
    Oh babe, do you see the light of day?
    You should turn back now, you're only crying just because
    There's no returnal"

    You are calm and reposed.
    Let your beauty unfold.
    Pale white like the skin stretched over your bones.
    Spring keeps you ever close.
    You are second hand smoke.
    You are so fragile and thin, standing trial for your sins.
    Holding on to yourself the best you can.
    You are the smell before rain.
    You are the blood in my veins.

    (Brand New; "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot")

    Tell me pretty lies,
    Look me in the face,
    Tell me that you love me,
    Even if it's fake,
    'Cause I don't *kitten* care, at all

    No I'm not tryin' to be rude,
    But hey pretty girl I'm feelin' you
    The way you do the things you do
    Remind me of my Lexus coup

    How appropriate these lyrics are!

    "Heartbreaker"

    Your love is like a tidal wave, spinning over my head
    Drownin' me in your promises, better left unsaid
    You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
    The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be

    You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
    Don't you mess around with me
    You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
    Don't you mess around, no, no, no

    Your love has set my soul on fire, burnin' out of control
    You taught me the ways of desire, now it's takin' its toll
    You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
    The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be

    You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
    Don't you mess around with me
    You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
    Don't you mess around, no, no, no

    You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
    The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be

    You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
    Don't you mess around with me
    You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
    Don't you mess around with me

    You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
    Don't you mess around with me
    You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
    Heartbreaker

    In the land of gods and monsters,
    I was an angel.
    Living in the garden of evil,
    Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed.
    Shining like a fiery beacon,
    You got that medicine I need
    Fame, liquor, love, give it to me slowly.
    Put your hands on my waist, do it softly.
    Me and God we don’t get along, so now I sing.
    No one’s gonna take my soul away,
    Living like Jim Morrison.
    Headed towards a *kitten* up holiday.
    Motel, sprees, sprees, and I’m singing,
    *kitten* yeah give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want
    It's innocence lost.
    Innocence lost.
    In the land of gods and monsters,
    I was an angel, lookin' to get *kitten* hard.
    Like a groupie incognito posing as a real singer,
    Life imitates art
    You got that medicine I need
    Dope, shoot it up straight to the heart please
    I don't really wanna know what's good for me
    God's dead, I said 'baby that's alright with me'.
    No one’s gonna take my soul away,
    Living like Jim Morrison.
    Headed towards a *kitten* up holiday.
    Motel, sprees, sprees, and I’m singing,
    *kitten* yeah give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want
    It's innocence lost.
    Innocence lost.
    When you talk it's like a movie and you're making me crazy,
    'Cause life imitates art.
    If I get a little prettier, can I be your baby?
    You tell me life isn't that hard.
    No one’s gonna take my soul away,
    I'm living like Jim Morrison.
    Headed towards a *kitten* up holiday.
    Motel, sprees, sprees, and I’m singing,
    *kitten* yeah, give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want.
    It's innocence lost.
    Innocence lost.

    A corner office was his dream
    More like a prison now it seems
    Somewhere on the corporate climb
    He left his warrior behind
    Now he's just a worker at a daily grind
    Steals his years and numbs his mind
    His strength is fading, his dreams are blind
    This is not the life he had in mind

    She lies awake 'cause he's up all night
    Staring at a screen that tells him lies
    That the grass is greener on the other side
    So she's at the gym fighting off the years
    To be young again and calm her fears
    That she'll never be enough for him
    Just as a young man catches her eye

    Now they're trapped in their own worlds, in their own wars
    With their cell phones and the closed doors
    It's funny how quiet and peaceful that it seems
    But they're all alone together
    In the house of their dreams

    [Music video spoken introduction:]
    I was in the winter of my life, and the men I met along the road were my only summer.
    At night I fell asleep with visions of myself, dancing and laughing and crying with them.
    Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour, and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me, and my only real happy times.
    I was a singer - not a very popular one,
    I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet, but upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken.
    But I didn't really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted, and then losing it to know what true freedom is.
    When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I'd been living, they asked me why - but there's no use in talking to people who have home.
    They have no idea what it's like to seek safety in other people - for home to be wherever you lay your head.
    I was always an unusual girl.
    My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean...
    And if I said I didn't plan for it to turn out this way I'd be lying...
    Because I was born to be the other woman.
    Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone.
    Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn't even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.

    I've been out on that open road
    You can be my full time daddy,
    White and gold
    Singing blues has been getting old
    You can be my full time baby,
    Hot or cold

    Don't break me down
    I've been travelin' too long
    I've been trying too hard
    With one pretty song

    I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
    I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
    Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
    But I, I've got a war in my mind
    So, I just ride, just ride,
    I just ride, just ride

    Dying young and I'm playing hard
    That's the way my father made his life an art
    Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
    That's the way the road dogs do it – ride 'til dark.

    Don't leave me now
    Don't say good bye
    Don't turn around
    Leave me high and dry

    I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
    I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
    Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
    But I, I've got a war in my mind
    I just ride, just ride,
    I just ride, just ride

    I'm tired of feeling like I'm *kitten* crazy
    I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
    It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby
    So I just ride, I just ride

    I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
    I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
    Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
    But I, I've got a war in my mind
    I just ride, just ride,
    I just ride, I just ride

    [Music video spoken ending:]
    Every night I used to pray that I'd find my people, and finally I did on the open road.
    We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore, except to make our lives into a work of art.
    Live fast. Die young. Be wild. And have fun.
    I believe in the country America used to be.
    I believe in the person I want to become.
    I believe in the freedom of the open road.
    And my motto is the same as ever:
    "I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I'm at war with myself I ride, I just ride."
    Who are you?
    Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies?
    Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them?
    I have. I am *kitten* crazy.
    But I am free.

    Blue October, Fear


    Today
    I don't have to fall apart
    I don't have to be afraid
    I don't have to let the damage
    Consume me,
    My shadow see through me
    'Cause fear in itself
    Will reel you in and spit you out
    Over and over again
    Believe in yourself
    And you will walk
    Now, fear in itself
    Will use you up and break you down
    Like you were never enough
    Yeah, I used to fall, now I get back up
    I'm up here
    I'm looking at the way down there
    I'm staring through the I don't care
    It's staring back at me
    The beauty is
    I'm learning how to face my beast
    Starting now to find some peace
    Set myself free, yeah

    I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
    All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
    Dust in the wind
    All they are is dust in the wind

    Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
    All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
    Dust in the wind
    All we are is dust in the wind

    Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
    It slips away
    And all your money won't another minute buy
    Dust in the wind
    All we are is dust in the wind

    [Verse 1]
    I was wayward child
    With the weight of the world
    That I held deep inside
    Life was a winding road
    And I learned many things
    Little ones shouldn't know

    [Chorus]
    But I closed my eyes
    Steadied my feet on the ground
    Raised my head to the sky
    And though time's rolled by
    Still I feel like a child
    As I look at the moon
    Maybe I grew up a little too soon

    [Verse 2]
    Funny how one can learn
    To grow numb to the madness
    And block it away
    I left the worst unsaid
    Let it all dissipate
    And I try to forget

    [Chorus]
    As I closed my eyes
    Steadied my feet on the ground
    Raised my head to the sky
    And though time rolled by
    Still I feel like a child
    As I look at the moon
    Maybe I grew up a little too soon

    [Bridge]
    Nearing the edge
    Obvious I almost fell right over
    A part of me will never be quite able to feel stable
    That woman-child falling inside
    Was on the verge of fading
    Thankfully I woke up in time, time, time

    [Verse 3]
    Guardian angel, I
    Sail away on an ocean
    With you by my side
    Orange clouds roll by
    They burn into your image
    And you're still alive
    (You're always alive)

    [Chorus]
    As I closed my eyes (closed my eyes)
    Steadied my feet on the ground
    Raised my head to the sky
    And though time rolled by
    Still I feel like a child
    As I look at the moon
    Maybe I grew up a little too soon
