I don't have a favoite but here's a couple I really like:

Elizabeth
That thundercloud is creeping up the Empire Hill
There's shadows on the overpass
And puddles in the old dirt path

Peoria
Lay silent still in the belly of the overgrown
All quiet on the open plain
Footprints to the family plot

Where evermore will restless sorrow sleep
In a broken heap

Cemetery Guns go bang bang bang
Shooting all the sky full of holes
Twenty-one times in row
For the blue war widow in the gray raincoat
On the green grass down below

Cemetery Guns by Fountains of Wayne

And:

Yeah we all have our big ugly egos
to live for;
And to trip over…

And we all keep a face in a jar
by the door;
To hide the bruises….

And we all have a chip on our shoulder,
that weighs like a boulder;
Like a stone…

And we all have a God
with the words of wisdom we ignore;
Regretfully so….

You may be right;
I may just be ordinary.
But I hope you’re wrong;
So I’ll scratch, and I’ll scream;

But I won’t be ordinary… No.


And we all wake up scared
from our tarred and feathered dreams;
Beautiful nightmares.

And we all come out brave,
from a Superman experience;
Heroes in the mirrors in our rooms.

And we all have those days
When we’re bad, bad people;
So, so evil…

And we all have those days
When we save somebody’s life.
And never know it.

You may never know it.

You may be right;
I may just be ordinary.
But I hope you’re wrong;
So I’ll scratch, and I’ll scream;

But I won’t be ordinary… No.

"In My Daughter's Eyes"

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daugter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

ranewell

Odd one, you're never alone
I'm here and I will reflect you
Both of us basically
Unattached to anything or anyone unless we're pretending
You live your life in your head
Some call it imagination
I'd rather focus instead on anything except
What I'm feeling
What I'm feeling
Odd one....

Chorus

Hey, it's gonna be okay
Hey, we're gonna laugh at this one day

Verse 2

Odd one, I wish I was you
You're never concerned with acceptance
We are all desperately seeking out, and fitting with anyone
Who will accept us
But not you, odd one

Chorus - Breakdown

Hey, It's gonna be okay
Hey, gonna laugh at this one day

Outro
Don't let someone tell you you're no-one
Don't let someone tell you you're no-one
Odd one...

But we're gonna stop by drinking our cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night, saying things we haven't for a while, a while, yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears, even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time

the script

AmberMagdalena

I embrace my desire to...
feel the rhythm,
to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow,
to feel inspired,
to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty,
to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral,
to swing on the spiral,
to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

Tool- Lateralus


AND

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember; we are eternal,
all this pain is an illusion

Tool-Parabola


Those lyrics always inspire me!

You know the night's magic, seems to whisper and hush
While the soft moonlight, seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moon dance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
One more moon dance
In the moonlight
On a magic night. - Van Morrison, Moondance

Love this song. And "together we will float into the mystic" love that one too.

You don’t know what the struggles for,
Falling down ain’t falling down if you don’t cry when you hit the floor,
It’s called a past,
because I’m getting past,
and I ain’t nothing like I was before,
You oughtta see me now.
- Alicia Keys

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
- Oasis

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face
And nobody's gonna bring me down today
Been feeling like nothings been going my way lately
But I decided right here and now that my outlooks gonna change
That's why I'm gonna
Say goodbye to all the tears I've cried
And everytime somebody hurt my pride
Feeling like they won't let me live life
And take the time to look at what is mine
I see every lesson so clearly
I thank God for what I got from above
I believe they can take anything from me
But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me
They can say all they wanna say about me
But I'm gonna carry on
I'm gon keep on singing my song
- Christina Aguilera

I wanna have pride like my mother has,
And not like the kind in the bible that turns you bad.
And I wanna have friends that I can trust,
that love me for the man I’ve become and not the man that I was.

The Avett Brothers (The Perfect Space)

(After all you put me through
You'd think I'd despise you
But in the end, I wanna thank you
'Cause you made me that much stronger)

Well I thought I knew you,
Thinking that you were true
Guess I, I couldn't trust,
Called your bluff, time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were there, by my side,
Always down for the ride
But your joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out in shame, mhm

After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know, just how capable
I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, yeah, oh

Never saw it coming,
All of your backstabbing
Just so you could cash in
On a good thing before I'd realized your game
I heard you're going 'round
Playin' the victim now
But don't even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave, mm

After all of the fights and the lies
Guess you're wanting to haunt me
But that won't work anymore
No more, uh uh, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now
And never back down
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust, so cruel?
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies,
Disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
You won't stop me

I am a fighter and I
(I'm a fighter)
I ain't gonna stop
(I ain't gonna stop)
There is no turning back
I've had enough

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Thought I would forget, but I
I remember
Yes, I remember
I remember

Thought I would forget
I remember
Yes, I remember
I'll remember

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

I like to live the love that I sing about in my song....B.B. King!

"But every time it rains,
You're here in my head,
Like the sun coming out--
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen.
And I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen."

Cloudbusting by Kate Bush

"I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am"

Birdhouse in your Soul by They Might Be Giants

...and last but definitely not least...

"Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We’ll find a place together
In the water where I centre my emotion
All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my zephyr
We’ll find a place together"

The Zephyr Song - RHCP

From the Headstones, 'Above Ground Swimming Pools'

I don't mind lulls in the coversation,
I don't dislike an uncomfortable pause
An awkward moment is to be savoured
Not unlike obscene telephone calls

I don't mind a few giant cliches
There's nothing wrong with a little braggin'
I don't despise grandiose displays
Outlandish disguises we can hide in

I don't mind holes punched in the drywall
I see no reason not to park on the front lawn
And I approve of above-ground swimming pools
And staying up until a half-hour past dawn.

From the Mountain Goats' 'Up The Wolves'

I'm going to get myself in fighting trim
Scope out every angle of unfair advantage
I'm gonna bribe the officials
I'm gonna kill all the judges
It's gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage

Evolution is an imperfect and often violent process. A battle between what exists, and what is yet to be born. In the midst of these birth pains, morality loses its meaning. The question of good and evil reduced to one simple choice: survive, or perish

I love that one too - but mainly due to the last part (the one I added)

Well, I will provide for you and I'll stand by your side
You'll need a good companion now for this part of the ride
Yeah, leave behind your sorrows, let this day be the last
Well, tomorrow there'll be sunshine and all this darkness past"

'And this is my beautiful life
The only thing certain is everything changes
Lows and the highs
And all those goodbyes
As hard as it gets I know it's still amazing
To be alive
It's a beautiful life'

secrets_out

well, maybe there's a god above but all i've ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you it's not a cry that you hear at night it's not somebody who's seen the light it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Tonight by Toby Mac :

Hey!
Everytime I try to go in alone I get shut down,
Locked up and held captive in the clutches of my down
We go back, we go forth,
We go back
I'm sick with vertigo
Weary of my ways, my days
My absent flow so
I wanna feel a new day
There's gotta be more than this
I wanna live a new way
There's gotta be more
I wanna feel a new day
There's gotta be more than this
I wanna live a new way
There's just gotta be more



So let us seize this night
Let us make our day
It's on like the break of dawn
cmon ready let us
seize this night
Let us make our day
It's on like the break of da-a-a-a-wn


:happy: Very motivational to me.

This song by the Warped 45s has possibly the most well-written lyrics I've ever encountered

The Grime of Earthly Glory

The remnants of my healthy conscience will be rooted out and banished
My mortal coil be addled and my better sense departed
I will find the gilded palace and I will bask there unabated
my every wish and whim will be mollified and sated
I will savour and devour by the night and by the hour
by the bottle and the platter like tomorrow doesn't matter

Cover me in the grime of earthly glory
and I will not be ashamed

With success of my foundation
The very cornerstone of creation
The spoiling of the body and the squalor of the spirit
By indulging every vice and vanity until I question my own sanity
I'll revel in the empty victory, my every grandeur wasteful
I will gorge until I am bloated on all the richest dishes
Of the women of the fields and of the gutters and the ditches
Guilt will be ignored, never want too much for remorse
I'll be coddled, calmed and pampered
Give me more and more and more...
