This is my power song, not to be confused with adrenaline song. Before entering any situation that has consequences, I would listen to this song to remind me the power to control my destiny was determined on the choices I made and not someone elses.

I sit at my table and wage war on myself
It seems like it's all, it's all for nothing
I know the barricades, and
I know the mortar in the wall breaks
I recognize the weapons, I used them well

This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down

I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses
I proclaim that claims are left unstated,
I demand a rematch
I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives
I recognize the weapons
I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself

(chorus)
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize, empathize
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down

Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory
Let my machine talk to me, let my machine talk to me

This is my world
And I am world leader pretend
This is my life
And this is my time
I have been given the freedom
To do as I see fit
It's high time I've razed the walls
That I've constructed

(repeat chorus)

You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony
You fill in the mortar. I raised the wall
And I'm the only one
I will be the one to knock it down

    Do your love me, or are you just extending goodwill ?
    Do you need me half as bad as you say, or are you just feeling guilt ?
    I've been burned before and I know the score
    So you won't hear me complain
    Will I be able to count on you
    Or is you love in vain ?

    Are you so fast that you cannot see that I must have solitude ?
    When I am in the darkness, why do you intrude ?
    Do you know my world, do you know my kind
    Or must I explain ?
    Will you let me be myself
    Or is you love in vain ?

    Well I've been to the mountain and I've been in the wind
    I've been in and out of happiness
    I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings
    And I've never been too impressed.

    All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
    If I'm a fool you can have the night, you can have the morning too
    Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow
    Do you understand my pain ?
    Are you willing to risk it all
    Or is you love in vain ?

    Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow
    Do you understand my pain ?
    Are you willing to risk it all
    Or is you love in vain ?

    ---Just a great song and a great statment.

    "I, I won't justify
    The way I live my life
    'Cause I'm the one livin' it
    Feelin' it, tastin' it
    And you're just wasting your time
    Trying to throw me a line
    When you're the one drowning
    I like where I'm at on my back
    Floating down in my own riptide
    The water is fine."

    Sick Puppies - Riptide.

    I believe that the lyrics are self explanatory. :smile:

    My self-pity song:

    Little bird
    Hoppin' on my porch
    I know it sounds kinda sad
    But what's it all for?
    Right now you're the only friend I have in the world
    And I just can't take how very much
    Goddamn
    I miss that girl

    Little bird
    You look all right
    I'm sure it's not easy
    Gettin' through your night
    So tell me this can't be how it's gonna end
    Tell me my heart
    Somehow
    Dear God
    Is gonna mend

    Little bird
    I guess you're right
    Can't let her take me out
    Without a fight
    But right now I can't see making sense of this world
    I just can't take how very much
    Goddamn
    I miss that girl

    Lyrics to Everytime : By Lustral

    Can you hear me,
    Talking in my mind.
    I can feel you,
    You're with me all the time.

    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face.
    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face

    There's a warm sky,
    covering the night.
    In the darkness,
    I only feel the light.
    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face.
    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face.
    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face.

    When I'm lonely,
    your voice is in my head.
    And my memory feeds my soul,
    with all the things you've said.

    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face.
    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face.

    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face.
    Can you hear me,
    Talking in my mind.
    I can feel you,
    You're with me all the time.

    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face.
    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face

    There's a warm sky,
    covering the night.
    In the darkness,
    I only feel the light.
    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face.
    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face.
    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face.

    When I'm lonely,
    your voice is in my head.
    And my memory feeds my soul,
    with all the things you've said.

    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face.
    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face.

    Everytime I close my eyes,
    I see your face.

    "The Family Ruin" -Oh! Sleeper

    She finds him by the fire,
    His clothes have got him dripping from his crimes.
    He beckons her, "Sweet daughter,"
    The voice that once avenged her younger life.

    He's got the voice of a con,
    The same one
    Who cut down in the name of his God,
    Who took on the robe of a judge,
    Without a license to kill without cause.
    He's not worth it.
    He's not worth it;
    He's not worth it.
    Remember what he did that made you question all the words he cited!

    From the book, the same book,
    That's reeling you home after so many years of silence.

    And the daughter watches father,
    As he sleeps and dreams, she brings the knife to light.
    'Cause she knows he can't go farther,
    And he'll never wake to see his daughter cry.

    Don't lose control or you will long
    To go back to this time and rewrite your thought.
    'Cause you're about to choose what's to come,
    So ironic, it's ironic, it's ironic that you're contemplating murder
    While I'm educating you in mercy!
    You say you want, you say you want,
    The means to believe, so don't change who you are,
    'Cause who you are is how I made you to discover me!

    The steel marries his skin.
    No, it's not worth it, it's not worth it.
    (I cut him down! I cut him down!)
    He didn't have to fall, it's your fault,
    It's your fault. You lost control,
    And now you long to go back and rewrite your thought.
    But I won't let you slip away.
    Not this time, not this time.
    This time you're gonna learn what it means to receive the very mercy
    That you denied when you denied
    The means to believe,
    I'll keep feeding you the proof that you need,
    But you spit it out to follow your doubt.

    And now he can't go farther,
    'Cause he'll never wake to see his daughter cry

    -The battles we deal with in life, inner struggles, spritual struggles..ect. Hope.

    Every time I do it makes me laugh
    How did our eyes get so red?
    And what the hell is on Joey's head?

    And this is where I grew up

    I think the present owner fixed it up

    I never knew we'd ever went without

    The second floor is hard for sneaking out


    And this is where I went to school

    Most of the time had better things to do

    Criminal record says I've broke in twice

    I must have done it half a dozen times


    I wonder if it's too late

    Should I go back and try to graduate?

    Life's better now than it was back then

    If I was them I wouldn't let me in


    Oh oh oh

    Oh God I


    Every memory of looking out the back door

    I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

    It's hard to say it, time to say it

    Goodbye, goodbye


    Every memory of walking out the front door

    I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

    It's hard to say it, time to say it

    Goodbye, goodbye

    Goodbye


    Remember the old arcade?

    Blew every dollar that we ever made

    The cops hated us hanging out

    They said somebody went and burned it down


    We used to listen to the radio

    And sing along with every song we know

    We said someday we'd find out how if feels

    To sing to more than just the steering wheel


    Kim's the first girl I kissed

    I was so nervous that I nearly missed

    She's had a couple of kids since then

    I haven't seen her since God knows when


    Oh oh oh

    Oh God I


    Every memory of looking out the back door

    I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

    It's hard to say it, time to say it

    Goodbye, goodbye


    Every memory of walking out the front door

    I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

    It's hard to say it, time to say it

    Goodbye, goodbye


    I miss that town

    I miss their faces

    You can't erase

    You can't replace it


    I miss it now

    I can't believe it

    So hard to stay

    Too hard to leave it


    If I could I relive those days

    I know the one thing that would never change


    Every memory of looking out the back door

    I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

    It's hard to say it, time to say it

    Goodbye, goodbye


    Every memory of walking out the front door

    I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

    It's hard to say it, time to say it

    Goodbye, goodbye


    Look at this photograph

    Every time I do it makes me laugh

    Every time I do it makes me


    It means most would say I have ****ty taste in music...
