    "Time and again I tell myself
    I'll stay clean tonight
    But the little green wheels are following me
    Oh, no, not again

    I'm stuck with a valuable friend
    "I'm happy. Hope you're happy, too."
    One flash of light
    But no smoking pistol

    I never done good things
    I never done bad things
    I never did anything out of the blue,
    Want an axe to break the ice
    Wanna come down right now

    Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
    We know Major Tom's a junkie
    Strung out in heaven's high
    Hitting an all-time low"
    ~David Bowie

    "Perfect imperfections", John Legend. I think we are all perfectly imperfect individuals. Perfection is an unobtainable goal because everyone's definition of perfection is different.

    I was lost and double crossed
    With my hands behind my back
    I was longtime hurt and thrown in the dirt
    Shoved out on the railroad track
    I've been used, abused and so confused
    And I had nowhere to run
    But I stood and looked
    And my eyes got hooked
    On that beautiful morning sun

    Brand New Day --Van Morrison

    But time makes you bolder

    I'm getting older too
    Oh I'm getting older too

  • "It's too late
    I found myself face down in the ditch
    Booze in my hair
    Blood on my lips
    A picture of you, holding a picture of me
    In the pocket of my blue jeans
    Still don't know what love means"

    Like when you fail to make the connection
    You know how vital it is
    Or when something slips through your fingers
    You know how precious it is
    And you reach the point when you know it's only your
    Second skin
    It's only your second skin.

    If I walk down this hallway tonight
    It's too quiet, so I pad through the dark
    And call you on the phone
    Push your old numbers and let your house ring
    Till I wake your ghost

    Let him walk down your hallway
    It's not this quiet, slide down your receiver
    Sprint across the wire
    Follow my number, slide into my hand

    It's the blaze across my nightgown
    It's the phone's ring

    I think last night
    You were driving circles around me

    Your Ghost

    I am a lone wolf
    A beauty and a beast
    Both hunter and hunted
    Soft tongue and sharp teeth
    I toned from my travels
    Yet raw from this road
    As I drink from storm puddles
    And the stories I'm told

    I have seen angels
    They were sleeping in gutters
    They were standing in bank lines
    They were jumping from towers
    They were calling like seagulls
    But nobody heard
    Such a beautiful message
    From such a common bird


    --Wendy McNeill, "Common Bird"

    "To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
    To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines
    We toss and turn but don't sleep
    Each breath we take makes us thieves
    Like causes without rebels
    Just talk but promise nothing else"

    Well I woke up this morning
    And I made a resolution
    I said:
    Never
    Going
    To sing
    Another
    Sad song
    Again

    This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
    Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name

    Teachers teach that knowledge waits

    Fear, Fear, she's the mother of Violence
    Don't make any sense to watch the way she breed
    Fear, she's the mother of Violence
    Making me tense to watch the way she feed
    Only way you know she's there
    Is a subtle flavour in the air
    Getting hard to breathe
    Hard to believe in anything at all
    But Fear

    Mother of Violence - Peter Gabriel

    Wish you were here."

    One more drink leads to another
    You slide up close to me
    Tear the t-shirts off each other
    Your hands all over me
    I tell myself I'm not in love
    But one more time is not enough
    One last kiss and then you're a goner
    And I'm here wishing you could stay a little longer

    Ocean's apart day after day
    And I slowly go insane

    Whatever you do
    I will be right here waiting for you

    Hanging by threads of palest silver
    I could have stayed that way forever
    Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight around me
    Nothing could ever seem to touch me
    I lose what I love most
    Did you know I was lost until you found me?
    Stroke of luck or gift from god?
    Hand of fate or devil's claws?
    From below or saints above
    You came to me
    Here comes the cold again
    I feel it closing in
    It's falling down and
    All around me
    Falling

    Pay no mind what other voices say 
    They don't care about you, like I do, like I do 
    Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils, 
    See, they don't give a f**k about you, like I do.
