    One of my favorites... "Stalling Out" by MuteMath

    Racing on a faultline
    Bracing for a landslide
    Conscious of every move getting harder
    Has the race gone underwater?

    I keep stalling out
    I just can't keep up
    There's alarming doubt
    Am I good enough?
    But you keep coming around
    To convince me
    It's still far from over...

    We could have had it all, Rolling in the deep, You had my heart inside your hand, And you played it to the beat

    Adele - Rolling in the deep

    (I guess I am having one of "those" days)

    It's a great song...these lyrics from that song have been resonating with me lately....

    Finally I can see you crystal clear
    Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
    See how I leave with every piece of you
    Don't underestimate the things that I will do

    Love it!

    She was an American girl raised on promises
    She couldn't help thinking that there was a little more to life somewhere else
    After all, it was a great big world with lots of places to run to
    And if she had to die tryin', she had one little promise she was gonna keep
    -- Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers "American Girl"

    I actually heard this for the first time tonight....and every since it's been burned in my brain.



    I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
    But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start

    You put your arms around me
    And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
    You put your arms around me and I'm home


    I hope that you see right through my walls
    I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
    I'll never let a love get so close
    You put your arms around me and I'm home

    Arms - Christina Perri

    When every wound has been re-opened
    And in this world of give and take, you must have faith
    And the distance to your dreams stretch beyond reach
    Don't lay down and die
    No

    Alterbridge - One Day Remains



    How many times have you looked
    At yourself and felt mistreated
    How does it feel to know that
    This life of yours is real
    All of your life you've been led
    To believe your nothin'
    So look at yourself and start to live again

    This is one of my favorite running songs (both for music and lyrics) - perfect for my little MFP adventure!

    Hey, don't write yourself off yet
    It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
    Just try your best, try everything you can.
    And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.

    It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
    Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

    Hey, you know they're all the same.
    You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
    Live right now.
    Yeah, just be yourself.
    It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.

    Me too. I swear there's a Petty song for whatever you're going through.

    wakin' up, feelin' good and limber
    when the telephone, it ring
    was a bad man from california
    tellin' of a stone he'd bring
    and of better days
    from this town, we'd escape

    -- My Morning Jacket "One Big Holiday"
  • When I'm tired and thinking cold
    I hide in my music, forget the day
    and dream of a girl I used to know
    I closed my eyes and she slipped away

    You know who it is.... ;-)

    I am neither walker nor sleeper
    I am neither sister brother son nor daughter
    Solely in my chest is my heart a drum of water

    The song that made the difference for me. I stumbled across this as I was looking at someone's before and after pics. They had them on a slideshow with this song playing in the background. I thought it summed up how I felt pretty well. Then I did some research and found out that the writer of the song (Natalie Grant) wrote it when she was struggling with bulemia. Look it up on youtube to hear it for a real blessing. I cried the first time I heard it. It's called The Real Me.

    Foolish heart looks like we're here again
    Same old game of plastic smile
    Don't let anybody in
    Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
    How much will they take before I'm empty
    Do I let it show, does anybody know?

    CHORUS:
    But You see the real me
    Hiding in my skin, broken from within
    Unveil me completely
    I'm loosening my grasp
    There's no need to mask my frailty
    Cause You see the real me

    Painted on, life is behind the mask
    Self-inflicted circus clown
    I'm tired of the song and dance
    Living a charade, always on parade
    What a mess I've made of my existence
    But you love me even now
    And still I see somehow

    CHORUS

    Wonderful, beautiful is what You see
    When You look at me
    You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into
    A perfect tapestry
    I just wanna be me

    CHORUS

    And You love me just as I am
    Wonderful, beautiful is what You see
    When You look at me

    I want to live where soul meets body
    and let the sun wrap its arms around me
    and bathe my skin in water, cool and cleansing
    and feel,feel what its like to be new

    "Are you really here or am I dreamin'?
    I can't tell dreams from truth,
    For it's been so long since I have seen you.
    I can hardly remember your face anymore.
    When I get really lonely and the distance calls its only silence,
    I think of you smiling with pride in your eyes a, lover that sighs. "

    - "If You Want Me" Marketa Irglova with Glen Hansard

    I came across this post and the first thing that came to mind was "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now"

    ... and we can build this dream together
    Standing strong forever
    Nothings gonna stop us now!

    A Very Short Song - Dorothy Parker performed by Aiden John Moffat

    Once, when I was young and true,
    Someone left me sad-
    Broke my brittle heart in two;
    And that is very bad.

    Love is for unlucky folk,
    Love is but a curse.
    Once there was a heart I broke;
    And that, I think, is worse.

    Cyclops - Pete Doherty / Babyshambles / The Libertines

    "Everywhere I'm walking like a cyclone
    But don't mind me
    It's not fair, I'm a magnet for psychos
    And pretty little riddles keen on me"

    Music When The Lights Go Out - The Libertines

    "is it cruel to be kind not to speak my mind and to lie to you rather than hurt you
    well i'll confess all of my sins after several large gins but still i;ll hide from you, hide whats
    inside from you
    and alarm bells ring.when you say your heart still sings.when your with me, oh darling please
    forgive me
    but i no longer hear the music oh no no no no"
    You On My Mind In My Sleep - Richard Ashcroft
    You ain't ever seen
    The way to find your dreams
    Forget what's within within
    Cos who you've been you've been

    If all we lose is the skin
    I'm putting you under within
    We're gonna make this life together

    The symptoms are too deep
    I got you on my mind in my sleep

    I could go on forever to be honest

    Now I don't know what stopped Jesus Christ
    From turning every hungry stone into bread
    And I don't remember hearing how Moses reacted
    When the innocent first born sons lay dead
    Well, I guess God was a lot more demonstrative
    Back when he flamboyantly parted the sea
    Now everybody's praying
    Don't pray on me

    Bad Religion

    The apple falls far from the tree
    she's rotten and so beautiful
    I'd like to keep her here with me
    and tell her that she's beautiful
    She takes the pills to fall asleep
    and dreams that she's invisible
    Tormented dreams she stays awake
    recalls when she was capable...

    Someone take these dreams away
    That point me to another day
    A duel of personalities
    That stretch all true realities

    That keep calling me
    They keep calling me
    Keep on calling me
    They keep calling me

    When figures from the past stand tall
    And mocking voices ring the hall
    Imperialistic house of prayer
    Conquistadors who took their share

    I got caught in a storm
    And carried away
    I got turned, turned around

    I got caught in a storm
    That's what happened to me
    So I didn't call
    And you didn't see me for a while

    I was rising up
    Hitting the ground
    And breaking and breaking

    I was caught in a storm
    Things were flying around
    And doors were slamming
    And windows were breaking
    And I couldn't hear what you were saying
    I couldn't hear what you were saying
    I couldn't hear what you were saying

    I was rising up
    Hitting the ground
    And breaking and breaking

    And Opiv

    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
    -Christina Aguliera (Fighter)....my ex was an *kitten*.


    You all hate your children
    They're too fat to feed
    You're on medication
    Taking pills to sleep
    I think I'm doing just fine
    Compared to what you've been doing
    I won't get vaccinated
    Insurance costs too much
    You think you're so persuasive
    But I'm not giving up
    Saving my life
    It's not what you're doing
    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)
