Thought it would be interesting if we posted some song lyrics that described how we are currently feeling, anyway here's mine;

ALKALINE TRIO - The Poison

It's not just the pain, the pain in my back
That laughs in my face, my face every night
Or the poison that took my lungs
That keeps me from feeling warm.

But how could a rooftop view in London
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
Nothing has changed but now I fight with words
And I can't see so good.

And there's got to be more, much more than this.
I got pages of dreams, they're covered in piss
And the poison that took my soul,
It keeps me from feeling anything.

And how could a rooftop view in London
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
Nothing has changed but now I fight with words
And I can't see so good.
And now I fight with the words,
And now I fight with the words,
Now I fight with the words.

And how could a rooftop view in London
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
Nothing has changed but now I fight with the words,
And I can't see so good.

A domesticated girl that's all you ask of me
Darling it is no joke, this is lycanthropy
The moon's awake now with eyes wide open
My body's craving, so feed the hungry

I've been devoting myself to you Monday to Monday and Friday to Friday
Not getting enough retribution or decent incentives to keep me at it
I'm starting to feel just a little abused like a coffee machine in an office
So I'm gonna go somewhere cozy to get me a lover
And tell you all about it

There's a she wolf in your closet
Open up and set her free
There's a she wolf in your closet
Let it out so it can breathe

Sitting across a bar, staring right at her prey
It's going well so far, she's gonna get her way
Nocturnal creatures are not so prudent
The moon's my teacher, and I'm her student

To locate the single men, I got on me a special radar
And the fire department hotline in case I get in trouble later
Not looking for cute little divos or rich city guys that just want to enjoy
But having a very good time and behave very bad in the arms of a boy


Shewolf-by Shakira lol
This is exactly how i feel ;)

Lost Command - Linda Perry

Lord I feel I've lost command
The ship I've built is crashing from my hands
Everything seems so unclear
My tattered sails have all but disappeared

There was a lightning crash right over me
It struck so hard my ship began to sink
And just as the sea began to take me down
Someone reached right in and rescued me
La la la la la la la

Stranded so very very long
Lately lord I just don't feel too strong
See hopeless is carrying me away
I'm on my knees begging for today

There was a lightning crash right over me
It struck so hard my ship began to sink
And just as the sea began to take me down
Someone reached right in and rescued me

say anything - admit it!

ADMIT IT! Despite your pseudo-bohemian appearance and vaguely leftist doctrine of beliefs, you know nothing ABOUT art or sex that you couldn't read in any trendy new york underground fashion magazine...Proto-typical non-conformist. You are a vacuous soldier of the thrift store gestapo. You adhere to a set of standards and tastes that appear to be determined by an unseen panel of hipster judges-BULL****-giving your thumbs up and thumbs down to incoming and outgoing trends and styles of music and art. Go analog baby, you're so post-modern. You're diving face forward into an antiquated past, it's disgusting! It's offensive! Don't stick your nose up at me!

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Woah,Woah,Woah,Woah!
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Woah,Woah,Woah,Woah!

You spend your time sitting in circles with your friends, pontificating to each other, forever competing for that one moment of self aggrandizing glory in which you hog the intellectual spotlight, holding dominion over the entire SHALLOW....POINTLESS...conversation. Oh we're not worthy.

When you walk by a group of quote-unquote normal people you chuckle to yourself, patting yourself on the back as you scoff. It's the same superority complex shared by the high school jocks who made your life a living hell, makes you a slave to the competitive capitalist dogma you spend every moment of your waking life *****ING about!

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Woah,Woah,Woah,Woah!
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Woah,Woah,Woah,Woah!

Cause I'm proud of my life and the things that I have done, proud of myself and the loner I've become. You're free to whine. It will not get you far. I do just fine, my car and my guitar, proud of my life and the things that I have done, proud of myself and the loner I've become. You're free to whine. It will not get you far. I do just fine, my car and my guitar.

Well let me tell you this, I am shamelessly self-involved. I spend hours in front of the mirror making my hair elegantly disheveled. I worry about how this album will sell because I believe it will determine the amount of SEX I will have in the future. I self-medicate with drugs and alcohol to help treat my extreme social anxiety problem. You are a FAKER! ADMIT IT!You are a FRAUD!ADMIT IT! You're living a LIE! your life is living a lie! You don't impress me! ADMIT IT! You don't intimidate me! ADMIT IT! Why don't you bow down, get on the ground, walk this ****ing plank!

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Woah,Woah,Woah!
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Woah,Woah,Woah!

I'm proud of my life and the things that I have done, proud of myself and the loner i've become. You're free to whine. It will not get you far. I do just fine, my car and my guitar,guitar go!

I drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, yeah
I drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, yeah oh

And I am done with this,
I wanna taste the breeze of every great city ,
My car and my guitar,
My car and my guitar,
So you'll come to be, made of these urges unfulfilled,
Oh no, no, no, no, no,
When I'm dead I'll rest,
When I'm dead I'll rest, lay still,
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest,
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest,
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest,
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest,

Verse from 'Thurston Moore's Psychic Hearts'

they ****ed your head up
that's for sure
your heart is ripped now wrapped in fur
but you know that sex is pretty insane
and magic seems to kill the pain
and the things that go on inside your brain
makes you seem to think that you're to blame
don't think about it
throw it out
love 'em all and say it loud
fight the scumbags that slap you around
scream your crazy lost and found
we don't have to tell you what is right
we have all the faith that it was not right

Can't stop my mind from thinking of you
How am I supposed to function
Got me feelin' for your lips on my kiss
All night, never want no other lover

Baby I'm hungry
I want and I need
Bring me your sugar
And pour it all over me baby

- "Put Your Hands On Me" by Joss Stone.

"I bet you've never heard ole Marshall Dylan say
Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away
Settling down would you marry me
If I ask you twice and beg you pretty please
She'd of said Yes in a New York minute
They never tied the knot
His heart wasn't in it
He just stole a kiss as he road away
He never hung his hat up, at Kitty's place"
- Toby Keith "Shoulda Been a Cowboy"

I'm also feeling like this:

"Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you, baby
Does the sight of me wanting you drive you crazy
Do I have your love, am I still enough
Tell me don't I, or tell me do I, baby

Give you everything that you ever wanted
Would you rather just turn away and leave me lonely
Do I just need to give up and get on with my life
Baby, do I?"
- Luke Bryan "Do I"

bayside; tortures if the damned

hate myself more than I ever let on
I’m burned out at 22
I lived too fast and I loved too much and I’ll die too young, but I chose this cup that I drank from
Knew what I was getting into. But I couldn’t let out what I had to keep in
I’m ashamed of myself and unspeakable sins that I’ve committed and…
I’ve made mistakes but I’ll find my way. No explanation for the things I’ve failed at before
They can’t hold my hand
It just hurts to be a man
Through the tortures of the damned. If I only had an axe I’d sever the ties I’ve made with the world
Maybe I can be a stranger in a strange place If I start now, maybe I can be saved
If I only had a mask, I’d cover these bleeding eyes
They’re bloodshot now but they’ll be black by dawn
If I wake up now I can be pure again
Look at me now, I’m on the tracks with my back towards the last train leaving

Loneliness it shadows me, quicker than darkness
Crawls to the surface of my skin, visibly surrounded by it

Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free

Surrounded by empty souls, artificial courage used
And because so, once was mine
I walk this maze alone

Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free

The man's beside himself, man's below himself
Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself

Chaos and hate shadow me, pain it fills me up
Only one thing makes me feel, missing better half of me

Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free

The man's beside himself, man's below himself
Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself

Chaos and hate shadow me, hate it fills me up
Only one thing makes me feel, missing better half of me

Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free

The man's beside himself, man's below himself
Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself

ALICE AND CHAINS - AM I INSIDE

A cold and frosty mornin'
There's not a lot to say, about the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawnin'
My plane flew away, with all the things caught in my mind
And I wanna be there when you're comin' down
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day
In the time of my life, cause I need more time
Yes I need more time just to make things right

I feel like I would like to be somewhere else doing something that matters,
And I'll admit here, while I sit here my mind wastes away and my doubts start to gather,
What's the purpose?
It feels worthless,
So unwanted like I've lost all my value,
I can't find it not in the least bit and I'm just scared so scared that I'll fail you,
And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all,
And sometimes I wonder why, why I'm even here at all,
But then you assure me, I'm a little more than useless and when I think that I can't do this you promise me that I'll get thru this and doing something right for once,
So if I say I can't do something significant I'll opt to leave most opportunities wasted,
And nothing trivial that life can give me will measure up to what might have replaced it,
Too late look my date book is packed full of days that were empty and now gone,
And I'll bet that regret will prove to get me to improve in the long run.
Unnoticed, I know this week is a symbol of how I use my time,
Resent it, I spent it convincing myself the world's doing just fine,
Without me doing anything of any consequence,
Without me showing any sign of ever making sense of my time,
It's my life and my right to use it like I should like He would for the good of everything that I would ever know.
I'm a little more than useless and when I think that I can't do this you promise me that I'll get thru this and do something right for once,
I'm a little more than useless and I never knew I knew this was gonna be the day when I would do something right for once.

I really need to talk with you
I keep stepping on the vein
That keeps my lifeline flowing thru
I wanna be your perfect stick of glue
But I don’t feel perfect at all
Sad and insecure flaw

I find it hard to hold conversation
I get sweaty sick and I wanna walk away
Its not you its strictly me in this situation
I’m wondering will it ever go away…just go away

Apparently this is my "theme song"...

Kate Perry lyrics - "Hot n Cold"

Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you) You don't really want to stay, no
(but you) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
What can I say, I'm an emotional chick!

Sit Down
James


I sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep
Insight of the day
Swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that God exists
I hope I pray

Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow

Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
In sympathy

Now I'm relieved to hear
That you've been to some far out places
It's hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I've swung back down again
It's worse than it was before
If I hadn't seen such riches
I could live with being poor

Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
In sympathy

Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they're touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate

Down
Down

Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
In sympathy

Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
In sympathy

Down

Alesana - Apology

Sweat drips in my eyes
screams of lust we cry
tonight you are everything
you're everything...
you're everything to me no more
as I wake from this perfect dream
I'll escape from Eden's walls
can I not stay and live this lie?
go away and I'll think only of myself

And to think that you would not be scared
or surprised if I'd severed all these ties
this is the end...

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
help me get over you
one last false apology
help me get over you

I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusions...
would this be the same?
broken pieces will not mend to save our past now...go away...

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
help me get over you
one last false apology
help me get over you

Now we must let go
urgency overwhelms me as I must restrain my flood of tears
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
help me get over you
one last false apology
help me get over you

The Motions - Matthew West

This might hurt; It's not safe
But I know that I've got to make a change
I don't care if I break
At least I'll be feeling something
Just ok is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't want to go through the motions
I don't want to go one more day
Without your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't want to spend my whole life asking
What if I had given everything
Instead of going through the motions

No regrets; Not this time
Gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
Just ok is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

Take me all the way
Take me all the way
I don't want to go through the motions

It's a Christian song. :)

Cascada- Runaway

From London to Paris
From Berlin to Rome
You're searching for something
A place to call home

Been hiding your feelings
Went out of control
Your destinations unknown

Tell me
How can it be boy?
You're still a runaway
You chase the dreams from heaven above
Where in this world will you find a place to stay?
Runaway from love

How can it be boy?
You're still a runaway
You chase the dreams from heaven above, baby
Where in this world will you find a place to stay?
Runaway from love
Runaway from love (runaway)

A new town, a new place
A knock on the door
You came as a stranger and entered the door
The moment I saw you, I knew it for sure
You won't pack your bags anymore

Tell me
How can it be boy?
You're still a runaway
You chase the dreams from heaven above
Where in this world will you find a place to stay?
Runaway from love

How can it be boy?
You're still a runaway
You chase the dreams from heaven above, baby
Where in this world will you find a place to stay?
Runaway from love
Runaway from love (runaway)

I know you don't want to be a bother
Though your love's so undiscovered
I want you to stay boy
Stop running from love

How can it be boy?
You're still a runaway
You chase the dreams from heaven above
Where in this world will you find a place to stay?
Runaway from love

How can it be boy?
You're still a runaway
You chase the dreams from heaven above, baby
Where in this world will you find a place to stay?
Runaway from love
Runaway from love

All the times
That I've cried
All this wasted
It's all inside
And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again
And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend
But I feel
Tomorrow will be okay

Staind - Outside
