Day after day after day ad nauseum (literally)

And know I will impale her like a knife
Leave her twisting day after day after day of a very short life
with me

Hahahahaaa!

Listen now closely and hear how I've planned it
Please let me tell you just how it will be
She'll feel the pain but she won't understand it
She'll think it's her fate but we'll know it's me

And know I will impale her like a knife
Leave her twisting day after day after day of a very short life
with me

So let me know have I been clear
That I will magnify each cut and every bruise
And every single childhood tear*

* Misery by Trans-Siberian Orchestra

A destructive cycle

You,
Doin' that thing you do,
Breaking my heart into a million pieces,
Like you always do
And you,
Don't mean to be cruel,
You never even knew about the heartache,
I've been going through
Well I try and try to forget you girl,
But it's just so hard to do,
Every time you do that thing you do.*

Someone Else?
by Queensrÿche

When I fell from grace
I never realized
How deep the flood was around me
A man whose life was toil
Like a kettle left to boil
And the water left these scars on me

I know now who I am
If only for awhile
I recognize the changes
I feel like I did
Before the magic wore thin
And the baptism of stains began

They used to say I was nowhere man
Heading down was my destiny
But yesterday I swear that was someone else not me

Here I stand at the crossroad's edge
Afraid to reach out for eternity
One step when I look down
I see someone else, not me

I keep looking back,
Looking back and I see someone else

Sacrifice, the always say...
is a sign of nobility
But where does one draw the line
in the face of injury?
I'm just trying to understand

Standing here at the crossroad's edge
Looking down at what I used to be
A drowning man, trying to stay afloat
Heavy with the past, but somehow keeping hope
That there's something more that is seen
But it's somewhere out of reach

So I keep looking back
Looking back and I see someone else

All my life they said I was going down
But I'm still standing stronger proud
And today I know, there's so much more I can be
I think I finally understand

From where I stand at the crossroad's edge
There's a path leading out to sea
And from somewhere deep in my mind
Sirens sing out loud, songs of doubt, as only they know how
But one glance back reminds and I see
Someone Else, not me.

I keep looking back at Someone Else... me?

I wonder... what sound do beautiful monsters make?

In all my life, and the hereafter,
I've never seen someone like you
You're a knife, sharp and deadly,
And it's me, that you cut into
But I don't mind, in fact I like it,
though I'm terrified,
I'm turned on but scared of you

She's a monster, beautiful monster,
Beautiful monster, but I don't mind
And I need her, said I need her,
Beautiful monster, but I don't mind*

Living in the here and now

For All We Know
by Nat King Cole

For all we know we may never meet again
Before you go make this moment sweet again
We won't say "Good night" until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it

For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know

So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know

Mmmm...oblivion

You see the signs, but you can’t read
You’re running at a different speed
Your heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you’ll be mine, a one-track mind

You can’t be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there’s some left for you
You don’t mind if you do

Whoa, you like to think that you’re immune to the stuff, oh Yeah
It’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough,
You know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to love*

* Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer

Ha! I got in trouble the last time I called someone that...almost 12 years ago

She says you're a masochist for falling for me,
So roll up your sleeves
And I think that I like her,
'cuz she tells me things I don't want to hear,
Medicinal tongue in my ear

When will it stop? When will it stop?

...

You say that my skin feels like no one else's,
That it's different somehow
But I don't understand, isn't a hand just a hand?
No you don't understand

When will it start? My broken part?*

* Masochist by Ingrid Michaelson

Undeterred

I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
For a heart of gold
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
For a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching
For a heart of gold
And I'm getting old*

Mi Padre
by Alejandro Fernandez

Se van perdiendo en el tiempo
Mis años,
Se van quedando muy lejos!
Ya no me lleva mi padre la mano,
Solamente sus consejos.

Viven en mi los recuerdos de niño
Cuando una estrella deseaba,
Como recuerdo a mi padre!
Que con eso sonreia
Mientras mi madre miraba.

Años que vienen despacio, primero
Con que lentitud avanzan.
Como queria ser grande, recuerdo,
Para no quedarme en casa.
Y acompañar a mi padre muy lejos
Tal vez hasta el fin del mundo!
Porque mi padre era fuerte,
Era muy inteligente,
Era mejor que ninguno!

Hoy ya no quiero que pasen los años,
Porque mi padre ya esta viejo.
Se le han cubierto de arrugas sus manos,
Y de nieve sus cabellos.
Oh! Señor, deten el tiempo te pido!
Porque tu puedes hacerlo!
Porque yo en verdad no entiendo, Dios mio
Porque se nos va lo bueno?

Cuando se cansen un dia tus pasos
Yo quiero ser quien los cuide
Mientras tanto dame el brazo
Y vamos a ver, a ver que vas a decirme?

That's positively alright!

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night*

Mercury
by Counting Crows

She is trapped inside a month of gray
And they take a little every day
She is a victim of her own responses
Shackled to a heart that wants to settle
And then runs away
It's a sin to be fading endlessly
Yeah, but she's alright with me

She is leaving on a walkaway
She is leaving me in disarray
In the absence of a place to be
She stands there looking back at me
Hesitates, and then turns away
She'll change so suddenly
She's just like mercury
Yeah, but she's alright with me

Keep some sorrow in your hearts and minds
For the things that die before their time
For the restlessly abandoned homes
The tired and weary rambler's bones
And stay beside me where I lie
She's entwined in me
Crazy as can be
Yeah, but she's alright with me

The science of love is not easy

I was just guessin’ at numbers and figures
Pullin’ the puzzles apart
Questions of science. Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me, come back to haunt me
Oh when I rush to the start
Runnin’ in circles. Chasin’ our tails
Comin’ back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Aww It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I’m goin’ back to the start*

* The Scientist by Coldplay

Go ahead...I'll follow...

Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
Stars go blue, stars go blue, stars go blue*

As a child, I changed my name whenever I was upset

Clementine
by Sarah Jaffe

50 states, 50 lines, 50 crying all the times.
50 boys, 50 lies, 50 I'm gonna change my minds.
So I changed my mind, I changed my mind.
Now I'm feeling different.
We were young, we were young,
we were young we didn't care.
Is it gone? Is it gone? Is it floating in the air?
Changed my mind, I changed my mind,
now I'm feeling different.
All that time, wasted.
I wish I was a little more delicate.
I wish my, I wish my, I wish my, I wish my,
I wish my name was Clementine.

Longing

I had a dream I was alone
Nowhere was mine, no one was home
Sunshine don't you wake me,
darkness come and take me...*

* Don't Go Home by Kirsty MacColl

Thank you E!

But it was long ago and it was far away,
Oh God it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway,
Then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are
And objects in the rear view mirror
May appear closer than they are *

* Objects in The Rearview Mirror by Meat Loaf

Nowhere to run

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love

A gift from NPR

I could say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
It's hard to know they're out there
It's hard to know that you still care

I could say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
Dead hearts are everywhere
Dead hearts are everywhere

Did you touch them?
Did you hold them?
Did they follow you to town?
They make me feel I'm falling down
They make me feel I'm falling down*

* Dead Hearts by Stars

Thankful through the pain

Whenever we loved, we loved
Whatever it was, it's over now
We both understand things don't
Always fall the way we plan

Whatever we had, we had
Whatever we had it's over , over now
We parted as friends
And for that I'm so glad
But whatever we had, we had

You know we did a lot of things in those years
We felt a lot of pain through tears
But there's something that we did that I'll always, always be thankful for
Together we created a very special life and that's why I'm
Saying to you...*

* Whatever We Had, We Had by Barry White

Wisdom is gained when we learn from experience

We find the people of our dreams
We find that they're not what they seem
I've learned that people come and go
I've learned that families break and grow
Toy soldiers brave away those tears
Toy soldiers hope for better years
Today I strike out on my own
The dog is dead. We kids have grown.*

So long as you're around...

There's a big ol' hole
That goes right through my soul
Oh that ain't nothin' new
So long as you're around
And got no place else you've found
There's only one thing left for you to do

Just creep on in
Creep on in
And once you have begun
Don't stop until you're done
Sneaking in
