Song: I Don't Want To Be Me
I'm not feeling so bold
Can't you see I don't want to grow old
And my photograph's an epitaph of parody
I don't want to be me
I'm not feeling so sure
It would help if you offer a cure
If I wait, it's too late for the remedy
I don't want to be me
You won't save me
Cause I'm not the fortunate one
So don't blame me
If I decide to go hide or instead to just run
I'm not feeling so well
Maybe we could just sit for a spell
And make amends, it depends on my injury
I don't want to be me
I don't want to be me
I don't want to be me
You won't save me
Cause I'm not the fortunate one
So don't blame me
If I decide to go hide or instead to just run
If I decide to go hide or instead to just run
If I decide to go hide or instead to just run.
'And it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this'
'Don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
You paint your house white and fill in the noise
They'll take something with them
Now that you find it it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rail
You'll close it off for what you need,
she can't escape you
you'll go to hell for what' you've done.
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
And in the spring I shed my skin
And it blows away with the changing wind
The waters turn from blue to red
As towards the sky I offer it
Don't give up, it takes a while
I have seen this look before
And it's alright
You're not alone
If you don't love this anymore
I hear that you've slipped again
I'm here 'cause I know you'll need a friend
And you know that accidents can happen
And it's okay,
We all fall off the wagon sometimes
It's not your whole life
It's only one day
You haven't thrown everything away.
Take some time and learn to breathe
And remember what it means
To feel alive
And to believe
Something more than what you see
I know there's a price for this
But some things in life you must resist
And you know that accidents can happen
And it's okay,
We all fall off the wagon sometimes
It's not your whole life
It's only one day
You haven't thrown everything away.
I hear that you've slipped again
I'm here 'cause I know you'll need a friend
And you know that accidents can happen
And it's okay,
We all fall off the wagon sometimes
It's not your whole life
It's only one day
You haven't thrown everything away.
You know that accidents can happen
And it's okay,
We all fall off the wagon sometimes
It's not your whole life
It's only one day
You haven't thrown everything away.
And now I'm all alone again,
No where to turn, no one to go to
Without a hope, without a friend, Without a face to say hello to
but now the night is near,
and I can make believe he's here.
Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head.
Linkin Park - Papercut
Why does it feel like night today? Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today? Paranoia's all I got left I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
Like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall (And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right beneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia's probably worse I don't know what set me off first
But I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
Linkin Park - Numb I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) And every second I waste is more than I can take
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I've become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Location: In a glass vial in the pocket of a beautiful mind.
I am currently:
I’ll be your respirator,
I’ll be your pressure suit,
it’s alright, it’s alright,
I’ll be your four leaf clover,
I’ll be your pressure suit,
I’ll be your angel wings,
I’ll be parachute,
I’ll be your only reason,
I’ll be your only reason,
I can’t stop loving you.

"Sacrifice is the most you can love someone." ♥
Love was at best an excuse for stupidity, at worst a destructive, dangerous emotion that drove men to acts of annihilation which defied logic. It was a twisted, insidious sentiment used to justify everything from spoiling a child to destroying entire civilizations.
Better stand tall when they're calling you out, Don't bend, Don't break baby, don't back down.
It's my life, And it's now or never cos I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive. (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway, Like Frankie said, I did it my way I just want to live while I'm alive.
So I run, hide and tell myself I'll start again with a brand new name
And eyes that see into infinity
I will disappear
I told you once and I'll say it again I want my message read clear
I'll show you the way, the way I'm going
So I run, hide and tell myself I'll start again with a brand new name
And eyes that see into infinity I was almost there Just a moment away from becoming unclear Ever get the feeling you're gone I'll show you the way, the way I'm going
So I run, hide and tell myself
I'll start again with a brand new name
And eyes that see into infinity So I run, start again
With a brand new name
With a brand new name
So I run and hide and tell myself (so I run)
I'll start again with a brand new name (start again) And eyes that see into infinity (with a brand new name) I will disappear
Oh why can't I be what you need? A new improved version of me But I'm nothing so good No, I'm nothing
Just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs Of violence, of love and of sorrow
I beg for just one more tomorrow
Where you hold me down, fold me in
Deep, deep, deep in the heart of your sins
I break in two over you
I break in two And each piece of me dies And only you can give the breath of life But you don't see me, you don't
Here I'm pinned between darkness and light
Bleached and blinded by these nights Where I'm tossing and tortured 'til dawn By you, visions of you then you're gone.
The shock bleeds the red from my face
When I hear someone's taken my place. How could love be so thoughtless, so cruel? When all, all that I did was for you
I break in two over you I break in two And each piece of me dies And only you can give the breath of life But you don't see me, you don't
I break in two over you
I break in two over you, over you I break in two I would break in two for you Now you see me Now you don't Now you need me Now you don't
Simple Plan - Thank You I thought that I could always count on you
I thought that nothing could come between us two
We said as long as we would stick together
We'd be alright,
We'd be ok But I was stupid And you broke me down I'll never be the same again
So thank you for showing me That best friends cannot be trusted And thank you for lying to me Your friendship and good times we had You can have them back
Yeah
I wonder why it always has to hurt For every lesson that you have to learn I won't forget what you did to me How you showed me things I wish I'd never seen But I was stupid And you broke me down I'll never be the same again
So thank you for showing me That best friends cannot be trusted And thank you for lying to me Your friendship and good times we had You can have them back
When the tables turn again
You'll remember me my friend You'll be wishing I was there for you
I'll be the one you miss the most But you'll only find my ghost
As time goes by You'll wonder why You're all alone
So thank you for showing me That best friends cannot be trusted And thank you for lying to me Your friendship and good times we had You can have them back
So thank you for lying to me So thank you for all the times you let me down So thank you for lying to me So thank you your friendship you can have it back
there's a pedestal across the room and if i try to climb again, this time the fall is fatal. i don't deserve such and easy exit, so maybe my spine can snap on impact and i'll have to crawl away.
i'm ready to take that big step, start tearing off the layers i put up; or is it too late to be anything but what i am? identify the problem,
now let's see if we can fix anything.
just close the door and let me do what i believe, cause it's better for us if you just let me leave.

i keep thinking that there's something i'm supposed to do i keep searching but i'll never measure up for you
i hate the way that you always have something to say yeah i can bend but i won't break for what you willingly pay
maybe i'm not meant to be all the things you want from me isn't it enough to just believe what we've got is enough maybe i'm not meant to be, tired of the dreams you're dreaming
i can slowly feel you changing me into something that i'm not
i'm getting tired of you playing me like a fool i thought i'd land in the skies when i aimed at you i find myself coming up short every time if you can't see me standing here love then you're blind
open your eyes
maybe i'm not meant to be all the things you want from me isn't it enough to just believe what we've got is enough maybe i'm not meant to be, tired of the dreams you're dreaming i can slowly feel you changing me into something that i'm not
i feel the pressure in my life i feel you closing in on me i feel you closing in on me
maybe i'm not meant to be all the things you want from me isn't it enough to just believe what we've got is enough maybe i'm not meant to be, tired of the dreams you're dreaming i can slowly feel you changing me into something that i'm not
(i can slowly feel you changing me) something that i'm not
They painted up your secrets
And the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming?
No one's listening anyway.
Your voice is small and fading
And you're hiding here unknown
And you mother loves you father
'cause she's got nowhere to go And she wonders where these dreams go
'cause the world got in her way
What's the point in never trying?
Nothing's changing anyway.
They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway
And you know I see right through you
'cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming?
You're not listening anyway.
