I force myself through another day Can’t explain the way today just fell apart like everything Right in my face And I try to be the one I can't accept this all because of you I've had to walk away From everything
I'm afraid to be alone Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone I'm afraid to come back home
Another sleepless night again Hotel rooms my only friend And friends like that just don't add up To anything And I try so hard to be everything That I should never take away from you again 'Cause I heard ya say
I'm afraid to be alone Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone I'm afraid to come back home
I cannot forget I live with regret I cannot forget I live with...
I'll live through this I can't see through this I can't do this anymore
Cause I'm afraid to be alone Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone I'm afraid to come back home
Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone I just wish I was back home Home
"You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one." Thoreau
These guys& lyrics are definately POWERFUL PLAN A songs is rite. Wow, the intensity, connection, talent is outstanding. I tuned into this one. Hope you can keep sharing. Awesome artists... with some depth/feeling...
We definately, needed these songs for the collection. Sometimes, people are just so numb, don't quite know what they are feeling. Poetry is great.
Staind.
Right Here Waiting.
"Right Here"
I know I've been mistaken But just give me a break and see the changes that I've made I've got some imperfections But how can you collect them all and throw them in my face
But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting And if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting
I hope you're not intending To be so condescending it's as much as i can take and you're so independent you just refuse to bend so I keep bending till I break
But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting And if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting
I've made a commitment I'm willing to bleed for you I needed fulfillment I found what I need in you
Why can't you just forgive me I don't want to relive all the mistakes I've made along the way But I always find a way to keep you right here waiting I always find the words to say to keep you right here waiting
But you always find a way To keep me right here waiting You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting And if I chose to walk away would you be right here waiting Searching for the things to say to keep me right here waiting
You are absolutely correct...Staind was my Plan A 'anthem' music. Aaron Lewis' voice is so full of sadness, anger, and HOPE.
I was going to post Right Here Waiting, but I didn't want to fill you guys up with Staind. But since you asked for it, here comes some more.
BTW, you can get all of these songs on one CD. Staind, The Singles 1996-2006. An absolute Plan A necessity.
The following song has some profanity, but I used to play this one when I was feeling sorry for myself...and mourning the absence of my W.
"Its Been Awhile" by Staind
And it's been a while Since I could hold my head up high And it's been a while since I first saw you And it's been a while since I could stand on my own two feet again And it's been a while since I could call you
And everything I can't remember As f*&ked up as it all may seem The consequences that I've rendered I've stretched myself beyond my means
It's been awhile Since I can say that I wasn't addicted And it's been a while since I can say I love myself as well and And it's been a while since I've gone and f*&ked things up just like I always do And it's been a while but all that [censored] seems to disappear when I'm with you
And everything I can't remember As f*&ked up as it all may seem The consequences that I've rendered I've gone and f*&ked things up again
Why must I feel this way? Just make this go away Just one more peaceful day
And it's been a while Since I could look at myself straight And it's been a while since I said I'm sorry And it's been a while since I've seen the way the candles light your face And it's been a while but I can still remember just the way you taste
And everything I can't remember As f*&ked up as it all may seem to be I know it's me I cannot blame this on my father He did the best he could for me
And it's been a while Since I could hold my head up high And it's been a while since I said I'm sorry
"You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one." Thoreau
This is my life Its not what it was before All these feelings I’ve shared And these are my dreams That I’ve never lived before Somebody shake me Cause I, I must be sleeping
(chorus) And now that we're here, So far away All the struggle we thought was in vain And all the mistakes, One life contained They all finally start to go away And now that we're here its so far away And I feel like I can face the day I can forgive, and I’m not ashamed to be the person that I am today
These are my words That I’ve never said before I think I’m doing ok And this is the smile That I’ve never shown before
Somebody shake me Cause I, I must be sleeping
(chorus) And now that were here So far away All the struggle we thought was in vain And all mistakes one life contains They all finally start to go away And now that were here So far away And I feel like I can face the day I can forgive, and I’m not ashamed to be the person that I am today
I'm so afraid of waking Please don't shake me Afraid of waking Please dont shake me
(chorus) And now that were here So far away All the struggle we thought was in vain And all the mistakes one life contains They all finally start to go away And now that were here So far away And I feel like I can face the day I can forgive, and I’m not ashamed to be the person that I am today
"You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one." Thoreau
Your words to me just a whisper Your face is so unclear I try to pay attention Your words just disappear
'Cause it's always raining in my head Forget all the things I should have said
So I speak to you in riddles 'Cause my words get in my way. I smoke the whole thing to my head And feel it wash away 'Cause I can't take anymore of this, I want to come apart, or dig myself a little hole Inside your precious heart
'Cause it's always raining in my head Forget all the things I should have said
I am nothing more than A little boy inside That cries out for attention, Yet I always try to hide 'Cause I talk to you like children, Though I don't know how I feel But I know I'll do the right thing If the right thing is revealed
'Cause it's always raining in my head Forget all the things I should have said
"You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one." Thoreau
This is another song I frequently listened to during Plan A...and it's not by Staind <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
NOTE - the only video I could find with the song actually perfomed by the artist was a collection of clips from the tv show ER.
Enjoy,

"Everything Will Be Alright (Will's Lullaby)" by Joshua Radin
Way down, in New York town Thinking about the way she loved me There's a hole in my pocket That's about her size But I think everything Is gonna be alright Yes I hope everything Is gonna be alright
The smiling face, straight in LA The gifts are found at the bar But I wish my car Could drive to her tonight Then I'd know everything Is gonna be alright Yes then I'd know It'll be alright
The rain in New Orleans, forgot to end But the mouths of the people are dry And we watch and wait And do nothing but sigh And hope everything Is gonna turn alright But I don't know If it'll be alright
But I look at you, warm in your dream While your mobile dances above And I think to myself It's a beautiful night And I know everything Is gonna be alright Yes now I know It'll be alright
"You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one." Thoreau
AWESOME contributions!!! Lewis material is very therapeutic from the heart plan A...
Staind, melodically, transforms those intense grief emotions into strong, beautiful, authentic, meaningful, mourning, remorse, expressions the range of dysfunction & recovery.
Nice add on. Wills' Lullaby is very, very beautiful song. Really enjoyed it.
As you can tell, this is a pretty eclectic relaxed thread of whatever needs to be expressed--- does!!!
Took the liberty here to re-post Outside, from your earlier post& add the music video...
Thankyou, I am so inspired & definately need to get the cd.
Please continue to add on!!!
Outside by Staind
And you, bring me to my knees - again All the times, I had to beg you please - in vain All the times, that I felt insecure - for you And I leave, my burdens at the door.
But I'm on the outside, I'm looking in I can see through you, see your true colors Cause inside your ugly, You're ugly like me I can see through you...see the real you.
All the times that I felt like this won't end - was for YOU And I taste, what I could never have - was from YOU All the times, that I tried, My intentions...full of pride But I waste more time than anyone.
But I'm on the outside, I'm looking in I can see through you, see your true colors Cause inside your ugly, You're ugly like me I can see through you...see the real you.
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 OK.
But I'm on the outside, I'm looking in I can see through you, see your true colors Cause inside your ugly, You're ugly like me I can see through you...see the real you.
My prayers have begun for you/family at court... Your pillar stands beside you for all that is right&true. God loves your entire family! HIS Courage is with you!!!
He's tougher than nails!!! All our best thoughts/prayers!!!
Especially for you/wife today! Standin against fallen darkness. Shine on!!!
it was only one hour ago it was all so different then there's nothing yet has really sunk in looks like it always did this flesh and bone it's just the way that you would tied in now there's no-one home
i grieve for you you leave me 'so hard to move on still loving what's gone they say life carries on carries on and on and on and on
the news that truly shocks is the empty empty page while the final rattle rocks its empty empty cage and i can't handle this
i grieve for you you leave me let it out and move on missing what's gone they say life carries on they say life carries on and on and on
life carries on in the people i meet in everyone that's out on the street in all the dogs and cats in the flies and rats in the rot and the rust in the ashes and the dust life carries on and on and on and on life carries on and on and on
it's just the car that we ride in a home we reside in the face that we hide in the way we are tied in and life carries on and on and on and on life carries on and on and on
did I dream this belief? or did i believe this dream? now i can find relief i grieve
Another well done music video variation on Peter Gabriel song I Grieve. Lyrics upabove.
Sometimes just the vapors of silent emotions of sorrow is all we can feel (fog) deal with... Wondering where did that person I once knew/loved/cherished go? The evaporation & dissoultion of relationships has it's own tempo floaty flow.
But was hesitant because it is kinda sad and I do not want to bring everyone down here... but, as it is true and everybody does hurt from time to time - whatcha think ?
Sending thoughts and prayers to Eph today in court.
in this proud land we grew up strong we were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail
no fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name but no one wants you when you lose
don't give up 'cos you have friends don't give up you're not beaten yet don't give up I know you can make it good
though I saw it all around never thought I could be affected thought that we'd be the last to go it is so strange the way things turn
drove the night toward my home the place that I was born, on the lakeside as daylight broke, I saw the earth the trees had burned down to the ground
don't give up you still have us don't give up we don't need much of anything don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place where we belong
rest your head you worry too much it's going to be alright when times get rough you can fall back on us don't give up please don't give up
'got to walk out of here I can't take anymore going to stand on that bridge keep my eyes down below whatever may come and whatever may go that river's flowing that river's flowing
moved on to another town tried hard to settle down for every job, so many men so many men no-one needs
don't give up 'cause you have friends don't give up you're not the only one don't give up no reason to be ashamed don't give up you still have us don't give up now we're proud of who you are don't give up you know it's never been easy don't give up 'cause I believe there's the a place there's a place where we belong
Carn, Request! Can anyone relate??? Underneath it all lingers melodic melancholy.....Everybody hurts... yes it does, cleaning the hurt/scars gently....a little at a time.

Everybody Hurts
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone, when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on. Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along. When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on) if you feel like letting go, (hold on) when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends. Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand. If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long, when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes, everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes. And everybody hurts sometimes.
So, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)
Sometimes, we need a little paradoies along the way-having human experinces!

Wow Sky - I thought of you just now. How kind and insightful you are to those of us here... as we all have our crosses to bear... thanks so much for being here for us.
You are a treasure - I do hope that you know this !!
(well, for once I was not up dancing to my computer... actually crying, but it was a good, cleansing cry)
Your just such a sweetie cheese cake of a person!!! Thankyou, for all your kind words!!! My sincerest pleasure in contributing!!!
Your very rite, we all have our crosses to bear& some of us end up at the cloverleaf cross-roads of life at some point, without a map, or directions...
Not saying we wanted to go on this journey willingly, nevertheless, we ended up here. Oh those waywards are aweful navigators...
Good feeling, if we can make the journey at least a little bit more comfortable. Re-collect ourselves.
We clean our homes, cars, etc, but what about our hearts, minds that accumumlated yrs, of incomprehensible amounts of hurt/pain.
We all need some guidance,coaching, comfort,from our friends where ever they may be...
Ok check this out... I am thinking of ROCKY!!! Different type of dancing, get the dust rags out, do battle with the dust bunnies...LOL.
Motivation to keep up fitness plan, get the yard wk done!!!LOL!! UPBEAT, CHIN UP STUFF!!!

You'll Never Walk Alone Again
Lyrics
When you walk through a storm hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark. At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark. Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain, Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone, You'll never, ever walk alone. Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone, You'll never, ever walk alone.
