Got your letter and the poetry you sent
me
Postmarked in december of last year
I really hope you?re doing better
All your friends close by your side
One step closer to recovery
I wish there was something I could say
To erase each and every page
You?ve been through
Even though it?s not my place to save you
I appreciate but cant accept this thank
you note
Thats sealed with your last breath
And I won?t stand aside
And listen to you give up
If you?ll just hold on for one more second
Just hold on to what you have
Just hold on/ just hold on
If you?ll just hold on for one more second
Just hold on to what you have
Just hold on/ just hold on
These arms remain stretched out to you
Maybe someday you?ll accept them
Maybe it?s too late to save a young girls heart that slowly stopped beating
(maybe)
Wake up wake up you?ve gotta believe
Wake up wake up
You cant give up time keeps going on without us
Long after we?re dead and gone
I wish there was something I could say
To erase each and every page
You?ve been through
Even though it?s not my place to save you
I appreciate but cant accept this thank
you note
Thats sealed with your last breath
And I won?t stand aside
And listen to you give up
If you?ll just hold on for one more second
Just hold on to what you have
Just hold on/ just hold on
If you?ll just hold on for one more second
Just hold on to what you have
Just hold on/ just hold on
Dear
Friend
Stacie Orrico
Dear Friend, what's on your mind
You don’t laugh the way you used to
But I've noticed how you cry
Dear friend, I feel so helpless
I see you sit in silence
As you face new pain each day
I feel there’s nothing I can do
I know you don’t feel pretty
Even though you are
But it wasn’t your beauty
That found room in my heart
Dear friend, you are so precious Dear Friend
Dear friend, I'm here for you
I know that you don’t talk too much
But we can share this day anew
Dear Friend, please don’t feel like you're alone
There is someone who is praying
Praying for your peace of mind
Hoping joy is what you'll find
I know you don’t feel weak
Even though you are
But it wasn’t your strength
That found room in my heart
Dear friend, you are so precious, Dear Friend
I gave up on you.
And your exercise
And the world that I knew
Then, I fell back on you.
Cause I need more time
And I need an excuse
I'm a thief, a liar
An angel in the fire
I'm a king, a drug
The push that comes to shove
I'm a freak, a star
I'm everything you are
I'm your jesus, I'm your pride
We're made to heal..
I depend on you
For the wings of life
And the air that you move
And I defended you
For this one last time
For the nerves you abuse.
I'm a thief, a liar
An angel in the fire
I'm a king, a drug
The push that comes to shove
I'm a freak, a star
I'm everything you are
I'm your jesus, I'm your pride
We're made to heal..
Rubberband

"See those trees
Bend in the wind
I feel they've got a lot more sense than me
You see I try to resist
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband bend the beat
If I could learn to give like a rubberband
I'd be back on my feet
A rubberband hold me trousers up
A rubberband ponytails
If I could learn to twang like a rubberband
I'd be a rubberband girl
A rubberband girl me
A rubberband girl me
Oh I wanna be a rubberband girl
When I slip out
Of my catapult
I gotta land with my feet firm on the ground
And let my body catch up
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband bend the heat
If I could learn to give like a rubberband
I'd be back on my feet
A rubberband hold me trousers up
A rubberband ponytails
If I could learn to twang like a rubberband
I'd be a rubberband girl
A rubberband girl me
A rubberband girl me
Oh I wanna be a rubberband girl
Give like a rubberband
Twang like a rubberband
Snap like a rubberband

One rubberband won't keep you up
Two rubberbands won't keep you up
Three rubberbands won't keep you up
Here I go......(aDLib)

Three rubberbands won't keep you up"

Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie
When I look in the mirror and the only
one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
And I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; I'm lovin' what I see
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie
Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but, what she knows
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of
the
game
A misconception, a vast deception
Something's gotta change
Don't be offended this is all my opinion
ain't nothing that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share
with
y'all
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
'Cuz everything's gonna be all right
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie
Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive
minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your Kristal and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need your silicon I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie
Tell
yourself
Natalie Merchant
I know what you tell yourself, you tell
yourself
Look in the mirror, look in the mirror
What does it show
I hear you counting
I know you're adding up the score
I know, oh yes, I know what you tell yourself
You tell yourself
Ever since Eden
We're built for pleasing
Everyone knows
And ever since Adam crack his ribs
and let us go
I know, oh yes I know
What you tell yourself
You tell yourself
Who taught you, how to lie, so well
and to be mean, in each and every word you say
Who told you, that nothing about you is alright?
it's just no use, it's just no good, you'll never be Okay.
Well I know, I know that wrongs been done to you
"It's such a tough world"
That's what you say
Well I know, I know it's easier said than done
But that's enough girl
Give it away, give it
Give it all away
Tell yourself that you're not pretty
Look at you, you're beautiful
Tell yourself that no one sees Plain Jane
Invisible me, just tell yourself, tell yourself
Tell yourself you'll never be
Like the anorexic beauties in the magazines
Like a bargain basement Barbie Doll
No belle du jour
No femme fatale
just tell yourself
Tell yourself there's nothing worse
Than the pain inside and the way it hurts
But tell yourself it's nothing new
'Cause everybody feels it too
They feel it too
And there's just no getting 'round the fact
that you're thirteen right now

The
fading away
Something Fishy
I tell you you're dying and you stare at the floor you're okay but you're crying
it must hurt to the core don't know what you're thinking as you hide at the
door their help makes you worse can you take anymore You tell me you're starving
and I ask you to eat not realizing it's you who will feel the defeat guilt always
beckons even under these sheets my help makes us tired and you're already beat
echoes of tomorrow think of last year today you'll be free of your sorrow but
for now that's someday so now I just wait and listen to the rain and pray you
survive the fading away
and you say as we weigh the options that remain you're hidden in yesterday while
today is the pain so I watch as I cry while you wither and die so real that
it scares me self-hate in your eyes
I tell you I love you you can't love what I see the mirror tells lies reflects
to you what must be it makes you distrust me you can't trust even you your doubt
won't believe so it destroys what is true
echoes of tomorrow think of last year today you'll be free of your sorrow but
for now that's someday so now I just wait and listen to the rain and pray you
survive the fading away

The River
Garth Brooks
You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores.. and
I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide.. yes
I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
And there's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all.. yes
I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry

Tonight and the rest
of my life
Nina Gordon
down to the earth i fell with dripping wings heavy things won’t fly and
the sky might catch on fire and burn the axis of the world that’s why
i prefer a sunless sky to the glittering and stinging in my eyes i feel so light
this is all i want to feel tonight i feel so light tonight and the rest of my
life gleaming in the dark sea i’m as light as air floating there breathlessly
when the dream dissolves i open up my eyes i realize that everything is shoreless
sea a weightlessness is passing over me everything is waves and stars the universe
is resting in my arms

Cat Stevens
Trouble
Oh trouble set me free
I have seen your face
And it's too much too much for me
Trouble
Oh trouble can't you see
You're eating my heart away
And there's nothing much left of me
I've drunk your wine
You have made your world mine
So won't you be fair
So won't you be fair
I don't want no more of you
So won't you be kind to me
Just let me go where
I'll have to go there
Trouble
Oh trouble move away
I have seen your face
And it's too much for me today
Trouble
Oh trouble can't you see
You have made me a wreck
Now won't you leave me in my misery
I've seen your eyes
And I can see death's disguise
Hangin' on me
Hangin' on me
I'm beat, I'm torn
Shattered and tossed and worn
Too shocking to see
Too shocking to see
Trouble
Oh trouble move from me
I have paid my debt
Now won't you leave me in my misery
Trouble
Oh trouble please be kind
I don't want no fight
And I haven't got a lot of time

Tunic
Sonic Youth
Dreaming dreaming of a girl like me
hey what are you waiting for
feeding feeding me
I feel like I'm disappearing
getting smaller every day
I look in the mirror
I'm bigger in every way
she said
you aren't never going anywhere
you aren't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I'm in heaven now, I can see you Richard
good-bye Hollywood, good-bye Downey, hello Janis
hello Dennis, Elvis, and all my brand new friends
I'm so glad you're here with me
until the very end
dreaming dreaming of how it's supposed to be
but now this tunic's spinning
around my arms and knees
I feel like I'm disappearing
getting smaller every day
but when I open my mouth to sing
I'm bigger in every way
she said
you aren't never going anywhere
you aren't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
hey mom look I'm up here
I finally made it
I'm playing the drums again too, don't be sad
the band doesn't sound half-bad
and I remember mom, what you said
you said honey you look so underfed
another green salad, another ice tea
there's a tunic in the closet waiting just for me
I feel like I'm disappearing
getting smaller every day
but I look in your eyes
and I'm bigger in every way
she said
you aren't never going anywhere
you aren't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
I ain't never going anywhere
good-bye Richard, gotta go now
I'm finally on my own
but then I start again
keep the love lights glowing
little girl's got the blues
I can still hear mom say
honey don't let it go to your head

Twilight
Vanessa Carlton
I was stained, with a role, in a day not my own
But as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew, what was right I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen, twilight
Never cared never wanted
Never sought to see what flaunted
So on purpose so in my face Couldn't see beyond my own place
And it was so easy not to behold what I could hold
But you taught me I could change Whatever came within these shallow days
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen
As the sun shines through it pushes away and pushes ahead
It fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead and
I didn't know that I could be so blind to all that is so real
But as illusion dies I see there is so much to be revealed
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen, twilight
I was stained, by a role, in a day not my own
But as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew, what was right
I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen, twilight...

I don't look in the mirror
I don't like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer
I'll never see what you see
It's not me
So beautiful and free
I'll never be what you need
Can't help at all
I was born so beautiful
But now I'm ugly
And I rot in my skin
As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I'm nothing
I know there's nothing I can say
To change
The judegment in their ways
I'll never be what you need
Can't help at all
My love was so beautiful
But now I'm ugly
Yeah...
I'm good enough, but I don't care
I'm good enough, but I'm not there
I'm good enough, but I don't care
The sun is out, but I'm not there
I'm good enough, but I don't care
The sun is out, but I'm not there
I'm good enough
I'm good enough
I don't look in the mirror
I don't like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer
I'll never see what you see
And I rot in my skin
As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I'm nothing
Because I'm ugly

How ‘bout getting off of these antibiotics
How ‘bout stopping eating when I’m full up
How ‘bout them transparent dangling carrots
How ‘bout that ever elusive kudo
Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence
How ‘bout me not blaming you for everything
How ‘bout me enjoying the moment for once
How ‘bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
How ‘bout grieving it all one at a time
Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence
The moment I let go of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment I touched down
How ‘bout no longer being masochistic
How ‘bout remembering your divinity
How ‘bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How ‘bout not equating death with stopping
Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment

Until it Sleeps
Metallica
Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right by my side
So tear me open, pour me out
The things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps
Just like a curse, just like a stray
You feed it once and now it stays
Now it stays
So tear me open, but beware
The things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me until I'm clean
It grips you solely
It stains you solely
It hates you solely
It holds you solely
Until it sleeps...
So tell me why you've choosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it
Tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me until it sleeps
I don't want it.....NO
It grips you soley
It stains you solely
It hates you solely
It holds you, holds you, holds you
Until it sleeps...
So tear me open, but beware
The things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me til I'm clean
Tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps

You're so wonderful
Too good to be true

Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't I be you?
You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down

I'm stuck like glue

Everything you do is quite delicious

Why walk when you can fly
Mary Chapin Carpenter
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, baby
In this world there's a whole lot of pain
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble
But a whole lot of ground to gain
Why take when you could be giving, why watch as the world goes by
It's a hard enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly
In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
In this world there's a whole lot of shame
In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
And a whole lotta ground to gain
When you spend your whole life wishing, wanting and wondering why
It's a long enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly
In this world there's a whole lot of cold
In this world there's a whole lot of blame
In this world you've a soul for a compass
And a heart for a pair of wings
There's a star on the far horizon, rising bright in an azure sky
For the rest of the time that you're given, why walk when you can fly

Wishin’ I was skinny
Wishin’ that the whole world knew my name
Wishin’ I was thrillin’, that I would never be

smooth as pearl, wishin’ I was pretty, wish that

wish that I could wrap the world round my finger,

Strewn across a blue blanket

Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy... happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canapy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy... happy
That way
The worlds a rollercoaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands busy in the air
I wish you were here

It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

Welcome to this place

With arms wide open
Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open

Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world

I sit at my table, and wage war on myself
It seems like it's all, it's all for nothing
I know the barricades, and I know the mortar in the wall breaks
I recognize the weapons, I've used them well
This is my mistake, let me make it good
I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down
I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses
I proclaim the claims are left unstated, I demand a rematch
I decree a stalemate, I divine my deeper motives
I recognize the weapons,
I've practiced them well, I've fitted them myself
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize
This is my mistake, let me make it good
I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down
Reach out for me, and hold me tight
Hold that memory
Let my machine talk to me, let my machine talk to me
This is my world, and I am World Leader Pretend
This is my life, and this is my time
I have been given the freedom to do as I see fit
It's high time to raze the walls that I've destructed
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize
This is my mistake, let me make it good
I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down
You fill in the mortar, you fill in the harmony
You fill in the mortar
I raised the wall, and I'm the only one,
I will be the one to knock it down

Yellow
Cold Play
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah, they were all yellow.
I came along,
I wrote a song for you,
And all the things you do,
And it was called "Yellow."
So then I took my turn,
Oh what a thing to have done,
And it was all "Yellow."
Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful,
You know, you know I love you so,
You know I love you so.
I swam across,
I jumped across for you,
Oh what a thing to do.
Cos you were all "Yellow,"
I drew a line,
I drew a line for you,
Oh what a thing to do,
And it was all "Yellow."
Your skin,
Oh yeah your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful,
And you know for you,
I'd bleed myself dry for you,
I'd bleed myself dry.
It's true, look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine for you,
Look how they shine.
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And all the things that you do.

You make me feel like a whore
Everclear
I take your word like it was gospel
I'm so eager to please
Yeah I like it when
You talk to me
It feels so good inside your shadow
(It's the place I need to be)
Yeah I know I need to climb you
Like a tree
There is this place inside
Where all the good things die
Sometimes I feel like a whore
(Sometimes I feel like a whore)
I hate the way I am around you
(I'm so nervous and weird)
Sometimes I feel like I'm
Breathing underwater
You treat me like I am on fire
Like I'm something to eat
You make me hate what I see
When I see me
Yeah I dream of the day
When I learn how to make you pay
Someday I'll teach you to beg
Someday, someday
Yes I live for the day
When I can hear you say
You make me feel like a whore
Yes I dream of the time
When I can make you mine
(Maybe then I'll feel half alive, more alive, so alive)
There is this place inside
Where all the good things die
You make me feel like a whore
That
I Would Be Good
Alanis Morissette
That i would be good even if i did nothing
That i would be good even if i got the thumbs down
That i would be good if i got and stayed sick
That i would be good even if i gained ten pounds
That i would be fine even even if i went
bankrupt
That i would be good if i lost my hair and my youth
That i would be great if i was no longer queen
That i would be grand if i was not all knowing
That i would be loved even when i numb
myself
That i would be good even when i am overwhelmed
That i would be loved even when i was fuming
That i would be good even if i was clingy
That i would be good even if i lost sanity
That i would be good
Whether with or without you
King
Of Pain
Alanis Morissette
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop
I have stood here before inside the pouring
rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess i'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a fossil that's trapped in a
high cliff wall
That's my soul up there
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
That's my soul up there
There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
That's my soul up there
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
I have stood here before inside the pouring
rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess i'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a king on a throne with his eyes
torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's
pack
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
I have stood here before inside the pouring
rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess i'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
Queen of pain
I'll always be queen of pain
I'll always be queen of pain

Fear Of Bliss
Alanis Morissette
My misery has enjoyed company
And although I have ached
I don't threaten anybody
Sometimes I feel more bigness than I've shared with you
Sometimes I wonder why I quell when I'm not required to
I've tried to be small I've tried to
be stunted
I've tried roadblocks and all
My happy endings prevented
Sometimes I feel it's all just too big to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do
Fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
Fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?)
I could be golden
I could be glowing
I could be freedom
But that could be boring
Sometimes I feel this is too scary to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of losing you
Fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
Fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?)
This talk of liberation makes me want
to go lie down
Under the covers til the terror of the unknown is gone
I could be full
I could be thriving
I could be shining
Sounds isolating
Sometimes I feel this is too good to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what my joy could do
Fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
Fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?)
Sister
Blister
Alanis Morissette
you and me we're cut from the same cloth
it seems to some we famously get along
but you and me are strangers to each other
cuz you and me: competitive to the bone
such tragedy to trample on each other
with how much we've endured
with the state this land is in
you and me feel joined only by gender
we are not all for one and one for all
sister blister we fight to please the
brothers
we think their acceptance is how we win
they're happy we're climbing over each other
to beg the club of boys to let us in
you and me estranged from the mother
you and me have felt impotent in our skin
you and me have taken it out on each other
you and me disloyal to the feminine
such a pity to disavow each other with
how far we've come
with how strong we've been
you and me are on this pendulum together
you and me with scarcity still fueling
sister blister we fight to please the
brothers
we think their acceptance is how we win
they're happy we're climbing over each other
to beg the club of boys to let us in
we may not have priorities same
we may not even like each other
we may not be hugely anti-men
but such a cost to dishonor a sister
you and me have made it harder for the
other
we forget how hard separatism has been
you and me we can help change their minds together
you and me in alignment until the end
sister blister we fight to please the
brothers
we think their acceptance is how we win
they're happy we're climbing over each other
to beg the club of boys to let us in

Jane
Alanis Morissette
What's the matter Mary Jane, you had a hard day
As you place the don't disturb sign on the door
You lost your place in line again, what a pity
You never seem to want to dance anymore
It's a long way down
On this roller coaster
The last chance streetcar
Went off the track
And you're on it.
I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane
What's the point of trying to dream anymore
I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane
Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for
Well it's full speed baby
In the wrong direction
There's a few more bruises
If that's the way
You insist on heading
Please be honest Mary Jane
Are you happy
Please don't censor your tears
You're the sweet crusader
And you're on your way
You're the last great innocent
And that's why I love you
So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish
Worry not about the cars that go by
All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom
Keep warm my dear, keep dry
Tell me
Tell me
What's the matter Mary Jane

Perfect
Alanis Morissette
Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face
Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
And make me prouder
How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet
Be a good girl
You've gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud
I'll live for you
I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem ...... why are you crying
Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect

Eight Easy Steps
Alanis Morissette
how to stay paralyzed by fear of abandonment
how to defer to men in solvable predicaments
how to control someone to be a carbon copy of you
how to have that not work and have them run away from you
how to keep people at arms length and
never get to close
how to mistrust the ones who supposedly love the most
how to pretend you're fine and don't need help from anyone
how to feel worthless so fast you're helping
I'll teach you all this in 8 easy steps
In the course of a lifetime, I never forgot
I'll show you how to in 8 easy steps
I'll show you how leaderships were taught by the best
Why no one will help me
I am too dumb I am too smart
They'll not understand me
I am lonely
They'll hate me
And there is not enough time
It's too hard to help me
And god wants me to work
No resting no lazy
These excuses how they served me so well
They've kept me safe
They've kept me stoic
They've kept me locked in my own cell
I'm too far from home
It takes far too much energy
And I cannot afford to
No one will ever see me
These excuses how they served me so well
They've kept me safe
They've kept me stoic
They've kept me locked inside my cell
These excuses how they're so familiar
They've kept me small
They've kept me blocked
They've kept me safe inside my shell
Bringing this into the light
Shakes their foundation
And it clears my side
Now my imagination
Is the only thing that limits
The bar that is raised to the heights
No one can have it all see
I have to they want me to
And I can't let them down
I'll never be happy
These excuses how they served me so well
They've kept me safe
They’ve kept me small
They’ve kept me locked inside my cell
These excuses how they're so familiar
They've kept me small
They've kept me stoic
They've kept me locked inside my cell
how to hate women when you're supposed to be a feminist
how to play all highest when you're really a hypocrite
how to hate god when you're a player and a spiritualist
how to sabotage when you're in tough seas
I'll teach you all this in 8 easy steps
In the course of a lifetime, I never forgot
I'll show you how to in 8 easy steps
I'll show you how leaderships were taught by the best
I've been doing research for years
I've been practicing my ass off
I've been waiting my whole life for this moment, I swear to you
Culminating just to be this well versed leader before you
I'll teach you all this in 8 easy steps
In the course of a lifetime, I never forgot
I'll show you how to in 8 easy steps
I'll show you how leaderships were taught by the best
how to lie to yourself and thereby to
everyone else
how to keep smiling when you're thinking of killing yourself
how to know them all the too well by going with them
how to stay stuck in your life hating them
I'll teach you all this in 8 easy steps
In the course of a lifetime, I never forgot
I'll show you how to in 8 easy steps
I'll show you how leaderships were taught by the best
So-called
Chaos
Alanis Morissette
Deadlines, meetings and contracts all breached
D-days and structure responsibility
Have-to's and need-to's and get-to's
by three
Eleventh hours and upset employees
I want to be naked, running through the
streets
I want to invite this so called chaos, that you’d think I dare not be
I want to be weightless, flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations and return to who I was meant to be
Heartburn and headaches and soon-to-be
ulcers
Compulsive yearnings non-stop to please others
I want to be naked, running through the
streets
I want to invite this so called chaos, that you’d think I dare not be
I want to be weightless, flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations at the shoes upon my feet
All wont be lost if I’m governed
by my own uniqueness
Stop lights won't work I'll get home sound and safe regardless
Won’t deem me had if I'm led by my own rulelessness
My fire wont quell and I’ll be harm-free and distressless
Trust me
Line towing, and helping, expectations
up to living
Inside box obeying, inside line cutting
I want to be naked, running through the
streets
I want to invite this so called chaos, that you’d think I dare not be
I want to be weightless, flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations at the shoes upon my feet
I want to be naked, running through the streets
I want to invite this so called chaos, that you’d think I dare not be
I want to be weightless, flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations and return to who I was meant to be

Would
Not Come
Alanis Morissette
If I make a lot of tinsel then people will want to
If I am hardened no fear of further abandonment
If I am famous then maybe I'll feel good in this skin
If I am cultured my words will somehow garner respect
I would throw a party still
it would not come
I would bike run swim and still
it would not come
I'd go traveling and still
it would not come
I would starve myself and still
it would not come
If I am masculine I will be taken more seriously
If I take a break it would make me irresponsible
If I'm elusive I will surely be sought after often
If I need assistance then I must be incapable
I'd be filthy rich and still
it would not some
I would seduce then and still
it would not come
I would drink vodka and still
it would not come
I'd have an orgasm and still
it wouldn't come
If I accumulate knowledge
I'll be impenetrable
If I am aloof no one will know
when they strike a nerve
If I keep my mouth shut the boat
will not have to be rocked
If I am vulnerable I will be
trampled upon
I would go shopping and still
it would not come
I'd leave the country and still
it would not come
I would scream and rebel and still
it would not come
I would stuff my face and still
it would not come
I'd be productive and still it would not come
I'd be celebrated still it would not come
I'd be the hero and still it would not come
I'd renunciate and still it would not come

Addicted
Juliana Hatfield
I think i'm addicted (addicted).
Gotta have it every day.
I think i'm addicted (addicted).
Diggin' up what i threw away.
My body is a shell.
A broke an empty shell.
A chemical well.
A little private hell.
I can't take this lying down.
I can't handle this waitin' around.
Karl wallenda said it right.
Walkin' a wire is the only life.
I think i'm addicted (addicted).
I got an insatiable need.
I think i'm addicted (addicted).
Finally it happened to me.
The skeleton trees
Remind me of me.
They've got no leaves
To make the air we breathe.
I can't take this lying down.
I can't handle this waitin' around.
Hack another year off my life.
Take my money, take my knife.
I don't wanna die.
I don't wanna die.
Don't watch me cry.
I don't wanna die.
I can't take this lying down.
I can't handle this waitin' around.
Hack another year off my life.
Take my money, take my knife.

Get Off Your Knees
Juliana Hatfield
You taste little bits that wouldn't digest
And you shit 'em out of your system
You grab hands, squeeze, then let it go
Drop it and watch it fall away like snow
Yearning for a drug that doesn't exist
Using your mouth like a fist
That smile can't even show on your face
You gotta get out of this place
Like the noose snared to your leg don't
fit
Though even if you found the key you can't
Get off your knees and repeat after me
The devil rocks my soul
Accept the fact that he didn't die
And you'll begin to go
There's a lump in my throat that won't
go away
I'm gonna rip it out
I'm gonna kill desire and knock it down.
You'll be under my foot down on the ground
You're trying to get the picture
When there's nothing really to get
You're running around in the desert trying to get wet
You're wanting to hold on tight
When there's nothing really to hold
Stop that train of thought that drives you into the cold
Get off your knees and repeat after me
The devil rocks my soul
Accept the fact that he didn't die
And you'll begin to go
Get off your knees and repeat after me
The devil rocks my soul
Accept the fact that he didn't die
And you'll begin to go

Ugly
Juliana Hatfield
I don't look at faces, i look at my feet
I'm all alone when i walk down the street
I'm in the kitchen 'cos i can't take the heat
I wanna leave but i stay in my seat
'cos i'm ugly with a capital u
And i don't need a mirror to see that it's true
Ask me a question then i will mess up,
ooh
I'll tell a lie and i'll never fess up
I'm pretty lost but i don't wanna be found
No no no no no
My tiny screams don't make a sound, no
'cos i'm ugly with a capital u
And i don't need a mirror to see that it's true
'cos i'm ugly with a capital u
And i need nobody to tell me the truth
Artist: Juliana Hatfield
Album: Juliana's Pony: Total System Failure
Title: The Victim
Someone knocked me up again
Will they blame the victim
When i throw the baby in the trash?
No one said i can't do that
Maybe we should have some
Get born with a drug problem
I don't think about the future
I think about the pain
I scream at the father to shoot me up again
Help me with my diet
The other brats they won't be quiet
Can someone give me something
To make me beautiful and thin?
A plastic surgeon maybe
Could suck the fat right out of me
And if i die or if it hurts
I can sue somebody for all he's worth
Who is looking out for me
When i close my eyes and leap?
It's my life to lead but it's not my responsibility
Who is looking out for me
When i close my eyes and leap?
It's my mind and body
But it's not my responsibility

Congratulations
Juliana Hatfield
I have a sweet creamy warm little jelly roll.
I have a mind to just let my whole body go.
Thought i was hungry but now i don't really know.
If you don't want it you simply just say no.
I ain't an animal, lovable, huggable.
You look so human but hey one can never tell.
I got no secrets and i think that you should know
Life ain't a party, it's not like a video.
"i am" he said to me "equally wary."
I don't know what i like only know what
i don't.
I don't like what i know only love what i don't.
I know the fire but none of the afterglow.
Killing the irony that's ruining rock+roll.
"i am" he said to me "equally wary."
Thinking of you as i lick the crumbs
off the floor.
Congratulations are due as you shut the door.
Never began and so nor will it ever end.
Only desire, desire not anything more.
I am he. he is me.
I am he. he is me.
Doo doo doo...

Oh baby, if you only knew
I'm down to 102
Oh baby if you only knew
I don't know what to do
I had a hole in my heart
So I threw away my plate
'Cause nothing filled my up
No matter what I ate
I'm wasting away, its true
I hate myself
And I love you
Oh babe if you only knew
Whenever I think I think of you
Oh babe if you only knew
Feed Me, I'm hungry
Oh babe, I'm hungry...

End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your deaths construction
[chorus:]
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How i'm killing you
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master
Master of puppets i'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause i'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, `cause i'll hear you scream

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
[chorus]
Master, master, where's the dreams that
i've been after?
Master, master, you promised only lies
Laughter, laughter, all i hear and see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries
Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season

life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell i feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone
No one but me can save myself, but it's
too late
Now i can't think, think why i should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now i will just say good-bye
Creep
Radiohead
When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts, I wanna have
control
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice, when I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here, ohhh ohhhh
She's running out the door...
She's running out, she's run, run, run, run....run....
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
Me
& Mia
Ted Leo & the Pharmacists
As I was walking through a life one morning
the sun was out, the air was warm, but
Oh, I was cold
And though I must have looked half a person,
to tell the tale, in my own version,
It was only then that I felt whole
But do you believe in something beautiful?
Then get up and be it
Fighting for the smallest goal: to get
a little self-contol
I know how hard you try. I see it in your eyes
But call your friends, 'cause we've forgotten what it's like to eat what's rotten
And what's eating you alive might help you to survive.
We went on as we were on a mission, latest in a Grand Tradition
And oh, what did we find?
It was Ego who was flying the banner, and me and Mia, Ann and Ana
Oh, we'd been unkind
But do you believe in something beautiful?
Then get up and be it
Fighting for the smallest goal: to get
a little self-control
I see it in your eyes, I see it in your spine.
But call your friends,
'cause we've forgotten what it's like to eat what's rotten
And what's eating you alive, might help you to survive.
And even the nights, they can get better
And even the days ain't all that bad
And after a week of fighting, as more and more it seems the right thing
But do you believe in something beautiful?
Then get up and be it
Fighting for the smallest goal: to gain
a little self-control
Won't anybody here just let you disappear?
Not doctors, nor your mom nor dad, but me and Mia, Ann and Ana
Know how hard you try. Don't you see it in my eyes?
Sick to death of my dependence, fighting food to find transcendence
Fighting to survive, more dead but more alive
Cigarettes and speed to live, and sleeping pills to feel forgiven
All that you contrive, and all that you're deprived
All the bourgeois social angels telling you you've got to change
Don't have any idea. They'll never see so clear.
But don't forget what it really means to hunger strike
when you don't really need to
Some are dying for a cause, but that don't make it yours.
And even the nights, they can get better.
Precious burden I capture deep inside
What would my life be without pain in me?
I rely on what you need, devour what you feed
'Cause what I try to breed is me in you
There's no one else to blame, this is my favourite pain
And all I want to gain is myself in you
Wrath is glowing now through my sunken eyes
Pain is growing I'm jaded from your lies
I don't know why but it's the best way to die
You are the trigger and my deepest desire
I'm losing you, but you will always be mine
Promise me now that you will enter my mind, enter my mind, enter my mind...
