Para que me curaste cuando estaba herio.
Si hoy me dejas de nuevo el corazón partio.

"you ain't that good is what you said down to the letter,
But you like the way I hold a microphone.
Sometimes I'm good, but when I'm bad I'm even better,
Don't give me no lip, I've got enough of my own."

--Aerosmith -- "Falling in Love (is So Hard on the Knees)"

Lost inside those big brown eyes,
Your lips touch mine and my eyes go blind."

[carsonshepherd]

I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun

Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around

jesus etc.

"So she fills up her sails with my wasted breath. And each one's more wasted than the others, you can bet." -- Gin Blossoms

"She dances while my father plays guitar. She's suddenly beautiful. And we all want something beautiful. Man, I wish I was beautiful." -- Counting Crows

"'There's room at the top,' they are tellin' ya still. But, first you must learn to smile as you kill if you want to be like the folks on the hill." -- John Lennon

Relax said the nightman,
we are programmed to receive
you can get out any time you like
but you can never leave.

i had this dream where i relished the fray and the screaming filled my head all day. it was as though i had been spit here, settled
in, into the pocket of a lighthouse on some rocky socket, off the coast of france, dear. one afternoon, four thousand men died
in the water here and five hundred more were thrashing madly as parasites might in your blood.

"She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart shaped box for a week
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish that I could eat your cancer when you turn black..."

"If you've never stared off into the distance then your life is a shame"
"All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
Hey, I can bleed as well as anyone but I need someone to help me sleep"
"Well, you can see a million miles tonight but you can't get very far"

-"Mrs. Potter's Lullaby", Counting Crows

"if you wrap yourself in daffodills
i will wrap myself in pain
and if you're the queen of California
baby i am the king of the rain"

-- Counting Crows, "Goodnight Elizabeth"

"Step out the front door like a ghost
into the fog where no one notices
the contrast of white on white."

Counting Crows, "Round here" (Possibly the best song ever written!)

 

[Boota]

"I won't bow, I won't bend, I won't break
I'll tough it out.
I won't budge, I won't deal, I won't change
I'll tough it out."

Webb Wilder, Tough It Out

"Step out the front door like a ghost
into the fog where no one notices
the contrast of white on white."

Counting Crows, "Round here" (Possibly the best song ever written!)

Indeed, though from that song I'd have to say I prefer:

She looks up at the building and says she's thinking of jumping.
Says she's tired of life, she must be tired of something.

From my own large list of favorite Counting Crows lyrics...

We couldn't all be cowboys,
some of us are clowns
Some of us are dancers on the midway
we roam from town to town
I hope that everybody can find a little flame
Me, I say my prayers, then I just light myself on fire
and walk out on the wire once again

~ Goodnight Elizabeth

But I think my favorite one liner would have to be from Melissa Etheridges's "The Late September Dogs"

Damn my soul that remembers and clutches to this pain.

"Everywhere someone's getting over
Everybody cries
And sometimes you can still lose even if you really try
Talking about the dream
Like the dream is over
Talk like that
Won't get you nowhere
Everybody's trusting in the heart
Like the heart don't lie"

Matchbox 20 - "All I Need"

Nice quote, BTW, neo. Nirvana kicks ass...

suffocated love - tricky

Can i take off your clothes
Before we go out
And when you're helpless, i'll scream and shout
We finish everyday
Well, anyway
Sixty-nine degrees
My head's between your knees.
You ask what is this?
Mind your business
It's too good
It's too nice
She makes me finish too quick
Is it love?
No not love
She turns me sexual tricks
She says she's mine, i know she lies
First, i scream, then i cry.
Take a second of me
You beckon, i'll bleed
Take a second of me

"I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts
It’s not easy facin’ up when your whole world is black"

Rolling Stones -- Paint It Black

 

[OhMissScarlett]

I work and don't get paid.
I smoke a lot but can't get laid.
Sit and stare, it's all we do.
All my friends are broken, too.
We're just waiting. Waiting to begin.
-Jawbreaker, Chemistry

 

[SophiaY]

You took my hand in your hands, like a child
And explained to me we’re only here for a while
And you told that the stars, were hungry for your spark
You said don’t weep for what you can’t undo

But I cried you a waterfall
I cried you a storm
I cried you an ocean
Salty and warm

The time we’ve had can never be enough
Why can’t I ever act a little tough
I’m waving as you go
My heart is breaking slow
You smile and say don’t mourn for those you love

But I cried you a waterfall
I cried you a storm
I cried you an ocean
Salty and warm...

Christina Olsen, "Cried you a Waterall"

 

[BlackShanglan]

Well you tried it just for once, found it all right for kicks
But now you've found out that it's a habit that sticks
You're an orgasm addict.

(I just like the description of orgrasm as "a habit that sticks.")
