I have this group of songs running through my head on repeat lately, and this is my favorite of the bunch.
Caught in a mirror
Looking through sympathetic eyes
I’ll come to the conclusion
That believers are sinners in disguise
And I was blind
So if you ask me
I’ll keep saying that I am fine
So just don’t ask
And if you see […]
Life’s just a game we all wanna win.
Keep your hand a secret, unleash the monsters within!
Sometimes it’s over before it’s even begun.
If someone else gets hurt then, what have you really won?
I’m always one card short, always one day late!
For once I’d like an ending I can celebrate.
Stacked the deck myself, so there’s no one […]
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
confusing stars with satellites
I never dreamed that you’d be mine
But here we are, we’re here tonight
Singing Amen, I, I’m alive (I’m alive)
Singing Amen, I, I’m alive
[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we’d see the day, when nobody […]
(It’s been running through my head lately.)
Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage
Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact
Living in the limelight
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be
Must put […]
It’s been forever since I’ve shared some song lyrics over here, but I recently introduced a new friend to this song and kind of felt the need to share it with more people. Take a lesson from it if you like….
(shared without the band’s permission, but ESB is more than welcome to tell me to […]
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of a could-be
And if I’d end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
Trying not to reach out
But when I’d try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I […]
Take a look at my bodyLook at my handsThere’s so much here that I don’t understandYour face-saving promisesWhispered like prayersI don’t need them
‘Cause I’ve been treated so wrong,I’ve been treated so longAs if I’m becoming untouchable
Well, contempt loves the silence, it thrives in the darkWith fine winding tendrils that strangle the heartThey say that promises […]
I’m quite contented to take my chances
Against the Guildensterns & Rosenkrantzes
It’s a matter of Cain & Abel
And I can feel your knee underneath the table
He doesn’t dangle by the seraphim
He only wants a pretty face by him so
How could you want him when you know you could have me?
See the pigeons peck & peck to […]
Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder.
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping tom for the mother station
Winter’s cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite
Satellite, headlines read
Someone’s secrets you’ve seen
Eyes and ears have been
Satellite dish […]
