- I am looking past the shadows
Of my mind into the truth and
I'm trying to identify
The voices in my head
-- "Breathing", Lifehouse
- Close your eyes and dream
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you want
Just tell me that you'll wait for me
-- "Boston and St. John's", Great Big Sea
- Stand by the stairway
You'll see something
Certain to tell you confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying
It's loose in a lady who lingers
Saying she is lost
And choking on hello
-- "Helplessly Hoping", Crosby, Stills, and Nash
- No I never meant to cause you pain
no I never meant to hurt you
all I want to do now, is to try my best
survivors in the night
-- "Survivors", Phil Collins
- You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say
-- "Everything You Want", Vertical Horizon
- Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin’ anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
-- "Don't Stop Believin'", Journey
- Let’s dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait we’re only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
-- "Forever Young", Alphaville
- Look in . . . to the eye of the storm.
-- "Force Ten", Rush
Okay, that was self-involved and useless.
- All of my songs can only be composed of the greatest of pains
Every single verse can only be born of the greatest of wishes
-- "Beauty of the Beast", Nightwish
(Oh, shut up, Kira.)
