Hate can be a positive emotion
When it forces you to better yourself
You built me, constructed my desire
Perfected my hatred
Now I'm driven to be ten times better than you think you are.
So I say thank you for the scars
And the guilt
And the pain
Every tear I've never cried
Has sealed your fucking fate
What did you take me for, a fool?
Or were you just too blind to see
That every effort made has failed
And there is no destroying me!
Piece by piece I've built my walls
And burned the bridges down
That lead back to people like you
So full of malice, so full of scorn
You tried your best to crush my spirit
You tried to steal my soul
You pushed my back against the wall
And I broke it down
I will not be broken
Though I am the one who bleeds

ARMOR FOR SLEEP LYRICS

"Raindrops"

You appear like raindrops
And live like you sink through
The streets that you fall on
The cars that slip on you
All of this for just one night

Suffocate me, all you need,
I won’t breathe but it’s okay
You’ll be somewhere around me
And I won’t need air

The clouds will break my house
And throw me from my room
I’ll drown in the rainfall
And float till I find you

You appear like raindrops
And live like you sink through
The streets that you fall on
The cars that slip on you
All of this for just one night

Suffocate me, all you need,
I won’t breathe but it’s okay
You’ll be somewhere around me
And I won’t need air

And I won’t need air
And I won’t need air
And I won’t need air
And I won’t need air

Suffocate me, all you need,
I won’t breathe but its okay
You’ll be somewhere around me
And I won’t need air

Suffocate me, all you need,
I won’t breathe but its okay
You’ll be somewhere around me
And I won’t need air

Don Henley (Eagles) "Heart Of The Matter"
I got the call today, I didnt wanna hear
But I knew that it would come.
An old, true friend of ours was talkin on the phone
She said youd found someone.
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you.
What are these voices outside loves open door?
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?
Im learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes.
The more I know, the less I understand.
All the things I thought I knew, Im learning again.
Ive been tryin to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness...Forgiveness
Even if, even if you dont love me anymore
These times are so uncertain,
Theres a yearning undefined.
And people filled with rage.
We all need a little tenderness.
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
Theyre the very things - we kill I guess
Pride and competition
Cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
You know it doesnt keep me warm
Im learning to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
And the more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought Id figured out
I have to learn again
Ive been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness...Forgiveness
Even if, even if you dont love me anymore
There are people in your life whove come and gone
They let you down you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you baby; life goes on
You keep carryin that anger; itll eat you up inside, baby
Ive been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thought seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness...Forgiveness
Even if, even if you dont love me
Ive been tryin to get down
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So Im thinkin about forgiveness...Forgiveness
Even if, even if you dont love me anymore

Edwin McCain- I'll be
"The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful...
Stop me and steal my breath.
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards
the sky...Never revealing their depth.
Tell me that we belong together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips...Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.
I'll Be your cryin' shoulder
I'll Be love suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan of your life
Rain falls angry on the tin roof,
As we lie awake in my bed.
You're My Survival, You're My Living Proof My love is alive and not dead.
I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead.
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the things you, said.
I'll Be your cryin' shoulder
I'll Be love suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan of your life"

EMERY- PONYTAIL PARADES
"Three sleepless nights
this isn't how its supposed to be...but you are so good at taking your time to get back to me...
I will wait for you forever,
if you would just ask me.
I thought that I could change you...
but you changed me.
But it doesn't feel right
holding someone else's hand.
Together on phone line
and living at two opposite ends.
But you're head is elsewhere and i'm talking enough for both of us.
When will you see it's not so easy for me? (I fall from your eyes, your eyes I trusted, you said forever)
I never thought that you could say these words...is this really happening?
erase my name from this page.
How can you take all these days and throw them away?
If you are still pretending this is what's right, why cant you look at me?
Can you only see sides?"

FINE BY ME- BAD DAY
"love turns to hate, hate turns to you, a nightmare comes true, im losing you, leave me here to hurt, hurt me as you leave, stab my heart please! you broke my heart today, you traded me in, i wait for this time away from my life, never in my life have i felt this way before, my feelings taking over, my mind hits the floor, you tell me you care about what hurts me, but then you walked away, you showed me how you felt and left me on a bad day, you teased me of this so called 'love', you led me on this fantasy, then you turned your back on me, the truth comes out and falls on me"

Emery-Fractions
"It's good to see you
(I missed you last night)
that's such a lovely color
(It goes with your eyes)
before we fall asleep
(I just wanted to say)
this all seems so easy
but there's choices to make
can't decide, then look at the faces
(candlelight)
we're burning the pages
(but ask us why)
and hurting ourselves with this false start...resign yourself
and always be (and we pretend)
without the one (it simply gets easier)
thing you need (but it doesn't get easier)
reading words with no replies
stopping we's and starting I's
this need is killing me
when we have these mornings where we can say goodbye...
I wanted to mean everything to you
but this isn't right
you keep coming back disassembled and I keep losing this fight"
