A Spattering of My Favorites

[Hallie]

Reminds me of my situation with my son. Tearjerker.

Soon You'll Come Home[/u]
Performed by Lana Beeson

All I have is a picture in my mind how it would be
If we were together
Let's pretend that you're far away
Let's say you write to me
And you promise in your letter
That you'll come home
Come home to my heart
When you come home
We'll never be apart
If I keep dreaming of you
Start believing it's true
Soon you'll come home
Soon you'll come home
Soon you'll come home
To my heart

Soon you'll come home
Home to my heart
Soon you'll come home
Home to my heart
If I believe...

Champaigne Supernova[/u]
Oasis

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high

Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye

Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you when we were getting high

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova

'Cause people believe
That they're gonna
Get away for the summer

But you and I
We live and die
The world's still spinning 'round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high

Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova

'Cause people believe
That they're gonna
Get away for the summer

But you and I
We live and die
The world's still spinning 'round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high

We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high

Control[/u]
Puddle of Mudd

I love the way you look at me
I feel the pain you place inside
Lock me up inside your dirty cage
While I'm alone inside my mind

I like to teach you all the rules
I'd get to see them set in stone
I like it when you chain me to the bed
There your secrets never shone

I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can't control you
You're not the one for me, no

I can't control you
You can't control me
I need to feel you
So why's it involve

I love the way you rape my skin
I feel the hate you place inside
I need to get your voice out of my head
Cause I'm the guy you'll never find

I'm faking all of the rules
There's no expressions on your face
I'm hoping some day you will let me go
Release me from my dirty cage

I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can't control you
You're not the one for me, no

I can't control you
You can't control me
I need to feel you
So why's it involve you and me

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can't control you
You're not the one for me, no

I can't control you
You can't control me
I need to feel you
So why's it involve you and me

You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no

Bullet With Butterfly Wings[/u]
Smashing Pumpkins

The world is a vampire
Sent to drain
Secret destroyers
Hold you up to the plains

And what do I get
For my pain
Betrayed desires
And a piece of game

Even though I know
I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold
Like old Job

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

Someone once said
What is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked
Not been nothing but an animal
But can you fake it
For just one more show

And what do you want
I want to change
And what have you got
When you feel the same

Even though I know
I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold
Like old Job

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

Someone once said
What is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son, yeah
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was the only son for you

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

Someone once said
What is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son for you

And I still believe that
I cannot be saved
Yeah, and I still believe that
I cannot be saved

I still believe that
I cannot be saved
And I still believe that
I cannot be saved

Everybody Hurts[/u]
R.E.M.

When the day is long
And the night
The night is yours alone

When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life
Well hang on

Don't let yourself go
Everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone
If you feel like letting go

When you think you've had too much
Of this life
Well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts

Don't throw your hand
Oh, no
Don't throw your hand

If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no
You are not alone

If you're on your own
In this life
The days and nights are long

When you think you've had too much
Of this life
To hang on

Well, everybody hurts
And everybody cries
And everybody hurts, sometimes
And everybody hurts, sometimes

So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on

[Hallie]

It's Been Awhile[/u]
Staind

It's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been a while
Since I first saw you

And it's been a while
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been a while
Since I could you

But everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

It's been a while
Since I could say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been a while
Since I could say I love myself as well

And it's been a while
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been a while
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

But everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again, again

Why must I feel this way
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day

It's been a while
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been a while
Since I said I'm sorry

And it's been a while
Since I've seen the way the candle lights your face
And it's been a while
But I can still remember just the way you taste

But everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be, I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

It's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been a while since I said
I'm sorry

Fall to Pieces[/u]
Velvet Revolver

It's been a long year
Since you've been gone
I've been alone here
I've grown old

Fall to pieces
I'm falling
Fell to pieces
And I'm still falling

Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces

I keep a journal
Of memories
I'm feeling lonely
I can't breathe

Fall to pieces
I'm falling
Fell to pieces
And I'm still falling

Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces
Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces

Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces

All the years I've tried
With more to go
Will the memories die
I'm waiting

Will I find you
Can I find you
We're falling down
I'm falling

Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces
Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces

Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces
Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces

Undone - The Sweater Song[/u]
Weezer

I'm me
Me be
Goddamn
I am

I can
Sing and
Hear me
Know me

If you want to destroy my sweater
Hold this thread as I walk away

Oh no
It go
It gone
Bye bye

Who I
I think
I sink
And I die

If you want to destroy my sweater (woah oh woah)
Hold this thread as I walk away (as I walk away)
Watch me unravel, I'll soon be naked (lying on the floor)
Lying on the floor, I've come undone

If you want to destroy my sweater (woah oh woah)
Hold this thread as I walk away (as I walk away)
Watch me unravel, I'll soon be naked (lying on the floor)
Lying on the floor, I've come undone

If you want to destroy my sweater
(I don't want to destroy your tank-top)
Hold this thread as I walk away
(Let's be friends and just walk away)
Watch me unravel, I'll soon be naked
(It's good to see you lying there in your Superman skivvies)
Lying on the floor (lying on the floor)
I've come undone

Better Man[/u]
Pearl Jam

Waiting
Watching the clock
It's four o'clock
It's got to stop

Tell him
Take no more
She practices her speech
As he opens the door
She rolls over
Pretends to sleep
As he looks her over

She lies and says she's in love with him
Can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man, oh

Talking
To herself
"There's no one else who
Needs to know"
She tells herself, oh

Memories back
When she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along
Swears she knew him
Now she swears he's gone

She lies and says she's in love with him
Can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red
Can't find a better man

She lies and says she still loves him
Can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man

She loved him, yeah
She don't want to leave this way
She feeds him, yeah
That's why she'll be back again

Can't find a better man (can't find a better man)
Can't find a better man (can't find a better man)
Can't find a better man (can't find a better man)
Can't find a better man

Oh yeah

Oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh

Ah uh
Ah uh
Ah uh
Ah uh

Don't Speak[/u]
No Doubt

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together
Always

I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end

It looks as though
You're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts

Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether mighty
Frightening

As we die
Both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
(No, no, no)

Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending
Who we are

You and me
I can see us dying
Are we

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
(No, no, no)

Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't tell me cause it hurts

I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't speak
Don't speak

Don't speak, oh
I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good
I know you're good
I know you're real good, oh

La la la la
La la la la
La la la la

Don't
Don't
Uh-huh
Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush

Don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush
Don't tell me
Tell me cause it hurts

Enter Sandman[/u]
Metallica

Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land

Crawling[/u]
Linkin Park

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling, I can't seem

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
That there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
That there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming (confusing what is real)
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling (confusing what is real)

Signs[/u]
Tesla

And the sign says
"Long hair freaky people
Need not apply"

So I put my hair under my hat
And I went in
To ask him why

He said you looklike a fine
Outstanding young man
I think you'll do

So I took off my hat
I said "Imagine that
Me working for you"

Signs, signs
Everywhere there's signs
Fucking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign

And the sign says
"Anybody caught trespassing
Will be shot on sight"

So I jumped the fence
And I yelled at the house
Hey, what gives you the right

To put up a fence
And keep me out
Or to keep Mother Nature in

If God was here
He'd tell it to your face
Man, you're some kind of sinner

Signs, signs
Everywhere there's signs
Fucking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign

Oh, say now mister
Can't you read
You got to have a shirt
And tie to get a seat

You can't watch
No you can't eat
You ain't supposed to be here

And the sign says
"You got to have a membership card
To get inside"

And the sign says
"Everybody welcome
Come in, kneel down and pray"

But then they passed around a plate
At the end of it all
And I didn't have a penny to pay

So I got me a pen and paper
And I made up my own fucking sign
I said, thank you Lord for thinking about me
I'm alive and doing fine

Signs, signs
Everywhere there's signs
Fucking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign

Signs, signs
Everywhere there's signs
Fucking up the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign

My Immortal[/u]
Evanescence

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childhood fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating mind
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice has chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

I tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

[Hallie]

The World Is Not Enough[/u]
Garbage

I know how to hurt
I know how to heal
I know what to show
And what to conceal

I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No one ever died
From wanting to much

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect
Place to start, my love

And if you're strong enough
Together we can take
The world apart, my love

People like us
Know how to survive
There's no point in living
If you can't feel the life

We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect
Place to start, my love

And if you're strong enough
Together we can take
The world apart, my love

(Ah)
I feel sick
(Ah)
I feel scared

(Ah)
I feel ready
(Ah)
And yet unprepared

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect
Place to start, my love

And if you're strong enough
Together we can take
The world apart, my love

The world is not enough
The world is not enough

[Hallie]

One[/u]
Creed

Affirmative may be justified
Take from one give to another
The goal is to be unified
Take my hand be my brother

The payment silenced the masses
Sanctified by oppression
Unity took a backseat
Sliding further into regression

One, oh woah
The only way is one
One, oh woah
The only way is one

I feel angry, I feel helpless
Want to change the world, yeah
I feel violent, I feel alone
Don't try and change my mind, no

Society blind by color
Why hold down one to raise another
Discrimination now on both sides
Seeds of hate blossom further

The world is heading for mutiny
When all we want is unity
We may rise and fall but in the end
We meet our fate together

One, oh woah
The only way is one
One, oh woah
The only way is one

I feel angry, I feel helpless
Want to change the world, yeah
I feel violent, I feel alone
Don't try and change my mind, no

I feel angry, I feel helpless
Want to change the world, yeah
I feel violent, I feel alone
Don't try and change my mind, no

Woah oh, oh yeah
Woah oh oh oh oh, oh yeah

I feel angry, I feel helpless
Want to change the world, yeah
I feel violent, I feel alone
Don't try and change my mind, no

I feel angry, I feel helpless
Want to change the world, yeah
I feel violent, I feel alone
Don't try and change my mind

Wake Me Up When September Ends[/u]
Green Day

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up
When September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up
When September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up
When September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up
When September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up
When September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up
When September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up
When September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up
When September ends

Wake me up
When September ends
Wake me up
When September ends

Save Me[/u]
Remy Zero

I feel my wings have broken
In your hands
I feel the words unspoken
Inside
When they pull you under
And I would give you any thing you want
You were all I wanted
All my dreams are falling down
Crawling round and round and round

Somebody save me
Let your waters break right through
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just save, save
Come on
I've been waiting for you

I see the world has folded in your heart
I feel the waves crash down inside
And they pull me under
And I would give you anything you want
You were all I wanted
All my dreams have fallen down
Crawling round and round and round

Somebody save me
Let your waters break right through
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just save, save
Come on
I've been waiting for you

All my dreams are on the ground
Crawling' round and round and round

Somebody save me
Let your waters break right through
Somebody save me
I don't' care how you do it
Just save me, save me
I've made this whole world shine for you
Just save, save
Come on
I'm still waiting for you

Last Resort[/u]
Papa Roach

Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck
If I cut my arm bleeding

This is my last resort

Cut my life into pieces
I've reached my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck
If I cut my arm bleeding
Do you even care
If I died bleeding?

Would it be wrong
Would it be right
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight
And I'm contemplating suicide

Cause I'm losing my sight,
Losing my mind,
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight,
Losing my mind,
Wish somebody would tell I'm fine

I never realized
I was spread too thin
Till it was too late
And I was empty within
Hungry feeding on chaos and living in sin
Downward spiral, where do I begin
It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself
And no love for another
Searching to find a love upon a higer level
Finding nothing but questions and devils

Cause I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind,
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight,
Losing my mind,
Wish somebody would tell I'm fine

Nothing's alright
Nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying

I can't go on living this way

Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck
If I cut my arm bleeding
Would it be wrong
Would it be right?
If I took my life tonight
Chancers are that I might.
Mutilation out of sight.
And I'm contemplating suicide.

Cause I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind,
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebode would tell me I'm fine

Nothing's alright
Nothing is fine

I'm running and I'm crying

I can't go on living this way

Can't go on
Living this way
Nothing's al...right

Superman (It's Not Easy)[/u]
Five For Fighting

I can't stand to fly, I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find the better part of me
I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train, and it's not easy to be me.

I wish that I could cry, fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie about a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd, but don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed, but wont you conceive
Even heroes have the right to dream, and it's not easy to be me.

Up ahead, away away from me
Well it's all right, you can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy, or anything.

I can't stand to fly, I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride with clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet, digging for Kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man on this one way street looking for special things inside of me.

I'm only a man looking for a dream
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet, and it's not easy..
It's not easy to be... me.
