Forgiveness - Collective Soul

In my silence I would love
To forget
Restitution hasn’t come
Quite yet

And with one accord
I keep pushing forth
I stretch my heart
To heal some more

It used to be all I wanted
To learn
Was wisdom, trust, and truth
By now all I really want
To learn
Is forgiveness for you

As my seasons change I’ve now
Grown to know
When one’s heart creates, one’s soul
Doesn’t owe

So I wash away
Stains of yesterday
Then tempt my heart
With love's display

It used to be all I wanted
To learn
Was wisdom, trust, and truth
By now all I really want
To learn
Is forgiveness for you

Listen - Collective Soul

I'm a bit angry with myself for almost forgetting how much I fucking love Collective Soul







You're now thirsty
Walking in the desert all alone
You're now searching
Lost in isolation from your soul

When the bullets you bite
From the pain you request
You're finding them harder to digest
When the answers you seek
Are the ones you destroy
Your anger's well deployed

Why can't you listen
Why can't you hear
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere

You now hunger
Feeding your mind with selfishness
You now wander
Aimlessly around your consciousness

When your prophecies fail
When your thoughts become weak
Silence creates necessity
And you're clothing yourself
With the shields of despair
Your courage now impaired

Why can't you listen
Why can't you hear
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere

You crucify
All honesty
No signs you see
Do you believe
And all your words
Just twist and turn
Reviving just to crash and burn
You're fighting till
The bitter end
If only your heart could
Open ...
... Up and ...
... Listen

Why can't you listen
Why can't you hear
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere

Why can't you listen
Why can't you hear
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere

Disease - Matchbox Twenty

Ah, this song has been my anthem at times...







Feels like you made a mistake
You made somebody’s heart break
But now I have to let you go
I have to let you go

You left a stain
On every one of my good days
But I am stronger than you know
I have to let you go

No one’s ever turned you over
No one’s tried
To ever let you down
Beautiful girl
Bless your heart

I got a disease
Deep inside me
Makes me
Feel uneasy baby
I can’t live without you
Tell me what I am supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from it
Don’t pay no attention to me
I got a disease

Feels like you’re making a mess
You’re hell on wheels in a black dress
You drove me to the fire
And left me there to burn

Every little thing you do is tragic
All my life, oh was magic
Beautiful girl
I can’t breathe

I got a disease
Deep inside me
Makes me
Feel uneasy baby
I can’t live without you
Tell me what I am supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from it
Don’t pay no attention to me
I got a disease

Well I think that I’m sick
But leave me be
While my world is coming down on me
You taste like honey, honey
Tell me can I be your honey
Be, be strong
Keep telling myself it that won’t take long till
I’m free of my disease
Yeah, well free of my disease
Free of my disease

Well, I got a disease
Deep inside me
Makes me
Feel uneasy baby
I can’t live without you
Tell me what I am supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from it
Don’t pay no attention to me
I got a disease

Well, I think that I’m sick
But leave me be
While my world is coming down on me
You taste like honey, honey
Tell me can I be your honey
Be, be strong
Keep telling myself it that won’t take long till
I’m free of my disease
Yeah, free of my disease
Set me free of my disease

In a Moment - Collective Soul

Ed Roland is a truly evolved individual. God I love these guys.

I miss Ross :-(

The walls came up as the thoughts went down
To the hush of disparity
Sure we know the problem lies
With some insecurities

But we'll never see eye to eye
As long as our tongues are tied
And we'll never be seen as one
Until we find love

In a moment
It could happen
We could wake up
And be laughing
In a moment
It could happen
We could forgive
And be happy

It's a shame our world responds to life
As a puzzle in disguise
I wish our course would lead us towards
The peace and loving kind

But we'll never walk hand in hand
Until we let old wounds mend
And we'll never sing songs as one
Until we find love

In a moment
Some wisdom could be learned
In a moment
New voices could be heard
In a moment
We could make heads turn
In a moment
We could change

Slippin' Out - Ingram Hill

One of my favs by the Ingram Hill boys...






Walkin' in my sleep again
Where were you
Off in some distant land
Was I with you

Slippin' out again
Slippin' out again
Slippin' out again

Take my hand
Let it all go down
Till I am sound asleep
Walk away
Out in the cold
Open your soul
To me

Walkin' in my sleep again
I am here
Run with me if you can
I feel you near

Slippin' out again
Slippin' out again
Slippin' out again

Take my hand
Let it all go down
Till I am sound asleep
Walk away
Out in the cold
Open your soul
To me

Well I don't know where I am again
Find my way back to the bends
Now I will find you

Slippin' out again
Slippin' out again
Slippin' out again

Take my hand
Let it all go down
Till I am sound asleep
Walk away
Out in the cold
Open your soul
To me

Take my hand
Let it all go down
Till I am sound asleep
Walk away
Out in the cold
Open your soul
To me (x4)

Come What May - Moulin Rouge Soundtrack

God Ewan McGregor has a beautiful voice. Nicole Kidman's not too shabby either... I love this song....










Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more

Listen to my heart can you hear it sing
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dieing day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and
I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you (I love you)
Until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dieing day

Oh, come what may
Come what may
I will love you

I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dieing day

Hangin' Around Again - Ingram Hill

Geez I love his voice, and he's a great songwriter as well. His name is Justin Moore...






Hangin' around again,
In the shadow of your broken love
You let me down again,
And I'm drownin' in the damage done
Hangin' around again,
My broken love left in your hand

Until you say you're not afraid
To let me steal your heart
Or that you'll say a prayer for me
In your bed at night
Or that you'll save a page for me
In the book of your life

But now I'm Hangin' around again
Waiting for you to see my light
You let me down again
Cause you made me dream of you all night

And so I'll play my song for you
And make it yours
So I can stay in your life always
Til the end of time
Or that you'll save a page for me
In the book of your life

Sometimes I
Don't know why I hang around anymore
Hoping you'll love like you haven't before
Waitin' for you to come out of your shelter
Wanting to hold you

Hangin' around again
waiting for you to see my light
You let me down again
Cause you make me dream of you all night
Hangin' around again
My broken love left in your hand
Hangin' around again
Hanging' around again....
