"All the blue light
reflections that cover my mind in my sleep
And the love sick rejections that accompany the company I keep
All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
Hey I can bleed as well as anyone, but I need someone to help me sleep"
-Counting Crows "Mrs.Potter's Lullaby"
Tool
“I choose to live and to grow
Take and give and to move
Learn and love and to cry
Kill and die and to be paranoid
And to lie, hate and fear and to do
What it takes to move through”

The older I get, the closer you are
Don't you have somewhere that you need to be
Instead of hanging here making a fool of me."
-Sheryl Crow "The Difficult Kind"
“Who made up the myth
That we were born to be covered in bliss
Who set the standard, born to be rich
Such fine examples, skinny little bitch
Model, role model, roll some models in blood
Get some flesh to stick, so they’ll look like us
I shit and I stink, I’m real, join the club”
-Pearl Jam “Satan’s Bed”
"I let the beast in too soon
I don't know how to live
Without my hand on its throat;
I fight him always and still"

Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience everything you need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fuckin gone"
