The Darkness
The darkness, the pain
the despair when you realise that you mean nothing
the hurt of failure
the feeling of emptyness
of holding the worlds problems
of being in hole you cannot get out of
It is a place of unbelieve
of crying like a frightened child
of wondering if it's all worth it
Wondering what if things were could be different if just one was changed in the world

Strong Enough To Break
Well I haven't been myself today
Just a figure in a big Monopoly Game
The struggle is the price you pay
You get just enough just to give it away
There's something 'bout it floating away
Just throw me a line so I can anchor my pain
The fabric is about to fray
The fabric is about to fray
Well maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh I start feeling I'm strong enough to break Oh
You've been running through my mind today
Scenarios to add to your hypocrisy
No one ever takes the blame
But everyone is searching for a cure to the pain
Nothing ever seems to change
Oh nothing ever seems to change
We just play like broken records in a deaf man's charade
Well maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh Ho
Oh carry on just a pawn in this same old song
I'm still holding on
The fabric is about to fray
Well maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Maybe you could take a look at yourself lately
Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stumbling
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Things keep coming and I keep wondering
I start feeling the walls close in
Things keep coming and I keep stopping them
I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh I start feeling I'm strong enough to break
Oh I start feeling I'm strong enough to break

Despair Is Darkness
DESPAIR IS DARKNESS
Despair is darkness-
Despair is death inside and death in the world and death in one’s own sad soul-
Despair is no way out -
Despair is the place where one is forever stuck -
Despair is the realization that one has done what one could – and one is not going anywhere else-
Despair is the admission of failure-
Despair is no sign of help anywhere around-
Despair is so much lost-
Despair is one‘s life is over-
Despair is regret-
Despair is the sense that one will never have the time to have another chance -
Despair is ‘it’s finished’-
Despair is no way out-
Despair is going down and more down and more dark and more afraid all the time -
Despair is the scream which hurts and does not stop the hurting -
Despair is the understanding that even Death will not save one -
Despair is that the pain will never end-not even with death.
Despair is no way out again and again and again- without end.

Your Loss
you dumped me
did you dump your kid too
one day your kid will
want to know about you
your child will ask why
why you dont care
why you dont see him
why arent you there
you child will want to know
everything about you
maybe come looking for you
then what will you do
your child will ask
what has he done
why you dont love him
why did you never come
your child will hurt
as long as he lives
wondering why
and what gives
you must be very
cold inside
hurting a child
why
i can give answers
try make him feel peace
but his
emptyness will never cease
your dumping your child
is mean and cruel
to him, not me
its your loss, you fool

Hole In My Head
Remember yesterday?
Driving down the M4
The sun lit up your face
Playing all the tunes
Feeling like a child again
The pain has been erased
I feel much better anyhow
Until I see that black cloud
I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in
Stop looking in
Hide it all away
Keeping your heart inside a box
That no one else can take
Smile it all away
Holding back a thousand lies
But that was yesterday
I love it when she comes around
Until I see that black cloud
I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in
Got a hole in my head
Got this song in my head
Waiting for the sun to come around
Waiting for the sun to come around
Take another smoke
I though you said you'd given up?
And does your mother know?
Take another rest
Holding out my hand again
I hope that we're still friends
I got a, I got a, I got a, I got a...
I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in
I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in

Dispair
Despair
I sit home sad and not the same,
Crying for hours holding in all the pain.
How you can sit and pretend everything's OK,
Moving on, day by day.
So as I carry my silent guilt,
Wondering if my life can be rebuilt.
The tears I weep when alone,
Behind my wall that has grown.
Reflects the pain that tortures me,
Until I feel to the lowest degree.
The deepest scars of my life inflicted with such pain,
Of the betrayal that prevents me from being whole again.
The trust that once was broken, can it ever be repaired?
To free me from the darkest hours of my silent despair.

Alone with my solitude
I was standing at the edge
Looking at the city lights
Wondering if it would hurt more
To jump or just to live
I felt the cold of the wind
I saw the moon
And I was wondering where you fit in all of this
The truth hit me hard this time
And is still hunting for more
Just to say your name
Is pain
You are just one piece of this wicked puzzle
Called my life
Every day, every night
Just a pain to me
And now I’m standing here
Alone with my solitude
Wondering if I should make the jump

Silent Dispair
Silent Despair
I sit here sad and it's still the same,
Crying for hours holding in all the pain.
How you can sit and pretend everything's OK,
Continue moving on, day after day.
So as I continue to carry my silent guilt,
Wondering if my life can ever be rebuilt.
All the tears I weep when I' m all alone,
Behind my wall that has increasing grown.
Reflects some of the pain that tortures me,
I've tried and tried and can't seem to get free
The deepest scars of my life inflicted with such pain,
Of the betrayal that prevents me from being whole again
.
The trust that now has been broken, is there even a repair?
To free me from the darkest haunts of my silent despair.

Many miles away
Many miles away, my mind can wonder
different things can change
how different i want things to be
at this very stage
as i get home all tired
wondering if a warm smile is waiting to welcome me
but all i get is an empty feeling
and end up crying down to my knees
so many people i want to look up to
so many reasons to try
to be someones little angel
and someone who doesnt make me cry
i wish someone cared about how i feel for once
how i want things to change so much
but realizing later that this is my mind wondering
because things will never change, not even by chance.

On top of the world
The joys of success.
The feeling that you are on top of the world.
The warmth never seems to end.
Past failures seem to be irrelevant.
That is until you fall.
You fall from that throne.
Fear begins to envolope you.
Fear of not knowing when it ends,
and wondering if you can get up when it does.
The chains of failure.
The feeling that they will never be broken
The happy moments are looked at as just dream.
Success was never really achieved.
Staying on top forever is just a fantasy.
Laying in the darkness forever is a choice
To escape the darkness I ask myself one question.
Is the depths of my failure greater the the heights of my success?

I'm Wondering
Jimmy was your sweetie pie
Your precious one
And I knew you used to love
The very ground he walked upon
One day, Jim's papa told him
Things were looking down
And they packed up everything
They owned and left this little old town
Each tear I dried for you,
The closer our lives grew,
I fell in love it's true
And you say you love me, too
Well, don't you know I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Ooh,Baby I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Oh baby
But, baby I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Oh baby I'm wondering,
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved Jim?
The day you see his face again
Or hear his voice
I don't want to be a loser
If you have to make a choice
Like a puppet to a string
To you, girl, I'm attached
And I know I'd be in trouble
If he came and took you back
I feel so insecure
In my mind, I can picture
Losing you for sure
And the pain I can't endure
Oh baby I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Oh baby I'm wondering,
Sure enough, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved Jim?
Ooh Baby
I can't stop loving you, baby,
I can't stop loving you , no
I can't stop loving you, baby
I feel so insecure
In my mind, I
Can picture
Losing you for sure
And the pain I can't endure
Baby, I'm worried,
Really, really worried
I wanna make you happy
Really truly happy
Oh baby I'm wondering,
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Oh baby I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering ...

Things Aint Like They Used To Be
(chorus)
Are you wondering why
No one talks any more
And all you hear
Is the cry for war
Are you wondering if
There are people who
Hurt inside the same as you
There are grey-faced men always telling me
Things aint like they used to be
You kids have got no self respect
Wake up old man to your neglectbr> its dog eat dog
Its hand to mouth
Its east and west
Its north and south
Just like you drummed it into me
Things aint like they used to be
Ill tell you why I cant afford
To hang my hopes upon your word
And when Im done, Ill join the queue
And take my chance, no thanks to you
Its in or out
Its stop and go
It isnt what
Its who you know
Ive heard you, now can you hear me
Things aint like they used to be
Ancient rules for ancient men
But this is now and that was then
Dont lay your heavy hand on me
And sink me in your poison sea
Its us and them
Its me and you
Its guessing games
Its what to do
Exactly like you said to me
Things aint like they used to be
(chorus)
Are you wondering why
No one talks any more
And all you hear
Is the cry for war
Are you wondering if
There are people who
Hurt inside the same as you

Miracle
I wake up,
and start my everyday routine
of working hard at feeling sorry for myself.
and after lunch i close my eyes,
and wish to god that i could change
but when i wake up im still very much myself
and im a long way from believing
that im gonna be ok
such a long way from believing
that ill escape
this feeling that i hate
and its miracle that we are here today
with all the pain we put ourselves through over nothing
cuz if you think hard
youll know soon it will be ok
and youll be holding on to someone
holding on to someone
i wake up
and start my everyday routine
of wondering what in the world im gonna do
cuz things are falling into place
but i can't appreciate them
'cuz if last time fell apart then this might too
and im a long way from believing
that im gonna be ok
such a long way from believing
that ill escape
this feeling that i hate
and its miracle that we are here today
with all the pain we put ourselves through over nothing
cuz if you think hard
youll know soon it will be ok
and youll be holding on to someone
holding on to someone
Dimly lit my porch lights
I can see your eyes
and they are staring into my face
staring into my face
i should trust what i see in them
and know the time is right
but still ill take the easy road and wait
ive got to stop being scared
and using time that isn't there
'cause i could die tomorrow or today
control is resting on my side
but knowing just would not be right
and thats not how i wanna live my life
and its miracle that we are here today
with all the pain we put ourselves through over nothing
cuz if you think hard
youll know soon it will be ok
and youll be holding on to someone
holding on to someone
and its miracle that we are here today
with all the pain we put ourselves through over nothing
cuz if you think hard
youll know soon it will be ok
and youll be holding on to someone
holding on

Pain and Hurt
born in to pain and hurt
growing in pain and hurt
living in pain and hurt
sleeping in pain and hurt
waking in pain and hurt
cuting in pain and hurt
bleeding in pain and hurt
crying in pain and hurt
i know nothing other then pain and hurt
i use drugs to end the pain and hurt
but all i get is pain and hurt
is there nothing other then pain and hurt

Wondering
Orbison/dees
Wondering, wondering, I wonder what to say
Wondering, wondering, I wonder what to do
Will your love be true, or will you run away
When you have been alone, without love, all alone
You wonder what youll feel when new love comes along
Is it really real?
Ah . . aaaah . . aaah,
I wonder.
Wondering, wondering, I wonder all the time
Wondering, wondering, are you really mine?
Will your love be true or will I wonder
Till the end of time?

Got You On My Mind
By joe thomas & howard biggs
Ive got you on my mind, Im feeling kind of sad and low.
Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low.
Im wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go.
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
But since you went away, nothing seems to be the same.
No matter how I try,
My heart just dont see why
I cant forget you.
If ever it should be
You want to come back to me,
You know Id let you.

Pain!
Buried so far away. into my life of nothing
Sick of the same old things
So I dig a hole, bury pain!
Sick of the same old things
So I dig a hole, bury pain!
I am so high always. burying my life so slowly.
Sick of the same old things
So I dig a hole, bury pain!
Sick of the same old things
So I dig a hole, bury pain!
It opens my mind to feelings. cant face bottom without something.
Sick of the same old things
So I dig a hole, bury pain!
Sick of the same old things
So I dig a hole, bury pain!
Re-entering my head, feeling like Im god
With the world around me, cant you feel this pain?
Ripping through my heart!
Screaming through my mind!
Nothing I can kill!
Screaming a...
Lie! i! am!
Cant you tear my eyes out?
Cant you take my heart?
Away to heart
Good-bye...
Sick of the same old things
So I dig a hole this big
So I dig a hole this...
Pain, pain, pain...

The writing on the wall
Here I am all alone.
Keeping in all I have to say.
All bottled up inside.
Can't someone see me crying here?
I cry here everyday.I want to tell out why;
why I sit here and I cry.
But if someone gets to know why.
The real reason why.
I 'm crying from the pain,
If you're wondering why I'm feeling this,
you'll just have to continue to wonder.
To me it seems so clear;
I feel it's written on my face.
But the words I cant speak.

When You Cry
When you cry...
Are you feeling mislead?
Wondering why as you sigh,
How you got where you are...
With that pain inside!
When you cry...
From a place that's hurting.
Do you feel deserted?
Knowing that your weeping
Is not deserved!
When you cry...
And the tears are falling.
Do you then realize,
It's hard to fake
A heart that aches.
And you can not shake the breaking!
When you cry...
Do you wish to be held?
By the very someone,
Who brought to you
Overwhelming hell!
Wake up from this spell!
When you cry...
Does revenge cross your mind?
And you sit bitterly,
With a wish you could kick...
Someone's behind.
When you cry,
Are you trying to release...
Every ounce of hurt,
By the one who left...
A pile of dirt!
When you cry...
Has it dawned on you?
No one else does it,
Like you do.
Proving,
You're left screwed.
And crying like you do,
Makes it true...
You're the fool!
And crying like you do...
Leaves no sympathy for you!

Could I Be You
Something is wrong with the sum of us
That I cant seem to erase
How can I be the only one
Without a smile on my face
[chorus]
Well now, youre laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight
You show your pain like it really hurts
And I cant even start to feel mine
Well, Im standing in place
With my head first and I shake, I shake
I see your progress stretched out for miles and miles
[chorus]
Youre laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive, yeah
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight
This is the sound that I make
These are the words I chose
Somehow the right thing to say
Just wont come out
Just wont come out
[chorus]
And youre laughing out loud
At the thought of being alive
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
And I was wondering
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Just throw me a line so i can anchor my pain

No one ever takes the blame
But everyone is searching for a cure to the pain
