Welcome to Gaia! ::

I saw something I was not supposed to see
A ghostly memory that keeps on haunting me

The kitchen door was open a crack,
So naively we peeked inside

Oh, darling sister, have they hurt you, have they hurt you?
Oh, Pretty Baby, they wont touch you
They wont touch you again
We will fix this incident

I dont want to be seen as a pretty thing
Cause its the pretty things that were always breaking...

And now she whispers into the mirror: Im broken.

Oh doctor, doctor, can you fix me, can you fix me?

Oh Pretty Baby, youre so naive -- but it comes off so cute
We dont want to fix you
We love you just the way you are
The butterfly pinned to the page
The nightingale locked in the cage -- wont you sing for me?
Sing for me, uh-huh
Yeah, we love you just the way you are
Crushed neath fashion magazines
Trampled by circus pony dreams -- wont you kiss me?
Won't you kiss me, uh-huh

Oh please, mister, cant you fix me, cant you fix me? uh-huh
Someone, anyone, wont you fix me, wont you fix me? uh-huh
Oh, someone, please, the moon has raped me
I can feel it inside me
Oh, mama, please let someone fix me!
Let them fix me, uh-huh
Let them fix me, uh-huh

So cry yourself to sleep
Cry yourself to sleep cause I am strong and you are weak
Wait, you are strong, and I am weak <******** -- just cry yourself to sleep

Lament of a Pretty Baby - Cursive

In the Circle by Hungry Lucy

The wind will drift and spread the flame
A spark will land inside your heart
You will never be the same
As ashes tear your life apart
Tragedy can make us stronger
But cannot be undone
If you wish it, it will happen
Fates aren't sealed for everyone

It flickers in the circle
A dance of life for you
It's safer in the circle
Where visions remain true

So often people judge those
That they do not understand
The innocent are dying
At those judging hateful hands
If only we could show them
We do not wish them harm
Instead we'd like to live life
Inside each other's open arms

We sparkle in the circle
There's fire in our eyes
So much magick in the circle
We're in need of no disguise

Be with me in the circle
You're always welcome here
It's safer in the circle
But do not bring your fear
I'll meet you in the circle
Within your own good time
I'll be here in the circle
Forever with you intertwined

Also by Hungry Lucy - Storm

Don't you bring me no sunshine today
I need the grey skies and the rain
You never understand my pain
I need the wind to blow it away

Afternoon showers for me
The coldness is all that I see
It numbs my pain so deep
The storm it will rock me to sleep

Rain
Will wash away my sorrow
Clouds
Make me see the light
Wind
Carries me away
To the place
I want to be

Alone in the dark sky tonight
I feel the thunder will make it alright
Lightning strikes me down to you
Love of the darkness will help me through

Rain
Will wash away my sorrow
Clouds
Make me see the light
Wind
Carries me away
To the place
I want to be

I love both of these songs. I've listened to them more times than I can count and still haven't grown sick of them.

Motion City Soundtrack. :]

"Earth Song"

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth This weeping shores?

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth this weeping shores

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us)
I can't even breathe
(What about us)
What about the bleeding Earth
(What about us)
Can't we feel its wounds
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
(ooo, ooo)
It's our planet's womb
(What about us)
What about animals
(What about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust
(What about us)
What about elephants
(What about us)
Have we lost their trust
(What about us)
What about crying whales
(What about us)
We're ravaging the seas
(What about us)
What about forest trails
(ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
What about the common man
(What about us)
Can't we set him free
(What about us)
What about children dying
(What about us)
Can't you hear them cry
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
(ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about babies
(What about it)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
(What about us)
What about the man
(What about us)
What about the crying man
(What about us)
What about Abraham
(What was us)
What about death again
(ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn

Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

I'm staring out into that vacuum again
From the back porch of my mind
The only thing that's alive
I'm all there is
And I start attacking my vodka
Stab the ice with my straw
My eyes have turned red as stop lights
You seem ready to walk
You know I will call you eventually
When I wanna talk
Till then you're invisible

Cause there's this switch that gets hit
And it all stops making sense
And in the middle of drinks
Maybe the fifth or the sixth
I'm completely alone
At a table of friends
I feel nothing for them
I feel nothing!
Nothing!

Well I need a break from the city again
I think I'll ship myself back west
I got a friend there she says
"Hey anytime!"

Unless that offers expired
I have been less than frequent
She's under no obligation
To indulge every whim
And I'm so ungrateful
I take she gives and forgives
And I keep forgetting it

And each morning she wakes
With a dream to describe
Something lovely that bloomed
In her beautiful mind
I say I'll trade you one
For two nightmares of mine
I have some where I die
I have some where we all die

I'm thinking of quitting drinking again
I know I've said that a couple times
And I'm always changing my mind
Well I guess I am

But there's this burn in my stomach
And there's this pain in my side
And when I kneel at the toilet
And the morning's clean light
Pours in through the window
Sometimes I pray I don't die
I'm a goddamn hypocrite

But the night rolls around
And it all starts making sense
There is no right way or wrong
Well you just have to live
And so I do what I do
And at least I exist
What could mean more than this?
What would mean more?
Mean more?

Hit the Switch - Bright Eyes.
Favorite Band, if you couldnt tell. xD

So she wakes up
In time to brake down
She left a note up on the dresser
And she's right on time
You don't know anything, right or wrong

I said I know-ow-ow-ow, and she said so-o-o-o
I want to panic but I've had it so I go-o-o-o
You don't owe anything to anyone
But don't take your life
Cause it's all that you've got
You'd be better off just up and leaving
If you don't think they will stop

And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place, and in a better time
So you're tired of living
You feel like you might give in, well don't
It's not your time

Flipping through the paper today
Looking for a specific page
Don't want to find her full name followed by dates
Cause when I left her alone, she made a sound like a moan
"Your known by everyone for everything you've done" <******** buying flowers for grave,
I'd rather buy you a oneway non-stop to anywhere
Find anyone, do anything, forget and start again, look
She said she won't go, it hurts to much, to stand by
You've got to stop and draw a line
Everyone here has to choose a side, tonight
The moment of truth is haunting you
Don't forget your family regardless of what you choose to do
You can't decide, and they're all screaming "why won't you?"
I'll start the engine, but I can't take this ride for you
I'll draw your bath and I'll load your gun
But I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt

Annie's tired of forgetting about today and always planning for tomorrow
(tomorrow) tomorrow Annie says
"The saddest day I came across was when I learned that life goes on without me"
(without me) without me Annie says
"If everyone has someone else and I ain't got nobody's love to save me"
(to save me) to save me Annie says
"I think I'll pass away tonight cause it seems I'll never get it right if it's just me"
(just me) just me Annie says

And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you'll wake in a better place, in a better time
So you're tired of living
You feel like you might give in, well don't
It's not your time

Annie says she wouldn't mind if they never find a cure for all her problems
(her problems) her problems Annie says
As long as she has someone near to make it clear she does not need to solve them
(to solve them) to solve them Annie says
"Oh this loneliness is killing me, it's filling me with anger and resentment,"
(resentment) resentment Annie says,
"I'm turning into someone that I never thought I'd have to be again"

And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you'll wake in a better place, in a better time
So you're tired of living
You feel like you might give in, well don't
It's not your time

Annie's tired of forgetting about today and always planning for tomorrow
Tomorrow Annie says
"The saddest I came across was when I learned that life goes on without me
Without me Annie says
"If everyone has someone else and I ain't got nobody's love to save me,
To save me Annie says
I think I'll pass away tonight cause it seems I'll never get it right if it's just me
It's just me Annie says

And when you wake up
Everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you'll wake in a better place, in a better time
So you're tired of living
You feel like you might give in, well don't
It's not your time

And even if it was, oh, I wouldn't let you go
You could run run run run, but I will follow close
Someday you will say "That's it, that's all"
But i'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
I know that you think that you are on your own
But just know that I am here and I'll lead you home
If you let me she said forget me but I can't

A Better Place, a Better Time by Streetlight Manifesto. Always been one of my favorite songs. It's fast-paced and talks about how you shouldn't commit suicide. It's like..the anti-angst. Kind of a long song, though. XD

Paint It Black
by Rolling Stones

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm...

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!
