Poignant song
Still reading Jane's blog. She posted the lyrics to a song that resonates with her, and here's one that does it for me.
Simon by Lifehouse
catch your breath
hit the wall
scream out loud
as you start to crawl
back in your cage
the only place
where they will
leave you alone
'cause the weak will seek the weaker until they've broken them
could you get it back again
would it be the same?
fulfillment to their lack of strength at your expense
left you with no defense
they tore it down
CHORUS:
and i have felt the same
as you, I've felt the same
as you, I've felt the same
locked inside
the only place
where you feel sheltered
where you feel safe
you lost yourself
in your search to find
something else
to hide behind
the fearful always preyed upon your confidence
did they see the consequence
when they pushed you around?
the arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones
breaking them 'til they've become
just another crown
CHORUS
refuse to feel
anything at all
refuse to slip
refuse to fall
can't be weak
can't stand still
you watch your back
cause no one will
you don't know why they had to go this far
traded your worth for these scars
for your only company
don't believe the lies that they have told to you
not one word was true
you're alright, you're alright, you're alright
CHORUS
