This Page contains the Lyrics that have wired us, inspired us, helped us through the bad times and helped us remember the good times. The lyrics that were there through all of the celebration, as well as the devastation. Nothing has quite the power over emotion like a song. It can bring you to the depths of nostalgia and back, to the heights of happiness or comfort you in your depths of sorrow. These are the words that were with us... through it all.
"And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
In the crushes of heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me"
-Florence + The Machine

"I finally put it all together,
But nothing really lasts forever
I had to make a choice that was not mine,
I had to say goodbye for the last time
I kept my whole life in suitcase,
Never really stayed in one place
Maybe that's the way it should be,
You know I've led my life like a gypsy
I've said it so many times
I would change my ways No, never mind
God knows I've tried
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say.
So, I'll be on my way
I'll always keep you inside,
you healed my Heart and my life...
And you know I try."

"I am fairly agile
I can bend and not break
Or I can break and take it with a smile
And I am so resilient
I recover quickly
I'll convince you soon that I am fine"

I pretend to close my eyes The more
the dark consumes me I pretend I'm
burning, burning bright"

"So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here."
-Pink Floyd

"Well I’m not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you"

"Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die,
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot?
Do I float through the ceiling?
Do I divide and fall apart?
'cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark"

"So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you, yeah I miss you
So far away from where you are
I'm standing underneath the stars
And I wish you were here
I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that they'd mean everything to me
Yeah I miss you
And I wish you were here
I feel the beating of your heart
I see the shadows of your face
Just know that wherever you are
Yeah I miss you
And I wish you were here"

Like an angel with no wings
Like a kingdom with no king
What have we become?
A self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degenerating
What have we become?

"Look into my eyes and see my pain
Now that I lost what I thought I'd gained
Sorrowness and fear is all I taste
Now I understand what I had to waste
My love
Look into the fires you left behind
Smoke and ashes sear my mind
Unconcerned and in denial
Clip my wings, put me on trial
My love
Now there's only me
God has made me weak
Now there's only me
Gone is apathy
Look into my eyes and see my pain
Now that I lost what I thought I'd gained
Sorrowness and fear is all I taste
Now I understand what I had to waste
My love
Now there's only me
God has made me weak
Now there's only me
Gone is apathy
History's in the mind of the teller
Truth is in the tale
History's in the mind of the teller
Truth is in the tale, the tale
Truth is in tale
Truth is in tale"

"She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time But she
never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger And
finally drank away his memory Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life We laid
her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby."

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

"Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms"
