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
My 2 Cents – So this song is sad…and has a very suicidal feeling to it. and this time of year this is something that many of us struggle with. You are important. You are worthy. If you need someone to talk to please reach out.
[Verse 1] Creeping eyes from across this masquerade Feeling scared, every stare will cut like blades Dead inside, try to hide behind And shake the tremors
[Verse 2] Hiding with a smile in a crowded place Moaning through the lips of a plastic face Every word just a code that screams Owned by terror Are you scared to see what lies beneath Behind these artificial teeth Through the guilty strings this mask Controls it’s wearer
[Chorus] Trapped in our own disguises Cut free but soulless still Our dreams our haunted by the Ghosts we kill Identities of silence In search of cheaper scares We’re all surrounded by the Masks we wear
[Verse 3] Vilified for deeds done in the light Hiding away within plain sight These cloaks are keeping safe The secret faces Terrified of making one mistake Narrow mind t’ill the soul begins to break We are just husks seeking The world’s false graces
[Chorus] Trapped in our own disguises Cut free but soulless still Our dreams our haunted by the Ghosts we kill Identities of silence In search of cheaper scares We’re all surrounded by the Masks we wear
[Verse 4] Awake within the moment Asleep throughout our lives We suffer in this torment Ensnared in our own lies In facelessness we’re equal When we’re not even there You’re someone underneath this Behind the mask you wear
[Chorus] Trapped in our own disguises Cut free but soulless still Our dreams our haunted by the Ghosts we kill Identities of silence In search of cheaper scares We’re all surrounded by the Masks we wear Trapped in our own disguises Cut free but soulless still Our dreams our haunted by the Ghosts we kill Identities of silence In search of cheaper scares We’re all surrounded by the Masks we wear
My 2 Cents
This year has a lot of mask themes. It feels like it is being encouraged more an more to hide who we truly are. I am not sure if I am happy about this. This song expresses that unease at the hiding of self. it makes me feel like I am less of a freak in the fact that I hate the hiding we do,
Lyrics There will be days when you’re falling down There will be days when you’re inside out There will be days when you fall apart Someone else will break you heart They’re never gonna hold you back I’m always gonna have your back So try to remember that I hope you’re happy I hope you’re good I hope you get what you wish for And you’re well understood And now I’m standing here and looking at you I wonder what the hell you’re gonna do With those Dr. Pepper eyes and you bubble gum hair Yeah, I’m standing right here I remember how I held you so right I remember that Saturday night, do you? There will be days when you’re falling down There will be days when you’re inside out There will be days when you fall apart Someone else will break you heart They’re never gonna hold you back I’m always gonna have your back So try to remember that I hope you’re happy I hope you’re good I hope you get what you wish for And you’re well understood And whatever your progress I know you’ll be fine Because I hope you’re happy Even if you’re not mine I remember when the world was ours to take I remember you next to me I remember you with every breath I take You’ll always have a piece of me I remember, yeah Try to remember that I remember every word that we spoke You right here next to me I remember how we tried and we tried I remember everything Try to remember that That I hope you’re happy That I hope you’re happy I hope you’re happy I hope you’re good I hope you get what you wish for And you’re well understood And whatever your progress I know you’ll be fine Because I hope you’re happy Even if you’re not mine Try to remember that I hope you’re happy
my 2 cents I think that everyone has this. that love that even if you can’t have them… you still wish them happy. I have several. so I decided that for today… I hope that you are happy.
Lyrics She was 19 with a baby on the way On the East-side of the city, she was working every day Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change And, ‘cross town she would take the bus at night To a one bedroom apartment, and when she’d turn on the light She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it’s alright She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive She’d never be alone Have someone to hold And when nights were cold She’d say The world’s not perfect, but it’s not that bad If we got each other, and that’s all we have I will be your mother, and I’ll hold your hand You should know I’ll be there for you When the world’s not perfect When the world’s not kind If we have each other then we’ll both be fine I will be your mother, and I’ll hold your hand You should know I’ll be there for you They were 90 and were living out their days On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they’d made And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed With each other, and though some times were hard Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart No, they didn’t have the money to afford a fancy car But they never had to travel ’cause they’d never be apart Even at the end Their love was stronger than The day that they first met They’d say The world’s not perfect, but it’s not that bad If we got each other, and that’s all we have I will be your lover, and I’ll hold your hand You should know I’ll be there for you When the world’s not perfect When the world’s not kind If we have each other then we’ll both be fine I will be your lover, and I’ll hold your hand You should know I’ll be there for you You should know I’ll be there for you I’m 23, and my folks are getting old I know they don’t have forever and I’m scared to be alone So I’m thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight When high school wasn’t easy, she’s the reason I survived I know she’d never leave me and I hate to see her cry So I wrote this verse to tell her that I’m always by her side I wrote this verse to tell her that I’m always by her side I wrote this verse to tell her that The world’s not perfect, but it’s not that bad If we got each other, and that’s all we have I will be your brother, and I’ll hold your hand You should know I’ll be there for you When the world’s not perfect When the world’s not kind If we have each other then we’ll both be fine I will be your brother, and I’ll hold your hand You should know I’ll be there for you You should know I’ll be there for you
My 2 cents so much has gone on this year and I needed some happy with the music. so I chose upbeat and happy survival music. rock on.
Lyrics – I’m sorry Somebody hurt ya When you were younger But why’d you take it out on me? Now you’re over, soon you’ll see I forgive ya It’s not your fault you’re So frickin evil Spreading lies about you and me Tore it down, made it seem easy What’s the way to Heaven? Now you’ve found a way to sell it You thought I’d lay down and die But it’s my turn now to start the fires You’re E-V-I-L You burn this place to Hell But it don’t matter when you’re dead Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends E-V-I-L, they’re all under your spell But it won’t matter when you’re dead Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends E-V, E-V-I-L, E-V, E-V-I-L But it don’t matter when you’re dead Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends Your problems are not my problems you’re forgettin’ Cannot change who you are inside You let it out let your dark run wild I know it Wasn’t my fault I can’t believe though That you think you have escaped me I’ll hunt you down, just you wait and see What’s the way to Heaven? Now you’ve found a way to sell it You thought I’d lay down and die But it’s my turn now to start the fires You’re E-V-I-L You burn this place to Hell But it don’t matter when you’re dead (don’t matter) Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends (don’t matter) E-V-I-L, they’re all under your spell But it won’t matter when you’re dead (don’t matter) Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends E-V, E-V-I-L, E-V, E-V-I-L But it don’t matter when you’re dead Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends E-V, E-V-I-L, E-V, E-V-I-L E-V, E-V-I-L, E-V-I-L (E-V-I-L) You’re E-V-I-L You burn this place to Hell But it don’t matter when you’re dead (don’t matter) Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends (don’t matter) E-V-I-L, they’re all under your spell But it won’t matter when you’re dead (don’t matter) Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends E-V, E-V-I-L, E-V, E-V-I-L But it don’t matter when you’re dead Won’t save you now ’cause we’re not friends
My 2 cents – this song has been stuck in my head for 2 weeks now. It has a catchy rhythm to the music. The message behind it is strong.
