My 2 Cents – As a pagan I have always loved the songs the Christians have during this time of year but often felt uncomfortable with them because of the religious overtones on them. I love how this does not have the religious overtones, but it has the lovely softness of the carol. The singer is absolutely amazing as well.
The voices in my head keep on telling me to pray ‘Cause I’m spinning like a carousel, circling the drain Hit the bottom of the bottle, I don’t wanna feel the pain But that is all I got for now, I don’t wanna talk about it The voices in my head keep on begging me to stay If I pull the trigger now then the demons go away And I know my time is coming so there ain’t no time to waste So that is all I got for now, I don’t wanna talk about it The voices in my head keep telling me to choose a side It’s heaven or hell like it’s do or die I’m a sad boy, you know better Please don’t make this last forever The voices in my head keep telling me I’m not okay It’s feeling like a hurricane in my brain Dark clouds, hard times, bad weather Please don’t make this last forever The voices in my head keep telling me I’m gonna (die) And I don’t wanna talk about the drama, I’m trauma (tized) They’re tellin’ me I’m fine but we both know that’s a fuckin’ (lie) I’m losing my mind but I don’t wanna talk about it The voices in my head keep giving me the worst advice Kamikaze crash like a suicide I’m a lost boy, you know better Please don’t make this last forever The voices in my head keep telling me I’m insane And maybe I’m a little bit, that won’t change Dark clouds, hard times, bad weather Please don’t make this last forever The voices in my head keep telling me I’m gonna (die) And I don’t wanna talk about the drama, I’m trauma (tized) They’re tellin’ me I’m fine but we both know that’s a fuckin’ (lie) I’m losing my mind but I don’t wanna talk about The voices in my head keep telling me I’m cursed I’m paranoid, I don’t wanna make it any worse We’re all gonna die but first things first I’ma take the world with me when they put me in the dirt The voices in my head keep telling me I’m cursed I’m paranoid, I don’t wanna make it any worse We’re all gonna die but first things first I’ma take the world with me when they put me in the dirt Move (Move) Voices in my head keep telling me I’m cursed I’m paranoid, I don’t wanna make it any worse We’re all gonna die, first things first I’ma take the world with me when they put me in the dirt The voices in my head keep telling me I’m gonna (die) And I don’t wanna talk about the drama, I’m trauma (tized) They’re tellin’ me I’m fine but we both know that’s a fuckin’ (lie) I’m losing my mind but I don’t wanna talk about it The voices in my head keep on telling me to pray ‘Cause I’m spinning like a carousel, circling the drain Hit the bottom of the bottle, I don’t wanna feel the pain I’m losing my mind but I don’t wanna talk about it
My 2 Cents – this is the time of year when mental health is the hardest to deal with. Addiction, family issues, and simply put trauma responses end up making it more than disaster… and then those who are trying to find the way to handle the mental health problems end up feeling like they are to blame for ruining the holidays. You can really never tell what someone else is going through. Be kind, please.
[Verse 1] There is no knowing, no showing Your fragile side Want to be perfect, untouchable Like the sky It’s so misleading, believing That fear inside Don’t let the light in, they’ll see it Behind your eyes
[Chorus] Way down we go To the dark room Where your pain’s the only one to greet you Down we go To the mind that Will deceive you, only out to get you Down we go To the bottom Now there’s only yourself to count on Down we go To the dark room Can you get through all the pain insidе you? Down we
[Verse 2] You’re stuck with playing and gaining Traumatic times Want to bе stronger, the story Of your whole life This kind of reckless seems endless It comes to fight So you’re not breathing, just bleeding Oh, what a sight
[Chorus] Way down we go To the dark room Where your pain’s the only one to greet you Down we go To the mind that Will deceive you, only out to get you Down we go To the bottom Now there’s only yourself to count on Down we go To the dark room Can you get through all the pain inside you? Down we
[Bridge] Down we go To the dark room Where your pain’s the only one to greet you Down we go To the mind that Will deceive you, only out to get you Down we
[Chorus] Way down we go To the dark room Where your pain’s the only one to greet you Down we go To the mind that Will deceive you, only out to get you Down we go To the bottom Now there’s only yourself to count on Down we go To the dark room Can you get through all the pain inside you? Down we
My 2 Cents – My daughter often introduces me to new music…and it gets stuck in my head. The lyrics on this one really kind of hit for me. What song is stuck in your head and why?
Okay, I admit today is slightly different than my usual Tuesday fare. The above is a playlist I created on YouTube. It is based on a question one of my Facebook friends asked…
Quick! What is your favorite cover song that you think is better than the original?
Now that has some controversy… after all it depends on the eye of the beholder mechanic. What is good for me may not be to you.
Still, I enjoy the covers on this playlist and I thought I would share it with you. What is your favorite cover song?
[Verse 1] Woke up late, car’s a mess Spilled some coffee on my dress Trying to pick out a song Drove too fast, missed a stop Somehow a Policeman saw How am I gonna pay for that?
[Pre-Chorus] I stayed up ’til 3 a.m last night Watching Netflix on my phone ’cause They cut off the power line Drank up the rest of the box wine Oh, I know it wasn’t smart And I say this every time [Chorus] I can’t adult today at all I wanna go right back to bed And pretend I’m not feeling well There’s nothing that I wanna say But ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I can’t adult today I can’t adult today
[Verse 2] Got to work, powered through Headache started around 2 ‘Cause I had to work through lunch Finally, I finished up Made it home and had enough But I found a dog chewed couch
[Pre-Chorus] I stayed up ’til 3 a.m last night Watching Netflix on my phone ’cause They cut off the power line Drank up the rest of the box wine Oh, I know it wasn’t smart And I say this every time
[Chorus] I can’t adult today at all I wanna go right back to bed And pretend I’m not feeling well There’s nothing that I wanna say But ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I can’t adult today [Bridge] Just another cup of coffee I can’t adult today Just a little bit more money I can’t adult today 10 alarms just to remind me I can’t adult today Tomorrow I will try again
[Chorus] I can’t adult today at all I wanna go right back to bed And pretend I’m not feeling well There’s nothing that I wanna say But ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I can’t adult today I can’t adult today I can’t adult today
My Two Cents- being sick sucks. Catching up on the work I should have done whilst sick sucks. I wanna go right back to bed…
I break the ice So they don’t see my size And I have to be nice Or I’ll be the next punchline
I’m just the best friend in Hollywood movies Who only exist to continue the story The girl gets the guy while I’m standing off-screen So I’ll wait for my cue to be comedic relief
Can’t be too loud Can’t be too busy If I don’t answer now, are they still gonna need me? Can’t be too proud Can’t think I’m pretty Do they keep me around, so their flaws just seem silly?
I say I’m okay ‘Cause they wouldn’t care anyway And I could try to explain But my efforts in vain They can’t relate to how I’ve
Drawn out in Sharpie where I take the scissors If that’s what it took for me to look in the mirror I’ve done every diet to make me look thinner So why do I still feel so goddamn inferior?
Can’t be too loud And can’t be too busy If I don’t answer now, are they still gonna need me? Can’t be too proud and Can’t think I’m pretty Do they keep me around, so their flaws just seem silly?
Life of the fat, funny friend Life of the fat, funny friend
It’s funny when I think a guy likes me And it’s funny when I’m the one who says, “Let’s go to eat” It’s funny when I’m asked to go out on Halloween Dresses and thigh highs, while I hide my body
Can’t be too loud And can’t be too busy If I don’t answer now, are they still gonna miss me?
Can’t be too loud And can’t be too busy If I don’t answer now, are they still gonna need me? Can’t be too proud and Can’t think I’m pretty Do they keep me around, so their flaws just seem silly?
Life of the fat, funny friend Life of the fat, funny friend Life of the fat, funny friend Life of the fat, funny friend
I’ve drawn out in Sharpie where I take the scissors
My Two Cents- I have been fat almost all my life. I was tiny before I hit puberty…but I hit puberty…I got fat. or so I was told.
I was two in the picture above.
And here I was ten. Through most of my teen years my mother had me on every fad diet there was. She was certain I would die before I was 30 by heart attack. So certain that she had me convinced.
My senior year of high school…I was 200 lbs….
I ended up 450 lbs and unable to move…but hey…I survived 30…
I am down to 270. I am still the same girl. the teen that didn’t understand what was wrong with me. The person who never felt like she looked good enough to be counted as cute, much less pretty.
Yeah, I am sure y’all know this one by now…But today it is simply because I am fighting an almost daily migraine. I am fighting mental health issues, hard, and I just don’t have any extra energy to suggest new web comics. The internet is so full of Wonderful comics, but I just don’t know what I have already recommended and don’t have the energy needed to pick a new one.
Instead I will recommend a neat content creator on TikTok. She sings Puns. She is a fun creator. I may alternate a bit and recommend some Tiktok creators in between some web comics. It sounds like it might be less stressful. Go laugh at Drew and her Puns.
Dreaming comes so easily ‘Cause it’s all that I’ve known True love is a fairy tale I’m damaged, so how would I know
I’m scared and I’m alone I’m ashamed And I need for you to know
I didn’t say all the things that I wanted to say And you can’t take back what you’ve taken away ‘Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
I didn’t say all the things that I wanted to say And you can’t take back what you’ve taken away ‘Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
Healing comes so painfully And it chills to the bone Will anyone get close to me? I’m damaged, as I’m sure you know
I’m scared and I’m alone I’m ashamed And I need for you to know
I didn’t say all the things that I wanted to say And you can’t take back what you’ve taken away ‘Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
I didn’t say all the things that I wanted to say And you can’t take back what you’ve taken away ‘Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
There’s mending for my soul An ending to this fear Forgiveness for a man who was stronger I was just a little girl, but I can’t go back
I didn’t say all the things that I wanted to say And you can’t take back what you’ve taken away ‘Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
I didn’t say all the things that I wanted to say And you can’t take back what you’ve taken away ‘Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
Can’t go back
I can’t go back I must go on
My Two Cents- I feel like the lyrics speak for me. Some days surviving is harder than others. Somedays the voices of the past are louder than they should be. I am looking at an MRI for the migraines on the 19th…The problem is I am petrified of closed in places. I was abused by someone I should have been able to trust. When I was 9 years old I finally got the courage up to tell him I would scream if he came near me again. He locked me in the trunk of his car. He said that I would die there and made me believe that He intended to kill me. Though I am nearly 40 years older than that scared little girl….I still can’t handle closed in spaces. So I am having serious issues with the upcoming test. The man who abused me killed himself a few years ago. The last time I saw him I was still a child. He is still powerful, and I am somehow powerless. Some things the mind refuses to accept. Logically, I am no longer able to be hurt by a dead man…but since when is the brain logical?
I’ve been dreaming of friendly faces I’ve got so much time to kill Just imagine people laughing I know someday we will And even if it’s far away Get me through another day Cover me in sunshine Shower me with good times Tell me that the world’s been spinning since the beginning And everything will be alright Cover me in sunshine From a distance all these mountains Are just some tiny hills Wildflowers, they keep living While they’re just standing still I’ve been missing yesterday But what if there’s a better place? Cover me in sunshine Shower me with good times Tell me that the world’s been spinning since the beginning And everything will be alright Cover me in sunshine Shower me with good times Tell me that the world’s been spinning since the beginning And everything will be alright Cover me in sunshine Cover me in sunshine Shower me with good times Tell me that the world’s been spinning since the beginning And everything will be alright Cover me in sunshine
My Two Cents- Due to personal reasons this has been a bad week. Today is not Tuesday…but I needed Music and I wanted to do some posting. So though it be Thursday…Here is some shared sunshine.
I’m Not a person I am a tiny little rat I’m Not usually formal but sometimes I wear a hat I like simple things like boggling and getting belly pats Cause I’m not a person I am a tiny little rat
I’m not a person I’m a couple of raccoons We’re all dressed up in Pj’s tho we know it’s well past noon You can say we’re trash pandas you can say we’re buffoons I don’t care I’m not a person I’m a couple of raccoons
I’m not a person I’m three possums in a coat We like to claim it’s Gucci, but we got it from a goat Say it’s vintage or it’s Avant guard whatever boats your float, I don’t care I’m not a person, I’m three possums in a coat.
I’m not a person I am four opossums stacked Dressed up in a fancy robe I’ll tell you that’s a fact we may look a little bigger that’s cause all the stacks are packed I am not a person I am four opossums stacked
I am not a person I am like 27 frogs we like poetry and moonlight and we like yelling in a bog and we are not even a hive mind we just mostly get along I am not a person I am like 27 frogs
My Two Cents- I usually do Youtube for the video, Today this song is from TikTok. (Second week in a row) This song is catchy and just bloody cute. I have decided I am not a person, I am 3 possums in a coat. There are other varieties of this one, but so far this is my favorite.
