Soundtrack to my current state of life

So I've exhausted my creative drive and now all I have is the music to hold on to. Shit post from a horrible little butt-plug, but it is the best I can do right now. The first is basically for my daughter, borrowing from the Jim Croce, wherever his spirit inhabits today. All else may as well be trivial.

Time In a Bottle - Jim Croce

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that Id like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
Id save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That youre the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That youre the one I want to go
Through time with


The Turn of a Friendly Card pt. 1 & 2 - Alan Parsons

There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
And a wheel in perpetual motion
And they follow the races and pay out the gains
With no show of an outward emotion

And they think it will make their lives easier
For God knows up till now it's been hard
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card

There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men
Have prevented the fall of the unwise

And they think it will make their lives easier
For God knows up till now it's been hard
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card

But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine
As he enters inside the cathedral...

There are unsmiling faces in fetters and chains
On a wheel in perpetual motion
Who belong to all races and answer all names
With no show of an outward emotion

And they think it will make their lives easier
But the doorway before them is barred
And the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card


Don't Answer Me - Alan Parsons

If you believe in the power of magic,
I can change your mind
And if you need to believe in someone,
Turn and look behind
When we were living in a dream world,
Clouds got in the way
We gave it up in a moment of madness
And threw it all away

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

If you believe in the power of magic,
It's all a fantasy
So if you need to believe in someone,
Just pretend it's me
It ain't enough that we meet as strangers
I can't set you free
So will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me?

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?


I Wouldn't Want to be like You - Alan Parsons

If I had a mind to,
I wouldn't want to think like you.
And if I had time to
I wouldn't want to talk to you.

I don't care
What you do,
I wouldn't want to be like you.
I don't care
What you do,
I wouldn't want to be like you.

If I was high class
I wouldn't need a buck to pass.
And if I was a fall guy,
I wouldn't need no alibi...

I don't care
What you do,
I wouldn't want to be like you.
I don't care
What you do,
I wouldn't want to be like you.

Back on the bottom line,
Diggin' for a lousy dime.
If I hit a mother lode,
I'd cover anything that showed.

I don't care
What you do,
I wouldn't want to be like you.
I don't care
What you do...
I wouldn't wanna,
I wouldn't want to be like you.
I wouldn't want to be like you.


Feed the Fire - Ark

I Saw Her Face In A Magazine

She Was There Smiling Back At Me

It Was A Spark To The Fire And I Flew Higher

Her Hair As Black As Coal

Her Eyes We're Slightly Blue

Am I Imagining The Beauty Reflecting



Will She Ever Know My Name

I'm Dreaming

That Someday She'll Be Mine



It's Love That Feeds The Fire

In For Desire I Dive Endlessly

I Can't Stop Believing

Love Will Be There



I Know You're Out There Somewhere

My Dreams Are All About You

Baby We Could Walk Through Fire

Your Power I Desire

Loving From A Distance

Ain't Got No Resistance

Behind Your Made Up Face

Your Secrets Embrace



Will She Ever Know My Name

I'm Dreaming

Someday She'll Be Mine



It's Love That Feeds The Fire

In For Desire I Dive Endlessly

And I Can't Stop Believing

Love Will Be There

Love Will Feed The Fire

In For Desire I Dive Endlessly

I Can't Stop Believing

Love Will Be There.be There Some Day



The Burden is Mine... Alone - Green Carnation

I feel the blood under my skin
like so many times before
this journey got the best of me
and I am sorry I couldn't wait anymore

The burden is mine... alone

I feel the blood under my skin
and I hate every part of me
how could I lose the only thing worth keeping
now I'm sorry I didn't wait for you

The burden is mine... alone


Strange Highways - Dio

It's a crazy world we live in
And I'm leaving it today
For another institution
Where crazy people play
Every time I climbed the mountain
And it turned into a hill
I promised me that I'd move on
And I will.

I, I, good for nothing
Going nowhere, so they say
Hey, someone give me blessings
For they say that I have sinned
That's when I crawl inside myself
And ride into the wind
On Strange Highways
On Strange Highways

Hey you! I want your number
Don't even wonder
We do things our way here
Questions
These are forbidden
We got no answers
Believe us anyway

So here is my confession:
It's the only broken rule
Sometimes I crawl inside of me
Where I can be the fool
On Strange Highways
On Strange Highways

Oh

You can see the other side
And you shall come over
You can't leave the other side
If you say I will

Everytime I climbed the mountain
And it turned into a hill
Well, I promised me
I'd disappear
And now I know I will

So, someone give me blessings
For the times you say I've sinned
So I can crawl inside myself
And ride into the wind
On Strange Highways
On Strange Highways

Questions
They're forbidden
Hey you, what's your number
Oh, we've got no answers
Don't you even wonder

Oh, Strange Highways
Ooh


Pile of Doubt - Green Carnation

I've been badly beaten
But somehow I've stumbled on
And this wonderland you planed for me
Never felt like home
And the more I tried the more I realized

I don't believe in things I cannot see
I've had enough
Don't you understand I'm half the man?
I've said enough
The life I used to live I have left behind
The pile of doubt you had in me
went on to shine I am over
I am gathered, strong unstoppable
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/ZNN ]

You remember how I used to be
You remember a connection so strong
You remember how sweet it was
You remember only you
But the more I tried the more I realized

I don't believe in things I cannot see
I've had enough
Don't you understand I'm half the man?
I've said enough
The life I used to live I have left behind
The pile of doubt you had in me went on to shine

I am over
I am gathered, strong unstoppable

I don't believe in things I cannot see
I've had enough
Don't you understand I'm half the man?
I've said enough
The life I used to live I have left behind
The pile of doubt you had in me went on to shine



Torn - Ark

DO YOU FEEL THE PRESSURE OVERPOWERING
A UNIVERSAL FORCE
ASKING YOU FOR MORE
CUTTING TO THE CORE
AN UNSPEAKABLE SURRENDER

I'M DRIFTING ON A SUMMER WIND
I PRAY TO GOD HERE.I PRAY TO GOD

IN TRANCE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING
DANCING ON A DREAM
ASKING FOR MORE
EYES GETTING SOAR
UNDER THE STARLIGHT

I'M DRIFTING ON A SUMMER WIND
I PRAY TO GOD HERE
THROWN TO THE SUN
NO WARNING CAME
VISIONS OF LIGHT SO CLEAR
BUT I'M TORN

SO MANY PEOPLE FALLING DOWN
FRUSTRATED MASSES CRAWL
THE BLOOD OF THE EARTH
A PLANTED SEED
THE TOLLING OF BELLS REVEALED

I'M DRIFTING ON A SUMMER WIND
I PRAY TO GOD HERE
THROWN TO THE SUN
NO WARNING CAME
VISIONS OF LIGHT SO CLEAR
TORN


Just A Little - Ark

STRANGERS MEETING ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH
COMMUNICATING MAKING TRENDS FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
SACRIFICIAL BLEEDINGS FROM THIS WONDERFUL MACHINE
FRANTICALLY CREATING ARTIFICIAL HUMAN BEINGS

MOVING FASTER AS WE KEEP OUR HOPES UP HIGH
MAYBE SOMEDAY WE WILL KNOW THE REASON WHY
ONLY LOVE CAN BRING US FORWARD

WE WON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT - WE SHINE SO BRIGHT
'CAUSE WE ARE JUST A LITTLE CRAZY
DANCE UPON THE WORLD - FLY LIKE A BIRD
TOUCH THE SKY AND ONE DAY MAYBE
JUST A LITTLE CRAZY

IN THE TEMPLE OF MISSINFORMATION WE ARE BORN
WARS FOUGHT AND CREATED ALL THE HEROES HAVE COME AND GONE
TRANSCENDING SIGNALS OUTSIDE THIS BIG BALLOON
PLAYING WITH NEEDLES UNDER SHADOWS OF THE MOON

MOVING FASTER AND WE KEEP OUR HOPES UP HIGH
MAYBE SOMEDAY WE WILL KNOW THE REASON WHY
ONLY LOVE CAN BRING US FORWARD
HOLDING HANDS TOGETHER

WE WON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT - WE SHINE SO BRIGHT
'CAUSE WE ARE JUST A LITTLE CRAZY
DANCE UPON THE WORLD - FLY LIKE A BIRD
TOUCH THE SKY AND ONE DAY MAYBE
JUST A LITTLE CRAZY

DON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT - YOU SHINE SO BRIGHT
'CAUSE YOU ARE JUST A LITTLE CRAZY
DANCE UPON THE WORLD - FLY LIKE A BIRD
TOUCH THE SKY AND ONE DAY MAYBE
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP HIGH
DON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT - WE SHINE SO BRIGHT
WE ARE JUST A LITTLE CRAZY
WE WON'T GIVE UP - WON'T GIVE UP - WON'T GIVE UP
JUST A LITTLE CRAZY - JUST A LITTLE


Where the Winds Blow - Ark

NOW I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING BABY
YOU SURE KNOW HOW TO KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN
I GAVE YOU MY HEART AND SOUL
KEPT YOU WARM WHEN THE NIGHTS WERE COLD
YOU SAY YOU NEED SOME TIME TO THINK IT OVER
BUT I CAN'T WAIT NO MORE
DOWN THAT LONG WINDING ROAD I'LL GO
RUNNING FAST AIN'T LOOKING BACK

FOLLOW A CLEAR BLUE SKY
ON ALL THE DREAMS I'M DEPENDING
UNTIL THE DAY THAT I DIE
I'LL BE WAITING FOR SUNRISE

WHERE THE WINDS BLOW
THAT'S WHERE I GO
DOWN THE RIVER TO THE SEA
LIKE A BLIND MAN
IN A STRANGE LAND
WILL I EVER SEE THE DAY

WILL I EVER SEE THE DAY... WOMAN

I KEEP ON PUSHING HARDER
EVERYDAY THE SONG
REMAINS THE SAME

AND I NEVER SEEM TO LEARN
BET MY HEART ON LOVE
NOW I GOT MEMORIES TO BURN
EVERYWHERE I GO THERE IS A TROUBLE
ALWAYS DOUBLE... BABY
SPEND MY TIME DRINKING TOO MUCH WINE

I CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE

FOLLOW A CLEAR BLUE SKY
ON ALL THE DREAMS YOU'RE DEPENDING
UNTIL THE DAY THAT I DIE
I'LL BE WAITING FOR SUNRISE

WHERE THE WINDS BLOW
THAT'S WHERE I GO
DOWN THE RIVER TO THE SEA
LIKE A BLIND MAN
IN A STRANGE LAND
WILL I EVER SEE THE DAY

AND I'M ON THE RUN...

WHERE THE WINDS BLOW...
WHERE THE WINDS BLOW
THAT'S WHERE I GO
WILL I EVER SEE THE DAY
WILL I EVER SEE THE DAY

WILL I EVER SEE THE DAY

I KEEP ON PUSHING HARDER BABY

WHERE THE WINDS BLOW
THAT'S WHERE I GO
DOWN THE RIVER TO THE SEA
LIKE A BLIND MAN
IN A STRANGE LAND
WILL I EVER SEE THE DAY
WHERE THE WINDS BLOW
THAT'S WHERE I GO
DOWN THE RIVER TO THE SEA
LIKE A BLIND MAN
IN A FOREIGN LAND
WILL I EVER SEE


Public Pervert - Interpol

If time is a vessel, then learning to love
Might be my way back to sea
The flying, the medal, the turning above
These are just ways to be seen
We all get paid
Yeah some get faith before they die
But the stars we will navigate
Through the holes in your eyes

How many days will it take to land?
How many ways to reach abandon?
You and I

Oh, so swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain
You move with me, I'll treat you right, baby
May our bodies remain

There is love to be made
So just stay here for this while
Perhaps heart strings resuscitate
The fading sounds of your life

How many days will it take to land
How many ways to reach abandon?
Oh, you and I

So swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain
As weak we move, I'll feed you light, baby
May our bodies remain
Oh yeah in history, I'll treat you right, baby
I'm honest that way, hey
Swoon baby starry nights
May our bodies remain
