I Will Remember You by Sarah McLachlan

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard
But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to lose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
and I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories.

 

Drawn to the Rhythm by Sarah McLachlan

When we wore a heart of stone we wandered to the sea
Hoping to find some comfort there yearning to feel free
And we were mesmerized by the lull of the night
and the smells that filled the air
And we laid us down on sandy ground
it was cold but we didn't care

And we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn to the rhythm of the sea
And we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn to the rhythm of the sea

We fell asleep and began to dream when something broke the night
Memories stirred inside of us the struggle and the fight
And we could feel the heat of a thousand voices telling us which way to go
And we cried out is there no escape from the words that plague us so

In the still and silent dawn another day is born
washed up by the tireless waves the body bent and torn
when you wake in the face of the blinding sun and you search only to find
that heaven is a stranger place than what you've left behind

Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of which has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated
(Chorus)
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye

 (Chorus)
Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

 

Trust by Sarah McLachlan

Somewhere deep inside me
I hold a picture of a time long gone
A time of ease and simple pleasures
And days in shadows not so long
Now with my mind I'm struggling
Holding on to what I believe
Listen to the fragments of my thoughts
That leave me broken and deceived
'Cause I don't know the way
He said "I can take you there,
I can show you places where our time has had no ware
And as we walked the plains
The skies they opened wide
Revealing all the shame for what's been lost inside us all

It's a day in the life
In my mind I've seen it all
Sometime soon for all to see
The walls are slowly breaking down
In my  mind I've seen it all
And someday we'll be free
We're searching for a message
Or so I thought but so it seems
The ignorance in the myths of others
Is easier to redeem
I've never questioned the answers given
To find the faith that's been lost within
'Cause where I lay my trust in others
Where it lies the ground is thin
'Cause I don't know the way
He said "I can take you there,
I can show you places where our time has had no ware
And as we walked the plains
The skies they opened wide
Revealing all the shame for what's been lost inside us all

 

DESPEREAUX

Headstrong by Trapt

Circling your, circling your, circling your head
Contemplating everything you ever said
Now I see the truth
I got a doubt
A different motive in your eyes and now I'm out
See you later
I see your fantasy, you want to make it a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads, yeah
Well now that's over
I see your motives inside, decisions to hide
back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong, we're Headstrong
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
And this is not where you belong
I can't give everything away
I won't give everything away
Conclusions manifest
Your first impressions got to be your very best
I see you're full of lies and that's alright
That's how you play I guess you get through every night
Well now that's over
I see your fantasy, you want to make it a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads, yeah
Well now that's over
I see your motives inside, decisions to hide
back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong, we’re Headstrong
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
And this is not where you belong
(Where you belong)
I can't give everything away
(This is not where you belong)
I won't give everything away...
I know, I know all about
I know, I know all about

Kissed by a Rose
by Seal

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
A light hits the gloom on the grey,
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the grey.

SHADOW AND LIGHT: by Inker & Hamilton

It's a world of shadow and light
nothing is black and nothing is white.
It's a world of shadow and light
it's only shadow
shadow and light.
I was always told to choose between what's good and bad
Though I was never ever sure what I was choosing.
I was even told to see the world in black and white
But deep inside I knew that life was more confusing.
I found out
I found out in my own way
When I opened up my eyes I saw nothing but shades of grey.
We live in a world of shadow and light
Where nothing is black and nothing is white
Where nobody's wrong and nobody's right   Oh
we live in a world now where there's really no fight -
Between the shadow and light.
It's a world of shadow and light
it's only shadow
shadow and light.
When you're looking round for clues about which way to turn

Don't expect to find one simple explanation.
When you're looking round for signs
that might point to the truth   Well
don't expect to find a clear-cut situation.
You find out
you find out in your own way
When you open up your eyes you see nothing but shades of grey.
We live in a world of shadow and light
We live in a world of shadow and light
We live in a world of shadow and light

 

Delirium: Silence by Sarah McLaachlan

 

Give me release                                                                                   
Witness me, I am outside                                                                  
Give me peace
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides
Passion chokes the flower until she cries no more
Possessing all the beauty hungry still for more
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe that I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave ... in this silence ...
I believe I can't help this longing ...
comfort me I can't hold it all in ...
if you won't let me ...
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe that I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
 In this white wave
In this silence
In this white wave ...
in this silence I believe I have seen you ...
in this white wave you are silent
You are breathing in this white wave ...
I am free
