Hiding with eyes shut, safe place

The Used. Is all I need. Burn away, all thought, all sound, everything around me. Do you feel ok? I've said it a hundred times and I say it again, don't pay any attention to the crap I write. This is therapy, right? And therapy isn't all roses. But she likes the song, she likes it, she likes it. Maybe she'll dangle, maybe she'll do it. Jack's Mannequin is another brilliant band. Beautiful, easygoing, a little bittersweet. And Mayday Parade. Wonderful. Men kan inte jämföras med tungviktarna The Used och 30 seconds to Mars. I personify myself by those bands, their songs are me, identification, hey, they found me. Got three songs right now, first time I heard each of them, they just immediatelly connected to the core of my being, went right into the very bones. Oblivion - 30 seconds to Mars, The Bird and the Worm - The Used, The third temptation of Paris - Alesana. Other The Used songs that help me get through my days: Listening, Pretty Handsome Awkward, Sound Effects and Overdramatic, Hospital, Paralyzed, Wake the dead.

Do you feel okay? (okay)
You look pretty low
Pretty low, pretty low
Pretty handsome awkward

"The Bird And The Worm"

He wears his heart
safety pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers
whose glances can cripple
the heart and devour the soul

All alone he turns to stone
while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
to save his life he crawls
like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird

Out of his mind away
pushes him whispering
must have been out of his mind
mid-day delusions of pushing this out of his head
maybe out of his mind

All alone he turns to stone
while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
to save his life he
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird

"Hospital"

This feeling never leaves you alone
You pull the trigger on your own
You're hiding in your safe place
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly all the way to the hospital

Now will you ever rest your head
You end up feeling mostly dead
Pretending you're the last one
Hiding with your eyes shut tight on the way to the hospital

[Refrain:]
Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all
Take off my mask and leave the lies to the liars
Before I cross my eyes I'm gonna give it up
Take off my mask and leave the lies to the liars

It never used to hurt before it isn't funny anymore
Feeling so alone now funny how you wish some way that you'll die at the hospital

You're quiet on the car ride home, you're waiting for your head to explode
You're hiding in your safe place
Hiding with your eyes shut tightly all the way to the hospital

[Refrain]

Will you look them in the face
Could you look me in the face
Three cheers you fooled them all [x2]
Come on now hip hip hooray
