sedated and singing

Favorite words and lyrics all in one place. and a couple poems by me here and there.

[littlefear1]

They say it won’t be hard

But they can’t see the battles in heart.

[littlefear1]

When despair for the world grows in me And I wake in the night at the least sound In fear of what my life and my children’s Lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake Rests in his beauty on the water, And the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of the wild things Who do not tax their lives with forethought Of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars Waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

[sedatedandsinging]

They say it won't be hard; they can't see the battles in my heart But when I turn away The demons seem to stay

[sedatedandsinging]

And I wanna come home to you But home is just a room full of my safest sounds

[sedatedandsinging]

Scared of my own image Scared of my own immaturity Scared of my own ceiling Scared I'll die of uncertainty Fear might be the death of me Fear leads to anxiety Don’t know what’s inside of me

[littlefear1]

Don’t give up It’s just the weight of the world.

[sedatedandsinging]

Cause inner demons fight their battles with fire Inner demons don't play by the rules They say "Just push them down, just fight them harder Why would you give up on it so soon?"

[sedatedandsinging]

Hold on, I still want you Come back, I still need you Let me take your hand, I'll make it right I swear to love you all my life Hold on, I still need you

[sedatedandsinging]

Where are you? And I’m so sorry. 

I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight

[sedatedandsinging]

You healed these scars over time Embraced my soul You loved my mind You're the only angel in my life

[sedatedandsinging]

Help me out of this hell Your love lifts me up like helium

[sedatedandsinging]

Cause you know that I can't trust myself with my 3AM shadow

[sedatedandsinging]

They say don't let them in Close your eyes and clear your thoughts again When I'm all alone, they show up on their own

[sedatedandsinging]

When darkness comes upon you And covers you with fear and shame Be still and know that I'm with you

[sedatedandsinging]

I may not have the softest touch I may not say the words as such And though I may not look like much I'm yours

[sedatedandsinging]

We've taken different paths and traveled different roads I know we'll always end up on the same one when we're old And when you're in the trenches and you're under fire I will cover you

[sedatedandsinging]

So angels, angels please just keep on fighting Angels don't give up on me today The demons they are there; they keep on fighting Cause inner demons just won't go away So angels please, hear my prayer Life is pain, lifes not fair So angels please; please stay here Take the pain; take the fear
