Take…

…what comfort you will from this song.

Pillar’s “You Will Lose It All” off their album Confessions

Can you tell me why
We all run from the hurt inside?
There’s no need to cry
Dry your eyes and take a breath
It’s life or death
Can you tell me what you’re waiting for?

If you lose it all
And it just won’t feel the same
In the fight to carry on
You stand and face the rain
And as you watch it fall
You learn to live again
It isn’t all that bad
When you’re still standing in the end

Give this one more try
Take my hand and let your heart decide
Hold your head up high
Close your eyes and take a breath
It’s life or death
Can you tell me what you’re waiting for?

If you lose it all
And it just won’t feel the same
In the fight to carry on
You stand and face the rain
And as you watch it fall
You learn to live again
It isn’t all that bad
When you’re still standing in the end

And all the voices cry out
They pull you up tear you down
Then that One voice
Whispers your name again

If you lose it all
And it just won’t feel the same
In the fight to carry on
You stand and face the rain
And as you watch it fall
You learn to live again
It isn’t all that bad
When you’re still standing in the end

week in a flash (week 11)

1. Apartment hunting here I come……

2. One word – packing.  Blech!

3. Internship ended on Friday and I am sad  :(   :(   :(

4. Passed my summer class!!!!!!!  Woohoo!!!!!!!!

5. I had plenty of things that I was thinking of to put in my “week-in-a-flash” but I thought of them all yesterday and now I can’t remember any of them……well, shit……  :D

6. I fucking hate blanket statements…excuse my language but, I really fucking hate blanket statements.

7. I also despise ‘trolls’ – you know nasty people who leave unwarranted comments on people’s blogs that are designed to tear them down or provoke a response.

8. With that in mind – Alece I just wanted to offer you some encouragement, this one’s for you (stay strong)

           Pillar – Not Without A Fight

           There’s a hole in my heart that’s bleeding  –  But it’s given me the strength I needed  –  To carry on, I’m moving on  –  I’m not giving up that easily  –  I can see the black cloud breaking  –  But it doesn’t stop the scars from aching  –  I’m standing strong it won’t be long  –  ‘Til I see you face to face  –  I’M NOT GOING DOWN THAT EASY  –  IT TAKES MORE THAN THAT JUST TO BREAK ME  –  I’M NOT GOING DOWN WITHOUT BLEEDING  –  I’M NOT GOING DOWN, DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT  –  It never mattered what I took for chances  –  It never mattered where I looked for answers  –  I’m not taking the blame  –  This isn’t a game  –  I just can’t watch you fake it  –  I won’t go down without a fight  –  It’s just you and me tonight  –  Face to face and do or die  –  I’ll lay it all out on the line  –  I’M NOT GOING DOWN THAT EASY –  IT TAKES MORE THAN THAT JUST TO BREAK ME  –  I’M NOT GOING DOWN WITHOUT BLEEDING  –  I’M NOT GOING DOWN, DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT

9. Cleaning here I come………

10. I really want to be done with school already…and I haven’t even started on my last semester, is that bad?

11. I’ve been thinking about doing some posts where I put up a song and the lyrics and then explain why it means so much to me…but I’m not sure yet, any input?

12. My last semester is sure to be my fastest/slowest/most stressful/least stressful/hectic/relaxing one yet  ;)

13. I read somewhere that a cat is good for your blood pressure – I disagreed when I read it – but I got to thinking about it and I know of nothing else that instantly relaxes me like holding Coco and hearing her purr.
