"I'm Moving On"

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on

Dixie Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice.

(first verse and chorus)

Forgive sounds good, forget I'm not sure I could

they say time heals everything

but I'm still waiting

I' m through with doubt

there's nothing left for me to figure out

I paid the price

and I'll keep payin

I'm not ready to make nice

I'm not ready to back down

I'm still mad as hell

and I don't have time to go

round and round and round

It's too late to make it right

probably wouldn't if I could

Cause I'm mad as hell

can't bring myself

to do what it is you think I should....

The Who - I'm Free

I'm free, I'm free

And freedom tastes of reality
I'm free, I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me

If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high
You'd laugh and say, "Nothing's that simple"
But you've been told many times before
Messiahs pointed to the door
No one had the guts to leave the temple

I'm free, I'm free
And freedom tastes of reality

I'm free, I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me

How can we follow?
How can we follow?

The Handler by Muse...

You (you, you)Were my oppressorAnd I (I, I)I have been programmed to obey
And now (now, now)You are my handlerAnd I (I, I)I will execute your demands
Leave me aloneI must disassociate from you
Behold (hold, hold)My trance formationAnd you (you, you)Are empowered to do as you please
My mind (mind, mind)Was lost in translationAnd my heart (heart, heart)Has become a cold and impassive machine
Leave me aloneI must disassociate from you
I won't let you control my feelings anymoreAnd I will no longer do as I am toldAnd I am no longer afraid to walk aloneLet me goLet me beI'm escaping from your gripYou will never own me again

Not just the lyrics, but the way it's sung.....wow...

I think I may have hummed this tune just after the JC gave me the boot:

Mr Negative

Apologies for the poor phrasing in my previous message...it didn't look like that before I posted it :-(

You (you, you)

Were my oppressor

And I (I, I)

I have been programmed to obey

And now (now, now)

You are my handler

And I (I, I)

I will execute your demands

I must disassociate from you

My trance formation

And you (you, you)

Are empowered to do as you please

My mind (mind, mind)

Was lost in translation

And my heart (heart, heart)

Has become a cold and impassive machine

I must disassociate from you

And I will no longer do as I am told

And I am no longer afraid to walk alone

Let me go

Let me be

I'm escaping from your grip

You will never own me again

I've got to look up this muse song! How did I miss it!!

Nothing More - This Is The Time

When did we become these sinking stones?
When did we build this broken home?
Holding each other like ransom notes
Dropping our hearts to grip our brother's throat

You can't see because you don't know
You're caught below, beneath your own shadow
Stuck inside, half alive
Do you ever stop to ask yourself why?
Close your mind, identify
Do you feel, do you feel?
Do you call this a life?
All you waited for
Drowning just to keep score

We always start with good intentions
But lose ourselves along the way

This is the time that we let it go
These are the words that will take us home
Singing the song that's inside us all
If we don't open our eyes we're walking blind

Anchored in anger, we exile ourselves
Bitter blood builds our prison cell
Darker water now fills our lungs
The depths of our heart have blacked the sun

Naked we come, naked we leave
Fools we are, to hold tightly
We are the jail, we are the key
We are free, we are free
This is the time that we let it go
This is the pain we are forced to know
Singing the song that's inside us all
If we just open our eyes

This is alt-metal so it may not be for everyone but it hit me pretty hard when I first heard it. Very relate-able.
