Today while driving home from work I heard three songs...all of them got me singing along and all of a sudden a verse in each song jumped out at me and seemed to stick in my head.
And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you’re alive
~Iris by The GooGoo Dolls
Momma always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun
But momma that's where the fun isthe calliope crashed to the ground.
Cause she was
blinded by the light...
~Blinded By The Light by Manfred Mann
Don't say words you're gonna regretDon't let the fire rush to your headI've heard the accusaation beforeAnd I ain't gonna take any moreBelieve meThe sun in your eyesMade some of the lies worth believing~Eye In The Sky by Alan Parsons Project
These words that other people have written seemed to reflect what I've been feeling lately. It just goes to show, the human experience is very similar for all of us. We all suffer at times and some of us become creative in our pain while others wallow and fade away. Who hasn't followed the lies into the light? But how many of us return unblemished? unscorched? I believe one of the best tans I ever got is the one I have right now.
