Some of my favorite songs:
The Sound Of Silence
Written by Paul Simon
Copyright ©1965 Paul Simon Music –BMI
HEIR APPARENT arrangement by Terry Gorle -1987

Hello darkness my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it’s seeds while I was sleeping
And a vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains –
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
-That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
-And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

“Fools”, said I, “You do not know”
“Silence, like a cancer, grows”
“Hear my words, that I might teach you”
“Take my arms, that I might reach you”
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are
Written on the subway walls – and tenement halls”
And whispered in the sounds of silence

My Tourniquet

I tried to kill the pain
But only brought more (so much more)
I lay dying
And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?

My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation

Do you remember me?
Lost for so long
Will you be on the other side?
Or will you forget me?
I'm dying, praying, bleeding, and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?

My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation

(Return to me salvation)

(I want to die)

My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation

My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied Christ? (Christ)
Tourniquet
My suicide

-Evanescence

The ultimate cheerleader on steriods lol Paperdolljen - some sisters you never knew you had

My reason for believing love still works Jeannie and James - amazing friends and brave poets

The ever unique and complicated Diana - she's become a wonderfully insightful friend

Her awesomeness in the flesh Krystal - she always has a friendly word and it's one of the many reasons we love her

The always smashing and sexy Tiffannie - she makes me proud of who I am, and she rocks out loud
