 "Child don't close your eyes
 The truth contains much beauty
 And though it scars your soul
 It can heal the wounds it makes
 You've been decieved to think
 That pain is to be dreaded
 When you've got nothing left
 It'll give more than it takes
 If you can't find the peace
 I'll help find it for you
 I don't know how but one thing that's for sure is
 I won't leave you now"

Kendall Payne "Honest" as sung by Eire

 "Snow can wait
 I forgot my mittens
 Wipe my nose
 Get my new boots on
 I get a little warm in my heart
 When I think of winter
 I put my hand in my father's glove

 I run off where the drifts get deeper
 Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
 I hear a voice 
 "You must learn to stand up for yourself 
 Cause I can't always be around"

 He says when you gonna make up your mind
 When you gonna love you as much as I do
 When you gonna make up your mind 
 Cause things are gonna CHANGE so fast
 All the white horses are still in bed
 I tell you that I'll always want you near 
 You say that things change my dear

 Boys get discovered as winter melts
 Flowers competing for the sun
 Years go by and I'm here still waiting 
 Withering where some snowman was 
 Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace 
 But I only can see myself 
 skating around the truth who I am 
 But I know dad the ice is getting thin 

 When you gonna make up your mind
 When you gonna love you as much as I do
 When you gonna make up your mind 
 Cause things are gonna change so fast
 All the white horses are still in bed
 I tell you that I'll always want you near 
 You say that things change my dear

 Hair is grey and the fires are burning 
 So many dreams on the shelf 
 You say I wanted you to be proud of me
 I always wanted that myself

 When you gonna make up your mind
 When you gonna love you as much as I do
 When you gonna make up your mind 
 Cause things are gonna change so fast 
 All the white horses have gone ahead 
 I tell you that I'll always want you near
 You say that things change my dear
 Never change
 All the white horses"

Tori Amos "Winter" as sung by Eire

squint your eyes and look closer i'm not between you and your ambition i am a poster girl with no poster i am thirty-two flavors and then some and i'm beyond your peripheral vision so you might want to turn your head cause someday you're going to get hungry and eat most of the words you just said

both my parents taught me about good will and i have done well by their names just the kindness i've lavished on strangers is more than i can explain still there's many who've turned out their porch lights just so i would think they were not home and hid in the dark of their windows til i'd passed and left them alone

and god help you if you are an ugly girl course too pretty is also your doom cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room and god help you if you are a pheonix and you dare to rise up from the ash a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy while you are just flying back

i'm not trying to give my life meaning by demeaning you and i would like to state for the record i did everything that i could do i'm not saying that i'm a saint i just don't want to live that way no, i will never be a saint but i will always say

squint your eyes and look closer i'm not between you and your ambition i am a poster girl with no poster i am thirty-two flavors and then some and i'm beyond your peripheral vision so you might want to turn your head cause someday you might find you're starving and eating all of the words you said

 kind friends all gathered round
 there's something i would say
 that what brings us together here
 has blessed us all today
 love has made a circle that holds us all inside
 where strangers are as family
 and lonliness can't hide

 you must give yourself to love
 if love is what you're after
 open up your heart to the
 tears and laughter
 and give yourself to love
 give yourself to love,

by Kate Wolf sung by Franny

 You're dead but the world keeps spinning
 Take a spin trough the world you left
 It's getting dark a little too early
 Are you missing the dearly bereft?

 Taking a flight, and you could be here tomorrow
 Taking a flight, well, you could get here tonight

 I'm gonna fly on down for the last stop to this town
 - what?
 I'm gonna fly on down then fly away
 - well allright
 get down

 Takin' a spin through the neighbourhood
 The neighbours scream
 Whatcha talkin' bout?
 'Cause they don't know how to let you in
 and I can't let you out

 what if I was not your only friend in this world
 you take me where you 're going if you 're never coming back
 
 I'm gonna fly on down for the last stop to this town
 I'm gonna fly on down then fly away
 get down
 
 Why don't we take a ride away up high through the neighbourhood
 Up over the billboards and the factories and smoke
 I'm gonna fly on down for the last stop to this town
 - yeah
 I'm gonna fly on down and fly away on my way
 Fly away
 get down

the eels, sung by kat

 I was thinking
 That I might fly today.
 Just to disprove
 All the things that you say.
 It doesn't take a talent to be mean,
 Your words can crush things that are unseen

 So please be careful of me,
 I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way.

 You always tell me
 That it's impossible,
 To be respected
 And be a Girl.
 Why's it gotta be so complicated?
 Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated?

 (chorus)

 And I was thinking
 That it might do some good.
 If we robbed the cynics
 And took all their food.
 That way what they believe will have taken place,
 And we can give it to everybody who has some faith
 
 (chorus)

 I have this theory
 That if we're told we're bad,
 Then that's the only
 Idea we'll ever have.
 But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
 Someday we will become what we see, 
 'Cause anyone can start a conflict
 It's harder yet to disregard it,
 I'd rather see the world from another angle,
 We are everyday angels.

 Be careful of me
 'Cause I'd like to stay that way.

~Jewel, sung to you by Becky~

 My analyst told me that I was right out of my head 
 The way he described it, he said I'd be better dead than live 
 I didn't listen to his jive 
 I knew all along he was all wrong 
 And I knew that he thought I was crazy but I'm not 
 Oh no! 
 
 My analyst told me that I was right out of my head 
 He said I'd need treatment but I'm not that easily led 
 He said I was the type that was most inclined 
 When out of his sight to be out of my mind 
 And he thought I was nuts, no more ifs or ands or buts 
 
 They say as a child I appeared a little bit wild 
 With all my crazy ideas 
 But I knew what was happenin', I knew I was a genius 
 What's so strange when you know that you're a wizard at three? 
 I knew that this was meant to be 
 
 Well I heard little children were supposed to sleep tight 
 That's why I drank a fifth of vodka one night 
 My parents got frantic, didn't know what to do 
 But I saw some crazy scenes before I came to 
 Now do you think I was crazy? 
 I may have been only three but I was swingin' 
 
 They all laughed at Al Graham Bell 
 They all laughed at Edison and also at Einstein 
 So why should I feel sorry if they just couldn't understand 
 The litany and the logic that went on in my head? 
 I had a brain, it was insane 
 Don't you let them laugh at me 
 When I refused to ride on all those double decker buses 
 All because there was no driver on the top 
 
 My analyst told me that I was right out of my head 
 But I said "Dear doctor, I think that it's you instead 
 'Cause I have got a thing that's unique and new 
 It proves that I'll have the last laugh on you 
 'Cause instead of one head... I got two 
 And you know two heads are better than one

"Twisted" originally sung by Joni Mitchell, now sung for Heather by Marina

 Here's wishing you the bluest sky
 And hoping something better comes tomorrow
 Hoping all the verses rhyme,
 And the very best of choruses to
 Follow all the doubt and sadness
 I know that better things are on the way.

 Here's hoping all the days ahead
 Won't be as bitter as the ones behind you 
 Be an optimist instead,
 And somehow happiness will find you
 Forget what happened yesterday
 I know that better things are on the way.

 It's really good to see you rocking out and having fun,
 Living like you've just begun
 Accept your life and what it brings
 I hope tomorrow you'll find better things.
 I know tomorrow you'll find better things.
 Here's wishing you the bluest sky
 And hoping something better comes tomorrow 
 Hoping all the verse rhyme
 And the very best of choruses to
 Follow all the drudge and sadness
 I know that better things are on their way.

 I know you've got a lot of good things happening up ahead
 The past is gone, it's all been said
 So here's to what the future brings
 I know tomorrow you'll find better things.
 I know tomorrow you'll find better things...

Dar Williams, sung by Mitchell

 I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
 You're living in the past it's a new generation
 A girl can do what she wants to do and that's
 What I'm gonna do
 An' I don't give a damn ' bout my bad reputation

 Oh no not me

 An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
 Never said I wanted to improve my station
 An' I'm only doin' good
 When I'm havin' fun
 An' I don't have to please no one
 An' I don't give a damn
 'Bout my bad reputation

 Oh no, not me
 Oh no, not me

 I don't give a damn
 'Bout my reputation
 I've never been afraid of any deviation
 An' I don't really care
 If ya think I'm strange
 I ain't gonna change
 An' I'm never gonna care
 'Bout my bad reputation

 Oh no, not me
 Oh no, not me

 An' I don't give a damn
 'Bout my reputation
 The world's in trouble
 There's no communication
 An' everyone can say
 What they want to say
 It never gets better anyway
 So why should I care
 'Bout a bad reputation anyway
 Oh no, not me
 Oh no, not me

 I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
 You're living in the past
 It's a new generation
 An' I only feel good
 When I got no pain
 An' that's how I'm gonna stay
 An' I don't give a damn
 'Bout my bad reputation 

 Oh no, not me
 Oh no, not
 Not me, not me

Joan Jett, sung by Victor. Miss you, Poet.

 This is my December
 This is my time of the year
 This is my December
 This is all so clear
 This is my December
 This is my snow covered home
 This is my December
 This is me alone

 And I
 Just wish that
 I didn't feel
 Like there was
 Something I missed
 And I
 Take back all
 The things I said
 To make you
 Feel like that
 And I
 Just wish that
 I didn't feel
 Like there was
 Something I missed
 And I
 Take back all the
 Things I said to you 

 And I give it all away
 Just to have somewhere
 To go to
 Give it all away
 To have someone
 To come home to
 
 This is my December
 These are my snow covered dreams
 This is me pretending
 This is all I need

 And I
 Just wish that
 I didn't feel
 Like there was
 Something I missed
 And I
 Take back all
 The things I said
 To make you feel like that
 And I
 Just wish that
 I didn't feel
 Like there was
 Something I missed
 And I
 Take back all the things
 I said to you

 And I give it all away
 Just to have
 Somewhere to go to
 Give it all away
 To have someone
 To come home to

 This is my December
 This is my time of the year
 This is my December
 This is all so clear

 And I give it all away
 Just to have somewhere
 To go to
 Give it all away
 To have someone
 To come home to

-Linkin Park, My December, sung by Mike. I love you.

shy by ani sung for heathla by jessimaca. with love.

 the heat is so great
 it plays tricks with the eye
 it turns the road to water 
 and then from water to sky
 and there's a crack in the concrete floor
 and it starts at the sink
 there's a bathroom in a gas station 
 and i've locked myself in it to think
 
 and back in the city
 the sun bakes the trash on the curb
 the men are pissing in doorways
 and the rats run in herds
 i've got a dream of your face
 that scares me awake
 i put too much on my table
 and now i got too much a stake
 
 and i might let you off easy
 yeah i might lead you on
 i might wait for you to look for me
 and then i might be gone
 where i come from and where i'm going 
 and i'm lost in between
 i might go up to that phone booth
 and leave a veiled invitation on you machine

 and you'll stop me, won't you
 if you've heard this one before
 the one where i surprise you 
 by showing up at your front door
 saying 'let's not ask what's next, 
 or how, or why'
 i am leaving in the morning
 so let's not be shy

 the door opens, the room winces
 the housekeeper comes in without a warning
 and i squint at the muscular motel lady
 says 'hey good morning'
 and she jumps, her keys jingle
 and she leaves as quick as she came in
 and i roll over and taste the pillow with my grin
 well, the sheets are twisted and tangled
 and the heat is so great
 and i swear i can feel the mattress
 sinking underneath your weight
 oh sleep is like a fever
 and i'm glad when it ends
 and the road flows like a river
 and pulls me around every bend

 and you'll stop me, won't you...

 the heat is so great
 it plays tricks with the eye
 it turns road to water
 and water to sky
 and there's a crack in the concrete floor
 and it starts at the sink
 there's a bathroom in a gas station 
 and i've locked myself
 in it to think

 and you'll stop me, won't you...
