There was only one thought
In his head as he flashed
A determined smile
A lifetime of hurt
He would make it all
Go away

When he grew old and
Had to give up
The things that made him
Feel alive
He was already dead
But the ringing in his ears
And the pain in his soul
Would never, ever
Go away

He couldn’t find a reason
For continuing on
Like this or
Living to die one day
Doesn’t make a difference
Doesn’t make any sense at all
Maybe he’ll find something
To believe in
That will make this
All worthwhile, somehow
And make it all,
Go away

JML,
I know the feeling very well.  In fact, I'm kind of reminded of the song "All Go Away" by NIN with this one.  See my signature below...Great Work BTW!  --Jamie  


 "...In my heart
I know it's still the same
Though it all seems different now
I know it's still the same
Everywhere I look you're all I see
Just a fading, fu*$#ng reminder
Of who I used to be
C'mon tell me
You make this all go away
You make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing
And I'm starting to scare myself
You make this all go away
You make it all go away
I just want something
I just want something I can never have..."
by Trent Reznor, NIN-Broken

reznor's got nothing on you jer...
love this one...but you already knew that
stalking you, yes..
jm

 Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
I don't know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be

Thank ya'll so much, especially Wikket for the NIN comparison, that is the highest honor for me, Trent rules... But, the song is titled "Something I can never have" from his debut album Pretty Hate Machine.
Thanks too janet...don't say that, i'm not fit to carry Trent's mini moog 9000...LOL

great one as usual.  sorry no replys from me lately.  they put you in a class with reznor, you must feel on top of the world.  reminds me of the song "keep away" by a fave band of mine by the name of Godsmack.  maybe just the hook but anyways.  when things wont seem to go away, you want to make yourself go away, i get it.
