Always in this inner fight
Do I listen to the voice that says I知
Worthless never will be right
Do I try to keep my head up high
Though I feel that I deserve it all
These daggers going through my chest
Can稚 you see the devastated souls
The remains of my own foolishness

My current on-repeat song: old but good.

The Logical Song - Supertramp

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me

But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical

I said, watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!

But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am

This whole song is great

Oh I
Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes
It's hard sometimes

When I come off cold
I'm not doing it on purpose
You caught me in a hole
That I dig for myself when I'm nervous

TW: self-harm references
Spoiler
Big old pill to inch around
There's no copping out this time
Tried my best to get it down (Get, get, get, get it down)
Sometimes seems like I'm still young
And lookin' at the boy across the sink
Thinking "What the hell have you just done?" ("What the hell have you just done?")

TW: suicide references. I should really pick happier songs
But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker
(You're worth more, Achilles)
You will not be more than a rat in the gutter
(So much more than a rat)
You want my opinion, my opinion you've got
(No one asked your opinion)
You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts
(No one asked for your thoughts)
Be done with this now and jump off the roof
(Be done with this now and get off the roof)
Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you

Yeah everybody's dreams coming true but mine
Could I not keep up, am I falling behind?
Seems like overnight
They figured it out and I'm falling behind
 
Oh, I just wanna know I'll be alright
Oh, cause it feels like I'm running out of time
And everyone around me is where they're supposed to be
Am I where I'm supposed to be?

From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arkYIthplCA:
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere
There's a time for us.

Don't care for the critics
My words are like physics
A force that they can't stop
They just don't get it, I think they forget
I'm not done till I'm on top

I know I was born for this
I know I was born for this

I believe, I believe
We can write our story

The Score's, Born For This:

Think I lost my mind
But don't worry about me
Happens all the time
In the morning I'll be better
In the morning I'll be better

I'm afraid of all I am
My mind feels like a foreign land
Silence ringing inside my head
Please, carry me, carry me, carry me home


Thoughts are only thoughts.
They are not you. You do belong to yourself,
even when your thoughts don't.

I get
Intrusive thoughts like cutting my hands off
Like jumping in front of a bus
Like how do I make this stop
When it feels like my therapist hates me
Please don't let me go crazy
Put me in a field with daisies
Might not work but I'll take a maybe
Oh, been breaking daily
But only me can save me
So I'm capitulating
Crying like a fucking baby

Sections of Gabriella's Song, originally a Swedish (?) song... found a translation...:
All I want is to be happy
Being who I am
To be strong and to be free
To see day arise from night

I am here and my life is only mine
And the heaven I thought was there
I値l discover it there somewhere
I want to feel that I致e lived my life!


There is something missing from the song - Godliness - and yet something of it is very beautiful. I've not heard it sung in English, altho' these lyrics would closely fit with the song. Oh, and the song itself is approximately incredible. You should listen to it. I've only heard one singer sing it, whom you might be unsurprised if you know my musical tastes to find was... Amira Willighagen!
I can't recall if this is her best version, but have a look at this version:
She was fourteen at the time.
