What song..

A few more personal songs that had a huge impact on me. You may remember the traumatic ordeal I went through about this time last year. http://www.realtree.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69324

Wow, I just realized I posted that 1 year ago today, maybe that explains the way I've been feeling. :eek:

There are a few songs that really took on a whole new meaning after that. They are all by Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist). These songs are from an album called Book of Shadows and beginning to end it's just raw emotion in its purest form- stripped down, mostly acoustic, not over-produced- excellent album.

Anyway, both of these really helped me out, eventually. At first they probably prolonged my pain. The the last one finally made me feel better, eventually.

Road Back Home

I look around I see that time ain't changed

Same old faces, Same old names

All the things we thought we knew

You lied to me & I lied to you

(Now) All this time

You never sympathize

All this time

I can't find my way back inside

What you give is what you get

But you drew the line on me baby

Tears falling free but you can't see child

I'm just a touch away baby

Tell me where am I now (oh-o)

Why, where & how

Show me the road back home (oh-yeah)

Tell me where am I now (oh-o)

Why, where & how

Show me the road back home, back home

The pain blew in like a hurricane

Stranger in this town bearing your name

Trapped in the silence with my memories

It's cutting me deep & its tellin' me

All this time

You never sympathize

All this time

I can't find my way back inside

Going nowhere & I'm headed there fast &

I don't mean maybe

The light is getting low & my touch is growing cold

Oh just hold me baby

Tell me where am I now (oh-o)

Why, where & how

Show me the road back home (oh-yeah)

Tell me where am I now (oh-o)

Why, where & how

Show me the road back home, back home

What you give is what you get

But you drew the line on me baby

Tears falling free but you can't see child

I'm just a touch away baby

Tell me where am I now (oh-o)

Why, where & how

Show me the road back home (oh-yeah)

Tell me where am I now (oh-o)

Why, where & how

Show me the road back home, back home

Throwin' It All Away

You couldn't feel the sunlight upon your face

Your little world

A little out of place

You couldn't hear the ocean

You couldn't hear the waves

I know you meant to come back

I know you meant to stay

All you touched

All you know

All you loved - yeah

Well I can see you smile

Can you see my tears?

I reach to hold you

But you ain't there

You left a hole so big lord,

Beyond repair

I'll try to find forgiveness in talkin' what

Will never share

All you touched

All you know

All you loved

You just left 'em with nothing to say

You're just throwin' it all away

No you didn't care to see the light of day

You're just throwin' it all away

Like the sand upon the beach

Your crashing waves came took you away

Then when I finally got my head cleared up, I started to really associate with this one. ;)

The Things You Do

Color my world all black & blue

The h*ll you dish out

Comes back three-fold to you

Inside your riddled rotten core

I hope you get what you deserve

Worse & even more

How can you do the things you do?

You make Satan look like Christ

I swear its true

How could you do the things you do?

The Rolling Stones once sang a tune

Singing words of sympathy

Yet none were sung for you

If the lord of darkness seen you comin' his way

He'd get on his knees

And look to Jesus

and start to pray

start to pray

start to pray

How can you do the things you do?

You make Satan look like Christ

I swear its true

How could you do the things you do?
