The Inspiration

"Love Me When I'm Gone" by 3 Doors Down

There's another world inside of me that you may never see
There's secrets in this life that I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness there's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away... Maybe I'm just blind...

Chorus:
So hold me when I'm here, love me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone
Everything I am and everything you need
I'll also be the one you wanted me to be
I'll never let you down even if I could
I'd give up everything if only for your good
So hold me when I'm here, love me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared, you won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone

When your education x-ray cannot see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing that I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this, but part of me is gone

Chorus

Maybe I'm just blind...

"Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence

How can you see into my eyes, like open doors, leading you down into my core where I've become so numb.
Without a soul, my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold until you find it there and lead it back home.

Chorus:
Wake me up.
Wake me up inside.
I can't wake up.
Wake me up inside.
Save me.
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Wake me up.
Bid my blood to run.
I can't wake up.
Before I come undone.
Save me.
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Now that I know what I'm without you can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real.
Bring me to life.

Chorus

Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie; there's nothing inside.
Bring me to life.

Frozen inside without your touch, without your love, darling;
Only you are the life among the dead.

All of this sight I can't believe I couldn't see,
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me;
I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything.
Without a thought.
Without a voice.
Without a soul.
Don't let me die here.
There must be something wrong.
Bring me to life.

Chorus

Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie; there's nothing inside.
Bring me to life--

Really FINIS now.
