healing gracie

I don't know why, but I really like this song. It's from a group I used to listen to in my middle school/high school days. I stopped listening to them because a lot of their stuff was negative, depressing, etc. But I found this new song of theirs and I just love it! For me, it's my "angry song," the song I listen to when I am feeling upset and like I am being rundown by my past abusers. For me it depicts the constant struggle of breaking free from being entangled to the past...and it is a fight...a difficult fight where you sometimes feel like you are failing, falling, spiraling down. It's kind of my way of fighting back against that...my way of kicking butt and saying: "Hell no, you are not going to mess with my life anymore. I am going to do what I want with my life. You can't control me! I know who I am and you aren't going to drag me down with you!"

This week's song is called "What You Want" by Evanescence.



Song: What You Want
Artist: Evanescence
Album: Evanescence

Do what you what you want, if you have a dream for better
Do what you what you want till you don't want it anymore
(remember who you really are)

Do what you what you want, your world's closing in on you now
(it isn't over)
Stand and face the unknown
(got to remember who you really are)
Every heart in my hands like a pale reflection

Hello, hello remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe we can break through

Do what you what you want, you don't have to lay your life down
(it isn't over)
Do what you what you want till you find what you're looking for
(got to remember who you really are)
But every hour slipping by screams that I have failed you

Hello, hello remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe
Hello, hello remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe

There's still time close your eyes only love will guide you home
Tear down the walls and free your soul
Till we crash we're forever spiraling down, down, down, down

Hello, hello, its only me infecting everything you love
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe

Hello, hello remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to learn forgiveness

Hello, hello remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe we can break through

(remember who you really are)
Do what you what you want
