Sia- Bird Set Free... She was addicted to Xanax, Oxycotin, and Alcohol and is now 5 years sober. She understands us! In interviews she talks about the sick world of Benzo and alcohol co addiction. Many of her songs reflect it.

 

Learning Sia's backstory is when I really began listening to her music

" Natale's Song"

Sia

 

 

 

"Natale's Song"

 

I'm in the wars

Can't speak for crying

Close all the doors

Since I am dying

Pick up the phone

Attempt to call her

I'm all alone

Until she answers

 

Momentarily she brings peace to me

Momentarily she brings peace to me

 

She barely speaks

But I hear her breathing

That's all I need

Someone who's listening

And still she stays

Her time is precious

Until I am safe

She gives her presence

 

Momentarily she brings peace to me

Momentarily she brings peace to me

Momentarily she brings peace to me

Momentarily she brings peace to me

 

❤️❤️❤️

"Empty" - Ray LaMontagne

 

She lifts her skirt up to her knees

Walks through the garden rows

With her bare feet laughing

 

I never learned to count my blessings

I choose instead to dwell

In my disasters

 

I walk on down the hill

Through grass grown tall

And brown and still

It's hard somehow

To let go of my pain

 

On past the busted back

Of that old and rusted Cadillac

That sinks into this field

Collecting rain

 

Will I always feel this way

So empty

So estranged

 

And of these cut throat busted sunsets

These cold and damp white mornings

I have grown weary

 

If through my cracked and dusty

Dime store lips

I spoke these words out loud

Would no one hear me

 

Lay your blouse across the chair

Let fall the flowers from your hair

And kiss me

With that country mouth

So plain

 

Outside the rain is tapping

On the leaves

To me it sounds like

They're applauding us

The quiet love

We've made

 

Will it always feel this way

So empty

So estranged

 

Well I looked my demons in the eyes

Laid bare my chest

Said do your best

To destroy me

 

See, I've been to hell and back

So many times

I must admit

You kinda bore me

 

There's a lot of things

That can kill a man

There's a lot of ways to die

Yes, and some already did

And walk beside me

 

There's a lot of things

I don't understand

So many people lie

It's the hurt I hide

That fuels the fire inside me

 

Will I always feel this way

So empty

So estranged

"Broken" - Tracy Chapman

https://youtu.be/32BW3csOFF0

 

You can close your eyes

And see a picture perfect life

Inside of your mind

Dreaming only of the days ahead

Wanted and wished for more than now

Or the days behind

You waste your time

 

The picture makes a promise

The flesh lets it be broken

The picture makes a promise

The flesh lets it be broken

 

You can never think

You can't even stop yourself

Before the words have been spoken

And you've already said

You would give everything

And something for nothing

Everybody thinks you're joking

 

The picture makes a promise

The flesh lets it be broken

The picture makes a promise

The flesh lets it be broken

 

You want to be the one

Made over be your own

Before and after

And a supermarket

Beauty in a bottle queen

Who'll one day grace a check-out counter

Magazine front cover

Though the fine print reads

 

The picture makes a promise

The flesh lets it be broken

The picture makes a promise

The flesh lets it be broken

 

Lets it be broken, lets it be broken

Broken

Lets it be broken, lets it be broken

Broken

Broken

 

When your life is never what you wanted

Not even halfway normal

Just tarnished and soiled

When in your reach

A framed and frozen moment

So far from perfection

Not truth or transcendence

Will set you free

Still you don't believe

 

The picture makes a promise

The flesh lets it be broken

The picture makes a promise

The flesh lets it be broken

"Running To Stand Still" - U2

 

And so she woke up

Woke up from where she was

Lying still

Said I gotta do something

About where we're going

 

Step on a steam train

Step out of the driving rain maybe

Run from the darkness in the night

Singing ah la la la dee day

Ah la la la dee day

Ah la la dee day

 

Sweet the sin

Bitter taste in my mouth

I see seven towers

But I only see one way out

 

You got to cry without weeping

Talk without speaking

Scream without raising your voice

 

You know I took the poison

From the poison stream

Then I floated out of here

Singing ha, ah la la la dee day

Ah la la la dee day

Ah la la dee day

 

She runs through the streets

With her eyes painted red

Under black belly of cloud in the rain

In through a doorway she brings me

White gold and pearls

Stolen from the sea

 

She is raging

She is raging

And the storm blows up in her eyes

 

She will

Suffer the needle chill

She's running to stand

Still

"Aftermath" - Adam Lambert

 

Have you lost your way

Living in the shadow

Of the messes that you made

And so it goes

Everything inside your circle

Starts to overflow

 

Take a step before you leap

Into the colors that you seek

You get back what you give away

So don't look back on yesterday

 

[CHORUS:]

Wanna scream out

No more hiding

Don't be afraid of what's inside

Gonna tell ya you'll be alright

In the aftermath

Anytime anybody pulls you down

Anytime anybody says you're not allowed

Just remember you are not alone

In the aftermath

 

You feel the weight

Of lies and contradictions

That you live with every day

It's not too late

Think of what could be

If you rewrite the role you play

 

Take a step before you leap

Into the colors that you seek

You get back what you give away

So don't look back on yesterday

 

[CHORUS]

 

Before you break

You have to shed your armor

Take a trip and fall into the glitter

Tell a stranger that they're beautiful

So all you feel is love, love

All you feel is love, love

 

Wanna scream out

No more hiding

Don't be afraid of what's inside

Wanna tell ya you'll be alright

In the aftermath

(x2)

 

Anytime anybody pulls you down

Anytime anybody says you're not allowed

Just remember you are not alone

In the aftermath

In the aftermath

In the aftermath

In the aftermath

 

Just remember you are not alone

"Raven" - Jewel 

 

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/07/02/article-2353805-1AA0364B000005DC-150_634x426.jpg

 

Fly like a raven

Black honey into the night

Soft like the air beneath

A swan in a flight

 

Then return back home to bed

Bring the dancing stars

Sleep and dream

Of a white wolf howling

And know that I am near

 

Shhh close your eyes

Don't ask why

Let's dream

Together you and I

Close your eyes

We will fly

Dreaming together you and I

 

The moon has sailed

In a sliver gown of stars

It's long but not forever

Soon her love will rise as mine

And sing to the shadows

 

Tomorrow we will shall rise with the dawn

Kiss the flowers and bloom

But now lie still as the wind

And listen

For I will come to you

With the footsteps of morning

 

Shhh close your eyes

Don't ask why

Let's dream

Together you and I

Oh close your eyes

We can fly

Dreaming together you and I

 

Dream

Dream

Dream

Dream

"Lost" - Kodaline

 

Take me away

Make it all better

If not for a day

Then maybe forever

 

Is it all in my head

Cause it’s getting harder

But there’s something you said

That I never thought of

 

Cause we are ordinary people

Beautiful as we are 

We can still get lost

Lost

 

Lost

Lost

We are lost

We are lost

 

Maybe today

It’ll get better

I hear what you say

We’re in this together

Now I’m starting to see

Hoping and praying

We’ll never win

Win without playing

 

Cause we are ordinary people

Beautiful as we are

We can still get lost

Lost

 

Lost

We still get lost

It’s easy to get lost

We are lost

It’s easy to get lost

 

We are ordinary people

We are lost

Ordinary people

 

We are ordinary people

We are lost

Lost

Lost

"Confession" - Florida Georgia Line

 

Rusty barbed wire lines these fields

Gravel dust behind the wheels

Drifting like my mind into the rear view

Jet trails cutting across the sky

I'm rolling through the open wide

Searching for a song to drink beer to

And trying to find a place to disappear to

 

I light up the night and let it burn

Lean back and watch the sundown fade

Do what I do when life's a little sideways

I take a sip and say a prayer

Wait for a shooting star and stare

Off at the headlights on the highway

 

That guy in the windshield looking back

Looks just like me

But there's a crack in the reflection

This is just a moonlight soaked

Ring of smoke

Right hand on a cold one confession

 

Embers in the ashtray glow

Like memories that won't let go

I'm out here trying to get 'em untangled

In the darkness on the edge of town

A little lost, a little found

Waiting on a call from an angel

 

I light up the night and let it burn

Lean back and watch the sundown fade

Do what I do when life's a little sideways

I take a sip and say a prayer

Wait for a shooting star and stare

Off at the headlights on the highway

 

That guy in the windshield looking back

Looks just like me

But there's a crack in the reflection

This is just a moonlight soaked

Ring of smoke

Right hand on a cold one confession

"Fly Away" - JJ Heller

 

Stars call me closer

The earth is dragging me down

I want to be more than hungry

I want to live somewhere

Other than this old gray town

 

[CHORUS:]

I want to fly away far beyond my cage

Where I hear freedom singing

You are telling me again

There's no door to keep me in

I hear freedom singing

 

Beauty all around me

Drawing me to the sky

This is life

I can feel it

Bid my lonely days goodbye

 

[CHORUS]

 

Fly away home

Fly away home

Fly away home

To you

(x2)

 

I want to fly away far beyond my cage

Where I hear freedom singing

You are telling me again

There's no door to keep me in

I hear freedom singing

 

Fly away home

Fly away home

Fly away home

To you

 

Fly away home

Fly away home

Fly away

"No Matter Where You Are" - Us The Duo

 

I will stand by you even when we fall

I will be the rock that holds you up

And lifts you high so you stand tall

 

I won't let you go

No one can take your place

Oh, a couple fights and lonely nights

Don't make it right to let it go to waste

 

I won't let you fall

I won't let you go

No matter where you are

No matter where you are

I'll be there

 

No matter where you are

No matter where you are

I'll be there

 

I will hold on to

Everything we've got

A quitter, a regretter, and forgetter

Is everything I'm not

 

I'll take care of you

And love you just because

You and I are better than forever

Nothing can stop us

 

I won't let you fall

I won't let you go

No matter where you are

No matter where you are

I'll be there

 

No matter where you are

No matter where you are

I'll be there

 

We can be the generation

Who learns how to love

Mistakes and empty promises

Will never be enough

To tear apart these giant hearts

That beat inside us now

Let's conquer the percentages

And rise above the crowd

 

I won't let you fall

I won't let you go

No matter where you are

No matter where you are

I'll be there

 

No matter where you are

No matter where you are

I'll be there

 

I'll be there

I'll be there

"By Way Of Sorrow"

 

 

Wailin' Jennys

 

Cry Cry Cry

 

You've been taken by the wind

You have known the kiss of sorrow

Doors that would not take you in

Outcast and a stranger

 

[CHORUS:]

You have come by way of sorrow

You have come by way of tears

But you'll reach your destiny

Meant to find you all these years

Meant to find you all these years

 

You have drunk a bitter wine

With none to be your comfort

You who once were left behind

Will be welcome at love's table

 

[CHORUS]

 

All the nights that joy has slept

Will awake to days of laughter

Gone the tears that you have wept

You'll dance in freedom ever after

 

[CHORUS]

 

You have come by way of sorrow

You have come by way of tears

But you'll reach your destiny

Meant to find you all these years

Meant to find you all these years

"Crying Song" - Pink Floyd

 

We smile and smile

We smile and smile

Laughter echoes in your eyes

 

We climb and climb

We climb and climb

Footfalls softly in the pines

 

We cry and cry

:'( We cry and cry  :'(

Sadness passes in a while

 

We roll and roll

We roll and roll

Help me roll away the stone

"Don't Worry About Me" - Mighty Sam McClain

 

Don't worry about me, Baby

I'm gonna find my way

Don't worry about me, Baby

I will find my way

 

I'm going to keep on praying and hoping

That I'll see a brighter day

Can't nothing stop me, Baby

Can't nothing stand in my way

 

Listen, I've been down so low

I couldn't see above my shoes

I looked around for friends everywhere

And all I could see was you

 

But don't you worry, Baby

Don't you worry, Babe

Right now I can see my way

 

I've been hoping and praying for a long time

Oh I know I'm going to see a brighter day

Oh yes I will

Stand with me

Yea, you gotta stand with me now

 

Don't worry about me, Baby

Because you're already gone

But sometimes I say to myself

I wish you'd come back home

 

So I just keep on trying, Baby

And I won't let nothing stand in my way

Because as long as I know

I've got love in my heart

I know I'll see a brighter day

 

Oh yes, I will

Yes, I will

 

Don't you worry

Don't you worry

Don't you worry

Please, don't you worry

Don't you worry about me

Please don't worry

 

I've got somebody

I've got somebody on my side now

Oh yes, I do, listen to me, Baby

Keep on doing what you're doing, girl

Oh, let your conscience be your guide

 

Don't you worry no more now

Don't worry

Don't worry about me, Baby

"Fly Away" - Indigo Girls

 

Fly away little bird

Any place in this open mouthed world

Begs to be fed like a bed that beckons you

But you won't rest

 

Everyone's got a need to go

Most of us stick with our row to hoe

But not you, you're the black crow

With a straight line and no time

 

For the birds of prey who wreck your nest

Twice your size, steal your best

They set you on this course

Of your collision

 

I am a stop along your way

I am the words you'll never say

I crossed the great beyond of fear

I opened my eyes and saw us there

 

What a view

You went there too

 

Fly away little bird

Find the song in you that no-one's heard

Strengthen your wings

As you sing your solo flight

Through this short life

 

Everyone's got a deep regret

We try to ground ourselves to forget

But your race to the end

Is neck and neck

 

You love them, you love them not

The birds of prey who wreck your nest

Twice your size, steal your best

They set you on this course

Of your collision

 

I am a stop along your way

I am the words you'll never say

I crossed the great beyond of fear

Opened my eyes and saw us there

 

What a view

And you went there too

 

But all along your chosen path

Are window panes and sheets of glass

That you won't see

You fly too fast

One day it will be over

 

Fly away little bird

The saddest song I ever heard

Was the one I wrote you in my heart

That never made it to the world  :'(

"Moving Forward" - Ziggy Marley

 

The human experiment comes with pain

And through it all you got to live again

From the day that I was born

Yesterday was already gone

 

It's not easy so I can't pretend

Those who are angels were once my friends

I don't wanna stay with the evil I know

I don't wanna keep my enemies close

 

I'm moving forward

I'm moving forward

The pain make me stronger

Can't stop me no longer

 

I'm moving forward,

I'm moving forward

The hurt make me stronger

Can't stop me no longer

 

Sometimes it seems impossible

The obstacles that we must climb

Adversity is my ally 

Even though she makes me cry

 

I'm moving forward

I'm moving forward

The pain makes me stronger

Can't stop me no longer

 

I'm moving forward,

I'm moving forward

The hurt make me stronger

Can't stop me no longer

"I'll Take Care Of You"

Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa

 

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2006-01/04/xin_07010304071225017756.jpg

 

I know you've been hurt

By someone else

I can tell by the way

You carry yourself

 

But if you let me

Here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you

 

I, I loved and lost

Same as you

So you see I know

Just what you've been through

 

And if you let me

Here's what I'll do

Oh, I just got to take care of you

 

You don't ever have to worry

You don't ever have to cry

I'll be there beside you

To dry your weeping eyes

 

So darling, tell me

That you'll be true

Cause there's no doubt in my mind

I know what I want to do

 

And just as sure

One and one is two

Oh, I just got

I've got to take care of you

I just got to take care of you

Take care of you

"I Want My Tears Back" - Nightwish

 

I want my tears back

 

The treetops, the chimneys

The snowbed stories

Winter grey, wildflowers

Those meadows of heaven

Wind in the wheat

 

A railroad across waters

The scent of grandfatherly love

Blue bayous, Decembers

Moon through a dragonfly's wings

 

Where is the wonder where's the awe

Where's dear Alice knocking on the door

Where's the trapdoor that takes me there

Where the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare

 

Where is the wonder where's the awe

Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for

Before the years take me

I wish to see

The lost in me

 

I want my tears back

I want my tears back now

 

A ballet on a grove

Still growing young all alone

A rag doll, a best friend

The voice of Mary Costa

 

Where is the wonder where's the awe

Where's dear Alice knocking on the door

Where's the trapdoor that takes me there

Where the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare

 

Where is the wonder where's the awe

Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for

Before the years take me

I wish to see

The lost in me

(x2)

 

I want my tears back

I want my tears back now

 

Where is the wonder where's the awe

Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for

Before the years take me

I wish to see

The lost in me

(x2)

 

I want my tears back

I want my tears back now

"Falling Down" - Oasis

 

The setting sun

It blows my mind

It's falling down

On all that I've ever known

Time will kiss the world goodbye

Falling down on all that I've ever known

It's all that I've ever known

 

A dying scream

It makes no sound

Calling out to all that I've ever known

Here am I, lost and found

Calling out to all

 

We live a dying dream

If you know what I mean

All that I've ever known

It's all that I've ever known

 

Catch the wheel

That breaks the butterfly

I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide

I tried to talk with God to no avail

Calling my name and out of nowhere

I said "If you won't save me

Please don't waste my time"

(x2)

 

The setting sun

It blows my mind

It's falling down

On all that I've ever known

Time will kiss the world goodbye

Falling down on all that I've ever known

It's all that I've ever known

"We Never Change" - Coldplay

 

I wanna live life

And never be cruel

I wanna live life

And be good to you

 

I wanna fly

And never come down

And live my life

And have friends around

 

We never change, do we

We never learn, do we

 

So I wanna live

In a wooden house

I wanna live life

And always be true

I wanna live life

And be good to you

 

I wanna fly

And never come down

And live my life

And have friends around

 

We never change, do we

We never learn, do we

 

So I wanna live

In a wooden house

Where making more friends

Would be easy

 

Oh, and I don't have

A soul to save

Yes, and I sin

Every single day

 

We never change, do we

We never learn, do we

 

So I wanna live

In a wooden house

Where making more friends

Would be easy

 

I wanna live

Where the sun comes out

Sarge - Beguilling

 

 

I tried to pin you down at 3 am

By 5 looks like you'd won me over again

I've spent the last year watching you deteriorate

But you're a likable bully

All along it's been my mistake

 

'Cause all these nuanced conversations

That cry for quiet consolations

Were affectations of affection

That stem from subjective rejections

 

 

And still I loved your lilting anger

Dissected every word you sang then

Now I know every loaded line

I've heard them all too many times

 

But I don't believe you anymore

This insincerity is starting to bore me

And I can't figure out what's wrong with you

When these indiscretions start anew

And I'm torn

 

And I thought I'd gotten through to you but then

Next day looked like you one-upped me again

Your machinations leave me speechless and resigned

And while I won't deny your talent

I'm gonna quit wasting my time

 

All these ripped off observations

Encasing sly retaliations

The declarations of defection

From your beguiling new deception

 

But I still love the way you eye me

You gauge my temper, satisfy me

And you're so quick to realign

But I've heard that song too many times

 

And I don't believe you anymore

This insincerity is starting to bore me

And I can't figure out what's wrong with you

When these false confessions start anew

And I'm torn

 

So why'd you have to change?

Or have you always been this way?

I miss the way you were before

You figured out that I'm not yours

And at every show

I'm just another face in your front row

But now I know you're so alone

 

So why'd you have to change?

Do you ever miss me the same way?

I miss our long talks on the porch

Your shifting eyes and sweet retorts

And it's been so long

I can't remember what went wrong

I miss you but I'm giving up

"That Day (Moment Of Clarity)"

Natalie Imbruglia

 

That day, that day

What a mess, what a marvel

I walked into that cloud again

And I lost myself

And I'm sad, sad, sad

Small, alone, scared, craving purity

A fragile mind and a gentle spirit 

 

That day, that day

What a marvelous mess

This is all that I can do

I'm dying to be me

Sad, scared, small, alone, beautiful

It's supposed to be like this

I accept everything

It's supposed to be like this

 

That day, that day

I lay down beside myself

In this feeling of pain, sadness

Scared, small, climbing, crawling

Towards the light

And it's all I see and I'm tired

And I'm right and I'm wrong

And it's beautiful

 

That day that day

What a mess, what a marvel

We're all the same

And no one thinks so

And it's okay

And I'm small and I'm divine

And it's beautiful and it's coming

And it's already here

And it's absolutely perfect

 

That day, that day

When everything was a mess

And everything was in place

And there's too much hurt

Sad, small, scared, alone

And everyone's a cynic

And it's hard and it's sweet

But it's supposed to be like this

 

That day, that day

When I sat in the sun

And I thought and I cried

Cause I'm sad, scared, small

Alone, strong

And I'm nothing and I'm true

Only a brave man can break through

And it's all okay, yeah, it's okay

 

That day, that day

I lay down beside myself

In this feeling of pain, sadness

Scared, small, climbing, crawling

Towards the light

And it's all that I see and I'm tired

And I'm right and I'm wrong

And it's beautiful 

 

That day that day

What a mess

What a marvelous mess

We're all the same

And no one thinks so

And it's okay

And I'm small and I'm divine

And it's beautiful and it's coming

And it's already here

And it's absolutely perfect

 

That day, that day

That day, that day

That day, that day

 

It's so sweet

Can you feel it

Are you here

Are you with me

I can feel it

It's beautiful
