Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you...

...What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you....

What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?

Lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me, But she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still, yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there...

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you....

I WANNA SEE SOME EFFING COLOURS!!

the following is an email that i received from my mum earlier today and I figured I'd share it here.. =]

The best instruction I’ve ever heard on the spiritual path is to stay. Stay with that feeling of anxiety, of fear. Stay with the discomfort of embarrassment or humiliation. Stay with your anger, don’t hold onto it, but stay with it. Instead of running away as we always do, or reaching for something, anything, to ease our pain in that moment, stay. Stay nailed right to the spot.

Staying doesn’t mean getting consumed by it. It means immersing yourself in it with awareness. Perhaps you’ll find that your feeling starts to dissolve around your awareness, or perhaps not. The thing is, you’ll only find out by starting to stay.
