“I learned to disappear and I’ve learned to hide my pain, in a fucked up world where there’s too much hate, I just don’t get it and there’s something wrong with me, look inside me then I’ll see that I’m looking for someone, looking for someone who feels like I do I’m looking for someone, Looking for someone who feels like I do” Eh.

\*Loneliness threatens like the echo of a memory, A past still not forgotten. Nothing else in this world Could ever take your place. Don’t want to be left here all alone. I’m scared and I don’t know if I can go on. I don’t wanna be here all alone. Letting go and I’m still holding on. Reaching for a promise through a shattered dream Will you still be there? Nothing else in this world Could ever take your place.\* ---

_I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment’s gone. All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity. Dust in the wind. All they are is dust in the wind._ ---

Well, not right this second but a few days ago I would have said all of the song Blue Pastures by [James](http://www.jamestheband.com/). I’m feeling better now. ::weak smile:: Blue pastures - fade away Green rivers in silver light I’m walking to the sound of distant bells So peaceful, I don’t know who I am And just when I think it’s clear, it turns all grey again And I wonder who will find me in the snow And just when I thought I was free, I got pulled in again Once you’re in, you’re in Blue pastures calling home I’m walking, but I can’t stand anymore Hear voices, can’t tell near or far Weird voices - lay me down And I don’t see why I’m obliged to just carry on When everything I touch turns out wrong And I feel I’ve committed some crime - but I don’t know what I’ve done One day life just wins One day life just wins Still breathing, but I’m tired and I wanna go home Still breathing, but I’m not sure anymore Still breathing, but it doesn’t really matter if I fade away Fall into this sleep - fall into the deep ---

\*a blue eyed boy meets a brown eyed girl you can sew it up but you still see the tear baby got blue skies up ahead but in this summer(?) raincloud, ours is a stormy kind of love \* yeah, I know it’s sappy. \*touch me, take me to that other place reach me, i know I’m not a hopeless case what you don’t have you don’t need it now what you don’t know you cant feel somehow what you dont have you dont need it now\* both are U2 songs- I have been in a U2 place for weeks, interrupted only by the occasional REM song. ---

Sapphire, the line you’re questioning is: “Baby got blue skies up ahead, but in this I’m a rain cloud, ours is a stormy kind of love.” ---
