These faces, no one embraces, trade your intelligence for a smile

Desperate believers, emotion dealers, have never learned to cry liquid pearls

The song that perfectly describes it? From the album London Calling, The Clash - Clampdown:

The voices in your head are calling
Stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming
Only a fool would think someone could save you
The men at the factory are old and cunning
You don't owe nothing, so boy get runnin'
It's the best years of your life they want to steal

Song : For A Fool by the Shins

Young and bright, now just a dim light, off in the distance

A fallen stone, following the path of least resistance.

If I still fight, it's just that i'm..afraid i'll slide under that spell again.

Taken for a fool

yes i was because I was a fool.

Tell me what you'd do

Lost my way in spades, I need a school.

So many times, caught up in my head at night

with a leash and lable.

If I could learn anything from this, then I'd be like

the fox in the fable, oh right

If I still fight, it just that I'm

Afraid I'll slide under that spell again

The way we used to carry on,

your stuck in my head like a terrible song

Taken for a fool

yes I was, and I was a fool

Following their rules, guess i wasn't very honest too.

Taken for a fool ( taken for a fool )

Yes, I was because I was a fool.

Heaven

Sarah McLachlan's "Elsewhere":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyk3fegcHxc

I love the time and in between
The calm inside me
In the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a
Distance I have wandered
To touch upon the years of
Reaching out and reaching in
Holding out holding in

I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as I can be
Left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand

I know this love is passing time
Passing through like liquid
I am drunk in my desire
But I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near

I believe
I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand

Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
The mold that clings like desperation
Mother can't you see I've got
To live my life the way I feel is right for me
Might not be right for you but it's right for me

I believe
I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand it
I would like to linger here in silence
