I Am Mine by Pearl Jam

This song explains how I feel, so much so, that I have some of these lyrics tattooed on my foot. "I know I was born and I know that I'll die, The in between is mine, I AM MINE!!!"

The selfish, they're all standing in line
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
Me, I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind

North is to south what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine
I am mine!!!

And the feeling it gets left behind
All the innocence lost at one time
Significant behind the eyes
There's no need to hide
We're safe tonight

The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied
I only know my mind
I am mine

And the meaning it gets left behind
All the innocence lost at one time
Significance behind the eyes
There's no need to hide
We're safe tonight
What

And the feelings that gets left behind
All the innocent broken with lies
Significance, between the lines
We may need to hide

And the meanings that get left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
We're all different behind the eyes
We're safe tonight

Built to Last by The Grateful Dead

Wonderful words of wisdom. I thought I loved this song as a child, but now I love it so much more as an adult! I had some of these lyrics written on my window sill when I was a teen. "Say no more, now just be still..."

There are times that you can beckon
There are times when you must call
You can shake a lot of reckoning
But you can't take it all
There are times when I can help you out
And times that you must fall
There are times when you must live in doubt
And I can't help at all

Three blue stars, set on the hill
Say no more, now just be still
All these trials, soon be past
Show me something built to last

Wind held by the collar
Got a cloud held by the breeze
You can walk on coals of fire
But sometimes you must freeze
There are times when you offend me
And I do the same to you
If we can't or won't forget it,
then I guess we could be through

Two blue stars, sets on the hill
Call it back, you never will
In the sky, now sinking fast
Show me something built to last.

Built to last till time itself
Falls tumbling from the wall
Built to last till sunshine fails
And darkness moves on all
Built to last while years roll past
Like cloudscapes in the sky
Show me something built to last
Or something built to try

There are times when you get hit upon
Try hard but you cannot give
Some times you'd gladly part
With what you need to live
Don't save your breath to waste your face
When you have done your best
And even more is asked of you
Let fate decide the rest.

All the stars, are gone but one
Morning breaks, here comes the sun
Through the sky, now sinking fast
Show me something built to last

Three blue stars, rise on the hill
Say no more, now just be still
All these trials, soon be past
Show me something built to last...

All the stars, are gone but one
Morning breaks, here comes the sun
Through the sky, now sinking fast
Show me something built to last
