This is mine... by Linkin Park

Breaking the Habit

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safer in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

Cultured my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I have no options left again

I dont want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

I'll paint it on the walls
Cuz I'm the one that falls
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

Jar Song by Damien Dempsey.... It's about how the Irish think because they have such a great heritage of poets and writers, they must also take on the heritage of drinking (and diddlin). Dempsey shits all over that.

Fiona Apple
Album - Extraordinary Machine
Song - a Better Version of Me
"Better Version Of Me"

The nickel dropped
When I was on
My way beyond
The Rubicon
What did I do

And of the games that I can handle
None are ones worth the candle
What can I do

I'm a frightened, fickle person
Fighting, cryin', kickin', cursin'
What should I do

Oooh, after all the folderol,
And hauling over coals stops
What will I do

Can't take a good day without a bad one
Don't feel just to smile until I've had one
Where did I learn

I make a fuss about a little thing
The rhyme is losing to the riddling
Where's the turn

I don't want a home, I'd ruin that
Home is where my habits have a habitat
Why give it a turn

Oh, after all the folderol
And hauling over coals stops
What did I learn

I am likely to miss the main event
If I stop to cry or complain again
So I will keep a deliberate pace
Let the damned breeze dry my face

Oh, mister, wait until you see
What I'm gonna be

I've got a plan, a demand and it just began
And if you're right, you'll agree

Here's coming a better version of me
Here it comes a better version of me
Here it comes a better version of me

How about "That Smell" by Lynyrd Skynyrd? Another inspirational song is "Blue Sky" by the Allman Bros., and no I'm not a country redneck. Haha.

You don't need to be a redneck to like great music.

I absolutly love the Allman Bros.. They are a hippie band if ever I heard one, so is Lynard Skinner.

Did I just say, "Lynard Skinner Dipper?????"

I imagine the Pogues don't have much to offer for recovery songs?

Or, is Christie Moore one of them?

Speaking of hippie bands, lets not forget The Grateful Dead! Wharf Rat, Attics of my Life, High Time, and numerous others would qualify, but might also lead to a trigger!

Stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin.
