IAMX – Song Of Imaginary Beings Lyrics	15 years ago
I... don't hear the "why use the word when the word needs the belief" at all, but "why does it hurt where my heart used to beat". Maybe I'm just missing something...

Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here Lyrics	17 years ago

Fiona Apple – The Child Is Gone Lyrics

18 years ago

I had my daughter when I was 20 and gave her up for adoption days after. When I got home from the hospital, this song was on my playlist. But immediately when I heard it, I couldn't listen to it again for a long, long time. You don't have to have an abortion or a miscarriage for this song to relate to it. Especially since most abortions are done before there's any outward sign-- the 'running [my] hand o'er a strange inversion' part was so painfully true... Overall, a gorgeous song.
