We're constantly being told what other people think we are, and that's why it is so important to know yourself.

People's ignorance really pisses me off. Stupidity is when you can't help it-ignorance is when you choose not to understand something.

I will remember you; Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by; Weep not for the memories.

Sarah McLachlan

If you only try to please others, you're going to resent those people you're trying to please the ones who are often closest to you. If you choose a path that you yourself want to take, then you're going to be much kinder to the people in your life.

Sarah McLachlan

Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide, Voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time. The night is my companion, and solitude my guide. Would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?And I would be the one To hold you down, Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away. And after, I'd wipe away the tears, Just close your eyes dear.

Sarah McLachlan

Oh, baby don't give up on us. I know your heart is full of doubt, You don't need to be without These loving arms.I'll hold you through your darkest hour I'll be using all my power, So I can reach you. Oh my love, don't give up on us.

Sarah McLachlan

I'm so tired but I can't sleep, Standin' on the edge of something much too deep. It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word; We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard.

Sarah McLachlan

Open the doors that lead on in to Eden Don't want no cheap disguise. I follow the signs marked back to the beginning, No more compromise.

Sarah McLachlan

You're always waiting on the tide, It's time you decide. I've walked down long roads that seem to have no end at all. You never wanted time to end, To let my life offend.

Sarah McLachlan

In the desert of my dreams I saw you there; And I'm walking towards the water steaming body cold and bare. But your words cut loose the fire and you left my soul to bleed. And the pain that's in your truth's deceiving me, has got me scared. Oh why?

Sarah McLachlan

I've been down a long road; I'd become a stranger to myself. Digging in my heels and hoping time might be kinder if I wait it out.But nothing came from wanting. And I became so small and insecure. Didn't know the cost of all I'd lost till I found it fresh and new again.

Sarah McLachlan

Every moment marked With apparitions of your soul. I'm ever swiftly moving Trying to escape this desire.

Sarah McLachlan

Crouching down inside a deep ravine, Those angry cries pass quickly by, he can't be seen. So many ways spent hiding in so many undone plans; Forgetting what it's like to fight when no one understands.

Sarah McLachlan

I knew you wanted to tell me; In your voice there was something wrong. But if you would turn your face away from me, You cannot tell me you're so strong. Just let me ask of you one small thing. As we have shared so many tears, With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long Now are scattered on the wind...

Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting For that second chance, For a break that would make it OK. There's always some reason To feel not good enough; And it's hard at the end of the day.I need some distraction, Oh, beautiful release. Memory seeps through my veins. Let me be empty, Oh weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight.

Sarah McLachlan

Don't tell me I haven't been good to you. Don't tell me I have never been there for you. Don't tell me why Nothing is good enough.

Sarah McLachlan

Adia I do believe I failed you. Adia I know I let you down. Don't you know I tried so hard To love you in my way. It's easy let it go...Adia I'm empty since you left me. Trying to find a way to carry on. I search myself and everyone To see where we went wrong.

Sarah McLachlan

You come out at night; That's when the energy comes. And the dark side's light, And the vampires roam. You strut your rasta wear And your suicide poem And a cross from a faith That died before Jesus came. You're building a mystery.

Sarah McLachlan

Might have been the moonlight, Caught up in the sparkle in your eyes. So wicked and I know I should go slow but it's not in me to wait.Cause I'm alive and I'm on fire. Shot like a starburst into the sky. And the fury of desire it burns so bright electrifies You light me up, you take me higher.

Sarah McLachlan

Deep within I'm shaken by the violence of existing for only you...

Sarah McLachlan

In the arms of the angel, Fly away from here. From this dark cold hotel room, And the endlessness you feel. You are pulled from the wreckage Of your silent reverie. You're in the arms of the angel; May you find some comfort here.

Sarah McLachlan

What ravages of spirit conjured This temptuous rage; Created you a monster, Broken by the rule of love.
