One of the greatest bands is Garbage. They are much like Metallica, but with a woman's touch. Not the usual "woman's touch," but an angry woman's touch. I love this band's songs. Check them out.

LYRICS

AS HEAVEN IS WIDE

Nothing that you say will release you
Nothing that you pray will forgive you
Nothings what your words mean to me

Something that you did will destroy me
Something that you said will stay with me
Long after you're dead and gone

Chorus
If flesh could crawl my skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here
As far from God as Heaven is wide
As far from God as angels can fly

If holy is as holy does
This house will burn straight down to Hell
Take it's concious with it as it falls

Nothing said could change the fact
My trust was blind you broke the pact
If God's my witness God must be blind

Chorus

I wish

Take it back I dare you take it back
No you can't you should have thought of that
What's inside a man that goes so wrong

Choke on guilt that's far too good for you
Say one word I'll laugh and bury you
Leave you in the place that you left me

Chorus

I wish I could fly

I THINK I'M PARANOID

You can look but
You can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to proove

I think I'm paranoid
And complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulated

HOLD HER CLOSER
When you see love,
And you don't know what it is
You might find yourself in fear
To show your heart
But when you feel it
And it's oh so wonderful
You might find yourself in fear
To let it part.
So hold her closer when she cries
Hold her closer when she feels
She needs a hand to hold
Someone who'll never let her go again
And hold him closer when he tries
To hold the tears back from his eyes
Don't say goodbye
When your heart decides
That it's time to let it through
There's no reason to be scared
To open up
Cause love may be blind
But all of us don't see it
So just once in your life
If you hear the knock of love
Just let it in
Hold her closer when she cries
Hold her closer when you know it's time to say goodbye
You hurry back to see her smile again
And hold him closer when he's down
When his world is upside down
Turn it around

Travis Tritt

I WISH I WAS WRONG
I never saw it coming
Learned the hard way that love is blind
But you can't deny the bitter truth
When it's right before your eyes
But I wish I was wrong
Your love for me is gone
I know beyond a doubt there's no use in hanging on
But I wish I was wrong
The world trembled beneath me
It was more than I could stand
That you'd take comfort in the arms
Of another (wo)man
I searched my heart for answers
I looked deep down in my soul
From denial to revelation
That I'd have to let you go
Yes I wish I was wrong.

My poem

MUSICAL HEALING

Painfully my fears you voice,
from inside I feel the force
It eats me slowly inside out,
and drives me on this empty course
To worlds where I can be myself,
And I am not afraid of me
I fall into the melody,
and in these words I am free
The music and emotions kiss,
I owe my sanity to this
I appreciate your openess,
as I'm Engulfed with musical bliss.

Would you be there?

If I needed you so desperately
To come to me and talk to me
To take my heart and hand into your comfort zone
Where I'm not alone or lonely
Well would you take the time to be my friend
Cause in the end that's all there is
There's love the eternal bond between us
Would you be there?
When the lights are down low and I'm feeliong insecure
With this bed so big and cold only memories to hold
It's your voice I need to hear to help me overcome this fear
I need your hand to help my heart from sinking into this quicksand of love
If I told you that I couldn't bear to be alone
Would you be there?
And if I said I need your heart to be my home
Would you let me stay there?
Would you be there for me?
Can't you see?
I need you and you need me tonight
Close your eyes
Realize
I've got so much love to give to you.

FADE TO BLACK

Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now He's gone
No one but me can save myself, but it to late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death Greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

UNTIL IT SLEEPS

Where do I take this pain of mine
I run, but it stays right my side

So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me, until it sleeps

Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once, and now it stays
So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, until I'm clean

It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me

Until it sleeps

So tell me why you've choosen me
Don't want your grip, don't want your greed
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me, until it sleeps

It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me

Until it sleeps

I don't want it
So tear me open, but beware
The things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, 'till I'm clean...

I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the fear still shapes me
So hold me, until it sleeps...

Until it sleeps...

JELLY
I saw our future in her eyes
We searched for love amidst the lies
I didn't mean to draw her in
To a fight we'll never win
And I sigh as...
She becomes like jelly in my hands
She told me things I never heard
And I just drank her everyword
We swallow all that love can give
Cause love's the reason that we live
And I cry as...
She becomes like jelly in my hands
We crossed our T's
With gazing eyes
We knew it all was finalized
Built this love on sinking sand
And I'm ashamed that I'm afraid to lend
A hand as...
She becomes like jelly in my hands.

Let Me be the One

So you're scared to show your feelings
Baby I do understand
Well I don't make a promise I can't keep
And I vow to be a real good friend
In those big green eyes I see a glow of love
I just hope I'm the one you're dreaming of
Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Let me be the one
We spend all our time together
We can't stand to sleep alone
When you say you have to leave for now
I miss you before you're gone
All along we thought this was absurd
Every moment we spend goes by too fast
Darling take this chance with me
Cause I have eyes only for you
Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Let me be the one, For you
Don't be scared to show your feelings
Cause baby I do understand
And I don't make promises that I can't keep
And I vow to be a real good man
