"I’m just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive kills the things you love
Fear’s a powerful thing
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It’ll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust"
— Devils & Dust by Bruce Springsteen

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

"

I woke up, and wished that I was dead
with an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you’d gone
and let the world spin madly on

and everything that I said I’d do,
like make the world brand new
and take the time for you,
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
and the world spins madly on

I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
the whole world is moving and I’m standing still

"

"You cut me down to size and opened up my eyes
Made me realize what I could not see
And I could write a book, the one they’ll say that shook the world
And then it took, it took it back from me
And I could write it down or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found and you’ll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea"
— Swallowed in the Sea by Coldplay
