general mix - half the damage

half the damage.
          my name's not alice but i know how she felt.


starving your friends, envy on the coast
i'm hardly capable of the half the damage that i would like to do.
'cause i fall three times as hard if it's from nothing at all,
you all seem twice as tall as i will ever be. 'cause i feel terribly small
when my head works too hard. when you think with your chest,
there's not a thing that you don't see.

unknown, lifehouse
and if this night won't let me rest, don't let me second guess
what i know to be real. put away all i know for tonight, and maybe i just might.
take my security away from me, and maybe finally i won't have to know everything.
i cannot pretend that everything makes sense.

get me right, dashboard confessional
i make my slow way home, limping on broken bones. out of the sickest heart,
onto the county lines, onto your wooden stairs. i know you can't repair,
i know you've seen the light, i know the saving type,
i know you'll get me right.

coffee and cigarettes, augustana
wake up, take your pills dear. i know this time of year ain't right for you.
you came down with a sickness, shot down back in the christmas kamikaze rain.
and i'm sure you've lost that weight again, and i'm sure the pills keep pouring in.
like smoke that falls, it's caving into you.
(we'll scream at night to make it go away.)

running up that hill, placebo
you wanna know how it feels? you wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
you wanna hear about the deal i'm making? if i only could make a deal with god
and get him to swap our places, be running up the road, be running up that hill,
be running up that building with no problems...
if i only could, i would.

sometimes i feel like alice, lisa mitchell
well it feels like i have just woke up in a world where down is up,
and up is a long way from here. the big wheels where they keep on turning,
they don't slow down, you just keep on learning. well my name's not alice
but i know how she felt when her world started turning into something else.

when i finally get my own place, aqualung
when i finally get my own place, the walls will be white,
i will stay out every night and it will be quiet. you don't need to be lonely,
you don't need to be lost. you don't need to know what you're living for,
you just knock on my door.

bedroom, daphne loves derby
i can't imagine all the things that haunt your head as you lay in bed,
and you try to find a reason to stay here. ever since the start of this,
i never knew the right thing to say to you, the right way to help you through.
hey, i know you're barely hanging on, but even with your weathered heart,
i know you'll walk into this storm.

the remedy (i won't worry), jason mraz
now something on the surface, it stings. that something on the surface,
it kind of makes me nervous, who says that you deserve this? and what kind of god
would serve this? we will cure this dirty old disease, if you've got the poison
i've got the remedy. i say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest
of your nights with the light on, so shine the light on all of your friends.

have it all, jeremy kay
some days i feel like crying, don't matter if it's rain or shine.
i feel like my heart was broken at least a million times. maybe it's too soon to be sure,
but i really do believe that someday we're gonna have it all. so i try so hard to keep
the rhythm of a train, rolling right along. when the ride gets rough you got to
carry on, carry on.

[masterlist of mixes]


a/n: this is a super personal mix. it's really center around chronic illness, but since everyone's experience is so very, very diverse, it's really a take on my own experience with illness. i made this mix maybe about half a year ago, so it feels slightly outdated in my own head now, but i really wanted to put it up for the masses!
