  "i have bipolar disorder" (armbandsnbraidsx)

MDJunction to me

djfilippone"Before I found this site I felt so alone.  Watching my daughter struggle with IH and being treated like she had two heads from doctors.    I have plenty of family and friends but there was nobody that really knew what she was going through.
I not only have support and love from others who will listen and share their
story, but I have made some forever friends.  Having this support site does make a difference to many.

Lyrics That Speak To Me... X Amount Of Words.

Feb 22 2012

Below are the lyrics to a song I recently stumbled upon by Blue October.  The frontman and main song writer for this amazing band, Justin Furstenfeld, has been struggling with bipolar for quitea while as well and his music really speaks to me.  Let me know what you think.

 

 X-Amount Of Words lyrics

Relapse
Prevent trigger intent
Now drown
High strung
Say X amount of words

Your solar, bipolar
Panic disorder
Seems harder and harder and harder
Still you try to control it

You mold, you mold
Yeah you shape to mold
Oh you're bold you're bold
But your shape is bold

You're a symptom superficial
To what they call knowing you
Minus the speed,
Could you imagine the phobia?

Your brain is faulty wiring
the reason for tiring
Keep treating the curse,
Imagine the worst
Systematic, sympathetic
Quite pathetic, apologetic, paramedic
Your heart is prosthetic

A plate of quite peculiar
On a dish of my own
A tablespoon of feather
tickle me to the bone
Give me recipes for happy
with the chemicals gone
Drinking freedom from a bottle
to the tune of belong

I'm sick of shaking
never waking
from the hell I achieve
I never knew you till you left me
with the crying disease

Another curing, reassuring
way to buckle the knees
So mistreated, I repeated
Never blessing your sneeze

Now deleted and defeated
I will stand on my own
Yeah your memory that punches me
has broken the bone

Give me recipes for sorry
I'm admitting I'm wrong
Still your memory that punches me
has broken the bone

(Blue October, X Amount of Words)

kind of says the way it is, but we can not just give up. our thoughts make us what we are, good and bad makes us whole.

Totally!!! I love Blue October for this reason, he struggles and is still making it- using his issues to relate and give hope to others. smilies/smiley.gif

I too find their music a bit of inspiration, the lead singer has been hospitalized a few times during their career and has never hid his issues, he is up front and uses them as inspiration for his music. Love that.
