Answer 1

I really love this Pat Green song called "Nightmare". He wrote it about his favorite singers who died too young...Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Townes Van Zandt. It inspired me so much I rented the documentary about Townes Van Zandt and now I really love his music.



Pat Green "Nightmare" Lyrics

Last night I had me a nightmare.
Dreamed that Texas was burning down.
And all those people, I'd grown up to love
were leavin' town.

So I cried oh-whoa Moses, bring a flood from the red, Red sea.
Bring back towns van zandt and my heroes back to me.
'Cause I can play these songs but it ain't the way they do.
Ain't the way they do.
I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, it was a Nightmare.

Buddy Holly, was riding on the wind.
Stevie Ray, he was too.
But when there star comes tumblin to the ground.
Not a thing the king's horses, and all the king's men could do.
Me, I just got this ol' barstool.
And man it's burning me down. (burnin' me down)
Just like a brushfire, that burns all through the night.
One of these days I'm gonna, one of these days I'm gonna burn on out.

So I cried oh-whoa Moses, bring a flood from the red, Red sea.
Bring back towns van zandt and my heroes back to me.
'Cause I can play these songs but it ain't the way they do.
Ain't the way they do.
I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, it was a Nightmare.

I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, oooo-ooh.

Answer 2

The sky is deep, the sky is dark
The light of stars is so damn stark.
When I look up, I fill with fear
If all we have is what lies here.
This lonely world, this troubled place
Then cold dead stars and empty space.
Well, I see no reason to persevere
No reason to laugh or shed a tear.
No reason to sleep or ever to wake
No promises to keep, and none to make.
And so at night I still raise my eyes
To study the clear but mysterious skies
That arch above us as cold as stone.
Are you there, God? Are we alone?
The Book of Counted Sorrows


Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne Williamson

I dont know what kind of music u listen to, but reccommend neo-soul artists, such as Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, India arie, and my favorite Common. They usually have poetic messages in their songs, especially Come Close by Common.

One should rather die than be betrayed. There is no deceit in death. It delivers precisely what it has promised. Betrayal, however, is the willful slaughter of hope.
