What brings out your inner-child?

Oh jeez. lol so many things can make me happy like a kid. Animals, music, ice cream… I could go on and on, but instead of that, I’m going to post a survey that I stole from someone recently. I’m sorry I can’t give credit because I didn’t put the damn name on the doc. smh

Answer each question with either the title of a song or the lyrics of a song. If possible include the artist’s name.
So, how are you today?
My anxiety’s clawing
Out from deep within me
It burns within as my throat begins to cauterize
This negativity’s leeching
Any shred of composure
Rationale has decayed and left me bound in madness
Strife~ Trivium

What’s a dream/wish you have?
And we will sway in the moon
The way we did
When we were younger
(When we were younger)
When we told everybody
All you need is now
Stay with the music let it
Play a little longer
(A little longer)
We don’t need anybody
All you need is now
All You Need Is Now~ Duran Duran

What’s something you really hate?
You kill me with silence
That’s your style, girl, you’re letting me know
This deafening silence, the only reason that you’re in control
You’re in control
It’s emotional violence, I can’t breathe now but I can’t let go
You kill me with silence
Kill Me With Silence~ Duran Duran

And something you’re afraid of?
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don’t struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it’s much too late to get away or turn on the light
The Spiderman is having you for dinner tonight
Lullaby ~The Cure

What was your childhood like?
They’re creepy and they’re kooky
Mysterious and spooky
They’re all together ooky
The Addams family
Addams Family Theme Song

What do you think it feels like to die?
Standing
On the edge of the quay
No light flashes on the water for me
Fog in my mind darkens in my eyes
Silently streaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows
Rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night
Listen to the rising water moan
Night Boat~ Duran Duran

What is the most important person in your life like?
Even though I’ve fed my hunger
Even though I’ve named my fear
I’ll never understand it
How the journey led me here
But I have made a promise
That I intend to keep
My love, wherever I go
I take you with me
I Take You With Me~ Melissa Etheridge

Describe your favorite place to be at.
Sit beside a mountain stream
See her waters rise
Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies.
Mother Nature’s Son ~The Beatles

What is the book you last read or are currently reading like?
There’s a better way
I know there’s a better way
When I need it, and I need it for sure everyday
Fill up the museum, an island in the sun
More things that I don’t need just pick me up
Head for the waterfall, don’t drown in the juice
Make the right noises maybe I’ll be alright
How come it’s so hard to climb
And so easy to slide?
How come it’s so easy to fly
And so hard to thrive?
Better Way~ John Taylor

Describe your favorite fictional character.
So your confidence is quiet
To them quiet looks like weakness
But you don’t have to fight it
‘Cause you’re strong enough to win without a war
Every heart has a rhythm
Let yours beat out so loudly
That everyone can hear it
Yeah, I promise you don’t need to hide it anymore
Oh, and never be afraid of doing something different
Dare to be something more
Invisible~ Hunter Hayes

What would you say to your five-years-younger-than-you-self? (As in, to yourself five years ago)
I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don’t know why I instigate
And say what I don’t mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I know it’s not alright
So I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit tonight
Breaking the Habit~ Linkin Park

Describe yourself.
Pay my lip service
Keep it eloquent
Optimistic but
Never quite elegant
Still a weirdo
Still a weirdo, after all these years
Still A Weirdo ~KT Tunstall

If your partner broke up with you (or alternatively, if your best friend ended your friendship), what would you feel like / how would you react?
Why do I desire the space?
I was mourning after you
I was lost and lost my shape
There was nothing I could do
I don’t want to waste away
It was all I gave to you
Take me back and take my place
I will rise right up for you
But you, amplified in the silence
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Magnified in the science
Anatomically proved that you don’t need me
The Silence ~Manchester Orchestra

What would be the title of your biography?
I been doing a good job of makin’ ‘em think
I’m quite alright
But I hope I don’t blink
You see its easy when I’m stomping on a beat
But no one sees me when I crawl back underneath
Fake Happy ~Paramore

Describe your workplace.
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way
My Way ~Frank Sinatra

Describe your favorite season.
Look at the autumn shade
You are white and I am grey
Looking at the autumn shade, oh yeah
Autumn Shade 2 ~The Vines

What’s something you believe in? (Can be religious, political - anything, really)
We’ve strangled all her trees and starved her creatures
There’s poison in the sea and in the air
But worst of all we’ve learned to live without her
We’ve lost the very meaning of our lives
And now she’s gonna die
Death of Mother Nature ~Suite Kansas

What would your personal hell look like?
She thinks my tractor’s sexy
It really turns her on
She’s always starin’ at me
While I’m chuggin’ along
She likes the way it’s pulling
While it’s tillin’ up the land
She’s even kinda crazy ?bout my farmers tan
She’s the only one who really
Understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor’s sexy
She Thinks My Tractors Sexy ~Kenny Chesney

What is your love life like?
We’re swimming and I keep going under
Had enough of the fog, sheets, and thunder
Can’t we begin being bored and breezy
See our way back into a clearing day
We Have Everything ~Young Galaxy

And, lastly… If you had to get song lyrics on your tombstone, which ones would you choose?
I’ll see you in some other lifetime
On the other side of what we’ll never know
Together we have walked a fine line
Now we go to face the universe alone
The Universe Alone~ Duran Duran
