Love is not love until love's vulnerable.

Vulnerable
Everywhere I look I see her smile / her absent-minded eyes / and she has kept me wondering for so long / how this thing could go wrong.
It seems to me that we are both the same / playing the same game / but as darkness falls this true love falls apart / into a riddle of her heart.
Shes so vulnerable, like china in my hands / shes so vulnerable and I dont understand / I could never hurt the one I love / shes all Ive got / but shes so vulnerable / oh so vulnerable.
Days like these no one should be alone / no heart should hide away / her touch is gently conquering my mind / theres nothing words can say.
Shes coloured all the secrets of my soul / Ive whispered all my dreams / but just as nighttime falls this vision falls apart / into a riddle of her heart, yea.
Shes so vulnerable, like china in my hands / shes so vulnerable and I dont understand / I could never hurt someone I love / shes all Ive got / but shes so vulnerable / oh so vulnerable.
Dont hide your eyes...

How Vulnerable And Defenceless Man Is
How vulnerable and defenceless man is
on the ways that we daily go,
so curtailed to the border of his body and soul
always busy with the details
that is beaconing his way in life.
How vulnerable and defenceless man is
far too easily hurt by his fellow-man
like a flower that far too easily whither and perishes,
so curtailed to the border of his body and soul
in the short scope of the earthly life
days and nights continue on and on.
How vulnerable and defenceless man is
too sentimental for every unfulfilled wish,
sometimes irresolute about the choices that lie before him,
so curtailed to the border of his body and soul
too easily wounded when somebody curses him
if he has got to take notice;
how vulnerable and defenceless man is
so curtailed to the border of his body and soul.

Love To Be Vulnerable
I am vulnerable
To the tempting depth of the sky
and the stars beyond my eye.
I am vulnerable
To the damp green moss
The soil soaks in
To the smell of dreams
an evening of birdsongs exude.
I love to be vulnerable
To the belief that this world
Despite the stinks of hatred
Will survive by love!

Fault
Why did I let you inside my life
How could I let you inside my body my soul my brain
Now I cant make you go away
You're driving me insane and inside outand#8230;
I can tell
Its meaningful and so hurtful
There's no place just to hide
I can tell you right now that this pain that I feel is not just inside of my mind
I can tell you right now that its physical and painful to be so vulnerable
This is my fault
Oh this is my fault
How could I lie to myself again
These bad decisions a never ending story
I think id know by now just how to bout to smile
You're driving me insane and inside outand#8230;because
Its meaningful and so hurtful
There's no place just to hide
I can tell you right now that this pain that I feel is not just inside of my mind
I can tell you right now that its physical and painful to be so vulnerable
I can tell you this pain is so unreal cant help but feel left all alone
I can tell you to listen to me when I say to you I know
This is my fault
Oh this is my fault
I know this is my fault [x4]
I can tell you right now that this pain that I feel is not just inside of my mind
I can tell you right now that its physical and painful to be so vulnerable
I can tell you this pain is so unreal cant help but feel left all alone
I can tell you to listen to me when I say to you I know
This is my fault
Oh this is my fault

Only In the Winter
Why is it only in the winter
that we notice them?
The vulnerable on our streets,
the runaways and those
who have lost their way.
They are there all year around
in their cardboard houses
the places they call home.
Why is it only in the winter
that we finally become aware?
In the big cities, they are everywhere.
When the city goes to sleep
some huddle in doorway shelters,
where they sleep
covered in newspaper blankets
just to keep them warm.
Why is it only in the winter
we want to notice them?
They are there through
all the four seasons,
yet it is only in the winter
their plight becomes newsworthy.
What happened to spring summer and fall?
Don’t those seasons count at all.
They are still vulnerable
in whatever season comes to call,
the runaways and those
who have lost their way.
Why is it only in the winter
that we open our blind eyes
to the plight of these vulnerable lives?
Sadly, to a lot of us
it is only in the winter
and its freezing chills
that we suddenly realize
those less fortunate than ourselves.
However, they are there
everyday of every year
and not just only in the winter.
15 December 2009

How Frail Fragile And Vulnerable We All Are
HOW FRAIL FRAGILE AND VULNERABLE WE ALL ARE
How frail fragile and vulnerable we all are
How in an instant we can be destroyed –
Who knows where when how
The next Disaster will come?
Who knows who the next victims will be?
We pray it will not be us –
How frail fragile and vulnerable we all are
And who knows where when how
The next Disaster will come?

The Vulnerable
Is your heart capable of love?
Or is the past filled with ravens?
Love is a spring day amidst the grief
Many no longer feel it
Lust takes the place of the sun
Hearts fill with stone
The temptation too not feel
Loss of trust
Replaced by dark dreams
Vulnerability a thing of the past
Dark castles deep with chains
Imprisoned by self exile
Do you remember the days of blue?
When fields were filled with spring
Innocent dreams came like robins
Everything was a song of life
Visions of a first kiss like a rose
Lovely wild flowers blossomed
Smiles touched the bedrock of dreams
First flush of young love
Nights of soft sweet fire
Earth seemed like Eden
Couples glow with moonlight
I crave love
Only the vulnerable have a chance
Only the vulnerable walk the stars

Loving Pain
Can you love when your heart is so cold
Love on your lips and lies in your eyes unfold
You’ve convoluted the truth of what is real
How can you love when you don’t want to heal
Your pain is your lover now cant you see
Your pain you have discovered keeps you free
If you share your pain with me vulnerable you will be
To vulnerable to concede that love is something you need
Let me touch you let me kiss you gently in that spot
Where they cut and poisoned the wound still burning hot
It’s not a matter of trust or you would run to my arms
It’s a matter of keeping close the pain that causes you harm
You caress your pain it belongs only to you
You exchange the shame for strength and truth
The unknown your fear the pain is near and dear
Every tear it becomes clear year after countless tears
I don’t care if you lie to me I can read between the lines
I don’t care if you care or not I care I wont deny
And when you let me in to tend and mend your pain
Gently caressing, kissing your pain because I too live in vain

Half A Mind
Sometimes I wish we had a short term memory just enough to recognize each others face
It would be the same old stories but youre hanging onto every single word I have to say
And to the world Im not that clever but you would stay with me forever
Id keep your friends from reminding, reminding you to
Save yourself, leave me behind you would if you had half a mind
Id tell you every days your birthday and every gift I bring could be the same
Or how I stood beside you at a shotgun wedding and the child we once would love but never came
Hearing stories that were never you would stay with me forever
But Id forget to make money and youd forget to
Save yourself, leave me behind you would if you had half a mind (how vulnerable you are)
Write a note to remind you you would if you had half a mind (how effortless to stay together)
For these ties you may have severed now youll stay with me forever
And so you write on your forehead, or better yet you engrave
So when you look in the mirror, well you wont forget to
Save yourself, leave me behind you would if you had half a mind (how vulnerable you are)
Write a note to remind you you would if you had half a mind (how effortless to stay together)
If we had no memory whatsoever we would stay right here forever

When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable.

Vulnerable
Cierro los ojos y el alma para no ser vulnerable
Para no hundirme en la inmensa prolongacin del engao
Hoy me hacen falta palabras
Para decir lo que siento
Hoy descubr que era cierto
Lo que me andaban diciendo
Hoy se derrumba mi razon
Hoy no tendrs mi bendicin
Hoy se termina la prisin
Hoy tocar la luz
No quiero ver lo que pase
Todos los dias afuera
No quiero ver que tus balas
Toquen mi piel con su hoguera
Hoy se derrumba mi razn
Hoy no tendrs mi bendicin
Hoy se termina la prisin
Hoy tocar la luz
Tu amor es frio
Como la sangre de tu mente muerta
Queriendo volverse fuego
Tu amor es frio
Como la escarcha que cubre tu escencia
Queriendo volverse agua.
Cierro los ojos y el alma
Para no ser vulnerable
Para no hundirme en la inmensa prolongacin del engao
Hoy se derrumba mi razn
Hoy no tendrs mi bendicin
Hoy se termina la prisin
Hoy tocar la luz
Tu amor es frio
Como la sangre de tu mente muerta
Queriendo volverse fuego
Tu amor es frio
Como la escarcha que cubre tu escencia
Queriendo volverse agua.
Tu amor es frio.
Tu amor es frio

Perfect World
What a pretty life you have
Oh boy, its a pretty life
And I would need a map
Just so I could navigate the back yard
Home is very ordinary
I know I was born to lead a double life
Of murder, strife, and misery
And when I find it, I know Ill make sense of me
I want to be cool, tall, vulnerable, and luscious
I would have it all if Id only had this much
No need for lucifer to fall if hed learn to keep his mouth shut
I would be involved with you
I know the girls
That live inside your world
Just sitting next to a mortal makes their skin crawl
I want to be cool, tall, vulnerable, and luscious
I would have it all if I only had this much
No need for lucifer to fall if hes learn to keep his mouth shut
I would be involved with you...
With you.

We all need somebody to talk to. It would be good if we talked... not just pitter-patter, but real talk. We shouldn't be so afraid, because most people really like this contact; that you show you are vulnerable makes them free to be vulnerable.

Though I am still very vulnerable to audiences - and it happens all the time - where for some reason the energy doesn't connect and, since the film is very personal, obviously I am made to feel very vulnerable by that.

Linda Hamilton is my hero. She was so tough and so strong and so vulnerable at the same time. I think that's what woman action figures are allowed to be: vulnerable, in a way that women are.

Why u treating me so wrong
when all I try to be is so strong
don't want me to maintain
please stop messing with my brain my baby
Bridge:
ohohoh
yeahyeahyeah
let's get it on to the early morn
ohohoh
yeahyeahyeah
let's break it down baby break it down
Chorus:
I gotta bad name
being the bad man I am
doing bad thangs
hang around with my bad friends bad clan
doing bad stuff
me and u all the same
time to get rough
Quien lo hizo no lo se
No fui yo, pero al final
La historia me absolver
Porque no estuve yo en el lugar
De todos lados me disparan
Los malos hbitos se acaparan
A mis errores ellos me amarran
No solo tengo cosas malas
Soy humano igual que todos
No soy perfecto igual que todos
Vulnerable como todos
Quiero que me traten como a todos
Quien tiene la respuesta
Por que no comprendo lo que hacemos
En el fondo yo soy bueno
Quien lo hizo nunca sabremos
(Translated)
Who did it?
I don't know
It wasnt me, but at the end
The history will absolve me
Cuz I wasn't at the current place
From all sides I get blamed
And the bad habits can be monopolized
To my errors they attach me
Like if I only have bad things
I'm human, like everyone
Not perfect, like everyone
Vulnerable, like everyone
I just want to be treated like everyone
Who got the answer?
