Set Apart This Dream

There are some songs out there that I think everyone should hear.

Yes, we could all do without Rebecca Black's 'Friday', and I'd be just fine if I never heard anything by Miley Cyrus ever again in my life. But 'Set Apart This Dream' by Flyleaf is one of those songs that I think every girl should add to their 'I feel ugly today so I listen to this' playlist. 

Set Apart This Dream - Flyleaf

Close your eyes little girl
You're a princess now, you own this world
Twirling in your twirly dress
You're the loveliest far above the rest

You build your castles in the skies
Stars reflecting off your eyes
And angels sing on silver clouds
And no one cries, screams or shouts

Oh, set apart this dream
Oh, set apart this dream for me
Set apart this dream for me

Close your eyes pretty girl
'Cause it's easier when you brace yourself
Set your thoughts on a world far off
Where we only cry from joy

Oh, set apart this dream
Oh, set apart this dream for me
Set apart this dream for me

Oh, lovely and beautiful, precious and priceless
You're so much more than you know, heart of the purest gold
Pure clean and white as snow clothed in such splendor
Oh, what a beauty for me

Set apart this dream
Set apart this dream

Oh, set apart this dream
Oh, set apart this dream for me
Set apart this dream for me

For someone like me, this song says everything I wished someone would say. Perfect? Priceless? Lovely? None of those words crossed my mind in reference to myself. But it's true: no matter the damage done, we as people are still all of these things. Sometimes when I feel like I'm nothing at all to anyone anywhere, I'll listen to this shit, or I'll scream it in my car, and then I feel better. Because it's true. 

I wish I could explain to you people what this stuff means. What it does to you when you hear it. It's hard finding a reason to go on when all you know about yourself is that you don't deserve to. Then you hear something like this, and if you let yourself believe it, it's just like, "Holydumbfuck!" 

Anyway. Listen to this song. 

Hang on,
