Shakespeare Quote #3

I memorized this whole speech too!

Hamlet: To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a see of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th' opressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
The patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietous make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscious does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.
-Shakespeare, Hamlet

Right Where I Belong

There's a difference in spending time with me
And killing time while I'm there
On too many people and too many things
And it makes me feel like hell
You're half gone as I can see
And all of this she says to me

There's too many questions
And too many strings
And they won't keep this thing tied
On a roller coaster ride
It feels like I'm lying
Next to a ghost at night

I don't know why I gave you my heart
'Cause sometimes it feels so wrong
But in spite of all this weather
I know why we are together
And I swear right now
I'm right where I belong

I know I get a little bit crazy
But I never done you no wrong
Well I get distracted and carried away
And it's been this way too long
But I don't know what you need from me
'Cause all I know is what I can see

There's too many questions
And too many strings
And they won't keep this thing tied
On a roller coaster ride
It feels like I'm lying
Next to a ghost at night

I don't know why I gave you my heart
'Cause sometimes it feels so wrong
But in spite of all this weather
I know why we are together
And I swear right now
I'm right where I belong

I'm right where I belong
Go on, play it for me son

There's too many questions
And too many strings
And they won't keep this thing tied
On a roller coaster ride
It feels like I'm lying
Next to a ghost at night

I don't know why I gave you my heart
'Cause sometimes it feels so wrong
But in spite of all this weather
I know why we are together
And I swear right now
I'm right where I belong

It's for the Best

And it takes more time
Than I've ever had
Drains the life from me
Makes me want to forget
As young as I was
I felt older back then
More disciplined
Stronger and certain

But I was scared to death of eternity
I was saved by grace but destroyed by naivety
And I... lied... to my...self
And said... it... was for... the best

And now faith is replaced
With a logic so cold
I've disregarded what I was
Now that I'm older
And I know much more
Than I did back then
But the more I learn
The more I can't understand

And I've become content with this life that I lead
Where I drink to much
And don't believe in much of anything
And I... lie... to my...self
And say... it's... for... the best

We're moving forward
But holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on
Something that'll never come

We're moving forward
But holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on
Something that'll never come

We're moving forward
But holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on
Something that'll never come
(I... lie... to my...self)

We're moving forward
But holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on
Something that'll never come
(And say... it's... for... the best)

We're moving forward
But holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on
Something that'll never come
(I... lie... to my...self)

We're moving forward
But holding ourselves back
And we're waiting on
Something that will never come
(And say... it's... for... the best)
