2 AM and she calls me cause I'm still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season.
Yeah we walk through the doors so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason.

Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
and life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button girl
So cradle your head in your hands.
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe, just breathe

May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss
"Just a day," he said down to the flask in his fist
Ain't been sober since maybe October of last year
Here in town you can tell he's been down for while
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold him maybe I'll just sing about it

Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button boys so cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breath just breathe

There's a light at each end of this tunnel
You shout cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made
You'll just make them again if you'll only try turnin' around

2 AM and I'm still awake writing this song
If i get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me
Threatening the life it belongs to.
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary screamin' out aloud
And I know that you'll use them however you want to.

But you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand...yeah breathe
Just breathe, oh oh breathe, just breathe, oh breathe,
just breathe, oh breathe, just breathe

Breathe (2 am) - Anna Nalick

 

[ahk114007]

How long before I get in
Before it starts before I begin
How long before you decide or
Before I know what it feels like
Where to, where do i go?
If you never try then you'll never know
How long do i have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine


Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I start before I can stop or
Before I see things the right way up


All that noise and all that sound
All those places I have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show ya how it all began
Birds came flyin from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand

Ideas that you'll never find
All the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China all lit up
A sign that I couldn't read
or a light, that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
When others are puzzles, puzzlin me

All that noise and all that sound
All those places I have found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show ya how it all began
Birds came flyin from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh when you see it then you'll understand

All those signs I knew what they meant
Somethings you can't invent
Some get made, and some get sent
Earth's gone flying at the speed of sound
To show ya how it all began
Birds came flyin from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh when you see it then you'll understand

"If none of us believe in war, then can you tell me what the weapons for, listen to me everyone-if the button is pushed there'll be nowehere to run;
giants sleeping, giants winning wars w/in their dream, till they wake when it;s too late and in gods name blaspheme.
Killer of giants, threatans us all, mountians of madness standing so tall; marches of protest not stopping the war-or the killer of giants, the killer of giants"

some of the lyircs from
"Killer of Giants" by Ozzy Ozbourne

 

[NIMBYatheist42!!!]

Then when you let it
You asked for nothing
Why don't you share it
All of the time you live
There's something out there

Just wanna know, how far to live on
This one will ever know in this town
And in the red room
At a distance

How would you know it
You're the same when you're living
I don't know it
It won't be this

Just wanna know, how far to live on
Just wanna know, how far to live on

All of the time you wait, there's someone out there
And then no one can find all the red

How would you show it
You can see through the red
I don't know it
It won't be this time
BY BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE

 

[absolutely_lost_86]

Deliverance - This Present Darkness

Drive-by shootings fill fear in the hearts of the city
A shortage of life
No warriors to fight the thugs
who rule with no pity
The leaders say it will all end
but why do they constantly lose?
because the one thing they fail to
mention is they are part of it too

A constant search for cover
a search for the remnant to pray
but mighty are the weapons of God to
combat this present darkness

Satan's plan
complacency
Knowing not the fight for your soul
Don't believe his lies
just unveil your eyes
Through prayer
Bring down the strongholds

A constant search...
A constant search...

Pin Your Wings - Copeland

Hey Amanda, where'd you find these crazy boys this time?
They say you're pretty but you don't think they're right
Hey Amanda, while you were staring at your telephone tonight
Did you feel like turning it off, turning off all the lights?

Pin your wings down
If all not over now
Pin your wings down
Just take a chance somehow

Hey Amanda, who just threw your heart away this time?
And when you're crying on your bed
Does it help keep you alive?

Pin your wings down
If it's all not over now
Pin your wings down
Just take a chance somehow

I'll take the blame if you take me home now
'Cause there's no place left for trust in all this pain
And you know when it rains in this town
I get washed away without a sound
So pin my wings down

If it's over
If it's over now
If it's over
If it's over now

Pin your wings down
If it's all not over now
Pin your wings down
Just take a chance somehow

Pin your wings down
If it's all not over now
Pin your wings down
Just take a chance somehow

Good Charlotte -We Believe

There's a woman crying out tonight
Her world has changed
She asks God why
Her only son has died
And now her daughter cries
She can't sleep at night

Downtown
Another day for all the suits and ties
Another war to fight
There's no regard for life
How do they sleep at night
How can we make things right?
Just wanna make this right

We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love

We are all the same
Human in all our ways and all of pain
(So let it be)
There's a love that could fall down like rain
(Let us see)
Let forgiveness wash away the pain
(What we need)
And no one really knows what they are searching for
(We believe)
This world is crying for so much more

We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love

We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love

So this world
Is too much
For you to take
Just lay it down in front of me
He'll be everything you need
In every way

We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love
(In this love)
We believe
(In this love)
We believe
(In this love)
We believe
(In this love)

Made of Steal
Our Lady Peace

I can be anything
That you want me to be
A punching bag, a piece of string, oh
That reminds you not to think

They found the note down in your car
And it's not your fault it gets this hard
Gets this hard

Chorus:
Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
Won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight
Well I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
But your secret's safe with me

I can be anything
That you want me to be
A holy cross, some sympathy
That reminds you not to bleed

They found the note down in your car
You climbed up here to fall apart, fall apart

Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
Won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight
Well I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
But your secret's safe with me

Oh, your secret's safe with me

They knock you down
I'll pick you up
They laugh at you
I'll shut them up

But I'm not made of steel
But I'm not made of steel
But I'm not made of steel
But your secret's safe with me
Yeah, your secret's safe with me
Yeah

Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
Won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight

"It's No Good"- Depeche Mode

I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
The gods decree
You'll be right here by my side
Right next to me
You can run, but you cannot hide

Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'cause it's no good

I'll be fine
I'll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs
And come running to my open arms
When will you realise
Do we have to wait till our worlds collide
Open up your eyes
You can't turn back the tide

Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'cause it's no good

I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above

Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'cause it's no good

Superman
Five for Fighting

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a bird
I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
'Bout a home I'll never see

It might sound absurd
But don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
But won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me

Up, up and away, away from me
Well, it's alright
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy or anything

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me, inside of me
Inside of me, yeah inside of me, inside of me

I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
I'm only a man looking for a dream
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
And it's not easy
It's not easy to be me

 

[Links234]

Hallelujah
( Leonard Cohen )
Covered by Jeff Buckley and many others (Buckley is my favorite)

I heard there was a secret chord
That david played and it pleased the lord
But you don't really care for music, do you
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah .... .

Baby i've been here before
I've seen this room and i've walked this floor
I used to live alone before i knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you
But remember when i moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Well, maybe there's a god above
But all i've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ....

Sonic Reducer
( The Dead Boys)


I don't need anyone
Don't need no mom and dad
Don't need no pretty face
Don't need no human race
I got some news for you
Don't even need you too

I got my devil machine
Got my electronic dream
Sonic reducer
Ain't no loser
I'm a sonic reducer
Ain't no loser

People out on the streets
They don't know who I am
I watch them from my room
They all just pass me by
But I'm not just anyone
Said I'm not just anyone

I got my devil machine
Got my electronic dream
Sonic reducer
Ain't no loser
I'm a sonic reducer
Ain't no loser

I'll be a pharaoh soon
Rule from some golden tomb
Things will be different then
The sun will rise from here
Then I'll be ten feet tall
And you'll be nothing at all

THE SPACE BETWEEN- Dave Matthews Band

​

You cannot quit me so quickly
Is no hope in you for me
No corner y’could squeeze me
But I’ve got all the time for you, love

The space between, the tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The space between, the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain

Will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like will it rain today?
We waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games we’re playing

We’re strange allies
With warring hearts
What a wild-eyed beast you be
The space between, the wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain

Will I hold you again?
Will I hold you...

Look at us spinning out in the madness of a rollercoaster
You know you went off like the devil in a church
In the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we don’t take this ship down

The space between, where you smile and hide
Where you’ll find me if I get to go
The space between, the bullets in our fire fight
Is where I’ll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls splashed in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into your room
The space between, our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain

Take my hand
’cause we’re walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need dear
The space between, what’s wrong and right
Is where you’ll find me hiding, waiting for you
The space between, your heart and mine
Is a space we’ll fill with time
The space between...

This is all so clear...

This is my December,
This is my snow covered home...
This is my December,

Take back all the things i said to make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that i didnt feel like there was something i missed
And I
Take back all the things i said to you
And I'd..
Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to...
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to...

This is my December,
These are my snow covered trees...
This is me pretending,
This is all i need...

And I
Just wish that i didnt feel like there was something i missed

Take back the things i said to make you feel that
And I
Just wish that i didnt feel like there was something i missed

Take back all the things i said to you
And I'd..
Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to...
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to...

To have someone to come home to...
Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to...
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to...

Two songs currently in my head:

AND...

"Oh dreadful angel of mine enrich me w/the vastness of your beeing.....

I know, I know odd mix eh, black metal and the lovely stylings of the amazing Jewel Kilcher, but what can ya do eh, when you've always got TUNE{S} in your head!

Lies
Evanescence

Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again

You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above

They'll never see
I'll never be
I've struggled on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me

But through my tears breaks a blinding light
Birthing a dawn to this endless night
Arms outstretched, awaiting me
An open embrace upon a bleeding tree

Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you

They'll never see
I'll never be
I've struggled on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
They'll never see
I'll never be
I've struggled on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me

Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you

They'll never see
I'll never be
I've struggled on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me

Daughters ~John Mayer

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

King of Pain - The Police

There's a little black spot on the sun today
That's my soul up there.
It's the same old thing as yesterday
That's my soul up there.
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
That's my soul up there.
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
That's my soul up there.

I have stood here before in the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign,
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain...

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
There's a little black spot on the sun today.
It's the same old thing as yesterday,
That's my soul up there

I have stood here before in the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
I guess I always thought you could end this reign,
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

I'll always be the king of pain

 

[BOJAX]

composer: William Hay (SOCAN)


Sometimes I feel just so low when everything is troubling me
I can’t seem to find a place to turn
Can’t seem to find any place to go
Once in a while I meet a few people
Instead of acting very nice
They try to give me some advice
On maybe how to act
On maybe how to walk
On maybe how to talk
They always think they can
Shape me
Into a better man

Frustration
People always tellin’ me how to act
Don’t wanna hear from them

Once in a while I meet a new girl
She looks so fine
I make my bid
I try my lines
She looks at me and says
The girl says
I can’t have her
The girl says
She can’t be teased by me
She says she can’t be pleased by me
The girl tries to tell me how
I should act

Frustration
Tell me how
I should behave
Don’t wanna hear from these girls

Can’t stand no more

Frustration
People always trying to tell me
How they think I ought to be
Bye bye people


Special thanks to William "The Captain" Hay for revealing these mysterious lyrics to me.

Now The World (Sing The Summer version) - AFI

Summer I painted, a scene, that lit the stars for me,
Said, "I can erase it for you dear."
That summer created, those words, that came to life in three,
They were denied by you.
Summer I laid down, below, the glitter adorned night,
And silently sparkled, my own way.
Summer I laid down, by you, and shared my frail light,
You gave the dark to me.

I looked inside,
(I)
To find,
(Wanted)
The one I sent away.
(To insinuate)
I nearly froze, when I stepped inside,
(I)
To find,
(Remain)
The flowers turned to Grey.
(I self mutilate)
I closed my eyes, and kissed them one last time.

Summer a morning, so pale, alone when they found me,
As I remained sleeping, I heard them say,
"This summer created, a boy, of abject misery."
He was designed by you.
(He was designed by you)

I looked inside,
(I)
To find,
(Wanted)
The one I sent away.
(To insinuate)
I nearly froze, when I stepped inside,
(I)
To find,
(Remain)
The flowers turned to Grey.
(And self mutilate)
I closed my eyes, and kissed them..

So like a lost child,
I will hide.
And like lost lie,
I will find.

Find a way to return to the ones who made me,
Cover your eyes and we'll die together.

Will you fly for me,
Will you fly for me,
Or will you cry with me?

Will you fly for me,
Will you fly for me,
Or will you cry with me?

Will you cry for me,
(I've been a lonely one)
Will you fly for me,
(I've had this whole world)
Or will you die with me?
(Drained from me)

Will you cry for me,
(Am I the only one)
Will you fly for me,
(I've had this world)
Or will you die with me?
(Drained from me, drained from me.)

Summer I painted, a scene, that lit the stars for me,
Said, "I can erase it for you dear."
