David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes

Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed to love
Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

Ground control to Major Tom Ground control to Major Tom:
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground control to Major Tom: Commencing countdown engine's on
Check ig-nition and may God's love be with you

This is ground control to Major Tom, you've really made the grade!
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear,
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to ground con-trol, I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in the most peculiar way
And the stars look very difeerent today

For here am I sitting in a tin can, far above the world
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

BRIDGE

Though I'm passed one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go,
tell my wife I love her very much she knows

Ground control to Major Tom:
Your circuit's dead, there's something wong.
Can you hear me Major Tom?
Can you hear me Major Tom?
Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you ...

Here am I floating round my tin can, far above the moon

David Bowie/Ground Control To Major Tom

Dead Kennedys
Moon over Marin

The crowded future stings my eyes
I still find time to exercise
In uniform with two white stripes

Unlock my section of the sand
It's fenced off to the water's edge
I clamp a gasmask on my head

On my beach at night
Bathe in my moonlight

Another tanker's hit the rocks
Abandoned to spill out its guts
The sand is laced with sticky glops

O' Shimmering moonlight sheen upon
The waves and water clogged with oil
White gases steam up from the soil

On my beach at night
Bathe in my moonlight

I squash dead fish between my toes
Try not to step on any bones
I turn around and I go home

I slip back through my basement door
Switch off all that I own below
Dive in my scalding wooden tub

My own beach at night
Electric Moonlight

There will always be a moon
Over Marin

Bottlerockit - Friday Night

Friday night im going nowhere fast
Stuck here working
Did i miss the last train
To your heart from platform two
Days till i see your face

I admit it i've found God
But i am on my own
I really like you
But i can't tell you over the phone
And now you've found me
wont you take me home
And i'll be yours
Take me home
And i'll be yours

Would she want me
Does she even know
What i am really like
After the show
Kinda stupid and i sometimes cry
What if i am not her type of guy

I admit it i've found God
But i am on my own
I really like you
But i cant tell you over the phone
And now you've found me
Wont you take me home
And i'll be yours
Take me home
And i'll be yours

She always seemed so distant to me
Wish i could talk to her
Will you take me home with you
Or should i go away

I admit it i've found God
But i am on my own
I really like you
But i cant tell you over the phone
And now you've found me
Wont you take me home
And i'll be yours
Take me home
And i'll be yours
Take me Home
And i'll be yours
Take me home
And i'll be yours
Take me home
And i'll be yours
Take me home

The Used - Maybe Memories

As we trudge along through the mud
And we tried to call it home
But we weren't alright, not at all
Not for one, for one, for one second

Never have been one to write it down
Now I think I can
I know I'm stronger now
Who's looking south
Not me I'm not looking back
I'm done denying the truth to anyone
Cause I'm alive

You showed me how
You seemed to find a hole
But I just laughed and smiled
Begged and rolled my eyes
Even cried and
Denied the truth to you
Just like the truth to me
Mostly lied

I'm not going to look back
I'm not going to look back
I'm not going to look back
I'm not going to look back

White it out like glittering wax butterflies

I'm not going to look back

Jimmy Eat World - For Me This Is Heaven

The first star I see, may not be a star.
We can't do a thing but wait.
So lets wait for one more.
And the time, such clumsy time in deciding if it's time.
I'm careful, but not sure how it goes.
You can lose yourself in your courage.

When the time we have now ends.
When the big hand goes round again.
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?

And the mindless comfort grows,
when I'm alone with my great plans.
And this is what she says gets her through it:
"If I don't let myself be happy now then when?"
If not now when?

When the time we have now ends.
When the big hand goes round again.
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?

I close my eyes and believe wherever you are,
you're an angel for me.

When the time we have now ends.
When the big hand goes round again.
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?

The Get Up Kids - Long Goodnight

Every attempt to... is filled with holes,
reads like a polygraph i'm told
I'm not bitter anyway,
let it go

I never sleep still, lest I forget,
tied down by handicaps instead,
I'm not bitter anyway, but I didn't want it to turn out this way

Sing a long goodnight, forfeit any fight
refuse to rest assured
Comes with no reply,
hold on too tight,
I hang on every word

if it all ended tonight, you know that I wouldn't mind
back to the good old times before it won

Bullet for my Valentine - Curses

We've waited far too long to,
watch it all crash and fall through
So when you feel like shit youve gotta
keep on pushing
If you saw the world through my eyes
then you wouldn't feel so highrise
It's time to take a chance,
you've gotta sit.. back.. and.. hold tight

Theres Forces working in our heads
But we don't understand them
I need a map to find my way out all the time
There's Curses Lurking in our heads
but we don't want to find them
We need to come back down and face what we've become

WE'VE BECOME

The more I think
the more I wish I would stop, and hit rewind
What i would give to have or take back then,
when no-one really cares
I remember when we all used to
Kick back, and take days off school

So many times i'd smile
many times ive cried,
but never did we try
never did we TRY......

Theres Forces working in our heads
But we don't understand them
I need a map to find my way out all the time
There's Curses Lurking in our heads
but we don't want to find them
We need to come back down and face what we've become

Its haunting me....... Im so alone
I just want to find my way back home
I'm so alone

Theres Forces working in our heads
But we don't understand them
I need a map to find my way out all the time
There's Curses Lurking in our heads
but we don't want to find them
We need to come back down and face what we've become

i beat my machine
it's a part of me
it's inside of me
i'm stuck in this dream
it's changing me
i am becoming

the me that you know he had some second thoughts
he's covered with scabs he is broken and sore
the me that you know he doesn't come around much
that part of me isn't here anymore

all pain disappears
it's the nature of
of my circuitry
drowns out all i hear
there's no escape from this
my new consciousness

the me that you know he used to have feelings
but the blood has stopped pumping and he is left to decay
the me that you know is now made up of wires
and even when i'm right with you i'm so far away

i can try to get away but i've strapped myself in
i can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
i can see it killing away all of my bad parts
i don't want to listen but it's all too clear

hiding backwards inside of me
i feel so unafraid
annie, hold a little tighter
i might just slip away

Nine Inch Nails/The Becoming

I Stay Away - Alice in Chains

Yeah, I want to travel south this year
Aaah, woah, woah
Won’t prevent safe passage here

Why you act crazy
Not an act maybe
So close a lady
Shifty eyes shady

Yeah, hey yeah, tears that soak
A callous heart

Why you act frightened
I am enlightened
Your weakness builds me
So someday you’ll see

I stay away

Why you act crazy
Not an act maybe
So close a lady
Shifty eyes shady

I stay away

Don't know any shiftys, but have a shift:

Coheed and Cambria - The Camper Velorium I: The Faint Of Heart

With the worries that I'd give her in they told the worst of me
My wanting just to hold your neck in my arms and feel me squeeze
No I'm not going to give you what you want so if you please
The sin that shapes your voice carries my ears this new disease

Did somebody take your tongue?
In worries of the words that you couldn't say if they could've saved them from
But I don't want to sleep without so i bid to you
Goodnight, tonight, sleep tight, my love

The anxious through the calming storm you'll sit as you pray for rain
I'll touch if you ask me to but how is up to you
No I'm not going to let you get up if you struggle willingly
I'll favor all your form to show you how its been done to me

with all the words you say...you'll save

You were so well behaved
As you watched them change your way
This gift for you engraved
This shift as you stretch your legs
You were so well behaved
You were so well
Who taught these tricks that make...you were so well behaved

If the world stops turning girl you better not stop when I say
If there was nothing you could do to stop it why'd you try?
Then the ground starts parting through the silence as you woke up the dead

Everything here dies alone...

But I'm not quite sure what you've been told on labor day
I'm not starting with you but the faint of heart

But I'm not quite sure what this unfolds on labor day
I'm not starting with you but the faint of heart

you are teh evil, I got over my CoCa addiction and now you made it come back! *sniffles*

AFI - 3 1/2

Open wounds in the palms of my hands,
festering through infectious time.
I feel so faint as my life spills over you.
Backstep over glass as I repent.
I fear I cannot prevent myself from spilling your life all over me.

I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
Mother, say you'll pray for me.
I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
I'm premature in my decay.
Mother, say you'll pray for me.
I'm so sick, so sick of myself.

Shards of glass swimming in my eyes.
A small voice in the back of my mind that's whispering words I never want to hear.
I pray that you won't hesitate,
as you watch me degenerate,
to reach in my wounds and extract all of my fear.

I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
Mother, say you'll pray for me.
I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
I'm premature in my decay.
Mother, say you'll pray for me.
I'm so sick, so sick of myself.

My suffocation, asphyxiation.
I've been choking on my own blood.
My suffocation, asphyxiation.
I've been choking; on my own blood!

I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
Mother, say you'll pray for me.

Yes, I am teh evil. Its easier than being teh good, and more rewarding.

Thursday - Asleep In The Chapel

Three chalk outlines sleep in the dirty street
And in our beds, under the sheets
They're the halo of guilt hanging around your neck
Next to the rosary you count falling asleep
And we're praying
These are the symptoms
Of letting go of all our hope
Since we can't compete with martyred saints
We'll douse ourselves in gasoline and hang our bodies from the lamposts
So that our shadows turn into bright lights
'White lights, white heat'
We'll make as we're blacking out in the center lane
(We swerve)
To the beat
(Spill)
All the ink
No revisions
Do you hear the church bells ringing?
Wake up!! Wake up in an outline and try to speak
With the shattered voice of the lives we lead
(Have we slept too long)
Between the bullet holes in a stained glass window state?
And we're praying
These are the symptoms
Of letting go of all our hope
(When we repent)
And we're praying
(We fall on the page)
(Read in the margins)
We are the symptoms
Of letting go of all our hope
Someday we'll be complete like modern saints
Baptize our kids in gasoline
And hang our doubts up in cathedrals
So that they turn to faith in the colored sun
'Red rain, red rain'
We'll make as we're blacking out in the center lane
(We swerve)
To the beat
(Spill)
All the ink
(No revisions)
Do you hear the church bells ringing?
They ring for you
(We woke up this morning to a sky with no air in it
And the street is filled with a thousand burning crosses
And what we thought was the sunrise, just passing headlights)
Still the choir girls sing
'Oh lord, can you save us, save us?
Oh, lord, sing hallelujah.
Oh lord, can you save us, save us?
Oh, lord, sing hallelujah.'
They are the symptoms
Of letting go of all our hope
We're falling asleep with open eyes
Falling asleep inside the chapel
Falling asleep in chalk outlines
Falling asleep as the headlights pass us by

System of a Down - Toxicity

Conversion, software version 7.0
Looking at life through the eyes of a tire hub
Eating seeds is a passtime activity
The toxicity of our city, of our city

New, what do you own the world?!
How do you own disorder, disorder?!
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence
Sacred silence and sleep.
Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep.
Disorder, disorder, disorder.

More wood for their fires, loud neighbors
Flashlight reveries caught in the headlights of a truck.
Eating seeds as a passtime activity.
The toxicity of our city, of our city,

New, what do you own the world?!
How do you own disorder, disorder?!
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence,
Sacred silence and sleep.
Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep.
Disorder, disorder, disorder.

New, what do you own the world?!
How do you own disorder?
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence,
Sacred silence and sleep.
Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep.
Disorder, disorder, disorder.

When I became the sun,
I shone light into the man's hearts,

Biffy Clyro - Kill The Old, Torture Their Young

(this. will. kill. you.)

Open your eyes! Turn your back away, from me

Sensations, collapse under broken hearts,
When times light, just when you fall asleep

And I thought, to fly away,
And clear my heart and die
That's just what I thought today.

And I thought, to smile away,
And sell fire and die
That's just what I thought today.

Where now? I'll get back I'll get back
Where now? I'll get back I'll get back
Where now? (Something's wrong), I'll get back I'll get back
Where now? (Something's wrong), I'll get back I'll get back
Hey, Hey

Nena - 99 red balloons

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
One by one, they have gone
Back at base sparks in the software
Flash the message, someone's out there
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by

99 red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky as 99 red balloons go by

99 decisions treat
99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by

99 knights of the air
Ride super high tech jet fighters
Everyone's a super hero Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify, and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by

99 dreams I have had In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you, and let it go

Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Cuz you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one?
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon that was your womb

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer?

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallow the light from the sun inside your room, yeah

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Always someone there

And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall, yeah

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on and I'll bring you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me

Grind - Alice in Chains

In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral before the body dies, yeah
Come the morning light, it's a see through show
What you may have heard and what you think you know, yeah

Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

Sure to play a part, so you love the game
And in truth your lies become one and same, yeah
I could set you free, rather hear the sound
Of your body breaking as I take you down, yeah

Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral before the body dies, yeah

Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

A favourite of mine...

Idlewild - The Bronze Medal

It felt cold inside, so we threw the radio onto the fire
It felt good to watch it, burn away to nothing

You said you felt weak
I hope its got nothing to do
With the things you told me

Nothing but your eyes
Looking down on the third place
You've got nothing but determination
To come in third

You were always going to be like this
If it's somewhere that's as cold as this
You were always meant to be like this
In the cold

It felt warm inside, so we threw the television on the fire
It wasn't frustration, because I had nothing to throw away

When there's nothing but your eyes
Looking down on the third place
When there's nothing but determination
To come in third

You were always going to be like this
When you're somewhere that's as cold as this
It was always meant to be like this
In the cold

You've got nothing but your eyes
Looking down on the third place
You've got nothing but determination
To come in third

You know that you always meant to be like this
You know that I'm always meant to be like this
You know that you always meant to be like this
You know that you're always meant to be

Nine Inch Nails - and all that could have been

Breeze still carries the sound
Maybe I'll disappear
Tracks will fade in the snow
You won't find me here

Ice is starting to form
Ending what had begun
I am locked in my head
With what I've done
I know you're trying to rescue me
Didn't let anyone get in
Left with a trace of all that was
And all that could have been

Please
Take this
And run far away
Far away from me
I am tainted
The two of us
Were never meant to be
All these pieces
And promises and left-behinds
If only I could see
In my nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me

Gone
Fading
Everything

And all that
Could have been
Could have been

Please
Take this
And run far away
Far as you can see
I am tainted
And happiness and peace of mind
Were never meant for me
All these pieces
And promises and left-behinds
If only I could see
In my nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me

You're not telling me nothing that I haven't
You're not telling me nothing that I haven't heard before
Nothing that I haven't

You´ll have to try harder than that
You´ll have to dig deeper than that
Reminds me of myself

You´ll have to try harder than that
You´ll have to dig deeper than that
Reminds me of yourself

You can´t hold your breath when you talk
Try not to let sound slip by
I come from inside you
Raise it up so I can see
Just what you´re doing to me
Do you even know why?

You can't hold your breath when you
You can't hold your breath when you talk

Your place is still at the heart of my everything (and I gotta let you know?)

Hundred Reasons - Counting the Days

Cannot understand why
You're doing this
I cope I know
But you must know
It's not all about me
Or jealousy I had
I do care
I do care

Could've destroyed
A time ago
Don't take you for a fool
But you're rushing things
Do I stand by while
You don't listen
I don't care
I do care

You can do what you want
The mental pictures I had of you
Were always more than this
What he doesn't know could still hurt him
So I choose to wish you on your way
But please just be someone
Just for me
Do nothing for me
As I want my peace
I want my peace (Why don't I feel like)

Pleased to see this place you're after
Why do I feel like I don't belong

Vex Red - Vert

Hiding away.
Keep safe.
Put your hands,
On your eyes.
They won't mind.
They're scared.
You will be fine.
I hear you whisper,
I'll be home soon.

Fake with open arms rests inside of you.
You should see the harm they can do to you.
If we stay to long, being led to sleep.
I wanted you to touch, I wanted you to see.

They'll never find you through your hands.
I tried to give you all I can.
Because I'm quiet you think I'm weak.
But all my secrets belong to me.

Fake with open arms.

The Early November - Everythings So Cold... But You're So Hot

You're smile is like the sun to me
So bright it's weakening
But so sweet
But of all that you would like from me
A smile and be okay
Sorry, it’s taken me everyday
To accept that I have to say
Say no

I’ll be right here
Say something's wrong
To just find fault
She complains the room’s too cold
But when I learn to make heat,
It's just to disappoint
Oh you know I’ll forget, so quick

Time, it makes it fine
That’s how we make this life
Makes it fine
It’s makes it right

Your eyes, they can’t see
What it takes from me
Or how it hurts
Or how it holds our hands

I’ll be right here
Say something's wrong
To just find fault
She complains the room’s too cold
But when I learn to make heat,
It's just to disappoint
Oh you know I’ll forget...

So quick

You know I always forget
You know I always forget
You know I always forget

October Project - Always

I have come to know you
Over all these years
We've seen many days come and go
After all the time we've shared
All the secrets told
Will you ever say I love you?

If you gave me nothing
Nothing more than this
I would have the mem'ry to keep
Let me make this simple wish
As we fall asleep
Let me wake with you by my side

Always

If you have to leave me
Leave me with a kiss
Tell me how you feel without words
Are you so afraid to stay
Must you be alone
Let me wake with you by my side

Always

Lacuna Coil - Distant Sun

We've never been apart
The day has come
I'm feeling that your sun
Shines away from me

Tease me
Holding my hands you smile again
I couldn't see you away from me
I do realize it now

Living in me
You are living in me
You are living in me

I feel you by my side
Your living soul wants to run away with me
Inside of me

And now
Will something happen to me?
How did I lose my guide?
You left me all alone

But now it's too late
I know it's natural but now
What can I do without your presence here?
A never-ending pain

Living in me
You are living in me

I feel you by my side
Your living soul wants to run away with me
Inside of me

I feel you by my side
And I'm sure that I can't forget you
You are inside of me

You are inside of me

You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
Help me I broke apart my insides, help me I’ve got no
Soul to tell
Help me the only thing that works for me, help me get
Away from myself
I want to f**k you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to f**k you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god
You can have my isolation, you can have the hate that
It brings
You can have my absence of faith, you can have my
Everything
Help me tear down my reason, help me its’ your sex i
Can smell
Help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody
Else
I want to f**k you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to f**k you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god
Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
You are the reason I stay alive

Closer/NIN

Boysetsfire - Bathory's Sainthood

Do you feel alive now, now that you own the dead
preying on their corpses, their hearts no longer feel
your sainthood is obvious on every starving face
youre deceptions given us a way to separate
the poor from their hate, the rich from the stone
genuflect away the sins that weve known
sure one percent rules, but heavens made of gold
so chalk it up to folly and consequence alone
do we really want do we really need a bastard messiah
wrapped up in the dream of patriotic clean white washed desire
and every time the real wars defined, the trenches are filled to hide battle lines
torches to bridges and bridges to torture
headlines distort what we see as our borders
and what gives us the right to feel with remorse for a god they created
a god for the poor, for bathory were bleeding out the devil hides in angelic shrouds
blashphemy as speaking out weve asked for it for more of the same
sad scheme of ghettos created by the power elite, for our minds and souls burning
no longer for freedom invoked just more of the same

Let me tell you the hard luck story
About a man named jack mcduff
He believed in God and glory
But he just wasn’t tough enough

I believe in the freedom song
Long live liberty!
I believe in the freedom song
I’ll choose my own destiny

Well they took him and they beat him
Underneath the old hanging tree
Saying, jack, you must die
What will your last words be?

Jack, he hung his head back
Long live liberty!
I believe in the freedom song
Doesn’t matter what you do to me

With a rope around his neck they left him hanging

Freedom/Thin Lizzy

Brand New - Sudden Death in Carolina

Last night I swallowed liquor and a lighter
and this morning I threw up fire
But it's nothing new
I've been piecing it together and it's got something to do
with every look thrown like a knife across a crowded room
And every slow and quiet car ride I spent drinking in the backseat
Every stupid melody to every stupid song,
and every stupid word that everybody's hanging on

What difference does this difference in age make?
I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick.
Call 911, I'm already dead but
someone should be caught and held responsible
for this bloody mess

Last night I fell asleep next to a liar
and I woke up with a shiner
And it's all that I remember from a night spent lying on my back with a view
of a stone white ceiling and the back of your head
And this quiet dark bed feels like the middle of nowhere
And we beat each other up just like we always do
When I'm talking to myself I'd always rather be talking to you

What difference does this difference in age make?
I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick.
Call 911, I'm already dead but
someone should be caught and held responsible
for this bloody mess

Call homicide, take the case to court
Cause her lips taste like a loaded gun
I'm her number one chalk outline on the floor

They hung her from the bridge on Monday
The gathering turned to a mob out on the lawn
They dropped her body in the river
School and work returned to normal before long
(before long... and no one will mention any of this again)

Call 911, I'm already dead but
someone should be caught and held responsible
for this bloody mess

Call homicide, take the case to court
Cause her lips taste like a loaded gun
I'm her number one chalk outline on the floor

Circle takes the Square - Crowquill

Nothing's so lucid as the promise of dreams,
but these pills we found just make me sleep.

There's nothing quite so pure
as the written word my dear,
so lets have ourselves a little poem.
Until the will to speak loses urgency.
Our animal indecency in print is so blase.

Its about the bell tower, at the golden hour.
Angel of the spires climbs here
steel cage staircase spine, angle of desire.
Ascend the wrought iron, one by one, wrung by wrung.

Is it the rising roof line that makes me feel so swallowed whole,
or the way my body barely pricks the sky,
the same as a century's worth of virgin's blood
that's passed through my longing veins,
scheming to convince
my aching mind
that pleasure's got nothing on the miracle of need.

Nothing's so purile as meter and rhyme
when you can't see the ground from that ledge
and this perch is so far, far from the nest.

Gravity doesn't grant me
the privilege of failure my bough never breaks
I don't stumble into anything
so I climb and I carve my initials in the bark
with that feather I found
but its all so contrived.
My genes didn't bless me
with the foresight of a sage
but I know how this will end,
in apologies and ink on the page.

A slowly constructed crow quilled confession
of my spirit to all of you,
black waterproof ink scars the board,
so hot-pressed, pristine and pure.
A slowly constructed manifestation of "to tremble",
as base as a bridge in a song
and less like the poem that I promised you.
Nothing's so lurid as haiku-detat
on sidewalks in white outlined chalk,
all I've got is this ink smeared lines.

With our voices in harmony,
the offering,
of a crow quilled threnody.

EDIT: to make it less stupidly hard

UnderOath - I Got 10 Friends And A Crowbar That Says You Aint Gonna Do Jack

Clearing as the sound
Wraps around the horizon
Im standing still, I'm standing still
Waiting for one change.
Now I know it's over
Im walking out, I'm walking out
What do you expect of me?

Did you think that this was all an excuse for hospitality?
I know you think it's all because of me.
At first glance I was breathing, leaving myself no room to move at all.
Why not? it's all fun and, and I'm drunk with regret, swimming in a sea of hope tonight
We'll run around and chase these people,
As we push away with everything we have,
with everything we have.

[Chorus]
Directing all my words, directing all my words
(We can start the fire, then we'll light up the night)
No I wouldn't be too sure, sure of you at all.
Sure of you at all.

We'll watch it burn together, on respective sides.
We look so good, we look so good, as we fall,
as we fall, as we fall.

I'll go ahead and re-elect perfections,
It never looked as good as it does on you right now.
I'll go ahead and make an incision, doubt she'll feel anything at all.

I think I'm gone.
So much pain, I don't notice.
At least I can say I made it out this time.
I just want for you to listen, that's why you'll be sure to cover up, to cover up your wounds.

[Chorus](x2)

I don't know how to say this
My thoughts have just run out
You've just run out

The Dresden Dolls - Half Jack

half underwater
i'm half my mother's daughter
a fraction's left up to dispute
the whole collection
half off the price they're asking
in the halfway house of ill repute

half accidental
half pain full instrumental
i have a lot to think about
you think they're joking?
you have to go provoke him...
i guess it's high time you found out

it's half biology and half corrective surgery gone wrong
you'll notice something funny if you hang around here for too
long ago in some black hole before they had these pills to take it back
i'm half jill
and half jack

two halves are equal
a cross between two evils
it's not an enviable lot
but if you listen
you'll learn to hear the difference
between the halfs and the half nots

and when i let him in i feel my stitches getting sicker
i try to wash him out but like they said:the blood is thicker
i see my mother in my face
but only when i travel
i run as fast as i can run
but
jack comes tumbling after....

and when i'm brave enough and find a clever way to kick him out
and i'm so high not even you and all your love could bring me down
on 83rd he never found the magic words to change this fact:
i'm half jill
and half jack

i'm halfway home now
half hoping
for a showdown
cause i'm not big enough to house this crowd
it might destroy me
but i'd sacrifice my body
if it meant i'd get the jack part OUT

see

jack

run.....

Alice in Chains - Fairytale Love Story

Jill, came tumbling down
At the bottom of the hill
Jack busted his crown
Ah, my fairytale love story
My fairy life
My fairytale love story
To get you off of my..
I got to thinking
Things aren't as good as they can be
I got to drinking
The b*tch is over the brink
The b*tch is over the brink
Tommy Prince, kissed a few there on the lips
She woke him with a cold sore, she ain't so pretty no more
Ah, my fairytale love story
My fairy life
My fairytale love story
To get you off of my..
I got to thinking
I'm not as sweet as them all
I got to drinking again
The b*tch is over the brink
The b*tch is over the brink
My fairytale love story
Ooo, My fairytale love story
Yeah, you're my fairytale love story
Ooo, my fairytale love story
The b*tch is over the brink
The b*tch is over the brink
Rapunzel let down your hair, I'll cut it off

Wow, most of the songs I choose for this are AIC songs.

I was sitting here thinking 'Where will I find a song with brink in it' Then out of the blue, Eels all but yell the word at me

Eels - Tiger In My Tank

I bought some rock star ashes,
from the back of rolling stone
i guess he wouldn't mind it,
they couldn't sell his soul

the tiger in my tank, is going to go extinct
and im not feelin so good myself,
i think im on the brink
of disaster

i had a dream last night
the tv and the phone
grew some legs and took a walk
and left me all alone

the tiger in my tank, is going to go extinct
and im not feelin so good myself,
i think im on the brink
of disaster

when i grow up ill be
an angry little whore,
ill give you all the finger
i'll sell you all what for

David Bowie - Hang on to Yourself

She's a tongue twisting storm, she will come to the show tonight
Praying to the light machine
She wants my honey not my money she's a funky-thigh collector
Layin on 'letric dreams

So come on, come on, we've really got a good thing going
Come on, come on, if you think we're gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself

We can't dance, we don't talk much, just ball and play
But then we move around like tigers on vaseline
The bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar
You're the blessed, we're the spiders from Mars

I was reading the posts at the start of this thread, and they are WAY shorter. I don't know about the rest of you, but generally I just look at who the Artist/Song is and then look at the key words. So I'm going to be returning to a much readable form by only copying the verses that are actually necessary to the game.

Nerf Herder - Life on Mars

Is there life on mars girl
If there is I'd like to go there
Just like Elton John, the Rocketman
He sure bought some f***ed up clothes there
I've heard it said that outer space is not the kind of place to raise your kids
But after my life so far here on Earth I sure wish my parents did
...
So yes I might miss a couple friends
And summer barbecues on the weekends
Another 40,000 coming every day
So take me away I've got nothing to lose
Nike shoes, black jumpsuits
Shaven heads and purple blankets
...

The Weakerthans - Left and Leaving

My citys still breathing but barely it's true.
through buildings gone missing like teeth.
The sidewalks are watching me think about you,
sparkled with broken glass.
I'm back with scars to show.
Back with the streets I know.
Will never take me anywhere but here.
The stain in the carpet, this drink in my hand,
thee strangers whose faces I know.
We meet here for our dress-rehearsal to say
"I wanted it this way"
wait for the year to drown.
Spring forward, fall back down.
I'm trying not to wonder where you are.
All this time...lingers, undefined.
Someone choose who's left and who's leaving.
Memory will rust, erode into lists of all that you gave me:
a blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest,
the best parts of lonely,
duct-tape and soldered wires, new words for old desires,
and every birthday card I threw away.

I wait in 4/4 time.
Count yellow highway lines...
that you're relying on to lead you home
that you're relying on to lead you home
that you're relying on to lead you home...

The Ghost Of You- My Chemical Romance

I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I knew we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever...

Ever...
Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
She dies

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me

If I fall…
If I fall…
(Down)

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna...

PJ Harvey - Sheela-Na-Gig

I've been trying to show you over and over
Look at these my child baring hips
Look at these my ruby red ruby lips
Look at these my work strong arms and
You've got to see my bottle full of charm
I lay it all at your feet
You turn around and say back to me
He said
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Just like the first time he said he didn't care
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before, no more
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Turn the corner another one there
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before
He said
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist
Put money in your idle hole
Put money in your idle hole
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Just like the first time he said he didn't care
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before, no more
Gonna take my hips to a man who cares
Turn the corner another one there
Gonna take my hips to a man who cares
Heard it before
He said
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist
Sheela-na-gig, sheela-na-gig
You exhibitionist
Put money in your idle hole
Put money in your idle hole

He said 'wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean'
He said 'please take those dirty pillows away from me'

He said 'wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean'
He said 'please take those dirty pillows away from me'

He said 'wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean'
He said 'please take those dirty pillows away from me'

He said 'wash your breasts, I don't want to be unclean'
He said 'please take those dirty pillows away from me'

Tears on My Pillow

You don't remember me,
but I remember you 't was not so long ago,
you broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart,
caused by you, you, you, you, you
Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy
When you find the one you love, he'll fill your heart with joy
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
No, no no no now, no, no no (You...)

BUMP!

New Order - Temptation

A heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like the feeling inside, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

Each way I turn, I know I'll always try
To break this circle that's been placed around me
From time to time, I find I've lost some need
That was urgent to myself, I do believe
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
And I've never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Thoughts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Oh, it's the last time
Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh no, I've never met anyone quite like you before

Bat your eyes girl.
Be otherworldly.
Count your blessings.
Seduce a stranger.
What's so wrong with being happy?
Kudos to those who see through sickness...yeah

Over and over and over and over...........

She woke in the morning.
She knew that her life had passed her by
She called out a warning.
Don't ever let life pass you by.

I suggest we
Learn to love ourselves,
Before its made illegal
When will we learn, When will we change
Just in time to see it all come down

Those left standing will make millions
Writing books on ways it should have been

She woke in the morning.
She knew that her life had passed her by
She called out a warning.
Don't ever let life pass you by.

Floating in this cosmic Jacuzzi
We are like frogs oblivious
Soon the water starting to boil,
Now I flinched and we all float face down

She woke in the morning.
She knew that her life had passed her by
She called out a warning.
Don't ever let life pass you by.
Pass you by.


Incubus - Warning

hmm, that was kinda a lame word for the end of my song, oh well.

Tell me, baby, tell me
are you still on the stoop
watching the windows close?
I've not seen you lately
on the street by the beach
or places we used to go

I've a picture of you
on our favorite day
by the seaside
there's a bird stealing bread
that I brought
out from under my nose

tell me, baby, tell me
does his company make
light of a rainy day?
how I've missed you lately
and the way we would speak
and all that we wouldn't say

do his hands in your hair
feel a lot like a thing
you believe in
or a bit like a bird
stealing bread out from under your nose?

tell me, baby, tell me
do you carry the words
around like a key or change?
I've been thinking lately
of a night on the stoop
and all that we wouldn't say

if I see you again
on the street by the beach
in the evening
will you fly like a bird
stealing bread out from under my nose?

Iron and Wine, Bird Stealing Bread

Debt on my head
Wasting time on my own

Sleep, rescue me
Take me back to my home

For the times that you wanna go and
Bust rhymes real slow
I'll appear, slap you on the face, and
Enjoy the show

Cheese smells so good
On a burnt piece of lamb
Fag of the year
Who could beat up your man

For the times that you wanna go and
Bust rhymes real slow
I'll appear, slap you on the face, and
Enjoy the show

this dope nose

For the times that you wanna go and
Bust rhymes real slow
I'll appear, slap you on the face, and
Enjoy the show


Weezer - Dope Nose

A Perfect Circle - Judith

You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I'll never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How the savior has abandoned you
F**k your God
Your Lord, your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why

It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you
Broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you

Oh so many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break
Never---choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who did this to you
You never thought to question why

Not like you killed someone
It's Not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ
As if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you
Did it all for you
He did it all for you

I was looking at a bunch of older songs, and here it's in one of the biggest songs on the radio recently.


WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR!
My god is of spiteful blood with morbid eels.
Victorious, victorious, steel,
Can you stand and kneel?
Marching forward hypocritic
and hypnotic computers.
You depend on our protection,

Yet you feed us lies from the table cloth.
la la la la la la la la la,
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.

kneeling roses disappearing,
into Moses’ dry mouth,
breaking into Fort Knox,
stealing our intentions,
every city gripped in oil,
Crying FREEDOM!

Handed to absolution,
Still you feed us lies from the table cloth.
La la la la la la la la la,
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.

Blast off, its Party time,
And we all live in a fascist nation,
Blast off, its party time,
And where the fuck are you?
….. Yeah
Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?

Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor? [X4]

Kneeling roses disappearing,
into Moses’ dry mouth,
breaking into Fort Knox,
stealing our intentions,
every city gripped in oil,
Crying FREEDOM!

Handed to absolution,
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth.
la la la la la la la la la,
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.

Where the fuck are you!
Where the fuck are you!

Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor? [X3]
Why, do, they always send the poor [X3]
They only send the poor [x2]


System of a Down - B.Y.O.B.

Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
I’m just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because I’m easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesn’t really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now he’s dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didn’t mean to make you cry-
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Body’s aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-I’ve got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I don’t want to die,
I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But I’m just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-can’t do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....

Bohemian Rhapsody/Queen

In my mind
And nailed into my heels
All the time
Killing what I feel

And everything I touch
(all wrapped up in cotton wool)
(all wrapped up in sugar-coated pills)
Turns to stone
Everything I touch
(all wrapped up in cotton wool)
(all wrapped up in sugar-coated pills)
Turns to stone

I am fused
Just in case I blow out
I am glued
Just in case I crack out

And everything I touch turns to stone
Everything I touch
(all wrapped up in cotton wool)
(all wrapped up in sugar-coated pills)
Turns to stone
-Radiohead, Blow Out
