In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape
Broken branches trip me as I speak
Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there
Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there
There's always a siren singing you to shipwreck (don't reach out, don't reach out)
Stay away from these rocks we'd be a walking disaster (don't reach out, don't reach out)
Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there (there's someone on your shoulder)
Just coz you feel it doesn't mean it's there (there's someone on your shoulder)
There there...
Why so green
And lonely
Heaven sent you
To me
We are accidents waiting
Waiting to happen
-Radiohead, There There

Tool - Undertow

Two times now (times now)
I've been struck down by a voice that
Speaks from deep beneath the endless water

It's twice as clear as Heaven
Twice as loud as reason
Deep and rich like silt on a riverbed
And just as never-ending

The current's mouth below me
Opens up around me
Suggests and beckons all while swallowing
Surrounds and drowns and sweeps me away

But I'm so comfortable
Too comfortable

Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
You're saturating me
How could I let this bring me back to my knees?

Third time now (time now)
I've been baptized by a voice that
Screams from deep beneath the cold and black water

It's half as high as Heaven
Half as clear as reason
Clear and black like silt on a riverbed
Just as never-ending

The current's mouth below me
Opens up around me
Suggests and beckons all while swallowing
Surrounds and drowns and wipes me away

But I'm so comfortable
Too comfortable

Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
You're saturating me
How could I let this happen?

Why don't you kill me?
I am weak and numb and insignificant
How could I let this bring me back to my knees?

Euphoria
Euphoria
Euphoria
Euphoria

I'm back down
In the undertow
I'm helpless and awake
I'm in the undertow
Awake down beneath the undertow
There doesn't seem to be a way out of the undertow

Euphoria

Feeder - Dry

Trying hard to face another day
No more left to give, nothing left to bring
Melting in the sun, breathing in the day
Falling into love, and climbing out again
There's nowhere left to run
No more tears to cry
The river's running dry
There's no more left to give
Love has left me dry
Reaching out beneath the sea of pain
Riding high on waves of hope again
Chipping as the storm face cracks away
Crying out again as my bones break
Yeah...
Oooh... (Love has left me dry)
What if every minute like a year?
What if we could save ourselves from this?
Life is such a bitch and it gets worse
Fading like a rope around your neck
Oooh... (Love has left me dry)
Love has left me dry
Oooh...
The river's running dry again...

Thursday - For the Workforce, Drowning

Falling from the top floor your lungs
fill like parachutes
the windows go rushing by.
the people inside they're
dressed for the funeral in black and white.
These ties strangle our necks, hanging in the closet,
filed in the cubicle;
without a name, just numbers,
on the resume stored in the mainframe, marked for delete.
please take these hands
throw them in the river,
wash away the things they never held
please take these hands,
throw me in the river,
dont let me drown before the workday ends.
9 to 5! 9 to 5!
and we're up to our necks,
drowning in the seconds,
ingesting the morning commute
lost in a dead subway sleep
now we lie awake in our parents beds,
tossing and turning.
tomorrow we'll get up
drive to work,
single file
with everyday
just like the last.
waiting for the life to start,
is it always just always ahead of the curve...
please take these hands
throw them in the river,
wash away the things they never held
please take these hands,
throw me in the river,
dont let me drown before the workday ends.
just keep making copies
of copies
of copies
when will it end?
it'll never end,
'til it gets so bad
that the ink fills in our fingerprints
and the silhouette of your own face becomes the black cloud of war
and even in our dreams we're so afraid the weight willl offset who we are
all those breaths that you took have now been cancelled in your lungs.
last night my teeth fell out like
ivory typewriter keys
and all the monuments and skyscrapers burned down and filled the sea.
save our ship
the anchor is part of the desk
we can't cut free,
the water is flooding the decks
the memos sent through the currents
computers spark like flares
i can see them.
they don't touch me,
touch me.
please someone,
teach me how to swim.
please, don't let me drown,
please, don't let me drown.

Rookie of the Year - Poison Like Your Own

For a minute there I thought you were worth my time.
Now the introductions over,
There's something on my mind.
And now is the perfect time.
Lights out to sleep you go.
This poison's like your own.

Will you think about the things you did wrong?
And by the way where'd everybody go?
And I sat it up and you sat it down
and now it won't be long.

I'm drowning for your love.
Was this a mistake?
Oh my god was this a mistake?
Would I do it all again?
I'm drowning for your love.

I'm stranded and waiting for your touch.
Would I do it all again?

There's a car, by the bridge where nobody goes.
Keep on laughing with every blow.
Is it wrong to be so evil with so much joy?
Keep on laughing with every blow.
And these screams keep on bringing me out of my sleep.
That's what she said when she hit her final blow.

She lied! She didn't live at all.
A question with no answer and now it is resolved.
Would I do it all again for her dead body?

I'm giving up and going for the obvious one because I got it stuck in my head.

Foo Fighters - Resolve

Something that I felt today, something that I heard
Swingin' from the chandeliers, hanging on your word
I remember watchin' you once upon a time
Dancing from across the room in another life

A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how

Lookin' back to find my way, never seemed so hard
Yesterday's been laid to rest, changing of the guard
I would never change a thing even if I could
All the songs we used to sing, everything was good

A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how

One more year that you're not here
It's gone and passed you by
Happened to you, happened to you
One more tear that you won't hear
That's gone and passed you by
Happened to you, happened to you

A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how

A little bit of resolve
One more year that you're not here
It's gone and passed you by (A little bit of resolve)
A little bit of resolve
One more year that you're not here
It's gone and passed you by (A little bit of resolve)

Brand New - Soco Amaretto Lime

Passed out on the overpass
Sunday best and broken glass
Broken down from the bikes and bars
Suspended like spirits over speeding cars
You and me were kings over the parkway tonight
And tonight will go on forever while we
walk around this town like we own the streets
and stay awake through summer like we own the heat
Singin' "everybody wake up (wake up) it's time to get down"
(everybody, everybody wake up it's time to get down)
And when I pass the bottle back to Pete
on the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh

I'm gunna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party (this offer stands forever)
cause we keep them going constantly
And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
We're the coolest kids and we take what we can get (wait forever)

The hell out of this town
Find some conversation
The low fuel lights been on for days
It doesn't mean anything
I've got another 500 'nother 500 miles
before we shut this engine down,
we shut it down

I'm gunna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party (this offer stands forever)
cause we keep them going constantly
And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
We're the coolest kids and we take what we can get (wait forever)

(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
Eighteen forever
(your stomachs filled up but you're starved for conversation)
So we can stay like this forever
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
And we'll never miss a party
(and your tearin' up your photos 'cause you just wanna forget... it's over)
cause we keep them going constantly
(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
And we'll never have to listen
(your stomachs filled up but you're starved for conversation)
to anyone about anything cause it's all been done
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
and it's all been said
(and your tearin' up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
We're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

You're just jealous 'cause we're young and in love

The Offspring - Kids Aren't Alright

When we were young our future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Now our neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives

Chances Thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams


Jamie had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality

Chances Thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Sticking with a shattered dream theme:

Violent Delight - Shattered

Would you ever care
About what I said
Would it even matter
But then, you think about it again
And it changes in the end

Did you ever hear what I said
Does it even matter
And if we were all the same
Would your dreams be shattered

It seems to me
You're what you see
When you look inside me
All those words
So full of pride
WIll always hit you in the end

If you ever heard
Anything but you
It could all be clear
You'd see the truth
But you always hide
So far away
That in the end
Your lies become your truth

KMFDM - Save Me

If you don't know if you have found what you are looking for
The silver-lining always starts to fade
And what you don't know is that you don't know the truth anymore
Now you try sleeping in the bed you have made

The feeling is gone and the circle is broken
Like water under a burning bridge
A million words but nothing is spoken
A deafening silence replaced by fear

Save me
I can't find my way home
The grace i've fallen from
The only truth i've ever known

So when you tell me what you tell me
I can't take it anymore
The same old story goes around and around
You think that if you speak alittle louder than you did before
The point you make might somehow stick around

If empathy is no more than a token
I cry a river in the pouring rain
The princess still sleeps but she will be woken
Her kiss of love is killing me

Save me
I can't find my way home
The ground i'm walking on
The only friend i've ever known

Mother father
The battle I fight is for no one
No one but myself
Brother sister
The devil inside is my own now
There's no way you could understand
You don't understand

Mother father
The tears that you cry are for no one
No one but yourself
Brother sister
I travel this road on my own now
There's no way you could understand

Ataris (or Don Healey, I guess) - The Boys of Summer

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not at home

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream?
I don't understand what happened to our love
But baby when i get you back
Im gonna show you what Im made of

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today
I saw a BLACK FLAG sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back, You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Nightwish - Wayfarer

I went into the wilderness with Uncle Walt
I discovered the wild
Learning to suck all the experience
Seeing the world through cradle's bars

The wild blessed me with an errant mind
Showing the way for the ultimate lore
I went around the world, beyond the wild
Finding my home from an ocean shore

Wayfarer, heartlander
What if I only had
One more night to live

Home is where the way is
My road goes on forever
One more voyage to go

Wayfarer, heartlander
What if I only had
One more night to live

Dead to the world
Alive for the journey

Wayfarer, heartlander
What if I only had
One more night to one more night to live

Wayfarer, heartlander
What if I only had
One more night to live

Home is where the way is
My road goes on forever
One more voyage to one more voyage one more voyage to go

Come on y'all let's take a ride
don't you say shit just get inside
It's time to take your ass on another kind of trip
coz you can't have the hop if you don't have the hip
grab your gat with the extra clip and,
close your eyes and hit the switch
We're going to a place where everybody kick it
kick it, kick it, yeah... that's the ticket
ain't no bloodin', ain't no cripin'
ain't no punk-ass nigga's set trippin'
everybody's got a stack and it ain't no crack
and it really don't matter if you're white or black, I
wanna take you there like the Staple Singers
put something in the tank and I know that I can bring ya
If you can't take the heat get yo' ass out the kitchen
we're on a mission

Come along and ride on a fantasic voyage
slide slide slippity-slide
with switches on the block in a '65
Come along and ride on a fantasic voyage
slide slide who-ride
ain't no valley low enough for mountain high

I'm tryin' to find a place where I can live my life and
maybe eat some steak with my beans and rice

Fantastic Voyage/Coolio

My Chemical Romance - Drowning Lessons

Without a sound I took her down,
And dressed in red and blue I squeezed
Imaginary wedding gown
That you can't wear in front of me.

A kiss goodbye,
Your twisted shell,
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet.
Lets say goodbye,
The hundreth time,
And then tomorrow we'll do it again.
Tomorrow we'll do it again.

I dragged her down,
I put her out,
And back there I left her where no one could see.
And lifeless cold
Into this well
I stared as this moment was held for me.

A kiss goodbye,
Your twisted shell,
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet.
Lets say goodbye,
The hundreth time
And then tomorrow we'll do it again.

I never thought it'd be this way.
Just me and you we're here alone.
And if you stay,
All I'm asking for is
A thousand bodies piled up.
I never thought would be enough
To show you just what I've been thinking.

And I'll keep on making more,
Just to prove that I adore
Every inch of sanity.
All I'm asking for is...
All I'm asking for is...

These hands stained red
From the times that I've killed you and then
We can wash down this engagement ring
With poison and kerosene.
We'll laugh as we die,
And we'll celebrate the end of things with cheap champagne.

Without...
Without a sound.
Without...
Without a sound,
And I wish you away.
Without a sound,
And I wish you away.
Without a sound, without a sound,
And I wish you away.
Without a sound, without a sound,
And I wish you away.
Without a sound, without a sound,
And I wish you away.

Matchbook Romance - If All Else Fails

A subdued silence undisturbed by the sound of her breath.
So carefully, brush her hair back from her eyes
In steady sequence, one by one.
She slips away.

So close your eyes and sleep to dream.
I'm by your side.
No words to speak.
We'll set our course and make it through.
No matter how far I go my heart remains with you.

And I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
But it's clear to see the purpose of my exsistance Is laying here in front of me.

So close your eyes and sleep to dream.
I'm by your side.
No words to speak.
We'll set our course and make it through.
No matter how far I go

And if all else fails you can look up at the sky
Because it's the same one that shines above you and I.
And if all else fails you can close your eyes
And I'll be right beside you.
I'll be the one by your side.

So close your eyes and sleep to dream.
I'm by your side.
No words to speak.
We'll set our course and make it through.
No matter how far I go
No matter how much this hurts
I wanted you to know,
My heart remains with you

MC Lars - Signing Emo

Once upon a time, in the city of Los Angeles...
"Marty, Marty listen to me.
Bring me something the kids will cry for
Get out there, and get us stoked!"
Meet Marty, major label A&R scout
Forty years old, gut hanging out
Red Ferrari, Marty living in L.A.
Bumps another line to get through the day
Dumped by his girl, he paid for her liposuction
His friends call him "Money," in his introduction
And Marty knows nothing but claims to know it all
Lose the flat screen TV if he drops the ball
You’re as good as your last hit, find the next big thing
If he doesn't bring the bling, his cell phone won't ring
What's the trend, what's new? What's a label scout to do?
Office life, Marty 11:32
The label pres. calls and yells, "Sign more emo!"
How about screamo? "If it sells, sign Nemo,"
"We're down 2%, and BMG knows,
My Daughter likes Dashboard, so get me one of those!"
He checks AP.net, the Scout and more
Yelling band names to his assistant through the door
The kids like this, who cares if it's great?
So he signs a band called Hearts that Hate
"Marty... we've got a hit!"

Cry tonight. My hands around your hands
I won't let you die tonight
Cry tonight. My heart is in your hands
I won't let you...

Hearts that Hate, Marty goes to their show,
Up in the club and here we go
Marty sees a girl in a Simple Plan shirt
With a Senses Fail boy, ha! that’ll never work
He finds his label friends in the corner they huddle
An emo cattle auction, they penetrate the bubble
They talk about Victory and signing TBS
Dissing the same bands they just tried to impress
So the lights go down, the crowd starts to scream
Hearts that Hate have hit the scene
Blake on vocals, and lead guitar
He does a backflip, "Look how different we are!"
They show up at the studio to record it
A TRL, Billboard Modern Rock hit
They auto-tune Blake, but he can't tell
He says, "I've got perfect pitch, damn I sing well"
ProTools, Logic, cut, copy, paste,
Quantized solos and quantized bass
Signed, sealed, delivered and sent,
Across the U.S. and the single went

Cry tonight. My hands around your hands
I won't let you die tonight
Cry tonight. My heart is in your hands
I won't let you...

Momentum builds, but it all caves in
Industrial comes back, the pres. needs a NIN
Marty finds a new band called "Fetal Coil"
And Hearts that Hate try to keep their fans loyal
They re-work their sound for album number two
As "Machines of Hate” but their career is through
They break up and work pushing mops and brooms
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room
"Can you teach me track five Mr. Blake?"
"Hey, I wrote that song and it goes like this!"

Cry tonight. My hands around your hands
I won't let you die tonight
Cry tonight. My heart is in your hands
I won't let you...

Stone Sour - Idle Hands

Stuck to the dog, pissin’ out both ends
I got a hundred lethal weapons that I call my friends
Ain’t a person on earth who could take my life
I wish they would so a man could get some sleep at night
But my design is a mixture of descent and decay
I see a monster in the mirror ----ing everyday
Can a man ever wash his hands of blood?
Perpetual deja vu, isn’t that enough?

Peel back the layers and see what I’ve become
Satisfied? now I feel nothing
Stay away - I swear it wasn’t me!

See if you can relish if you close both eyes
Every time I make an issue of it, someone dies
Carried out like a hit man, set in stone
Don’t know why I even bother to be left alone
In my opinion, it’s a self-serving fucked-up phase
Got a picture in my wallet that I keep, in case i
Gotta go, gotta split, gotta make it to a higher level than this
But I could be wrong, what I say is wrong, what I really want to say is

Peel back the layers and see what I’ve become
Satisfied? now I feel nothing
Stay away - I swear it wasn’t me!

Run------ it doesn’t matter,
I need all the miracles that I can gather
Run------ I can’t pretend
I put myself in idle hands again

Here’s how it ends, just a bit too soon
River deep in all the shit I let myself get into
Doesn’t anybody like it here?
Blank looks, television drama and no fear
Let another person fuck with your mind
I bet you become the person who will fuck in time
Man I just stopped caring, the music is blaring
I feel you glaring, why won’t you stop staring?

Peel back the layers and see what I’ve become
Satisfied? now I feel nothing
Stay away - I swear it wasn’t me!

Run------ it doesn’t matter
I need all the miracles that I can gather
Run------ I can’t pretend
I put myself in idle hands again

Get the ---- off of me!!

Technically the last proper word is ----...but hey, that would be easy and probably break the forum rules.

Now I will tell you what I've done for you
50 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming Deceiving and Bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
(I’m going under)
Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I'm dying again

I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under

Blurring and Stirring the truth and the lies
So I don't know what's real and what's not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
I'm dying again

I'm going under
Drowing in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through

So go on and scream
Scream at me I'm so far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breathe I can't keep going under

Going Under/Evanescence

Wombles Theme Tune

Underground, Overground, Wombling Free, the Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we.
Making good use of the things that we find, things that the everyday folks leave behind.

Uncle Bulgaria, he can remember the days when he wasn't behind The Times,
With his map of the World. Pick up the papers and take them to Tobermory!

Wombles are organized, work as a team. Wombles are tidy and Wombles are clean.
Underground, Overground, wombling free, the Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we!

People don't notice us, they never see, under their noses a Womble may be.
We womble by night and we womble by day, looking for litter to trundle away.

We're so incredibly, utterly devious making the most of everything.
Even bottles and tins. Pick up the pieces and make them into something new, is what we do!

10 Green Bottles, sitting on a wall

Certain Shade Of Green- Incubus
A certain shade of green, tell me, is that what you need?
All signs around say move ahead Could someone
please explain to me your ever present lack of speed?
Are your muscles bound by ropes? Or do crutches
cloud your day?
My sources say the road is clear, and street signs guide my way
Are you gonna stand
around till 2012 A.D.?
What are you waiting for,
A certain shade of green?

I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate
What are yoou waiting for, A certian shade of green?
Would a written invitation signed,
"Choose now or lose it all,"
sedate your hesitation?
Or inflame and make tou stall?
You've been raised in limitaion,
but that glove never fit quite right
The time has come for hand-me-downs, choose anew, please evolve, take flight
What are you waiting for? A written invitation? A public declaration? A private
consolation?

Fightstar - Lost Like Tears In The Rain

I'm not from around here
I'll hold on for you but

I can't hold on to this day It's all gone
(Waiting always untouched open)
It came to to save us and ended all
'Cause I'm under the outside
And over all

'Cause I'm a thousand miles away
And I'm out of oxygen
And now I'm falling faster than I'd like to be
And I'm closer to the skies
Than I'll ever to be to you again
Find the exit signs and disappear

We were hated, It seems we were all wrong
(Find me bleeding peacefulness)
We looked up, to lose our way again

'Cause I'm under the outside
And over all

And I'm a thousand miles away
and I'm out of oxygen
And now I'm falling faster than I'd like to be
And I'm closer to the skies
Than I'll ever to be to you again
Find the exit signs and disappear

Some things don't, some things don't
Some things don't, some things don't
Change

Fall

(Born from angels)
Lets start this all over again, With the same generation.
(Born from angels)
Lets start this all over again, With the same declaration.
(Born from angels)
Lets start this all over again, With this new generation.

It's neon genesis

Neon golden like all the lights.
Neon golden don't leave me here for I glow.
Neon golden

-The Notwist, Neon Golden (extremely short lyrics)

Brand New - Mixtape

I got a twenty dollar bill
that says no one's ever seen you without makeup,
you're always made up
And I'm sick of your tattoos
and the way you always criticize the Smiths...
and Morrissey

And I know that you're a sucker for anything acoustic
But when I say "let's keep in touch"
I really mean I wish that you'd grow up
This is the first song for your mix tape
and it's short just like your temper
Somewhat golden like the afternoons
we used to spend before you got too cool

I got a twenty dollar bill
that says no one's ever seen you without makeup,
you're always made up
And I'm sick of your tattoos
and the way you don’t appreciate Brand New...
or me

And I know that you're a sucker for anything acoustic
But when I say "let's keep in touch"
I hope you know I mean I wish that you'd grow up
This is the first song for your mix tape
and it’s short just like your temper
Somewhat golden like the afternoons
we used to spend before you got too cool

Yeah, but I wish you were my shadow

---

Have I used this one before?

Bah, snoo already used Nine Inch Nails - Wish so...

Stone Sour - Bother

Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason;
my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten
with its memories
Diaries left
with cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on:
I'll never live down my deceit

CKY - Deceit Is Striking Gold

Speaking gibberish the shrieking drivel almost making sense
Let down your guard and sign the donor card
My hand denied one to many times
Hear what you’re told the truth is getting old

A simple victim
Just can’t defeat them
So late to unlock this with empty pockets

To be detained
And finding pleasure in the fact
Sad soul on loan but never on your own
You’ve made mistakes, many repetitiously
As the truth unfolds, deceit is striking gold

A victim
He didn’t defeat them
He's obligated, and terminated

Calling this a day at twenty-two
Quit existence at the proper cue
The heartless wish that there were more like you
Better forfeit all your goals, you’re through…

I can’t bare the shame
Or the error of your choice
Infliction spree has seen the last of me
Who makes your moves if you eat out of their hand
Do what you’re told
Deceit is striking gold

A victim
He didn’t defeat them
He's obligated, and terminated

Calling this a day at twenty-two
Quit existence at the proper cue
The heartless wish that there were more like you
Better forfeit all your goals, you’re through…

Calling this a day at twenty-two
Quit existence at the proper cue
The heartless wish that there were like you
Better forfeit all your goals, you’re through…

Children of Bodom - Needled Twenty-Four/Seven

Since day one I've been crass and far beyond
I couldn't laugh, I couldn't cry. Before you judge me
Take a look at yourself. Condescendin', outlivin' in a lie

Despite all the pain in my heart grinding through
It ain't due that you hate what I hate what you do

Despite all the piety you've been consuming thus far
A backstabbing motherfucker to the bone is what you are!

And everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge 'n' turn
My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn
A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven
Then again it's like being needled twenty-four/seven

You look down to me to see the scum of the earth to be. F**k yeah
That's me, vile and obscene.I ain't happy about it but at least
I don't judge and decree, to be better than another human being

And everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge 'n' turn
My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn
A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven
Then again it's like being needled twenty-four/seven

Despite all the piety you've been consuming thus far,
Hey, would somebody tell me WHAT THE F**K IS GOING ON???

And everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge 'n' turn
My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn
A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven
Then again it's like being needled twenty-four/seven

JAU JAU JAU!!

(Death, what you all know about death)

Belle & Sebastian - I'm Waking Up To Us


need someone to take some joy in something i do
you need a man who's either rich or losing a screw
you know i love you here's the irony
you're going to walk away intact
i think you never liked me anyway
you like yourself and you like
men to kiss your arse
expensive clothes
please stop me there
i think i'm waking up to us
we're a disaster
you don't want to know me
'cause you move in circles of the brave
where art defines their lives

she was the one love of my life, and i let her go
and if i look like death today,
then please let her know
i never wanted to do harm to her
i only wanted her to see
the beauty of the world surrounding her
but when she opened up her eyes
it's much too late
our chance has gone
she's with a guy
who takes the price for everything i ever showed her
digging all the fun
because she's older
i fed her with a spoon
i made her mother smile
i helped the kid survive

she was the one love of my life,
she showed me the road
i loved her dog, her steady gaze, the chapter is closed
i always wanted all the best for her
the best thing was to stay away
she grew up and she left the rest of us
and now the understanding's gone
i haven't changed, how could i?
i'm pretty much the same person
i cannot keep the anger hidden anymore
but lucky for you, you are not around
my anger turns to pity and to love
the season has arrived

The Stiletto Formal - Hills Like White Elephants

Tonight our words are forming boundaries, coercing us into this silhouette of blatant fiction. It wavers. Oh, just then you threw your arms around me effectively inducing Looking Glass derived refractions.

So don't wait for us. The season's perfect. Hold on, be still. The shadow's coming. And we'll sing, we'll sing like murderers in choirs. When we shelter these infractions I'm in love. The curvature of prose completes us. There's no substance in our lungs.

But now this condescending grandeur will seize our rhetorical cries. I'm here my sweet Madeline. And write me off like I'm a child I've used up my newness in stride. I'm here my sweet Madeline.

Because the infraction in decency accents your perception of what we imply, you fabricate your affections tonight. And your makeshift compassion's affectively placed when it suits you and their compliments seem to run dry. I'll be your default tonight. So take my kindness as a weakness; I am benign. But still I'll hold on. I'll hold on!

You are the consummate motion of dilated inhibitions. Improve your net worth by negating your constraints. You're the malevolent rupture in collective progression. I am your sense of achievement. I'm a fallback, I'm your failures, but you are the one I would die for.

I like songs with long words in their lyrics. It makes me feel clever.

Laibach - Perspectives

Spoken:
Laibach takes over an organisational system of work, after the model of
industrial production and totalitarism, collective spirit, identification
with ideology, which means: not the individual, but the organisation
speaks. Our work is industrial, our language political. Laibach is a
recognition of time universality. Its organisational activity is an
intense agitation and a constant systematic propagating, ideological
offensive. Any social activity affects the mass. Laibach functions as a
creative allusion of strict institutionality, identification with
institution, as stock theatre, or popular culture with a centralized
programme. One transmitter and a multitude of receivers, and with a
communication through uncommunication. Laibach's musical approach is a
move to the area of pure politization of sounds as a means of manipulating
the masses. When, in politically and economically complicated situations,
the antagonism in society is becoming strained, only force remains as the
ultima ratio of social integration. The force must adopt the form of
systematic, physical and psychic terror, organized in accordance with
social relations. Terror is obtaining a function of productional power,
which extorts discipline and an adaptation of the mass, to the existing
productional relations, and the existing productional apparatus. For the
totalitarian form of government, the systematic terror becomes a
constitutional instrument of authority. Through the mystic,
erotic-mythological sound, constitution of an ambivalence between fear and
fascination, which rudimentarily affects the consciousness of people,
through stage performances of ritualized demonstration of political power,
and through other manipulative means of an individual, Laibach practises a
sound force, in a form of systematic, psycho-physical terror as social
organisational principle, in order to effectively discipline and raise a
feeling of total adherence bond of a certain, revolted and alienated
audience, which results in a state of collective anasthesia, which is the
principle of social organisation. In this sense, the function of Laibach,
sound constructions, and of rock concerts is to challenge collective
emotions and automatic associations, and as such it serves as the means of
working stimulation. By darkening the consumer's mind, it drives him into
a state of humble contrition and total obedience, self-sacrifice, by
destroying every trait of individuality, it melts the individuals into a
mass, and mass into a humble, collective body. The dualism of Laibach's
message, perception and receiver's structure uncovers the social neurosis.
Laibach unites the biters and antagonistics into an expression of static,
totalitarism cry. Our basic inspiration, ideals which are not ideals to
their form, but the material of Laibach, manipulation of self, remains an
industrial production: art of the Third Reich, totalitarism, taylorism,
bruitism, disco. Disco rhythm, as a regular repetition, is the purest, the
most radical form of the militantly organised rhythmicity of technicist
production, and as such the most appropriate means of media manipulation.
As an archetypal structural basis of the collective unconscious in a
worker mass, it stimulates automatic mechanism, and shapes
industrialisation of consciousness, which is necessary in the logic of
massive, totalitarian, industrial production.

Three important rules for breaking up
Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly
Don't make a big production
Don't make up an elaborate story
This will help you avoid a big tearjerking scene
If you wanna date other people say so
Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
Even if you've gone together for only a short time,
And haven't been too serious,
There's still a feeling of rejection
When someone says she prefers the company of others
To your exclusive company,
But if you're honest, and direct,
And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you break the news,
The boy will respect you for your frankness,
And honestly he'll apeciate the kind of straightfoward manner
In which you told him your decision
Unless he's a real jerk or a crybaby you will remain friends
-Nada Surf, "Popular"

I am so desperate right now...

The Beatles - Cry Baby Cry

Cry baby cry
make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better

The King of Marigold was in the kitchen
cooking breakfast for the queen
The queen was in the parlor playing piano
for the children of the king

Cry baby cry
make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

The King was in the garden picking flowers
for a friend who came to play
The queen was in the playroom painting pictures
for the children's holiday

Cry baby cry
make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

The Duchess of Kircaldy always smiling
and arriving late for tea
The duke was having problems with a message
at the local Bird and Bee

Cry baby cry
make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

At twelve o'clock a meeting 'round the table
for a seance in the dark
With voices out of nowhere put on specially
by the children for a lark

Cry baby cry
make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
Cry, cry, cry baby
make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
Cry baby cry
cry, cry, cry
make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

Nine Inch Nails - March of the Pigs

Step right up march push
Crawl right up on your knees
Please greed feed (no time to hesitate)
I want a little bit I want a piece of it I think hes losing it
I want to watch it come down
Dont like the look of it dont like the taste of it dont like the smell of it
I want to watch it come down
All the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
Take the skin and peel it back
Now doesnt that make you feel better?
Shove it up inside surprise! lies
Stains like the blood on your teeth
Bite chew suck away the tender parts
I want to break it up I want to smash it up I want to f**k it up
I want to watch it come down
Maybe afraid of it lets discredit it lets pick away at it
I want to watch it come down
Now doesnt that make you feel better?
The pigs have won tonight
Now they can all sleep soundly
And everything is all right

Alkaline Trio - Private Eye

I dragged this lake looking for corpses
Dusted for prints, pried up the floorboards
Pieces of planes and black box recorders
Don't lie
And I've been preoccupied with these sick, sick senses
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences
Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
That has no alibi
New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven
I watched flies **** on channel 11
There was no one to kiss, there was nothing to drink
Except some old rotten milk someone left in the sink
And there's no ring on the phone anymore
There's no reason to call I passed out on the floor
Smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin dry
But at the right place at the right time
I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine
And I won't have to quit doing ****ed up ****
For anyone but me
And at the right place at the right time
It will have been worth it to stand in line
And you won't have to stop
Saying "I love cops" for anyone but me
Your private eye

Dashboard Confessional - Screaming Infidelities


I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast
Is taking me home

I'm cuddling close
To blankets and sheets
But you're not alone, and you're not discreet
Make sure I know who's taking you home.

I'm reading your note over again
And there's not a word that I comprehend,
Except when you signed it
I will love you always and forever

Well as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out
But as for me, I wish that I was anywhere, with anyone
Making out.

I'm missing your laugh
How did it break?
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as you're pretending.

I'm cuddling close
To blankets and sheets
and I am alone
In my defeat I wish I knew you were safely at home

I'm missing your bed
I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast is taking me home.

Well as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs
And sit alone and wonder
How you're making out
but as for me, I wish that I was anywhere, with anyone
Making out.

Your hair, it's everywhere.
Screaming infidelities
And taking its wear.

Everyone looks ugly on a hardwood floor
after nights of sleeping without lighting.
Every woman’s hair gets messed and tossed
when they walk in the rain without a hijab.

And that’s why the Muslims fight wars
for their girls.
And that’s why I opened up my mouth
full of sores,
and I begged for release from their jail
on the beach,

and I begged not to be their only
Western servant on a hardwood floor,
scraping up splinters tacked to the door.
But I am, I am, I am
a Westerner.

-Emperor X, "Hardwood Floor Servant"

Leaving Rouge - Rooms


if these ceilings could speak we'd never need a tv.
so much life having gone on beneath.
some old brown eyes that once stared above.
whispering thoughts about getting on.
and traveling places we'll never know.
inside we're doing it all again.
we're fucked up like we've always been.
we're lucky we stand but it's alright.
we do it all the time and we're getting by fine.
the faces framed on your wall.
laugh at you from their view.
as you talk yourself into corners.
of places you once knew.
and i learned about you by going through your things.
when your back was turned and my eyes wandering.
pitctures tacked on a wall from five years ago.
when there was less of you to know.
when it was hard and long to think.
these are the mirrors where we speak of our lives in the morning.
with whatever light comes through.
the bathroom window in white shapes that have.
nothing to do with me or you.
and who will see you off to work.
walking snowed sidewalks and disbelieving in the telephone poles.
cause you hear the word heart too much.
muttered on the radio by some fuck.
as you close your eyes and count your knives.
and try to make it all all right.
and it's been hard and long to think.
these are the rooms where we push off our days in the evening.
with whatever light comes through.
the bedroom windows in white shapes that have.
nothing to do with me or you.
what could have been don't ever tell.
you don't know now and you never will

Beastie Boys- Root Down

I kick it root down
I put my root down


It's not a put down
I put my foot down
And then I make some love, I put my root down
Like sweetie pie by the stone alliance
Everbody knows I'm known for dropping science
I'm electric like dick hyman
I guess you'd expect to catch the crew rhymin'
Never let you down with the stereo sound
So mike, get on the mic and turn it out
We're talking root down, I put my boot down
And if you want to battle me, you're putting loot down
I said root down, it's time to scoot down
I'm a step up to the mic in my goose down
Come up representing from the upper west
Money makin' putting me to the test
Sometimes I feel as though I've been blessed
Because I'm doing what I want so I never rest
Well, I'm not coming out goofy like the fruit of the loom guys
Just strutting like the meters with the look-ka py py
'cause downtown brooklyn is where I was born
But when the snow is falling, then I'm gone
You might think that I'm a fanatic
A phone call from utah and I'm throwing a panic
But we break it from the root when we kick it on down
Jimmy smith is my man, I want to give him a pound

(chorus)

Ad rock don't stop, just get on the mic with the tic and the toc

I'll fill you with the f****n' rim like brim
I'm walking down your block and you say that's him
There goes the guy with the funky sound
The beastie boys you know we come to get down
Because I've got the flow where I grab my d***
And say oh my god, that's the funky s***
So I'm going to pass the mic and cause a panic
The original nasal kid is doing damage
Every morning I took the train to high street station
Doing homework on the train, what a f****d up situation
On the way back up hearing battle tapes
Through the underground, underneath the sky scrapes
Like harlem world battles on the zulu beat show
It's kool moe d vs. busy bee there's one you should know
Enough of that, I just want to give some respect due
M.c.a. grab the mic and the ma bell will connect you
Bob marley was a prophet for the freedom fight
"if dancin' prays to the lord then i shall feel alright"
I'm feeling good to play a little music
Tears running down my face 'cause i love to do it
And no one can stop this flow from flowing on
A flow master in disaster with a sound that's gone
I'll give a little shout out to my dad and mom
For bringing me into this world and so on

(chorus)

Ben Kweller - Commerce, TX

Alexisonfire - No Transitory

I'm in a constant state of getting cut
So why don't I feel anything?

This is a violation

Maybe I forgot what it was like
Before it entered me

So this is what they call
Another endless night
So tired of believing
If this is wrong or right
I think this cause is lost
I wish that I could sleep
I feel like some kind of shadow
Another slave to the week
Imagine if we lived
Under the weather
We would never be found
Never discovered
If everything goes wrong
If it's one more endless night
You know there always tomorrow
And tomorrow... [X8]
They'll know there's always tomorrow

And this knife, this knife
It is my most important appendage

Tomorrow [X3]

So now that your whole world
Has gone up into flames
This night is still never ending
Do you think you're still safe?
Seems everything went wrong
We were discovered
But this time there's no tomorrow
And tomorrow...[X3]

And this knife, this knife

Story of the Year - Swallow the Knife

So our open wounds will bleed
Until our veins run dry
Now we have to take this thorn
And tear it from our side
Agitated at the fault line
Still agreed to disagree
You're connected to the heart
But tonight we'll set you free

So swallow the knife
Carve the way for your pride
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for the night
To start over again

Even now as I write this down
All pretentions disappear
Now our impulses will bite
At the ankles of our fear

So swallow the knife
Carve the way for your pride
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for the night
To start over again

Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for the night
To start over again

Words are spoken
Words are broken down

So let's make this night be our best mistake
So let's take the time to wipe the blood away

Now our hands are tied
And our world is caving in
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for the night
To start over again

Now our hands are tied
And the problems lie within
Words are spoken
Words are broken down
Broken down
Broken down

Nine Inch Nails - Happiness in Slavery

slave screams he thinks he knows what he wants
slave screams thinks he has something to say
slave screams he hears but doesn't want to listen
slave screams he's being beat into submission
don't open your eyes you won't like what you see
the devils of truth steal the souls of the free
don't open your eyes take it from me
i have found
you can find
happiness in slavery
slave screams he spends his life learning conformity
slave screams he claims he has his own identity
slave screams he's going to cause the system to fall
slave screams but he's glad to be chained to that wall
don't open your eyes you won't like what you see
the blind have been blessed with security
don't open your eyes take it from me
i have found
you can find
happiness in slavery
i don't know what i am i don't know where i've been
human junk just words and so much skin
stick my hands thru the cage of this endless routine
just some flesh caught in this big broken machine

Welcome To The Machine- Pink Floyd

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time, provided with toys and
'Scouting for Boys'.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool,

So welcome to the machine.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar,
He always ate in the Steak Bar. He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
So welcome to the machine.

He's got a brand new car
Looks like a Jaguar
It's got leather seats
It's got a CD player

But I don't want to talk about it anymore
I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yet
So don't you try and fake it anymore
"Buck Rogers"- "Buck Rogers"

We'll start over again
Grow ourselves new skin
Get a house in Devon
Drink cider from a lemon

But I don't want to talk about it anymore.

I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yet
So don't you try and fake it anymore?
I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yet
So don't you try and fake it anymore?

He's got a brand new car
He's got a brand new car
A brand new car, a brand new car, a brand new car
"Buck Rogers"

I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yet
So don't you try and fake it anymore?
I think we're gonna make it
I think we're gonna save it yet
So don't you try and fake it anymore, anymore ?..

Dashboard Confessional - The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most

Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself
And covered with a perfect shell
Such a charming beautiful exterior.
Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes, perfect posture
But you're barely scraping by, but you're barely scraping by.

Well this is one time, this is one time
That you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone
Or anyone at all, or anyone at all.
And the grave that you refuse to leave
The refuge that you've built to flee
The places that you've come to fear the most
Is the place that you have come to fear the most.

Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself
And hidden in the public eye
Such a stellar monument to loneliness.
Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes, perfect makeup
But you're barely scraping by, but you're barely scraping by.

Well this is one time, this is one time
That you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone
Or anyone at all, or anyone at all.
And the grave that you refuse to leave
The refuge that you've built to flee
The places that you've come to fear the most
Is the place that you have come to fear the most.

That you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone
Or anyone at all, or anyone at all.
And the grave that you refuse to leave
The refuge that you've built to flee
The places that you've come to fear the most
Is the place that you have come to fear the most.
Is the place that you have come to fear the most.

Complete and utter spam- Nov, I KNEW that would be the next song.

Morning smiles
Like the face of a newborn child
Innocent unknowing
Winter’s end
Promises of a long lost friend
Speaks to me of comfort

But I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
Here in this lonely place
Tangled up in our embrace
There’s nothing I’d like
Better than to fall
But I fear I have nothing to give

Wind in time

John Cale- Dying On The Vine

I've been chasing ghosts and I don't like it
I wish someone would show me where to draw the line
I'd lay down my sword if you would take it
And tell everyone back home I'm doing fine

I was with you down in acapulco
Trading clothing for some wine
Smelling like an old adobe woman
Or a william burroughs playing for lost time

I was thinking about my mother
I was thinking about what's mine
I was living my life like a hollywood
But I was dying on the vine
Who could sleep through all that noisy chatter

The troops, the celebrations in the sun
The authorities say my papers are all in order
And if i wasn't such a coward I would run


I'll see you me when all the shooting's over
Meet me on the other side of town
Yes, you can bring all your friends along for protection
It's always nice to have them hanging around

I was thinking about my mother
I was thinking about what's mine
I was living my life like a hollywood
But I was dying, dying on the vine

Ain't just your kiss, K I S S that I miss
Ain't just the way that you squeeze me tight
If there's a wish at the top of my list
Uh, is that you be there every day and every night

I found a new four letter word
The sweetest sound that I ever heard
I found a new four letter word
Lust can kinda be nice
But it ain't L O V E, indeedy
All right

Oh when the rush that I'm dreamin' of's not enough
You touch and I can't control myself
You put the glide back into my stride
Oh yeah, you move me like-a nobody else

I found a new four letter word
The sweetest sound that I ever heard
I found a new four letter word
Lust can kinda be nice
But it ain't L O V E, oh yeah
Let me spell it out, c'mon

You're all I'm looking for
You ain't the girl next door

Def Leppard/Four letter word

Something Corporate - Globes and Maps


Light breaks underneath
A heavy door
And I try to keep myself awake
Fall all around us on a hotel floor
And you think that you've made a mistake
And theres a pain in my stomach
From another sleepless binge
And I struggle to get myself up again
I want to hang onto something
That wont break away or fall apart
Like the pieces of my heart

And globes and maps are all around me now
I want to feel you breathe me
Globes and maps I see surround you here
Why wont you believe me?
Globes and maps they chartered your way back home
Do you want to leave or something?

Dreams came around you
In a hazy rain
You open your mouth wide to feel them fall
And I write a letter from a one-way train
But I dont think you'll read it at all

And globes and maps are all around me now
I want to feel you breathe me
And globes and maps I see surround you here
Why won't you believe me?
Globes and maps they charter your way back home
Do you want to leave or something?

I can't take this anymore
I know that I can't take this anymore
I can't take this anymore
Cause I know someday I'll see you walk out that door

Globes and Maps are all around me now
I want to feel you breathe me
Globes and maps I see surround you here
Why won't you believe me?
Globes and maps they charter your way back home
So do you want to leave? Do you want to leave?
Globes and maps they charter your way back home
Do you want to leave or something?
