Song: Sweet Sacrifice
Artist: Evanescence
Album: The Open Door

Lyrics:

It's true, we're all a little insane.
But it's so clear,
Now that I'm unchained.

Fear is only in our minds,
Taking over all the time.
Fear is only in our minds but it's taking over all the time.

You poor sweet innocent thing.
Dry your eyes and testify.
You know you live to break me. Don't deny.
Sweet sacrifice.

One day I'm gonna forget your name,
And one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain.

Fear is only in our minds,
Taking over all the time.
Fear is only in our minds but it's taking over all the time.

You poor sweet innocent thing.
Dry your eyes and testify.
And oh you love to hate me don't you, honey?
I'm your sacrifice.

I dream in darkness
I sleep to die,
Erase the silence,
Erase my life,
Our burning ashes
Blacken the day,
A world of nothingness,
Blow me away.

Do you wonder why you hate?
Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?

You poor sweet innocent thing.
Dry your eyes and testify.
You know you live to break me.
Don't deny.
Sweet sacrifice.

[Clint]

Savatage- Believe

So after all those one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand
A child alone... On your own... Retreating
Regretful for the things you're not
And all the dreams you haven't got
Without a home... A heart of stone... Lies bleeding
And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the thinks you had to leave behind

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is... Believe

Your childhood eyes were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string... The grown-up wings... You needed
But when you had to add them up
You found that they were not enough
To get you in... Pay for sins... Repeated
And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the tears you cryed
And for all the fears you had to keep inside

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
All I ask of you is... Believe!, yeah

I never wanted to know, never wanted to see
I wasted my time till time wasted me
Never wanted to go, always wanted to stay
'Cause the person I am, are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan, hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight to a world gone astray
As they charge me for years... I can't pay!, yeah

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is... Believe
...Believe...

Title: November Rain
Artist: Guns N Roses

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

oh yea

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain

Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

[Lazarus]

Song: Left outside alone
Album: Anastacia
Artist: Anastacia

Lyrics:

All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay, I don't feel safe
I don't feel safe...

Left broken empty in despair
Want to breathe, can't find air
Thought you were sent from up above
But you and me never had love
So much more I have to say
Help me find a way

And I wonder if you know
How it really feels
To be left outside alone
When it's cold out here
Well maybe you should know
Just how it feels
To be left outside alone
To be left outside alone...

I tell ya..
All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay, I don't feel safe
I need to... pray

Why do you play me like a game?
Always someone else to blame
Careless, helpless little man
Someday you might understand
There's not much more to say
But I hope you find a way

Still I wonder if you know
How it really feels
To be left outside alone
When it's cold out here
Well maybe you should know
Just how it feels
To be left outside alone
To be left outside alone

I tell ya...
All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay, I don't feel safe
I need to pray

Oh pray
(Heavenly father)
Ohh heavenly father
(Please, save me)
Oh save me

And I wonder if you know
How it really feels
To be left outside alone
When it's cold out here
Well maybe you should know
Just how it feels
To be left outside alone
To be left outside alone

All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay, I don't feel safe
I need to.. pray

Song: Still Alive
Album: Still Alive (The Remixes)
Artist: Lisa Miskovsky

Lyrics
You have changed
I have changed
Just like you
Just like you

For how long
For how long
Must I wait
I know there's something wrong

Your concrete heart isn't beating
And you tried to
Make it come alive

No shadows
Just red lights
Now I'm here to rescue you

Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive
I can't apologise no

Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive
I can't apologise no

So silent
No violence
But inside my head
So loud and clear

You're screaming
You're screaming
Cover up with a smile I've learned to fear

Just sunshine
And blue sky
That's just how it goes
For living here

Come fire
Come fire
Let it burn and love come racing through

Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive
I can't apologise no

Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive
I can't apologise no

Learn to lose
Learn to win
Turn my face against the wind

I will move fast
I will move slow
Take me where I have to go

Oh I'm still alive
I'm still alive
I can't apologise no

Song: Don't Stop At The Top
Album: Follow the Reaper
Artist: Children of Bodom

You never take the easier way,
while the is blowing straight into your face.
You never make a compromise,
for any trouble that may cross your way.
There's no risk that you're not takin',
not a mountain that's too high,
spread your wings you gonna make it,
to the best time of your life.

[chorus]
Don't stop at the top, (don't stop at the top)
touch the sky before you drop. (the sky)
Don't stop at the top, (don't stop at the top)
touch the sky before you drop. (the sky)

You never make a compromise
Your will has got the power that won't break
You never say never to a challenge
That will come along the way
There's no risk that you're not taking
Not a mountain that's too high
Spread your wings, you're gonna make it
To the best time of your life

[chorus]

Never stop, don't stop at the top!

Title: Bananas
Artist: That 1 Guy
Album: The Moon is Disgusting

Shake 'em from the tree
stick 'em in your ear
make them think you care
because you
fake another tear

Don't know what to take
fishing in the dark
itching for a bite
and then you
catch another shark

Ringing all around
very hard to tell
break another sound
and we can
crack another bell

Matching all the cloths
itching in the legs
scratch 'em with your toes
and hatching
all the spider eggs

Happy howl and waggle
ugly gawk and gaggle
somewhere lost
from a to z

Angry are the funny
lava's hot and runny
backwards laughing at the sea

'Cause bananas
are too big to see
once my brother
threw a banana at me
we found it on the ground
'cause it fell from the tree
I ate it off the wall
it was all meant to be
poking all around
but you just don't know
demanding new bananas
that just won't grow
hit them with a sack of oats
that we just won't sow
bananas in our hands
and we won't let go

Turn it up to ten
take it as a sign
I'll probably muck it up
but let me try it
one more time

Didn't see a thing
feeling in the dark
fell in love
with that 1 tree
and rubbing
up against the bark

Tell me that I'm meek
floating out to sea
gawking at the geek
and then I find
the geek is me

Teeter on the brink
wish it all away
don't know
what to think
because they
ain't got much to say

Laughing while your yelling
smiling while your smelling
sappy underneath the ree

Clouded was the sound
crowded all around
saving face
but scraping knee

Slipping on the peels
that they thrown on the floor
I hung around so long
my bananas got sore
Clapping with my hands
made 'em mad slam the door
banana in the hat
must have been there before
shaking at the trees
hope bananas fall
shaky in the knees
'cause the trunk's too tall
flakey referee
don't agree
with the call
middle of the game
run away
take the ball

Now they're throwing bananas
bananas a lot
you know that these are
all the bananas we got
gonna rain gonna rot
keep them to yourself
once again thanks a lot

I ran with the banana
I thought was mine
yellow is the reason
we run this time
the little bit of green
that we took as a sign
the closest thing to good
that we thought we could find

With 20/20 eyes
but they still can't see
yet I could feel it burn
when they look at me
beat around the bush
it's the best way to beat
and once again
they're throwing bananas
they're throwing bananas...

Song: J'en Ai Marre!

J'ai la peau douce
Dans mon bain de mousse
Je m'éclabousse
J'en ris!
Mon poisson rouge
Dans mon bain de mousse
Je l'emmitouffle
Je lui dis:

J'ai pas de problème
Je fais néant
Pas de malaise
Je fais néant
Dans l'eau je baigne
C'est l'importante
Bien à mon aise dans l'air du temps

J'ai la peau douce
Dans mon bain de mousse
Je brule à l'ombre
Des bombes
Tout est délice
Des lits des cibles
Je fais la liste des choses
Qui m'indisposent

J'en ai marre de ceux qui pleurent
Qui ne roule qu'à 2 à l'heure
Qui se lamentent et qui s'fixent
Sur l'idée d'une idée fixe
J'en ai marre de ceux qui râlent
Des extrêmistes à 2 balles
Qui voient la vie tout en noire
Qui m'expedient dans l'cafard
J'en ai marre de la grande soeur
Qui gémit tout et qui pleure
Marre de la pluie, des courgettes
Qui m'font vomir sous la couette
J'en ai marre de ces cyniques
Et dans les prés les colchiques
J'en ai marre d'en avoir marre
Aussi...

J'ai la peau douce
Dans mon bain de mousse
Pas de secousses sismiques
Je me prelasse
Et me délasse
C'est mon état aquatique
Y'a comme un hic!

J'en ai marre de ceux qui pleurent
Qui ne roule qu'à 2 à l'heure
Qui se lamentent et qui s'fixent
Sur l'idée d'une idée fixe
J'en ai marre de ceux qui râlent
Des extrêmistes à 2 balles
Qui voient la vie tout en noire
Qui m'expedient dans l'cafard
J'en ai marre de la grande soeur
Qui gémit tout et qui pleure
Marre de la pluie, des courgettes
Qui m'font vomir sous la couette
J'en ai marre de ces cyniques
Et dans les prés les colchiques
J'en ai marre d'en avoir marre
Aussi...

Title: Wish You Were Here
Artist: Pink Floyd

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
a walk on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish,
how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found?
The same old fears.
Wïsh you were here.

[sonicisrad]

Breaking Benjamin - "Had Enough"

Milk it for all it's worth, make sure you get there first
The apple of your eye, the rotten core inside
We are all prisoners, things couldn't get much worse
I've had it up to here, you know your end is near

You had to have it all, well have you had enough ?
You greedy little bastard, you will get what you deserve
When all is said and done, I will be the one
To leave you in your misery and hate what you've become

Intoxicated eyes, no longer live that life
You should have learned by now, I'll burn this whole world down
I need some peace of mind, no fear of what's behind
You think you've won this fight, you've only lost your mind

You had to have it all, well have you had enough ?
You greedy little bastard, you will get what you deserve
When all is said and done, I will be the one
To leave you in your misery and hate what you've become

Oooh...

Hold me down (I will live again)
Pull me up (I will break you)
Hold me down (better in the end)
Hold me down

You had to have it all, well have you had enough ?
You greedy little bastard, you will get what you deserve
When all is said and done, I will be the one
To leave you in your misery and hate what you've become

Heaven help you
Heaven help you

Song: Tears In Heaven
Artist: Eric Clapton

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
'Cause I know, I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
'Cause I know, I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

Beyond the door
There's peace, I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

I've definitely been in a Pink floyd mood lately, but they ARE one of the greatest bands ever.
Title: Comfortably Numb
Artist: Pink Floyd

Hello
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?

Come on, now
I hear you're feeling down
I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.

Relax
I need some information first
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am

I have become comfortably numb.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe its working good
That'll keep you going for the show
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown, the dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb.

Artist: Porcupine Tree
Album: Dead Wing
Song: Open Car

Lyrics
Nothing like this
Felt in her kiss
Cannot resist her
Fell for her charm
Lost in her arms
I keep a photograph
Give me a glimpse
Let me come in
Be there inside her
Here it begins
Here is the sin
Something to lie about

You think you're smart
I think you're art
We agree on this
It doesn't work
Feeling like dirt
Feeling like you don't care
We get a room
And in the gloom
She lights a cigarette
Clothes on the bed
Love me she said
I lose myself to her

I'm getting feelings I'm hiding too well
(Bury the horse shaped shell)
Something broke inside my stomach
I let the pieces lie just where they fell
(Being with you is hell)

Hair blow in an open car
Summer dress slips down her arm
Hair blown in an open car

OK what's next?
After the sex
What do we now?
Finding the time
Drawing the line
And never crossing it
Gave her the hours
Gave her the power
Cannot erase her
Gave her the truth
Gave her the proof I
gave her everything

I'm getting feelings I'm hiding to well
(Bury the horse shaped shell)
Something broke inside my stomach
I let the pieces lie just where they fell
(Being with you is hell)

Hair blow in an open car
Summer dress slips down her arm
Hair blown in an open car
On a drive out to the farm
Hair blown in an open car

Hair blown in an open car
Summer dress slips down your arm
Hair blown in an open car..

Title: I Only Wanna Be With You
Artist: Hootie and the Blowfish

(Another band I grew up on, hahaha, has a nice steady pace, good for writing papers)

You and me, we come from different worlds
You like to laugh at me
When I look at other girls

Sometimes you're crazy and you wonder why
I'm such a baby
'Cause the Dolphins make me cry
Well, there's nothing I can do
I been looking for a girl like you

You look at me, you got nothing left to say
I'm gonna balance you until I get my way
I won't dance, you won't sing
I just want to love you
But you want to wear my ring

Well, there's nothing I can do
I only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
I only wanna be with you...

Put on a little Dylan, sitting on a fence
I say that line is great, you ask me what it meant by:
Said I shot a man named Gray, took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks, and when she died
It came to me, I can't help it if I'm lucky

I only wanna be with you
Ain't Bobby so cool?
I only wanna be with you

Yeah, I'm tangled up in blue
I only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
I only wanna by with you

Sometimes I wonder, if it will ever end
You get so mad at me when I got out with my friends
Sometimes you're crazy, and you wonder why
I'm such a baby, yeah, the Dolphins make me cry
Well, there's nothing I can do
I only wanna be with you

You can call me your fool
I only wanna be with you

Yeah, I'm tangled up in blue
I only wanna be with you
I only wanna be with you
I only wanna be with you

Chevelle-Closure

Breathe, trust, bless me and release,
Climb, hard or never be seen.
Closed off, rescue to breathe.
Just bless me.

Two sided time,
Your rebirth can't hurt,
Branch out behind, the pain.

Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.
Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.

Had to to turn, lay down,
Your sting of disease.
Phase you out, should've seen this coming.
Go on confusing the soul,
Hold my breath 'til you rupture.

Three days aside,
Your rebirth can't hurt,
Branch out behind, pride.

Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.
Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.

Like a leach,
I hold on as if we belonged,
To some precious pure dream.
Cast off, you've seen what's beneath,
Now fail me.

Forget closure,
Forget closure,
Forget closure,
Forget closure.

Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.
Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.
So breathe.

Title: Schism
Artist: Tool
Album: Lateralus

This is my second favorite tool song, after Vicarious xD
YouTube - Tool - Schism The music video for this song in pretty effing awesome hahaha

I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smouldering
Fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed
Will set two lovers' souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes
Testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then
Has burned a hole between us, so
We cannot seem to reach an end
Crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame
It doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other
Watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together
Rediscover communication

The poetry
That comes from the squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit
But I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smouldering
Strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know
The dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow
And strengthen our communication

Cold silence has
A tendency to
Atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers
Between supposed brothers

And I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit (x8)

[Rikkuffx]

10 Years-Wasteland

Change my attempt good intentions...

Crouched over
You were not there
Living in fear
But signs were not really that scarce
Obvious tears
And I will not
Hide you through this
I want you to help
Please see
The bleeding heart perched on my shirt

Die, withdraw
Hide in cold sweat
Quivering lips
Ignore remorse
Naming a kid, living wasteland
This time you've tried
All that you can turning you red

Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I
Here we are with your obsession
Should I, could I

Crowned hopeless
The article read living wasteland
This time you've tried
All that you can turning you red
but I will not
Hide you through this
I want you to help

Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I

Here we are with your obsession
Should I, could I

Heave the silver hollow sliver
Piercing through another victim
Turn and tremble be judgmental
Ignorant to all the symbols
Blind the face with beauty paste
Eventually you'll one day know

Change my attempt good intentions
Limbs tied, skin tight
Self inflicted his perdition

Should I, could I
Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I
Should I, could I

Title: Hollow Years
Artist: Dream Theater
Album: Live at Budokan (my personal favorite version of this song)
YouTube - Dream Theater - Hollow Years (live in Budokan)

He's just the kind of man
You hear about
Who leaves his family for
An easy out
They never saw the signs
He never said a word
He couldn't take another day

Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone
You're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years

She's not the kind of girl
You hear about
She'll never want another
She'll never be without
She'll give you all the signs
She'll tell you everything
Then turn around and walk away

Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
(Into the waves)
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone
You're crawling under
(Once the stone)
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years

Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
(Into the waves)
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone
You're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years

Once the stone
You're crawling under
Once the stone
You're crawling under
(The sound you'll hear,)
Once the stone
(the crashing)
You're crawling under
(down of hollow years)
Once the stone
You're crawling under
Once the stone
You're crawling under
Once the stone
You're crawling under
(The sound you'll hear, the crashing down of hollow years)

Ashlee Simpson-Invisible
(go ahead and make fun of me I like her songs so what?)
Like a grain on the beach
Like a star in the sky
Far too many to count with the naked eye
They won’t see you

Go ahead
Walk on by
You don’t know I’m alive
Maybe one day you’ll find
You should open your eyes
You don’t know me

[Chorus]
You’re the one who looked right through me
Now you’re saying that you knew me
When I was invisible
And you’re the one who walked right through me
Now you’re saying that you knew me
When I was invisible

Little things adding up
Try so hard not to rush
Giving in, letting go of the world we know
They won’t see you

Force it down
Lose the taste
They all think it’s a waste
We don’t need to believe every word they say, no
They don’t know me

[Chorus]
You’re the one who looked right through me
Now you’re saying that you knew me
When I was invisible
And you’re the one who walked right through me
Now you’re saying that you knew me
When I was invisible

It’s so easy to be lost
But maybe you’re not lost at all

Do you recognize me?
Do you know who I am?
Do you see me now?
Do you see me now?

[Chorus]
You’re the one who looked right through me
Now you’re saying that you knew me
When I was invisible
And you’re the one who walked right through me
Now you’re saying that you knew me
When I was invisible
I'm invisible

This is 23 minutes of Pure Epic Awesomeness

[I. The Crimson Sunrise] (0:00)

[Instrumental]

[II. Innocence] (3:50)

I remember a time
My frail, virgin mind
Watched the crimson sunrise
Imagined what it might find
Life was filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depth of winter's snow

Innocence caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life in me
Still I longed to search for more

But those days are gone now
Changed like a leaf on a tree
Blown away forever
Into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
And my son's not so bright
I struggle to hold on
With the last of my might

In my den of inequity
Viciousness and subtlety
Struggle to ease the pain
Struggle to find the same

Ignorance surrounding me
I've never been so filled with fear
All my life's been drained from me
The end is drawing near...

[III. Carpe Diem] (6:54)

"Carpe diem
Seize the day"

I'll always remember
The chill of November
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall
Ticking away
"Seize the Day"
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way
Look around
Hear the sounds
Cherish your life
While you're still around

("Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
(Old Time is still a-flying
(And this same flower that smiles today)
(Tomorrow will be dying")

We can learn
From the past
But those days
Are gone
We can hope
For the future
But there might not be one

The words stuck in my mind
Alive from what I've learned
I have to seize the day
To home I returned

Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, "I Love You...
Good-bye"

("It's the most awful thing you'll ever hear")
("If you're lying to me...")
("Oh, you dearly love her")
("...just have to leave...)
(All our lives")
("Seize the day!")
("Something happened")
("Gather ye rosebuds while ye may")
("She was killed")

[IV. The Darkest Of Winters] (10:08)

[Instrumental]

[V. Another World] (13:01)

So far or so it seems
All is lost
With nothing fulfilled
Off the pages and the
T.V. screen
Another world
Where nothing's true

Tripping through
The life fantastic
Lose a step
And never get up
Left alone
With a cold blank stare
I feel like giving up

I was blinded by a paradise
Utopia high in the sky
A dream that only drowned me
Deep in sorrow, wondering why

Oh come let us adore him
Abuse and then ignore him
No matter what
Don't let him be
Let's feed upon his misery
Then string him up for all the world to see

I'm sick of all
Your hypocrites
Holding me at bay
And I don't need
Your sympathy
To get me through the day

Seasons change and so can I
Hold on Boy
No time to cry
Untie these strings
I'm climbing down
I won't let them push me away

Oh come let us adore him
Abuse and then ignore him
No matter what
Don't let him be
Let's feed upon
His misery
Now it's time for them
To deal with me

[VI. The Inevitable Summer] (16:58)

[Instrumental]

[VII. The Crimson Sunset] (20:09)

I'm much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
Run though my head
They taught me how
For better or worse
Alive or dead
I realize
There's no turning back
Life goes on
The offbeaten track

I sit down with my son
Set to see the Crimson Sunset
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
Many years have come and gone
I've lived my life, but now must move on
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
He's my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my life is done
We look into the sun
"Seize the day
And don't you cry
Now it's time
To say good-bye
Even though
I'll be gone
I will live on
Live on"

[Joe]

I'm getting into the christmas spirit by listening to Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics, the South Park chirstmas album XD

Here's one of my favorite songs off that album:

Title: Swiss Colony Beef Log
Artist: Eric Cartman
Album: Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics

Stockings are hung near the chimney
And the presents are under the tree..
And Mamma's in the kitchen
Making some herbal tea..
Windows are covered in frost
And the candles are all alight
But as I wonder through this quiet house
Something just doesn't seem right

You see, every year, the neighbors bring us
A Swiss Colony Beeflog..
But the neightbors aren't around
And there's no beeflog to be found, this year..

Christmas, isn't Christmas
Without a Swiss Colony Beeflog..
Without those cheeses and meats
I don't think I can get along..
Mother tries to comfort me
She says 'Here son, have some eggnog'
But I farking hate eggnog seriously..

But what do I see?
Underneath the tree?
Grandma got a Swiss Colony Beeflog
Just for me! aaah, aaaaah, aaaaaah, baby!

Swiss Colony Beeflog, baby
That's what Christmas is all about!
My prayers have finally come with a beeflog, baby
Makes a little boy scream and shout!
Deck the halls with with bows of swiss colony..
La-la-la-la-la, laa-laa-laa-laaaa! ..sweet!

Symphony X- The Odyssey

[Part I Odysseus' Theme / Overture]

[Instrumental]

[Part II - Journey to Ithaca]

To the one that I love, my journey has begun
When our eyes meet once more there will be peace
The taste of your lips the warmth of your touch
again, forever, two souls as one

Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied
Home - I'm dreaming of home
I've been twenty years away from all I ever knew
to return would make my dreams come true

Seasons of sorrow have stolen all my years
I miss the rolling hills of Ithaca
I've been through battles and cried a sea of tears
but the tide is changing, and with it all my fears

Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied
Home - I'm dreaming of home
I've been twenty years away from all I ever knew
to return would make my dreams come true

Behold the sea and winds of Jove
We set sail guided by the stars above
The ports of Troy escape our view
a cold and stormy fate awaits our rendezvous

Onward we ride, into the raging fury
Setting our course by the moon and sun
We forge ahead seeking glory
Yet the journey has just begun

Onward we ride - nine days we brave her might
we are coming home...

[Part III - The Eye]

Awakened at dawn - Land dead ahead
with the winds of the morning we change course
no remorse, a place forbidden to all

Search all the grounds - find food and water
Yet journey not into the Cave of Woe
long ago, a legend spoke of a beast

A thousand riches hidden deep within the stone
A thousand nightmares mortal's blood forever flows

A mountainous black - engulfed in a shadow
a bone-chilling growl and an Eye of Hate
a ghastly fate - held prisoner by the Eye

Yet he must sleep - as the daylight fades
we focus our senses and sharpen our blade
we take aim - In silence we strike

A thousand riches hidden deep within the stone
A thousand nightmares - blood runs forever - from the Eye...

[Part IV - Circe (Daughter of the Sun)]

We sit adrift on the open sea
The gift of wind, by Zeus, concealed - so carelessly
We break the waves on a course untrue
across the endless plain of blue - a new coast in view

We carouse with the maiden
beneath her eyes the madness lies
...in mystery

I drink deep from the chalice
of gold and jade - my senses fade
...I'm mesmerized

Stay - like those before
I condemn you all - from walk to crawl
...metamorphasized

No - my will it defies her
speak the verse - lift the curse
...she's mesmerized

Am I asleep?
Tell me Daughter of the Sun
There's vengeance in the air and all things will be undone

[Part V - Sirens]

Dire warnings -
told by the sorceress in white
'false bringers of love' - Sirens
echoing songs from above

Wings flowing -
floating on Sea of Lies
I defy their vision
Elysium swallows my cries

Embracing -
maidens of lust stimulate
and manipulate my senses
I welcome a watery grave

Tied steadfast to the mast
tragedy awaits me
I'm falling victim
betrayed by the sea

[Part VI - Scylla and Charybdis]

[instrumental]

[Part VII - The Fate of the Suitors / Champion of Ithaca]

So this is home...
In the guise of a beggar - Minerva guides my way
I find my kingdom in jeopardy

Vengeance - it swells within me
As I spy so many who eye my Queen
I'll make them pay for this blasphemy... All will see

Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca
I will right all the wrongs
Let the Gods sing my song
Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca
Let a new life begin
my journey has come to and end

A contest of valor
'to pierce the twelve rings
in a single arrow's flight'
Yet, not a one can string the bow

My veil of silence lifted
All is revealed
revenge burns in my heart
thrashing and slashing down all my foes...to claim the throne

Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca
I will right all the wrongs
Let the Gods sing my song
Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca
Let a new life begin
this is the end of my Odyssey

Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied
Home - I'm finally home
It's been twenty years away from all I ever knew
I have returned to make my dream come true

[Lilium]

Say Yes by Elliott Smith

Lyrics from sweetadeline.net:

i'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
who's still around the morning after
we broke up a month ago and i grew up i didn't know
i'd be around the morning after
it's always been wait and see
a happy day and then you pay
and feel like shit the morning after
but now i feel changed around and instead falling down
i'm standing up the morning after
situations get ****ed up and turned around sooner or later
and i could be another fool or an exception to the rule
you tell me the morning after
crooked spin can't come to rest
i'm damaged bad at best
she'll decide what she wants
i'll probably be the last to know
no one says until it shows and you see how it is
they want you or they don't
say yes
i'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
who's still around the morning after

[Joe]

I'm really freakin' happy right now, so I'm listening to upbeat sounding music, haha

Title: Inside Out
Artist: Eve 6
YouTube - Eve 6 - Inside Out

I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt
turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you

I burn burn like a wicker cabinet
chalk white and oh so frail
I see out time has gotten stale

The tick tock of the clock is painful
All sane and logical
I want to tear it off the wall

I hear words and clips
and phrases I think sick like ginger ale
My stomach turns and I exhale

I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt
turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you

So Cal is where my mind states
but it's not my state of mind
I'm not as ugly sad as you
Or am I origami
folded up and just pretend
demented as the motives in your head

I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt
turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you

I alone am the one you don't know you
need me take heed feed your ego
Make me blind when your eyes close sink when you get close tie me to the bedpost
I alone am the one you don't know you
need me take heed feed your ego
Make me blind when your eyes close sink when you get close tie me to the bedpost

Lyrics:

They say you got it
I'll say you got it
You got it
You got it good
You got it
You can keep it
That's right
I don't want it
You give it away like free samples
But I don't want what anyone can have
You got it
Yeah, you got it
So what?
Keep it outta my face
Keep it outta my face
Keep it outta my face
Keep it outta my face
Just cause you got it
You think everyone wants you
You got it
You think that's enough
You got it
That's right you got it
You're ****ed
Keep it outta my face
Keep it outta my face
Keep it outta my face
Keep it outta my face
Ow
Oh
Oh

Artist: Virgin Black
Song: Lamenting Kiss
Album: Sombre Romantic

Lyrics
A child was born in silence
And winter rose to clothe itself
With a voice of one who weeps
I curse this memory
You held the hand of hope
With glory's wreath
And deceiver's promise
The vows your lips have sworn
Tomorrow wear decay
Stifled sobs
Bow to cold laughter
The breeze is speechless
As the dust drinks the dew
A child-like hope
With fear betrothed
Never ceases to kiss my feet
This is my final lamenting kiss
I have spun my last thread
My dreams have broke
My jewels are tarnished
The wailings of the heart
Are with the unborn
Dreams of poetry
It is cold within
My knotted hand strikes
A tuneless chord
The noise of tongues
In my darkened labyrinth
Prophecies are withered
To a face careworn
Why have I forsaken you?
The dove so long imprisoned
Sour remembrance
Of a day never born
My retreating steps
Are clothed in shadows
Laden in black
A man foresworn
Heaven wept
For the wounds that bled
Tears more bitter than blood
Vex my soul
I am thrown on your mercies
Yet my heart is still hardened
Weep for me, my god, weep for me
Sooth my grief
Through my artless prayers
My tears burden your aching soul
I held hope's hand
But let her forsake me
May I be faithful
To hold onto yours
To my god of darkness
My sombre romantic

Title: Tightrope
Album: In Step

Caught up in a whirlwind can't catch my breath,
knee deep in hot water broke out in a cold sweat
Can't catch a turtle in this rat race,
feels like I'm losin' time at a breakneck pace

Afraid of my own shadow in the face of grace,
heart full of darkness spotlight on my face
There was love all around me but I was lookin' for revenge,
thank God it never found me would have been the end

I was walkin' the tightrope steppin' on my friends
Walkin' the tightrope it was a shame and a sin
Walkin' the tightrope between wrong and right
Walkin' the tightrope both day and night

Lookin' back in front of me in the mirror's a grin,
through eyes of love I see I'm really lookin' at a friend
We've all had our problems that's the way life is,
my heart goes out to others who are there to make amends

We've been walkin' the tightrope tryin' to make it right
Walkin' the tightrope every day and every night
Walkin' the tightrope bring it all around
Walkin' the tightrope from the lost to found

Walkin' the tightrope stretched around the world
Walkin' the tightrope save the boys and girls
Walkin' the tightrope let's make it right
Walkin' the tightrope do it do it tonight
Walkin' the tightrope

Song: Angels
Album: Angels


Sparkling angel I believed
You are my savior in my time of need.
Blinded by faith I couldn't hear
All the whispers, the warnings so clear.
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door.
There's no escape now,
No mercy no more.
No remorse cause I still remember

The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realise.
It was all just a lie.

Sparkling angel, I couldn't see
Your dark intentions, your feelings for me.
Fallen angel, tell me why?
What is the reason, the thorn in your eye?
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse cause I still remember

The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they turn into real.
You broke the promise and made me realise.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.

This world may have failed you,
It doesn't give you a reason why.
You could have chosen a different path in life.

The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they turn into real.
You broke the promise and made me realise.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.

Song: Shooting Star
Album: Deepest Blue


It's a black and white picture
A smile from the past
That tattooed the moments we had.
Like a treasured possession, a gift from the gods
Everything is falling apart.

You just don't care anymore
You're just not there any more

You're a shooting star that fell without a trace
And you shot so far that your mind began to race
What's the point in colour when you're gray
Cause you're a shooting star that fell without the rain.

I know that you're leaving and nothing stays the same
Broken heart adventures mislaid.
Numbed all my feelings
Take away the pain
The hour hand is stealing you away.

You just don't care anymore
You're just not there any more

You're a shooting star that fell without a trace
And you shot so far that your mind began to race
What's the point in colour when you're gray
Cause you're a shooting star that fell without the rain x 2

Song: Weather Reports
Artist: Bright Eyes
Album: Noise Floor (Rarities: 1998-2005)

Well I left my baby for a dream as lovely, for a love that's only in books I've read.
And then I hit the cities, spent all my money, I just left my whole life in a taxi cab.
Cause it's just a memory, I can't love completely, when you're really with me, I’m indifferent.
But I try to get my head clear, it's too full of ideas that I haven't thought of yet.
And time, clocks keep waving their hands, doing all that they can to get our attention,
but the days fly away down a clean interstate and I'm staring drunk at a map.
So I let my hair down for the second time now, for the final time, now I had my fun.
But there's no returning from the places we've been, just repeat our slogan, never again.
So we split, said you had to get out, headed back to the south, where everything is gentle.
And I stayed for a couple weeks more, all the weather reports said it would be snow for sure,
but the storm moved away to a neighboring state. I started the car.
