Woke up this morning without a face
I've fooled myself again
I've sold myself again
Another wasted day counting shades
Of gray, another fool's attempt to fall from grace

A casual line.
A sip of wine to sympathize while you're laughing
But on the inside
I've lost the insight that just might be
The truth...

Old man loneliness is a son of a bitch
Both hands bound, can't scratch the itch
Cut off all loose ties, and bleed for days
Who could stand veins with friends like these?

Pick my teeth out of the mud
And sink the sun, what have you done?
Cut the bandages,
Remove the oxygen
Hey man what's with that stupid grin?

I cut and bleed myself along
A man alone can do no wrong
Another wasted day counting shades of gray
Another fool's attempt to fall from grace

Old man loneliness is a son of a bitch
Both hands bound, can't scratch the itch
Cut off all loose ties, and bleed for days
Who could stand veins with friends like these?
Old man loneliness is a son of a bitch
Both hands bound, can't scratch the itch
Cut off all loose ties, and bleed for days
Who could stand veins with friends like these?

No sympathy for the devil
God gave him wings, God gave him wings
No sympathy for the devil
God gave him wings, God gave him wings

"These hands; they've made for you
(No sympathy for the devil)
(God gave him wings, God gave him wings)
your wings that stick to you."
It's dirt beneath your fingertips
It hurts to much to wait for it
It's dirt beneath your fingertips
It hurts to much to wait for it
It's dirt beneath your fingertips
It hurts to much to wait for this

Old man loneliness is a son of a bitch
Both hands bound, can't scratch the itch
Cut off all loose ties, and bleed for days
Who could stand veins with friends like these?
Old man loneliness is a son of a bitch

Me vs Maradona vs Elvis - Brand New

With one or two I get used to the room
We go slow when we first make our moves
By five or six bring you out to the car
Number nine with my head on the bar

And it's sad, but true
Out of cash and I.O.U's

I've got desperate desires and unadmirable plans
My tongue will taste of gin and malicious intent
Bring you back to the bar
Get you out of the cold
A sober, straight face gets you out of your clothes
And they're scared that we know
All the crimes they'll commit
Who they'll kiss before they get home

I will lie awake
Lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say

Barely conscious in the door where you stand
Your eyes are fighting sleep while your mouth makes its demands
You laugh at every word trying hard to be cute
I almost feel sorry for what I'm going to do
And your hair smells of smoke
Who will cast the first stone?
You can sin or spend the night all alone

Brass buttons on your coat hold the cold
In the shape of a heart that they cut out of stone
You're using all your looks that you've thrown from the start
If you let me have my way I swear I'll tear you apart
Cause it's all you can be
You're a drunk and you're scared
It's ladies night, all the girls drink for free

I will lie awake
And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say

Sadie Hawkins Dance - Relient K

All the girls in the bathroom talkin
who they gonna take to the Sadie Hawkins
My ears are burnin but I kept on walkin
smile on my face and an air guitar rockin

The Sadie Hawkins Dance
in my khaki pants
There's nothin better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothin better
baby do you like my sweater?

Sittin in the back of my next class nappin
Got up, gave a speech, then bowed to the clapping
Told a funny joke got the whole class laughin
think I got a tan from the language which I was baskin

The Sadie Hawkins Dance
in my khaki pants
There's nothin better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothin better
baby do you like my sweater?

Scan the cafeteria for some good seating
I found a good spot by the cheerleaders eating
The quarterback asked me if I'd like a beating
I said that's one thing I won't be needing
And since I'm rather smart and cunning
I took off down the next hall running
Only to get stopped by a girl so stunning
only to get stopped by a girl so stunning?

She said, "You're smooth, and good with talkin.
You're going with me to the Sadie Hawkins"

The Sadie Hawkins Dance
in my khaki pants
There's nothin better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothin better
baby do you like my sweater?

The Sadie Hawkins Dance
in my khaki pants
There's nothin better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothin better
baby do you like my sweater?



That's the shit right there...oh yes

Moodswing Whiskey - Jeff Buckley - Mystery White Boy Tour

mood swing whiskey
drank it all in the trailer
waiting for the dark to move in
sitting in my step-sister's kitchen
horseflies on the window sill
eyes trained on the lemon peel
and wishing it were a gun

i'm thinking of my wedding ring
trapped inside the heater
spring water on the floor of this
sex starved room

your nightmare falls around me
the waves of bliss
i tried to stop it with my hand
i was lost in the kiss
with you

mood swing whiskey
your bliss, the actress,
bliss, the assassin
bliss, the abyss

did a crazy shot of whiskey
in about zero to sixty
all i could see was the bill

i'm singing through a melody with a drink in my right hand
eyes sparkling flame and amazed

say buzz me up to your junkyard paradise
buzz me up to your junkyard paradise
baby i need a sweet-ass photo of you

i cheated, and i lied, and you stole her
stung my tongue just like
sweat from her shoulder

ooh, mood swing whiskey
your love, the destroyer
love, the destroyer
love, love...

yes mood swing whiskey fucked my brain
only you can break this chain
i need her in my bed again
yeah yeah yeah yeah(x4)

going down to the subway station
i'm packing a rod
all unnecessary histories erased
i am a punishing god
mood swing whiskey
your prodigal son has returned

and i said this is for all the headless acrobats
faces crushed in the circus dust
all in the name of gravity
and the price of admission

beautiful loser warm hearts have let you now
beautiful loser warm hearts have left you
'cause you're beautiful...

i think of mankind in quotation marks
ever since i took a drink from you


BEST FREAKING SONG EVER!!!!! that is all

Artist: Emery Lyrics
Song: As Your Voice Fades

somebody please tell me
what am i suppose to do?
you died and i'm here
thinking that i hear your voice,
but it's somebody else
it's always somebody else
why did you die?
don't leave me please
i beg you God tonight bring me peace
i'll never sleep without
the dreams of you alive here with me
the brightness left your eyes
as i held your face
don't tell me it's the right time
and your last words will sustain me
until my end...until i see you again
white words (your life) evade me (but a moment)
i'll wait to (i'll cling to) remember you (forever)
and what you had (your words) meant to me (on my blood)
could never be forgotten
the chains (why) of death (don't take)
are falling (away), but my heart still bleeds
it longs for (why) the day (did you die)
when we will be as one







probably the saddest song ive ever heard

She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
"A joke of a romantic" or stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too over-dramatic
Tonight it's "it can't get much worse"
Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

You always fold just before you're found out
Drink up its last call
Last resort
But only the first mistake and I...

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress, love

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress (mattress, mattress)
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead

Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance

Ready Fuels

This car turned over without a key or gasoline tonight
Feel everything on fire and I'm dressed to kill killing for your dress goodnight
Help me to wait on you, hesitate it too, cause I'm alone
Feel so jaded, contemplative, waiting for you

We're running hot tonight and it feels so good
Your arm in mine here near midnight and it feels so right
Girls and the boys chase down running hot tonight

Running down the ready fuels it's finally over, just get over
Time will tell if all turns out ok
Help me to realize my dream is dying redefine despair
I turned away
So look the other way tonight

Can you wait for me a little longer/stronger?

Its going down tonight in this town
Cause they stare and growl
They all stare and growl
I take a scar everytime i cry
Cause it aint my style no it aint my style
Going down to the gravel head to the barrel
Take this life and end this struggle
Los Angeles come scam me please
Emptiness never sleeps at Cliftons 6 am
With your bag lady friend and your mind descending
Stripped of the right to be a human in control
Its warmer in hell so down we go

They say this is the city
The city of angels
All i see is dead wings
[x2]

Its a ghost town rabid underworld
Dionysian night vitriolic twilight
A mirage comes up it never ends
Once you get burnt youre never the same
Left behind erased from time
Aint no decency in being boxed up alive
Look around aint no R.I.P. signs here
We dont rest in peace
We just disappear

So here we are Los Angeles
No angels singing in your valley of unease
I watch the sun roll down the pacific
Over hookered sunset strip

They say this is the city
The city of angels
All I see is dead wings
[x2]

Theres a black moon tonight
Aint shining down on the western neon lights
[x2]

They say this is the city
The city of angels
All i see is dead wings
[x4]

Dear Live Journal
Evergreen Terrace

All eyes must be on you.
It's a pity you're addicted too.
Now go ahead, manipulate them.
Initiating doubt, a new dynamic found.
By sharing all your weightless problems.
All on the outside looking in.
Take this moment to see what you've begun.
Display this moment to see what you've become.
Defined by what you sell, those lies packaged well.
But you know that we can see right through you.
Attention's wearing thin so type it out again.
I hope this all made you happy.
Forfeit all of your integrity for a temporary high.
Lay it all out for the world to see.
Manufacture one more lie.

Great Taste Sofay, the distillers are great. I'm usually not a fan of female vocalists but they rock.

can’t look at the rocket launch
The trophy wives of the astronauts
And I won’t listen to their words
’cause I like
Birds

I don’t care for walkin’ downtown
Crazy auto-car gonna mow me down
Look at all the people like cows in a herd
Well, I like
Birds

If you’re small and on a search
I’ve got a feeder for you to perch on

I can’t stand in line at the store
The mean little people are such a bore
But it’s alright if you act like a turd
’cause I like
Birds

If you’re small and on a search
I’ve got a feeder for you to perch on
I’ve got a feeder for you to perch on
If you’re small and on a search
I’ve got a feeder for you to perch on
I’ve got a feeder for you to perch on

thanks Anton. although, i think Brody Dalle sounds somewhat androgenous...




Now I can taste
The war that I've been fighting
Start to fall but I'm still standing here
Behind the wall of dying faith

I can't forget
The fight that's growing stronger
Face to face with hopes of longer days
To build on something we should save

I stand alone
I'm on my own
My hands will bleed (my hands will bleed!)
I'm holding on to what is gone
What's left of me?

I'm falling down
But I should find my strength in this
A light that burns to reconnect
My heart for what it's meant to give

I stand alone
I'm on my own
My hands will bleed (my hands will bleed!)
I'm holding on to what is gone
What's left of me?!

Walk!
Fall!
Stand again so I can
Walk!
Fall!
Stand again so I can
Walk!
Fall!
Stand again so I can

FALL!!!

I stand alone
I'm on my own
My hands will bleed (my hands will bleed!)
I'm holding on to what is gone
What's left of me?!

H2O GO!

There she stands, this lovely creature
There she stands, there she stands
With her hair full of ribbons
And green gloves on her hands

So I asked this lovely creature
Yes, I asked. Yes I asked
Would she walk with me a while
Through this night so fast

She took my hand, this lovely creature
"Yes", she said, "Yes", she said
"Yes, I'll walk with you a while"
It was a joyful man she led

Over hills, this lovely creature
Over mountains, over ranges
By great pyramids and sphinxs
We met drifters and strangers

Oh the sands, my lovely creature
And the mad, moaning winds
At night the deserts writhed
With diabolical things

Through the night, through the night
The wind lashed and it whipped me
When I got home, my lovely creature
She was no longer with me

Somewhere she lies, this lovely creature
Beneath the slow drifting sands
With her hair full of ribbons
And green gloves on her hands

AS I LAY DYING
CONFINED

That night I never came home.
Wandering souls captured my thoughts..
Emptiness filled my mind.
Urgency spoke her lies.
In the confines of these grey walls.
I watched them move together.
Taking me places I cannot remember (remember).
We have been poured out...
Into a loveless bride..
How quickly I forget...
That this is meaningless.
How quickly I forget...
That this is meaningless.
In a world passing through my fingers.
I still chase the wind.
How quickly I forget...
That this is meaningless
How quickly I forget...
That this is meaningless
what have I learned from yesterday?
what have I learned from yesterday?

there's a club, if you'd like to go
you could meet somebody who really loves you
so you go, and you stand on your own
and you leave on your own
and you go home, and you cry and you want to die

I can't get over this song - so much better when you hear it.

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps - Doris Day

You won't admit you love me
And so how am I ever to know
You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

A million times I've asked you
And then I ask you over again
You only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted

So if you really love me say yes
But if you don't dear, confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

So if you really love me say yes
But if you don't dear, confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps - perhaps - perhaps

It's all and the same
It's all and the same, oh

So what's the use between death and glory?
I can't tell between death and glory
Happy endings, no, they never bore me
Happy endings, they still don't bore me
They, they have a way
A way to make you pay
And to make you toe the line
Sever the ties
Because I'm so clever
But clever ain't wise

And fuck forever
If you don't mind
Fuck forever
If you don't mind (don't mind)

What's the use between death and glory?
I can't tell between death and glory
New Labour and Tory
Pergatory and happy families

All and the same
All and the same
No, it's not the same
It's not suppose to be the same

Know about that way
The way they'll make you pay
And the way they make you toe the line
Sever the ties
Oh, you're so clever
You're so clever but not very nice
So fuck forever
If you don't mind
I'm stuck forever
(I'm stuck) in your mind

Go ahead and know about that way
To make you feel/realise to make you pay
And...
To make you toe the line
Sever the ties
I'll never...
Sever the ties
And fuck forever
If you don't mind
See I'm stuck forever
I'm stuck in your mind, your mind, your mind, your mind

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then i'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know

This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all

Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

Did you say 'no, this can't happen to me,'
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn't know him at all
You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
Offer signs that it's over... it's over

Coldplay - Low

You see the world in black and white
No colour or light
You think you'll never get it right
But you're wrong. You might.

The sky could fall, could fall on me
The parting of the sea
But you mean more, mean more to me
Than any colour I can see

All you ever wanted was love,
But you never looked hard enough,
It's never gonna give itself up

All you ever wanted to be
Living in perfect symmetry,
Nothing is as down or as up as us

You see the world in black and white
Not painted right
You see no meaning to your life
You should try
You should try

All you ever wanted was love,
But you never looked hard enough,
It's never gonna give itself up

All you ever wanted to be,
Living in perfect symmetry,
Nothing is as down or as up

Don't you want to see it come soon,
Floating in a big white balloon
Come give her your own silver spoon

Don't you want to see it come down?
There for throwing your arms around
And say "You're not a moment too soon."

Cause I feel loved, cause I feel loved
ooooh...
Yeah I feel loved
oh no...oooh
Cause I feel loved, cause I feel loved
oh...
Yet I feel loved
oh no...oooh

One last thing I beg you please just before you go
I've watched you fly on paper wings halfway round the world
Until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down
landed somewhere far from here with no one else around
to catch you falling down
and I'm looking at you now

and I can't tell if you're laughing
between each smile there's a tear in your eye
there's a train leaving town in an hour
it's not waiting for you, and neither am I

"Swing for the fences son" he must have told you once
but that was a conversation you took nothing from
so raise your glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done
just put off another day of knowing where you're from
and you can catch up with yourself if you run...

and I can't tell if you're laughing
between each smile there's a tear in your eye
there's a train leaving town in an hour
it's not waiting for you, and neither am I

is this the life that you lead?
or the life that's lead for you?
will you take the road that's been laid out before you
will we cross paths somewhere else tonight? somewhere else tonight...

and I can't tell if you're laughing
between each smile there's a tear in your eye
there's a train leaving town in an hour
it's not waiting for you, and neither am I

While Oceana Sleeps Lyrics
Sparta


It wakes me up and shakes my bones
It makes me miss my friends
You wasted days, I hung my head
I wore these blinders
So I'll hide from you

You can hear the sound
When walls break down
You wasted my days
Building on shaky ground
You can't carry on
When walls break down
Such wasted days
Building on shaky ground

Sitting face to face, tides will rise
Our light is in your eyes
We will be heard, our voice is strong
You shamed yourself
And we're done with you

This is your life you led
This is my life you bled

These tides sweep us out of reach
