Focus by 10 Years

Digging deeper in my mind, can't get you out of my head.
There's no way to describe, just how you make me feel.
I don't know is it love, I have lost control
Even when I'm gone, I can't get away.
I can't focus, when I'm near you.
Do you notice, me at all?
I can't focus, when I hear you.
Do you notice, that I can't focus?
Like the moth fly's to the light, catch it at first sight
I can't deny, I'm taken by the beauty in your eye's
I don't know is it love, I have lost control.
Even when I'm gone, I can't get away.
I can't focus, when I'm near you.
Do you notice, me at all?
I can't focus, when I hear you.
Do you notice, that I can't focus?
I can't focus, when I'm near you.
Do you notice, me at all?
I can't focus, when I hear you.
Do you notice?
Do you notice?
I can't focus, when I'm near you.
Do you notice, me at all?
I can't focus, when I hear you.
Do you notice, that I can't focus?

Second Chance by Shinedown

My eyes are open wide
And by the way, I made it
Through the day
I watched the world outside
By the way, I'm leaving out
Today

Well, I just saw hailey's
Comet shooting
Said why you always running
In place?
Even the man in the
Moon disappears
Somewhere in the
Stratosphere

[Chorus]
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realise
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Please don't cry
One tear for me
I'm not afraid of
What I have to say
This is my one and
Only voice
So listen close, it's
Only for today

Well, I just saw hailey's
Comet shooting
Said why you always running
In place?
Even the man in the
Moon disappears
Somewhere in the
Stratosphere

[Chorus]
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realise
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Heres my chance
This is my chance

Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realise
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

The Channel by Limp Bizkit

[Verse 1]
Check one
I don't like the radio
I don't like tv
They're selling so much shit these days
And this shit is not who I want to be
I don't like officials
Using rank to pretend they're not crooks
I don't like the tricks played on kids
in those shitty teen metal books
I don't like my heroes
To kill themselves with the drugs
I don't think success
can fill you up when you need love
I don't like the whores
That try to fuck you for your game
I don't like my childhood
And do not need someone else to blame

[Chorus]
This is the channel I'm dialed into
I already know you, are dialed in too
This is the channel I'm dialed into
and I already know you, are dialed in too
I already know you are dialed in too
I already know you are dialed in too

[Verse 2]
Come on
I don't like this music
I don't like this band
I like what we're about
and mock what you cannot understand
I don't like being paranoid
I don't like that I'm breeding again
but I accept all these cards I've been dealt
And do not be your motherfucking friend

[Chorus]
This is the channel I'm dialed into
I already know you, are dialed in too
This is the channel I'm dialed into
and I already know you, are dialed in too
I already know you are dialed in too
I already know you are dialed in too

[Bridge]
Who gives a fuck about what I like
who gives a fuck about who listens
as long as I'm here
as long as you know you can keep me here
for whenever you get lost
or you need an excuse to coverup your intentions
you hate that I express how I'm feeling
you hate that you relate to this shit
you hate that I'm a tick
a motherfucking tick
you're finding hard to forget!

[Chorus]
This is the channel I'm dialed into
I already know you, are dialed in too
This is the channel I'm dialed into
and I already know you, are dialed in too
I already know you are dialed in too
I already know you are dialed in too

Death Will Never Conquer by Coldplay

If sweet death
Should ever conquer me
Let me know
Boys, let me know
If you hear him coming
Won't you let me flee
Let me go, boys, let me go

One day
Death is gonna conquer me
I'll be down
Where the waters flow
I hope sweet Heaven
Is a place for me
Let me know
Boys, let me know

If sweet death
Should ever conquer me
Take me down
To some place below
If you hear him coming
Won't you set me free
Let me go
Boys, let me go

If you hear him comin'
Won't you say for me
That I just
Don't want to go

Time to Pretend by MGMT

I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life.
Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives.
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.

This is our decision, to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do.
Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute.

Forget about our mothers and our friends
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend

I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I'll miss the boredem and the freedom and the time spent alone.

There's really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew.
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce
We'll find some more models, everything must run it's course.

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Been Caught Stealing by Jane's Addiction

I've been caught stealing;
once when I was 5...
I enjoy stealing.
It's just as simple as that.
Well, it's just a simple fact.
When I want something,
I don't want to pay for it.

I walk right through the door.
Walk right through the door.
Hey all right! If I get by, it's mine.
Mine all mine!

My girl, she's one too.
She'll go and get her a shirt.
Stick it under her skirt.
She grabbed a razor for me.
And she did it just like that.
When she wants something,
She don't want to pay for it.

She walk right through the door.
Walk right through the door.
Hey all right! If I get by, it's mine.
Mine all mine!

We sat around the pile.
We sat and laughed.
We sat and laughed and
Waved it into the air!
And we did it just like that.
When we want something,
We don't want to pay for it.

We walk right through the door.
Walk right through the door.
Hey, all right! If I get by, it's mine,
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine...

We are Godzilla, You Are Japan by Lostprophets

've heard all your whining
All this talk behind my back
The time is coming
The time is now for our attack
A new sun rising
A new one in your world of black
Dont try to stop this
You will break like glass

Move over son
Your time is done
The weak are trapped under our feet
The city's gone
We see you run
Cause you can't take our heat

Let's go
The only way we know
Is taking you out

Did you not understand me?
Were you not listening last time?
A new day dawning
And were taking back your life
You look so pathetic
And were taking back control
Im sorry but we have to let you go

Move over son
Your time is done
The weak are trapped under our feet
The city's gone
We see you run
Cause you can't take our heat

Let's go
The only way we know
Is taking you out

Taking you out

Well Thought Out Twinkles by Silversun Pickups

What was that scar situated from afar
What was that light integrated in your mind
What have you done it's too early for everyone
Wait for that sign spilling over and passed in time

Come join in the last hurrah with open sores and open
Jaw
Find one last flaw and keep it safe and free from harm
What have you done it's too early for everyone
So smile go inside come to see there is no sign

Now here we are revisiting
A time a place a whole industry well we
We promise we'll be leaving soon
We share apocalyptic views
How comforting that we feel it too
Who are we to promise we'll be leaving shortly

Come join in the last hurrah with open sores and open
Jaw
What was that light integrated in your mind
What have you done it's too early for everyone
Wait for that sign spilling over and over and
Over....

Almost Ready by Dinosaur Jr.

I've been asking 'round if you were there
Asking, but I'm always scared
Asking 'cause I want to care again
Come on life
I'm almost ready
Not right
I'm almost ready

I've been wondering if the message sent
Wondering if I made a dent
Wondering what it is you meant again
Come on life
I'm almost ready
Not right
I'm almost ready

Can you see me there?
'cause I'm not sure
See me, 'cause I lost my nerve
See me there, 'cause I feel worse again
Come on life
I'm almost ready
Not right
I'm almost ready

Let me find the truth I will attack
Find the truth, I won't go back
Find the truth, I'm way off track again

Refill Me by Smile Empty Soul

I love my job
I love the house i live in
And i love my mom
I love the teachers at my school
They teach me how to love
But best of all

I love the pills the doctor gives me
Don't talk
Shut up
Just refill me
Cause I'm feeling kind of low today
And the pills will make it go away

My friends are great
All they do is talk
But have nothing to say
I love L.A.
The air is beautiful
And its sunny every day
But best of all

I love the pills the doctor gives me
Don't talk
Shut up
Just refill me
Cause I'm feeling kind of low today
And the pills will make it go away

Better off like this
Than to feel the real shit
This haze, this fog, this place
Twist the top
Give me another kiss

I love the pills the doctor gives me
Don't talk
Shut up
Just refill me
Cause I'm feeling kind of low today
And the pills will make it go away

Go away!
Go away!

Save Your Scissors by City and Colour

So go on
And I will refrain
And I'll keep on running this neverending race
Well maybe next time will be the right time
And maybe next time will be your time

So save your scissors
For someone else's skin
My surface is so tough
i dont think the blade will dig in save your strength save your wasted time theres no way that i want you to be left behind
go on and save your scissors
save your scissors

So why does it always seem
That every time I turn around
Somebody falls in love with me
This has never been my sole intention
And I have never claimed
to have patents on such inventions


Just save your scissors
For someone else's skin
My surface is so tough
I don't think the blade will dig in
Save your strength
Save your wasted time
There's no way that I want you to be left behind
Go on save your scissors
Save your scissors

There is something that I must confess to you tonight
To you tonight
And that is I expect nothing less from you tonight
From you tonight

Go on save your scissors
Save your scissors
Save your scissors

Shine With Me by P.O.D

So why don't you come with me
And take a trip to the other side?
Where you and I, we can sing, we can fly
We can dance as the stars go by
And the heavens will open up
With a vision inside 'jah love
The earth, and the moon, and the sun will align
With a voice from the sky above
One love

So come on and shine with me
Like the beautiful star you are.
So come on and shine with me
Shine with me.

Float through the sky,
And look through my eyes
And then you will see what happens.
Nowhere to hide, look deep down inside
In life you must take your chances
Come with me and you will see
So come with me and you will see
One love...

So come on and shine with me
Like the beautiful star you are
And leave it behind with me
Cause forever is not that far
So come on and shine with me
Like the beautiful star you are
And leave it behind with me
And shine with me

Shine on, shine on, shine on! one love!

The Lighthouse by Interpol

This place is set to break
It's just as safe for me outside tonight

And I want that
I face the storm's apetite
From the lighthouse

And I want that
I face the storm and the night
Whole

What do the waves have to say?
What do the waves have to say now now?
Slow now
I let the waves have their way now now
Slow
I let the waves have their day

Here I've been living unloosened from sin
Upward and outward
Begin, begin

Here I've been loosened, unliving within
Inwardly urgent
I'm sinking again

Believe by The Bravery

The faces all around me they don't smile they just crack
Waiting for our ship to come but our ships not coming back
We do our time like pennies in a jar
What are we saving for [x2]

There's a smell of stale fear that's reeking from our skins.
The drinking never stops because the drinks absolve our sins
We sit and grow our roots into the floor
But what are we waiting for? [x2]


So give me something to believe
Cause I am living just to breathe
And I need something more
To keep on breathing for
So give me something to believe

Something's always coming you can hear it in the ground
It swells into the air
With the rising
Rising sound
And never comes but shakes the boards and rattles all the doors
What are we waiting for [x2]


I am hiding from some beast
But the beast was always here
Watching without eyes
Because the beast is just my fear
That I am just nothing
Now its just what I've become
What am I waiting for
Its already done

Oh

Flux by Bloc Party

If your right hand is causing you pain
Cut it off, cut it off
If your colours have started to run
Let them all run, run away from you

There is lightning in this room
Above our heads, waiting to strike
I'm a thinker not a talker
Put your faith, your faith in God

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux

I'd kill for an adventure
Just you and I, in the Curzon Bar
Dancing till we knew
So all that we've learnt disappears

When you shouted at me
I saw my father in the second grade
Concerned and kind
Yet unable to reach me

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux

State of flux

We need to talk

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of flux

Fight for Us by Fightstar

hope you stay awake
And live through this
These smoke filled rooms
Won't clear

And you'll see the hearts
That will break
If you walk away and just leave us here
To bury this mess

Maybe one day you will come and fight for us
Maybe one day you will come and fight for us
End the suffering

I hope that when you sleep
You see this face, holding on for life
Cause you see, the time that it takes
For all this to break, And you've gone away
And left us all behind

Maybe one day you will come and fight for us
Maybe one day you will come and fight for us
End the suffering, come and fight for us
End the suffering

Come and fight for...
Come and fight for...
Come and fight for...
Come and fight for us

Enjoy the Silence by It Dies Today

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be Broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I wanted
All I needed is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

All I wanted
All I needed is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm


Enjoy the silence
Enjoy the silence

Fall Into Sleep by Mudvayne

Dreams of earthquakes, dreams of hurricanes, dreams of
The pouring rain, dreams of tidal waves...to wash us all
Away.
Dreams of guns blazed, dreams of fire rage, dreams of
Swollen graves, dreams of
Hollow pain all gone.
No more fallen, no more enemy, no more casualty, no more
Dream.

Fall into sleep! Fall into me! I have a dream but nobody
cares! Nobody wants to listen!
Fall into sleep! Fall into me! Hang onto a dream that
nobody wants! Nobody cares anymore!

Dreams of mourning grief, dreams of disbelief, dreams of
Tragedy.
Dreams of our disease, to take us all away.
Dreams of fidelity, dreams of inner peace, dreams of
Loyalty, dreams of unity, all gone, all gone.

Fall into sleep! Fall into me! I have a dream but nobody
cares! Nobody wants to listen!
Fall into sleep! Fall into me! Hang onto a dream that
nobody wants! Nobody cares anymore!

The angels are injured, fall with broken burning wings,
Are we dead inside? Are we blind?
We can't keep moving forward, backwards with closed eyes,
We're losing sight, all lost inside.
No more fallen, no more enemy.

Fall into sleep! Fall into me! I have a dream but nobody
cares! Nobody wants to listen!
Fall into sleep! Fall into me! Hang onto a dream that
nobody wants! Nobody cares anymore!

Anymore.
All Gone.

Jigsaw Falling Into Place by Radiohead

Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favourite song
As your bad mood disappears
No longer wound up like a spring
Before you've had too much
Come back in focus again

The walls abandon shape
They've got a cheshire cat grin
All blurring into one
This place is on a mission
Before the night owl
Before the animal noises
Closed circuit cameras
Before you're comatose

Before you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
The beat goes round and round
The beat goes round and round
I never really got there
I just pretended that I had
What's the point of instruments
Words are a sawed off shotgun

Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out

Before you run away from me
Before you start unravelling
Before you take my mic
Just as you dance, dance, dance

Jigsaws falling into place
There is nothing to explain
Regard each other as you pass
She looks back, you look back
Not just once
Not just twice
Wish away the nightmare
Wish away the nightmare
You've got a light you can feel it on your back
You've got a light you can feel it on your back
Jigsaws falling into place

Heart of Life by John Mayer

I hate to see you cry
Laying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen

Pain throws you heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way, it should
But I know the heart of life is good

You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way, it should
But I know the heart of life is good

Southtown by POD

Welcome to hard times, back again like its never been
For the first time it seem to mess with my head
When I realize what it takes, can I relate
With whatever, but never will it drive me to hate
Could be the next guy that you take before I wake
Now I lay me down to sleep, eyes tight when I pray
This her is real life, circumstances make you think
Should I be counting my blessings, the next second my eyes blink
chorus:
Here in the Southtown you know that kid don't play
Put it down it the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine
And thank God that I made it alive

One love it's easier said than done
Can I rise above anything that gets in my way?
Like words you say, you let your tongue get loose
And when push comes to shove, I'm not used to walking away
I keep on looking up, because these times are getting tough
Tomorrow's gone and it's the same o' song
Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up
A life to shine, you're the diamond in this rough

It ain't got to be like this

Don't wanna throw up my fist, Don't wanna be like this
Don't wanna throw up my fist, I must resist

Small Silhouette by Mudvayne

Looking
Can't seem to get away
No one knows
No one except for me
Paranoid
I can't stop looking over my shoulder
Stalking me, chasing me
Am I lost inside a dream

Life consumed with fear
Small silhouettes approaching
Chasing through this mystery

Listening
The deafening noise of silence
No ones there
Always just the two of me
Turning
I can't stand with my back towards the door
Halting me, following
Lost in my own memory

Life consumed with fear
Small silhouettes approaching
Chasing through this mystery
Shadow is drawing near
Am I being taught a lesson?
By my own lifes history

Feel us watching
Voices are speaking to me
Pictures following
And they sit there pointing

I can't see, I can't fight, I can't leave, it wont die
Its become part of me

I can't run, I can't hide, I can't run, it wont die
Its always been a part of my life

Guilt is digging deeper
Guilt is stretching deeper inside
Guilt is stabbing downward
Guilt inside is killing me

Life consumed with fear
Small silhouettes approaching
Chasing through this mystery
Shadow is drawing near
Am I being taught a lesson...

All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix(Bob Dylan cover)

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Theres too much confusion
I cant get no relief
Businessman they drink my wine
Plow men dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth
Hey hey

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke but uh
But you and I weve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hours getting late
Hey

Hey

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Bare-foot servants to, but huh
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approachin
And the wind began to howl
Hey
Oh
All along the watchtower
Hear you sing around the watch
Gotta beware gotta beware I will
Yeah
Ooh baby
All along the watchtower

Finding Myself by Smile Empty Soul

I don't care anymore if I let you down
I believe that I need to be free
I'm so used to my life with you around
I don't know anymore....the real me

And I thought that I found myself
And I thought that I had control
All the change in my life just fell away
For a moment I didn't need you

All these tears that I've cried
You must be tired of taking care of me but
Its what you do best and
I'm a liar cause really its what I need

And I thought that I found myself today
And I thought that I had control
All the change in my life just fell away
For a moment I didn't need you

Someone like you
Someone like me
Maybe its change that set you free
Free....

And I thought that I found myself today
And I thought that I had control
All the change in my life just fell away
For a moment I didn't need you

And I thought that I found myself today
And I thought that I had control
All the change in my life just fell away
For a moment I didn't need you

My Ashes by Porcupine Tree

All the things that I needed
I wasted my chances
I have found myself wanting

When a mother and father
Gave me their problems
I accepted them all

Nothing ever expected
I was rejected
But I came back for more

And my ashes drift beneath the silver sky
Where a boy rides on a bike and never smiles

And my ashes fall over all the things we've said
On a box of photographs under the bed

I will stay in my own world
Under the covers
I will feel safe inside

The kiss that will burn me
Cure me of dreaming
I was always returning

And my ashes find a way beyond the fog
And return to save the child that I forgot

And my ashes fade among the things unseen
And a dream plays in reverse on piano keys

And my ashes drop upon a park in Wales
Never-ending clouds of rain, and distant sails... distant sails
