Everything Changes by Staind

If you just walked away
What could I really say?
Would it matter anyway?
Would it change how you feel?
I am the mess you chose

The closet you cannot close
The devil in you i suppose
'Cause the wounds never heal
But everything changes
If I could Turn back the years
If you could Learn to forgive me
Then I could learn to feel
Sometimes the things I say
In moments of disarray

Succumbing to the games we play
To make sure that it's real
But everything changes
If I could Turn back the years
If you could Learn to forgive me
Then I could learn to feel
When it's just me and you
Who knows what we could do
If we can just make it through
The toughest part of the day
But everything changes

If I could Turn back the years
If you could Learn to forgive me
Then I could Learn how to feel
Then we could
Stay here together
And we could
Conquer the world
If we could
Say that forever
Is more than just a word
If you just walked away

What could I really say?
And would it matter anyway?
It wouldn't change how you feel

Panic Attack by Dream Theater

All wound up

On the edge

Terrified

Sleep disturbed

Restless mind

Petrified

Bouts of fear

Permeate

All I see

Heightening

Nervousness

Threatens me

I am paralyzed

So afraid to die

Caught off guard

Warning signs

Never show

Tension strikes

Choking me

Worries grow

Why do I feel so numb

Is it something to do with where I come from

Should this be fight or flight

I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight

Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest

Agitated body in distressI feel like I'm in danger

Daily life is strangled by my stress

A stifling surge

Shooting through all my veins

Extreme apprehension

Suddenly I'm insane

Lost all hope for redemption

A grave situation desperate at best

Why do I feel so numb

Is it something to do with where I come from

Should this be fight or flight

I don't know why I'm constantly reeling

Helpless hysteria

A false sense of urgency

Trapped in my phobia

Possessed by anxiety

RunTry to hide

Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

Helpless hysteria

A false sense of urgency

Trapped in my phobia

Possessed by anxiety

Run Try to hide

Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

Robots 3 Humans 0 by Norma Jean

Open that door;
I’ll follow you into that space
Where nothing is regretted then forgotten
Where is that grace that carries me out?
So strange it’s mine

It’s closed and locked but If you open that door,
it won’t be yesterday when, before the days of collapsing,
And I’ll stand through all these lines just to make it back to you

Can you help me every step of the way?
We can bury that battle and bury the cause
There is nothing that I can say because I was wrong this time
Everyone knows cause they see the glare in our eyes
Careful now, don’t drown yourself in sorrow
I was the one that built that cross and weighed you down and now I’ll carry on till it’s over
…and it’s over

Prophets of War by Dream Theater

It burns deep down inside of me
We have ourselves to blame
Not questioning, accepted as the truth

Debate this fight its just cause
The facts do not supports theirs
To liberate a people
And rid them of tyrant rule

Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
It's time to make a change

Intrigued
Got your attention - Deceived
Since the inception - Our brave
Fight for what reason

Compelled
Can we clean up this mess
The loss of loved ones
A perverse request
They continue the same rhetoric
These derelicts that profit
Win or lose

Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
It's time to make a change

Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change

The only thing
That I believe
Will help us see this through is faith
Pray they will forgive
Forgive our arrogance
So we can make it right
Right what they have wronged

See you sweat
Unexpected, controversial
Get used to it
Things are gonna get personal
Your sympathy
A pitiful display you stutter
Your empathy
Means nothing if there is no honor
Responsible
Of this you are incapable
We implicate
Incriminate - Exacerbate - Too much at stake

Our Fathers, Mothers
Sisters, Brothers
Sons and Daughters
Forced
Perpetuating their ideals
A mindless act
To stay the course

Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war

Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
Is it time to make a change
A change from what it's been
Can we help them break away
Is our patience wearing thin
It's time to make a change

Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change

The Heraldic Beak of the Manufactuerer's Medallion by The Sound of Animals Fighting

take it back to her
to give it a chance

this may or may not be a picture that you recognize
she did that from seeing his face
we lay before you with all the emptiness that eats your life
drop your anchor down, and stay in place

the only way I know to make you
the only way I know to make you
is to let you know that I know
send it back to her
to give it a chance
take it this time
all regrets are scared

the port has a seam ripped wide open
don't hesitate (don't hesitate) to crawl inside
spend all your time in a sound byte
and never learn to live your life

don't be held in a grip
society, intention build up
it will kill you
i confess it was me
i'm crawling backward
what it does to you, is not the news

take it back to her
to give it a chance
take a moment by
awkward moment on stage

this may or may not be a story that you recognize
she did that from seeing his face
we stand before you with all the emptiness that eats your life
drop your anchor down, and stay in place

stay in place

Anyone Can Play Guitar by Radiohead

Deessstiny, Destiny protect me from the world
Deessstiny, hold my hand protect me from the world

Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere

And if the world does turn, and if London burns
I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
I want to be in a band, when I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar
And they won't be a nothing anymore

Growwww my hair, Grow my hair I am Jim Morrison
Growwww my hair, I wannabe wannabe wannabe Jim Morrison

Here we are with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere

And if the world does turn, and if London burns
I'll be standing on a beach with my guitar
I want to be in a band, when I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar
And they won't be a nothing anymore

Airbag by Radiohead

In the next world war
In a jackknifed juggernaut
I am born again

In the neon sign
Scrolling up and down
I am born again

In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe

In a deep deep sleep of the innocent
I am born again

In a fast german car
I'm amazed that I survived
An airbag saved my life

In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe

In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe

PS: 200th Post.

Believe by Staind

I sit alone and watch the clock
Tryin to collect my thoughts
I'll I think about is you
And so I cry myseld to sleep
And hope the devil I don't meet
In the Dreams that I live through

Believe in me
I know you've waited for so long
Believe in me
Sometimes the weak become the strong
Believe in me
This life is not always what it seems
Believe in me
Cause I was made for chasing dreams

All the smiles you've had to fake
And all the bullshit you've had to take
Just to lead us here again
I never have the things to say
To make it all just go away
To make it all just disapear

Believe in me
I know you've waited for so long
Believe in me
Sometimes the weak become the strong
Believe in me
This life is not always what it seems
Believe in me
Cause I was made for chasing dreams

It's my life
It's my choice
Hear my words
Hear my voice
So just believe

I sit alone and watch the clock
Tryin to collect my thoughts
I'll I think about is you
If you believe in me
Life not always what it seems
Believe in me
Cause I was made for chasing dreams.

Believe in me
I know you've waited for so long
Believe in me
Sometimes the weak become the strong
Believe in me
This life is not always what it seems
Believe in me
Cause I was made for chasing dreams

They Say by Scars on Broadway

I walked the line, the line I choose
I see the people in front of me
I climbed the wall, the wall of news
I watched them show the tragedy

If you were me, could you defend
the given rights to all the men?
Let's fuck the world with all it's trend
They say it's all about to end...

They say it's all about to end...
They say, they say...

There's a prison that's gone, but the fear lives on
I watched you walking on the dotted line
Maybe you don't see what's in front of me
Maybe you won't stand the test of time
For we live in sin, for we will win
I watched the president kiss his family
For we live in sin, for we will win
I watched the president fuck society

If you were me, could you defend
the given rights to all the men?
Let's fuck the world with all it's trend
They say it's all about to end...

They say it's all about to end...
They say, they say...

I fall in love with the old times
I never mention my own mind
Let's fuck the world with all it's trend
Thank god, it's all about to end...

They say it's all about to end...
They say, they say...
They say, they say...
They say it's all about to end

This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about what’s forgotten
Try not to worry about what’s being missed

Scars on my shins, scars on my knuckles
Today I woke up in the basketball court
John Joe’s in Sydney and he ain’t returning
I’m sitting in Soho trying to stay drunk

In any part of the world
From Silver Lake to Williamsburg
You can pick another stranger
And fall in love

High Hopes by Pink Floyd

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our troughts strayed constandly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begin

Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The night of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfuried
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Eneumbered forever by desire and ambition
Theres a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many time

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever

Alive by P.O.D

Everyday is a new day
I'm thankful for
Every breath I take
I won't take you for granted (I won't take you for granted)
So I learn from my mistakes
It's beyond my control
Sometimes it's best to let go
Whatever happens
In this lifetime
So I trust in love (so I trust in love)
You have given me
Peace of mind

Chorus:
I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can fly (fly)

Sunshine upon my face (sunshine upon my face)
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world
How I feel inside (Tell the world how I feel inside)
Even though it might
Cost me everything
Now that I know this
So beyond, I can't hold this
I can never
Turn my back away
Now that I've seen you (Now that I've seen you)
I can neva look away

Repeat chorus

Now that I know you
(I could never
Turn my back away)
Now that I see you
(I could neva look away)
Now that I know you
(I could neva
Turn my back away)
Now that I see you
(I believe no matta
What they say!)

Elite by Deftones

When you're ripe
you'll bleed out of control
you'll bleed out of control (x4)

you like attention
it's proof to you you're alive
stop parading your angles
confused?
you'll know when you're ripe

when you're ripe
you'll bleed out of control
you'll bleed out of control (x4)

you're pregnant
with all this space
thick with honey
but I lost my taste

you're into depression
cause it matches your eyes
stop this faux to be famous
confused?
you'll know when you're ripe

When you're ripe
you'll bleed out of control
you'll bleed out of control (x4)

you're pregnant
with all this space
thick with honey
but I lost my taste

When you're ripe
you'll bleed out of control
you'll bleed out of control (x4)

you're pregnant
with all this space
thick with honey
but I lost my taste

you'll bleed out of control
you'll bleed out of control

The Dark Eternal Night by Dream Theater

No one dared to
Speak of the terrible danger
The hideous ancient warnings
Forged in the void of night
He is risen up out of the blackness chaos
The last of the prophets sinister
A sickening monstrous sight

Through the stifling heat
Underneath the pale green moon
I burned with a thirst
To seek things not yet seen
Climbing endless stairs
Leading to the choking room
Eager to explore
His most shocking mysteries

Drifting beyond all time
Out of a churning sky
Drawn to the beckoning light
Of the dark eternal night

Black forces
Rage in the vortex
Fighting
Waves of destruction
Swallowing
The echo of the universe

I am the last
Born of the blood of the pharaohs
The ultimate god of a rotting creation
Sent to unleash this curse

Restless crowds draw near
Nameless hooded forms appear
Amidst fallen ruins
Grotesque creatures battle
Shadowed on a screen
Yellow evil faces leer
Vacant monuments
Corpses of dead worlds left behind

Drifting beyond all time
Out of a churning sky
Drawn to the beckoning light
Of the dark eternal night

Trapped in a hellish dream
Spinning past worlds unseen
And frightfully vanishing
Into the dark eternal night

Drifting beyond all time
Out of a churning sky
Drawn to the beckoning light
Of the dark eternal night

Trapped in a hellish dream
Spinning past worlds unseen
And frightfully vanishing
Into the dark eternal night

Unsung by Helmet

Your contribution left unnoticed some
Association with an image
Just credit time for showing up again
Attention wandered Im left with it

Gone by sin too slowly
Cant pass it up
Then I thought nothing is right
I turned it off

To die unsung would really bring you down
Although wet eyes would never suit you
Walk through no archetypal suicide
Die young is far too boring these days

Your will to speak clearly
Exposed too much
Unsung once too often
Could not rub off

Desperate Times, Desperate Measures by Underoath

I've been crawling around around in the dark for a while
Spread out across the floor, Not Collecting dust anymore
Define me a parasite, Define my host
Trapped beneath the floor, I slowly waste away
I pull my frail Body into a chair, and look me in the face
I'm disappointed, so disappointed

This will be my last one, it's gonna be good and hard
It might be a touch out of key, a touch out of key
When this thing breaks, I will be you, you will be me
I'll pray that this is really happening
When this thing breaks, I will be you, you will be me
Let's hope this is short lived and riddled with disease
Oh god the Noise

This ringing in my ear, It's so unclear, so unclear
I hear them talking, but can't make out the words
Speak up, Speak clear
I hear them talking, but can't make out the words
Speak up, Speak clear
Where have I been, What terrible company,
With zero apologies
My God, where have I been, Where have I been

When I sink to the bottom,
I'll Sing out as it fills with water
I hope I've done enough
When this thing breaks, I will be you, you will be me
Let's hope this is short lived and riddled with disease
When this thing breaks, I will be you, you will be me
We'll pray that this is really happening

I'm worn out, I'm Worn thin, I will never break through
I'm worn out, (Where Have I been) I'm Worn thin,
(Where Have I Been) I will never break through (Where Have I been)
Let Me Out, Let Me Out, Let Me Out

Stop the Dams by Gorillaz

When you're smoking tin-foil in the morning
It's gonna be a cold day
When you're keeping everything inside you
It can only hurt you

Unrelated sounds
The sun will shine again
You hold it in your hands

This land is a young land let it stay that way
It's pollution only turns it to
Something you don't wanna see ever grow up
The reflection of the bad you receive

And you are all messed up
And the sun won't shine again
So maybe you're in love
With aluminium

The cling and a clang
It's the metal in my head when I walk
I hear a sort of - this tinging noise
Cling clang, the cling clang
So many things happen while walking

The metal in my head kind of clinks as I walk
Freaks my balance out
So the natural thought
It's just clogged up total clogged up
And I need to unplug these dams and make the natural flow

It sort of freaks me out,
We need to unplug the dams,
You cannot stop the natural flow of thought,
With a cling and a clang.

Wake me up again until
We're aluminium
You hold it in your hand
The sun will shine again
The sun will shine again

Shadows and Regrets by Yellowcard

I'm back, back in town
and everything has changed
I feel, feel let down
the faces stayed the same
I see, see shadows
of who we used to be
And I drive, drive these roads
through this memory

And we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go from the rest

I heard, heard myself
say things I take back
If I could, could retell
and make these stories last
I see, see shadows
of who you'll always be
I drive, drive these roads
made of memories

And we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go from the rest
Shadows and regrets
Let go from the rest

Everything has changed
Faces stayed the same
Everything has changed
Faces stayed the same

And we were only kids
We were best of friends
time couldn't end
The world in my hands
And we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go from the rest
And shadows and regrets
We let go of the rest
Shadows and Regrets
We let go of the rest
