Emergency Broadcast :: The End Is Near by Underoath

At the end of it all
We will be sold for parts
We will try to rebuild
But we ate it all away
All ambitions now run dry
Someone stop this thing turn it off
In search of new life
Nothing will be left to walk this earth again
Turn it off...
Our hopes and dreams
Will be swallowed alive
We always said it wouldn't end up like this
We will be the new ice age
We will be the new plague
Disguised as a colony
We will wpe them all away
Feast your eyes
Or just rip 'em out
This is it for us
It's time to panic
We always said it wouldn't end
It woudn't end up like this
We are the cancer
We are the virus
Tell me it's not too late

I'm Yours by Jason Mraz

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment, maybe sing with me
All - ah peaceful melody
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Scooch on closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
Please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This is out fate, I'm yours

Hero of War by Rise Against

He said, “Son,
Have you see the world?
Well, what would you say
If I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you’ll even get paid.”
I said, “That sounds pretty good.”

Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends
As we learned how to fight

A hero of war
Yeah that’s what I’ll be
And when I come home
They’ll be damn proud of me
I’ll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it’s flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

I kicked in the door
I yelled my commands
The children, they cried
But I got my man
We took him away
A bag over his face
From his family and his friends

They took off his clothes
They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop
But then I joined in
We beat him with guns
And batons not just once
But again and again

A hero of war
Yeah that’s what I’ll be
And when I come home
They’ll be damn proud of me
I’ll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it’s flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

She walked through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop
I begged her to stay
But she pressed on
So I lifted my gun
And I fired away

The shells jumped through the smoke
And into the sand
That the blood now had soaked
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
A flag white as snow

A hero of war
Is that what the see
Just medals and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it’s a flag that I love
It’s the only flag I trust

Ebb by Lounge Piranha

Sugar sweet with a taste of bitter couldn’t ask for more.
I asked for rain and she gave me winter- seen it all before.
And it comes back undelivered – and it feels like last December
Remembering tasting clean
Ugly me – silver ring

And it fades away, And it fades away, And it floats away, And it ebbs away.
Off center – cant find my mark
Just outside the ring
Off beat – just out of tune, when will I be king?
Don’t think about it now, you’ll only make it worse
This head on your shoulder - thinks straight – its SUCH a curse.

And it fades away, and it fades away, and it floats away, and it ebbs away

A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash

My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue."

Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue."

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue."

Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do!
Now your gonna die!!"

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.

And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."

He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Sue.'"

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!

Back Together by Citizen Cope

I've Been stuck in the middle of a
Vendetta between
Me and myself
I sure could use a witness
But I just ain’t found one yet

I sent a message in a bottle
Took another swallow
I heard it didn't get there
I heard that it had missed you
but this is what it said

Today the things are going my way
I'm back together again
I'm staring in the mirror
and it's been so long
Since I've seen you my friend

Today the things they goin' my way
I'm back together again
I'm staring in the mirror
and it's been so long
Since I've seen you my friend

Yea, yea
Whoo Whoo Whoo, (repeat)

Cheap women cheap wine
Cheap money cheap time
These things do not exist
But what makes that temptation
Just so hard to resist

That stolen Picasso
That rests above your head
I wish that you could hear me
This is what I said

Today the things they goin' my way
I'm back together again
I'm staring in the mirror
and it's been so long
Since I've seen you my friend

Today the things they goin' my way
I'm back together again
I'm staring in the mirror
and it's been so long
Since I've seen you my friend

Yea yea
Whoo Whoo Whoo, (repeat)

We Still Kill the Old way by Lostprophets

So here we go again
Another time, but it feels the same
Got sick of waiting here
Set sail on concrete waves
No survivors left to save
Too late for the walking dead

We'll make it on our own
Breathing our own air
Cuz no one else will care
No one really knows
Need more room to shout
Time is runnin out
But even through your doubts
We will still be here
We will still be here!

See it all, I see it all
Still kill, still kill the old way
I'm gonna die before I fall
Don't try to sink me

You and I doin different things
People hide but I see their face
One that's full of hate
Their apathy's not affecting us
Maybe they ride on a different bus
Realize that we'll never change

We'll make it on our own
Breathing our own air
Cuz no one else will care
No one really knows
Need more room to shout
Time is runnin out
But even through your doubts
We will still be here
We will still be here!

See it all, I see it all
Still kill, still kill the old way
I'm gonna die before I fall
Just try to sink me

Oh-oh last time I'll fold
Oh-oh this is the last time I'll fold

See it all, I've seen it all
Still kill, still kill the old way
I'm gonna die before I fall
No one's savin me

Scared of Myself by Simon Dawes

May I never become unloved by you
May you never have to know my shadows by the name
You're my heroine and you're a rose in my tea
May I never become unloved by you.

May I always be on my way to you
May I never have to meet the man I'd be alone
I'm your criminal and you're my only friend
May I always be on my way to you.

Cause I'm scared, scared of myself
Oh, I'm scared, scared of myself
Oh, I'm scared, scared of myself without you.

I have found a way to watch over you
I have found a way to face the burden of my dreams
they are crooked but they're,well they're all I have
I have found a way to watch over you.

Yes, I'm scared scared of myself
Oh, I'm scared, scared of myself
Oh, I'm scared, scared of myself without you.

Cause I'm scared, scared of myself without you.
Without you.

Dead Memories by Slipknot

Sitting in the dark,
I can't forget.
Even now,
I realize the time
I'll never get.
Another story
Of the Bitter Pills of Fate.
I can't go back again.
I can't go back again
But you asked me
To love you and I did.
Traded my emotions
For a contract to commit.
And when I got away,
I only got so far.
The Other Me Is Dead.
I hear his voice inside my head
We were never alive,
And we won't be born again.
But I'll never survive
With Dead Memories in my heart.
You told me to love you
And I did.
Tied my soul into a knot
And got me to submit.
So when I got away,
I only kept my scars.
The Other Me Is Gone.
Now I don't know where I belong
We were never alive,
And we won't be born again.
But I'll never survive
With Dead Memories in my heart.
Dead Visions in your Name.
Dead Fingers in my Veins.
Dead Memories in my Heart

Re-Reducation (Through Labour) by Rise Against

To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines
We toss and turn but don't sleep
Each breath we take makes us thieves
Like causes without rebels
Just talk but promise nothing else

We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
Though sometimes dreams just don't come true
We wait to reap what we are due

To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away
And the blare of the sirens combing the streets
Chased down like dogs we run from
Your grasp until the sun comes up

We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
Though sometimes dreams just don't come true
Look now at what they've done to you

White needles buried in the red
The engine roars and then it gives
But never dies
'Cuz we don't live
We just survive
On the scraps that you throw away

I won't crawl on my knees for you
I won't believe the lies that hide the truth
I won't sweat one more drop for you
'Cuz we are the rust upon your gears
We are the insects in your ears
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl... all over you

We sow the seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are due
Under this sky no longer blue,
We bring a dawn long overdue
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl... all over you

Maladjusted by Himsa

Nothing satisfies,
nothing will cause it wont get a chance to.
Altered spirit
and altered mind take a turn for the worst soon.
Fear has struck,
fear is stuck
MALADJUSTED
Assurance wont
sit well at all cause no one is trusted
Youve got what you wanted
the reason you came
control action control of the game
See through the happiness,
see through the sappiness
Seen through the front
that obscures all the truth
and see ugliness, torture,
torture and ugliness - -
selfishness lost in a quagmire of human filth
Fear has struck,
fear is stuck
MALADJUSTED
Fear that rules a twisted fuck

The Backwards Pumpkin Song by Dance Gavin Dance

Sit down, call off the cavalry
I'm stealing the jewels
In a slow motion action replay
Bar fight, I invented chivalry
Notch in my bed post
Slow motion action replay.
Sit down, call off the cavalry
I'm stealing the jewels
In a slow motion action replay
Bar fight, I invented chivalry
Notch in my bed post
Slow motion action replay.

Now the fog is rolling in
Bringing us that much closer to a senseless end
Oh please don't get up
I'll get that for you.
It's selfish to say I'll believe when
I believe in all these lies
It's been long enough

Don't just lay on the ground, son
Don't just drown in the fountain
And I don't know you, I don't know you
You got stuck preaching action
I fell down using tact, son
And I don't know you, I don't know you

Don't just lay on the ground, son
Don't just drown in the fountain
And I don't know you, I don't know you
You got stuck preaching action
I fell down using tact, son
And I don't know you, I don't know you

Bring back this fight tonight
For all of these lies that I uphold (Don't mind them they can't elope)
For one good note (Leave them off of the great big boat)
Bring back this fight tonight
For all of these lies that I uphold (Don't mind them they can't elope)
For one false hope (Leave them off of the great big boat)
One false hope

Go on and fix your tie
And just lead the line out
Needless to say
I stumble, you play
All night long

Fix your tie and just lead the line out, needless to say

Bring back this fight tonight
For all of these lies that I uphold (Don't mind them they can't elope)
For one good note (Leave them off of the great big boat)
Bring back this fight tonight
For all of these lies that I uphold (Don't mind them they can't elope)
For one false hope (Leave them off of the great big boat)

Now you'll find as I rewind, now you'll find it's not the point


One Love

Watch Over You by Alter Bridge

Leaves are on the ground
Fall has come
Blue skies turning grey
Like my love

I tried to carry you
And make you whole
But it was never enough
I must go

[Chorus:]
Who is gonna save you
When I'm gone?
And who'll watch over you
When I'm gone?

You say you care for me
But hide it well
How can you love someone
And not yourself?

[Chorus]

And when I'm gone
Who will break your fall?
Who will you blame?

I can't go on
And let you lose it all
It's more than I can take
Who'll ease your pain?
Ease your pain

[Chorus:]
And Love is gonna save you
When I'm gone.
And I'll watch over you.
And I will give you strength
When you're not strong.
Who'll watch over you,
When I've gone away?

Snow is on the ground
Winters come
You long to hear my voice
But I'm long gone

Nothing Remains by Chimaira

I shout these words
To those who never listened
I pen this letter with the utmost conviction
It's been dark in here
Cold and relentless
It's been too long
I can no longer fight this
Too late to change my mind
Nothing remains
I've silenced the pain

All these years passed
No one heard my true feelings
You continued to act like you knew me
Did you ever stop to think that I'd be able
To look in your eyes and say that I'm stable?
Too late to change my mind
Nothing remains
I've silenced the pain

Don't tell me, that I am taking the easy way out
Don't tell me, that I am taking the easy way out

NO

No underlying message to figure out
What you got from me is what I put out

No one knew a thing about me
Just longing to be accepted
Wait 'til you see what I've become

My lifelessness

Too late to change my mind


Nothing remains
I've silenced the pain


NOTHING REMAINS!

Duality by Bayside

Some days
I get crazed
I don't know why it's so irrelevant
I'll take deep breaths
And keep control, go on.

I've tried brave
And you've tried to save
I'm proud to keep it bottled up
I think I past my prime and lost my mind and I'm torn.

No telling what tomorrow holds.
Who let, who let this feeling die, when all I did was try?
Who let, you let this feeling die,
I can't get you out of my head, my head.
You're the flame that burns me so I know that I'm still alive.

Some say
It's all fate
but I say we control our lives
And if my destiny should outbest me then that's fine.
I make believe thrill and apathy co-exist in me fairly equally
The truth is doubts are all I've got to call mine.

No telling what tomorrow holds.
No telling what voice takes control.
Who let, who let this feeling die, when all I did was try?
Who let, you let this feeling die,
I can't get you out of my head, my head.
You're the flame that burns me so I know that I'm still alive.

Is there anybody out there (anybody out there)
Is anybody calling (anybody calling)
What if what I say is really wrong?
Is there anybody out there (anybody out there)
Is anybody calling (anybody calling)
What if what you say is really wrong?
I'm not in control, I think I'm out of control

Who let, who let this feeling die, when all I did was try?
Who let, you let this feeling die,
I can't get you out of my head, my head.
You're the flame that burns me so I know that I'm still alive.

In Transit (For You) by Matchbook Romance

Dream baby for me
I'll be waiting here for you
Pack your things, fly to me
Scatter me across the sky
I'll shine all night
And just like a star
I'll fall for you

Baby if you want me to
I'd do anything for you
Just say the words and I'd give you the world
Yeah, but that's not good enough

Starlit sea will be our dance floor
And birds will sing our song
And your scars, your scars will heal
For You

Baby if you want me to
I'd do anything for you
And just say the words, and I'd give you the world
Yeah, but that's not good enough

And Baby if you wanted me to, why not say so
Let me go cause I cant shine bright enough for you

I shine for you

I fall
Dream baby for me
I'll be waiting here for you

Our Truth by Lacuna Coil

Clock is ticking while I’m killing time
Spinning all around
Nothing else that you can do
To turn it back

Wicked partnership
In this crime
Ripping off the best
Condescending smile

Trying to forget
- Wasting my time
We’re falling right through
Lying to forget
- Telling more lies
We’re raising our truth

Go on and tease me

Clock is ticking while I’m stealing time
Can’t you turn it back?
Stop the cycle
Let it free
Run away

Silent Sneaking
Along my Path
Rugged the Road
But we feel it
Like we’re flying

Trying to Forget
- Wasting my time
We’re falling right through
Lying to forget
- Telling more lies
We’re raising our truth
