Intensity in Ten Cities by Chiodos

I'm not the one that you want, I'll only let you down.
And I'm pretty sure that you've caught on.
And you can say that 'Oh, I'm just feeling sorry for my...'

I think it's every time I walk into a room
a silence so sudden that I seem to hear it
(Smiles turn to frowns)
Contact saying that you are the rain on their parade.

And how long could you hang on to a word?
Tell me, how long could you hang on to a word?

I'm not the one that you want, I'll only let you down.
And I'm pretty sure that you've caught on.
And you can say that 'Oh, I'm just feeling sorry for myself'

Or maybe it's all eyes on him
in love with ego and intention
the eyes that are just begging me for more.
This is gone and I can see it
your head is full of words,
full of words that don't mean anything.

And how long could you hang on to a word?
Tell me, how long could you hang on to a word?

I'm not the one that you want, I'll always let you down.
And I'm pretty sure that you've caught on.
And you can say that 'Oh, I'm just feeling sorry for myself'

I'm not the one that you want, I'll always let you down.
And I'm pretty sure that you've caught on.
And you can say that 'Oh, I'm just feeling sorry for myself'
(If that's how you feel, then what's there to do?
I'll keep this feeling in my heart
but when you look in my eyes, you will know the truth.)

Faithless by City and Colour

Please believe in what I say
Cause' I'm running out of ways to convey
This lack of faith in myself
That's becoming my own personal health

Vicious settles in
My bones feel like they're breaking through my skin
Well God damn you
You're feeding on my loneliness
What an awful way to live
What a way to live

Get me out of this place
Cause' I'm stuck in a rut
And I cannot
My lungs are filling up with dust
I feel bruised and broken with no one left to trust

Vicious settles in
My bones feel like they're breaking through my skin
Well God damn you
You're feeding on my loneliness
But I will not let you win
I won't let you win

Furtive Monologue by Despised Icon

This in audible voice has flattered my ears
An unreal sound of distress, a sensation that aroused my being
This moment was all yours but the pleasure was all mine
All the weight I've been carrying vanished for a valuable instant

One day when this curtain will fall
Masks will be shattered

Your eyes silently scream astonishing grief
The satisfaction I devour is not retribution
Your sorrow's my devotion
I'll be rewarded with your degradation
Nourished by bitter passions,
My hunger for human deprivation will be quenched
No retribution
Your sorrow's my devotion

A furtive monologue

This unspoiled opus wasn't meant to persist eternally
Masks and disguises returned to their relevant closets
This theatrical masquerade will be lead
to its irrevocable ending

One day or another,
One day when this curtain will fall
Masks will be shattered

An Absurd and Unrealistic Dream of Peace by Thursday

From the fields of the burning wheat
to the corners of the black arcades
we hold our hopes like cigarettes
then we leave them dying in the grass
the road is running out
we've seen it over our shoulder
With everything thing we (did??)
fields of flowers
(barbed wired??) towers
they're in recession
with everything we (said??)
freedom faded
like voices ringing
I feel it drifting away
when you raise your head
and you fall down to your knees
while you wait for Him
we're running fast as we can
down the street with no end

last night I had a dream
we were floating in the sea
with flags all around
but now the colours have washed out
they were not innocent or free
and your bombers ride in the shotgun sky
they all turned into lights
spread like stars across the trembling black night
they're calling you now
make a sign of the southern cross

and I will follow you
tears of wonder
rolling thunder off in the distance
with everything we did
freedom faded
like voices ringing
I feel it drifting away

while you raise your head
and you fall down to your knees
do you feel ashamed?
we're running fast as we can
down the street with no end

take me home
keep running as fast as you can
because there's no place to turn
on the street with no end
bombs blast and bells ringing
flags flying and we all keep on marching to heaven
find out we all fall down again.

Your Song by Elton John

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

Tiny Dancer by Elton John

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Time Flies by Puddle of Mudd

Aint much time left in my life
I'm all stressed out time to fly
Im on my way
Im on my way
I cant let go
I cant wake up
Time flies...
Flies...

One more step and im falling off the mountain
One more pill who cares nobodys counting
They told me to sing it to the birds
Sing it to the birds
Noones listening
One more step and im falling off the mountain
The mountain sang to me
Love...
The mountain sang to me
Love...

Sitting up on this little bitty hill
Will i make something out of myself?
Sitting up on this little bitty hill
Will i make something out of myself?

I can't let go
I can't wake up

Time flies...
Time flies...

Yeah

Time flies...
Yeah (dont you know)
Time flies...

Aint much time left in my life
I'm all strung out time to fly
Im on my way
Im on my way
I cant let go
I cant wake up
Time flies...
(dont you know time flies)
Flies...
Yeah
Time flies...
Yeah
Flies...
Yeah

Human by The Killers

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart...
Cut the cord

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well..
You've got to let me go

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer

You've got to let me know

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Drilled a Wire Through My Cheek by Blue October

I try to stay on top of you
To hold your body down
Your shaking seems to hinder
Every grasp that I had found
Moving every inch around you
to diffuse your private bomb
I stretch my self surrounding
And protecting you from harm

I use a wallet for your mouth
So when you bite you will not bleed
I drilled a wire through my cheek
And let it down and out my sleeve
And now you’re pulling out the best of me
Yeah which never ever comes
This wire is all that’s left of me
And its hooked within my gums, within my gums

Chorus
So drill it, so drill it, so hard i feel it (so hard)…it’s Okay now x2

I hate to show I'd bleed for this
I cut myself to shame
To get to know who this masochist
Who’s stolen my first name
Pretending he’s a teacher
Holding all my weight at ease
But the teacher seems to split in two
Destroying both his knees
and now crawling I position myself
Below your broken wings
I lift your feathered left arm
Where you hide your heart from me
I never noticed it was swollen
With a touch of brutal pain
I never knew a heart could live inside
The rust from all your rain, all your rain

Chorus

I didn't think to bring a washcloth
Or to rub away the dirt
Myself & I we share
This barely beating heart of hurt
and when the hurt comes there’s an argument
A fight to save a smile
A small attack on human tears
To dry them for a while
A dream we all should count on
Yeah a vision I believe
And where confidence is found
Attached to wires on a sleeve
And where loneliness is history
Told to pack his shit and leave
And when guidance is a fortune
Told to help in time of need
And where crying isn’t secret
It’s the art of how we grieve
And lessons are the key
To every goal I will achieve, I will achieve

In This River by Black Label Society

Society by Eddie Vedder

Oh it's a mystery to me.
We have a greed, with which we have agreed...
and you think you have to want more than you need...
until you have it all, you won't be free.

Society, you're a crazy breed.
I hope you're not lonely, without me.

When you want more than you have, you think you need...
and when you think more then you want, your thoughts begin to bleed.
I think I need to find a bigger place...
cause when you have more than you think, you need more space.

Society, you're a crazy breed.
I hope you're not lonely, without me.
Society, crazy indeed...
I hope you're not lonely, without me.

There's those thinkin' more or less, less is more,
but if less is more, how you keepin' score?
It means for every point you make, your level drops.
Kinda like you're startin' from the top...
and you can't do that.

Society, you're a crazy breed.
I hope you're not lonely, without me.
Society, crazy indeed...
I hope you're not lonely, without me
Society, have mercy on me.
I hope you're not angry, if I disagree.
Society, crazy indeed.
I hope you're not lonely...
without me.

Common Reactor by Silversun Pickups

It's the common reactor
It's the long way out
It's the stream of a motion blur
That swirls around til you drown

But I couldn't put it down

It's the colorless picture
In a heart shaped frame
The silhouette of a dough eyed girl
Who at one point had a name

But I couldn't put it down
No I couldn't put it down

Let's break the window panes
And separate the walls from all the nails
Cuz maybe if we're loud we'll stay alive
While everybody wants to join the fight
But now it's too late

Brush away all the memories
Keep the cries curbside
I'll be ashing on the images
That have all been caught inside

But i couldn't put it down
No i couldn't put it down
No i couldn't put it down

Let's break the window panes
And separate the walls from all the nails
Cuz maybe if we're loud we'll stay alive
While everybody wants to join the fight
Cut even if we barricade the door and seal it with the
Blood found on the floor
We're always going to cross the finish line
While everybody wants to run and hide
But now it's too late

She Had the World by Panic at the Disco

She held the world upon a string
But she didn't ever hold me
She spun the stars on her fingernails
But it never made her happy
'Cause she couldn't ever have me
She said she'd won the world at a carnival
But she couldn't ever win me
'Cause she couldn't ever catch me

I, I know why
Because when I look in her eyes
I just see the sky
When I look in her eyes
Well I, just see the sky

I don’t love you I'm just passing the time
You could love me if I knew how to lie
But who could love me?
I am out of my mind
Throwing a line out to sea
To see if I can catch a dream

The sun was always in her eyes
She didn't even see me
But that girl had so much love
She'd wanna kiss you all the time
Yeah, she'd wanna kiss you all the time

She said she won the world at a carnival
But I'm sure it didn’t ruin her
I just made her more interesting
I'm sure I didn't ruin her
Just made her more interesting

I, I know why
Because when I look in her eyes
I just see the sky
When I look in her eyes
Well I, just see the sky

I don’t love you I'm just passing the time
You could love me if I knew how to lie
But who could love me?
I am out of my mind
Throwing a line out to sea
To see if I can catch a dream

A Kiss to Send Us Off by Incubus

Meet me here
On November 11th, come alone
Bring your mouth
And selective irreverence
We'll both see stars, just

ONE!
MORE!
Tongue!
Kiss before the sky falls
Out
From
This cloud we're hovering on
To send us off

A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!

Kill your doubt
With the coldest of weapons
Confidence
No more words, OOooooooooo
Just the sound of resplendent
Tongues colliding

ONE!
MORE!
Tongue!
Kiss before the sky falls
Out
From
This cloud we're hovering on
To send us off

A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off
A kiss to send us off!

Here I am, there you are
On a wire connecting our hearts
Theres a string, and it's tied, to a kite
Theres a storm, in the sky
Now the clouds become electric
There you are, here I am
Could I
Have!

Breathing In a New Mentality by Underoath

I'm the desperate
And you're the savior
There's been something else
Talkin' in my ear
Someone save me
When I Speak It begins to decay
I'm not about to bury myself
Oh, God! My hands are shaking again
Calm down! Now I can't feel the floor
And my vision takes it's toll on me

Oh, God! It's racing through my veins
I'm afraid there must be some kinda mistake
Oh, I'm in over my head again
reach in and grab a hold of me
I'm so scared that I've started to slip
They say that I'll never change
I'll prove them wrong
It's over
I hear the calling but its passing through
Clean me up show me how to live
Tear me down
Let me start again
