General Figment of the USS Imagination by United Nations

Run from the sun
Worship all the disasters
Give yourself up to be
A sacrifice to the concept of belief.

Plagues of frogs raining down.
Rivers run red, rivers run dry.
But it's a lie and a fraud and it's coming from his mouth:
It's coming down. It's coming down.
He's comatose, eyes half closed,
He's the great white hope and he's selling you a lie.
It's a prefect day, a perfect day.
But he's comatose, eyes half closed,
He's the great white hope and he's selling you a lie

Ignorance by Paramore

If I'm a bad person,
You don't like me.
I guess I'll go,
Make my own way.
It's a circle,
A mean cycle.
I can't excite you anymore.
Where's your gavel, your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me,
Well sentence me to another life.

(Chorus) Don't wanna hear your sad songs.
I don't wanna feel your pain,
When you swear it's all my fault.
Cause you know we're not the same.
Oh we're not the same,
The friends who stuck together.
We wrote our names in blood,
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good,
It's good.
You treat me just like another stranger.
Well it's nice to meet you sir.
I guess I'll go.
I best be on my way out.
Ignorance is your new best friend.

This is the best thing that could've happened.
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it.
It's not a war.
No, it's not a rapture.
I'm just a person, but you can't take it,
The same tricks that once fooled me.
They won't get you anywhere.
I'm not the same kid from your memory.
Now I can fend for myself.

(Chorus)

You treat me just like another stranger.
Well it's nice to meet you sir.
I guess I'll go.
I best be on my way out.

I'd Rather be Dead than Famous by Pierce the Veil

Call the police
This whole place is gonna burn
Come on Holly put the gun down for me
Call the police
This whole place is gonna burn
You love money and the sex in your veins
Call the police
This whole place is gonna burn
They're trying to take it from us
They're trying to take it from us
Call the police
This whole place is gonna burn
You're so pretty when you dress for the grave
Love me as you lay
Dizzy and falling your legs dangling
Although accidents happen
They happen to me
Try to forget the beginning and end
Forget the world
Without removing the glass from your lips
Call the police
This whole place is gonna burn
You love money and the sex in your veins
Call the police
This whole place is gonna burn
They're trying to take it from us
They're trying to take it from us
Call the police
This whole place is gonna burn
The sun's coming up and we're still awake
Am I the trigger of your gun
Your pretty eyes don't give me much choice but
I'll take them home
I've done some thinking of my own
And when I come home
I want to be done
Don't want to be famous no more
Leave that girl alone
My teenage heart-attack keeps talking back
Keeps talking back to her
And I can't pretend that off this balcony
We wouldn't want to jump off of it
And put an end to this
Call the police
This whole place is gonna burn
You love money and the sex in your veins
Call the police
This whole place is gonna burn
Doll up and sleep walk
Until we have some teeth marks
Narcotic sweet talk
Until we have some teeth marks
This whole place is gonna burn

With Twilight As My Guide by the Mars Volta

I'm bolted from within
from long conniving heights
the hail, it makes a special sound
that always stays into the night

She tells me I'm not capable
of what they accuse me
with no remorse I stand and say
that guilt is what I plead

My devil makes me dream
like no other mortal dreams
with a blank eye corner

The only way to see him
in the tunnel where he slept
by the longest tusk of corridors
numb below the neck

In my heart

Where he keeps them
in a vault of devil daughters

When I bend in kicking form
with twilight as my guide
in every home the ghost veins gossip
you can hear them if you try

When my quill begins to squirm
from the ashes in your urn
your deviance is anything but faithful

My devil makes me dream
like no other mortal dreams
with a blank eye corner

The only way to see him
in the tunnel where he slept
by the longest tusk of corridors
numb below the neck

In my heart

Where he keeps them
in a vault of devil daughters

Everybody
hangs like dead leaves
don't you hurt these
branches waiting

I've been watching
you fall to me
don't desert me
I'm not waiting

My devil makes me dream
like no other mortal dreams
with a blank eye corner

The only way to see him
in the tunnel where he slept
by the longest tusk of corridors
numb below the neck

In my heart

Where he keeps them
in a vault of devil daughters

Where's the Money Lebowski? by Fightstar

It's come to this, you're covered in blood
So how could you miss?
Who are we are?
Just take a seat you've lost the will to stand up on your own feet
Who are we are?
Stop believing you're precious
And just take another hit for me
Stop believing you're precious
Because I gave you all that I could give
It's come to this you're drenched in sweat
So how can you sleep?
Who are we are?
Just take a seat you've lost the will to stand up on your own feet
Who are we are?
Stop believing you're precious
And just take another hit for me

When a Jealous Man Finds a Gun by Enter Shikari

And we'll grip each other tight
In this desolate canteen
That' sells his life at a price
That I'm not prepared to pay
[to pay]
go ahead and shoot us it'll only take one bullet
Go ahead and shoot us
(x2)

In this desolate cantine
I'll sell his life at a price
But I'm not prepared to pay
[to pay]

Go ahead and shoot us it'll only take one bullet
Go ahead and shoot us
(x2)

[Bah bah bah bah bah bahh]

Get your needle out and your black cotton
And stitch us back together again
(x2)
Stitch us back together again

But that stitch it'll only last one life

Oh shit!
What a-bout the o-thers?

Zzzonked by Eneter Shikari

Mate! I'm zonked absolutely spent
I think I'm gonna give up my eyes for lent
I'll use my sockets to stock stones instead
And with an icy cold stare I'll hide bones in your bed

Mate! Please accept this invitation
So I can take you away

Cos there's a one in 40 thousand chance
Asteroid Apophis
Will collide with the earth in less that 20 years

Roll up for the knees up business
Yes yes yes ok i think we've heard quite enough from you

Instead of staring at your Stella desperately for inspiration
Belt up and quiver at your indignation
I ain't saying anything that could be construed as an apology
There's another case study of anthropology
Lets announce embargos and denounce our far foes
Ingrowing egos a syntax he knows
It's just a distance that separates us
Or are we really all ethno-centric-ally inclined?

Mate! What the fuck are you going on about?

This is a draconian law I protest
I protest
The herd is rowdy
The squad is vexed

Well, I Never.. by Drop Dead, Gorgeous

I'm in line for the murder. First come fist served
You aim for across the hall, your vision blurred
Is this what you want from me, to hear me scream?
I'll die suddenly my blood on your hands
I'll die a tragedy you'll live in fame
Here comes the last masquerade
We need a doctor baby
Don't you just love a good time? I do.

The Best of Times by Dream Theater

Remember days of yesterday
And how it flew so fast
The two score and a year we had,
I thought would always last
The summer days and west coast dreams,
I wished would never end
A young boy and his father,
Idol and best friend

I'll always remember
Those were the best of times
A lifetime together
I'll never forget

Morning shows on the radio
The case of the missing dog
Lying on the hills of ?
Watching Harold and Maude
Record shops, the stick-ball fields
My home away from home
When we weren't together
The hours on the phone

I'll always remember
Those were the best of times
I'll cherish them forever
The best of times

But then came the call
Our lives changed forever more
You can pray for a change
But prepare for the end

The fleeting winds of time
Flying through each day
All the things I should have done
But time just slipped away
Remember "seize the day"
Life goes by in the blink of an eye
There's so much left to say

These were the best of times
I'll miss these days
Your spirit led my life each day

Thank you for the inspiration
Thank you for the smiles
All the unconditional love
That carried me for miles
It carried me for miles
But most of all thank you for my life

These were the best of times
I'll miss these days
Your spirit led my life each day
My heart is bleeding bad
But I'll be okay
Your spirit guides my life each day

A Rite of Passage by Dream Theater

This is the new world order
Played upon our fears
Spreading accusations
Of radical affairs

The brotherhood of wisdom
Strength and dignity
Its rituals and secrets
Remain a mystery

Beneath the ever watchful eye
The angels of the temple fly

Turn the key walk through the gate
The great ascent to reach a higher state
A rite of passage

The final stage a sacred home
Unlock the door and lay the corner stone
A rite of passage

Men of wealth and power
Influence and fame
Philosphers and leaders
Are members of the trade

Bound by oath and honor
Like the rose and cross
An enigmatic union
Of esoteric thought

Beneath the ever watchful eye
The angels of the temple fly

Turn the key walk through the gate
The great ascent to reach a higher state
A rite of passage

The final stage a sacred home
Unlock the door and lay the corner stone
A rite of passage

Turn the key walk through the gate
The great ascent to reach a higher state
A rite of passage

The seven stars the rising sun
A perfect world a new life has begun
A rite of passage

Life is Long by David Byrne and Brian Eno

Everybody says that the living is easy
I can barely see �cause my head's in the way
Tigers walk behind me- they are to remind me that
I'm lost- but I'm not afraid

Soul to soul- A kiss and a sigh
Sawed in half- by the passage of time
Halfway home- from a window you see
Chains and bars- but I am still free

People on the outside- I remember sweet times
This old rose- is always in bloom
Everybody's happy- to be a baby daddy
Stone love- with nothing to lose

Life is long- if you give it way
So stay, don't go- �cause I'm fading away
Soul to soul- between you and me
Chain me down- but I am still free

Now I can say- those three little words
And every day- I'm dreaming a world
Soul to soul- a kiss and a sigh
Holding back- the waters outside.

Life is long- if you give it away
So stay, don't go- �cause I'm fading away
Soul to soul- between you and me
Chain me down- but I am still free

Fool Me Once by Burden of a Day

I saw the flames, feeding a poisonous strength
Worthy of fear
But as a child with four second futures, I never dreamed
That you would take me to a place that's quite like here
Say my brother, to think that I embraced in you
Say my lover, to think I thought of you my true
How do I look now, what would you have me do?
Say my lord, bring me the head of my youth
Tell me I am sleeping and this is a dream
So I can go on loving as you would have me
I wont let my rival feel the joy
I can see it all so clear
I saw the flames, feeding a poisonous strength
Worthy of fear
I am no fool, who did you think you're talking to?
My silly little one
Betray me with a kiss, who did you think your messing...
My silly little one
Tell me I am sleeping and this is a dream
So I can go on loving as you would have me
I wont let my rival feel the joy
I cant see it all so clear
I saw the flames, feeding a poisonous strength
Worthy of fear
Say my brother, I sing a thousand thanks for you
Say my lover, what I see if you only knew
How do I look now, what would you have me do?
Say my lord, you brought me the body of truth

Meridian by August Burns Red

The people who survive the sword will find favor in the desert.
[Jeremiah 31:2]
I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt.
[Jeremiah 31:4]
I am the painter making this mess a masterpiece.
I will rebuild you up again.

Old Crows by Alexisonfire

old crows ride in the mouth of the beast
sleep beneath it's tongue, cradled by it's teeth
we roam from shore to shore
From the open sky to the ocean floor
The more we move, the less we are ourselves
and when we finally stop, we change to something else

as rapid as a river flows
as frigid as the cold wind can blow
as devious as the devil's grin
our blood is cold and we've shed our skin

We are are not the kids we used to be (stop wishing for yesterday)
We are are not the kids we used to be (stop wishing for yesterday)
We are are not the kids we used to be
Oh-oh-oh
We are are not the kids we used to be (stop wishing for yesterday)

The crows are calling, seems the end is near
they're spelling out our names, yet we have no fear
oh the damage a man can do
when ambition takes over his search for the truth
Sometimes, life just gets the best of us
some things in life will get the best of us
Well,

We are are not the kids we used to be (stop wishing for yesterday)
We are are not the kids we used to be (stop wishing for yesterday)
We are are not the kids we used to be
Oh-oh-oh
We are are not the kids we used to be (stop wishing for yesterday)

wishing for yesterday

every skyline beats in my chest
somewhere between love and sadness
this is our fate, this is our test
we ride in the mouth of madness

as rapid as a river flows
as frigid as the cold wind can blow
as devious as the devil's grin
our blood is cold and we've shed our skin

We are are not the kids we used to be (stop wishing for yesterday)
We are are not the kids we used to be
Oh-oh-oh (stop wishing for yesterday)
We are are not the kids we used to be (stop wishing for yesterday)
We are are not the kids we used to be (stop wishing for yesterday)
