While thieves and malingerers listened I begged her to stay
Then woke up to find I'd been bleeding again

Sing Me To Sleep
I`m tired and I want to go to bed
I am a poor freezingly cold soul
So far from where
I intended to go
Scavenging through life`s very constant lulls
So far from where I`m determined to go

"Mad World" by Tears for Fears (covered by Gary Jules)

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... world

paper rival - a fox in the garden.


I know what i did
cause if you're my friend
ive lied to you this far

im no one to trust
ive got a brand new pen
and i drink too much

there i was like a holy lantern
i was held up bright but
i was held up battered
you know, you know, you know ill burn out soon

there you were like sunday mass
all the boring little hymns that'll never pass
you know, you know, you know...

dont go to bed in the garden
ive been throwing apples away
when no ones awake

there i was like the devils mouth
with a terrible lie that i want to announce
you know, you know, you know ill burn out soon

there you were like a broken lamb
you're eyes, they shut not to open again until
you know, you know that i've burnt through

dont go to bed in the garden
ive been throwing apples away
when no ones awake
dont make your bed in the garden
ill be planting flowers all may ay ay

"someone here has seen the culprit!"
someone here has found me out
"someone here has seen the culprit!!!!"
"no one here is getting out!!!!!!"

dont go to bed in the garden
ive been throwing apples away
when no ones awake
dont make your bed in the garden
ill be planting flowers all may

until my pitchfork breaks
until my pitchfork breaks
until my pitchfork breaks

Deadstar Assembly~"Breathe For Me"

Listen to
Listen to me
I need you
A disaster's waiting to happen
These are the things I can't see through
When I'm saddened

It's not me
It's not me
Just give me some room to breathe
Or breathe for me
Breathe for me

Is this what it's about
I've reached for the strength to hold out
I'm leaving
The tears keep burning my eyes
And I have lost the strength to keep this alive

It's not me
It's not me
Just give me some room to breathe
Or breathe for me
Breathe for me
Breathe for me

I can't explain what I feel
But I know it's for real
Don't let me go back down

It's not me
It's not me
Just give me some room to breathe
Or breathe for me
Its not me
Its not me
Just give me some room to breathe
Or breathe for me
Or breathe for me
We come in pieces. :pinkstar:

Quasimodo - Lifehouse

You can be right and I'll be real
Honesty won't be a pain that you will ahve to feel
Cus I don't need your approval to find my worth

Trapped inside of my own mind
Afraid to opem my eyes because of what i'd find
And I don't wanna live like this anymore

I've been watching I waited bided my time
Bit off my fingernails and sharpened my scythe
So that when you brought your harvest home I could gather mine

I filled the chapel from the vault to the weathervane
With bribes and promises and candles all day
But smiling sweetly still you sent me on my way

Day and night
I toss and turn, I keep stressing my mind, mind
I look for peace but see I don't attain
What I need for keeps this silly game we play, play
Now look at this
Madness to magnet keeps attracting me, me
I try to run but see I'm not that fast
I think I'm first but surely finish last, last

Shimmer - Fuel

She calls me from the cold, just when I was low feeling short of stable
All that she intends, all she keeps inside isn't on the label
She says she's ashamed and can she take me for a walk
And can I be a friend, we'el forget the past but mabey I'm not able
And I break at the bend

We're here and now, but will we ever be again
Cus I ahve found all that shimmers in this world is sure to fade away again

Tiger Army


There is a rose in the Devil's garden
In shadow it grows alone
Many things are dangerous now
In this garden we call home

Be careful as you make your way
Some things are poison to the touch
You've spent your life here in this place
You long to run away so much


My love it is a black rose (my love it is a black rose)
Held out to you by the hand of fate (held by the hand of fate now)
And as this dark romance grows...
It's not from the sun, but the starlight that's so far away
Above the Devil's garden

The fertile soil of poisoned hearts
Fed by tears and nighttime rain
Under Transylvanian moon
Grows the flower bred from pain

Death is pure - life is not
So ask yourself, what do you want?
As for me, well I want you
So pick the black rose and let its thorns cut you

**SU**


Sentenced: "May Today Become the Day"

Rain drums the lifeless ground
Drops as cold as ice
The dawn's breaking
The trench are shaking

The fire hits us all around
and the siren cries
Forward, forward we go into attack!

May today become the day
As I plunge into the grey
Lead is flying
All the signs are there
They all think that I'm brave
The strongest link of our chain
But really I've gotta say that ain't how it's like

Closing in, not slowing down
iron, fire, blood
our line's breaking and death is taking
our men from all around
Into the pools of mud
Forward, forward, there is no turning back!

May today become the day
As I plunge into the grey
Lead is flying
All the signs are there
They all think that I'm brave
The strongest link of our chain
But really I've gotta say that ain't how it's like

The fallback calling as our soldiers keep falling
No, forward, forward! I am not turning back!
May today become the day
As I plunge into the grey
Lead is flying
All the signs are there
They all think that I'm brave
The strongest link of our chain
But really I... just want a bullet between my eyes
aim high
We come in pieces. :pinkstar:

Wilco - How to Fight Lonliness


How to fight lonliness,
Smile all the time,
Shine your teeth 'til meaningless,
Sharpen them with lies,
And whatever's going down,
Will follow you around,
That's how you fight lonliness,
You laugh at every joke,
Drag your blanket blindly,
Fill your heart with smoke,
And the first thing that you want,
Will be the last thing you ever need,
That's how you fight it,
Just smile all the time

Second Chance - Shindown

My eyes are open wide
By the way I made it through the day
*
I just saw Hayley's comet, she waved
Said why you always running in place
Even the man in the moon dissaperared
Somwehere in the stratosphere
*
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance.

on repeat i'm listening to U2 - one step closer.
it's amazing.

I'm 'round the corner from anything that's real
I'm across the road from hope
I'm under a bridge in a rip tide
That's taken everything I call my own

One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
Knowing, knowing

I'm on an island at a busy intersection
I can't go forward, I can't turn back
Can't see the future
It's getting away from me
I just watch the tail lights glowing


One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
Knowing, knowing

I'm hanging out to dry
With my old clothes
Finger still red with the prick of an old rose
Well the heart that hurts
Is a heart that beats
Can you hear the drummer slowing?

One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
To knowing, to knowing, to knowing

city and colour - silver and gold/new song.


Last night I dreamt that they dropped a bomb
Oh the sea ran dry and the winds had calmed
Skyscrapers fell, they all turned to dust,
Their skeletons of steel were covered in rust

And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared

Colours were drained straight from the sky
And nothing living had survived
The mountains were merely removed from the earth
Silver and gold had lost all its worth

And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared

I woke from the dream in a cold, cold sweat
I was full of doubt and deep regret,
Suddenly it was so clear to me;
There was nothing left in which to believe

And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared

Because I'm selfish enough to wanna get better
But I'm backwards enough not to take any steps to get there
And when you realize it's a pattern & not a phase
It's what you've become & it's what you will stay
That's ballgame


'Cause I don't got room in my life for anyone else
And I've driven away all the people that could help
And I still don't even know what I need to do to fix myself

There's a clamp around my chest
That tightens every time I lapse into
Another sorry story about my miserable collapse
A bronze box I keep encased in glass
And dust off whenever I want your pity


'Cause lately I've had to come to grips with scope and figure
How my problems stack up in a world two steps from ruin
(Or maybe it's rapture)

Well, either way, I realize that my shit's about as small as it could be
But that makes me feel worse for even feeling this bad in the first place

Restless Heart Syndrome

I’ve got a really bad disease
It’s got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
‘Cause something seems to be missing

Somebody take the pain away
It’s like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
So send me to the pharmacy
So I can lose my memory

I’m elated, medicated
Lord knows I've tried to find a way
To run away

I think they found another cure
For broken hearts and feeling insecure
You’d be surprised what I endure
What makes you feel so self-assured?

I need to find a place to hide
You never know what could be waiting outside
The accidents that you could find
It’s like some kind of suicide

So what ails you is what impales you
I feel like I’ve been crucified
To be satisfied

I’m a victim of my symptom
I am my own worst enemy
You’re a victim of your symptom
You are your own worst enemy
Know your enemy

I’m elated, medicated
I am my own worst enemy
So what ails you is what impales you
You are your own worst enemy

You’re a victim of the system
You are your own worst enemy
You’re a victim of the system
You are your own worst enemy
-Green Day
