Songs and You

[Lee]

I think it was Rayne who originally made this post, but I cant find it anywhere, so I'll start a new one.

What song(s) lyrics describe you best?
Have you ever listened to a song and thought, 'this was wrote for me?' I have.
I have 2 songs below which are pretty much me...lol...

Pink - Dont Let Me Get Me

I never win 1st place
I don't support the team
I can't take direction
And my socks are never clean
Teachers dated me
My parents hated me
I was always in a fight
'Cause I can't do nothing right

Everyday I fight a war against the mirror
Can't take the person staring back at me

I'm a hazard to myself
Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
It's bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't want to be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

LA told me
You'll be a pop star
All you have to change
Is everything you are
Tired of being compared
To damn Britney Spears
She's so pretty
That just ain't me

So doctor doctor won't you please prescribe me something
A day in the life of someone else

Good Charlotte - The Young and The Hopeless

Hard days made me, hard nights shaped me
I don't know they somehow saved me
And I know I'm making something out of this life they called nothing
I take what I want
Take what I need
You say it's wrong but it's right for me
I won't look down
Won't say I'm sorry
I know that only God can judge me

And if I make it thru today will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place?
If I stubble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on or will it all just be the same

'cause, I'm young and hopeless
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast that's what they say
I'm troublesome, I've fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's me against this world and I don't care, I don't care

No one in this industry understands the life I lead
When I sing about my past it's not a gimmick not an act
These critics and these trust fund kids
Try to tell me what punk is but when I see them on the streets
They got nothing to say

And if I make it thru today will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place?
If I stubble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on or will it all just be the same

'cause, I'm young and hopeless
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast that's what they say
I'm troublesome, I've fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's me against this world and I don't care, I don't care

'cause, I'm young and hopeless
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast that's what they say
I'm troublesome, I've fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's me against this world and I don't care, I don't care

Now, yours...

Hmm I would have to say Green Day's-Basket Case, pretty much sums me up lol


Do you have the time,
To listen to me whine about nothing and everything all at once,
I am one of those,
melaudramatic fools neurotic to the bone no doubt about it,


Sometimes I Give Myself the creeps sometimes my mind plays tricks on me,
It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up,
Am I just paranoid,
I'm Just Stoned.( Not that I smoke lol so that part isn't me 🙂 )

I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams,
She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down,
I went to a whore HE said my life's a bore,
Just quit my whining cause it's bringing her down,



Grasping to control,
So I better hold on.

 

[Jacklyn]

This is mine:

Crazy by Meredith Brooks

Jump in it's fine without a lifeboat
I will give it another try
You say come back, don't go in too deep
But it's a rush to see me do it
Cause you don't dare
Even though there's nothing to it


Chorus
This town's always gonna think I'm a little crazy
Somebody's always gonna try to label me insane
Funny how I always seem to be the one who's crazy
I just wanna live, I don't wanna fit
If that makes me crazy, then I am


No way I feel like nothings goin'
My way but my future's bright
Don't have a single dollar left
Got my keys inside my car
and the high way is opening wide
You ask me where, I can't tell you
But I'm putting town the pedal tonight


Chorus

You say don't change a single thing
But your list is longer than my day
I can't help wondering
When all is said and all is done
Am I the crazy one?


I just want to live
I don't want to fit
I just want to try
I don't want to quit
If that makes me crazy, I am

 

[Shell]

Ummm for me,Avril Lavinge-Basketcase and Amy Studt-Misfit
Amy Studt:
So you think you got it all worked out
You got your hotpants on
You got your arse right out, you
Think that you are something new and special
And me and my drab-dress, we won't do at all

Spent so long tryin' to fit the prototype
I kept slippin in the heels and I never got it right
What's the use?
What's the point?
You've got the wrong girl, oh

So keep doing what you're
doing down there
Cos I'll be flying higher
Waste your own time
I don't care
Anything you can do, I can do better

All you girls
You look and flip your hair and wonder
why I'm still here, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
But, baby, that's ok
All you girls
When you look into the mirror
Tell me how do you appear, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
(Ah)
But that's ok

So you got your little groups and gangs
You got your VIP
Your member-only things
Your happy-clappys and your VC crew
And if you get in their way, they got 10 on you

And I don't wanna be in that game
Don't wanna follow the leader, no way
What's the use?
What's the point?
You've got the wrong girl

So keep doing what you're doing down there
Cos I'll be flying higher
Waste your own time
I don't care
Anything you can do, I can do better

All you girls
You look and flip your hair and wonder
why I'm still here, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
But, baby, that's ok
All you girls
When you look into the mirror
Tell me how do you appear, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
You're superficial
I'm a misfit

So what we don't look the same?
So what we don't, so what we don't
So what I don't play your game?
So what I don't, so what I don't
So what if I don't?

All you girls
You look and flip your hair and wonder
why I'm still here, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit (misfit)
But, baby, that's ok
All you girls
When you look into the mirror
Tell me how do you appear, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit (I'm a misfit)
You're superficial
I'm a misfit

All you girls
You look and flip your hair and wonder
why I'm still here, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
But, baby, that's ok
All you girls
When you look into the mirror
Tell me how do you appear, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
You're superficial
I'm a misfit

But that's ok

As much as don't like Christina Ahuilera it still doesn't change the fact that Fighter is about me..

After all you put me through
You'd think I'd despise you
But in the end I want to thank you
Because you made me that much stronger

When I, thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
I guess I, I couldn't trust
Called your bluff, time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out in shame, mmhmm

After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohhhh, ohh-yeah ah uhhhuh

Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard, you're going around
Playing the victim now
But don't, even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave

After all of the fights and the lies
Yes you wanted to harm me but that won't work anymore
Uh, no more, oh no, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
YOU-WON'T-STOP-ME

I am a fighter and I
I ain't gonna stop
There is no turning back
I've had enough

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighte

though i forget, but i, i remember
i remember, i remember
though i forget, but i, i remember
i remember, i remember

'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Oof...This is gunna take me a while...

"Somebody Help Me" by Full Blown Rose

I'm being haunted by a whisper
A chill comes over me
I've been trapped inside this moment
I'm not a victim, I'm not a freak

Free me before I slip a way
Heal me wake me from this day
Can somebody help me?

I've seen the face of my affliction of my reality
I'm being tortured by the future of things that are not yet to be
I'm being haunted by a vision
It's like the moment never comes
I feel the burden of confusion, always searching...on the run

[Chorus]

Now, I'm not a hero...no
But the weight of the world' is on my soul
These images burn my eyes
They're burning me up inside

[choruz] 2x

Scratch that...he cares for her😀😀...so,is there a song?😛

 

[Shell]

Magui-Lol...should be (lol) I'll look for one

 

[mire]

i'm on a more serius/introspective fase, so this 2, make me remind me thinks that happeded, i guess they can describe a litlle..

Bush, letting the cables sleep:

You in the dark
You in the pain
You on the run
Living a hell
Living your ghost
Living your end
Never seem to get in the place that I belong
Don't wanna lose the time
Lose the time to come

Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way

You in the sea
On a decline
Breaking the waves
Watching the lights go down
Letting the cables sleep

Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
We'll wrap the world around it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way

I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town

If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town

Bush- Out of This World

When we die we go into the arms of those that remember us
We are home now out of our heads out of our minds
Out of this world out of our time

Are you drowning or waving
I just want you to save me
Should we try to get along
Just try to get along

So we move we change by the speed of the choices that we make
And the barriers are all self-made
That's so retrograde

Are you drowning or waving
I just need you to save me
Should we try to get along
Try to get along

I am alive
I am awake to the trials and confusion we create
There are times when I feel we're about to break
When there's too much to say
We are home now out of our heads out of our minds
Out of this world out of this time

Out of this time
Out of this time

I"d have to say Echo by Trapt and Angel by Sara McLachlan, but I can't find the words now. Can someone put them here? My computer is going extra slow today.

I'll Missing You by Puff Daddy

Yeah... this right here (tell me why)
Goes out, to everyone, that has lost someone
That they truly loved (c'mon, check it out)


Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin on the block for dough
Notorious, they got to know that
Life ain't always what it seem to be (uh-uh)
Words can't express what you mean to me
Even though you're gone, we still a team
Through your family, I'll fulfill your dream (that's right)
In the future, can't wait to see
If you'll open up the gates for me
Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend (uh-huh)
Try to black it out, but it plays again
When it's real, feelings hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain I feel
Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living your life, after death



Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you

I miss you Big



It's kinda hard with you not around (yeah)
Know you in heaven smilin down (eheh)
Watchin us while we pray for you
Every day we pray for you
Til the day we meet again
In my heart is where I'll keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need (uh-huh) to proceed
Strength I need to believe
My thoughts Big I just can't define (can't define)
Wish I coul turn back the hands of time
Us in the six, shop for new clothes and kicks
You and me taking flicks
Makin hits, stages they receive you on
Still can't believe you're gone (can't believe you're gone)
Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living you're life, after death



Somebody tell me why



One black morning
When this life is over
I know
I'll see your face

Every night I pray, every step I take
Every move I make, every single day
Every night I pray, every step I take
Every day that passes
Every move I make, every single day
Is a day that I get closer
To seeing you again
Every night I pray, every step I take
We miss you Big... and we won't stop
Every move I make, every single day
Cause we can't stop... that's right
Every night I pray, every step I take
Every move I make, every single day
We miss you Big

It's more to do with me and my friends as where all leaving school(4wks!) and going to different college and we don't thing it will be the same..

Single by Natasha Bedingfield

Ah yeah that's right
All you single people out there
This is for you

I'm not waitin' around for a man to save me
(Cos I'm happy where I am)
Don't depend on a guy to validate me
(No no)
I don't need to be anyone's baby
(Is that so hard to understand?)
No I don't need another half to make me whole

Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't

Chorus:
This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant

I'm single
(Right now)
That's how I wanna be
I'm single
(Right now)
That's how I wanna be

Ah yeah Uh Huh that's right

Don't need to be on somebody's arm to look good
(I like who I am)
I'm not saying I don't wanna fall in love 'cos I would
I'm not gonna get hooked up just 'cos you say I should
(Can't romance on demand)
I'm gonna wait so I'm sorry if you misunderstood

Chorus

Everything in it's right time everything in it's right place
I know I'll settle down one day
But 'til then I like it this way it's my way
Eh I like it this way

Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't
'Til then I'm single

This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant

well am single so ya no..

Love the one you with by Will Young

 

[killerdwarf]

As I'm a tad older than most of you guys (and girls)...no nastys, now...I'd say this particular line from The Boss is fitting...when the song first came out I was a teen, and it had an entirely different meaning for me:

from Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen:

So you're scared and your thinkin'
That maybe we ain't that young anymore,
Well show a little faith, there's magic in the night,
You ain't a beauty but hey you're all right,
And that's all right with me

Meryl Cassie (The Tribe Soundtrack)- If we're gonna survive the dream must stay alive
I think it describes so well how I think and feel...

Look into the future, what do you see?
I really need to know now, is there a place for me?
Tell me where do we go from here?
Take me as you find me, for what I am
And when I make mistakes, please understand
And as long as I know you're near
There is nothing for me to fear
Our of the darkness, a light shines
Burning through the coldest night
And we can find a way
(together we'll make it)
With every step we take
(moving closer together)
If we're gonna survive
The dream must stay alive
Baby will you hold me, when I'm afraid
See me through the danger, till the break of day
If there's love there's a chance for me
Just believe in yourself you'll see
Out of the darkness, a light shines
Burning through the coldest night
And we can find a way
(together we'll make it)
With every step we take
(moving closer together)
If we're gonna survive
The dream must stay alive
And as long as I know you're near
There is nothing for me to fear
Out of the darkness, a light shines
Burning through the coldest night
And we can find a way
(together we'll make it)
With every step we take
(moving closer together)
If we're gonna survive
The dream must stay alive

Delta Goodrem-Born to Try

Doing everything that I believe in
Going by the rules that I've been taught
More understanding of what's around me
And protected from the walls of love
All that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try
No point in talking what you should have been
And regretting the things that went on
Life's full of mistakes, destinies and fate
Remove the clouds look at the bigger picture
And all that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try
All that you see is me
All I truly believe
All that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like
But I was born to try

Delta Goodrem-Lost Without You

I know I can be a little stubborn sometimes
A little righteous and too proud
I just want to find a way to compromise
Cos I believe that we can work things out
I thought I had all the answers never giving in
But baby since you've gone I admit that I was wrong
All I know is I'm lost without you I'm not gonna lie
How my going to be strong without you I need you by my side
If we ever say we'll never be together and we ended with goodbye don't know what
I'd do?I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way but all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day I'm lost without you
How my ever gonna get rid of these blues
Baby I'm so lonely all the time
Everywhere I go I get so confused
You're the only thing that's on my mind
Oh my beds so cold at night and I miss you more each day
Only you can make it right no I'm not too proud to say
All I know is I'm lost without you I'm not gonna lie
How my going to be strong without you I need you by my side If we ever say we'll never be together and we ended with goodbye don't know what
I'd do?I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way but all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day I'm lost without you
If I could only hold you now and make the pain just go away
Can't stop the tears from running down my face
Oh
All I know is I'm lost without you I'm not gonna lie
How my going to be strong without you I need you by my side u
If we ever say we'll never be together and we ended with goodbye don't know what
I'd do?I'm lost without you
I keep trying to find my way but all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day I'm lost without you

Delta Goodrem- This is not me

What happened?
Why didn't I listen to myself
I thought I'd know how to handle it
But I didn't
So confused
Where I stand
Do I stand alone
With each individual
This is not me
I used to be strong
Now I feel weak
This is not me
I never said it was
I didn't like it because I lost my way
This is not me
You know that it's true
And I'd be lying to you just to convince myself
This is not me
What happened?
Why didn't I speak up at the time
I thought I'd know what was going on
But I didn't
So confused where I stand
Do I stand alone
With each individual
This is not me
I used to be strong
Now I feel weak
This is not me
I never said that it was
I didn't like it because I had lost my way
This is not me
You know that it's true
And I'd be lying to you just to convince myself
This is not me
So confused where I stand
Do I stand alone
Someone tell me
Cause this is not me
If I said that it was, I didn't like it because I had lost my way
This is not me, you know that it's true
I'd be lying to you just to convince myself
This is not me

As you can all probably tell I'm a big fan of Delta Goodrem! lol. In all her songs there is something I can relate to...

I spent ages thinking and finally came up with a song which describes me best.

Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy

I'm too sexy for my love too sexy for my love
Love's going to leave me

I'm too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my shirt
So sexy it hurts
And I'm too sexy for Milan too sexy for Milan
New York and Japan

And I'm too sexy for your party
Too sexy for your party
No way I'm disco dancing
I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I do my little turn on the catwalk I'm too sexy for my car too sexy for my car
Too sexy by far
And I'm too sexy for my hat
Too sexy for my hat what do you think about that

I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I shake my little touche on the catwalk

I'm too sexy for my too sexy for my too sexy for my

'Cause I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I shake my little tush on the catwalk

I'm too sexy for my cat too sexy for my cat
Poor pussy poor pussy cat
I'm too sexy for my love too sexy for my love
Love's going to leave me
And I'm too sexy for this song

[bad_azz_slayer]

hmmmm basically any song by nirvana and i really dont want to post lyrics for all those songs lol

 

[Kindred]

I thought that I would just repost the stuff i had contributed to Rayne's thread (because I'm really lazy).

Music Soothes the Soul

Off hand, I think of Joni Mitchell's "From Both Sides Now". It doesn't have the type of music that I would typically like, I like her other stuff better... But the lyrics are amazing.

My impression is that it's about the way peoples perceptions change over time... The way we saw things as children as comparred to now are completely different- We see them from both sides of life. But despite all of our jadings and dissalusionments, we are still the same people inside.

I think that this song appeals to me, because I, like so many others, look back and although I am glad to sometimes have a better understanding of things and the intellect and thoughts to be able to question them, It was so much simpler to just accept things at face value, to be happy and not NEED to question things.

~Kindred

Also, another song that touches me is Michelle Branch's song "Goodbye To You", not the whole song, just the one line:

"it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time"

I've felt like this so many times throughout my life, there are so many things that you want to do, but at the same time, you just want to be you and be innocent and do simple things that mean nothing and everything... To do everything you've ever wanted, but being to scared to do anything.....

~Kindred

Mine is a song by good charloette or how ever 'tis spelled. Just take out all the "Dad" related lines.

Emotionless

Hey dad
I'm writing to you
not to tell you, that I still hate you
just to ask you
how you feel
and how we fell apart
how this fell apart

are you happy out there in this great wide world?
do you think about your sons?
do you miss your little girl?
when you lay your head down
how do you sleep at night?
do you even wonder if we're all right?

but we're all right
we're all right

[Chorus:]
it's been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother's heart
you broke your children for life
it's not ok,
but we're all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
I spent so many years learning how to survive
Now, I'm writing just to let you know I'm still alive

the days I spent so cold, so hungry
were full of hate
I was so angry
those scars run deep inside this tattooed body
there's things I'll take, to my grave
but I'm okay
I'm okay

[Chorus:]
it's been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother's heart
you broke your children for life
it's not ok,
but we're all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
Now, I'm writing just to let you know I'm still alive
yeah, I'm still alive

sometimes
I forgive
yeah and this time
I'll admit
that I miss you, said I miss you

[Chorus:]
it's been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother's heart
you broke your children for life
it's not ok,
but we're all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
Now, I'm writing just to let you know I'm still alive

and sometimes
I forgive
and this time
I'll admit, that I miss you, I miss you
hey dad

The song Colorblind, by the Counting Crows and to be honest, it is the only one I have ever heard. I think it is the most beautiful song ever written, because it is the only true song that makes me cry when I listen to it. When I am hurting, and thinking about my ex, and the pain in my heart can't exceed the emotions nor bring out any tears and I am going crazy on the inside and out, I listen to Colorblind so that I can be refreshed. So that I can cry and feel alive again. Everytime that lovely deep, low, melody starts off the song my eyes wander and it is like my entire soul tunes in with the music and the lyrics pose a ripple on my heart and that is how I feel. It is a sad song, but in most cases, it is the only song that can make me calm - keep me sane and nourished from the anguish in which I do not wish to seek no longer. I used to be oblivious to the rest of the world, but after hearing this song, I understand the beauty of heartbreak and the power of a shattered heart and the loneliness in which a person could stand. This song helped me reach the epitemy of my center and made me realize how beautiful I really am. That freedom is something very precious, and so is free will. That love has so many flaws and yet, we live on, we falter, but we keep going - to love again, to fall again - we survive. I am ready. I am fine. I am fine.

I am color...blind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am
taffy stuck, tongue tied
Stuttered shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am...fine
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding
I am
colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am...fine
I am.... fine
I am fine

lovefurypassionenergy - Boy Hits Car

She's like a lost flower
Growing up through a crack
In the bustling sidewalk
Moving like a river so sad
So hey, where we going?
Tell me where we've gone
Was there love and fury
Energy and passion

So **** your rules man
You step up, you'll go down fast
I've got to release all the
**** that has made up my past

So go paint your face and
Proclaim thy warrior soul
Cuz life is a brutal fight
Until we show
A shade of timelessness
For we are all distinct
And a waiting our
Transcendental release

So **** your rules man
You step up, you'll go down fast
I've got to release all the
**** that has made up my past
So go let your soul dance baby
Time to free yourself at last
Unshackle your life's spirit
Pry away from the past

Cuz it's gone

Like a lost flower growing with mad wind
Like a sad river who has no end

So **** your rules man
Cuz here comes my passion
So **** your rules man
Cuz here comes my love
So **** your rules man
Here comes pure energy
So **** your rules man
Cuz here comes my fury

So **** your rules man [4x]

So **** your rules man
You step up, you'll go down fast
I've got to release all the
**** that has made up my past
So go let your soul dance baby
Time to free yourself at last
Unshackle your life's spirit
Pry away from the past

Farther Away - Evanescence

I took their smiles and I made them mine
I sold my soul just to hide the light
And now I see what I really am
A thief ,a whore, and a liar

I run to you [fly away from this town]
Call out your name [giving up, giving in]
I see you there, [still you are] farther away

I'm numb to you
Numb and deaf and blind
You give me all but the reason why
I reach, but I feel only air and night
Not you, not love, just nothing

I tried to forget you
But without you I feel nothing
Don't leave me here by myself
I can't breathe

Bleed - Evanescence

How can I pretend that I don't see what you hide so carelessly?
I saw her bleed
You heard me breathe
And I froze inside myself and turned away
I must be dreaming

We all live
We all die
That does not begin to justify you

It's not what it seems
Not what you think
No, I must be dreaming
It's only in my mind
Not real life
No, I must be dreaming

Help, you know I've got to tell someone
Tell them what I know you've done
I fear you
But spoken fears can come true

Excuse the length.
