Of Mice & Men - The Ballad of Tommy Clayton & The Rawdog Millionaire

We'll bring you to your knees,
You cannot see something you cannot please.
We'll bring you to your knees,
You cannot see something you cannot please.

I met a girl with predictable ways.
Open doors, yeah she's here to stay.
Come clean, just open your mind.
Shut those legs girl, it's closing time.

Oh faithful, I'm amazed to find you look that way.
Oh faithful, put away the pills come waste away with me.

You see these hospital walls are full
From the bodies of all the dead.
It's spreading around the room
Just like you, wants to be fed.

Bloody hands stop beating hearts.
Bloody hands stop beating hearts.

Bloody hands.

We'll bring you to your knees,
How can you be something you cannot see?
We'll bring you to your knees,
How can you see something you cannot please?

Black, block out the sun, blot out your eyes, pray for the ones you love.
The sun, runs from the sky, beg for your life, pray for the ones you love.

Block out the sun, we'll block out your eyes,
Pray for daylight, your time here has come,

This is the get off, I can't give up now.

Oh faithful, I'm amazed to find you look that way.
Oh faithful, put away the pills come waste away with me.
Oh faithful, I'm amazed to find you look that way.
Oh faithful, put away the pills come waste away with me.

Come waste away with me.
It's all in your head.

It's all in your head.
If you see it,
Just close those blue eyes like you mean it.

Still Alive

This was a triumph
I'm making a note here: "HUGE SUCCESS"
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture Science
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake
And the Science gets done
And you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive

I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart
And killed me and tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
So I'm GLaD I got burned
Think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive

Go ahead and leave me
I think I prefer to stay inside
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you
Maybe Black Mesa
That was a joke, haha, FAT CHANCE
Anyway, this cake is great, it's so delicious and moist

Look at me still talking when there's Science to do
When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you
I've experiments to run
There is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
I feel fantastic and I'm still alive
While you're dying I'll be still alive
And when you're dead I will be still alive
Still alive, still alive

All Along the Watchtower
Bob Dylan

“There must be some way out of here,” said the joker to the thief
“There’s too much confusion, I can’t get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth”

“No reason to get excited,” the thief, he kindly spoke
“There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we’ve been through that, and this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late”

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl

Linkin Park - Somewhere I Belong

(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I?)
What do I have but negativity
'Cause I can't justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything 'til I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

Linkin Park - What I've Done


In this farewell
There's no blood, there's no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth of a thousand lies
So let mercy come and wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself to cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
Put to rest what you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty
So let mercy come and wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself to cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done
I'll face myself to cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
What I've done
(Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na)
Forgiving what I've done
(Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na)
(Na na na na)


Note:
I chose this for a reason. Mainly because it actually helps me forget about painful things in the past. That's why I love this song.
 
To Die For - The Birthday Massacre

Tighten your tie boy.
You're something to die for.
But don't hold your breath now.
You're just killing time.
Tonight you can dream boy.
Imagine a whisper.
If you can keep secrets, then I'll tell you mine.
Remember a promise you couldn't hold on to.
Though it brings me to tears now, I need you to know.
Look in my eyes boy. Nothing like yours now.
It seems that a lifetime is passing us by.
So open your eyes.
This is forever but it won't last long.
This is a memory that fades away in neverending.
In the death of all that's long been said and done before, we'll wish that we were something more.
Stop wasting time boy.
You're late all your life boy.
They won't have the patience for someone like you.
Your memory's fading.
I'll love you forever.
I'll try to remember.
I'll try to hold on.
You're standing alone boy.
Waiting for dreams boy.
Waiting for something to make them come true.
Don't ever leave boy.
I'd miss you too much boy.
I'll never forget you, as long as I'm here.

Ivory Madonna dying in the dust
Waiting for the manna coming from the west
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes
Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies.

Skin and bones is creeping, doesn't know he's dead
Ancient eyes are peeping from his infant head
Politician's argue sharpening their knives
Drawing up their bargains, trading baby lives.

Ivory Madonna dying in the dust
Waiting for the manna coming from the west

Hear the bells are bringing, Christmas on it's way
Hear the angels singing, what is that they say?
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay
Jesus son of Mary is born again today.

Ivory Madonna dying in the dust
Waiting for the manna coming from the west
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.

How to Save a Life - The Fray

Step one, you say we need to talk
He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left, and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all, you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life

Volumes - Waves Control

**** it, why don't you just let me overdose?
I did it again, and woke up again
Tired of running from all these withdrawals, keep losing my friends
This might be my end
All of these drugs while I'm counting my ends
**** it I'm dead
**** it I'm dead inside
And now you know why

Now that I’m gone, I'm on the run
Alone in my room I look down at my gun
Picking it up, I don't want to give up but I'm stuck in this rut that I've dug and I'm ****ed
The drugs didn't help
I blame myself for the **** I've been dealt
Tell you I'm cool but I'm losing my grip
Tell you I'm good but I'm losing my ****

You didn’t want to take him to the hospital
All you really wanted was his capital
Another one lost that we cannot predict
This is a plague and we cannot pretend
Another mistake might cost you your life
When you're sticking the needle and walk towards the light

Letting go of all I've ever known
I wanna feel the wave's control tighten its grip around my throat
Crashing over me, I'm holding on

Feel the narcotics might never wake up
All of the bodies just start to pile up
And that’s when it hits you rips you perplexed
Now you are floating, it’s on to the next

Now I’m letting go, let the chemicals control
I’m holding on
Always dismissed do you get the gist?
I’m holding on
Letting go of all I’ve ever known
I wanna feel the wave’s control
Tighten its grip around my throat
You never really ever gave a ****
Always dismissed do you get the gist?

Always kneeling down
I’m an addict with a crown
Don’t you love the sound when my body hits the ground
Why don’t you just let me drown?

**** it, why don't you just let me overdose?
I did it again, and woke up again. tired of running from all these withdrawals, keep losing my friends
This might be my end
All of these drugs while I'm counting my ends
**** it I'm dead
**** it I'm dead inside
And now you know why

Ventura Highway - America

Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, Joe?
Some people say this town don't look good in snow
You don't care, I know

Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go I know

'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air

Wishin' on a falling star
Waitin' for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
Aw, come on, Joe, you can always
Change your name
Thanks a lot, son, just the same

Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go I know

'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air

"The Power Of Love"

The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling that's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night

You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go'round

And it don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don't care
But you'll know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it?
Hmmm

It don't take money and it don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won't feel nothin' till you feel
You feel the power, just feel the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love

I need a sign
to let me know you're here
'Cause my TV set
just keeps it all from being clear

I want a reason
for the way things have to be
I need a hand
to help build up some kind of hope
inside of me

When children have to play inside,
so they don't disappear
While private eyes solve marriage lies
'cause we don't talk for years

And football teams are kissing queens
and losing sight of having dreams
In a world where what we want
is only what we want until it's ours...

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything

You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're trying, you're trying now
Another year and then you'd be happy

Just one more year and then you'd be happy

But you're crying, you're crying now

Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he'll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about everything

But you know he'll always keep moving
You know he's never gonna stop moving
'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone
And when you wake up, it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
And you're going, you're going home

That’s Not How the Story Goes from A Series of Unfortunate Events

You may think that the Baudelaires
Ought to prevail
And be tucked some place
All safe and sound
Count Olaf captured
And rotting in jail
His henchpeople nowhere around

But there’s no happy endings
Not here and not now
This tale is all sorrows and woes
You dream that justice
And peace win the day
But that’s not how the story goes

You might think that two parents
Both brave and both true
Would live till a nice ripe old age
But I’m sad to say
I have bad news for you
The curtain rings down on the stage

Yes, there’s no happy endings
Not here and not now
This tale is all sorrows and woes
You might dream that justice
And peace win the day
But that’s not how the story goes

I once loved a girl
And she thought well of me
We thought we’d be happy together
But now I’m alone
As you can well see
And she’s cold in her grave forever

There’s no happy endings
Not here and not now
This tale is all sorrows and woes
You might dream that justice
And peace win the day
But that’s not how the story goes

The world is pair
Of ill-fitting pants
And other dire hideous clothes
You may think that three children
Would lead pleasant lives
But that’s not how the story goes

Some people smile
At the end of the day
Some people laugh, I suppose
But to me there’s nothing
But gloom and despair
That’s just how the story goes

That’s just how the story--

If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never

All the people are dancing and they’re having such fun
I wish it could happen to me

But if you close the door
I’d never have to see the day again

If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the wine glass out
And drink a toast to never

Oh someday I know
Someone will look into my eyes and say
“Hello, you’re my very special one”
But if you close the door
I’d never have to see the day again

Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars
And the people on subways and trains
Looking grey in the rain as they stand disarrayed
Oh but people look well in the dark

And if you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never

Oh the people are dancing and they’re having such fun
I wish it could happen to me

But if you close the door
I’d never have to see the day again
I’d never have to see the day again
Once more
I’d never have to see the day again
