Dead Memories - Slipknot

Sitting in the dark, I can't forget
Even now, I realize the time I'll never get
Another story of the bitter pills of fate
I can't go back again, I can't go back again
-
But you asked me to love you and I did
Traded my emotions for a contract to commit
And when I got away I only got so far
The other me is dead
-
I hear his voice inside my head
And we were never alive
And we won't be born again
But I'll never survive
With dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart

You told me to love you and I did
Tied my soul into a knot and got me to submit
So when I got away I only kept my scars
The other me is gone
-
Now I don't know where I belong
And we were never alive
And we won't be born again
But I'll never survive
With dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart



Dead visions in your name
Dead fingers in my veins

Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart
Dead memories in my heart

Elton John - Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters (Part 2)

I used to think that New York City
Fell from grace with God
And innocence abroad
Waged a war for the underdog
When the snow falls
And Central Park looks like a Christmas card
I just looked beyond the bagman
And the madness that makes this city hard

I heard a basketball
Somewhere out beyond a chain link fence
Inner city prisoners
Argue for the right of self-defense
But there's a fast break
And every work of art wakes something in the soul
Just focus on the brush strokes
And the bouquets that the dancers hold

Spanish Harlem still sounds good to me
Yeah Mona Lisa's getting older
Standing in the shadow of Miss Liberty
While I walk along the west side
Down through Little Italy
Searching for the city
That took away the kid in me

Spanish Harlem still sounds good to me
Yeah Mona Lisa's getting older
Standing in the shadow of Miss Liberty
While I walk along the west side
Down through Little Italy
Searching for the city
That took away the kid in me

Spanish Harlem still sounds good to me
Yeah Mona Lisa's getting older
Standing in the shadow of Miss Liberty
While I walk along the west side
Down through Little Italy
Searching for the city
That took away the kid in me

Some Time Alone, Alone - Melody's Echo Chamber

We resigned the light to someone and handed to the writest,
We will walk until the right ocean.
Some time alone, alone to wonder, change your mind and on
Waiting around,
While everyone else is moving on and on, and on.

Empty heart, it's not the same at all,
Turn around and I'm losing my mind.

Baby, you're the one, the one at least until tomorrow, surprise,
We should join orion and leave me down,
Under the wall, look through your eyes, we never compromised,
Used to be walking until the dawn and on, and on until the dawn.

Empty heart, some time alone, alone,
Turn around and I'm losing my mind.
Empty heart, it's not the same at all,
Turn around and I'm losing my mind.
 
perfect for valentines day

The Arsonist - New Years Day

Embers that have drifted away
Long lost memories are fading
Ashes cover lonely graves
Where you left me to die

How does it feel to take a life away?
You turned your back on me so easily

You set me on fire, my only home
I let you inside and you watched me burn
You criminal, criminal
It started with a spark, and ended in flames

Nothing here that comforts me
Where I was so complete

I still can't believe you could mean so much to me
Are you feeling guilty for throwing the match
Or for spilling the gasoline?
And when the smoke had cleared
how quickly you disappeared

You set me on fire, my only home
I let you inside and you watched me burn
You criminal, criminal
It started with a spark, and ended in flames

A tragedy that ends in never speaking your name
You're nothing but a ghost to me

Ashes cover lonely graves
Where you left me to die

You set me on fire, my only home
I let you inside and you watched me burn
You criminal, criminal
It started with a spark, and ended in flames

I let you inside, I let you inside

Blue October - Fear

All my life
Been running from a pain in me
A feeling I don't understand
Holding me down.

So rain on me
Underwater
All I am, getting harder
A heavy weight
I carry around.

Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage consume me,
My shadow see through me

'Cause fear in itself
Will reel you in and spit you out
Over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk
Now fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
like you were never enough
Yeah, I used to fall, now I get back up.

I'm up here
I'm looking at the way down there
And I'm staring through the I don't care
That's staring back at me

The beauty is
I'm learning how to face my beast
Starting now to find some peace
And Set myself free, yeh

Today,
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage consume me,
My shadow see through me

'Cause fear in itself
Will reel you in
And spit you out over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk
Now fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
Like you were never enough
Yeah, I used to fall but now I get back up

I'm moving on
Oh god, just move on

Today,
I don't have to fall apart
And I don't have to be afraid....
Get back up
Get up, up

Fear, fear in itself can use you up
And t breaks you down like you're
Never enough
Yeah, I used to fall...

Breathe,
Ask for more
If you're bitter still
Ask Him to help you carry on.

HIM - Vampire Heart

You can't escape the wrath of my heart
Beating to your funeral song (You're so alone)
All faith is lost for hell regained
And love dust in the hands of shame (Just be brave)

Let me bleed you this song of my heart deformed
And lead you along this path in the dark
Where I belong until I feel your warmth

Hold me
Like you held onto life
When all fears came alive and entombed me
Love me
Like you loved the sun
Scorching the blood in my VAMPIRE HEART

I'll be the thorns in every rose
You've been sent by hope (You'll grow cold)
I am the nightmare waking you up
From the dream of a dream of love (Just like before)

Let me weep you this poem as Heaven's gates close
And paint you my soul, scarred and alone
Waiting for your kiss to take me back home

Hold me
Like you held onto life
When all fears came alive and entombed me
Love me
Like you loved the sun
Scorching the blood in my VAMPIRE HEART

Hold me
Like you held onto life
When all fears came alive and entombed me
Love me
Like you loved the sun
Scorching the blood in my vampire heart

Hold me (Like you held onto life)
Like you held onto life
(When all fears came alive and entombed me)
My vampire heart

Love me (Like you loved the sun)
Like you loved the sun
(Scorching the blood in my)
My vampire heart

I'm impressed by their lyrics, and Ville Valo's voice sounds terrific.​

Dreams - The Cranberries

Oh, my life is changing everyday,

In every possible way.
And oh, my dreams, it's never quite as it seems,
Never quite as it seems.

I know I've felt like this before, but now I'm feeling it even more,
Because it came from you.
And then I open up and see the person falling here is me,
A different way to be.

Ah, la da ah...
La...

I want more impossible to ignore,
Impossible to ignore.
And they'll come true, impossible not to do,
Impossible not to do.

And now I tell you openly, you have my heart so don't hurt me.
You're what I couldn't find.
A totally amazing mind, so understanding and so kind;
You're everything to me.

Oh, my life,
Is changing every day,
In every possible way.

And oh, my dreams,
It's never quite as it seems,
'Cause you're a dream to me,
Dream to me.

Ah, da, da da da, da, la...

Completley forgot about this thread! Guess I'll just use the song that's stuck in my head...

All Hail Shadow - Crush 40
All hail Shadow
Heroes rise again
Obliterating everything that's not your friend
Nothing can stop you now
No ghosts to bring you down
When there's nothing left to lose
You win!

Bow your heads low,
All hail Shadow
Bow your heads low,
All hail Shadow

Suffer long and it will set you free!
Only through trial do we find the strength we need!
It's never over just another day
Of hope and tragedy, everything that comes our way!

Determination of the strong,
Found the meaning that we searched for so long!

All hail Shadow
Heroes rise again
Obliterating everything that's not your friend
Nothing can stop you now
No ghosts to bring you down
When there's nothing left to lose
You win!

Bow your heads low,
All hail Shadow
Bow your heads low,
All hail Shadow

Somewhere in chaos we all find ourselves!
This destruction is the only tale we tell
White is black, and black is white
Right is wrong, and wrong is right!
Nothing ever fills this hole inside your heart

Determination of the strong,
Found the meaning that we searched for so long!

All hail Shadow
Heroes rise again
Obliterating everything that's not your friend
Nothing can stop you now
No ghosts to bring you down
When there's nothing left to lose
You win!

Bow your heads low,
All hail Shadow
Bow your heads low,
All hail Shadow

All hail Shadow
Heroes rise again
Obliterating everything that's not your friend
Nothing can stop you now
No ghosts to bring you down
When there's nothing left to lose
You win!

Bow your heads low,
All hail Shadow
Bow your heads low,
All hail Shadow

Elton John - Weight Of The World

I'm weary and I'm staying up late
And the rain hits my roof so hard
You know I'm no longer thirty
These days I'm happy to play
One or two hands of cards
I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing
Disturbing the peace I've found
Fortune and fame is so fleeting
These days I'm happy to say
I'm amazed that I'm still around

And the weight of the world is off my back
When we fell, we got up
And crawled out the cracks
Excuse me if I take some comfort in that
Happy today, happy to play
With the weight of the world off my back

Humidity hangs like a curtain
Oh, it fogs up my glasses sometimes
You know I've still got my eyesight
These days I'm happy to see
A sunset instead of a line

And the weight of the world is off my back
When we fell, we got up
And crawled out the cracks
Excuse me if I take some comfort in that
Happy today, happy to play
With the weight of the world off my back

There's a long list of names
That I don't recall
Even though my memory's good
The rain washed away
The lemons and weeds
When the weight of the world weighed more than it should

I hate flies in the kitchen buzzing
Disturbing the peace I've found
Fortune and fame is so fleeting
These days I'm happy to say
I'm amazed that I'm still around

And the weight of the world is off my back
When we fell, we got up
And crawled out the cracks
Excuse me if I take some comfort in that
Happy today, happy to play
With the weight of the world off my back

Happy today, happy to play
With the weight of the world off my back

Across the Line - Linkin Park

In this desert, in darkness,
Lying with the gun across his chest,
Pretending he's heartless,
As the fire flashes in the sky.
-
He was fragile and frozen
When the bullet took away his friend,
And now he's somehow more broken.

He's pulling his weapon to his side,
Loading it full of his goodbyes,
Holding an enemy across the line.
He's pulling his weapon to his side,
Loading it full of his goodbyes,
Holding an enemy across the line.

Sweating and shaking,
Lying with her hands across her chest
She wakes with her cravings
As the fire flashes in her eye
-
She was fragile and frozen
When the needle took away her friend,
And now she's somehow more broken.

She's pulling her weapon to her side,
Loading it full of her goodbyes,
Holding an enemy across the line.
She's pulling her weapon to her side,
Loading it full of her goodbyes,
Holding an enemy across the line.
-
With every battle he's choosing,
With every fight he's losing,
His enemy's not far behind.
With every promise she's broken,
With every lie she's spoken,
Her enemy's not far behind.

It's your time.
It's your time.
It's your time.
It's - your - TIME!

He's pulling his weapon to his side,
Loading it full of his goodbyes,
Holding an enemy across the line.
She's pulling her weapon to her side,
Loading it full of her goodbyes,

This one's for Tanner.

Just - Radiohead

Can't get the stink off
He's been hanging 'round for days
Comes like a comet
Suckered you, but not your friends
One day he'll get to you
And teach you how to be a holy cow

You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is you do it to yourself, just you
You and no one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself

Don't get my sympathy
Hanging out the 15th floor
You've changed the locks three times
He still come reeling through the door
One day I'll get to you
And teach you how to get to purest hell

You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
You do it to yourself, just you
You and no one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself

You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is you do it to yourself, just you
You and no one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
Yourself
 
Rolling Stones – Wild Horses

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exit or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

I know I've dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away

Wild, wild horses we'll ride them some day

Jello Biafra with D.O.A. - Full Metal Jackoff

Around our nation's capital
There's a freeway 8 lanes wide
White concrete ringed around the city
For those who want inside
Get on get off
Ignore everything to the sides
In your midst I drive
While homeboys in the back of the van make drugs

Wanna hide something like a crack lab
Just put it in plain sight
Only stop to refuel and unload
More poison to tear more lives apart
Gang wars like never before
Better lock your doors, buy some guns
And pray for martial law

On the Washington D.C. Beltway
Around and around I go
In the black van with no windows
And a chimney puffing smoke
Bloody headlines in the news each day
Drug "crisis" everywhere
So much comes in so easy
It's as though someone wants it there

It would be a little obvious
To fence off all the slums
Hand out machine guns
To the poor in the projects
And watch 'em kill each other off
A more subtle genocide is when
The only hope for the young
Is to join the Army or slowly die
Wall Street or Crack Dealer Avenue
The last roads left to the American Dream

Wall Street or Crack Dealer Avenue
Wall Street or Crack Dealer Avenue
Only on road leads to this neighborhood
Little kids wanna sell drugs when they grow up

The folks might get just a little upset
If they knew where that dope comes from
From Columbia to the Contras
To our Air Force bases, where we trade it for guns
The moral equivalent of a serial killer
And his CIA friends
Call the shots from the White House
But now that we own the media too
Those stories just aren't run

On the Washington D.C. Beltway, 'round and 'round I go
In a black van with no windows, and a chimney puffing smoke
Some gang that ran smack in Viet Nam
Ain't got no reason to fear
Just get a Vice President so dumb
The crook at the top never gets impeached

That sure was easy wasn't it?
That sure was easy wasn't it?
More crack-more panic-moe cops-more jails

You see emergency-total war
You see emergency-total war
You see a black face-you see a crackhead
You see a black face-you see a crackhead
You see a black face-you see Willie Horton with a knife
You see Willie Horton with a knife

You see one Willie Horton you've seen them all
They're everywhere, I know
You asked for it, you've got it
Drug suspects have no rights at all
Property seized and sold before trial
Labor camps-on American soil!?
Neo-Nazi bootboys
That the cops never seem to arrest
Prowl neighborhoods with baseball bats
Why now? Why do they get so much press...?

Mein Kampf the mini series
Ollie North-"patriotic" hero
The leader for tomorrow is yours today
Finally gotcha psyched for a police state

On the Washington D.C. Beltway
Around and around I go
In a black van with no windows
And a chimney puffing smoke
My van's a mobile oven now
That burns the bodies you never see
Just like in Chile or Guatemala
People just seem to disappear

Just like Rome
We fell asleep when we got spoiled
Ignore human rights in the rest of the world
Ya might as well lose your own

As the noose of narco-militarism
Tightens 'round your necks

We worry about burning flags
And pee in jars at work
To keep our jobs

But if someone came for you one night
And dragged you away
Do you really think your neighbors
Would even care?

Ollie for president, he'll get things done!
Ollie for president, he'll get things done!
Ollie for president, he'll get things done!

Girls and Boys - Blur

Street's like a jungle
So call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece
On holiday
Love in the 90's
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances looking for

[Chorus]
Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love

Avoiding all work
Because there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
Get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schön
But we haven't been introduced

[Chorus]
Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love

Jim Croce - Time In A Bottle

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do, once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty, except for the memory of how
They were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do, once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with
