Dream Theater - The Ministry Of Lost Souls from "Systematic Chaos" The water's edge Is where she waits Lost souls still wandering Meant to die But she's stuck not crossing over The other side Is where he waits His spirit reaching out Meant to save But she's too scared to take his hand Living in a world without you (Drowning in the past) Is living in no world at all So now I call on you... Remember me? I gave you life You would not take it Your suffering was all in vain It's almost over now Don't turn your back on paradise Feeling scared, she's prepared To give up everything She can't stand to feel Like half of her is fading He will choose the only way To rid her of her pain Take her soul now The decision has been made Living in a world without love (A burden to my soul) Is living in a worthless world So I will call on you... Remember me? I gave you life You would not take it Your suffering was all in vain It's almost over Remember me? You were so young How could I tell you? Remember me? I am the one Who saved your life that night I was the one who would not abandon you Even in death I was the one who would not leave you I used my freedom to protect you And all the while direct you Do you remember me this time? Even in death I gave you life I gave you life! I wanted to Deserve a place A place beside you This time when I reached out my hand It reached all the way to heaven Remember me? I gave you life You would not take it Your suffering was all in vain It's almost over now Goodbye It's almost over now Goodbye It's time I release you from this life Don't turn your back on paradise

Protest the Hero - "Turn Soonest to the Sea" Do you remember how it was when you bled? When you loved and burned in those flames that you've kept Because Vesta's long been sleeping Now you've come to accept that anatomy defines more than a few of the gaping holes in our social fabric And it defines more than a few one night stands, more than a few prison bars melted into wedding bands We've made you all the peasants and we've made ourselves the kings Our queens are still subordinate as an angel {without wings} But we make it easy to belong which means it's easy to be wrong "Put some plastic in your tits, you'd look better as a blonde" I remember when you were hopeful never thought your life would be lived inside a coffin With a moral sacrifice and a million social obligations, labels and expectations When you were young and a modern seventeen in vogue and vague pursuit of a cosmopolitan dream So when you bled on the bed as you fed those expectations as a whore and not a human You embraced with hesitation the very parameters of all you can be Not a mother, not an aunt, not a sister that's not subdued Because dignity is not physical and your flesh means more than you Your flesh means more than you; your flesh means more than you Your flesh means more than... and I know.... Know we'll all wake up one day with a gun to the back of our brains You'll be asking for your rib and I'll smile and I'll call you brave Maybe someday when, when this bloody skull has dried {I'll} know our city is in ruins When our greatest source of pride {is} a monument of dicks and ribs and the gender crown we wore Where underneath, a plaque will read, a plaque will read, "No woman is a whore" This song FTW.

"All The Same" by Sick Puppies I don't mind where you come from As long as you come to me But I don't like illusions I cant see Them clearly I don't care, no I wouldn't dare To fix the twist in you You've shown me eventually what you'll do I don't mind I don't care As long as you're here Go ahead and tell me you'll leave again You'll just come back running Holding your scarred heart in hand It's all the same And I'll take you for who you are If you take me for everything And do it all over again It's all the same Hours slide and days go by Till you decide to come But in-between it always seems too long Suddenly But I have the skill, yeah I have the will, to breath you in while I can However long you stay is all that I am I don't mind, I don't care As long as you're here Go ahead and tell me you'll leave again You'll just come back running Holding your scarred heart in hand It's all the same And I'll take you for who you are If you take me for everything And do it all over again It's always the same Wrong or Right Black or White If I close my eyes Its all the same In my life The compromise I'll close my eyes Its all the same Go ahead say it You're leaving You'll just come back running Holding your scarred heart in hand It's all the same And I'll take you for who you are now If you take me for everything Do it all over again It's all the same
Slipknot - "Snuff" All Hope Is Gone Bury all your secrets in my skin Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins The air around me still feels like a cage And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again… So if you love me, let me go. And run away before I know. My heart is just too dark to care. I can’t destroy what isn’t there. Deliver me into my Fate - If I’m alone I cannot hate I don’t deserve to have you… My smile was taken long ago / If I can change I hope I never know I still press your letters to my lips And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss I couldn’t face a life without your light But all of that was ripped apart… when you refused to fight So save your breath, I will not hear. I think I made it very clear. You couldn’t hate enough to love. Is that supposed to be enough? I only wish you weren’t my friend. Then I could hurt you in the end. I never claimed to be a Saint… My own was banished long ago / It took the Death of Hope to let you go So Break Yourself Against My Stones And Spit Your Pity In My Soul You Never Needed Any Help You Sold Me Out To Save Yourself And I Won’t Listen To Your Shame You Ran Away - You’re All The Same Angels Lie To Keep Control… My Love Was Punished Long Ago If You Still Care, Don’t Ever Let Me Know If you still care, don’t ever let me know…
On a Green Day binge tonight: Dear mother, Can you hear me whining? It's been three whole weeks Since that I have left your home This sudden fear has left me trembling Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own And I'm feeling so alone Pay attention to the cracked streets And the broken homes Some call it the slums Some call it nice I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home Welcome To Paradise A gunshot rings out at the station Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own It makes me wonder why I'm still here For some strange reason it's now Feeling like my home And I'm never gonna go Pay attention to the cracked streets And the broken homes Some call it slums Some call it nice I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home Welcome To Paradise Dear mother, Can you hear me laughing It's been six whole months since Since that I have left your home It makes me wonder why I'm still here For some strange reason it's now Feeling like my home And I'm never gonna go Pay attention to the cracked streets And the broken homes Some call it the slums Some call it nice I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home Welcome To Paradise
I saw them in 1994, the first concert I ever went to, and I haven't managed to see them since, I either find out too late about tickets, or I didn't have the money, or I was pregnant. I want to see them again so badly. I want to be the minority I don't need your authority Down with the moral majority 'Cause I want to be the minority I pledge allegiance to the underworld One nation under dog There of which I stand alone A face in the crowd Unsung, against the mold Without a doubt Singled out The only way I know I want to be the minority I don't need your authority Down with the moral majority 'Cause I want to be the minority Stepped out of the line Like a sheep runs from the herd Marching out of time To my own beat now The only way I know One light, one mind Flashing in the dark Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts "For crying out loud" she screamed unto me A free for all F*** 'em all You are your own sight I want to be the minority I don't need your authority Down with the moral majority 'Cause I want to be the minority
Saosin - Why Can't You See If we've got something going tell me, why is he here? You leave me hangin by a thread when the lion is near! I'm not about to try and fall You really cannot say Why can't you see with my hands holding your eyes open! And it's hard for me to think when your mouth is always moving. (It's so quiet now, just be quiet) (Just be quiet now) You could have been all I wanted and all I need But you had to leave cause it's so easy to fall in love with machines I'm not about to try and fall You really cannot say Why can't you see with my hands holding your eyes open! And it's hard for me to think when your mouth is always moving. Jump up and down, find your way out, just leave me alone You can't make me believe that you have changed at all. Go away, no please stay Go away, no stay....stay away. Go away, no please stay Go away, no stay...stay. Why can't you see with my hands holding your eyes open! And it's hard for me to think when your mouth is always moving. Jump up and down, find your way out, just leave me alone You can't make me believe that you have changed at all.
Mayday Parade "I'd Hate To Be You When People Find Out What This Song Is About" A Lesson in Romantics (Fearless, 2007) And we both go down together We'd stay there forever Just try to get up And I'm sorry, this wasn't easy When I asked you, "Believe me?"

Placebo - Meds. I was alone, Falling free, Trying my best not to forget What happened to us, What happened to me, What happened as I let it slip. I was confused by the powers that be, Forgetting names and places. Passers by were looking at me As if they could erase it Baby did you forget to take your meds? Baby did you forget to take your meds? I was alone, Staring over the ledge, Trying my best not to forget All manner of joy All manner of glee And our one heroic pledge How it mattered to us, How it mattered to me, And the consequences I was confused, By the birds and the bees Forgetting if I meant it Baby did you forget to take your meds? Baby did you forget to take your meds? Baby did you forget to take your meds? Baby did you forget to take your meds? And the sex and the drugs and the complications And the sex and the drugs and the complications And the sex and the drugs and the complications And the sex and the drugs and the complications Baby did you forget to take your meds?

Creed: One Last Breath Please come now I think I'm falling I'm holding to all I think is safe It seems I found the road to nowhere And I'm trying to escape I yelled back when I heard thunder But I'm down to one last breath And with it let me say Let me say Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking That maybe six feet Ain't so far down I'm looking down now that it's over Reflecting on all of my mistakes I thought I found the road to somewhere Somewhere in His grace I cried out heaven save me But I'm down to one last breath And with it let me say Let me say Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking That maybe six feet Ain't so far down Sad eyes follow me But I still believe there's something left for me So please come stay with me 'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me For you and me For you and me Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Breaking Benjamin - Dance With The Devil Here I stand, helpless and left for dead. Close your eyes, so many days go by. Easy to find what's wrong, harder to find what's right. I believe in you, I can show you that. I can see right through all your empty lies. I won't stay long, in this world so wrong. Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight. Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with the devil tonight. Trembling, crawling across my skin. Feeling your cold dead eyes, stealing the life of mine. I believe in you, I can show you that. I can see right through all your empty lies. I won't last long, in this world so wrong. Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight. Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with the devil tonight. Hold on. Hold on. Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight. Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with the devil tonight. Hold on. Hold on. Goodbye.
Brightwood - Dreamer To A Dream I've never been one for chase, but for you I caved. Memories that paint your face in shades of red and laughter. I've been called a dreamer, desperate for sleep. You have been that dream. The kind I shut my eyes to keep. I'm in love again, in the worst kind of way. Oh my heart is racing, my voice is shaking at the thought of you. I didn't ask for this, I did not want it. What do you suggest between head and heart when feeling is the strongest. I've been called a dreamer, desperate for sleep. You have been that dream, the kind that takes me in too deep. And I'm in love again, in the worst kind of way. Oh my heart is racing, my voice is shaking with the thought of you. You've always been the one. I've never had the nerve to say it. You're all I dream. The moment I'm feeling courageous, you always leave me tongue tied. And now it's too late because you're far gone. Wish I could say I tried. And I'm in love again, in the worst kind of way. Oh my heart is racing, my voice is shaking at the thought of you
