    Mudvayne - Severed

    And we hide behind,
    Lies, anger, Hate they shoo love away,
    Build shells of ourselves outside,
    It shelters body from cold reigns of reality,

    Come on, Step out, of your rind, assemble strength, focus,

    Release and run to me you can never look back to the visions from the
    past they fade and wilt in time,
    You've got to just trust me to hold your hand through,
    Then I turn and walk away,

    Eclipse you (Cut you away),
    And bleed you strip you of your states of ain soph aur,
    Eclipse you (Cut you away),
    I spit up on my plate and I push everything away,
    From me
    And we sever all ties,
    It creates disruption midst circle of friends,
    I become the sacrifice,
    Spare your life and leave me to my misery,

    Get off the cross, and save yourself, run away

    Run now get away from me if I can get my grip I'll pull you down into
    the hell I call my head you'll never get away
    I sit down in my ugly place and build walls out of fragments from my
    past of all the people that I needed and loved that walked away,

    You've got to just trust me to hold your hand through then I'll turn
    and walk away

    I walk under the clouds of gray,
    Sphere of storms in my head,

    I'm trapped again in endless rain
    I divorce the thoughts of you I love with me,
    I divorce your innocence and my guilt,
    I divorce the lying sellout confidence,
    I'm divorcing every mother fuckin' thing
    I divorce the love bled meaningless,
    I divorce the makeshift harmony,
    I divorce the taunting acts of violence,
    I divorce the pastime of jealousy,
    I divorce control,
    I divorce the faith,
    I divorce the virtue,
    I divorce the rain,
    I divorce the excuse,
    I divorce the greed,
    I divorce the need,
    I divorce iniquity in this mother fuckin' bullshit life,
    Just want it all to go away,
    Just want to run away to die, take it, myself, my life
    Text book fucking mental, off me and pitch me in a hole

    I'll always be your shadow,
    And veil your eyes from states of ain soph aur,
    I can't be the hero anymore,
    I spit up on my plate and then I turn and walk away,
    I spit up on my plate and I disrupt the family,
    I spit up on my plate and I sever the entity,
    And I feel your warm sun on my face
    Separate .

    Eclipse you and bleed you strip you of your states of ain soph
    aur,
    I need you,
    It's always been this way, I push it all away,
    From me

    "Open Your Eyes"

    Looking back I clearly see
    What it is that's killing me
    Through the eyes of one I know
    I see a vision once let go
    I had it all

    Constantly it burdens me
    Hard to trust and can't believe
    Lost the faith and lost the love
    When the day is done

    Will they open their eyes
    And realize we are one
    On and on we stand alone
    Until our day has come
    When they open their eyes
    And realize we are one

    I love the way I feel today
    But how I know the sun will fade
    Darker days seem to be
    What will always live in me
    But still I run

    It's hard to walk this path alone
    Hard to know which way to go
    Will I ever save this day
    Will it ever change

    Will they open their eyes
    And realize we are one

    Still today we carry on
    I know our day will come
    When they open their eyes
    And realize we are one

    Will they open their eyes
    And realize we are one
    (its hard to walk this path alone
    hard to know which way to go)
    Will they open their eyes
    and realize we are one
    (lost the faith and lost the love when the day is done)

    Will they open their eyes
    And realize we are one

    Hey its your funeral mama by AoF

    The sky is blue
    the grass is brown
    My head is buried inside this helmet
    the ever present threat of parasites
    so take my hand lets get these motors running

    So you drive red and I'll drive black
    we'll see who's machine was recently serviced
    We'll slit this row of goodyear like a knife

    We dont fear we dont fear we dont fear we dont fear
    these machines
    I got the scoop I got the scoop
    and it doesnt look so good so good for you

    so you drive red and I'll drive black
    we'll see who's machine was recently serviced
    we'll cut this row of goodyear like a knife
    like a knife like a knife


    so you drive red and i'll drive black
    we'll see who's machine was recently serviced
    we'll cut this row of goodyear like a knife

    I can't find complete lyrics to my two current favorites--here they are anyway.

    "He Calls it Freedom" - Petrograd

    "Butterfly" - Stained Sunday

    And here's the one with actual lyrics--

    "Haligh, Haligh, a Lie, Haligh" - Bright Eyes

    The phone slips from a loose grip
    Words were missed then, some apology
    I didn’t want to tell you this
    No, it’s just some guy she's been hanging out with
    I don’t know, the past couple weeks I guess
    Well, thank you and hang up the phone
    Let the funeral start
    Hear the casket close
    Let’s pin split-black ribbon to your overcoat
    Well, laughter pours from under doors
    In this house, I don’t understand that sound no more
    It seems artificial, like a T.V. set

    Well, haligh, haligh, a lie, haligh
    This weight it must be satisfied
    You offer only one reply
    You know not what you do
    But you tear and tear your hair from roots
    From that same head you have twice removed now
    A lock of hair you said would prove
    Our love would never die
    Well ha ha ha

    I remember everything
    The words we spoke on freezing South Street
    And all those mornings watching you get ready for school
    You combed your hair inside that mirror
    The one you painted blue and glued with jewelry tears
    Something about those bright colors
    would always make you feel better
    But now we speak with ruined tongues
    And the words we say aren’t meant for anyone
    It’s just a mumbled sentence to a passing acquaintance
    But there was once you

    You said you hate my suffering
    And you understood
    And you’d take care of me
    You'd always be there
    Well where are you now?

    Haligh, haligh, a lie, haligh
    The plans were never finalized
    But left to hang like yarn and twine
    Dangling before my eyes
    As you tear and tear your hair from roots
    From that same head you have twice removed now
    A lock of hair you said would prove
    Our love would never die

    And I sing and sing of awful things
    The pleasure that my sadness brings
    As my fingers press onto the strings
    In yet another clumsy chord
    Haligh, haligh, an awful lie
    This weight will now be satisfied
    I'm gonna give you only one reply
    I know not who I am

    But I talk in the mirror
    To the stranger that appears
    Our conversations are circles
    Always one sided
    Nothing is clear

    Except we keep coming back
    To this meaning that I lack
    He says the choices were given
    Now you must live them
    Or just not live
    But do you want that?

    Green Day-Basket Case

    Do you have the time
    To listen to me whine
    About nothing and everything all at once?
    I am one of those
    Melodramatic 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
    Or am I just stoned?

    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
    So quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down

    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 don't know

    Grasping to control
    So I better hold on

    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
    Or am I just stoned?

    Nas' verse in "Quick To Back Down" is just sick. I love all the subliminal shots at Jay Z. :lol:

    * = Disses towards Jay Z

    @ Tempest: All of MAYH=cheating, but those are some of the best lyrics ever written IMO!

    P.S.: I see you like Megadeath! You may be pleased to hear that they and Dream Theater will probably be touring North America together B)

    As for my fav. lyrics, I love all of MAYH but I like this song a lot too:

    Opeth - To Bid You Farewell

    I am awaiting the sunrise
    Gazing modestly through the coldest morning
    Once it came you lied
    Embracing us over autumn's proud treetops

    I stand motionless
    In a parade of falling rain
    You voice I cannot hear
    As I am falling again

    Devotion eludes
    And in sadness I lumber
    In my own ashes I am standing without a soul
    She wept and whispered: "I know..."

    We walked into the night
    Am I to bid you farewell?

    Why can't you see that I try
    When every tear I shed
    Is for you?

    Baaaah! Each song's lyrics are equally important to being a whole, but it is easier to understand the entire album's mastery if you see the lyrics as a whole.

    Yes, I hope they tour here in St. Louis, I've got a friend who loves MegaDeth and who's never heard Dream Theater, hoping to break his Dream Theater cherry. :p

    EDIT: It's only rumored that they'll be touring with ***** *******.

    Is it possible to do the same thing with "Deliverance" or "Damnation"?

    EDIT: You know, the way you layed the lyrics out and whatnot. It made it seem like a story. I tried it and I fucked it up.

    I bolded the track titles, it will make more sense when you read it that way. (Prologue is merely a track title/introduction, and holds no relevance to the lyrics)



    Circle of the Tyrant and Remember Tomorrow are pretty much just extra tracks thrown in. :p

    Yeah I know, I was wondering if you could do the same thing with "Deliverance" or "Damnation", but I guess not, since they don't seem to flow together like a story.

    Blasts.

    Band : 30 Seconds To Mars
    Song : 'Buddha For Mary'

    One of the most beautiful songs ever written in my opinion. The bolded part sends chills down my spine.

    dirty magic by the offspring

    In my own simple way
    I think she wants me only
    She said, "Come over right away."
    But she's just not that way
    Her little soul is stolen
    See her put on her brand new face

    Pull the shades
    Razor blades
    You're so tragic
    I hate you so but love you more
    I'm so elastic
    The things you say
    Games you play
    Dirty magic

    I should know better than
    To think I'd reach inside her
    It's all a cloudy kind of daze
    She's not so sweet today
    She mocks me, I'm no fighter
    It all just seems like such a waste

    It's oversimplified
