[MRMIdAS2k]

Does it hurt to remember
Does it help to forget
Do you know what you started
When you lit the fuse of regret

There's not a reason why you've come undone
There's nothing left to justify, this can't go on
There's nothing left inside as I walk this broken land

Cause you're living on a paper sun
Blind to all the damage done
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the tide to turn
Living on a paper sun
You can't hide and you can't run
All your dreams have come and gone
Living on a paper sun

Do you still hear 'em screamin'
And does the fear make you run
Is the anger inside of you
A gift from father to son

I don't believe in you, you've come undone
I don't believe in what you do, this can't go on
I don't believe in you as I walk this broken land

Cause you're living on a paper sun
Blind to all the damage done
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the tide to turn
Living on a paper sun
You can't hide and you can't run
All your dreams have come and gone
Living on a paper..

You will discover the way to suffer
And like no other you feed the fire

There's not a reason why you've come undone
There's nothing left to justify, this can't go on
There's nothing left inside as I walk this broken land

Cause you're living on a paper sun
Blind to all the damage done
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the tide to turn
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the night
All your dreams have come and gone

 

[leviathanmisha]

"Screaming on the inside, I am frail and withered
Cover up the wounds that I can't hide
Walls that lie between us, the saint within the sinner
I have lost the nerve but it's all right

Carry the wounded and shut your eyes
All will be forgiven, none will rise
Bury the fallen and lead the blind
I will find the lost, dead inside

Into the nothing, faded and weary
I won't leave and let you fall behind
Live for the dying, heaven, hear me
I know we can make it out alive"

The first set of lyrics is from "Into the Nothing" by Breaking Benjamin

---------------------------------------


"Rosaries left under the mattress of the memories who could bear the witness
As you slip into oblivion, use it like a weapon
Am I left to bleed waiting for the moment when you've had your fun
A loaded gun

Take away your broken misery, I don't want to waste your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me
Everything I gave is wasted, I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of

Can't resist poisoning the message
Just a narcissist trapped inside the wreckage
And the sympathy I had is gone deadened by the ceremony
Drama queen stand behind your empire as your kingdom falls all because


Take away your broken misery, I don't want to waste your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me.
Everything I gave is wasted, I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me."

The second set of lyrics comes from "End of Me" by Apocalyptica ft. Gavin Rossdale

Yeah, that's all I got.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Cold Silence has...
A tendency to..
atrophy any..
sense of compassion-Tool 'Schism'

Mostly cause it speaks the truth

I feel asleep with the lights on..
And I know that your the first one
in a long time,
that has some faith in me..-A Day To Remember 'A Song for the weekend'

That one just makes me happy.

 

[TeeBs]

Hallelujah. Jesus Christ that songs good no matter who covers it.

[MagicMouse]

This is who I am
Escapist
Paradise Seeker
Farewell, time to fly
Out of sight
Out of time
Away from all lies

A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze

Nightwish, Escapist

I like some of their other songs better, but I think it fitting for this site, don't you?

 

[teh buttpickle]

Just as he hit the ground
They lowered a tow that
Stuck in his neck to the gills
Fragments of sobriquets
riddle me this
three half eaten corneas
who hit the area

Stalk the ground
Stalk the ground

You should have seen
The curse that flew right by you
Page of concrete
Stained walks crutch in hobbled sway
Autodafe
A capulary hint of red
Only this manupod
Crescent in shape has escaped

The house half the way
Fell empty with teeth
That split both his lips
Mark these words:
One day this chalk outline will circle this city
Was he robbed of the asphalt that cushioned his face
A room colored charlatan
Hid in a safe

Stalk the ground
Stalk the ground

You should have seen
The curse that flew right by you
Page of concrete
Stain walks crutch in hobbled sway
Autodafe
A capulary hint of red
Only this manupod
Crescent in shape
Has escaped

Pull the pins
Save your grace
Mark these words
On his grave...

You should have seen
The curse that flew right by you
Page of concrete
Stain walks crutch in hobbled sway
Autodafe
A capulary hint of red
Everyone knows the last toes are
Always the coldest to go

Mars Volta - Televators

I love the mars volta. This song is the best depiction of suicide ever.

 

[bodyguarddied]

I'm the king of the world, and it's crumbling down.  All around me falls the ruins of my enemies.  
You can't control me.  Or can you not see?  You can't control me.  It's time to admit defeat.  
When I speak, you listen to me.

And all we need is a release, a reason to be and a fight in which we believe.
We are the ones who save ourselves, don't think these walls will keep us out.
Don't abandon, don't abandon what we've started.  'Cause I believe in you.  In fighting for whatever I have to.

You tremble and grow weak.  It'll take everything you have just to breathe.
You're begging, you're begging, "Let me out!"
You're begging, you're begging, plead for mercy.
You'll beg you'll beg you'll scream.  Fall to your knees.

You've failed me for the last time.  What's yours is mine.  Because I'm taking over.

And all we need is a release, a reason to be and a fight in which we believe.
We are the ones who save ourselves, don't think these walls will keep us out.
Don't abandon, don't abandon what we've started.  'Cause I believe in you.  In fighting for whatever I have to. (Don't abandon what we've started).
'Cause I believe in you, in fighting for whatever I have to.

Hounds of Anubis, The Word Alive
Just an all around great song, I've listened to it way too many times by now...

 

[Riccan]

'My name is scattered amongst those who have feared this day
I am not who you claim me to be
Do you know what you have done
This is what we've become
I sense your pathetic guilt
This is what we've become
How you underestimate the power of denial sickens me
And I reject any last apologies
This is the last time you hear my name
But forever I haunt your dreams of agony
You know my name
I am the fallen one
I am all that is evil
I am diabolical
I am the end'

Whitechapel-Messiahbolical



'How do you want us to die;
With regrets rotting away all of my success?
With longing eating away at my fulfillment?
Must every self-interested act inflict devestation on another?
Would you rather rot or be picked to pieces still alive?
How do you want us to die?

Light This City-Facing The Thousand



'To live in true freedom is to release all inhibitions
The fears of mortality must be forgotten;
No longer living for death, no longer dying to live
Existence and nonexistence coagulating
Safety found through ignorance; shackling human individuality.'

The Faceless-Akeldama



Not all of my favorites, but they are the ones I currently remember.

 

[AvsJoe]

He's climbing in your window,
He's snatchin' yo people up!
Tryin' 'a rape 'em so y'all need to:

Hide jo kids, hide jo wife,
Hide jo kids, hide jo wife,
Hide jo kids, hide jo wife,
And hide jo husband cuz they're rapin' errybody out here!

You don't have to come and confess,
We're lookin' fo you!
We goin' fi-i-ind you!
We goin' fi-i-ind you!

So you can run and tell dat,
Run and tell dat,
Run and tell dat,
Homeboy, home, home, homeboy!

 

[Eumersian]

I bought you a brand-new Ford. You said "I want a Cadillac!"
I bought you a ten-dollar dinner. You said "Thanks for the snack."
I let you live in my penthouse. You said it was just a shack.
I gave you seven children, and now you wanna give 'em back!

Blues at its finest.
High-five if you can guess which song.

Spoiler: Danger Line by Avenged Sevenfold

My 16 locked and loaded
All fear has been avoided
You say the words and my weapon is drawn
This one could be my last time
Some people call it war crime
I may be staring down a lethal site... to die

Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line

I do this for my family
My daughter loves her daddy
Too many talk down on things they don't know
With colors never faded
Reckless and unabated
They may take me but never take us all, I'll crawl

Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line

I know what you're thinking
I've been there before
So think of the times
The time we spent laughing away
So think of the times, at home.

Now I find myself in my own blood
The damage done is far beyond repair
I never put my faith in up above
But now I'm hoping someone's there

I never meant to leave this world alone
I never meant to hurt the ones who care
And all this time I thought we'd just grow old
You know, no one said it's fair
Tell my baby girl that it's alright
I've sung my last song today
Remind the Lord to leave his light on, for me
I'm free.

 

[Bullfrog1983]

I don't realy have a favourite... one of mine is by Gordon Lightfoot (Sundown):

"I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress
In a room where ya do what ya don't confess
Sundown ya better take care
If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs (x2)


She's been lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain (x2)

I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake
Sundown ya better take care
If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like i'm winnin' when i'm losin' again

I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when i'm feelin' no pain
Sundown ya better take care
If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs (x2)
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when i'm losin' again"

 

[elementsoul]

There's almost nothing worse than never being real
Strained voices crying wolf when nobody can hear
If I had a gun I'd pump your ethics full of lead
If I believed in meat I'd eat a plateful of our dead

There's merit in construction when it's done with your own hands
There's beauty in destruction, resurrection, another chance
There's a you and I in union but just an I in my beliefs
There's a crashing plane with a banner that reads everyone's naïve

A Plateful of our Dead - Protest the Hero

 

[C4N4DUCK18]

"And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down all alone
Dragged down by the stone"

Dogs by Pink Floyd.

Yes! that song has been stuck in my head for three weeks at least!

Anything written by Maynard James Keenan!

I agree with you there as well. Really good lyricist. He really makes you think and find your own meanings in his songs (not like todays sad excuse for music -_-). But I digress. not all music today is bad.

There are too many songs I can quote right now that I love, so this will have to do.

"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

Home, home again.
I like to be here when I can.
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire.
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells."

Time/Breathe(reprise)- Pink Floyd

Saw Aussie Floyd last night. Best live performance I ever saw to date!

 

[Enemy Of The State]

Spoiler: Kasabian: Club Foot

One...take control of me
You're messing with the enemy
Said its 2..it's another trick
Messin' with my mind, I wake up
Chase down an empty street
Blindly snap the broken beats
Said it's cut with a dirty trick
Its taken all these days to find ya
I tell you I want you
I tell you I need you

friends, take control of me
Stalking cross' the gallery
All these pills got to operate
The colour quits and all invade us
There he goes again
Take me to the edge again
All I got is a dirty trick
I'm chasing down the wolves to save ya

I tell you I want you
I'll tell you I need you
I... the blood ain't on my face
Just wanted you near me

I tell you I want you
I'll tell you I need you
The blood ain't on my hands

Just wanted you near me

I tell you I want you
I'll tell you I need you
The blood ain't on my hands

Just wanted you near me

Spoiler: Muse: Hyper Music

Your golden lies
Feed my role
In this forgotten space race
Under my control
Who's returned from the dead?
Who remains
(Just to spit it in your face)

You know that I don't want you
and I never did
I don't want you
and I never will

You wanted more
Than I was worth
And you think I was scared, yeah
And you needed proof
Who really cares anymore?
Who restrains?
(Just to spit it in your face)

You know that I don't love you and I never did
I don't want you and I never will
