ATREYU LYRICS - My Sanity On The Funeral Pyre

ATREYU LYRICS

"My Sanity On The Funeral Pyre"

Paranoia is the insect working its way

Through my subconscious thoughts

It's the larve of self doubt

Gestating in my heart as I spiral down

And everything I touch is breaking

And it falls to earth in splinters

And I shiver as every splinter

Finds its way underneath my skin

And after 22 years I can still make my skin crawl

Every shortcoming, a pitfall

On my way to making amends

Within myself to be what I became



Sometimes it feels like the whole wide world

Has made itself my enemy

But I will stand upon my own two feet

And raise my head up



I lick my wounds

Trying to cleanse the infection

Rabid and diseased reality fades away

When I pushed myself too far

A dream of emotional perfection

Has left a wounded heart

Trying to perceive the gifts inherent inside me

It's like squeezing the trigger

It's like opening fire

On everyone who's let me down

On every beautiful lie that is only fiction

For the first time

I'm losing control and I like it

Freedom feels like the noose is gone

ARCTIC MONKEYS LYRICS - Stickin' To The Floor

ARCTIC MONKEYS LYRICS

"Stickin' To The Floor"

Won't somebody let me out?

Don't want to stick around no more

Sick of looking at you strange

Sick of sticking to the floor



Not one of you has got an ounce of style in ya

Said not one of you, no



Well fuck it all and break your nose

If they keep on pushing you around

If they keep on stepping on your toes

And pick you up when you fall down



Not one of you has got an ounce of style in ya

Said not one of you, no



Not one of you has got an ounce of style in ya, no

Said not one of you, no

THE CLASSIC CRIME LYRICS - Everything & Nothing

THE CLASSIC CRIME LYRICS

"Everything & Nothing"

I’ve tasted fame but never fortune

And still I couldn’t care less for both

I hope you’re done saying "I told you so"

Cause I think I’m done telling the world what I know

Everything is dark inside the whitest lie

When you take the truth in every half truth

You take the grey over the black and white



I am everything and nothing



Give me one good reason to believe I’m not alone

I will wait for You to answer me

I’ve never been much for smoke and mirrors so I need a hand to hold

I will wait for You to answer me



I’ve tasted blame poured out by brothers

And I much prefer a woman's scorn

They chastise me for being honest

When they hide behind their pride and their porn

Everything is white inside the blackest truth

I know you hate to hear it but it’s all that I can do



I am everything and nothing

I am black and white, I am wrong and right

ANGELS AND AIRWAVES LYRICS - Letters To God, Part II

ANGELS AND AIRWAVES LYRICS

"Letters To God, Part II"

All the phones have rung and rung

They are off the hook, all but one

And all the mail stacked up inside

Up from the floor, a mile high



And like one would, like a child

I'm asking..

Like I could knock on your door

Will you let me in?



And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die

I found out the truth is it's all a big lie

I find that the words are hard to describe

I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply



Climbing trees and paper planes

Life as a kid, we're all the same

Tears of joy, and sullen hearts

Sticks and stones and broken arms



And like one would, like a child

I'm asking..

Like I could knock on your door

Will you let me in?



And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die

I found out the truth is it's all a big lie

I find that the words are hard to describe

I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply

I found out what's wrong, and it's not you or I

Or anyone else that you chose tonight

It seems like the madness of choice in the life

Has made it all clear if we run or we hide



And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die

I found out the truth is it's all a big lie

I find that the words are hard to describe

I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply

I found out what's wrong, and it's not you or I

Or anyone else that you chose tonight

It seems like the madness of choice in the life

Has made it all clear if we run or we hide

COLD WORLD LYRICS - Cold World

COLD WORLD LYRICS

"Cold World"

There's a war going on outside no man is safe from

You can run but you can't hide forever.

From the fact that we're all gonna die alone

No one's looking out for you

Every man for himself.

You have your friends by your side

But in the end are they gonna be there for you?



Love, hate, kings, queens

You die alone in a cold world

Greed, lust, envy, trust

You get crushed in a cold world

Drugs, money, power, sex

What'd you expect in a cold world

Fight, fuck, coke, dust

All fucked up in a cold world.

SOCIAL DISTORTION LYRICS - Faithless

SOCIAL DISTORTION LYRICS

"Faithless"

I know a girl who warns the dangers of love

all the pain and the anguish, the sorrow that it brings

she keeps herself in a world that's protected

her outsides are tough

but inside her heart longs to sing



[Chorus:]

Don't let your walls down

You might fall in love,

You might fall in love



He's gonna get his girlfriend's name tattooed on his neck

and hope he never, never lives to regret

he's gonna walk down that long, dark alley

and what he finds there you know he'll never forget



[Chorus:]

Don't let your walls down

You might fall in love,

You might fall in love

They're crashing down now,

You might fall in love



I remember a time I believed

that the words love and pain were both one in the same

I'm gonna trade in my old ways for a new shot at life

I'm gonna change, change my direction

I'm gonna change my ways



[Chorus:]

Don't let your walls down

You might fall in love,

You might fall in love

They're crashing down now

It's you I'm thinking of,

It's you I'm thinking of

Let's fall in love.

THIS IS A STANDOFF LYRICS - Face The Sun

THIS IS A STANDOFF LYRICS

"Face The Sun"

Shunned from a jealous one.

The guiltiness still weighs a ton,

but we've never solved our problems gracefully.



Light grey apologies,

but I'm still drinking to this day.

I need resolution now before I scream.

'cause I lie here wasted, never calms me down.



I never realized our problems were so grand

and that I'd never fell it.

I sort of knew you'd draw a line right in the sand.

I face the sun, I face the.



Falls down around the town,

and still you see those people frown.

I'm one step from begging people for their change.

My heart's gone down a size,

I feel compassion from your eyes.

I still wonder why you love me anymore.



I never realized our problems were so grand

and that I'd never fell it.

I sort of knew you'd draw a line right in the sand.

I face the sun, I face the sun.



I'm still wondering why you love me anymore.

I'm still wondering why you love me anymore,

'cause I lie here wasted, never calms me down.



I never realized our problems were so grand

and that I'd never fell it.

I sort of knew you'd draw a line right in the sand.

I face the sun, I face the sun.

PENCEY PREP LYRICS - Attention Reader

PENCEY PREP LYRICS

"Attention Reader"

I'm nothing, I'm nothing

Got here, and now I'm gone

So many days fly by

You haunt me the times I shut my eyes

Choke softly from the poetry

It doesn't sound as true

When you still wear her scent



I never thought you would've

thrown something back,

ripping apart my heart.

(I see you only at night)



Won't look back,

Wretched night.



I pray for peace of mind

I beg for a brand new life

I plead for a second chance

And the ability to shut my eyes at night



I pray for peace of mind

I beg for a brand new life

I plead for a second chance

And the ability to shut my eyes at night



Angels die and memories fade

I'll live to see, the day that you break



I never thought you would've

thrown something back,

ripping apart my heart.

I see you only at night.



My heart fades

My heart fades



A true friend stabs you in the front

A true friend stabs you in the front

A true friend stabs you in the front

A true friend stabs you in the front

Go!



I pray for peace of mind

I beg for a brand new life

I pray for a second chance

And the strength

To burn this mother fucker down

SOCIAL DISTORTION LYRICS - Mommy's Little Monster

SOCIAL DISTORTION LYRICS

"Mommy's Little Monster"

Mommy's little monster dropped out of school,

Mommy's little monster broke all the rules.

He loves to go out drinking with the boys,

He loves to go out and make some noise.

He doesn't wanna be a doctor or a lawyer get fat rich.

He's 20 years old he quit his job,

Unemployment pays his rent!

His brothers sisters have tasted sweet success,

His parents condemn him, say "his life's a mess!"

He's mommy's little monster, he's not afraid to admit it.

He's mommy's little monster, don't wake him in a fit!!!

Mommy's little monster shoots methadrine,

Mommy's little monster had sex at 15

She left home for the streets,

She couldn't deal with all that heat.

She had fun with the boys in the band,

In her eyes it will never end.

Her dad asked what happened to her face,

It could have happened in any place!!!

[Chorus:]

Her eyes are a deeper blue, she likes her hair that color too.

She can even wear a dress, that doesn't mean she'll ever confess.

She's mommy's little monster

She's mommy's little monster

She's mommy's little monster

DON'T TAKE HER LIFE AWAY!!!

MIDTOWN LYRICS - Frayed Ends

MIDTOWN LYRICS

"Frayed Ends"

Fraying all the ends

You are the last one who can recognize his friends

And nothing ever changes

You're always exchanging peace of mind

For everything you want

Everything.

You want it all

I can see it in your eyes

I can see right through you

There's nothing to you

You’re telling lies

And you'll surround yourself with

Everyone who says what you need to feel all right

Why can’t you be strong?

Fraying all the ends

You are the last one who can recognize his friends

And nothing ever changes

You're always exchanging peace of mind

For everything you want

Everything.

You want it all

I can see it in your eyes

I can see right through you

There's nothing to you

You conjure lies

And you'll surround yourself with

Everyone who says what you need to feel all right

Everyone who speaks the words

That make you perpetually contrived

They say what you want to hear

Say what you want to hear

What you want to

Why can't you be strong?

SWINGIN' UTTERS LYRICS - Hopeless Vows

SWINGIN' UTTERS LYRICS

"Hopeless Vows"

My bastard brother's hopeless vow

of leaving off to another town

Has once again soaked deep into

the cold and rotting ground

He never shares his lovesick bed

or listened to a word they said

He hoards the beer and wine and bread

Christ, I wish he were fucking dead



Bury yourself in blame

Drown yourself in flame

Burn the bottle that beckons you

to betroth yourself to shame

give yourself a break

Break the ones you hate

Hate those that've fed off of you

and your pathetic plate



I've left it up to the gods above

I don't believe in, ain't seen or heard from

and nearly sick to death of this

being neither ignorant nor in bliss

with a family of parasites

and feckless friends with shameless eyes

all the endless miles caught up with me

wearing the face of my own kind



Bury yourself in blame

Drown yourself in flame

Burn the bottle that beckons you

to betroth yourself to shame

Yeah, jump that fuckin' train



wed the goddamn stain

live your life ina fuckin' cell

be the martyr with no brain



Step inside this room

mind the open wounds

cross yourself and carry on

that claptrap may do you good

SO THEY SAY LYRICS

"Save Yourself"

[Dialogue]

[Female Voice:] What the hell are dreams anyways?

[Male Voice:] Mysteries, incredible body hocus-pocus

Truth is, we still don't know what they are

or where they come from?



I know why I asked you to remember what they said to us

'Cause when I try to run I just shake

I just shake



Don't replace my words with softly spoken phrases

To cover my bruises and cuts

Bruises and cuts



[Chorus x2]

But as soon as I get out of this place

I'll do my best to keep you safe

But if I don't make it out

Please read this and save yourself



I can't catch my breath for long enough to stand up to fight

In a sense we all die

We all die



Everyone's a victim and I am the suspect

The verdict is in and it's all my fault



[Chorus x5]

But as soon as I get out of this place

I'll do my best to keep you safe

But if I don't make it out

Please read this and save yourself

HI-STANDARD LYRICS - Growing Up

HI-STANDARD LYRICS

"Growing Up"

The south wind brings the smell of night,

trees are swaying in the breeze.

I leave my hometown tonight,

the place filled with memories.

We had many quarrels,

but more talk about love and worries.

My dear town and friends, I must go,

I'll never forget you, anytime...



"Do you have to go?"

"Why? What for?"

"To dig out my dreams somewhere!"



Well I think a man must go all alone,

this dusty endless road.

Say goodbye to my friends,

leave my heart in this town.

"It's growing up!"



The car radio sings a sweet song,

it comes near the parting time.

I don't wanna see you crying,

just a terrible monster.

I'll leave everything to you,

surely write to you someday.

The sound of waves, the starry sky,

I'll never forget you, anytime...



"Come back here if you fail"

"No, I won't. I will just try it again!"



Well I think a man must go all alone,

this dusty endless road.

Say goodbye to my friends,

leave my heart in this town.

"It's growing up!"



Well I think a man must go all alone,

this dusty endless road.

Say goodbye to my friends,

leave my heart in this town.

"It's growing up!"

SMOKE OR FIRE LYRICS - Cars

SMOKE OR FIRE LYRICS

"Cars"

City to city we travel in vans from

The East to the West Coast

To places abandoned.

These bars filled with smoke

never treat us as strangers.

The road is uncertain

But we'll take our chances.



We drive and take in this world from the window.

We roll, and move to the beat of an engine

We stall, another day spent by the side of the road.

Pick yourself up and continue to roam.



This life is not for everyone,

it's harder than you know.

Cheap hotels and couches

Have become a second home.

Follow those who came before

you did and paved the way.



You can't do this forever

but until this ends we drive,

and take in this world from the window.

We roll, and move to the beat of an engine.

We stall another day spent by the side of the road.

Pick yourself up and continue to roam.

I can't stay here forever,

watching the cars go by.

I can't stay here forever,

watching the road wind down.

And I remember what you say before I leave.

Good luck and come home in one piece to me.

If this is what you do then kill it.

We made this decision.

We'll do this the hard way.

THE TIRED AND TRUE LYRICS - Excuse Me For Being A Businessman

THE TIRED AND TRUE LYRICS

"Excuse Me For Being A Businessman"

I miss my California days. I spent every night awake. I heard about a girl back east, and what she thought of me. I was a younger boy back then. I paced the shores where we once kissed, when we were young we were a force to be reckoned with. I've got the keys if you've got the nerve, for what it's worth I came to get what I deserve. Your voice is like a stun gun to my head. I had a plan and things to say. I pushed you in a telephone booth and that was where I kissed you. When it feels like the world is breaking down, and everyone around me is fading, you brought me back to earth again. When you came out to the shows I thought it's cause' you liked the songs we wrote. I prayed that you'd never ever leave. I thought that things would never change. I paced the halls where we once talked. I lost my nerve and I thought about what I lost. It's safe to say this is an end for us. I wish I could say that I really didn't give a fuck.

PINHEAD GUNPOWDER LYRICS - Dull

PINHEAD GUNPOWDER LYRICS

"Dull"

Like a dull pain in my head

Buried by my fantasies

And crowded by old memories

I can't isolate the disease

So it spreads



Like a dull ache in my heart

Just one thought starts to spark

A raging fire of doubt

No juice to put it out

Cuz my creative wells are dry

From mental drought



Looks like a dull night by myself again

And I got no money and no girlfriend

And I'm thinking too much

And I'm making pretend

Inventing problems + despair to wallow in

It's pretty dumb



Like a dull knife in my back

I'm my own worst enemy

This war inside of me

Keeps on taking the same casualty

But now I'm ready to launch a counter-attack

Yeah!

(Yeah, right)

YELLOWCARD LYRICS - Ocean Avenue

YELLOWCARD LYRICS

"Ocean Avenue"

There's a place off Ocean Avenue

Where I used to sit and talk with you

We were both 16 and it felt so right

Sleeping all day, staying up all night

Staying up all night



There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street

We would walk on the beach in our bare feet

We were both 18 and it felt so right

Sleeping all day, staying up all night

Staying up all night



If I could find you now things would get better

We could leave this town and run forever

Let your waves crash down on me and take me away



There's a piece of you that's here with me

It's everywhere I go, it's everything I see

When I sleep, I dream and it gets me by

I can make believe that you're here tonight

That you're here tonight



If I could find you now things would get better

We could leave this town and run forever

I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together

Let your waves crash down on me and take me away



I remember the look in your eyes

When I told you that this was goodbye

You were begging me not tonight

Not here, not now

We're looking up at the same night sky

And keep pretending the sun will not rise

We'll be together for one more night

Somewhere, somehow



If I could find you now things would get better

We could leave this town and run forever

I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together

Let your waves crash down on me and take me away

"Next Stop Battaries"

theres something in the way

held me close

when I was lonely

I sure hope shes alright today

like sid and nancy

up all night

drinking nothing fancy

tossing rings

PRIDEBOWL LYRICS - The Harder We Fall

PRIDEBOWL LYRICS

"The Harder We Fall"

There comes a time when life's precious should stand firm against all

And victory prevail

With echoing trumpets of pride, the bells shall toll in every town

'Cause on this mountain we stand exists (no quitters, no cowards)

The bigger we are

The harder we fall

It's not always as it seems as it always was

High standard thinking

Not as though it would ever stay

I mean for good anyway

A mistake took you for it's prey

THE BLAMESHIFTERS LYRICS

"W-199-EYE"

You're giving a speech in the oval office

I'm reading the window right behind you

I'm 2 lines ahead

And correcting what you've read

A madman a loon

How did you get to be as dumb as you?

But something else is bothering me



Bush, you lied you're fired

Bush, you fucking lied, you're fucking fired



W-199-eye

Corporation's illegal offshore deals

Terroristic links

Failed states

Drugs

Directly to the elite go our latchkey kids lunch

Trickle down economics don't work

Big surprise, once again



Bush, you lied your fired

Bush, you fucking lied, you're fucking fired

And you mother's a whore
