THE HUMAN ABSTRACT LYRICS - Metanoia

THE HUMAN ABSTRACT LYRICS

"Metanoia"

Look at me now, I'm losing control

I don’t know what to call myself

I know that I'm sick of playing a role

All along, I've been kidding myself,

Seeking out a set reality.

They say sanity is dictated by what the larger percentage of society sees.

What does that mean? Clearly nothing.

Psychology is not an exact science, in fact,

There is no exact science, thoughit may seem.

That means I’m okay and everything’s ok.

Wrong again, I’ve been kidding myself.

Life is falling apart at the seams.

Somehow I’m doomed to go over the same ground in these

Compulsive circular thought patterns over and over time

And again over and over time and again.

I think I've got it all worked out and

Then I forget every conclusion drawn every epiphany, gone.

I felt safe, then the walls came crashing in one day.

Without warning, everything that I thought was stable deep in me starts to wash away.

Can you feel it? It’s the motion of the tide.

Watch yourself now, there's an ocean deep inside.

You could drown in it.

Look at me now, I'm losing control,

Might even be learning to enjoy the sting of the irony.

Changing my shape, I slide through the door way.

Watch yourself now.

There is no ocean deeper than this.

Watch yourself.

It’s an endless journey through the abyss all along

I’ve been kidding myself, working equations.

It’s a long walk in and there's no clear way home.

Everything I was in constant change.

I'm not the same.

AGAINST ALL AUTHORITY LYRICS - We Won't Submit

AGAINST ALL AUTHORITY LYRICS

"We Won't Submit"

You can close you eyes and pretend that everything's fine

but sooner or later you'll open your eyes

and reality will strike you blind

They're stealing all our money

and desroying all our scene

We're working hard to make them rich

with their get rich corporate schemes

We won't submit

They're full of shit

I'd rather die

Then live a lie

You bust your ass every week

you think that you are free

I want to take a fuckin' gun

and shoot them in the head

cause I won't rest until the day

that I look out and see

the lawyers and the politicians

all lying around dead

Punks unite, show some might

don't go down without a fight

don't backdown, stand your ground

Let's go out and burn this town

we'll skank all night at the sight

of the city burning bright

All around you'll hear the sound

of the town burning down

Open your eyes, you work for the system

You're a tool, I can't take the lies

And if you believe them you're a fool

Can't you hear the cries

from the working class

the ones you rule

and you cannot hide

because we'll find you

It's time for us to fight

against everything that you stand for

Time to feel our might

gonna kick your ass and even the score

Burn everything in sight

break all of your windows

loot your stores

Gonna start tonight

We're hard to the core

It's time for you to pay

for the rotten shit that you have done

We won't fade away

our hate will burn you like the sun

We will seize the day

it's time for us to have some fun

We are here to stay

until we've fuckin won

We're running out into the streets

to pick up sticks and stones

We'll wait outside your fuckin' house

and break your fuckin' bones

We won't listen to reason

cause it makes no sense at all

We will bring you fuckin' down

and make you fuckin' fall

I AM THE AVALANCHE LYRICS - Is This Really Happening?

I AM THE AVALANCHE LYRICS

"Is This Really Happening?"

She's a golden ticket

A shining peach mixed in a drink

That's resting on a chair in a desert land

And not a grain of sand has compromised her worth

And you're a broken man

Crawling on his hands and knees

In that same desert land

Doing the best he can not to think about how he really needs that drink

Is this really...



Is this really happening?

The sun's finally shining down on me

Is this really happening

The snow's actually meting in front of my face



I don't know but I've been told

That a New York winter is mighty cold

Yeah, but we still walk down the coldest blocks using the fire in our hearts

The way it wasn't, the way it is that works perfectly for me

So let's keep it that way

Is this really...



Is this really happening?

The sun's finally shining down on me

Is this really happening

The snow's actually meting in front of my face [2x]



This perfectly perfect disease has got me down on my knees

No not to pray but just to say

I love you more than yesterday

PROPAGANDHI LYRICS - Night Letters

PROPAGANDHI LYRICS

"Night Letters"

Your world was blown right apart

On a night of sickening death.

You went running for your life,

And never went home again.



I spend sleepless nights as my head

Swims worrying about you.



You work the night shift

So you won't be alone.

I am adept at cold.

You have travelled so far from home.

And sorrow has followed every step of the way.

You're caught between this life and the one left behind.



I see it's burning you inside,

Like some exploding sun.

Your mind constantly returns

To a place that's not so fucking cold...



But on fire with war.



You're starting over from scratch,

Sending your money home.

You're working as hard as you can

While life hangs in the air.



I see distant lights up ahead

But I'm worrying about you.



It's all taking its toll

And you can't concentrate.

You are being crushed by the world.

I have got lucky so far.

And we sit at the end of this night dialing,

An answer finally reached through a long-distance line.



News of threatening night letters,

Stones tossed over the fence,

Your loved ones taunted by murderers.

Tell them it's three years that they'll have to wait...



As their whole world implodes.

FAKE ID LYRICS - All Or Nothing

[Originally by O-Town]



I know when he's been on your mind

That distant look is in your eyes

I thought with time you'd realize

It's over, over

It's not the way I choose to live

And something somewhere's got to give

As sharing this relationship gets older, older



You know I'd fight for you

But how I can fight someone who isn't even there

I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you

I don't care if that's not fair



because I want it all

Or nothing at all

There's no where left to fall

When you reach the bottom it's now or never

Is it all

Or are we just friends

Is this how it ends

With a simple telephone call

You leave me here with nothing at all



There are times it seems to me

I'm sharing you with memories

I feel it in my heart

But I don't show it, show it

And then there's times you look at me

As though I'm all that you can see

Those times I don't believe it's right

I know it, know it



Don't make me promises

Baby you never did know how to keep them well

I've had the rest of you

Now I want the best of you

It's time for show and tell



because I want it all

Or nothing at all

There's no where left to fall

When you reach the bottom it's now or never

Is it all

Or are we just friends

Is this how it ends

With a simple telephone call

You leave me here with nothing



Cause you and I

Could lose it all if you've got no more room

Nowhere inside for me in your life

Cause I want it all

Or nothing at all

There's no where left to fall

It's now or never



Is it all

Or are we just friends

Is this how it ends

With a simple telephone call

You leave me here with nothing at all



Nothing at all

There's no where left to fall

When you reach the bottom it's now or never

Is it all

Or are we just friends

Is this how it ends

With a simple telephone call

You leave me here with nothing at all



Are we just friends

Is this how it ends

With a simple telephone call

You leave me here with nothing at all

J CHURCH LYRICS - Quickstep

J CHURCH LYRICS

"Quickstep"

Pond Scum Plum is as cool as they come,

And he's swinging from the chandeliers,

He doesn't even care about his girlfriend's affair,

As long as he can spend the night drinking by the pier,

He laughs and says "Love ruins everything",

But he doesn't really mean it,

It's the drugs talking,

Lolita takes one look and knows everything,

The stars are incidental, could be anything



I'll learn the quickstep, scissors step, side chasse,

Quickstep, scissors step, side chasse,

Quickstep, scissors step, side chasse,

Yeah, yeah, whatever it takes



With steady drink in hand, I'm drawing up a plan,

In the hopes of tonight's pre-occupations,

The girls just wanna know what is on the stereo,

Is it Elvis or just imitation?

We're fending off another year,

Our private little club,

Hoping that the alcohol is gonna be enough,

It's early in the morning and the diner isn't fun,

The waitress' feet drag while the eggs begin to run



I'll learn the quickstep, scissors step, side chasse,

Quickstep, scissors step, side chasse,

Quickstep, scissors step, side chasse,

Yeah, yeah, whatever it takes



Fuck this, my body: a trashcan,

I woke up today with the shakes again,

It's 98 degrees and I can't take the noise,

I'm living in a box and unemployed,

Last night I passed out in all of my clothes,

Somewhere along the lines I got a bloody nose,

Winners get medals and front-page news,

I want a trophy every time that I lose



I'll learn the quickstep, scissors step, side chasse,

Quickstep, scissors step, side chasse,

Quickstep, scissors step, side chasse,

Yeah, yeah, whatever it takes
