YELLOWCARD LYRICS - The Takedown

YELLOWCARD LYRICS

"The Takedown"

I feel things changing when I move

(Its a distance, Its a difference)

I'll cross this planet without you

(and you might call this a downfall)

Its one long night that I'm passing through

(Its a dark one what have I done)

Its one long night...



Don't turn your back on me now

You can't do this

Don't say you can live without

You can't do this alone

How did I end up like this, the lonely one,

Your greatest take down?



You take me down



Left last night with a long goodbye

(With some red wine through a phone line)

I told you thoughts that multiply

(That I don't know how to let go)

We've been here many times before

(I am empty, when you leave me)

What's one more?



Don't turn your back on me now

You can't do this

Don't say you can live without

You can do this alone

How did I end up like this, the broken one,

Your greatest take down?



You take me down

You take me down



I won't get by

I won't heal in time

I won't get by



Don't turn your back on me now

You can't do this

Don't say you can't live without

You can do this alone

How did I end up like this, the chosen one,

Your greatest take down?



You take me down

THE OVERPRIVILEGED LYRICS - New School

THE OVERPRIVILEGED LYRICS

"New School"

i wake up in the morning then go back to bed,

why, start the process all over again again

every day starts and ends the same why do i bother to play their game, every day's the same

school starts too early and I feel something swell,

my confinement here is a modern hell

forced to be good and nice forced to be left unsaid,

their fear has chained me tight, dragged me to the ground

their ways are always the right, i scream without making a sound,

won't make a commotion won't articulate my thoughts

can't show my true emotions i can't be found and caught,

if they find out that i'm sad they'll lock me up they'll lock me up

so i'll lock myself away instead let it fester in my head,

i'm sinking now, falling faster than i ever have before

this holding every thing inside is killing me at my core,

last year rabbit got expelled for telling a teacher his life was hell

last month spyder went to prison he told us his plan but we didn't listen,

they took matt away last week and i just turned the other cheek

tomorrow they will come for me when i set these demons free

MARY JANE KELLY LYRICS - My Son Optimus Prime

MARY JANE KELLY LYRICS

"My Son Optimus Prime"

Can we survive through this storm?

Can we trust the captain to fall with his ship,

lets bolt his cheek to the door.

He's the one that caused this mess,

we got a mutiny on our blood red hands.

This is for all the ones that we have silenced, the calm is still to come

Will the path we chose to follow keep us forever divided?

If this is where we're heading,

then I will be there for you even if it sends me to Him.

For I refuse to be apart of a world that's turned its back on love.

So ashamed, we must change our fight. We must make this right.

We're all guilty of a system void of compassion that fails to recognise,

one day we will be punished for our ignorance

Your ways have polluted our ranks

let's draw a chalk outline right around our city.

We all defile the truest words we've driven ourselves

from grace and now we're set to fall.

We're all walking contradictions,

this blood will not wash off my hands,

tape off the holes in my hull, we won't be saved.

We always think of changing the world,

but do we ever think of changing ourselves?

The only way to reverse our wrongs is to use what we've learnt,

for these wasted lives will not remain in vein.

NINETY POUND WUSS LYRICS - Short Hand Operation

NINETY POUND WUSS LYRICS

"Short Hand Operation"

short hand operation. my body lays exposed on the operating table. one blind eye pulled from the stems. the other frantically recalls memories like news broadcasts from an a. m. radio station. realizing just what i've become. i turn to cherish the moment of forgiveness. my second skin being removed so slowly. the moments like hours. the minutes like days. grinding through see-saw stardust. pixel vision naturally shapeless. i endure this captivity. my regret so colorless and futile. my hands lay severed beside me. dull, pale, scratching at the floor. these thoughts once pondered my own self destruction. i remember devouring all that was left of your wounded heart. i was never the person you thought i was. i was never the person i thought i was. i'm without, i'm nothing now. the truth has been seen through incision. mind intercourse, thought correction. it always comes back to sin and catastrophe. desire welling up inside. passions arise. rekindled memories. affections so bliss. forgotten pristine candy. red shake and shiver. objection dead. skin crawling. chaotic conversion. switchstance. whitewash my face to gleam again.

OZMA LYRICS - Baseball

OZMA LYRICS

"Baseball"

When i feel the morning grass i let down my guard

Because love comes from the dirt in my own backyard

Everytime i think i've finished being young

I catch myself having fun

But the moment passes as the sun moves on

So i turn myself back to you



On a diamond in the rough i spent my better years

I still see her in the crowd with diamonds in her ears

And it's depressing that i can't forget the tune the organist played

La da da da da da da, la da da da da da da...

Everytime i think i've finished being young

I catch myself having fun

But the moment passes as the son moves on

So i turn myself back to you



Is our season over?

No four leaf clover

I feel it's getting colder now that it's late fall

Can you still remember april to november?

You and i were members of the best team in baseball



So we play our games

I've got a girlfriend

You've found a new guy but it's not the same



And so i drive straight up i-5

To let you know i'm still alive

PRETTY GIRLS MAKE GRAVES LYRICS - Selling The Wind

PRETTY GIRLS MAKE GRAVES LYRICS

"Selling The Wind"

We have so far sailed maelstroms

Through the tempest light

This man-o-war

Spills forth with silks, spices & wines

Not limerick's dungeons,

18 months could kill my fervor for sea hunt

All herring lassies, gutter girls

They know what coloured clews unfurl

These threads are full,

Full of wind and tied in knots

Miss Forsythe's love

Was lost but never was forgot

Till olden age

Sabre held fast to the sky

Sea cauldron's rage

The cailleach tramps her cloak tonight

For seven days

Braved howling winds, eddies, and rains

Hey say no bolder heart remains

Oh halcyon

Of green Clew Bay

I buy these winds

To venge my children and their ghosts

I stole their ships

And every cast from their coasts

Need no advice

Nor approval from the queen

I live my life

Forever hellcat of the sea
