Saving Abel-Dodged A Bullet



I found a place where I can raise my head yeah
I found a place where I can finally stand
I found a place that I can lean on into
All my catastrophe's in hand yeah
All these surprises
They take me by surprise and
It cuts me like a knife and
Hits right between the eyes
Here comes a bullet
Now I can see
You're guided by the lies you need
And blinded by the lies you feed
That you don't realize
I dodged the bullet
If paranoias gonna keep you in the dark
Throwing stones at the glass castles that you build
Then maybe self reflection
Just gets lost in the connection
Every time that you swallow that pill yeah
Paranoid in all you'll ever be
All these surprises
They take me by surprise and
It cuts me like a knife and
Hits right between the eyes
Here comes a bullet
Now I can see
You're guided by the lies you need
And blinded by the lies you feed
That you don't realize
I dodged the bullet
Dodge dodge a bullet dodge a bullet if you can
Dodge dodge a bullet dodge a bullet comin' in
Dodge dodge a bullet dodge a bullet if you can
Dodge dodge a bullet dodge a bullet comin' in
All these surprises
They take me by surprise and
It cuts me like a knife and
Hits right between the eyes
Here comes a bullet
Now I can see
You're guided by the lies you need
And blinded by the lies you feed
That you don't realize
I dodged the bullet
Dodge dodge a bullet dodge a bullet if you can
Dodge dodge a bullet dodge a bullet comin' in
Dodge dodge a bullet dodge a bullet if you can
Dodge dodge a bullet dodge a bullet comin' in

Of Mice And Men-Wake Up

Some consider them Rock some consider them Metalcore...





I saw raindrops
The color of the sun
Slowly drip through
The pinholes up above
Then the sky fell and I saw far beyond
A chance to reach out and touch the hand of God
Wake up
You've been dreaming for so long
Daylight has come
A chance to be here now
A diamond moon on crystal waves
Lights explode and fill the space
Outside of time the soul escapes
Only for a moment
A fair exchange
Wake up
You've been dreaming for so long
Daylight has come
A chance to be here now
A chance to be anything
Wake up
You've been dreaming
Wake up
You've been dreaming for so long
Daylight has come
A chance to be here now
Wake up
Wake up
Wake
up
You've been dreaming for so long

Another night out here with all my friends
When we walk in the door, everybody's like, "Man, I ain't lookin' for trouble"

Deftones-My Mind Is A Mountain








the cold escapes, my heart is drenched through, fate comes pouring down
trip out
negative space in cycles been caught on our radar
we've been waiting here patiently locked in this state clocking our time
the storm remains and my heart's entrenched new fate explores me now
trip out
why do we bathe in this psyche? Remain calm in our mental
we display it in our patience locked in this stage plotting our time
now we sail (into) the storm implodes (around) exploring your fate
now we sail, we're starting now - behold!
negative space in cycles destroying our mental
remains in our conscious constant

Fozzy-Fall In Line







They want me to act like them
They want me to look like them
They want me to think like them
Better to just blend in
But I, I won't fall in line
Assimilated in a world infected
Am I the only one who's disconnected?
I've tried play along
But they don't care at all
And just a number with a name whose cracking
And so I face what comes of it
I know there might be violence
I think we all know how this ends
And this ends
They want me to act like them
They want me to look like them
They want me to think like them
Better to just blend in
But I, I won't fall in line this time
Where everything's black and white
And everyone wins a prize
No matter how much you shine
Keep it all inside
But I, I won't fall, I won't fall in line this time
You can feel the pressure
As they measure everything that you do
And if they catch you being different, then you're probably doomed
Go on light the fuse
Feel their eyes on you
Watching every move
They want me to act like them
They want me to look like them
They want me to think like them
Better to just blend in
But I, I won't fall in line this time
Where everything's black and white
And everyone wins a prize
No matter how much you shine
Keep it all inside
But I, I won't fall, I won't fall in line this time
All you wanted was a way out
They push and pull until you breakdown
They want your loyalty, to take your dignity
You think your mind is free, well, meet the enemy
Once you give in to them, they'll cut you wide open
Follow your heart, be who you are
Act like them, look like them, think like them, be like them
Better to blend in, but I'll never know
I, I won't fall in line, this time
Where everything's black and white
And everyone wins a prize
No matter how much you shine, keep it all inside
But I, I won't fall
I won't fall in line this time
Act like them, look like them, think like them, be like them
Better to blend in, but I'll never know

Miss May I-Relentless Chaos








Take my misery I give all of it
Take one chance I'll be there
Offering all of myself I give everything
For my last opportunity
Emery stones demonstrate and achieve what I wanted
Relentless chaos is all that has been
Thoughts of being greater have fallen fast
This highland contains whatever may come
How senseless can you be?
How confused can you be?
Relentless chaos is all that has been
Relentless chaos is all that has been
Relentless chaos is all that has been
Relentless chaos is all that has been
Look at us now higher than before
Desire to emulate and create all
Remember bringing this down?
How could you bring this down?
Please tell me why you tried so hard
Knowing this would happen one day
Take my misery I give all of it
Take one chance I'll be there
Offering all of myself I give everything
For my last opportunity
Concentrated on destroying this vision
Try to live this down when I find you begging at my feet
All your words have fallen to the ground where they belong

Nine Inch Nails-As Alive As You Need Me To Be








The way it makes me feel, infection
It's almost like a tongue on the back of my neck
I never had a choice, connection
I never had a chance to catch my breath
It's eating up the space between us
It's eating up all the remaining doubt
It's filling up the hole inside you
It's trying to find a way to let itself out
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Give me something to believe in
All these hands have got a hold of me
Give me something to believe in
As alive as you need me to be
Always going to go this way, there's no turning back
Never any other way, there's no turning back
Everything for a reason, everything for a reason
Everything for a reason, everything for a reason
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Give me something to believe in
All these hands have got a hold of me
Give me something to believe in
As alive as you need me to be
Feel
I can finally feel
I can finally feel
I can finally feel
This infection
Feel
I can finally feel
I can finally feel
I can finally feel
This infection
Feel

Feel
I can finally feel
Feel
I can finally feel
Feel

Blessthefall-Fell So Hard, Felt So Right





Imagine me
A better version of the one you see
Come on and let me know
If I'm replaceable, then why not let me go?
It seems so simple
Remember when love came easy?
Remember it felt so right?
How do we get back?
How do we get back?
Start it over
Can I get another second chance?
You know I
Never meant to make
Never meant to make you waste your time
Don't say there's somebody better
Don't say we can't make this better
Remember when love came easy?
Remember it felt so right?
How do we get back?
How do we get back?
I'd rather die
Then give you one more reason
To turn around, forget my name
I won't let it end, I'd rather die
Then give you one more reason
To let it end this way
I can't let it end this way
I can't let it end
I can't let it end this way
Remember when love came easy?
Remember it felt so right?
Remember when love came easy?
Remember it felt so right?
How do we get back?
How do we get back to the start?
Start it over, start it over
To the start
Start it over, start it over
How do
we get back?
How do we get back to the start?

Blessthefall-Hollow Bodies








Black souls, empty bodies
You had me fooled straight from the start
We pray for an answer
We have to fight or be hollow just like them
Walking lifeless, where have we been left for the dead?
Black souls, empty bodies
We have to fight or be hollow just like them
They're coming for us now (whoa)
So don't make a sound (whoa)
Is there anybody left to see the sun?
Is there anybody left to cure the dead?
Unaware and unawake
Unaware and unawake
Every city is burning, we're all wasting away
Nothing will end this, nothing to prove
Nowhere to run, all hell is breaking loose
They're coming for us now (whoa)
So don't make a sound (whoa)
Is there anybody left to see the sun?
Is there anybody left to cure the dead?
Unaware and unawake
Unaware and unawake
Something tells me we could be here for a while
And all I know is if you can't follow, you die
And I wonder if we'll make it through the night
And all I know is if you can't follow, you die
With the setting sun, put the gun in my hand
Pull the trigger, don't fail me now
With the setting sun, put the gun in my hand
Don't fail me now
It's starting again
We're going hollow
We're going hollow
Something tells me we could be here for a while
And all I know is if you can't follow, you die
And I wonder if we'll make it through the night
And all I know is if you can't follow, you die
(Whoa, whoa)
Don't fail me now (whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa)
Don't fail me now (whoa, whoa)

Ice Nine Kills-Me, Myself And Hyde








I tear apart the pages of the story of my life
In black and white, the wrong and right will struggle to survive
And I've been falling apart in the pouring rain
I'm waging war on myself, a captive casualty
Traded a merciful heart for a murderer's brain
But now I curse what's in my head
Because I can't stop seeing red
Did you really think I would falter, my friend?
I've destroyed you before, I'll destroy you again
I'm the hell that is your future, I'll incinerate your past
I'm the devil on your shoulder, but I'll always be your better half
We might share one body
But this spine is fucking mine
By now you should know
You're just a spectator, I'm the show
Is this the end of me?
'Cause I've been falling apart in the pouring rain
I'm waging war on myself, a captive casualty
Traded a merciful heart for a murderer's brain
But now I curse what's in my head
Because I can't stop seeing red
Did you really think you could hide from me, doctor?
Have you not seen the legacy I've carved into the flesh of this city?
Even Van Gogh would call it a bloody good impression
An artist of infection and you're just another piece of my collection
A mirror image of perfection
Whose time has fucking come
'Cause I've been falling apart in the pouring rain
I'm waging war on myself, a captive casualty
Traded a merciful heart for a murderer's brain
But now I curse what's in my head
Because I can't stop seeing redFriends and fellow countrymen, lend me your ears
The following revelation's for you skeptics to hear
There exists no good, only unrealized evil
I'll bring hope to the sinners and death to the people
I tear apart the pages of the story of my life
'Cause I've been falling apart in the pouring rain
I'm waging war on myself, a captive casualty
Traded a merciful heart for a murderer's brain
But now I curse what's in my head
Because I can't stop seeing red
I'm seeing red
The doctor is dead
I bid thee farewell
Fuck my fate
Just save a seat for me in Hell

Pretty Reckless-For I Am Death







There's something wrong with me
I cut, but I don't bleed
There's something wrong with me
I like autonomy
Away from all you freaks
There's something wrong with me
There's something wrong with me
I can feel the needles in my hands
Feel the needles in my bones
Crawling up my spine to where God only knows
For I am death, and I can feel
I got my hands upon the wheel
I am not lost
For I have found the only one
Who put me down
For I am death, and I won't break
I got a life I've got to take
When will it end this suffering of late?
It was nice to know you
I'm like pornography
Cut from a magazine
There's something wrong with me
There's something wrong with me
I can feel the needles in my hands
Feel the needles in my bones
Crawling up my spine to where God only knows
For I am death, and I can feel
I got my hands upon the wheel
I am not lost
For I have found the only one
Who put me down
For I am death, and I won't break
I got a life I've got to take
When will it end, this suffering of late?
It was nice to know you
And in the back of your mind
Where even dark is blind
Looking for a sign
Waiting for your time to come
But you can't outrun
The hand of fate
And I will wait
For I am death, and all alone
So many years out on my own
And everyone just runs and hides away
Hides away from me
For I am death, and I can feel
I got my hands upon the wheel
I am not lost
For I have found the only one
Who put me down
For I am death, and I won't break
I got a life I've got to take
When will it end, this suffering of late?
It was nice to know you

Beck-Lost Cause








Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone
Make it hard to leave you alone
Leave you here wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause
There's too many people you used to know
They see you coming, they see you go
They know your secrets, and you know theirs
This town is crazy, but nobody cares
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause
I'm tired of fightin'
I'm tired of fightin'
Fighting for a lost cause
There's a place where you are goin'
You ain't never been before
There's no one laughing at your back now
No one standing at your door
Is that what you thought love was for?
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause
I'm tired of fightin'
I'm tired of fightin'
Fighting for a lost cause

Mudvayne-Sticks & Stones







"Sticks And Stones"

Like sticks and stones your words hurt me
You took a piss on my pretty things
I'm helpless and hopeless, so let me die
Like sticks and stones your words hurt me
You took a piss on my pretty things
I'm helpless and hopeless, so let me die
I'm tired of, being nothing
But you've helped me to succeed
I'm tired of being beaten down
This life has cost me everything
I'm tired
Of being destroyed by the people I cared for and loved
I'm sick
Of the hatred in me that runs through my body like blood
I was a child that was used as a weapon
I'm tired of being the demon, the reason
That blood doesn't wash out it stains
Like sticks and stones your words hurt me
You took a piss on my pretty things
I'm helpless and hopeless, so let me die
I'm tired of
All the pain you've sown
I grew from those seeds
Someone turn the light on
Turn off the darkness that surrounds me
I'm tired
And I'm not afraid of you but I'm so afraid of myself
I'm sick
Being locked in a breakdown inside of my head that's my hell
I was a child that was used as a weapon
I'm tired of being your demon, the reason
That blood doesn't wash out it stains
Like sticks and stones your words hurt me
You took a piss on my pretty things
I'm helpless and hopeless, so let me die
Tired of my wounds and stitches
I'm tired or my scars
Tired of my wounds and stitches
I'm tired or my scars
Tired of my wounds and stitches
I'm tired or my scars
Like sticks and stones your words hurt me
You took a piss on my pretty things
I'm helpless and hopeless, so let me die
Like sticks and stones your words hurt me
You took a piss on my pretty things
I'm helpless and hopeless, so let me die
(Tired of my wounds and stitches
I'm tired or my scars)
Like sticks and stones your words hurt me
You took a piss on my pretty things
I'm helpless and hopeless, so let me die
So let me die!
