Five Finger Death Punch-Wash It All Away








I've given up
On society
Up on my family
Up on your social disease

I've given up
On the industry
Up on democracy
Done with all your hypocrisy

All of the chaos
And all of the lies
I hate it

I'm wasting here
Can anyone
Wash it all away?
I'm waiting here
For anyone
To wash it all away
Wash it all away!

I've given up
On the media
Feeds my hysteria
Sick of living down on my knees

I've given up
On morality
Feeds my brutality
Fuck what you think about me

All of the chaos
And all of the lies
I hate it

I'm wasting here
Can anyone
Wash it all away?
I'm waiting here
For anyone
To wash it all away
Wash it all away!

I won't change for you
And I can't take the pain
There's nothing you can do
And there's nothing you can say

I've given up
On everything
Up on everything
Up on everything!

I'm wasting here
Can anyone
Wash it all away?
I'm waiting here
For anyone
To wash it all away
Wash it all away!

I'm wasting here
With everyone
Just wash it all away
I'm waiting here
For anyone
To wash it all away
Wash it all away!

Wash it all away!

From Ashes To New-Barely Breathing








Now you're leaving, I'm the one who's bleeding
Cut out a piece of me, and now I'm barely breathing

It was all a game to you, and I'm the one that played the fool
I let you feed me to your demons
And nothing that I say or do will ever be enough for you
So, fuck my feelings, I don't need them

(Yeah) you were my heroin, you used to get me high
But all you cared about was selling me a lie
You used to lift me up, you always used to pick me up
But now you wanna give me up and bury me alive

Now you're leaving, I'm the one who's bleeding
Cut out a piece of me, and now I'm barely breathing
Give me a reason, you're silent when I'm screaming
You took a piece of me, and now I'm barely breathing

(I'm barely breathing)
(I'm barely breathing)

I wish I would've known the truth, 'cause I'd have run away from you
You sold a lie, and I believed it
And everything you put me through is gonna come back to you
And if it kills you, then we're even

(Yo, yo) you were my world, but my head was in the stars
But then you burned me out and left me in the dark
You used to lift me up, you always used to pick me up
But now you wanna give me up, it's tearing me apart

Now you're leaving, I'm the one who's bleeding
Cut out a piece of me, and now I'm barely breathing
Give me a reason, you're silent when I'm screaming
You took a piece of me, and now I'm barely breathing

Take me back to what we had
Just take me back, 'cause I'm barely breathing
Take me back to what we had
Just take me back (to what we had)

Now you're leaving, I'm the one who's bleeding
Cut out a piece of me, and now I'm barely breathing
Give me a reason, you're silent when I'm screaming
You took a piece of me, and now I'm barely breathing

(You were my heroin, you used to get me high) I'm barely breathing
(But all you cared about was selling me a lie)
(You used to lift me up, you always used to pick me up) I'm barely breathing
(But now you wanna give me up and bury me alive)
So take me back to what we had
Just take me back, I'm barely breathing

Kiss-Heavens On Fire








Woo-oo-oo

I look at you and my blood boils hot
I feel my temperature rise
I want it all, give me what you got
It's hunger in your eyes

I'm getting closer, baby hear me breathe

You know the way to give me what I need
Just let me love you and you'll never leave

You make me shiver and shake

Eat it like a piece of cake

You could bring the devil to his knees

Heaven's on fire

Oh-oh, heaven's on fire
Oh-oh, heaven's on fire

Paint the sky with desire
Angel fly
Heaven's on fire
Feel my heat
Takin' you higher
Burn with me
Heaven's on fire

Foreigner-Jukebox Hero








Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream

He heard one guitar, just blew him away
He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day
Bought a beat up six-string in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure

That one guitar felt good in his hands
Didn't take long to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was a one-way ticket, only one way to go

So he started rocking
He is never going to stop
Got to keep on rocking
Someday he's going to make it to the top

And be a jukebox hero (got stars in his eyes)
He's a jukebox hero
He took one guitar (jukebox hero, stars in his eyes)
Jukebox hero (stars in his eyes)
He'll come alive tonight

In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one guitar made his whole life change

Now he needs to keep on rocking
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rocking
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a jukebox hero (got stars in his eyes)
He's a jukebox hero (got stars in his eyes)
Yeah, jukebox hero (stars in his eyes)
With that one guitar (stars in his eyes), he'll come alive
Come alive tonight

Yeah, he's gotta keep on rocking
Just can't stop
Gotta keep on rocking
That boy has got to stay on top
And be a jukebox hero (got stars in his eyes)
He's a jukebox hero (got stars in his eyes)

That one guitar (jukebox hero)
Put stars in his eyes
Yeah, he's just a jukebox hero
Jukebox hero
Jukebox hero, he's got stars in his eyes
Stars in his eyes

Knocked Loose-Blinding Faith








Blinding faith
Blinding faith

I am haunted by the spirit again
I can't feel it
I pretend
There's something inside me that won't let it in
I'm all alone
So I beg
Beg for a chance in a circle of snakes
A life consumed by faith

From inside, I can hear their call
Offering the blood of God
Oh

Fall in line now
Bow your head

I will suffer here instead of biting my tongue
Condemned to a life of pain, until my time has come
No promise of heaven will make me march
With my final breath
I deny the church

The word becomes the law
The word becomes the law
Bend your knee
Child of God

Blinding faith
Fall in line
Blind

Left To Suffer-Lost In The Dark





Lost in the dark
For all these years I've been standing on my own two feet without you
Lost in the dark
But I still think of you when I know I'm not supposed to
Start with a spark
And it fades into the Milky Way
Tear out my heart
Leaving me gutted while I'm lost in the dark

Counting down 'til I see your face
And there is nothing in this world that can just tempt me to say
That I am lost in the jaws of the beast of despair
And I would rather die than to say that I care

In case you forgot
In case you forgot

Lost in the dark
For all these years I've been standing on my own two feet without you
Lost in the dark
But I still think of you when I know I'm not supposed to
Start with a spark
And it fades into the Milky Way
Tear out my heart
Leaving me gutted while I'm lost in the dark

Ah, shit! You fucked me, you bitch
When the sun goes down
When the moon comes up
When I'm in my bed
Then it's time to fight

Against my head that would not stop talking, even when I
Cry, fuck, I can't handle this shit anymore but I really wanna get out
Of this nightmare I'm living in
Because you're fucking killing me
I'm so fucking pissed, and I don't know what to do
You are the reason I want to forget all the good things
That happened to me before I met the devil
You carry around in your head that came out to make
Me the most vulnerable I've ever been

Ah, fuck!
Come on, bro, take over again
Lost in the dark

Come and face me now
Your doom will follow you home
Surrender into the night and die
Your doom will follow you home
Surrender into the night and die

Staind-Something To Remind You









So this is it
I say goodbye
To this chapter of my ever-changing life
And there's mistakes
The path is long
And I'm sure I'll answer for them when I'm gone

So when the day comes and the sun won't touch my face
Tell the ones who cared enough that I've finally left this place

That's been so cold
Look at my face
All the stories it will tell I can't erase
The road is long
Just one more song
A little something to remind you when I'm gone
When I'm gone

The road to Hell
Along the way
Is paved with good intentions, so they say
And some believe
That no good deed
Goes unpunished in the end, or so it seems

So when the day comes and the sun won't touch my face
Tell the ones who care enough that I've finally left this place

That's been so cold
Look at my face
All the stories it will tell I can't erase
The road is long
Just one more song
A little something to remind you when I'm gone
When I'm gone

So this is it
I say goodbye
To this chapter of my ever-changing life
And there's mistakes
The path was long
And I'm sure I'll answer for them when I'm gone
When I'm gone

Awaken I Am-Upside Down





Tell me what you wanted from me
But don't you dare tell me you're sorry
I'm counting every lie you told me one by one
(One by one)
So while you let your words out coldly
I listen and it feels unholy
I'm counting every moment til it comes undone
(Comes undone)

Is it what you wanted
Time will bring you nothing
I'll never let you forget
Everything you touch is left hanging
Upside down
And the memories stay, they're forever in place
I can't drown you out
And the memories stay, taking them to my grave

I tried to leave but you left unspoken
I tried to break but you left me broken
Not the way
Thought you'd stay
Got a way of saying sorry
You got a way of breaking hearts babe
Not the way
The games we play

Is it what you wanted
Time will bring you nothing
I'll never let you forget
Everything you touch is left hanging
Upside down
And the memories stay, they're forever in place
I can't drown you out
And the memories stay, taking them to my grave

When you're hollow enough
You'd kill just to be anyone
When you're hollow enough
You'd kill just to be anyone

(Breakdown)

Never thought it'd be
Never thought it'd be
So far gone now
Never thought it'd be
Never thought it'd be
I wanna feel there's more
I wanna break down doors

But it's upside down
And the memories stay, they're forever in place
I can't drown you out
And the memories stay, taking them to my grave

Is it what you wanted
Time will bring you nothing
I'll never let you forget
Everything you touch is left hanging
Upside down
And the memories stay, they're forever in place
I can't drown you out
And the memories stay, taking them to my grave

The Cars-Since You're Gone









Since you're gone, the nights are gettin' strange
Since you're gone, well, nothing's makin' any sense
Since you're gone, I stumble in the shade
Since you're gone, everything's in perfect tense, well

I can't help it when you fall apart
And I can't help it, guess you better start

That is forgettin' about you (since you're gone)
Since you're gone, nights are gettin' strange (since you're gone)
Since you're gone, throwin' it all away (since you're gone)
Since you're gone, the nights are gettin' strange (since you're gone)
Since you're gone, throwin' it all away

I can't help it, everything's a mess
I can't help it, you're so treacherous
When it comes to tenderness
(Since you're gone)

I can't help it, everything's a mess
I can't help it, you're so treacherous

Oh, where's that tenderness? (Since you're gone)
Since you're gone, I missed the peak sensation (since you're gone)
Since you're gone, I took the big vacation (since you're gone)
Well, never feel sedate (since you're gone)
Well, the moonlight ain't so great (since you're gone)
Since you're gone (since you're gone)

Well, I've thrown it all away (since you're gone)
When the nights are getting (since you're gone) strange
I've thrown it all away (since you're gone)
Well, since you're gone (since you're gone)
Since you're gone (since you're gone)
Well, I've thrown it all away
Since you're gone (since you're gone)

Staind-Better Days








I've been feelin' outta control
There's no healin' between all the roads
And there's no comfort, am I losin' my soul?
Is it too late to just let 'em go?

And someday I will wake up
And everything has changed
Until then, I will dream of better days
Still living in the sorrow and learnin' from the pain
Until then, I will dream of better days

I tried to hold on, but it slipped through my hands
Do you believe in a second chance
For all we've been through?
Don't you think we deserve so much more than this hurt?

And someday I will wake up
And everything has changed
Until then, I will dream of better days
Still living in the sorrow and learnin' from the pain
Until then, I will dream of better days
Of better days

I've been feeling so out of control
There's no healin'

And someday I will wake up
And everything has changed
Until then, I will dream of better days
Still living in the sorrow and learnin' from the pain
Until then, I will dream of better days

Someday I will wake up
And everything has changed
Until then, I will dream of better days
Still living in the sorrow and learnin' from the pain
Until then, I will dream of better days

Of better days
Of better days
Of better days

Can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty, and my legs are thin
Don't ask me what I think of you

Oh, well

He said, "Stick by me, and I'll be your guiding hand"

Disturbed-Land Of Confusion









I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
Moving into the street
Now did you read the news today?
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
Burning into the night

There's too many men
Too many people making too many problems
And there's not much love to go round
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Our superman, where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, these men of power
Are losing control by the hour

And this is the time
This is the place so we look for the future
But there's not much love to go round
Tell me why this is a land of confusion?

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright
All through the night
In the wake of this madness
As I held you tight
So long ago

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep

There's too many men
Too many people making too many problems
And there's not much love to go round
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to

Cage The Elephant-Ain't No Rest For The Elephant








He was a-
Ya know it
He was a-

I was walking down the street
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
She said, I've never seen a man
Who looks so all alone
Uh, could you use a little company?

If you pay the right price
Your evening will be nice
And you can go and send me on my way
I said, "You're such a sweet young thing
Why'd you do this to yourself?"
She looked at me and this is what she said

"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know
I wish I could
Oh, no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"

Not even 15 minutes later
I'm still walking down the street
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
And then he swept up from behind
He put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight

He said, "Give me all you've got
I want your money not your life
But if you try to make a move, I won't think twice"
I told him, "You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?"

He said, "There ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
Yeah

You know it
He was a-
You know it
He was a-

Well, now a couple hours passed
And I was sitting at my house
The day was winding down and coming to an end
And so I turned on the TV
And flipped it over to the news
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend

I saw a preacher man in cuffs
He'd taken money from the church
He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
But even still I can't say much
Because I know we're all the same
Oh yes, we all seek out to satisfy those thrills

You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
We got bills to pay
We got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know we can't slow down
We can't hold back, though you know, we wish we could
Oh no, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
