[3mtn-kate]

I want the end to begin but not without you,
so easy for me to speak not complete my actions,
divide me that way I can love and hate you baby,
torn between stayin' or keepin' you with me,
I can't let go.

This love is so dysfunctional,
It leaves me so emotional,
can't take it anymore but I can't let, can't let, can't let,
I can't let go.
I try my hardest to break free,
I'm so locked up and you got the key,
I'm in way too deep and I can't let, can't let, can't let,
I can't let go oh oh no
can't let go oh oh no,
can't let go oh oh no,
can't let go oh oh no,
can't let go.

Was sold but now I regret the day that we met,
didn't know that I could hate someone that I love,
I fell in too far and now I'm drownin' save me,
I want to leave you but my heart's sayin,
I can't let go.

This love is so dysfunctional,
It leaves me so emotional,
can't take it anymore but I can't let, can't let, can't let,
I can't let go.
I try my hardest to break free,
I'm so locked up and you got the key,
I'm in way too deep and I can't let, can't let, can't let,
I can't let go.

No matter how hard I may try,
it just won't die,
the many memories haunt my mind,
I can't understand why,
I still hold on, what went wrong,
tell me is it my fault,
I need to know,
don't wanna guess anymore,
I know I should leave you alone but I just can't let go

This love is so dysfunctional,
It leaves me so emotional,
can't take it anymore but I can't let, can't let, can't let,
I can't let go.
I try my hardest to break free,
I'm so locked up and you got the key,
I'm in way too deep and I can't let, can't let, can't let,
I can't let go oh oh no
can't let go oh oh no,
can't let go oh oh no,
can't let go oh oh no,
can't let go.

 

[3mtn-kate]

I asked her to stay but she wouldn't listen
She left before I had the chance to say
Oh
The words that would mend the things that were broken
But now it's far too late, she's gone away

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

The taste of your breath, I'll never get over
The noises that she made kept me awake
Oh
The weight of things that remained unspoken
Built up so much it crushed us everyday

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

Of all the things I felt but never really shown
Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you go
I should not ever let you go, oh oh oh

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you

A Breath Of Sunshine by Scary Kids Scaring Kids


Lost myself in an endless goodnight
Kept the time by the patterns of the streetlight
Couldn't get it right
I could never get it right
Sadly, this is a wasted conversation
Lost on you, lost on you
This is a test of my patience
Your blue eyes are so cruel
I can't escape all the things we said
I'm taking years off my life with the weight of regret
Now there's nothing left
There is nothing left to lose

Shouldn't I feel alive?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night
Shouldn't I feel alive?

The night fades with a breath of sunshine
I'll do my best to adjust to the morning light
I can't keep my place
Feels like I've been awake for days
Sadly, you turn away and now I'm faced
With the harsh truth, the harsh truth
My cold heart is a place where true love cannot bloom

Shouldn't I feel alive?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night
Shouldn't I feel alive?

There's static on the airwaves
I'll try to find the light through all this haze
I can't find the words that I'm trying to say
So try to forget me as I walk away

There's static on the airwaves
(There's static on the airwaves)
(I'll try to find the light through this haze)
There's static on the airwaves
(There's static on the airwaves)
(I try to find light through this haze)
Try to forget me as I walk away

Shouldn't I feel alive?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night

Shouldn't I feel alive?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night
Shouldn't I feel alive?

Bulletproof by Scary Kids Scaring Kids


It's happening again

So cross your fingers
And cover up the path you left again

He was crossing his fingers
(Crossing his fingers)
As the bullet pierced his chest

Your people piled high
These figures never lie
The prize your country sent
A perfect red embellishment

(Your)
Your pride just swallowed it
(Just swallowed it)
Your pride just swallowed it

The answer to this call to arms
Marching onward, marching backwards
You're stomping over broken hearts
Marching onward, marching backwards
Will weary soilders lay them down in time

It's happening again

So cross your fingers
(Cross your fingers)
Until there's nothing left

Just stop and take a breath
Suck in the stench of death

We just got the numbers back
We hope they all died right on impact

Your
Your pride just swallowed it
Your pride just
Your pride just swallowed it

So take a number undertaker
Marching onward, marching backward
The last hands to be laid on loved ones
Marching onward, marching backward
Our sons and daughters sleeping in the rubble

(I say let the Congress declare that)
(Since the unprovoked stand down, a speech of war [more speaking])
This is the last time, I'll tell you

Are you bulletproof, are you bulletproof?
Sign, sign your life away
Are you bulletproof, are you bulletproof?
How many pieces are you gonna come back in?

Are you bulletproof, are you bulletproof?
Sign, sign you're life away
Are you bulletproof, are you bulletproof?
How many pieces are you gonna come back in?

Degenerates by Scary Kids Scaring Kids


Do you think you're made of gold?
Invincible?
You think you can handle it?
You will learn from this.

I'm telling you friend
this is something worth fighting for.
Does it not seem contradicting
to sit back and watch them take more?
Caught like a deer in their headlights, you're stuck now.
You're bound by your fears
I suggest you break free or
you'll forever be damned here.

We are merely degenerates waiting for you
to come sweep us off of our feet!
They keep marching on
spilling blood like savages.
Taking lives while your cigarette burns, burns.

You can't tell me, my friend
that that wasn't worth dying for.
gave it all and received nothing
may as well have let them take more.
Dig deep, find the courage to speak
are you really still bound by your fear?
This is all just a dream now
you can't speak and you're damned here.

We are merely degenerates waiting for you
to come sweep us off of our feet!
They keep marching on
spilling blood like savages.
Taking lives while your cigarette burns, burns.

This is our fight for freedom
this is our way of saying
this is our day.

We've been waiting for this one day all our lives
This is nothing short of predictable.
Stop holding your head down
Give it up!
get a hold of yourself now.
Or give it up!
You're like a deer in the headlights,
You've given up!
To save your life.

We've been waiting, yeah waiting all our lives
This nothing short of predictable.
Stop holding your head down
Give it up!
get a hold of yourself now.
Or give it up!
You're like a deer in the headlights,
You've given up!
To save your life.
Find the will to save your life!

The Call -Regina Spektor

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

My Darkest Hour by Scary Kids Scaring Kids


Let me up
Let me out
I am suffocating
I can't live without this all behind me
Is this almost over now
The longest night, my darkest hour
Where you will find me
Pale, lost and dying
From the truth

You left me at the altar
My heart in my hand
I am tired and broken
Haunted by memories of
The life you've stolen
I am tired and broken
You left me at the altar
My heart in my hand (you left me, I won't forget)
In my hand (you left me and I won't forget)

Let me up
Let me out
My lips are trembling
And I cannot make a sound
My love betrays me
Is this almost over now?
The walls caved in
The roof fell down
And I am finally
Tired of the lying
And the cloud
That follows you

You left me at the altar
My heart in my hand
I am tired and broken
Haunted by memories of
The life you've stolen
I am tired and broken
You left me at the altar
My heart in my hand (you left me, I won't forget)
In my hand (you left me with my heart in my hand, I won't forget)

You left me breathless
You left me scared
But your love has never kept me warm when you weren't here

And now my only hope is to take back what you've stolen
(My life will go on without you)
And now my only hope is to take back what you've stolen
(My life will go on without you)

You left me at the altar
My heart in my hand
I am tired and broken
Haunted by memories of
The life you've stolen
(You left me, I won't forget)
You've stolen
(You left me and I won't forget)
You've stolen
(You left me, I won't forget)
You've stolen
(You left me in the end, I will not forget)

~Picture To Burn, Taylor Swift

State the obvious
I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realized you love yourself
More that you could ever love me

So go and tell your friends
That I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine, I'll tell mine
You're gay and by the way

I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying

So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned
You're just another picture to burn

There's no time for tears
I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
There's nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends

And if you come around
Saying sorry to me
My daddy's going to show you
How sorry you'll be

'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying

And so watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned
You're just another picture to burn

And if you're missing me
You better keep it to yourself
'Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health

'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying

So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
In case you haven't heard
I really, really hate that

Stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck, heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying

So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned
You're just another picture to burn

Burn, burn, burn, baby burn
Just another picture to burn
Baby burn

 

[PosessedEeyore]

Well, she's not bleeding on the ballroom floor
Just for the attention
Cause that's just ridiculous...ly odd.
Well, she sure is going to get it
Here's the setting
Fashion magazines line the walls now
The walls line the bullet holes

Have some composure
And where is your posture?
Oh, no, no!
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong

Have some composure
And where is your posture?
Oh, no, no!
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong

Give me envy, give me malice, give me your attention
Give me envy, give me malice, baby, give me a break!
When I say "Shotgun", you say "Wedding"
"Shotgun", "Wedding", "Shotgun", "Wedding"

She didn't choose this role
But she'll play it and make it sincere
So you cry, you cry
(Give me a break)
But they believe it from the tears
And the teeth right down to the blood
At her feet
Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogen and wearing Aubergine dreams
(Give me a break)

Have some composure
And where is your posture?
Oh, no, no!
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong

Have some composure
And where is your posture?
Oh, no, no!
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong

Come on this is screaming "Photo op." op...
Come on
Come on
This is screaming
This is screaming
This is screaming "Photo op."

Boys will be boys, baby
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys, baby
Boys will be boys

Give me envy, give me malice, give me your attention
Give me envy, give me malice, baby, give me a break!
When I say "Shotgun", you say "Wedding"
"Shotgun", "Wedding", "Shotgun", "Wedding"

Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogen and boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogen and wearing Aubergine dreams

Please leave all overcoats, canes, and top hats with the doorman
From that moment, you'll be out of place and underdressed
I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it
Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring and

Please leave all overcoats, canes, and top hats with the doorman
From that moment, you'll be out of place and underdressed
I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it
Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring and

When you're in black slacks with accentuating off-white pinstripes, whoa-oh
Everything goes according to plan

I'm the new cancer, never looked better
You can't stand it
Because you say so under your breath
You're reading lips, "When did he get at all confident?"
Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
Never looked better and
You can't stand it

Next is a trip to the, the ladies room in vain and
I bet you just can't keep up with these fashionistas and
Tonight, tonight, you are, you are, a whispering campaign
I bet to them, your name is "Cheap", I bet to them you look like sh--
Talk to the mirror, oh choke back tears
And keep telling yourself that, "I'm a diva."

Oh, and the smokes in that cigarette box on the table
They just so happen to be laced with nitroglycerin

I'm the new cancer, never looked better
You can't stand it
I know because you say so under your breath
You're reading lips, "When did he get at all confident?"
Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
Never looked better and
You can't stand it

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
I've never looked better and you can't stand it
Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
I've never looked better and you can't stand it

And I know, and I know
It just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up
I've never been so surreptitious
So of course I'll be distracted when I spike the punch
And I know, and I know
It just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up
I've never been so surreptitious
So of course I'll be distracted when I spike the punch
And I know, and I know
It just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up
I've never been so surreptitious
So of course I'll be distracted when I spike THE PUNCH!

Hey don't miss out on what your passin
You're missin the hoota of the funky Buddha
Eluder or the ****ed up styles to get wicked
So come on as I start to kick it
Cuz we're like the outlaw stridin
Suckers are hidein
Jump behind the bush when they see me driving
by
Hangin out my window
And my magnum takin out some puto's
Acting kinda loco
I'm just another local
Kid from from the street getting paid for my
vocals
Here is something you can't understand
How I could just kill a man

Chorus: repeat 4X

Here is something you can't understand
How I could just kill a man



I been doin' all the dumb ****,
yo, because I bet it's comin' from it
I'm not gonna waste no time,
****in' around like I got ya hummin
Hummin'... comin' at cha...
And you know I had to gat ya.
Time for some action, just a fraction of friction
I got the clearance to run the interference
into your sattelite, shinin a battle light,
swing out the gat, and I know that will gat ya right.
Here's an example, just a little sample.
How I could just kill a man!
One-time tried to come in my home,
take my chrome, I said "Yo, it's on.
Take cover son, or you're ***-out.
How you like my chrome?", then I watched the rookie pass out.
Didn't have to blast him, but I did anyway...
Hahaha... that young punk had to pay.
So I just killed a man!

Chorus


It's gonna be a long time before I finish
one of the many missions that I have to establish
To light my spliff, ignite ya with these sights
and if you ain't down: ********!
Say some punk try to get you for your auto,
Would you call the one-time, or play the role model?
No, I think you play like a thug
Next hear the shot of a magnum slug
Hummin', comin' at cha
yeah ya know I'm gonna gat ya
How do you know where I'm at when you haven't been where I've been,
understand where I'm coming from.
When you're up on the hill, in your big home
I'm out here, risking my dome.
Just for a bucket, or a fast ducat
just to stay alive, aiyyo I gotta say "**** it".

Here is something you can't understand, How I could just kill a man
Here is something you can't understand, How I could just kill a man
Here is something you can't understand, How I could just kill a man
Here is something you can't understand, How I could just kill a man

Here is something you can't understand,
How I could just kill a man!
Here is something you can't understand,
How I could just kill a man!
Here is something you can't understand,
How I could just kill a man!
Here is something you can't understand,
How I could just kill a man!

Here is something you can't understand,
How I could just kill a man!
Here is something you can't understand,
How I could just kill a man!
Here is something you can't understand,
How I could just kill a man!
Here is something you can't understand,
How I could just kill a man!

How i could just kill a man
How i could just kill a man

[Verse 1]
Wake in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place
There's no escape
I'm my own worst enemy

[Chorus]
I've given up
I'm sick of failing
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the **** is wrong with me!

[Verse 2]
I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared
I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for help somehow somewhere
And no one cares
I'm my own worst enemy

[Chorus]
I've given up
I'm sick of failing
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the **** is wrong with me!

*GOD !!!!!!!!*
PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY
PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY
PUT ME OUT OF MY
PUT ME OUT OF MY ****ING
MISERY..............

[Chorus]
I've given up
I'm sick of failing
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the **** is wrong with me!

D'YA KNOW SOMETHING SCHROEDER?
I THINK THEY WAY YOU PLAY THE PIANO IS NICE.
D'YA KNOW SOMETHING ELSE?
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN MY DREAM,
THAT I'D MARRY A MAN WHO PLAYS THE PIANO.

I'M SURE YOU COULD PLAY SOMETHING NICE
LIKE APRIL SHOWERS.
OR EVEN FRERE JACQUES
BEETHOVEN'S NICE TOO.

JUST IMAGINE...
WHAT WOULD YOU THINK IF SOMEDAY YOU AND I SHOULD GET MARRIED?
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE THAT IF SOME DAY WE TWO SHOULD GET MARRIED.

STURDY ROOF BENEATH MY HEAD.
NOT BAD, NOT BAD AT ALL.

FAITHFUL FRIENDS ALWAYS NEAR ME,
BRING ME BONES, SCRATCH MY EAR.
LITTLE BIRDS COME TO CHEER ME,
EVERY DAY
SITTING HERE
ON MY STOMACH
WITH THEIR SHARP LITTLE CLAWS
WHICH ARE USUALLY COLD
AND OCCASIONALLY PAINFUL,
AND SOMETIMES THERE ARE SO MANY
THAT I CAN HARDLY STAND IT

Rats!

I FEEL EVERY NOW AND THEN THAT I GOTTA BITE SOMEONE.
I KNOW EVERY NOW AND THEN WHAT I WANNA BE,
A FIERCE JUNGLE ANIMAL CROUCHED ON THE LIMB OF A TREE.

I'D STAY VERY, VERY STILL 'TIL I SEE A VICTIM COME.

I WOULD POUNCE.
I'D POUNCE!
I'D POUNCE!!
I'D POU... WOW...WOW WOW. . .

You know, I never realized it was so far down to the ground from up here.

HMMM.
LET ME SEE, WHERE WAS I?
OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
THE PRETTY SKY.
NOT BAD, NOT BAD AT ALL.
COZY HOME, BOARD AND BED,
STURDY ROOF BENEATH MY HEAD.
NOT BAD, NOT BAD AT ALL.
NOT BAD, NOT BAD AT ALL.

I wonder if it will snow tonight. . . Aroooooooooo!

SALLY:
Oh yeah? That's what you think! Oh yeah? That's what you think! Oh yeah? That's what you think! Oh yeah?!? That's what you think!

SCHROEDER:
What?

SALLY:
That's my new philosophy: Oh yeah? That's what you think!

SCHROEDER:
Well, why are you telling me?

SALLY:
Huh?

SCHROEDER:
Why are you telling me?

SALLY:
Why are you telling me? I like it! That's a good philosophy! Why are you telling me? Why are you telling me? Why are you telling me?

WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME?
MY NEW PHILOSOPHY.
THE TEACHER GAVE A 'D' ON LAST WEEK'S HOMEWORK.
SHE SAID, "MISS SALLY BROWN,"
"YOUR GRADES ARE GOING DOWN."
I COULD HAVE TOLD HER

SCHROEDER:
YOUR NEW PHILOSOPHY.

SALLY:
MY NEW PHILOSOPHY.

<”Miss B.?"
"I'm she."
"Look, see?"
"A 'D'?"
"A 'D'."
"Well, why are you telling me?"

AND THAT'S MY NEW PHILOSOPHY.

SCHROEDER:
That's your new philosophy?

SALLY:
Why are you telling me?
MY NEW PHILOSOPHY.

SCHROEDER:
That's great, Sally, but I have to go practice Chopin's "Nocturne in B-flat Minor."

SALLY:
No! I like it! No! That's a good philosophy. No! No! No!

SCHROEDER:
That's your new philosophy, huh?

SALLY:
Yes! -- I mean no!

JUST LIKE A BUSY BEE
EACH NEW PHILOSOPHY
CAN FLY FROM TREE TO TREE
AND KEEP ME MOVING.
WHEN LIFE'S A DIZZY MAZE
ON ALTERNATING DAYS
I CHOOSE A DIFFERENT PHRASE.

SCHROEDER:
YOUR NEW PHILOSOPHY.

SALLY:
MY NEW PHILOSOPHY.

SCHROEDER:
SALLY, SOME PHILOSOPHIES ARE SIMPLE. . .

Man cannot live by breadalone.

SOME PHILOSOPHIES ARE CLEAR.

SALLY:
Leave your message at the sound of the tone. . .?

BOTH:
SOME PHILOSOPHIES PICK AND CHOOSE
DECIDING WHAT GOES IN IT.

SCHROEDER:
SOME TAKE A LIFETIME --

SALLY:
MINE TAKE A MINUTE.

SCHROEDER:
Sally, anything that takes only a minute can't be very lasting. For instance, Beethoven took over two years to complete his brilliant "9th Symphony."

SALLY:
No!

SCHROEDER:
I can't stand it!! (he storms off)

SALLY:
I can't stand it – I like it!

IT'S LIKE A GUARANTEE
MY NEW PHILOSOPHY
AND THINGS ARE SURE TO BE
A WHOLE LOT BRIGHTER.

"Oh yeah... That's what you think... Why are you telling me?... NO... I can't stand it."

NOW LIFE IS FREE AND EASY.
MUCH MORE PHILOSOPH-EASY
WITH MY BRAND NEW...

LUCY:
(She runs across the stage in a panic, shrieking) Ahhhh! This is the last day! I only have twenty-four hours left! Help me! Help me! This is the last day! Ahhhh!

SALLY:
Clearly, some philosophies are not for all people.

AND THAT'S MY NEW PHILOSOPHY!

LUCY:
You're a good man, Charlie Brown.

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Well you've done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon its again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment, maybe sing with me all our peaceful melody
It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Do you want to, come on, scootch over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
so please don't please don't please don't.
There's no need to complicate
'cause our time is short
This oh this oh this is our fate I'm yours

Oh I'm yours

I won't hesitate no more
Oh no more no more no more
It's our God-forsaken right to be loved, I'm sure
Theres no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

No I won't hesitate no more, no more
This cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours, I'm yours
