Desperate - David Archuleta

You're reaching out, and no one hears you cry
You're freaking out again, cause all your fears remind you
And all the dream has come undone
You feel so small, then lost that you're the only one
You wanna scream, cause you're desperate

You want somebody, just anybody
To lay their hands on your soul tonight
You want a reason to keep believing
That someday you're gonna see the light

You're in the dark, there's no one left to call
Your sleep's your only friend
But even sleep can't hide you
From all those tears and all the pain
And all the days you wasted pushing them away
It's your life, it's time to face it

You want somebody, just anybody
To lay their hands on your soul tonight
You want a reason to keep believing
That someday you're gonna see the light

Cause you're desperate, desperate
Desperate, desperate
Cause you're desperate, desperate
Now

You know that things has got to change
You can't go back, you'll find your way
And day by day, you start to come alive

You want somebody, just anybody
To bring some peace to your soul tonight
You want a reason to keep believing
That someday you're gonna see the light

You want somebody, just anybody
To lay their hands on your soul tonight
You want a reason to keep believing
That someday you're gonna see the light

To Be With You - David Archuleta

I've been alone so many nights now,
And I've been waitin' for the stars to fall.
I keep holdin' out for what I don't know
To be with you, just to be with you.

So here I am staring at the moon tonight,
Wondering how you look in this light.
Maybe you're somewhere thinkin' about me too.
To be with you, there's nothing I wouldn't do,

And I can't imagine two worlds spinnin' apart,
Come together eventually.

And when we finally meet, I'll know it's right,
I'll be at the end of my restless road.
But this journey, it was worth the fight.
To be with you, just to be.

Holding you for the very first time, never letting go (never letting go)
What I wouldn't give to feel that way.
Ooohh

Oh, to be with you.

Oh, and I can't imagine two worlds spinnin' apart
Come together eventually.

And when you're standin' here in front of me,
That's when I know that God does exist.
'Cause He will have answered every single prayer.
To be with you, just to be with you, yeah.

You

Angels - David Archuleta

I sit and wait, does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know, the places where we go
When we're grey and old
'Cause I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all
She offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all
She offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
I'm loving angels instead
Ohhh, oh yeah

And through it all
She offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

Ocean Breathes Salty by Modest Mouse


Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in
In my head, in my heart, in my soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again
Well, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Don't think so

Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me
You get away from me

Collected my belongings and I left the jail
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I had to think a while
I had to think a while

The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old
Well, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I hope so

Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you want you get
You get away from me (get away from me)
You get away from me

Collected my belongings and I left the jail
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I had to think a while (I had to think a while)
I had to think a while

Well, that is this and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky

(You missed, you missed)
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye
(You missed)
When the earth folded in on itself

(You missed)
And said,"Good luck
For your sake I hope heaven and hell
(You missed, you missed)
Are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath"

(You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
(You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, when wouldn't you waste death?

The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind
Well, I don't mind, I don't mind, how the hell could I mind?

Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me (get away from me)
You get away from me

Well, that is that and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky
(You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?

Float On by Modest Mouse


I backed my car into a cop car the other day
Well, he just drove off, sometimes life's okay
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh, what did I say?
Well, you just laughed it off, it was all okay

And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on anyway

Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam
It was worth it just to learn some sleight of hand
Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on exactly the same day
Well, we'll float on, good news is on the way

[?]

And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on, okay
And we'll all float on

Alright, already, we'll all float on
No, don't you worry, we'll all float on
Alright, I'm ready we'll all float on
Alright, don't worry, we'll all float on

Alright, already, and we'll all float on
Alright, already, we'll all float on
Alright, don't worry, even if things end up a bit too heavy
We'll all float on

Alright, already, we'll all float on alright
[?]
Alright, already, we'll all float on
(But why float on, oh no...) [?]
Okay, don't you worry, we'll all float on
(And even if, and even if...) [?]
Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on

Alright, already, we'll all float on
(Alright)
Don't you worry, we'll all float on
(Alright)
We'll all float on

Bury Me With It by Modest Mouse


We were shootin' at a mound of dirt.
Well, nothing was broken, nothing was hurt.
But I probably really should have been at work.
But if my freetime's gone, would you promise me this?

That you will please bury me with it!?
Please bury me with it!

Well sure as planets come, I know that they end.
And if I'm here when that happens,
Will promise me this my friend?

Please bury me with it!
I just don't need none of that Mad Max ********.

Well, the suit got tight and it split at the seams.
But I kept it out of habit and I kept it really clean.
But if it's gettin' faded, if it's runnin' outta thread.
Could you just do this for me my friend?

And please just please bury me with it!?
Please bury me with it!

Well, we moved to the left and we moved to the right.
And sure as hell we stayed out almost every single night.
But if the party's over, if the fun has to end,
Could you do this for me my friend?

Would you just please bury me with it!?
Please bury me with it!

Good news for people who love bad news.
We've lost the plot and we just can't choose.
We are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move.
And there's good news for people who love bad news.
We are hummingbirds who've lost the plot and we will not move.
We have good news for anyone who loves bad news.

We were aiming for the moon.
We were shooting at the stars.
But the kids were just shooting at the buses and cars.
So don't drink the water, don't you breathe the air.
If it's gotten to that point then I have to declare:

That you please bury me with it!
Please bury me with it!

Well, fads they come and fads they go.
And God I love the rock and roll!
Well, the point was fast but it was too blunt to miss.
Life handed us a paycheck, we said,
"We worked harder than this!"

Please bury me with it!
Please bury me with it!

(Oh **** now) [?]
[?]

We are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move.
[?]
And there's good news for people who love bad news.
[?]
We are hummingbirds who've lost the plot and we will not move.
[?]
We have good news for anyone who loves bad news.

I have too much to say.

I'm gonna dance all Dance Hall every day.
I'm gonna dance all Dance Hall every day.

I'm gonna tell you what you want to hear anyways.

'Cause I got some beans to spill.

I'm gonna dance all Dance Hall every day.
I'm gonna dance all Dance Hall every day.

Committing crimes running down the alley.
I am the captain and you are in the galley!

I'm gonna dance all Dance Hall every day.
I'm gonna dance all Dance Hall every day.
I'm gonna dance all Dance Hall every day.
I'm gonna Dance Hall dance all night long right now!

Bukowski by Modest Mouse


Woke this morning and it seemed to me,
That every night turns out to be a little bit more like Bukowski.
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read.
But God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an *******?
God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an *******?

Well we sat on the edge of the river,
The crowd screamed, "Sacrifice the liver!"
If God takes life, he's an Indian giver.
So tell me now why, you'll tell me never.
Who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?

Well, see what you wanna see.
You should see it all.
Well, take what you want from me.
You deserve it all.
Nine times out of ten,
Our hearts just get dissolved.
Well, I want a better place or just a better way to fall.
But one time out of ten,
Everything is perfect for us all.
Well, I want a better place or just a better way to fall.

Here we go!
If God controls the land and disease,
Keeps a watchful eye on me,
If he's really so damn mighty,
My problem is that I can't see,
Well who'd wanna be?
Who'd wanna be such a control freak?
Well who'd wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?

Evil home stereo,
What good songs do you know?
Evil me, oh yeah, I know,
What good curves can you throw?

Well, all that icing and all that cake,
I can't make it to your wedding, but I'm sure I'll be at your wake.
You were talk, talk, talk, talking in circles that day,
When you get to the point make sure that I'm still awake, okay?

Went to bed and didn't see why every day turns out to be a little bit more like Bukowski.
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read.
But God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an *******?

This Devil's Workday by Modest Mouse


All those people that you know.
All those people that you know.
All those people that you know,
Floatin' in the river are logs.

I could buy myself a reason.
I could sell myself a job.
I could hang myself on treason.
All the folks I know are gone.

All the people that you know.
All the people that you know.
All the people that you know floatin' in the river are logs.

So I ate the wedding cake 'til the whole damn thing was gone.
And I'm gonna drown the ocean.
Now ain't none o' that so wrong?

All the people that you know.
All those people that you know.
All those people that you know floatin' in the river are gone.

Gonna take this sack of puppies.
Gonna set it out to freeze.
Gonna climb around on all fours 'til all the blood falls out my knees.

All the people that you know.
All the people that you know.
All those people that you know floatin' in the river are logs.

Well, let's take this potted plant to the woods and set it free.
I'm gonna tell the owners just how nice that was of me.

I could buy myself a reason.
I could sell myself a job.
I could hang myself on treason.
For I am my own damn god.
HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA.

The View by Modest Mouse


Your gun went off.
Well, you shot off your mouth and look where it got you.
My mouth runs on too.

Shouts from both sides,
"Well, we've got the land but they've got the view!"
Well now here's a clue.

Life, it rents us.
And yeah, I hope it put plenty on you.
Well I hope mine did too.

As life gets longer, awful feels softer.
Well, it feels pretty soft to me.
And if it takes **** to make bliss,
Then I feel pretty blissfully.

Your gun went off.
Well, you shot off your mouth and look where it got you.
My mouth runs on too.

Shouts from both sides,
"Well, we've got the land but they've got the view!"
Well now here's the clue.

We are fixed right where we stand.
Life, it rents us.
And yeah I hope it put plenty on you.
Well I hope mine did too.
We are fixed right where we are.

As life gets longer, awful feels softer.
Well, it feels pretty soft to me.
And if it takes **** to make bliss,
Well I feel pretty blissfully.

For every invention made how much time did we save?
We're not much farther than we were in the cave.

As life gets longer, awful feels softer,
And it feels pretty soft to me.
And if it takes **** to make bliss,
Well, I feel pretty blissfully.
If life's not beautiful without the pain,
Well, I'd just rather never ever even see beauty again.
Well, as life gets longer, awful feels softer.
And it feels pretty soft to me.

For every good deed done there is a crime committed.
We are fixed.
For every step ahead we could have just been seated.
We are fixed.

As life gets longer, awful feels softer.
[?]
Well, it feels pretty soft to me.
(We are fixed.)
And if it takes **** to make bliss,
Well I feel pretty blissfully.
(We are fixed.)

We are fixed.
We are fixed.
We are fixed right where we stand.

Satin In A Coffin by Modest Mouse


You were laying on the carpet like you're satin in a coffin.
You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?"
Yeah right now, but not that often.

Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God, I sure hope you are dead.

Well you disappeared so often like you dissolved into coffee.
Are you here right now or are there probably fossils under your meat?

Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God, I sure hope you are dead.

Now the blow's been softened,
Since the air we breathe's our coffin.
Well now the blow's been softened,
Since the ocean is our coffin.
Often times you know our laughter is your coffin ever after.

And you know the blow's been softened,
Since the world is our coffin.
And now the blow's been softened,
Since we are our own damn coffins.
Well, everybody's talkin' about their short lists.
Yeah, everybody's talkin' about death.

You were laying on the carpet like you're satin in a coffin.
You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?"
Yeah right now, but not that often.

Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God, I sure hope you are dead.

Blame It On The Tetons by Modest Mouse


Blame it on the Tetons.
Yeah, I need a scapegoat now.
No my dog won't bite you, though it had the right to.
You oughta give her credit 'cause she knows I would've let it happen.

Blame it on the weekends.
God I need a cola now.
Oh we mumble loudly, wear our shame so proudly.
Wore our blank expressions, trying to look interesting.
Blame it all on me 'cause God I need a cold one now.

All them eager actors gladly taking credit for the lines created by the people tucked away from sight is just a window from the room we're bound to.
If you find a way out, oh would you just let me know how?
Would you just let me know how?

Blame it on the web but the spider's your problem now.
Language is for liquid that we're all dissolved in.
Great for solving problems,
After it creates a problem.

Blame it on the Tetons.
God, I need a scapegoat now.

Everyone's a building burning with no one to put the fire out.
Standing at the window looking out, waiting for time to burn us down.
Everyone's an ocean drowning, with no one really to show how.
They might get a little better air if they turn themselves into a cloud.

Black Cadillacs by Modest Mouse


And it's true we named our children after towns that we've never been to.
And it's true that the clouds just hung around like black Cadillacs outside a funeral.

And we were done, done, done with all the ****, ****, ****in' around.
You were so true to yourself.
You were true to no one else.
Well, I should put you in the ground.

I've got the time, I got the hours, I got the days, I got the weeks.
I could say to myself I've got the words but I can't speak.
Well I was done, done, done with all the circ, circ, circlin' round.

I didn't die and I ain't complainin'.
I ain't blamin' you.
I didn't know that the words you said to me meant more to me than they ever could you?

I didn't lie and I ain't sayin' I told the whole truth.
I didn't know that this game we were playin' even had a set of rules.

We named our children after towns that we've never been to.
And it's true that the clouds just hung around like black Cadillacs outside a funeral.

And we were laughing at the stars while our feet clung tight to the ground.
So pleased with ourselves for using so many verbs and nouns.
But we were all still just dumb, dumb, dumber than the dirt, dirt, dirt on the ground.

Well, wings on flames, kings with no names, well this place just ain't got air right now.
You were so all over town but still Crayola brown.
Well you should run 'round yourself right now.
And we were done, done, done with all the ****, ****, ****in' around.
Circlin' round.

One Chance by Modest Mouse


We have one chance.
One chance to get everything right.
We have one chance, one chance.
And if we're lucky we might.

My friends, my habits, my family, they mean so much to me.
I just don't think that it's right.
I've seen so many ships sail in,
Just to head back out again and go off sinking.

I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box of mistakes.

Didn't mean to laugh, didn't know I had.
Didn't know the better part of what you said 'cause in your head you are not home.
Didn't get the joke.
Didn't mean to poke another, just to save myself from some something something or another one.
Well, walk home.

I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box, just a box in a cage.
I'm just a box in a cage.

We have one chance, one chance to get everything right.
My friends, my habits, my family, they mean so much to me.
I just don't think that it's right.
I've seen so many ships sail in, just to head back out again and go off sinking.

The Good Times Are Killing Me by Modest Mouse

[speaking]


The good times are killing me.
Here we go!
Got dirt, got air, got water and I know you can carry on.
Shrug off shortsighted false excitement and oh what can I say?
Have one, have twenty more "one mores" and oh it does not relent.
The good times are killing me.
Kick butt buzz-cut ****heads who didn't like what I said.
The good times are killing me.
Jaws clenched tight we talked all night, oh, but what the hell did we say?
The good times are killing me.
The good times are killing me.
The good times are killing me.
Fed up with all that LSD.
Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamines.
Late nights with warm, warm whiskey.
I guess the good times they were all just killing me.
Got dirt, got air, got water and I know you can carry on.
The good times are killing me.
Enough hair of the dog to make myself an entire rug.
The good times are killing me.
Have one, have twenty more "one mores" and oh it does not relent.
The good times are killing me.
****-kicker city slickers who all wanted me dead.
The good times are killing me.
Get sucked in and stuck in late nights with more folks I don't know.
The good times are killing me.
The good times are killing me.
(The good times are killing me.)
The good times are killing me.
(The good times are killing me.)
The good times are killing me.
The good times are killing me.
(The good times are killing me.)
The good times are killing me.
The good times are killing me.
The good times are killing me.
The good times are killing me.

Beauty Through Broken Glass from Eyes Set To Kill (Give You My All on Reach...only one word in the song is different, lol. I need When Silence Is Broken The Night Is Torn...!)


Glass hailed from the sky tonight
I couldn't hide to save my life.
Standing drenched from open wounds.
You took my hand, and pulled me through.

I want to give you everything
I'll give you my all because you gave me
You gave me your lips
a gentle kiss
the medicine to cure my pain

Listen to all this glass shatter.
It once pierced my ears and made them bleed.
Now sounds so beautiful
'Cause you're beautiful.
You're beautiful.

I want to give you everything
I'll give you my all because you gave me
You gave me your lips
a gentle kiss
the medicine to cure my pain

I want to give you everything
I'll give you my all because you gave me
You gave me your lips
a gentle kiss
the medicine to cure my pain

Pure White Lace by Eyes Set To Kill


Always forgive,
never forget
It's just like me to pretend
and give into her every need
showing no signs of defeat
Thirsting for you,
Thirsting for the tears you cry
Waiting for you,
Waiting for your pleading cries
Don't be blinded by her
Don't be blinded; its disguise
Don't be blinded by her eyes
Skin so soft and pure white lace
Beauty takes control of you
Don't be blinded by her eyes
Don't be blinded its disguise
She'll suck every inch of life from deep inside of you.
Her burning passion for hate takes control of you
every inch of light from deep inside
my only regret lies in all the nights
spine removed from back,
faced down on the floor.
I offered her my heart,
but still she wanted more
Skin so soft
Beauty is only skin deep.
Pure white lace;
is enough to cut through,
exposing what's beneath
Thirsting for the tears you cry at night
For something
For something to satisfy her life
She's waiting
Thirsting for the tears you cry at night
She's waiting for something more from me
My heart's not big enough for the both, for the both of us
My heart's not big enough for the both, for the both of us

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here, and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here, and I fall into myself
This truth drives me
Into madness

I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

[Chorus:]
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep, never die)

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be
Blinded by tears

I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

[Chorus]

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me
Shall I give in?
Upon my end shall I begin?
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet the end

[Chorus x3]

Servatis a periculum [save us from danger]
Servatis a maleficum [save us from evil]

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Hold on to me, love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was "I love you"
And I'm not afraid

Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight

I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)

I know you hear me
I can taste it in your tears

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight

Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you here
But still you wake and know the truth
No one's there

Say goodnight
Don't be afraid
Calling me, calling me, as you fade to black

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight
