I'll Be - Edwin McCain

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth

And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
And you're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive, and not dead

And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I`ll be love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And I dropped out, I burned up, I fought my way back from the dead,
I tuned in, I turned on, remembered the thing that you said.

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

The greatest fan of your life

♥

Down - Jay Sean ft. Lil' Wayne

Jay Sean:

Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, down,
Even if the sky is falling down,
Down, down
Ooh (ohhh)

You oughta know, tonight is the night to let it go,
Put on a show, i wanna see how you lose control,

So leave it behind ’cause we, have a night to get away,
So come on and fly with me, as we make our great escape.

So baby don’t worry, you are my only,
You won’t be lonely, even if the sky is falling down,
You’ll be my only, no need to worry,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, Down,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, Down,
Even if the sky is falling down,

Just let it be, come on and bring your body next to me,
I’ll take you away, hey, turn this place into our private getaway,

So leave it behind ’cause we, have a night to get away,
So come on and fly with me, as we make our great escape,

(So why don’t we run away)

So baby don’t worry, you are my only,
You won’t be lonely, even if the sky is falling down,
You’ll be my only, no need to worry,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, Down,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, Down,
Even if the sky is falling down,

Lil' Wayne:

Even if the sky is falling down like she supposed to be,
She gets down low for me,
Down like her temperature, ’cause to me she zero degree,
She cold, overfreeze,
I got that girl from overseas,
Now she my miss America,
now can i be her soldier please,
I’m fighting for this girl,
I’m a battlefield of love,
Don’t it look like baby cupid sent his arrows from above,
Don’t you ever leave the side of me,
Indefinitely, not probably,
and honestly im down like the economy,
Yeahhhhhh

So baby don’t worry, you are my only,
You won’t be lonely, even if the sky is falling down,
You’ll be my only, no need to worry,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, Down,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, Down,
Even if the sky is falling down

Try by Straylight Run

Well, I am just guessing
And I'm doing my best to make some sense out of senselessness
I'm talking to my wife, I'm drinking too much wine
I'm working on words, music and melodies

This is the best, this is the worst
I am the last, I am the first
I'm placing blame and taking credit in a world I can't control

I try to find a way just to say what I'm chasing
Define what I'm making, believe what I'm saying
To fill this space and feel like I belong

I try to find a way just to say what I'm chasing
Define what I'm making, believe what I'm saying
To fill this space and feel like I belong

I feel I have to find some meaning
I don't think I see any
I don't know what it is I see at all
Oh, no one's got it right, yeah
They're just telling lies
Combined with their own special kind of truth

This is the best, this is the worst
I am the last, I am the first
I'm placing blame and taking credit in a world I can't control

I try to find a way just to say what I'm chasing
Define what I'm making, believe what I'm saying
To fill this space and feel like I belong

I try to find a way just to say what I'm chasing
Define what I'm making, believe what I'm saying
To fill this space and feel like I belong

Truth is just opinion
Facts entwined with fiction
Well, I just keep wondering
What is there to believe in?

I try to find a way just to say what I'm chasing
Define what I'm making, believe what I'm saying
To fill this space and feel like I belong

I try to find a way just to say what I'm chasing
(Truth is just opinion)
Define what I'm making, believe what I'm saying
(Fact entwined with opinion)
To fill this space and feel like I belong
(Well, I just keep wondering, what is there to believe in?)

I try to find a way just to say what I'm chasing
Define what I'm making, believe what I'm saying
To fill this space and feel like I belong

Wait And Watch by Straylight Run

I'm gonna wait and watch the world die
I'm gonna wait and watch it die

Once again, the time is right
To look to the past and clear hindsight
To kick yourself for doing what you're told
To smoke up all your medicine
To piss off your last few friends
To become the one with nothing left to be
It's easy

I'm gonna wait and watch the world die
I'm gonna wait and watch it die
Caught in a contract and caught in a vice
No one believes you but you know you're right
I'm gonna wait and watch it die

They say if you don't believe in something
Then you're gonna fall for anything
Well, I'd say if you believe in anything, you've already fallen for something
You've had enough, you've had enough
Well, you can't stop but you can't go on
And no one's gonna miss you when you're gone
So sing another song

I'm gonna wait and watch the world die
I'm gonna wait and watch it die
Caught in a contract and caught in a vice
No one believes you but you know you're right
I'm gonna wait and watch it die

The man on the TV with fear in his eyes
Says we're all just animals trying to survive
The weakest get hunted and eaten alive
We lock all our doors, close our windows up tight
Cower in fear and thank god that we're so civilized

I'm gonna wait and watch the world die
I'm gonna wait and watch it die
Caught in a contract and caught in a vice
No one believes you but you know you're right
I'm gonna wait and watch it die

Ten Ton Shoes from Straylight Run

Living in fear 'cause the world is cold
And hope might be coming but you never know
There are dead end streets around every turn
And a road map too beaten up, torn and burnt to read

Dead weight carried on for miles and miles
And someone's telling jokes but you never smile
As the rows of tombstone houses pass you by
And I say, you say, we say change
But we all know just what they say
The more things change the more they stay the same
They just stay the same

This time it's eating me alive
This time it's eating me alive
This time it's eating me alive

It's a long cold winter in the dead of night
And the candidates are saying they can make it right
And we'll buy almost anything that they sell
Drop dead headlights coming down the road
And we're frozen blind
Believing in a heart of gold that will
Swoop right in and save us from our sins, and save us from our sins

This time it's eating me alive (This time it's eating me alive)
This time it's eating me alive (This time it's eating me alive)
This time it's eating me alive (This time it's eating me alive)
This time it's eating me alive (This time it's eating me alive)
This time

I'm a bug on it's back kicking legs in the air
On a sidewalk in a city somewhere
Seconds from thundering steps and ten ton shoes

I'm a bug on it's back kicking legs in the air
On a sidewalk in a city somewhere
Seconds from thundering steps and ten ton shoes

I'm a bug on it's back kicking legs in the air
(This time it's eating me alive)
On a sidewalk in a city somewhere
(This time it's eating me alive)
Seconds from thundering steps and ten ton shoes
(This time it's eating me alive)

I'm a bug on it's back kicking legs in the air
(This time it's eating me alive)
On a sidewalk in a city somewhere
(This time it's eating me alive)
Seconds from thundering steps and ten ton shoes
(This time it's eating me alive)

I'm a bug on it's back kicking legs in the air
(This time it's eating me alive)
On a sidewalk in a city somewhere
(This time it's eating me alive)
Seconds from...

I Am Waves by Emarosa


My hands live in vain
I won't let go but I'll walk away
I've got this fear of flying
I'll pick myself up off the floor
And I'm still standing
I'm holding on this time
And I won't let you go this time

I'll let it fall apart and watch you tremble
I'm watching the world as they're pulling you down
It's better to believe
I know it's better to believe
Nothing can stop this from happening

Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you need?
I watched you shaking
Calling out for me

Could it get any better
Better to believe
I think it's getting better
Better to agree

Is this what you call home
As you turn it around
I know you'll never mean it
You'll never get the hope that you deserve
It's no surprise that the air keeps you still
On this stable ground that
Once shook so lightly

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Armageddon from Emarosa


Far away from somewhere
I'd like to call it close to you
The problem is
I've finally found a reason

I'm hoping that you're safe now
That you've found your way out
Truth is the silence can't speak for you
There's too much to say
But words aren't enough to speak for

You can't forget all these things that you know
This is the day of your reckoning
(Pray for your life)
And I watched you create all of your shame
I know of a place that can
Save you from the things you fear

No one will hear the things you say
I know the things that you need

I won't be the one to pull you up, to pull you up
Will you find your way back home
When everything you know is gone
Tell me I'm the one who missed you here
What have I become
I try so hard just to forget

Before the crowd of a silent mouth
Like air in a dream of drowning
You'll find yourself inside this moment
And confess that you're at war
With what keeps you breathing

You're holding your thoughts back to
Keep you from speaking the words
you know you can't mean in the end
If this is what you want
Then this is what you'll get
I watched you fall to your knees as the waves
Came tumbling down crashing upon
This wreckless abandoned
Hope that you painted
Inside of this life you live

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Utah from Emarosa


Consider this picture perfect sweet sorrow
You've never been wrong before
Never been wrong before, never been wrong before
As much you wait, time won't wait for you
As much you wait, I won't wait for you

Let me fly, let me fly, let me fly
Let me fly and pull away from you, from you
You're always right, you're always right, you're always right
You're always right, you're always right, you're always right

Time won't wait for you, you

You're always right, so let me fight
You're always right, so let me fight
You're always right, so let me fight and pull away from you
And I said, I would try for you, for you
This time tonight, this time tonight
This time tonight, I won't die

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Casablanca from Emarosa


I'm watching the sky turn from black to the grey
And this is the end I know we're not afraid
Surrender your hands it's too late to let go
We're still breathing, don't stop breathing
The ground is falling under my feet
We're still around here
We're fading with time
There's no fear, open your eyes
We're standing still now
We're going nowhere
It's not too late to crawl it's not too late to...

Reach the end I'll meet you there
In a world that never let you in
In a world where you found grace
I watched the water pull you in
(As it carries you away)

I know you let me fall on my own
There's no reason to abandon here

Open your eyes and witness the power
Of a place that's lost control
His creation at its finest
It's what we call our home

My life passes by as the sky starts to fade
If this is the end I know I'm not afraid
The meaning of this is becoming so clear
Prepare for the worst this is going to be hell

I know you won't be there I fall alone
Tell me why I am still standing here

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Epoch Coda by Emarosa

This time we heal the wounded
We fail again
I'm falling down with regret
Look away from everything
And tell me what you see
There's no coming back from here

Everything I'll ever be I am
Everything I ever was
Look away from everything I am
It's all around me

And I'm not looking back
Where everything was so familiar
But so far away, so far away

Oh my there is no ending
I can't escape from this anymore
Oh God there's no way out of here
The walls are closing in
Everything I've ever loved is gone
Take this for what it's worth
I've found there is no meaning
This is the end of me
And I'm not holding back
The worst is over
The worst is over
There's no tomorrow
This is your way out

My God you lost a world you tried to make us love
We haven't seen the world
Since you took our bodies and led them, and led them
And led them to the skies
As it carries us away, as it carries us away, carries us away
I can feel his hands as they pull me in
By your grace God let me fly, let me fly, let me fly
By your grace let me fly
Set me free
Let me fly
By your grace let me fly
By your grace let me fly
God let, let me fly

Shadetree Mechanics by The Bled


Collect your bones
Hey did you hear the news
The boy's back in town and he reeks of the blues
Warm welcome home
To the bitter truth
So someone spiked the drinks
With bad blood tonight
The venom takes control
I'm kicking down the door
So **** the invite

Spare me the small talk
'Cause every second the price on my head grows
I'm dodging bullets from a gun man who everybody knows

And I can hear you calling out
But it's a waste of your time
And I just can't bring myself
To slap a mouth that never shouts
So raise your glasses one more time
May the best man overdose on pride

I could destroy you
But not in these shoes
You lack the stones to be more than a metaphor
I saw this coming
Slow as an avalanche
Here's some advice for you
Next time make sure you put at least two bullets in the head

So make this your last mistake
This is not a cheap shot
It cost an arm and a leg
So please give me something to shake
Something to lean on something to shatter or break

And I can hear you calling out
But it's a waste of your time
And I just can't bring myself
To slap a mouth that never shouts
I heard that you were calling out
But it's a waste of your time
May the best man overdose on pride

So go ahead state your name
Next time there will be no next time
Next time there will be no
Next time there will be no next time
Next time there will be no

You Should Be Ashamed Of Myself by The Bled


Welcome to the end of the night, where everyone reeks of stale smoke, dirty jokes
Stop me if you've heard this one
The ransoms over, where's my cut, cut, cut, cut?
Skewered on an open flame I bought you off the spit
Pose for me, pose for me
Dance around the switchblade gash
We're all born fresh, but now we rot, rot, rot, rot

I'm the ******* kid of a dead-beat town
You're just what I need to bring me down
I've got enough strength for one more round
Does that sound good to you?
It sounds good to me, baby
I'm the lucky son of a ***** you need to keep alive your losing streak
I've got one more trick up my sleeve
Does that work for you?
Well it works for me, baby

And you can't tear your eyes away 'cause she's got such a pretty face
And one filthy ****ing mind
I will wait outside the gates
And I won't leave 'til you show me what's on the inside
I can't shake this lack of sleep
It feasts on me
'Til you show me what's on the inside

I'm the ******* kid of a dead-beat town
You're just what I need to bring me down
I've got enough strength for one more round
Is that good for you?
Well it's good for me, baby
Our mothers sleep with lottery dreams
Our fathers built the pyramid schemes
Nothing is ever what it seems
But it works for you
'Cause it works for me

You just had yourself a taste of how sweet the life could be if you could just leave yours behind

Threes Away by The Bled


The plague
It came and stole my good fortune away
It's not the end, it's just judgement day
Crossed off the list
I must have some nerve
How could I show my face around here ever again

And it's not worth the silence
And it's not worth a friend
They say these things happen in threes

I braved the streets with 1, 2, 3 sheets to the wind
I'll see this one through 'til the credits begin
It's worse inside
All the soldiers wives are wearing red
I hang my head on what could've been, could've been, couldn't be

And I was graced and forgiven
Now I'm given a second chance to fall
Given a second chance
And I was graced and forgiven
Now I'd give it all away
So hopefully I am safe for now

I'm to blame, I'll admit it
Now I'm given a second chance to fall
I'm given a second a chance
And I was graced and forgiven
Now I'm given a second chance to fall but it's just like the other ones
I know I'll just **** it up

And it's not worth the silence
And it's not worth a friend
They say these things happen in threes

This is the dream that haunts your sleepless nights
You try to scream but can't escape the crushed windpipe
I'm so easy to attach, you're so eager to amputate
This is the one false move I made
That left me cursing the day I stopped at all to breathe
Pour yourself into this night
I've been holding out for this, all my life
Pour yourself into this night
I've been holding out for this, all my life

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Asleep On The Frontlines by The Bled


We'll keep on talking this out
But I've already made up your mind
I've been trying to gnaw through my tongue
To stop from confessing my crimes
And this conversation is wearing me down
What did my patience prove
If it's just another bed of nails?
Always the silent treatment
Always the easy way out alive

If there's no further questions I'll be on my way back home

Well it's just another sharp pain and it doesn't hurt like it used to
When I was a desperate man
When I still believed in the meaning of the word

You tried to warn me
You and your consequences
If I am outnumbered
If I am defenseless
If I come here unarmed
In the middle of the night, on my own
Standing on the front lines, I will die

If you invite me down
If it'll please the crowd
And I only go through this for your amusement
But it doesn't hurt like it should when you're throwing your stones around throwing your stones around
I'm alone, I am so alone trying to sleep it off
But it's hard not to shake at the sound of it breaking
When you're living in a house of mirrors reflecting all of my failures
I will concede to my replacement
Congratulations
It's over and over and over again
It's over and over and over again
I was in for the long run when you cut me down
Another sharp pain
A servant to your throne

Always the silent treatment
Always the stubborn child
I kept my mouth shut tight
I kept my mouth shut tight
Always the one that got away
Always the silent treatment
I only have myself to blame
Always the silent treatment
Always the stubborn child
I only have myself to blame
I only have myself to blame
Always the silent treatment
Always the stubborn child
I kept my mouth shut tight
I kept my mouth shut tight

Platonic Sleepover Massacre by The Bled


You tried to cover your tracks
But I caught on to you
They found your ear in a jar, your bones in a bag, in the back of the room
They pulled the snakes off your flesh, they were hungry for more
Hungry for more, hungry for more
You have had your last
All your sins are cleansed
No reason for you to go on
I put you to rest

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Starving Artiste by The Bled


I made a pact to not sleep through the end
All of the dreamers are stuck in their beds
Fight off the attraction to always play dead
I'm tortured by white noise in half hour sets
Ears ringing
Your mouth ran for miles but hasn't gone anywhere
You're lost
I heard the word on the street and it means nothing to me
So how do you like me now?
Where's your passion?
The Renaissance man is a thing of the past
To you it's fashion
Dress up; don't address what keeps us from resting
The jackals circle for the feast
I try to fight it off, but it's consuming me
The rapture has only begun (while you sleep, they watch you breathing)
And you can bet it gets worse when the moon crashes into the sun (while you dream, both ends are burning)
Pray for one more chance (they will steal air from your lungs)
In the back of the hearse, overturned as your insides prolapse (wake before, before it's too ****ing late)
Everyone has a skeleton key
And everyone rots in captivity
And everyone is sleeping off the heat
You shut the blinds as they cauterize what lives inside
You shut the blinds as they cauterize what lives inside

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

The Silver Lining by The Bled


Battered and courageous
All eyes on you
We made you some kind of God of war
On your back awaiting constant salivation
Straight from the snuff film cutting room floor
Shot by shot cry out, "I've had enough"
The picture's not done 'til you lose a pint of blood

This is what I found in the wake
The message was scratched on the face of his grave
It goes: We will find the silver lining and make this our own
It goes: We will find the silver lining and make this our home

Where'd that pretty smile go?
You put it in a box and left it on the side of the road
Thanks for nothing
You watched the ball drop
Then made a wish on a burnt out star
Hey when'd you lose control?
You woke up one day with swine all over your shore
We committed our army to you
Fearless leader, come see this through

Far from prophetic
No promise came true
We lost control, we lost control
Your name conjures an image of defeat
We lost control, we lost control

This is what I found in the wake
The message was scratched on the face of his grave
It goes: We will find the silver lining and make this our own
It goes: We will find the silver lining and make this our home

We lost control, we lost control, we lost control, we lost control

Some Just Vanish by The Bled


When you find me pinned beneath the wreckage
Call off your sirens
Call off your search
Everything is quiet on fire
Everything is warm
Inside the glow
With television static, with engines purring
Let me sleep
One by one will my friends leave my side, or will my plane just drop out of the sky?

I can't afford to sleep through, the virus hard at work
It's called me out, it's called me out
This body will collapse
Useless to the world
One sudden drop
One by one as my senses fade away
Tied to machines that feed signals to my brain
This is the end
The doctor draws a blade
With patient hands, he writes his name in Braille

I can't slow my breathing down when I'm staring at the floor
Underneath the threat of giving in, I give it all once more
Quietly dissolving under lights that call me home
I can hear the voices and the voices trailing off

Someone is shutting me down
Someone is shoving me underneath waves of lead
I wasn't strong enough to swim back up to the surface to find you, to find you
This is how it begins
Quietly counting backwards from ten
Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three
But I can't concentrate on anything

No one can save me
I'm not even here
I am drifting from consciousness into oblivion
Someone is shutting me down

Breathing Room Barricades by The Bled


And then there was one
With a sharpened grin
A home I was never meant to find
The wound was exposed and I fell in
A curse I was blessed with as a child
And I spent my life waiting for this
I knew I even bore the mark around my wrist
And I feel like this could be enough
And I feel like this could be the one, this could be the one

Raise your palms to me
And let me show you where our lines collide
Graze the scalp and see
And show me where you think they placed that tracking device
It's so contagious
You can't escape from me, you can't run
They're hot on your trail
They're hunting you down for a lock of your hair
And they shot you on the space between your wings
They tied your limbs and made you sing
What makes you so evasive?
You won't escape from me
We've lost communication
These words will dissipate
I've scoured through this wasteland
You are a mystery
And I caught you right before you fled

If I could breathe in your air
Then I'd believe what you said
If I could see what you see
Then I would never have left

I picked apart all the clues that I found
I stood out, I stood out for you to show yourself
I picked apart all the clues that I found
I stood out, I stood out for you to show yourself
We can forget everything we've become
It's not far, it's not far until the oxygen
We can forget everything we've become
It's not far, it's not far
Show me what's in store
Locked beneath trap doors

For every plot unrevealed
You counted my scars and made me sing
Every note, every secret forced me back into lucidity
And you proved to us, you proved to me

If I could breathe in your air
Then I'd believe what you said
If I could see what you see
Then I would never have left

Suffer the distance between
We'll douse our words in kerosene
Suffer, leave something for me
We'll burn them all until we make this true
We'll burn them all until we make this true
And I'll, I'll clip my wings and give it all to you
I'll clip my wings and give it all to you
