Post song lyrics that are important to me

It kills me not to know this but I’ve all but just forgotten
What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten
There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true when I’m constantly failing you
Like walls that we just can’t break through until we disappear

So tell me now
If this ain’t love then how do we get out?
Because I don’t know
That’s when she said I don’t hate you boy
I just want to save you while there’s still something left to save
That’s when I told her I love you girl
But I’m not the answer to the questions that you still have

But the day pressed on like crushing weights
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days
That deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand
Now do you understand?

So tell me now
If this ain’t love then how do we get out?
Because I don’t know
That’s when she said I don’t hate you boy
I just want to save you while there’s still something left to save
That’s when I told her I love you girl
But I’m not the answer to the questions that you still have

1000 miles away
There’s nothing left to say
But so much left that I don’t know
We never had a choice
This world is too much noise
It takes me under
It takes me under once again
I don’t hate you
I don’t hate you

So tell me now
If this ain’t love then how do we get out?
Because I don’t know
That’s when she said I don’t hate you boy
I just want to save you while there’s still something left to save
That’s when I told her I love you girl
But I’m not the answer to the questions that you still have

I don’t hate you
I don’t hate you, no

To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines
We toss and turn but don’t sleep
Each breath we take makes us thieves
Like causes without rebels
Just talk but promise nothing else

We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
Though sometimes dreams just don’t come true
We wait to reap what we are due

To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away
And the blare of the sirens combing the streets
Chased down like dogs we run from
Your grasp until the sun comes up

We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
Though sometimes dreams just don’t come true
Look now at what they’ve done to you

White needles buried in the red
The engine roars and then it gives
But never dies
‘Cuz we don’t live
We just survive
On the scraps that you throw away

I won’t crawl on my knees for you
I won’t believe the lies that hide the truth
I won’t sweat one more drop for you
‘Cuz we are the rust upon your gears
We are the insects in your ears
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl… all over you

We sow the seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are due
Under this sky no longer blue,
We bring a dawn long overdue
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl… all over you

every time the corporate news brings me down,
every time ten people instead of ten thousand turn up to a protest,
every time another good man or woman crosses a picket line in front of me,
Instead of cracking a bottle I throw on a punk album,
and get off my arse and go do it all again till the day the world changes.

Seems every station on the TV
is selling something no one can be
If every page was torn from the magazine
would cash still drive the media machine?
The products, damage and pursuit are endless
identity can leave you selfless

We will not witness this anymore
This is the end for you my friend
I can’t forgive, I won’t forget
on and on, we sing our songs and
on and on, the wars wage on and
on and on, we sing our songs for more
for more

Your eyes are open but you can’t see
your mouth is moving but you don’t speak
a blitzkrieg of images to break your will
I hope you choke on every pill

We will not witness this anymore
This is the end for you my friend
I can’t forgive, I won’t forget
on and on, we sing our songs and
on and on, the wars wage on and
on and on, we sing our songs for more

We will not witness this anymore
This is the end for you my friend
I can’t forgive, I won’t forget…

This is the end for you my friend
I can’t forgive, I won’t forget
On and on, we sing our songs and
On and on, the wars wage on and
On and on, we sing our songs and
On and on, the wars wage on and
On and on, we sing our songs and
On and on, your wars wage on and
On and on, we sing our songs for more
We sing our songs for more

Well the moon is broken
And the sky is cracked
Come on up to the house
The only things that you can see
Is all that you lack
Come on up to the house

All your cryin don’t do no good
Come on up to the house
Come down off the cross
We can use the wood
Come on up to the house

CHORUS
Come on up to the house
Come on up to the house
The world is not my home
I’m just a passin’ thru
Come on up to the house

There’s no light in the tunnel
No irons in the fire
Come on up to the house
And your singin lead soprano
In a junkman’s choir
You gotta come on up to the house

Does life seem nasty, brutish and short
Come on up to the house
The seas are stormy
And you can’t find no port
Come on up to the house
There’s nothin in the world

(Chorus)
there’s nothin in the world
that you can do
you gotta come on up to the house
and you been whipped by the forces
that are inside you
come on up to the house
well you’re high on top
of your mountain of woe
come on up to the house
well you know you should surrender
but you can’t let go
you gotta come on up to the house
(Chorus)

No they won’t miss you when you’re gone
When your heart stops beating and pumping blood
Pull the pin, light the fuse, this song’s the smartest bomb..

You make your own choices and decisions,
You are invulnerable to influences
SIT DOWN, LINE UP, KNUCKLE DOWN, SHUT UP
An electrifying organized crime,
With planes and boats and suicide
SIT DOWN, LINE UP, KNUCKLE DOWN, SHUT UP

You’re so in control
You’re so disposable

30 second spot, real life video game
Memory erased, magnet over tape
SIT DOWN-LINE UP-KNUCKLE DOWN-SHUT UP
Get psyched up listen to Godsmack
Dip you toes in the sands of Iraq
SIT DOWN-LINE UP-KNUCKLE DOWN-SHUT UP

You’re so in control
You’re so disposable

They won’t miss you when you’re gone
When your heart stops beating and pumping blood
Pull the pin, light the fuse, this song’s the smartest bomb

You’re so in control
You’re so disposable

They won’t miss you when you’re gone
When your heart stops beating and pumping blood
Pull the pin, light the fuse, this song’s the smartest bomb

Every day we’ve been taught to follow
Every day lettered to live one way
There is no one left to acknowledge
There is nothing left to say
Every day we’ve been taught to follow
Every day lettered to live one way
There is nothing left to mention
There is nothing left to say

KILL TONIGHT
Will you follow?
[x8]

No they won’t miss you when you’re gone
When your heart stops beating and pumping blood
Pull the pin, light the fuse, this song’s the smartest bomb

I’m not like everybody else

I won’t take all that they hand me down,
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown,
And I won’t take it all lying down,
‘Cause once I get started I go to town.

‘Cause I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else.

And I don’t want to ball about like everybody else,
And I don’t want to live my life like everybody else,
And I won’t say that I feel fine like everybody else,
‘Cause I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else.

But darling, you know that I love you true,
Do anything that you want me to,
Confess all my sins like you want me to,
There’s one thing that I will say to you,
I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else.

I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else
And I don’t want to ball about like everybody else,
And I don’t want to live my life like everybody else,
And I won’t say that I feel fine like everybody else,
‘Cause I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else.

Like everybody else,
Like everybody else,
Like everybody else,
Like everybody else.

If you all want me to settle down,
Slow up and stop all my running ‘round,
Do everything like you want me to,
There’s one thing that I will say to you,
I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else.

I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else.
And I don’t want to ball about like everybody else,
And I don’t want to live my life like everybody else,
And I won’t say that I feel fine like everybody else,
‘Cause I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else.

Like everybody else (like everybody else),
Like everybody else (like everybody else),
Like everybody else (like everybody else),
Like everybody else.

“If I Ever Leave This World Alive”

If I ever leave this world alive
I’ll thank for all the things you did in my life
If I ever leave this world alive
I’ll come back down and sit beside your
feet tonight
Wherever I am you’ll always be
More than just a memory
If I ever leave this world alive

If I ever leave this world alive
I’ll take on all the sadness
That I left behind
If I ever leave this world alive
The madness that you feel will soon subside
So in a word don’t shed a tear
I’ll be here when it all gets weird
If I ever leave this world alive

So when in doubt just call my name
Just before you go insane
If I ever leave this world
Hey I may never leave this world
But if I ever leave this world alive

She says I’m okay; I’m alright,
Though you have gone from my life
You said that it would,
Now everything should be all right

She says I’m okay; I’m alright,
Though you have gone from my life
You said that it would,
Now everything should be all right
Yeah should be alright

just reading these doesn’t do it justice cos the paceof the verses is just relentless it bores into yourhead I can’t say it as fast as he does let alone singthem

Yeah,

I’ll take a nicotine, caffine, sugar fix,
Jesus don’t you get tired of turning tricks,
But when your innocence dies you’ll find the blues,
Seems all our heroes were born to lose,
Just walking through time, you believe this heat,
Another empty house, another dead end street,
Gonna rest my bones and sit for a spell,
This side of Heaven, this close to Hell,

Right next door to Hell,
Why don’t you write a letter to me?,
I said I’m right next door to Hell,
And so many eyes are on me,
Right next door to Hell,
I got nowhere else to be,
Right next door to Hell,
Feels like the walls are closing in on me,

My mamma never really said much to me,
She was much too young and scared to be,
Hell, Freud might say that’s what I need,
But all I really ever get is greed,
And most my friends, they feel the same,
Hell, we don’t even have ourselves to blame,
But times are hard and thrills are cheaper,
As your arms get shorter, your pockets get deeper,

Right next door to Hell,
Why don’t you write a letter to me?,
I said I’m right next door to Hell,
And so many eyes are on me,
Right next door to Hell,
I never thought this is where I’d be,
But right next door to Hell,
Thinking time will stand still for me,

Fuck you…,
Bitch,

Not bad kids, just stupid ones,
Yeah, we thought we’d own the world and getting used was having fun,
I said we’re not sad kids just lucid ones, yeah,
Flowing through life not collecting anyone,
So much out there, still so much to see,
Time’s too much to handle, time’s too much for me,
It drives me up the walls, drives me out of my mind,
Can you tell me what this means… huh?,

We’re living in repetition.
Content in the same old shtick again.
Now the routine’s turning to contention,
Like a production line going a over and a over and a over, roller coaster

Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
Speechless and redundant
‘Cause I love you’s not enough
I’m lost for words.

Choreographed and lack of passion
Prototypes of what we were
Went full circle ‘til I’m nauseous
Taken for granted now
I waste it, faked it, ate it, now i hate it

‘Cause I cannot speak, I lost my voice
Speechless and redundant
‘Cause I love you’s not enough
I’m lost for words.

Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I’m speechless and redundant
‘Cause I love you’s not enough
I’m lost for words.

Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I’m speechless and redundant
‘Cause I love you’s not enough
I’m lost for words.

Repeating in my head
Betrayal
Repeating in my head
Insecurities
Repeating in my head
Dividends

It’s not your fault
The well of thought and trust has run dry
Don’t be afraid to let go
Don’t be afraid to start over when it’s over

Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go

Let go of feelings
Let go of compromise
Hollow trunk for shelter
So dark and cold inside
I always seem to find myself alone
Jaded shell of being
Porous as a stone

Calloused
Rigid
Empty
Because of you

Let go of trusting
Lost thought for family
Let go of living
No more concerns of demise
I never seem to find rhythm for life’s harmony

Contorted
Twisted broken
Without a reason

Calloused
Rigid
Empty
Because of you

It’s all me
All you are
Without me
There’s nothing else
There’s no one

Brainwash
All you are
Without me
You’re by yourself
There’s no one

Hope is out of season
Lost sight
No hint of light
Get busy living or get busy dying

Calloused
Rigid
Empty
Because of you

It’s all me
All you are
Without me
There’s nothing else
There’s no one

Brainwash
All you are
Without me
You’re by yourself
There’s no one

Save me
This loss
Closure my
Answer
So grant it

You owe me all that you are
Without me
You’re nothing
You’re no one

Terrified
Petrified

Nothing
You’re no one
Do you care because I don’t
Nothing
You’re no one
Nobody cares so just go

Nothing
You’re no one
By yourself all alone

It’s all me
All you are
Without me
You’re by yourself
There’s no one

Brainwash
All you are
Without me
You’re by yourself
There’s no one

Save me
This loss
Closure my
Answer
So grant it
You owe me all that you are
Without me
You’re nothing
