    Default the sound of silence - simon and garfunkel

    Hello, darkness, my old friend
    I've come to talk with you again
    Because a vision softly creeping
    Left its seeds while I was sleeping
    And the vision
    That was planted in my brain
    Still remains
    Within the sound of silence

    In restless dreams I walked alone
    Narrow streets of cobblestone
    Beneath the halo of a street lamp
    I turned my collar to the cold and damp
    When my eyes were stabbed
    By the flash of a neon light
    That split the night
    And touched the sound of silence

    And in the naked light I saw
    Ten thousand people, maybe more
    People talking without speaking
    People hearing without listening
    People writing songs that voices never share...
    And no one dare
    Disturb the sound of silence.

    "Fools," said I, "you do not know
    Silence like a cancer grows."
    "Hear my words that I might teach you,
    Take my arms that I might reach you."
    But my words like silent raindrops fell,
    And echoed in the wells of silence.

    And the people bowed and prayed
    To the neon god they made.
    And the sign flashed out its warning
    In the words that it was forming.
    And the signs said: "The words of the prophets
    Are written on the subway walls
    And tenement halls,
    And whisper'd in the sound of silence."
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. -Douglas Adams

    Default Gary Jules - Mad world

    All around me are familiar faces
    worn out places, worn out faces
    Bright and early for the daily races
    going nowhere, going nowhere
    the tears are filling up their glasses
    no expression, no expression
    Hide my head i wanna dron my sorrow
    no tomorrow, no tomorrow

    And i find it kinda funny
    I find it kinda sad
    The dreams in which i'm dying
    Are the best i've ever had
    I find it hard to tell you
    I find it hard to take
    When people run in circles
    It's a very very mad world, mad world

    Children waiting for the day they feel good
    Happy birthday, Happy birthday
    Wanna feel the way that every child should
    Sit and listen, sit and listen
    Went to school and i was very nervous
    No-one knew me no-one knew me
    Hello teacher tell me whats my lesson
    Look right through me, look right through me

    And i find it kinda funny
    I find it kinda sad
    The dreams in which I'm dying
    Are the best I've ever had
    I find it hard to tell you
    I find it hard to take
    When people run in circles
    It's a very very mad world, mad world

    Enlargen your world
    Mad world
    "When I think I might die without seeing a hundredth of all there is to see it makes me feel," he paused, then added, "well, humble, I suppose."
    " And very angry, of course."

    Natalie Imbruglia - Torn


    I thought I saw a man brought to life
    He was warm he came around and he was dignified
    He showed me what it was to cry

    Well you couldn’t be that man I adored
    You don’t seem to know, seem to care what your heart is for
    Well I don’t know him anymore

    There’s nothing where he used to lie
    The conversation has run dry
    That’s what’s goin’ on

    Nothing’s fine I’m torn
    I’m all out of faith
    This is how I feel
    I’m cold and I am shamed
    Lying naked on the floor
    Illusion never changed
    Into something real
    I’m wide awake and I can see
    The perfect sky is torn
    You’re a little late
    I’m already torn

    So I guess the fortune teller’s right
    I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
    But you crawled beneath my veins and now
    I don’t care—I have no luck—I don’t miss it all that much
    There’s just so many things

    That I can’t touch I’m torn
    I’m all out of faith
    This is how I feel
    I’m cold and I am shamed
    Lying naked on the floor
    Illusion never changed
    Into something real
    I’m wide awake and I can see
    The perfect sky is torn
    You’re a little late
    I’m already torn

    Torn

    Oooooh, oooooh oooooh, ooooh

    There’s nothing where he used to lie
    My inspiration has run dry
    That’s what’s goin’ on

    Nothing’s right I’m torn
    I’m all out of faith
    This is how I feel
    I’m cold and I am shamed
    Lying naked on the floor
    Illusion never changed
    Into something real
    I’m wide awake and I can see
    The perfect sky is torn
    I’m all out of faith
    This is how I feel
    I’m cold and I’m ashamed
    Bound and broken on the floor
    You’re a little late I’m already torn

    Default Less Than Jake "All My best Friends Are Metalheads

    One of my favourite songs from one of my favourite bands

    All My Best Friends Are Metalheads
    Do you think it's strange
    that there's this way of how you look at,
    how you act like, and how you think and pretend they're not the same as you
    Do you know about his strength of convictions
    or how she puts all her faith in religion
    Did you ever take the time
    to really discover how little we know about each other?
    this all becomes one more chance to
    keep us from saying anything
    and separate from everything.
    And all this really means
    you're one in a crowd and paranoid of every sound
    another friend you won't miss anyhow

    Default Less Than Jake "Big Crash"

    "Big Crash"

    Sometimes, I think
    something's wrong with me
    because I was never one to believe
    in anyone or anything
    it's always been just me.
    and y'know they've always had big plans for you
    just to walk you through and cloud your views
    and I'll never say that everything's O.K.
    and you don't want to say that you're giving up right now
    so hold your ground
    don't give up in what you believe
    why be different
    when you can't be yourself
    sometimes I think
    something's wrong with me
    because I was never one to believe
    in anyone or anything.
    and I don't want to say I'll ever change
    because things always change.

    Sage Francis - Every Midnight

    Every midnight we sit at the coffee table and we share a cup of tea
    He stays up with me and we discuss things
    Most of the time he just listens
    Other times offers suggestions or he just ignores my questions
    It gets more depressing as time passes, because every night
    I ask this one question and all he does is wipe his glasses
    It's aggrevating as hell and I'm just waiting to tell
    whether or not he can even remember the answer..
    Or whether or not he's choosing not to tamper with his memory..
    Or whether or not he can even fucking remember me.
    What a waste of time
    But every night it's that same damn routine:
    One green cup of tea and me stuck all by myself once its empty
    Then I'm off to bed with plenty of caffiene to keep me up and thinking
    The cup I'm drinking from is never clean
    I can't remember if it's a dream once I awake and I walk..
    From my messy bed and anticipate the next late night talk

    Every midnight we sit at the coffee table and we share a cup of tea

    He stays up with me and we discuss things
    Most of the time he just listens
    Other times offers suggestions with his awful expressions
    Altered refelctions...his whole aura is see-through
    With more confessions...I don't want to leave you
    'This cup should be bottomless!'...as my insecurities spill
    I see his face fading away. I surely need a refill
    I purposely keep still and don't move much
    Except to wet my lips with sips. With every kiss of death I lose touch
    I sip the tea carefully because its at the degree of seperation
    Tasting the forked tongue in bi-lingual conversation
    Waiting for his answer still...and at any given chance I will
    Sweet and Low my bitter past...let the cancer kill the small talk
    'Alright, man...this bitter taste in my mouth needs to get washed out
    Ghosts in this house don't have anything timely to talk about.'
    The concept is dead. There's nothing death should interrupt
    I went to bed last night with one sip left in the cup

    Default Modest Mouse- Dark Center of the Universe

    I might disintegrate into the thin air if you'd like
    I'm not the dark center of the universe like you thought
    Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am
    And I'm real damn sure that anyone can, equally easily fuck you over
    Well, died sayin' something, but didn't mean it
    Everyone's life ends, but no one ever completes it
    Dry or wet ice, they both melt and you're equally cheated
    Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am
    And I'm really damn sure that anyone can, equally easily fuck you over
    Well, an endless ocean landin' on an endless desert
    Well, its funny as hell, but no one laughs when they get there
    If you can't see the thin air then why the hell should you care?
    Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am
    And I'm really damn sure that anyone can, equally easily fuck you over
    Well, I'm sure you'd tell me you got nothing to say
    But our voices shook hands the other day
    If you can't see the thin air what the hell is in the way?
    Well, God sayin' somethin', but he didn't mean it
    Everyone's life ends, but no one ever completes it
    Dry or wet ice, they both melt and you're equally cheated
    Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am
    And I'm really damn sure that anyone can, equally easily fuck you over
    I'm sure you'll tell me you got nothin' to say
    But our voices shook hands the other day
    If you can't see the thin air then what the hells in your way?

    "Moonlight Mile" - The Rolling Stones

    When the wind blows and the rain feels cold
    With a head full of snow
    With a head full of snow
    In the window there’s a face you know
    Don’t the nights pass slow
    Don’t the nights pass slow

    The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind
    Just another mad mad day on the road
    I am just living to be lying by your side
    But I’m just about a moonlight mile on down the road

    Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes
    Gonna warm my bones
    Gonna warm my bones
    I got silence on my radio
    Let the air waves flow
    Let the air waves flow

    Oh I’m sleeping under strange strange skies
    Just another mad mad day on the road
    My dreams is fading down the railway line
    I’m just about a moonlight mile down the road

    I’m hiding sister and I’m dreaming
    I’m riding down your moonlight mile
    I’m hiding baby and I’m dreaming
    I’m riding down your moonlight mile
    I’m riding down you moonlight mile

    Let it go now, come on up babe
    Yeah, let it go now
    Yeah, flow now baby
    Yeah move on now yeah

    Yeah, I’m coming home
    ’cause, I’m just about a moonlight mile on down the road
    Down the road, down the road
    .....and I saw a black shape against the flames. A Man.

    "Oh God, who are you, who are you really?"

    "I am the Devil.., and I come to do the Devil's work."

    Default Tool- Third Eye

    Dreaming of that face again.
    It's bright and blue and shimmering.
    Grinning wide
    And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes.

    On my back and tumbling
    Down that hole and back again
    Rising up
    And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye.

    A child's rhyme stuck in my head.
    It said that life is but a dream.
    I've spent so many years in question
    to find I've known this all along.

    "So good to see you.
    I've missed you so much.
    So glad it's over.
    I've missed you so much
    Came out to watch you play.
    Why are you running?"

    Shroud-ing all the ground around me
    Is this holy crow above me.
    Black as holes within a memory
    And blue as our new second sun.
    I stick my hand into his shadow
    To pull the pieces from the sand.
    Which I attempt to reassemble
    To see just who I might have been.
    I do not recognize the vessel,
    But the eyes seem so familiar.
    Like phosphorescent desert buttons
    Singing one familiar song...

    "So good to see you.
    I've missed you so much.
    So glad it's over.
    I've missed you so much.
    Came out to watch you play.
    Why are you running away?"

    Prying open my third eye.
    So good to see you once again.
    I thought that you were hiding.
    And you thought that I had run away.
    Chasing the tail of dogma.
    I opened my eye and there we were.

    So good to see you once again
    I thought that you were hiding from me.
    And you thought that I had run away.
    Chasing a trail of smoke and reason.

    Prying open my third eye.

    Bright Eyes - Something Vague

    Now and again it seems worse than it is,
    but mostly the view is accurate.
    You see your breath in the air while you climb up the stairs,
    to that coffin you call your apartment.
    And you sink in your chair, brush the snow from your hair.
    and drink the cold away.
    You are not really sure what you are doing this for,
    but you need something to fill up the days.
    A few more hours.
    There is a dream in my brain that just won't go away.
    It has been stuck there since it came a few nights ago,
    I'm standing on a bridge in the town where I lived
    as a kid with my mom and my brothers.
    And then the bridge disappears and I'm standing on air
    with nothing holding me.
    And I hang like a star, fucking glow in the dark,
    for all those starving eyes to see, like the ones we've wished on.
    But now I'm confused. Is this death really you?
    Do these dreams have any meaning?
    No. No, I think it is more like a ghost that has been following us both.
    Something vague that we are not seeing, something more like a feeling.

    Default Days Of Our Lives: James Otto.

    Well, I left for work in a hurry.
    I rushed out the door without saying goodbye.
    I didn't tell her I loved her this morning,
    But I'll tell her tonight, I thought to myself.

    And as I hurried off towards the highway,
    This truck, out of nowhere, caught me by surprise.
    He missed me by inches, and my life passed in front of my eyes.
    I guess that's the reason that they say:

    Dance every dance and live each day,
    As though it's your last,
    And tell those that you love how you feel,
    Before it's too late.
    Life is right here and now,
    We only go around just one time.
    So embrace 'em, don't waste 'em,
    For these are the days of our lives.

    Well as soon as my legs stopped shaking,
    Took a deep breathe and turned my car around.
    Oh, I'm gonna take that vacation,
    That we talked about, starting right now.

    Although I know tomorrow will be here,
    Tomorrow may not always be here for me.
    'Cause nothing in life is for certain but death's guaranteed.
    And that's the reason that I say:

    Dance every dance and live each day,
    As though it's your last,
    And tell those that you love how you feel,
    Before it's too late.
    Life is right here and now,
    We only go around just one time.
    So embrace 'em, don't waste 'em,
    For these are the days of our lives.

    Yeah, life is right here and now,
    We only go around just one time.
    So embrace 'em, don't waste 'em,
    For these are the days of our lives.
    Oh, embrace 'em, don't waste 'em,
    For these are the days of our lives.
    Yeah.


    I know I'm prolly the only country fan here, but I love this song....and it speaks to me...
    Victory is mine!! [/Stewie]

    Someday...*sigh* someday I'll live in a world that appreciates me. But not today, I sense.

    Faith without works is dead.

    Default Grant Lee Buffalo - Fuzzy

    Bring me home to this house of many days
    Just lay me on the floor hard and cool as slate
    You know I love it more and more than before I ran away
    It triggers off so many hurts hurtful words and broken plates

    I lied to
    Now I’m fuzzy
    I’ve been lied to

    All and all the world is small enough for both of us
    To meet upon the interstate waiting on a train
    And just when those big arms lift up fall in love with no time to say it

    I liked to
    Now I’m fuzzy
    I’ve lied to
    Now I’m fuzzy
    Fuzzy now

    Oh oh oh

    Here we are in our car driving down the street
    We’re looking for a place to stop have a bite to eat
    We hunger for a bit of faith to replace the fear
    We water like a dead bouquet does no good does it dear

    I lied to
    Now I’m fuzzy
    We’ve been lied to
    Now I’m fuzzy
    Fuzzy now
    Lied to

    Oh oh oh

    Default Inbetween Days by the cure

    Inbetween Days

    Yesterday I got so old
    I felt like I could die
    Yesterday I got so old
    It made me want to cry
    Go on go on
    Just walk away
    Go on go on
    Your choice is made
    Go on go on
    And disappear
    Go on go on
    Away from here

    And I know I was wrong
    When I said it was true
    That it couldn't be me and be her
    Inbetween without you
    Without you

    Yesterday I got so scared
    I shivered like a child
    Yesterday away from you
    It froze me deep inside
    Come back come back
    Don't walk away
    Come back come back
    Come back today
    Come back come back
    Why can't you see?
    Come back come back
    Come back to me

    And I know I was wrong
    When I said it was true
    That it couldn't be me and be her
    Inbetween without you
    Without you

    Flogging Molly - Far Away Boys

    Well I worked on the railroad
    For t'pence a day
    Drank down one penny
    The other I'd save
    I hammered and I hammered
    For God knows how long
    Well into madness, with each setting sun
    I put my head down and I dreamt you were here
    With me by the ol' tree, where no one could care

    Far Away Boys, Far Away Boys
    Away from ya now
    I'm lyin' with my sweetheart
    In her arms I'll be found

    Then the sun belched upon me
    You were no longer here
    Lyin' in your place was my hammer and my gear
    So I stamped out the fire that kept us both warm
    The ashes were fallin'
    Like the snow drops of old
    We came to a mountain
    Dynamite and she'll blow
    A big hole in that rock
    Like the one in my soul

    Far Away Boys, Far Away Boys
    Away from ya now
    I'm lyin' with my sweetheart
    In her arms I'll be found

    We buried four workmen
    They dug themselves well
    From four empty coffins, to four early graves
    They're only paddys, just paddys
    Don't dig them too deep
    You'll need all your strength boys
    And they're replaced easily
    With the heat I was melting
    Into your sweet lips
    Ah, your kiss takes me back
    Takes me back from all this

    Far Away Boys, Far Away Boys
    Away from ya now
    I'm lyin' with my sweetheart
    In her arms I'll be found

    Someone said it was Christmas
    But not a tree was in sight
    The only thing growin' was my will to die
    Till the gaffer said 'men, your work here is done'
    I said 'I'll see you in Hell, on that train we died for'
    Never again, will I smell your sweet dream
    But a pissed stained ol' gutter where:
    You lips used to be

    Far Away Boys, Far Away Boys
    Away from ya now
    I'm lyin' with my sweetheart
    In her arms I'll be found
    (I told you it was a mistake to let me have a signature.)
