- 1. Devil In A Midnight Mass – Billy Talen
Lyrics
A devil in a midnight mass,
He preyed behind stained glass
A memory of Sunday class,
Resurrected from the past
Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don’t work no more
Footsteps down the hallway floor,
Getting closer to my door
I was alive, but now I’m singing…
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Violent Knight… at the edge of your knife,
“Forgive me Father”…don’t make it right
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… at the edge of your knife,
You’re guilty!
A devil in a midnight mass,
Killed the boy inside the man
The holy water in his hands,
Can never wash away his sins
Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don’t work no more
Put my trust in God that day,
Not the man that taught his way
I was alive, but now I’m singing…
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Violent Knight… at the edge of your knife,
“Forgive me Father”…don’t make it right
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… at the edge of your knife
You’re guilty!
Whisper, whisper… don’t make a sound,
Your bed is made; it’s in the ground

- 2. Emergency – Paramore
Lyrics
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
If you thought I’d leave, then you were wrong
Cause I won’t stop holding on
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
If you thought I’d leave, then you were wrong
Cause I won’t stop holding on.
This is an emergency
So are you listening?
And I can’t pretend that I don’t see this
It’s really not your fault
That no one cares to talk about it,
Talk about it
Cause I’ve seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
I’ve seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserve to be alive, alive
So you give up every chance you get
Just to feel new again
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
And you do your best to show me love,
but you don’t know what love is.
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
Well I can’t pretend that I don’t see this
It’s really not your fault
That no one cares to talk about it,
Talk about it
Cause I’ve seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
I’ve seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserve to be alive, alive
These scars, they will not fade away.
No one cares to talk about it, talk about it
Cause I’ve seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
I’ve seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserve to be alive, alive

- 3. Coffeeshop Soundtrack – All Time Low
Lyrics
Should I write myself out of the history books
And mark a place in time for every chance you took?
Don’t get me wrong,
I know you’ve got your life in place
I’ve yet to take the hint, someday
I’m sure I’ll get the picture
And stop waiting up
When it all comes down
To a sunrise on the East Side,
Will you be there to carry home
The remains of my wasted youth?
This wasted time on you
Has left me shaking in waiting,
Shaking in waiting for something more
Tonight is alive with the promise of a street-fight,
And there’s money on the table
That says your cheap shots won’t be able
To break bones
I’ve yet to break a sweat
I’ll make your past regret its future
Here’s to you
When it all comes down
To a sunrise on the East Side,
Will you be there to carry home
The remains of my wasted youth?
This wasted time on you
Has left me shaking in waiting
For something more
Make all of my decisions for me
I’ve never taken the fall for deceit
I’ll keep a secret if you keep me guessing
The taste of your lips says we shouldn’t have met like…
Make all of my decisions for me
I’ve never taken the fall for deceit
We’ll keep a secret if you keep me guessing
The taste of your lips says we shouldn’t have met like this
I can keep a secret if you can keep me guessing
The flavor of your lips is enough to keep me pressing
For more than just a moment of truth between the lies told
To pull ourselves away from the lives we leave back
(I can keep a secret if you can keep me guessing)
The flavor of your lips is enough to keep me here, keep me here
When it all comes down
To a sunrise on the East Side,
Will you be there to carry me home?
The remains of my wasted youth,
This wasted time on you,
Has left me shaking in waiting
For something more

- 4. The Phrase That Pays – The Academy Is…
Lyrics
My eyes can’t believe what they have seen.
In the corner of your room you’ve stockpiled millions of my memories.
Oh Doctor, Doctor, I must have gotten this sick somehow.
I’m going to ask you a series of questions,
And I want them answered on the spot, right now.
Is it serious?
I’m afraid it is.
Am I gonna die?
Well son, death is gonna catch up to all one day,
But yours is coming quicker than ours, than ours.
Some things I may have taken for granted again and again,
well here’s what was said then
Hold your head high heavy heart.
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big, planning.
I’ve never tried to make the best of my time,
When I thought that I had plenty of it.
Is this serious?
I don’t know what to think.
Is it all a lie?
Well one thing is for sure
I’m taken back to the glory days
When we were kids without a brash or bitter thing to say.
Now my life is one big make it, or break it.
Hold your head high heavy heart
Save your strength for the morning after.
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big, planning.

- 5. Monster – Meg & Dia
Lyrics
His little whispers,
“Love me, love me
That’s all I ask for
Love me, love me.”
He battered his tiny fists to feel something
Wondered what it’s like to touch and feel something
Monster,
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the window
That night he caged her
Bruised and broke her
He struggled closer
Then he stole her
Violet wrists and then her ankles
Silent Pain
Then he slowly saw their nightmares were his dreams
Monster,
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the windows
I will
Hear their voices
I’m a glass child,
I am Hannah’s regrets
Monster,
How should I feel?
Turn the sheets down
Murder ears with pillow lace
There’s bath tubs
Full of glow flies
Bathe in kerosene
Their words tattooed in his veins, yeah!

- 6. Going Through Changes – Army of Me
Lyrics
It’s hard to have strength when there’s nothing to eat
And it’s hard to eat when you don’t have the teeth
And how, when you lose the one thing you love
There’s nothing below and there’s nothing above.
I’ve been going through changes
I’ve been going through changes
I’ve been going through changes
With nothing at all.
It’s hard to accept what you don’t understand
And it’s hard to launch without knowing how to land
And how, when it burns, you can’t change a thing
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/army-of-me-lyrics/going-through-changes-lyrics.html]
You can soften the blow, but you can’t stop the sting
I’ve been going through changes….
I am still yours even if you’re not mine
I stare at the floor and I study the lines
Oh I took my place at the back of the crowd
Baby I couldn’t see, but at least it was loud.
At least it was loud.
And I’ve been going through changes….
And I know that I needed changes
But not this, this is not painless
Oh no, this is not painless

- 7. Keep It Coming – Love Arcade
Lyrics
You know I wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true
It’s five ‘o clock and I’m thinking of you
And all the things you make me do
You know I really want ya really want ya
Can’t keep my head straight,legs are about to break
What more can I say I really want ya really want ya
Keep it keep it comin’ all your lovin’ oh please don’t stop
Turn me round ‘n’ from the bottom to the top
Keep it crackin’ like a bubble pop pop pop
All your lovin’
Want you now like I want you then
Falling in love with you there is no end
When you’re not here I like to pretend
Because I really want ya really want ya
It’s love I’m sure I can’t ignore
Something so pure you I adore
Let me think of a metaphor
Love is like candy, wait, that’s a simile
Keep it keep it comin’ all your lovin’ oh please don’t stop
Turn me round ‘n’ from the bottom to the top
Keep it crackin’ like a bubble pop pop pop
All your lovin’
Now I see, now I see ’cause you’re lovin’ me
Now I see, now I see c’ause you’re lovin’ me
Keep it keep it comin’ all your lovin’ oh please don’t stop
Turn me round ‘n’ from the bottom to the top
Keep it crackin’ like a bubble pop pop pop
All your lovin’

- 8. All Of The Above – Big City Rock
Lyrics
I’ve heard of social climbing
And I’ve heard of bad timing
But I haven’t heard it all before…
Do you wanna rock?
Do you wanna roll?
Do you wanna get down on the floor?
All of the above
I’m falling in love
Anything goes now
Everyone knows how to throw a party
We’re gonna find one tonight
We’re gonna show them what we’re made of
All of the above…
I’ve seen a lot of faces
And I hear a lot of voices
But never one as sweet as yours…
Do you wanna carve
My name into a wall
Right next to yours inside the shape of a heart?
All of the above
I’m falling in love
Anything goes now
Everyone knows how to throw a party
We’re gonna find one tonight
We’re gonna show them what we’re made of…
All of the above
Fallin’ in love
With you…
With you…
With you…
With you…
I’m dropping out,
‘Cause I’ve seen what it’s about
And I know there must be something more
Do you wanna rock?
Do you wanna roll?
Do you wanna get down,
Get down,
Get down?
All of the above
I’m falling in love
Anything goes now
Everyone knows how to throw a party
We’re gonna find one tonight
We’re gonna show them what we’re made of…
All of the above
I’m falling in love
Anything goes now
Everyone knows how to throw a party
We’re gonna find one tonight
We’re gonna show them what we’re made of…
All of the above…
Get down,
Get down,
Get down,
Get down,
Get down,
Get down,
Get down,
Get down,
Get down,
All of the above…

- 9. Gone So Young – Amber Pacific
Lyrics
I never dreamt it’d be this way
I’ve lost any chance for me to say
To say that I miss you, say that I love you
Will someone please tell me I’m okay
I wasn’t prepared for what’s to come
A life made of memories gone so young
And now I’m regretting all I’ve done
But in your heart know that I’m with you all along
Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I’ll make your darkest days so bright
I’m in your heart tonight
I never thought that this could go
And take me away from all I know
And leave me to think I’m on my own
But your love will take me, you were the one…
…Who sat through nights
You held me tight
And made sure I’m okay
And I thank you for the love you gave to me
Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I’ll make your darkest days so bright
I’m in your heart tonight…
Tonight…
Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I’ll make your darkest days so bright
Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I’ll make your darkest days so bright
And if I should fall, I know you’re waiting
And if I should call, I know you’re there
If ever you cry just know
I’m in your heart tonight…
I’m in your heart tonight.

- 10. Lips Like Morphine – Kill Hannah
Lyrics
I want a girl with lips like morphine
Knock me out every time they touch me
I wanna feel that kiss just crush me
And break me down
Knock me out!
Knock me out!
‘Cause I’ve waited for all my life
To be here with you tonight
I want a girl with lips like morphine
Blow a kiss that leaves me gasping
I want to feel that lightning strike me
And burn me down
Knock me out!
Knock me out!
‘Cause I’ve waited for all my life
To behere with you tonight
Just put me on my back
Knock me out again
Oh, I want a girl with lips like morphine
Knock me out everytime they touch me
I want a girl with lips like morphine
To knock me out
See I’ve waited for all my life
To be here with you tonight
Just put me on my back
Knock me out again.

- 11. Tension – Nural
Lyrics
[CHORUS]
Can you feel the tension in the air?
Assuring you once agian I’m there
‘Cause you break my trust, you break my heart
I’ll break your fall
Your fall
So I lied,
Don’t say you’ve done the same without a smile upon your face
‘Cause once you’ve but tasted of this fruit that lay,
A serpent’s swayed your ways
Which brings me to my next thought,
Walk these roads as crooked as they be
So I lied, and so we lie
[CHORUS]
And so I lie,
This time I face the sky without a smile, without a trace.
I don’t just see blue I choose to.
With still no sign of you.
Which brings me to my next thought,
Don’t be fooled by the cunning ways of the truth.
And so I lied, and so we lie.
Weakened knees,
Belong to those who find it hard to believe,
But so intrigued.
By the thought of someone, somehow, meeting their needs
By the thought of someone, somewhere, meeting our needs.
Without tension in the air
Assuring you once again I’m there
You break my trust, you break my heart
I break your fall
Your fall
Your fall
Your fall
But can you feel the tension in the air?
Assuring you once again I’m there
‘Cause you break my trust, you break my heart
I’ll break your fall
(You break my trust) your fall (so I lied)
(You break my heart) your fall (so I lied)
Now break your fall
Your fall

- 12. In Effigy – Shadows Fall
Lyrics
You will never
Give the power
To the powerless
Your new ideal
Has Grown
Beyond your control
Can you ever find yourself again?
Your vision distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can’t see through your eyes
Can you imagine
What is only
One step away?
The potential
Is waiting
Just beyond your grasp
Can you ever find yourslef again?
Your vision distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can you keep fighting on and on?
THIS FALSE ME
WILL BURN
IN EFFIGY!!!
It’s so easy
To relax and watch from afar
It’s so easy to give in to inertia
Can you ever find yourself again?
Your vision distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can’t see through your eyes

- 13. Crossing The Rubicon – The Human Abstract
Lyrics
Of all the times I’ve been disrespected, youd think it’d be no surprise
Learning lessons, all the precious treasures take all that youve got
I’ll take your ready hand with a ready blade
Dead set to make you lie in the bed you’ve made
Paid in full, I’ll take it from your pride
I don’t know what you thought, but you’ve gone past the line
And you’ve got me wrong
The time has come, your song has long been sung
Brought down, you won’t have long to go
I’m not cutting a loss again
An hourglass of sand, and I’ll be on time, inform the rest
Run as fast as you can, hell’s coming for you
Try to strike and then slip away
But I won’t let you leave without feeling an equal pain
You’ll see, because I’ll make you see
Left in my council you’ll know what it means to respect me
Once I’ve caught you alone, I’ll teach you all you need to know
Pray, once I’ve caught you alone,
That I teach you all you need to know.
Each of us has boundaries, everyone has got a breaking point
I wish I held desire solely to right this wrong
Take careful tones urging the dawn to come
Make every word worth what it takes in turn
But I can’t go on with my faith interrupted
How can I look the other way?
You’ve shown me there is no other way out.

- 15. Punkrocker – Teddybears
Lyrics
See me drivin’ down the street,
I’m bored with looking good.
I got both hands off the wheel,
The cops are coming.
I’m listening to the music with no fear,
You can hear it too if your sincere.
Coz I’m a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I’m a punk rocker yes I am.
Coz I’m a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I’m a punk rocker yes I am.
I see you stagger in the street,
And you cant stay on your feet.
And your faking in your sleep,
You wish that you were deep.
You can’t hear me laughing to myself,
If you could you would be someone else.
Coz I’m a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I’m a punk rocker yes I am.
Coz I’m a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I’m a punk rocker yes I am.
See me die on Bleeker street,
I’m bored with being god,
See me sneering in my car,
I’m driving to my star.
I’m listening to the music with no fear,
You can hear it too if your sincere…
Coz I’m a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I’m a punk rocker yes I am.
Coz I’m a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I’m a punk rocker yes I am.
Coz I’m a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I’m a punk rocker yes I am.

- 16. Tied Up Too Tight – Hard-Fi
Lyrics
Oh where I come from
I just don’t conform
Get me out of here!
Leave the boredom behind
Wanna see those bright lights
Get this thing in gear
Yeah…
So we’ll ride in my car
Follow the star
Drive on into town
With the stereo loud
take the Great West Road out
Nothing can bring me down
You put your boots on…
You put your boots on…
And all boys and girls sing
(Na na na na na na)
Straight out of West London
(Na na na na na na)
Just like a loaded gun
(Na na na na na na)
The cognoscenti don’t like us
Don’t like us!
(Na na na na na na)
We’ll hit the strip tonight
(Na na na na na na)
Your eyes are burning so bright
(Na na na na na na)
Can’t you feel the blood rush, baby
Tied up too tight!
Wa-ah-ah-ah-ahah
Tell me can you feel it
Feel the city breathing
Feel its beating heart
No superstition
Just cold ambition
It’s time to make a mark
Oh…
You get your boots on…
You get your boots on…
And all boys and girls sing
(Na na na na na na)
Straight out of West London
(Na na na na na na)
Just like a loaded gun
(Na na na na na na)
The cognoscenti don’t like us
Don’t like us!
(Na na na na na na)
We’ll hit the strip tonight
(Na na na na na na)
Your eyes are burning so bright
(Na na na na na na)
Can’t you feel the blood rush, baby
Tied up too tight!
Tied up too tight…
Tied up too tight…
And all boys and girls sing
(Na na na na na na)
Straight out of West London
(Na na na na na na)
Just like a loaded gun
(Na na na na na na)
The cognoscenti don’t like us
Don’t like us!
(Na na na na na na)
We’ll hit the strip tonight
(Na na na na na na)
Your eyes are burning so bright
(Na na na na na na)
Can’t you feel the blood rush, baby
Tied up too tight!
Tied up too tight…
Tied up too tight…

- 17. Kick Push – Lupe Fiasco
Lyrics
Uh, what up ya’ll
Soundtrack what’s poppin’ baby
Ya’ll ain’t know
I go by the name of
Lupe Fiasco
Representin’ that 1st & 15
Yea
And this one right here
I dedicate this one right here
To all my homies out there grindin’ (ya know what I’m saying)
Legally and Illegally
Ha
You know what I’m talkin’ ’bout
So, check it out
First got it when he was six
Didn’t know any tricks
Matter fact
First time he got on it he slipped
Landed on his hip and bust his lip
For a week he had to talk with a lisp
Like this
Now we can end the story right here
But shorty didn’t quit it was something in the air
Yea
He said it was somethin’ so appealing
He couldn’t fight the feelin’
Somethin’ about it
He knew he couldn’t doubt it
Couldn’t understand it
Brand it, since his first kickflip he land it
Uh
Labeled a misfit, abandoned
Ca-kunk, ca-kunk, kunk
His neighbors couldn’t stand it, so
He was banished to the park
Started in the morning wouldn’t stop till after dark
Yea
When he said it’s getting late in here
So “I’m sorry young man there’s no skating here”
[Chorus]
So we Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Coast
And the way he roll just a rebel to the world with no place to go
So we Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Coast
So come and skate with me, just a rebel looking for a place to be
So let’s Kick, and Push, and Coast
Uh, uh ,uh
My man got a lil older became a better roller (yea)
No helmet, hellbent on killin’ himself, was what his momma said
But he was feelin’ himself
Got a lil more swagger in his style
Met his girlfriend, she was clappin’ in the crowd
Love is what was happening to him now, uh
He said I would marry you but I’m engaged to these aerials and varials
And I don’t think this board is strong enough to carry 2
She said bow I weigh 120 pounds, now
Lemme make one thing clear
I don’t need to ride yours I got mine right here
So she took him to a spot
He didn’t know about
Somewhere in the apartment parking lot, she said
I don’t normally take dates in here
Security came and said “I’m sorry there’s no skating here”
[Chorus]
Yea uh, yea, yea
Before he knew he had a crew
That weren’t no punk
In they Spitfire shirts and SB Dunks
They would Push, till they couldn’t skate no more
Office building, lobbies weren’t safe no more
And it wasn’t like they weren’t getting chased no more
Just the freedom is better than breathing they said (they said)
And they escape route, they used to escape out
When things got crazy they needed to break out (they’d head)
To any place with stairs, any good grinds the world was theirs, uh
And they four wheels would take them there
Till the cops came and said “There’s no skating here”
[Chorus]

- 18. The Queen And I – Gym Class Heroes
Lyrics
I love it how she breathes booze in the mornin’
Man, it’s so sexy how she can’t remember last night
I made a fatal mistake letting her drink again
But who the hell am I to tell her how to live her life?
And if you could put dumb in a shot glass
I’m just another lush who’s had one too many in me
And we please don’t have enough
I see you stand there, settle for anything,
anything’s better than lettin’ her think she could do better than me
She’ll come around eventually
‘Cause baby girl’s a queen
But the queen is just a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves
And she’s made me a fiend
I’m going through withdrawals ’cause I got nothing to lose
Oh no,
She’s at the bottom of that bottle
She’s only one more swallow
From being, oh, so hollow
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Bravo, she’s at the bottom of that bottle
She’s only one more swallow
From being, oh, so hollow
I find it funny she can never find her car keys
Immediately after telling me she can’t take it
She makes the cutest faces when she screams obscenities
And slurs her words because she’s never not inebriated
And the front page headline read
Let the girl go, you know you can do better
It’s bad, when the fact that you can’t have her
Is the reason you sweat her,
Don’t let her take advantage of you
Like the other dudes let her
You better cut your losses now buddy.
‘Cause baby girl’s a queen
And a queen’s a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves
And she’s made me a fiend
I’m going through withdrawals ’cause I got nothing to lose
Oh no,
She’s at the bottom of that bottle
She’s only one more swallow
From being, oh, so hollow
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Bravo, she’s at the bottom of that bottle
She’s only one more swallow
From being, oh, so hollow
Drown yourself,
It’s not worth keeping me
Just put it down right now,
And bow out gracefully
(‘Cause baby girl’s a queen
The queen’s just a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves
And she’s made me a fiend
I’m going through withdrawals ’cause I got nothing to lose)
Oh no,
She’s at the bottom of that bottle
She’s only one more swallow
From being, oh, so hollow
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Bravo, she’s at the bottom of that bottle
She’s only one more swallow
From being, oh, so hollow
(Hey! Hey! Hey!…)

- 19. Prangin Out – The Streets
Lyrics
[CHORUS]
You’re prangin out,
I see through you (I feel awful)
This voice is talking to me,
This aint even funny (The irons been on in my house has been in for 4 fucking weeks)
I see through you,
I’m about to do something stupid
I daren’t say what my manager got lairy and smacked me, these headaches are getting unbearably nasty.
Staring at the crackwork looking scary with my brandy, the rock and roll clich© walks in and then
smacked me.
Carelessly wreckin’ out prang just to handle the fear, I do a line but then panic cos I feel a bit
prangy.
So I glug marlon from the bottle to ease off the pain, then when it starts wearing off I just feel a bit sad.
Snort more tour support and then have a drink, the bruise on the side of my head is madly banging.
The only reason I started this was to still be here laughing, the only reason I started this was to
still be here laughing.
[CHORUS]
The girl in my bed was kinda distant right now, I know she’s thinking she’s a bit frightened somehow,
I don’t think she realised what I’d invited her back to my house.
I don’t want anyone to see me like this right now,
All sorts of thoughts rolling back in my eyes,
I’ve been a poor sport thoughts dance in my mind,
A banging headache, dancing prang by their side,
Dancing with the pictures from the past of my life,
I don’t remember any of what I just thought at all,
The conclusion prior to when I forgot it all,
Panicking a bit, getting frightened of fuck all,
So nursing my bruise I drink right from the bottle,
I don’t want anyone I know to see me like this,
My fibs in single became lies in lists,
She’s gonna sell/tell no doubt,
Fuck it I’m not gonna stop drinking though, I cant for now.
[CHORUS]
My laptop must have slipped down and gone to sleep,
Before the prang this pain was to dawn on me,
Around the time I was sketching trying to con some sleep,
And the new day on me was nearly dawning in here,
I must have flaked while I inputted, waging loads more.
Cos I staked on bookings, way to tow the score.
Why do I break my rules not to wager anymore?
I’d flaked on the bookings and majorly totalled on the score,
I’ve got a simple problem, but my minds spinning out,
I remembered the website between the wine and the stout,
My rush of fear made me forget how fucked I had been,
This time I’m drying my eyes and a fucking nose bleed,
Turning my phone off when my promo guy phones me,
The day before getting nasty with my manager when he only bit me,
I threw his wallet out of the window as it was growing heated,
He said ‘Sort your life out’ as he punched me over to my feet.
[CHORUS x2]
Right now logic states I need to be not contemplating suicide,
Cos with rational thought it would seem that I need to be not doing the stuff that makes death seem like
an easier option,
I need a totally trojan plan right now.

- 20. Destroyer – The Stills
Lyrics
And you don’t seem to miss me
And you’re eyes sag
So don’t make a goddamn sound
I’m coming to your town
I will destroy you
Your soul impedes on mine
Let go my free will
I can’t stand compromise
Only when you’re dead
I’ll make you mine
And the arrows are pointed
And the archer’s delighted
The thrill, the smell
The shit I’ve been put through
An angel to no one
I hate you and you’re blood
So don’t make a goddamned sound
Cause I’m coming
To your town

- 21. Brother – Murder By Death
Lyrics
Fourteen years have passed since that day
Your stories are the same but the ends have all changed
You carried on like you were some type of god
Some things will never change
We went home to see our folks
We laughed and we told jokes
It was like we were young again
On that deathbed our mother lay
How long she’s got they still can’t say
It took all this to get us back together again
How long is this going to last
You can’t keep reliving your past
Screwing over the ones that you lone
In the name of some new drug
So brother, raise another pint
Rev up the engine and drive off in the night
See you somewhere some place some time
I know there’s better brothers but you’re the only one that’s mine
I know there’s better brothers but you’re the only one that’s mine
The bondsman came to my door early the next day
He said “I come lookin’ for you brother
You don’t know what kind of trouble that he’s in”
How long is this going to last
You can’t keep reliving your past
Johnny law keeps a poundin’ at my door
‘Cause you screwed up some new score
So he’s standing in the doorway like he owns the place
With a look of smug satisfaction on his face
I’m gonna give you up
Of that he’s sure as hell
But I take one look at him and I know I’ll never tell
So brother, raise another pint
Rev up the engine and drive off in the night
See you somewhere some place some time
I know there’s better brother’s but you’re the only one that’s mine
So brother, raise another pint
Rev up the engine and drive off in the night
I still look out for you no matter what you heard.
They can knock all of my doors down but I won’t say a word.
They can knock all of my doors down but I won’t say a word.
Fourteen years have passed since that day but still nothing has changed.
