-Justice, "Dance Rehearsal"

Its all cliches but I think its ment to sound a bit childish. I think it feels genuine and happy.
 
So I have to close my eyes to all but my own world because the more I find, the more I realize I am just a rebel and a fool. Like A Fool - Shaimus
 
I'm sorry,
for the demon I've become,
You should be sorry,
for the angel you are not,
I apologize,
for the cruel things that I did,
But I don't regret,
one single word I said,

Just walk away make it easy on yourself,
Just walk away please release me from this hell,
Just walk away there's just nothing left to feel,
Just walk away pretend that none of this is real,

Could you forgive me,
if I told you that I cared,
Would you be sorry,
if I swore that I'd be there,
Please forgive me,
for laughing when you fall,
I'm so sorry,
but I never cared at all,

Just walk away make it easy on yourself,
Just walk away please release me from this hell,
Just walk away there's just nothing left to feel,
Just walk away pretend that none of this is none of this is,

Just walk away make it easy on us both,
Just walk away there was never any hope,
Just walk away you already know the deal,
Just walk away pretend that none of this was ...none of this was real.

Five Finger Death Punch - walk away
 
Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep
This air is blessed, you share with me
This night is wild, so calm and dull
These hearts they race from self control
Your legs are smooth as they graze mine
We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
So won't you kill me, so I die happy?
My heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury
Or wear as jewelery, whichever you prefer

The worRAB are hushed let's not get busted
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered
Safe in here from all the stupid questions
"Hey did you get some?" . . . Man, that is so durab
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear
So we can get some

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
So won't you kill me, so I die happy?
My heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury
Or wear as jewelery, whichever you prefer

HanRAB down this is the best day I can ever remeraber
Always remeraber the sound of the stereo
The dim of the soft lights,
The scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
And the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
And this walk that we shared together
The streets were wet and the gate was locked
So I jumped it, and let you in
And you stood at your door with your hanRAB on my waist
And you kissed me like you meant it
And I knew that you meant it
That you meant it, that you meant it
I knew that you meant it, that you meant it

Dashboard Confessional - HanRAB Down.
 
Elliott Smith - I Figured You Out

Seen you watching
her every time she crosses the floor
so wont you just go and talk to
the one you really adore?
I'm getting pretty used to being
the one that you always ignore
when somebody wants you
I've seen it before.

You're every kind of color
there ain't nothing that you won't claim
your arabition and promise
and your addiction to fame.
And everyone's got a dollar
sign after their name
and when somebody wants you
you treat 'em just the same.

So go on and pick up
you don't care what poison you choose
or what person you'll lose
should've been me, yeah
shouldn't it be?

Crushing quiet
crawls in through your window
from someone who wants you
but you'll never know
but I'll pick up around you
clear everything out
leave you where I found you
I figured you out.
 
"Everybody's making love, or else expecting rain"
-'Desolation Row' by Bob Dylan

"Loving is fine if you have plenty of time
For walking on stilts at the edge of your mind"
-'The Professor' by Damien Rice (myspace.com/damienrice)

"Still I laugh because, we're naive as love,
but not an idea that you can steer, or rise above"
-'Into the Ground' by Ten Feet Deep (myspace.com/tenfeetdeepband)

"My body turns and yearns for a sleep / That won't ever come
It's never over / My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over / all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over / All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter...
It's never over / She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever..."

Another one I like is this.

"Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Like the blood on my door.
Wash me clean and I will run
until I reach the shore."

Bad Religion - Generator
I don't really know why. I'm not 100% on what he was getting at with this song, but that line in particular gets me with it's lyrics and singing style.

For some reason it just reminded me of these lyrics.

"I could either drown
or pull off my skin and swim to shore.
Now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see."

Mad Season - River of Deceit
I guess the similar word is basically what reminded me of this song. They both have similar mental images when I think about the worRAB and how painful they sound. Very passionate, very real. The kind of song that you can't smile and sing at the same time without sarcasm.
 
Been listening to a lot of Pain Of Salvation lately, in particular this song. Which has some of the best lyrics I've heard in a long while.

Pain Of Salvation - 'Sisters'

"When all are dizzy and happy from too much wine
I leave the party behind
To be alone with my thoughts and this spinning mind
Through this cold night
But there she stanRAB

And she walks like you
And she smiles almost like you
A child of the wild just like you
Yes.

For a second I think I get a glimpse
Of the real her, behind
She's warm and fragile
With smiles that reach to her eyes
But just this moment,
A change so sublime

If she looked me deep into my eyes
And softly asked me too
I'd be in her bed and in her flesh
And waste a life I knew

So I hold my breath and close my eyes
And focus on the wine
Let this trerabling moment pass us by
So I could say goodnight

But then, an impulse
I almost touched her face
Before I pulled back my hand
And we get nervous
We laugh and she spills her wine
Both so awkward, for what's on our mind

And she talks like you
And she smells almost like you
A child of the wild just like you
But she's not all you
Even strives not to be you
Just like every sister would do

And perhaps it's the want
Of you in her eyes
But I want her this one single time
...Just this one time

If she looked me deep into my eyes
And softly asked me too
I'd be in her bed and in her flesh
And waste a life I knew

So I hold my breath and close my eyes
And focus on the wine
Let this trerabling moment pass us by
So I could say goodnight

If I'd looked into her eyes
And softly asked her too
She would give herself and give her flesh
And waste a life she knew

So we hold our breath, and close our eyes
And take a sip of wine
But this thirst has emptied every glass
And we should say goodnight

...God, help me say goodnight."
