Single Line/verse Of A Song

Recommended Posts

Guest apsham

And now the cynical ones say that it all ends the same in the long run

Try telling that to the desperate father who just squeezed the life from his only son

And how it's only voices in your head and dreams you never dreamt

Try telling him the subtle difference between justice and contempt

Try telling me she isn't angry with this pitiful discontent

When they flaunt it in your face as you line up for punishment

And then expect you to say "Thank you" straighten up, look proud and pleased

Because you've only got the symptoms, you haven't got the whole disease

Just like a schoolboy, whose head's like a tin-can filled up with dreams then poured down the drain

Try telling that to the boys on both sides, being blown to bits or beaten and maimed

Who takes all the glory and none of the shame

"Tramp The Dirt Down" by Elvis Costello

Some nights I thirst for real blood

For real knives

For real cries

And then the flash of steel from real guns

In real life

Really fills my mind

 

And I really miss what really did exist

When I held your throat so tight

And I miss the bus as it swerved from us

Almost came crashing to its side

 

Sometimes the blood from real cuts

Feels real nice

When it's really mine

Obsessed by you,

Your looks-

Well, anyway

I would anyday

Die for you

I write it on paper

...erased, away

Still I sit at the diner, city light

Drinking coffee or reading lies

 

Fuckin creepy Sonata Arctica guy still sounds somewhat heartfelt

You can spend your time alone

Redigesting past regrets

Or you can come to terms and realize

You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself

Makes much more sense

To live in the present tense

 

Present Tense by Pearl Jam

 

Floating down a river named Emotion

Will I make it back to shore

Or drift into the unknown

 

Incubus

 

Love Incubus, and this song. Very relaxing.

 

"Lying face up on the floor of my vessel

I marvel at the stars and feel my heart overflow"

Burn - The Cure

 

"Don't look don't look" the shadows breathe

Whispering me away from you

"Don't wake at night to watch her sleep

You know that you will always lose

This trembling

Adored

Tousled bird mad girl... "

But every night I burn

But every night I call your name

Every night I burn

Every night I fall again

 

"Oh don't talk of love" the shadows purr

Murmuring me away from you

"Don't talk of worlds that never were

The end is all that's ever true

There's nothing you can ever say

Nothing you can ever do... "

Still every night I burn

Every night I scream your name

Every night I burn

Every night the dream's the same

Every night I burn

Waiting for my only friend

Every night I burn

Waiting for the world to end

 

"Just paint your face" the shadows smile

Slipping me away from you

"Oh it doesn't matter how you hide

Find you if we're wanting to

So slide back down and close your eyes

Sleep a while

You must be tired... "

But every night I burn

Every night I call your name

Every night I burn

Every night I fall again

Every night I burn

Scream the animal scream

Every night I burn

Dream the crow black dream

 

Dream the crow black dream...

 

It's an awesome song from one of my favorite movies

The Cure

 

I'm always wanting more

Anything I haven't got

Everything

I want it all

I just can't stop

Planning all my days away

But never finding ways to stay

Or ever feel enough today

Tomorrow must be more

Drink more dreams more bed more drugs

More lust more lies more head more love

More fear more fun more pain more flesh

More stars more smiles more fame more sex

But however hard I want

I know deep down inside

I'll never really get more hope

Or any more time

Any more time

Any more time

Any more time

 

I want the sky to fall in

I want lightning and thunder

I want blood instead of rain

I want the world to make me wonder

I want to walk on water

Take a trip to the moon

Give me all this and give me it soon

More drink more dreams more drugs

More lust more lies more love

But however hard I want

I know deep down inside

I'll never really get more hope

Or any more time

Any more time

Any more time

Any more time

Wax Mannequin ~ End of Me

 

The streets of Vancouver are flooded

With the blood of the sleepwalking dead

Dreamed we walked on this river together

His greasy hands pulled us in 'bove our heads

 

This land's ancient insides are burning

The fiery pine needle cooks her bones

Told me if I burn bright like she does

Come winter I won't make it home

 

So follow me out through grey rain, and darker doubt

Follow me back, coals are red, soles are black

Said you'd follow me to the end of the earth

But the end of me is bound to come first

 

Calgary's gold is someone's curse

Seen the good life get better as the livin' gets worse

Came to you oil rich and angry

But the power weighed more than it's worth

 

So you follow me west to keep fire off my chest

And you follow me east to console the icy beast

Said you follow me to the end of the earth

But the end of me is bound to come first

 

Lady; I know that's a life that's a long for (unintelligible)

I'd have waited for you if I can

Folks says there's a good flood that's coming

And I've seen the drowning's begun

This river has swept up your man

 

The fires of Saint John never ended

In us punks, in us drunks it still burns

And though Irving has bought up our body

We're not going to sell him our word

 

So you follow me east to control the icy beast

And you follow me west to put fire back in my chest

Said you follow me to the end of the earth

But the end of me is bound to come first

 

Oh you follow me out through grey rain, and darker doubt

Follow me back

Coals are red, feet burned black

Said you follow me to the end of the earth

But the end of me's bound to come first

 

You said you'd carry me

But this river is grown

This river is carrying us home

Left and Leaving - The Weakerthans

 

My city's still breathing (but barely it's true)

through buildings gone missing like teeth.

The sidewalks are watching me think about you,

sparkled with broken glass.

I'm back with scars to show.

Back with the streets I know

Will never take me anywhere but here.

The stain in the carpet, this drink in my hand,

the strangers whose faces I know.

We meet here for our dress-rehearsal to say " I wanted it this way"

Wait for the year to drown.

Spring forward, fall back down.

I'm trying not to wonder where you are.

All this time lingers, undefined.

Someone choose who's left and who's leaving.

Memory will rust and erode into lists of all that you gave me:

a blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest,

the best parts of Lonely, duct-tape and soldered wires,

new words for old desires,

and every birthday card I threw away.

I wait in 4/4 time.

Count yellow highway lines that your relying on will lead you home

Darkness at the break of noon

Shadows even the silver spoon

The handmade blade, the child's balloon

Eclipses both the sun and moon

To understand you know too soon

There is no sense in trying.

 

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn

Suicide remarks are torn

From the fool's gold mouthpiece

The hollow horn plays wasted words

Proves to warn

That he not busy being born

Is busy dying.

 

Temptation's page flies out the door

You follow, find yourself at war

Watch waterfalls of pity roar

You feel to moan but unlike before

You discover

That you'd just be

One more person crying.

 

So don't fear if you hear

A foreign sound to your ear

It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing.

 

As some warn victory, some downfall

Private reasons great or small

Can be seen in the eyes of those that call

To make all that should be killed to crawl

While others say don't hate nothing at all

Except hatred.

 

Disillusioned words like bullets bark

As human gods aim for their mark

Made everything from toy guns that spark

To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark

It's easy to see without looking too far

That not much

Is really sacred.

 

While preachers preach of evil fates

Teachers teach that knowledge waits

Can lead to hundred-dollar plates

Goodness hides behind its gates

But even the president of the United States

Sometimes must have

To stand naked.
