It's a twisted game
A brief & oft-repeating
Prose that never seems to resonate
Spin the finger of blame
It's always on the heart that kept on beating
While the other pulled up lame
~David Cook

Break your neck for some substance
This is temporary sanity, an exercise in vanity
So long to the ordinary day
Wrought with fictitious tales of how there’s any other way
~ David Cook

I'm alone in this crowded room, it's like life on the moon...
~David Cook

So hold me to the light
Watch me fade to white
And burn away.
Their souls are on your hands
Too late to make amends
You've chosen your way.
You've heard it all before,
And I won't preach it anymore
That life's not made to waste.
So do what you can to be,
Be who you want to be,
Just in case
~Axium

You don't like what I do but it's not f**king about you
so go on and feed your ego...
~Axium

Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don't know how to take them
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it
Concentration never hard to break it
Situation never what you want it to be
~Sum 41

They say it fades
if you let it,
love was made
to forget it.
I carved your name
across my eyelids,
you pray for rain
I pray for blindness.
If you still want me, please forgive me,
the crown of love is fallen from me.
If you still want me, please forgive me,
because the spark is not within me....
I snuffed it out before my mom walked in my bedroom.
~Arcade Fire

I gotta get me a Sylvia Plath
And maybe she'd take me to France
Or maybe to Spain and she'd ask me to dance
In a mansion on the top of a hill
She'd ash on the carpets and slip me a pill
Then she'd get me pretty loaded on gin
And maybe she'd give me a bath
How I wish I had a Sylvia Plath
~Ryan Adams

She's not so
hooked on the drugs like I thought she was
And never suckin' on the lime and hardly sippin' on the wine
And despite
of her bi-polar roller coastering
I think I can trust she'll keep me singing differently
And that's fine
'Cause she's with me now most all of the time
Trying and savin' the light
Thinking not of her own
And always kissing me goodnight
When I just need to be alone
She's so sweet
So discrete
She's exactly what I need
Not even make believe...
she's not so usual...
~Jason Mraz

No king, no prince with gold ring pinky
I suggest that we do something kinky
No pilot flying private plane
To smooch you on the hills of Spain
No catapult to all night kisses
That old thing just always misses
All of this don't mess my stuffing
Only one thing got me huffing
I'm jealous of your cigarette
And all the things you do with it
I'm jealous of your cigarette
And how you wanna suck on it
And not me
~Hawsley Workman

So turn the radio on
So turn the radio up
So turn the radio up loud and get down
Let your body move
Let your body sway
Listen the music play
It's magick
~ Ryan Adams


So thanks for my music
Know that I used it
I named every song after you
The guitar is stronger
I learned how to love her
The wood brings me closer to truth
I know where you are
~Stage (Ryan Star)

Oh, 3 2 1
We go live...
Ohh baby you're a classic
like a little black dress
you're a faded moon
stuck on a little hot mess
and ohh baby you're a classic
like a little black dress
but you'll be faded soon
stuck on a little hot mess
~FOB

I got soul but I'm not a soldier
~The Killers

I thank you for the war
I thank you for the hollywood ending
Give thanks for it all
Cause life's not as easy as it seems
Sometimes it's a rose
And sometimes the smell is sobering
Sometimes it's a mouse
And sometimes the sound is deafening
Well I love it, I hate it, I feel like a whore
I give it, I take it, I come back for more
I build it, I break it, I even the score
It feels like it beats you up
It feels like it knocks you out
It feels like a kiss on the mouth
~OLP

I can say
You were lost when you walked into the room
Such an old cliché
Hollywood's full of girls like you
With your backbone stuck inside your purse
Your fairy tale couldn't get much worse
You're a broken bride and we all know
We can win you over,
With just a kiss on the neck
~Cook and Tiemann

I told you
That we could fly
cause we all have wings
But some of us dont know why
~INXS (Michael Hutchence)

And the rain is falling and I believe my time has come
It reminds me of the pain I might leave behind...
Wait in the fire
And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow...
~Jeff Buckley

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me...
~MCR

Well Mother, what the war did to my legs and to my tongue,
You should've raised a baby girl,
I should've been a better son.
If you could coddle the infection
They can amputate at once.
You should've been,
I could have been a better son.
And when we go don't blame us, yeah
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah
You made us oh so famous,
We'll never let you go.
~ MCR

The smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes
I've done all I can do
Could I please come with you?
Sweet smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes
~NIN

Seem like a seem like a
I'm a I'm a
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
Calling all the freaks from the freak freak planet
I'm a freak magnet
~Violent Femmes

Get off - 23 positions in a one night stand
Get off - I'll only call you after if you say I can
