"Wake Up"

Come on, although ya try to discredit
Ya still never edit
The needle, I'll thread it
Radically poetic
Standin' with the fury that they had in '66
And like E-Double I'm mad
Still knee-deep in the system's shit
Hoover, he was a body remover
I'll give ya a dose
But it'll never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy

Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease
When their heads are flown
'Cause all these punks
Got bullets in their heads
Departments of police, the judges, the feds
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

Yeah, back in this...
Wit' poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' dat finesse
Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up
To shake ya up, to break the structure up
'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I'm like takin' photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step
Then bomb a left upon the fascists
Yea, the several federal men
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end
Ya better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
Ya know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

What was the price on his head?
What was the price on his head!

I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard, I think I heard a shot

'He may be a real contender for this position should he
abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine
of non-violence...and embrace black nationalism'
'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to
pinpoint potential trouble-makers...And neutralize them,
neutralize them, neutralize them'

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

How long? Not long, cause what you reap is what you sow


by Rage Against The Machine

"Iris"

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am


by Goo Goo Dolls

"Evidence"

If you want to open the hole
Just put your head down and go
Step beside the piece of circumstance
Got to wash away the taste of evidence

Wash it away
(Evidence...got a taste of evidence)

I didn't feel a thing
It didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify;
I didn't feel a thing

Anything you say, we know you're guilty
Hands above your head and you won't even feel me

You won't feel me


by Faith No More

"Streets Of Philadelphia"

I was bruised and battered and I couldn't tell
what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window I didn't know
my own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me
wasting away
On the streets of Philadelphia

I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
just to slip this skin

The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia


by Bruce Springsteen

"Fields Of Gold"

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

"Tás a Ver?"

Estás a ver o que eu estou a ver?
Estás a ver estás a perceber?
Estás a ouvir o que eu estou a dizer?
Estás a ouvir estás a perceber?

Eu tenho visto tanta coisa nesse meu caminho
Nessa nossa trilha que eu não ando sozinho
Tenho visto tanta coisa tanta cena
Mais impactante do que qualquer filme de cinema
E se milhares de filmes não traduzem nem reproduzem
A amplitude do que eu tenho visto
Não vou mentir pra mim mesmo acreditando
Que uma música é capaz de expressar tudo isso
Não vou mentir pra mim mesmo acreditando
Mas eu preciso acreditar na comunicação
Mas eu preciso acreditar na...
Não há melhor antídoto pra solidão

E é por isso que eu não fico satisfeito
Em sentir o que eu sinto
Se o que eu sinto fica só no meu peito
Por mas que eu seja egoísta
Aprendi a dividir as emoções e os seus efeitos
Sei que o mundo é um novelo uma só corrente
Posso vê-lo por seus belos elos transparentes
Mudam cores e valores mas tá tudo junto
Por mas que eu saiba eu ainda pergunto

Tás a ver a vida como ela é?
Tás a ver a vida como tem que ser?
Tás a ver a vida como agente quer?
Tás a ver a vida pra gente viver?

Nossa vida é feita
De pequenos nadas

Tás a ver a linha do horizonte?
A levitar, a evitar que o céu se desmonte
Foi seguindo essa linha que notei que o mar
Na verdade é uma ponte
Atravessei e fui a outros litorais
E no começo eu reparei nas diferenças
Mas com o tempo eu percebi
E cada vez percebo mais
Como as vidas são iguais
Muito mais do que se pensa
Mudam as caras
Mas todas podem ter as mesmas expressões
Mudam as línguas mas todas têm
Suas palavras carinhosas e os seus calões
As orações e os deuses também variam
Mas o alívio que eles trazem vem do mesmo lugar
Mudam os olhos e tudo que eles olham
Mas quando molham todos olham com o mesmo olhar
Seja onde for uma lágrima de dor
Tem apenas um sabor e uma única aparência
A palavra saudade só existe em português
Mas nunca faltam nomes se o assunto é ausência
A solidão apavora mas a nova amizade encoraja
E é por isso que a gente viaja
Procurando um reencontro uma descoberta
Que compense a nossa mais recente despedida
Nosso peito muitas vezes aperta
Nossa rota é incerta
Mas o que não incerto na vida?

Tás a ver a vida como ela é?
Tás a ver a vida como tem que ser?
Tás a ver a vida como a gente quer?
Tás a ver a vida pra gente viver?

Nossa vida é feita
De pequenos nadas

A vida é feita de pequenos nadas
Que a gente saboreia, mas não dá valor
Um pensamento, uma palavra, uma risada
Uma noite enluarada ou um sol a se pôr
Um bom dia, um boa tarde, um por favor
Simpatia é quase amor
Uma luz acendendo, uma barriga crescendo
Uma criança nascendo, obrigado senhor
Seja lá quem for o senhor
Seja lá quem for a senhora
A quem quiser me ouvir e a mim mesmo
Preciso dizer tudo que eu estou dizendo agora
Preciso acreditar na comunicação
Não há melhor antídoto pra solidão

E é por isso que eu não fico satisfeito
Em sentir o que eu sinto
Se o que sinto fica só no meu peito
Por mais que eu seja egoísta
Aprendi a dividir minhas derrotas e minhas conquistas
Nada disso me pertence
É tudo temporário no tapete voador do calendário
Já que temos forças pra somar e dividir
Enquanto estivermos aqui
Se me ouvires cantando, canta comigo
Se me vires chorando, sorri

Tás a ver a vida como ela é?
Tás a ver a vida como tem que ser?
Tás a ver a vida como agente quer?
Tás a ver a vida pra gente viver?

Nossa vida é feita
De pequenos nadas

"Walking After You"

Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just won't do without you matter of fact
I'm on your back

If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you

If you'd accept surrender
Give up some more
Weren't you adored
I cannot be without you matter of fact
I'm on your back

If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two
I'm on your back


by Foo Fighters

"Stay Together For The Kids"

Its hard to wake up
When the shades have been pulled shut
This house is haunted
It's so pathetic
It makes no sense at all
I'm ripe with things to say
the words rot and fall away
If a stupid poem could fix this home, I'd read it every day

So here's your holiday
hope you enjoy it this time
you gave it all away
It was mine
So when your dead and gone
Will you remember this night
Twenty years now lost
It's not right

The anger hurts my ears
Been running strong for seven years
Rather then fix the problem
They never solve them
It makes no sense at all
I see them everyday
We get along so why can't they?
If this is what he wants
And its what she wants
Then whys there so much pain?

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when your dead and gone
Will you remember this night
Twenty years now lost
It's not right

So here's your holiday
Hope you enjoy it this time
You gave it all away
It was mine
So when your dead and gone
Will you remember this night
Twenty years now lost
It's not right

"What's This Life For?"

Hurray for a child
That makes it through
If there's any way
Because the answer lies in you
They're laid to rest
Before they know just what to do
Their souls are lost
Because they could never find
What's this life for
I see your soul, it's kind of gray
I see your heart, you look away
You see my wrist, I know your pain
I know your purpose on your plane
Don't say a last prayer
Because you could never find
What's this life for
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
Cause we all live
Under the reign of one king

"Evolution Revolution Love"

Now that you got it right
Bring love and it'll make it alright
Bring love and we'll take it tonight
Now that you got it right

Who wants the sinner
Coming 'round for dinner
Who needs effects
Who needs to pay for sex
When they drop the bomb
Who will stay calm
Blood will spill
Who would you kill

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has just begun

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has just begun

Walking down the road with my little rude gun
Top of my gun, cock it for fun
Block on ya tongue
Top of my earth
Tip of my birth
Top of my death
Tip of my breast
Top of my chest
Tip of my guess
I like the singles
I got the jingles
Bet you ate Springles
Walking on your road with my little rude gun

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has just begun

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has just begun

Stepping on the street with my little rude girl
Tip of my toes
Top of my world
Top of my world
Top of my earth
Top of my rock
Tip of my block
Now that you got it right
Bring love and I'll make it alright
Bring love and we'll take it tonight
Now that you got it right

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has just begun

She was born in the ghetto outside the Bronx
In the project blocks
Where time stands still
It don't tick, it don't tock
Top of my sun
Tip of my land
Top of my chest
Tip of my breast
Top of my earth
Tip of my rock
Walking on the road with my soul in my hand
Tip of my toes
Top of my span

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has
Just begun

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has
Just begun, just begun, just begun, just begun

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has
Just begun

"Schism"

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing,
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communicatioon.

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over.
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication.

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it.
Finding beauty in the dissonance.

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the the math enough to know the dangers of a second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication.

Cold, cold, cold,
Cold silence has
A tendency to
Atrophy any
Sense of compassion.

Between supposed lovers
Between supposed brothers.

I know the pieces fit.
I know the pieces fit!


by Tool

"A Thousand Years"

A thousand years, a thousand more,
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to face

A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point , this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your face

I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head

I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes
Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief
I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief

I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
'Til you love me


by Sting

"Superstar Pt. Zero"

Yo, the year is 2002
It's the end of the jiggy era
People on the planet Earth are tired
In an effort to aid a great shipment millions of bodies incarnate (GET UP!)
To rock mic's

Complex, this hip hop alchemy
When I was a kid I watched Electric Company
Now I'm all grown living life to the bone
New tone, spaceship take me home
Back to the seventh sun the seventh one
When I drop patience, Kevin's Dun
This eloquent macula is black enough
To bring a shake to Dracula
Uh, I'm hitting them with synonym adrenaline
Then I send them to the kingdom of the heavens
A matter of time before this rhyme
Infiltrates the bloodstream into the mind
Of a man living a life in Babylonia
So lonely she went to California
Frisco, hypno's, get clothes
Crystals, take it back to the raw rap

(You, you blind baby. You're blind from the fact oh yeah cause you're
watching that garbage!)

Ooh I love this girl
She's a superstar
You can't change the world

You're a superstar

(Okay, here we go. Verse two.)

Yo, I got a lyrical shot aimed at the T. Dot
Telling me that you are, when you know that you're not
Uptown, chilling at the corner store
Thinking, 'Why the hell do I front, I'm hardcore'
Like Castro, master flows pass the golden links
Whatever you think its all old, you get it?
Whatever the cost I will not floss
Emcees act the boss they all get tossed
Off the plank
Hold the dank I don't burn
I got a lot to say but really lots to learn
Turn, baby you're just not concerned
Whatever earned, thinking of the most high earned
I flip with this some hit, some miss
Don't get fooled by lyrical ventriloquist the twist
Most flee I'm Kris ?Najy?
Come back to flip rap
Do it to crowd make 'em clap

Superstar, superstar, superstar

Ooh I love this girl
She's a superstar
You can't change the world
You're a superstar

(Get up! Get up! Come on!)

"Bother"

Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason
My flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten
With its memories
Diaries left
With cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on:
I'll never live down my deceit

"Did My Time"

Realized I can never win
Sometimes I feel like I have failed
Inside where do I begin
My mind is laughing at me
Tell me why am I to blame
Aren't we suppose to be the same
That's why I will never tame
This thing that's burning in me

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Sometimes I can never tell
If I've got something after me
That's why I just beg and plead
For this curse to leave me
Tell me why am I to blame
Aren't we suppose to be the same
That's why I will never tame
This thing that's burning in me

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Betrayed
I feel so enslaved
I really Tried
I did my time
I did my time

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Oh God, the anger's changing me

"Closure"

Breathe, trust, bless me and release,
Climb, hard or never be seen.
Closed off, rescue to breathe.
Just bless me.

Two sided time,
Your rebirth can't hurt,
Branch out behind, the pain.

Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.
Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.

Had to to turn, lay down,
Your sting of disease.
Phase you out, should've seen this coming.
Go on confusing the soul,
Hold my breath 'til you rupture.

Three days aside,
Your rebirth can't hurt,
Branch out behind, pride.

Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.
Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.

Like a leach,
I hold on as if we belonged,
To some precious pure dream.
Cast off, you've seen what's beneath,
Now fail me.

Forget closure,
Forget closure,
Forget closure,
Forget closure.

Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.
Closure has come to me myself,
You will never belong to me.

"Duality"

I push my fingers into my eyes...
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache...
But it's made of all the things I have to take...
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside...
If the pain goes on...
Aaaaaaaah!

I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I've waited as my time's elapsed
Now, All I do is live with so much fate
I've wished for this, I've bitched at that
I've left behind this little fact:
You cannot kill what you did not create
I've gotta say what I've gotta say
And then I swear I'll go away
But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise
I guess I'll save the best for last
My future seems like one big past
You're left with me 'cause you left me no choice

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
If the pain goes on,
I'm not gonna make it!

Put me back together
Or separate the skin from bone
Leave me all the Pieces, then you can leave me
alone
Tell me the reality is better than the dream
But I found out the hard way,
Nothing is what it seems!

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on,
I'm not gonna make it!

All I've got...all I've got is insane...
All I've got...all I've got is insane...
All I've got...all I've got is insane!
All I've got...all I've got is insane!

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on,
I'm not gonna make it!

"Portugal, Portugal"

Tiveste gente de muita coragem
E acreditaste na tua mensagem
Foste ganhando terreno
E foste perdendo a memória

Já tinhas meio mundo na mão
Quiseste impor a tua religião
E acabaste por perder a liberdade
A caminho da glória

Ai, Portugal, Portugal
De que é que tu estás à espera?
Tens um pé numa galera
E outro no fundo do mar
Ai, Portugal, Portugal
Enquanto ficares à espera
Ninguém te pode ajudar

Tiveste muita carta para bater
Quem joga deve aprender a perder
Que a sorte nunca vem só
Quando bate à nossa porta

Esbanjaste muita vida nas apostas
E agora trazes o desgosto às costas
Não se pode estar direito
Quando se tem a espinha torta

Ai, Portugal, Portugal
De que é que tu estás à espera?
Tens um pé numa galera
E outro no fundo do mar
Ai, Portugal, Portugal
Enquanto ficares à espera
Ninguém te pode ajudar

Fizeste cegos de quem olhos tinha
Quiseste pôr toda a gente na linha
Trocaste a alma e o coração
Pela ponta das tuas lanças

Difamaste quem verdades dizia
Confundiste amor com pornografia
E depois perdeste o gosto
De brincar com as tuas crianças

Ai, Portugal, Portugal
De que é que tu estás à espera?
Tens um pé numa galera
E outro no fundo do mar
Ai, Portugal, Portugal
Enquanto ficares à espera
Ninguém te pode ajudar

"Exploder"

I met a man locked away
For things he hadn't done
Innocence on a ball and chain
He'll never feel the sun
Again on his face or roses
In his hands but when he smiled
At me I could understand

If you're free you'll never see the walls
If your head is clear you'll never free fall
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong
If your head is high you'll never fear at all

There was a daughter of a man
Who took his life too young
She swore she'd never do the same
Then did just what he'd done
And a boy who's gone insane
Voices in his head
No one knows what they say
Now his mother's dead

If you're free you'll never see the walls
If your head is clear you'll never free fall
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong
If your head is high you'll never fear at all

There was a man who had a face
That looked alot like me
I saw him in the mirror and
I fought him in the street
And when he turned away
I shot him in the head
Then I came to realize
I had killed myself

If you're free you'll never see the walls
If your head is clear you'll never free fall
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong
If your head is high you'll never fear at all

"Fire Water Burn"

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire,
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire,
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire,
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn,
Burn motherfucker burn.

Hello my name is Jimmy Pop and I'm a dumb white guy,
I'm not old or new but middle school fifth grade like junior high,
I don't know mofo if y'all peeps be buggin' give props to my ho cause she all fly,
But I can take the heat cause I'm the other white meat known as 'Kid Funky Fried',
Yeah I'm hung like planet Pluto hard to see with the naked eye,
But if I crashed into Uranus I would stick it where the sun don't shine,
Cause I'm kind of like Han Solo always stroking my own wookie,
I'm the root of all that's evil yeah but you can call me cookie,
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire,
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire,
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire,
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn,
Burn motherfucker burn.

Yo yo this hard-core ghetto gangster image takes a lot of practice,
I'm not black like Barry White no I am white like Frank Black is,
So if man is five and the devil is six than that must make me seven,
This honkey's gone to heaven,
But if I go to hell then I hope I burn well,
I'll spend my days with J.F.K., Marvin Gaye, Martha Raye, and Lawrence Welk,
And Kurt Cobain, Kojak, Mark Twain and Jimi Hendrix's poltergeist,
And Webster yeah Emmanuel Lewis cause he's the anti-christ,
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire,
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire,
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire,
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn,
Burn motherfucker burn.

Everybody here we go,
Ohh Ohh,
C'mon party people,

Throw your hands in the air,
Ohh Ohh,

Everybody here we go.

"Under The Bridge"

Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I drive on her streets
'Cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills
'Cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

It's hard to believe
That there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all that way

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away

"In The End"

(It starts with)
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me, will eventually,
Be a memory of a time when I tried so hard

And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end

You kept everything inside and even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me, will eventually,
Be a memory of a time when I tried so hard

And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

"Falling Away From Me"

Hey, I'm feeling tired.
My time, is gone today.
You flirt with suicide.
Sometimes, that's ok.
Do what others say.
I'm here, standing hollow.
Falling away from me.
Falling away from me.
Day, is here fading.
That's when, I would say.
I flirt with suicide.
Sometimes kill the pain.
I can always say.
'It's gonna be better tomorrow'.
Falling away from me.
Falling away from me.

Beating me down.
Beating me, beating me.
Down, down.
Into the ground.
Screaming some sound.
Beating me, beating me.
Down, down.
Into the ground.

(falling away from me).
It's spinning round and round.
(falling away from me).
It's lost and can't be found.
(falling away from me).
It's spinning round and round.
(falling away from me).
Slow it down.

Beating me down.
Beating me, beating me.
Down, down.
Into the ground.
Screaming some sound.
Beating me, beating me.
Down, down.
Into the ground.

Twisting me, they won't go away.
So I pray, go away.

Life's falling away from me.
It's falling away from me.
Life's falling away from me.
Fuck!

Beating me down.
Beating me, beating me.
Down, down.
Into the ground.
Screaming some sound.
Beating me, beating me.
Down, down.
Into the ground.

"Paths Of Glory"

You squirt out red and turn so yellow
And then you made me kill my own
I'm not afraid
(coming, coming)
But I'm afraid

Blood in your eyes again
Bravery, the face of man
Blood on your mind again
Chivalry, the face of man
Blood in your lies again
Enemy, the face of man
Blood in your eyes, again

Is this the only path of glory?
If so then I won't go alone
Follow the trail
(running) Follow the trail

I'm not afraid
But I'm afraid


by Faith No More

"Nutshell"

We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home


My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead


by Alice In Chains

"The End Is Here"

Endless day
We search for what we hold inside
So hard to find
Luck turns
Will the fallen ever reach within
And rise again

For the rest of my life
I will find the answers
That were always here
I will find the meaning this time
I will fight the end
Till the end is here

Wasted time
With words that seem to break our will
They blind us still
Without a care
They tarnish what we hold so dear
What was once so clear

For the rest of my life
I will find the answers
That were always here
I will find the meaning this time
I will fight the end
Till the end is here


by Alter Bridge

"Letting The Cables Sleep"

You in the dark, you in the pain
You on the run
Living a hell, living your ghost
Living your end
Never seem to get in the place that i belong
Don't want to lose the time, lose the time to come

Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright

Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way

You in the sea on a decline breaking the waves
Watching the lights go down
Letting the cables sleep

Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright

Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
We'll wrap the world around it
If heaven is on the way

I'm a stranger in this town, i'm a stranger in this town

If heaven is on the way


by Bush

"Sober"

There's a shadow just behind me,
shrouding every step I take,
making every promise empty,
pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler,
who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path called must we,
just because the son has come.
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle,
something but the past and done?
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle,
something but the past and done?
Why can't we not be sober?
Just want to start this over.
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start things over.

I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you,
just enough to bring you down.
Mother Mary won't you whisper,
something but what's past and done.
Mother Mary won't you whisper,
something but what's past and done.
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over.

I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me.
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over.
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over.

I want, what I want.

"So Long"

(Do you ever have bad dreams? All I have is bad dreams)

I knew a man with a son
Who bought him a gun
And learned shorty just how to use it
Taught him hunting and skining
Right from the begining
Built himself a mighty fine killer
But shorty got picked on
Beat on and kicked on
And all his classmates wanna punk him
So with tears in his eye
He catch him in a ride
And told his old man he went hunting
And he felt so free
Like his destiny
Lay somewhere out on the horizon
His heart went cold
He felt a hundred years old
And started pulling back on the trigger

I think I'm gonna die today
And everyone who hurt me's gonna pay
How could such a short time feel so long
How could such a young life go so wrong

(What's it gonna take for you to really make it in life?)

See me
Hear me
But don't touch me
You should fear me
Lived your life dearly
'Cause I'm seriously disturbed
That's my word
Straight to my mother
Wayne, my brother
Who found another one to play sucker
'Cause I ain't the one
Who put shade in your sun
And took all your shine
Watch me get mine
Feel my love burn
Me for my sins
Watch the world turn
The saga begins
Losses and wins
Angels and sins
Dancin' on top
O' the head of a pin
Don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
I can't hear a sound
I clapped a full round
I came to get down
I came to get dirty
I came to get even

I think I'm gonna die today
And everyone who hurt me's gonna pay
How could such a short time feel so long
How could such a young life go so wrong

Momma, don't cry
Please, momma, don't cry
Momma, don't cry
You did nothing wrong

"Home"

Wreckage - My mind
Insecure - All the time
Once loved - now paralyzed
I once thought - I'll never die

Frustrated - our simple life
No one listens - everyone lies
Who said "Home is where you hide"?

Strong as shit and now you see

I'm home - leave it to me
(leave it to me now that you've seen)
I'm home - leave it to me
(leave it to me)

From left to right...

I tried - my father said,
I'm scared - she always said
They grab and pull until I tear

Meaning - Too deep to swim
When's a good time for the end?
Who said I was your friend?

I'm home - leave it to me
(leave it to me now that you've seen)
I'm home - leave it to me
(leave it to me)

From left to right...

Suffocated - our simple life
No one listens - everyone dies
Never a chance - how could you see?

I'm home - leave it to me
(leave it to me)
I'm home - leave it to me
(leave it to me now that you've seen)
I'm home - leave it to me
(leave it to me)
I'm home - leave it to me
(what the fuck did you say?)

From left to right...

" Best Of You"

I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love you'd die to heal
The hope that starts the broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

"Casa (Vem Fazer de Conta)"

Era tudo quando ela me dizia,
“Benvindo a casa”, numa voz bem calma
Acabado de entrar, pensava como reconfortava a alma
nunca tão poucas palavras tiveram tanto significado
e de repente era assim, do nada, um ser iluminado -
e tudo fazia sentido, respirar fazia sentido,
andar fazia sentido, todo o pequeno pormenor em pensamento perdido
era isto que realmente importava,
não qualquer outro tipo de gratificação

Não o quanto se ganha,
não o bem que dizem de nós não
um novo carro, não uma boa poupança,
nem sequer a família, ou a tal aliança - nada…

Apenas duas palavras, um artigo,
formavam a resposta universal

A minha pedra filosofal
Seguia para dentro do nosso pequeno universo
Um pouco disperso - pronto a ser submerso
Naquele mar de temperatura amena que a minha pequena
abria para mim sempre tranquila e serena, ena…

Tento ter a força para levar o que é meu
Sei que às vezes vai também um pouco de nós
Devo concordar que às vezes falta-nos a razão
Mas nego que há razões para nos sentirmos tão sós
Vem fazer de conta eu acredito em ti
Estar contigo é estar com o que julgas melhor
Nunca vamos ter o amor a rir para nós
Quando queremos nós ter um sorriso maior

Tento ter a força para levar o que é meu
Sei que às vezes vai também um pouco de nós
Devo concordar que às vezes falta-nos a razão
Mas nego que há razões para nos sentirmos tão sós
Vem fazer de conta eu acredito em ti
Estar contigo é estar com o que julgas melhor
Nunca vamos ter o amor a rir para nós
Quando queremos nós ter um sorriso maior

Bem-vindo a casa dizia quando saia de dentro dela
O bonito paradoxo inventado por uma dama bela
Em dias que o tempo parou, gravou dançou,
não tou capaz de ir atrás, mas vou
porque sou trapalhão, perdi a chave e já nem sei bem o caminho
nestes dias difusos em que ando sozinho e definho
à procura de uma casa nova do caixão até a cova
o percurso é duro em toda a linha, sempre à prova
o calor é um alimento que eu preciso
o amor é apenas um constante aviso
se sabes que eu não vivo dessa forma
tu sabes que eu não sinto dessa forma

Por isso escrevo na esperança que ela ouça o meu pedido
de desculpas
de Socorro
de abrigo
não consigo
ver uma razão para continuar a viver sem a felicidade do meu lar
da minha casa, doce casa, já ouviram falar?

É o refúgio de uma mulher que deus ousou criar
Com o simples e unico propósito de me abrigar
Não vejo a hora de voltar lá para dentro, faz frio cá for a
Faz tanto frio cá fora que eu já não vejo a hora…
