01. Brand New // The Shower Scene
It's funny how your worst enemies
always seem to turn out to be all of your best friend's best friends/
But I folded and I told/These aren't the things I've saved to sink you/
So draw or throw and I will explode/It's time for you to choose/
the bullet or the chapstick
02. Embraced // Saratoga
How does it feel to know that your going to burn/Feel the flesh fall off onto the floor/
There's a chance you can make it/There a chance you could die/
Long before the time of never/Is your choice to wonder why?
03. Rx Bandits // Lost
friends with me today/friends with me but not tomorrow/there is nothing left to say/
because i lost them/ what did i do/lost a handful found a few/my hearts still close to you/
hold me so tight/don't let me drown/what's deep inside/i won't let go
04. Chiodos // The Words "Best Friend" Become Redefined
Your cold pale skin and tainted purple lips/Let me embrace you with this kiss
And together we'll float like angels/Higher than the heavens the clouds part ways/
Promise me to never look down and we'll stay like this forever/
If your stomach feels weak then my work here is done/To hide from our twisted ways
05. Thrice // Kill Me Quickly
Can we kill each other quickly?/Quick enough so I won't feel it?/
A shot of strobe light anesthesia and I'll be fine/'Cause I'm beginning to feel cold/
My hands are shaking from fear/white from clutching my pride/red from cutting you/
and blue from telling lies/Cause I'm sick of the stabbing/I'm sick of the breaking/
I'm sick of the bleeding until we fall down/sick of this circle of death that we dance through
06. Acceptance // Black Lines to Battlefields
anything to past the test/you passed the test/like screaming in the air/
the sound for all who care/the siren rings in vain/when lightning hits the ground/
to all who stand around/the shock of ignorance/Black lines can turn to battlefields
07. Anatomy of a Ghost // Distress in the Control Tower
Tear us down so we can cut our throats/Leaving the words written in sky/
No we won't put these hands down tonight/Breathing takes practice/and its practice we missed/
So we die/end transmission/we're giving up
08. Paramore // Conspiracy
Please speak softly, for they will hear us/And they'll find out why we don't trust them/
Speak up dear cause I cannot hear you/I need to know why we don't trust them/
Explain to me this conspiracy against me/And tell me how I've lost my power
09. Cursive // The Night I Lost the Will to Fight
I need a catalyst, to rekindle the flame/That once burned within these fists where defeat remains/
One February night/we screamed our agonies/And I swear I tried to care/I tried, I tried.../
(And) I lost the will to fight...
10. The Ataris // Losing Streak
Forget about friendship/Let's destroy the enemy/Well if there's one thing that I've learned/
My enemies are just as close to me/Don't give up fighting 'til nothing else stands in your way/
Don't give up talking until there's nothing left to say/But no matter what you do/
Don't ever compromise what you believe.
11. Anberlin // Never Take Friendship Personal
The greatest tragedy is not your death/But a life without reason/Your life has no purpose/
Your life has no reason/Your life has no purpose/Innocence gone/Never take friendship personal/
If you can't hold yourself together/Why should I hold you now?
12. AFI // God Called in Sick Today
I'll let animosity unwind/Steal away the darkened pages, hidden so shamefully/
I'll still feel the violence of the lines/I can't stand my laughter as they cry/
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes
13. Cartel // Save us
We're standing on the edge of this/When our soul is gone what will we miss?/
We lost what it takes to really make it feel/But the better days behind us now/
We all need someone to tell us how/To save the state of where we are/
It keeps demanding more and more and more/And who will save us?
14. Club 8 // We Set Ourselves Free
we set ourselves free and now we'll be forever wondering/
we set ourselves free and now we'll be forever wandering
