Our Lady Peace
"Lying Awake"
I'm here to wear you out
I'm here to watch you hide
Nothing to figure out
I'm here to watch you die
Running away from the breast of
Your busy giant healing machine
Nobody left in line
Noone to make you shine
Hanging on to the backs of opinions
You're borrowed & betrayed
Lying awake
Don't ask why you should pay for this
A mother
Another
A shameless abusing
But this time we're saving you
I'm here to break you down
I'm here to bury time
Nothing to talk about
Nothing to change my mind
Tears for Fears
"Change"
You walked in to the room
I just had to laugh
The face you wore was cool
You were a photograph
When it's all too late
It's all too late
I did not have the time
I did not have the nerve
To ask you how you feel
Is this what you deserve
When it's all too late
It's all too late
Change
You can change
And something on your mind
Became a point of view
You lost your honesty
I lost the life in you
When it's all too late
It's all too late
We walk and talk in time
I walk and talk in two
Where does the end of me
Become the start of you
When it's all too late
It's all too late
What has happened to
The friend that I once knew
Has he gone away
Blue October
"Now Is the Day"
All the way from America, you're riding in to town
With your head in the Snowplains you hardly touched the ground
You tell me how its gonna be
You tell me how its gonna be
All the way from the badlands, you read between the lines
Reaching out for the sick hands, to all the tiny minds
You show me where you're gonna go
You show me where you're gonna go
Now is the day that we've been longing to start
They don't understand your point of view
Show me the way to drum the beat from your heart
And take all the pain you're going through
It's in the fields and the alleyways, its burning through the town
Crawling out from the subway, to turn up over ground
You tell me how its gonna be
You tell me how its gonna be
Well I believe in another way, that you couldn't understand
We'll see a chance in a new day and seize it from your hand
Don't tell me how its gonna be
Don't tell me how its gonna be
Now is the day that we've been longing to start
They don't understand your point of view
Show me the way to drum the beat from your heart
And take all the pain you're going through
Dashboard Confessional
"Vindicated"
Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing, and so hypnotizing
I am captivated,
I am...
[Chorus]
Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that I am...
[Chorus]
So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x]
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away [4x]
[Chorus]
Like hope
Dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

"Night Alone"
This wasn't just another night alone
My mind has cornered me against the wall
Bleeding, scratching fingernails are gone
The scars on my wall tell this all
I'm feeling like the worst is yet to come
Because the night has just begun
Please let me breathe, you're choking me and my feelings
This is my fault, downward I fall
My mind slipping, my mind slipping away
I never thought this night could come again
My mind has proven me wrong in the end
The confidence in me is wearing thin
No matter what, my mind will win
Please let me breathe, you're choking me and my feelings
This is my fault, downward I fall
My mind slipping, my mind slipping away
Please let me breathe, you're choking me and my feelings
Please let me breathe, you're choking me and my feelings
My feelings
This is my fault, downward I fall
My mind slipping, my mind slipping away
Mest
"Shell Of Myself"
The nightmares not over.
The sky is still covered with blood that we both spilled.
That night that we last shared.
Lately
I've been
A shell of myself can't you see?
I can not hold back
The feelings of fear within me.
This nightmare has no end.
The walls still black and red.
This figures haunting me.
This fears consuming me.

Lately
I've been
A shell of myself can't you see?
I can not hold back
The feelings of fear within me.
Side note: Holy she-hat!! I've never heard this song and there are more after what I'm posting, but that parts all crap. But still, I can't believe these are Twizted lyrics...tis ruined with the rest, but taken out of context they wrote some good stuff. Same for "Blink" by them, parts of it are really good if taken outta the rest of the utter nonsense they...sing.

"Your The Reazon"
We haven't come to the end of our journey
This is just the begining
The begining of what you ask?
The begining of forever
Through the eyes of many we are judged daily
And although their hatred for use may seem great
It will never surpass the love we pledge to each and every one of ya'll
Show me the reason why...
(we do the things that we do)
Show me the reason why...
(take a chance with me I won't let you down)
Show me the reason why...
(we represent the underground always have always will now)
Show me the reason why...
(take a chance with me I won't let you down)
...
Ok, one last one. I know you've all heard this song (if you haven't you need to get out more, even I know it. At first I just liked this song because it was really pleasant sounding and had a good feel to it. But today at work some retards in the parking lot were blasting their music and one of the songs they played was this. Seeing as I do a lot of thinking at work anyways, catching this song at that given time made me really think about the lyrics more and question myself. Here it is:

"The Reason"
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
"A reason for all that I do." Heh...wonder what that is.
