01. Aluminum City -- Honeycut
[instrumental]
02. Split Personality -- Pink
I do not trust, so I cannot love
And I will not dare to open up
Tell me, what do they see when they look at me?
Do they see my many personalities?
Tell me, why can't I just reach up and simply touch the sky?
Tell me, why can't I spread my arms and fly and fly and fly?
Tell me, why can't I say this, why can't I do that?
Tell me, what do they want from me?
Tell me how to act!
03. Famous Monsters -- Saliva
You're a famous monster,
You do whatever they offer
You tie their noose around your neck
And they throw you over,
'Cause you’re a famous monster
Look at your mind,
Look at the strength you never found
You lean on your pride,
The only friend that would never let you down
04. I Am I -- Queensrÿche
Beating with life you promised life,
Security, happiness, unfortunate son cornered,
Cowering in the pit of circling panes of glass
That surround and reveal the ever present "It"
"It" is my move, my every look, interpreting gestures,
Informing other what's undercover and
Lurking beneath my mask of this year's featured model
Is this too much? Close your eyes
Care to look inside? I am I!
What may appear might easily be explained,
But given the situation of info saturation,
What you feel can never go away
05. Scars In The Making -- Fuel
Do you ever see these shadows over me?
And all the things you left that leave me hollow
Do you ever feel, in time we're forced to heal?
And all the bitter pills you made me swallow
I could never make you fall
Or anything at all
And I'll never understand
What you hold sacred
Every memory that I hold
Were all just scars in the making
And all the things we can't let go
Were all just scars in the making
06. Under The Rose -- H.I.M.
I dream of the winter in my heart turning to spring
While the ice gives way under my feet
And so I drown with the sun
I open my eyes with a sigh of relief
As the warmth of summer's sunlight dances around me
And I see you with dead leaves in your hands
I've been burning in water and drowning in flame
To prove you wrong and scare you away
I admit my defeat and want back home,
In your heart, under the rose
07. Sound Of Madness -- Shinedown
Yeah, I get it, you're an outcast,
Always under attack, always coming in last
Bringing up the past, no one owes you anything
I think you need a shotgun blast, a kick in the ass
So paranoid, watch your back
Another loose cannon gone bi-polar
Slipped down, couldn't get much lower
Quicksand's got no sense of humor
I'm still laughing like hell
You think that by crying to me,
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe
You've been infected by a social disease,
Well, then take your medicine
08. Fear -- Pauley Perrette
Are you scared to lose? Are you afraid to choose?
Are you afraid you’ll win? Are you scared of your own sin?
Are you scared to forgive? Are you afraid to live?
Are you afraid to die? Do you think you told a lie?
To live when you think you’re dying,
To laugh when you feel like crying,
To stand when you think you’re gonna fall,
It’s just fear after all
It’s only fear after all
09. All I Ever Wanted -- Amick Byram & Linda Dee Shayne (Prince of Egypt)
Gleaming in the moonlight, cool and clean
And all I've ever known, all I ever wanted
Sweet perfumes of incense, graceful rooms
Of alabaster stone, all I ever wanted
This is my home, with my father, mother, brother,
Oh so noble, oh so strong; now I am home
Here among my trappings and belongings I belong,
And if anybody doubts it, they couldn't be more wrong
I am a sovereign prince of Egypt
A son of the proud history that's shown
Etched on ev'ry wall
Surely this is all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
10. If Today Was Your Last Day -- Nickelback
If today was your last day,
And tomorrow was too late,
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past,
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day
Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
11. Vindicated -- Dashboard Confessional
Hope dangles on a string, like slow spinning redemption,
Winding in, winding out, the shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in, so mesmerizing,
So hypnotizing, I am captivated,
I am 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
12. Only One -- Lifehouse
I guess you're the only one
That nobody changes,
I guess you're the only one
Left standing when everything else goes down
It's so shallow and all so appealing
I'm up to my ankles and I'm drowning anyway,
In a sea of sarcastic faces, familiar places
Everything looks quite the same here
It's all confusingly amusing,
Bitter and tainted, the picture you painted to me
13. From The Lost Days -- Melissa Williamson
Hey there to my future self,
If you forget how to smile
I have this to tell you,
Remember it once in a while
Ten years ago your past self
Prayed for your happiness,
Please don't lose hope
Though I can't know for sure
How things worked out for us,
No matter how hard it gets,
You have to realize
We weren't put on this earth to suffer and cry
We were made to be happy
So be happy, for me, for you, please
14. It Could Be Sweet -- Portishead
I don't want to hurt you,
For no reason have I but fear
And I ain't guilty of crimes you accused me of,
But I'm guilty of fear
You don't get something for nothing, turn now
Hmm gotta try a little harder
It could be sweet,
But the thoughts we try to deny
Take a toll upon our lives
We struggle on in depths of pride,
Tangled up in single minds
15. Ruin It -- Alkaline Trio
I've waited a long time for this life, just to ruin it
So please don't ruin this for me, yes I understand this lie
Hell I crossed those T's and scratched out all these I's
Myself last night, when I promised not to fight
Did I stay inside to sterilize this knife?
Am I being too careful? Does this seem right?
Did I open up the shades? To expose these sunny rays,
To show what’s burned there inside?
Yeah take a close look, hold me right up to the light
16. Jamais Vu -- Dredg
Is this what you wanted,
Is this what you needed to have?
Take all that I've known
Is this what you wanted,
Is this what you need me to fear?
Take all that I've found, yeah
I’m not inside you
You're all around me
Is this what you needed to have for comfort?
I waited all this time above you
17. Intuition -- Feist
What gives, what helps the intuition?
I'll know, I'll know, oh,
I won't have to be shown the way home
A destination known only by the one
Whose fate is overgrown
Piecemeal can break your home in half
And you choose, you chose poetry over prose
A map is more unreal than where you've been
Or how you feel
18. Falling -- Balligomingo
Lightning flashes, river swells,
And I’m crashing to the ground
Feels like I’m walking through the sand,
Water seeping through my veins
I feel just like a child when I’m in your arms,
Falling fast and deep, falling into heat,
Falling to my knees, falling free
And I want to be strong,
‘Cause I want you in my life
Feels like I’m floating through open air,
You’re flames seeping through me
19. Streetlights -- Ludo
The pavement is aching, cicadas are crying,
The wine-colored air breathing thoughts through your hair
Breezing to me, leading me there
I come alive as the shadows parade
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid of what you'll say
And I find you, twilit beyond all the cars,
In driveways the sleep, but streetlights will keep watch over me,
They flicker like stars
