Just sitting outside. Just thinking of everything that happened to me these fast few years. A lot of things flashed back in my head. It has come to this stage that I will have to figure out if what I thought were right had been wrong. There were nights of tears. Nights of angst. Nights alone. It's one of so many nights that I have needed someone to talk to but there's no one. I don't understand why some people you've known your friend easily forget. I badly need one to listen to me, to comfort, and to tell me or make me feel "I'm just here."
Different kinds of people came in my life. Like a jigsaw puzzle, they represented every piece of me. Dark or light, they have colors spread to the whole picture. People come and go but they leave their share of the puzzle.
During these nights, there are just two things that never leave. First, my music that still echo in my ears that reminds me of the lines and rythm. Second, my cigarette that reminds me that everything ends... that everything loses it's warmth and glow... that every butt should be thrown away after the last smoke fade away...

when I was a kid
I used to have two people at my side when I sleep
on my right was my mother
on my left was my father
but now i've grown up,
things have changed, like everything was blown up
my mother on my left side
and a pillow on my right side
wondering why the pillow is there
when he, who should be there
he, who should be hugging me
he, who should be beside me
I still remember the days
when he carried me always
always there to make me happy
always there when i'm lonely
I love how you tickle me with your beard
love the way your big hands hold my small hands
i love hearing your heartbeat
until I fell asleep
I miss the days when you cook for me
scolding me when i'm not eating properly
I miss the way we laugh together
taking me with you on your motorcycle
and now that you're gone
don't you know that i'm missing you so much?
I wish to see you once more
kiss and hug you once more
I know that you're always there beside us
always looking after us
I'm lucky that i'm your DAUGHTER
and I am proud that you're my FATHER

SERIOUSLY SPEAKING II
Who’s Geoff?
1. Music
•Loves listening to rock music but does like some RnB and Rap music too.
2. Band
•My favorite local band is Eraserheads but unfortunately they were disbanded a decade ago. I guess after they have finished their contract with BMG. I have completed their 10 albums and also the solo album of Ely Buendia. I love all of their songs and that made me one of their avid fans. I always wanted to see their concerts and fed myself with lots of infos about their whereabouts and also about their lives. Ang Huling El Bimbo stayed on top of the charts for so many months! They have captured the hearts of millions of Filipino people. I always love listening to their song “Minsan.” The song is about remembering the friendship, the start and the end, and that whatever happens one day they’d be there when someone’s in need. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Yeah, a friend would never run to you if he doesn’t know you are his friend. Damn! I missed some of them. The few real friends I have. Life’s changing and life’s a constant change. Just go with the flow.
•My favorite foreign band is Ash and I was and still in love the song “Lost in You.” My favorite song on top of the others. I remember my best friend Zion called it the “you are always on my mind song.” Yeah, I have the record but the cassette tape I had was lost. I guess someone has borrowed it but he didn’t show up after that. So I was left pathetic! Whenever I had the time I always request for it on FM Radios especially when I was in Metro Manila. Yeah! Damn missed NU107 too and of course my beloved 1047ONFM. Oh! I remember Campus Radio! I loved the station too. They played pure rock and alternatives! Let’s get back to Ash! I also was in loved with “A life Less Ordinary.”
•I also love the songs of Juan Dela Cruz Band, Wolf Gang, Rivermaya, Razorback, Afterimage, Francis M., and all the other Pinoy Rock Bands including the mainstreams! The OPM music is really improving!
•Also, I love the music of Nirvana, Metallica, Everclear, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Serosmith, Offspring, Green Day, Dream Theatre, Smashing Pumpkins, Smash Mouth, Rage Against the Machine and all the others. They are to numerous to mention!
3. Food
•Pinakbet. This is an Ilocos Dish. I have always loved this vegetarian dish. Main ingredients include eggplant, sweet potato, okra, ampalaya, tomato, onions and garlic, and bagoong, the famous fish sauce of Pangasinan! I never stopped loving the food especially when my dad or lola cooked it. Toothsome! I also can cook it! I’m actually craving for it right now!
•Beef Steak! I don’t know how my dad cooked it! Savory! I always tried to prepare it as delicious as he did but to no avail! But anyway I still can cook it and it satisfies my taste buds and the people I have.
•Supreme Pistachio and Strawberry Ice Creams! Ooooh. I wish I have large cups of them right now. There were nights of craving that I wasn’t able to stop myself. Even at late hours I went to convenience stores just to have one! I hope someone could treat me a Hageen Daz ice cream and I’d be sane!
•Nachos and Taccos and Pizzas and French Fries and Garlic Bread and Fried Chicken and Bacon and Cheese and Carrots! I am hunger!Haha.
4. Vices
•I drink Coke and Red Horse and I will always be in loved with Jack Daniels! I was always at bars and clubs or if not I party with some friends at home!
•I smoke Marlboro red or gold or blue. I don’t smoke menthol cigarettes. I use filters all the time. They reduce toxins! LOL
•Am I a drug user? What ya think?
5. Clothing
•I always wear black because I think it is and many would approve black clothes are decent. I look good when I wear black! Even underwears! Freak!
•I always wear my wristwatch. I always check time. Mine is precious!
•Always in black shoes.
6. Hobbies
•Bar hopping. A very costly hobby.
•Listening to my music
•Reading books and novels
•Not that into television and movies but you can see me in a movie house if the film catches my attention. The story or the characters or the actors or actresses. Some are really inspiring and thrilling and exciting!
•Videoke
•Walking down the beach
•Information Super highway Trip!
That’s it for now! Thanks.

SERIOUSLY SPEAKING I
It's been a long time! And I'm doing it again!
My room was messy and I haven't got much time of cleaning my room. My pants hanging on one side, my components and computers are dusty, my ashtray was so full of Marlboro butts, my bed disarranged and I even got long nails. Really had no time for everything. I thought I was lost.
I put my clothes and jacket on and went out of my room. Got really prepared to go to Padis Point Dagupan. Yeah, it's where I always stay. Maybe it has become one of my comfort zone. I even sang a lot of times there. I only sang "The Past" or "Stitches and Burns" and I felt like so pathetic that it seemed like they were the only songs i can sing! Anyway, the crowd always enjoyed the music and they even sang with me most of the time. Yeah, they enjoyed the music but not quite sure they've enjoyed my renditions. Haha. I knew the staffs and crews and bands and i met a lot of people. Some really wanted to dance with me so they dragged me in front or if not i danced with them while seated! Haha. Some exchanged their number but most of them never texted. Oh damn! I forgot my perfume. Bought that Bvlgari or Bulgari (which one is right?) from a friend. Silly thing was we made the transaction at the bar!
So, there I was! On my way to Padis. The tricycle drivers needed not ask where I was heading. They knew where to drop me! I was just expecting two friends that night but after few minutes my table was overcrowded. They have those powerful noses! My two bottles became 5 buckets of 6! I almost wished I have gone to Quattro Grill or Asiana instead. But anyway, i really was enjoying. And the bill came! That was almost P 2,000.00 and the excruciatingly funny thing was I were the only one that paid the bill! I didn't have enough cash so i was quite lucky to have brought my credit card. But it was purely a pain in the ass! I almost choked. Best lesson? Don't bring extra cash or your cards! I did nothing but to turn the bottle of Red Horse Beer and drank it bottoms up! Amazing! Too much spending! After that, I decided to go to the famous "Kaleskesan" of Dagupan City to sober myself. Yeah, sumptuous!
What I am thinking right now are the sermons I have heard from some few concerned friends! Some asked "would they accompany you without those bottles?" "are they going to help you if you'd need them?" So it made me realize a lot of things. They were all true. I think some really were nice to me because they needed the booze. Yeah right... "mas masarap ang libre". I do understand sometimes but to think? They should consider that too much is abusive. I ain't mad. But sometimes they should understand that not every time i would understand them... Peace tayo! Batu Bato sa langit! Ang tamaan Pangit!
Let us be responsible enough!

GOOD FRIDAY
Tonight I am spending my time with my siblings. I love them so much that I could never give up. They are my inspiration, my love and obligation.
For years I have have been spending so many nights alone down the boulevard, at the beaches and even in my room. Alone.
Tears drifted all night long. I'm not worried how would they become but worried how would they treat me if I have done even a single mistake or worse? If i failed. Not by loving them. But failed on my own. I know I have failed much in the past. And I am always grateful because I have learned. I have so many fears. Most of all, fear of losing them. My two precious siblings. It's like they are all that i got!
I love myself. And I love God more than anything or anyone on earth.I have become a drunkard. I knew it wasnt really the solution to ease myself out from being alone. I have spent too much of my time and finances going out of home. I really didn't consider any house a home. I odn't even know what it's like to be home. And it's too painful. I have never been home. I hope I have been raised a good man. And what's really hurtful? It's that I have never been really raised physically and emotionally. Sometimes I locked myself in my room. cried at the back of my door. Sobbed. Shouted in my head why i have been led a life like this. It seemed unfair. Since I was innocent... since i have asked questions... since I have learned.. since I have grown... Since I have craved for love... there I was.... crying on my own... I'm sorry... I love you God...

Later
By: Fra Lippo Lippi
How could you come with me
when you knew all along that you had to go
How could you watch me sleep so close to you
pretending not to know
How could you memorize my name
and forget who i am
How could you think you're still the same
believing i can
It's too late to start pretending
It's too late for a new beginning
Later than the sunset, later than the rain
Later than I never to love you again
How could you ask for more with an innocent smile
trusting me to stay
How could you close the door and leave me here
supposing i'm ok
How could you breakdown my disguise
and uncover my fears
How could you look into my eyes
ignoring my tears
It's too late to start pretending
It's too late for a new beginning
Later than the sunset, later than the rain
Later than I never to love you again
How could you come with me

I Will Buy You a New Life
By: Everclear
Here is the money that I owe you
Yeah so you can pay the bills
I will give you more
When I get paid again
I hate those people who love to tell you
Money is the root of all that kills
They have never been poor
They have never had the joy of
a welfare Christmas
I know we will never look back
You say you wake up crying
Yes and you don't know why
You get up and you go lay down inside
My baby's room
Yeah I guess I'm doing okay
I moved in with the strangest guy
Can you believe he actually
Thinks that I am really alive?
I will buy you a garden
Where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car
Perfect shiny and new
I will buy you that big house
Way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life
(Yes I will)
Yes, I know all about that other guy
The handsome man with athletic thighs
I know about all the times before
with that obsessive little rich boy
They might make you think you're happy
Yeah maybe for a minute or two
They can't make you laugh
No they can't make you feel
The way that I do
I will buy you a garden
Where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car
Perfect shiny and new
I will buy you that big house
Way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life
Yeah I will buy you a new life
I know we can never look back
Will you please let me stay the night
Will you please let me stay the night
No one will ever know
I will buy you a garden

Here's To The Night
By: Eve 6
So denied,
So I lied,
Are you the now or never kind
In a day and a day love
I'm gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing to be had,
Are you cool with just tonight?
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
Put your name on the line
Along with place and time
Wanna stay not to go,
I wanna ditch the logical
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
All my time is frozen motion
Can't I stay an hour or two or more
Don't let me let you go
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to good bye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon

Collide
By: Howie Day
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah
But I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find, you and I collide
I'm quiet, you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
You somehow find, you and I collide
Don't stop here
I've lost my place
I'm close behind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find, you and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah
But I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face

The Greatest View
By: Silverchair
You're the analyst
The fungus in my milk
When you want no one
And you got someone
Through the wind you crawl
And laugh at burning dunes
But no one else will ever see
Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait for no one
And finally I know why you feel like letting go
I'm watching you watch over me
And I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch over me
And I've got
The greatest view from here here
Mistakes don't mean a thing
If you don't regret them
So pack your tactic toes for the winter
Chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin
No one else will ever see
I'm watching you watch over me
And I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch over me
And I've got
The greatest view from here
Now that you know why you feel like you do

Memory
By: Sugarcult
This may never start
We could fall apart
And I'd be your memory
Lost your sense of fear
Feelings insincere
Can I be your memory?
So get back, back, back to where we lasted
Just like I imagined
I could never feel this way
So get back, back, back to the disaster
My heart's beating faster
Holding on to feel the same
This may never start
I'll tear us apart
Can I be your enemy
Losing half a year
Waiting for you here
I'd be your anything
So get back, back, back to where we lasted
Just like I imagine
I could never feel this way
So get back, back, back to the disaster
My heart's beating faster
Holding on to feel the same
This may never start
Tearin' out my heart
I'd be your memory
Lost your sense of fear
Feelings disappear
Can I be your memory?
So get back, back, back to where we lasted
Just like I imagine
I could never feel this way
So get back, back, back to the disaster
My heart's beating faster
Holding on to feel the same
This may never start
We could fall apart
And I'd be your memory
Lost your sense of fear
Feelings insincere
Can I be your memory?
Can I be your memory?
This may never start
We could fall apart
And I'd be your memory
Lost your sense of fear
Feelings insincere
Can I be your memory?
So get back, back, back to where we lasted
Just like I imagined
I could never feel this way
So get back, back, back to the disaster
My heart's beating faster
Holding on to feel the same
This may never start
I'll tear us apart
Can I be your enemy
Losing half a year
Waiting for you here
I'd be your anything
So get back, back, back to where we lasted
Just like I imagine
I could never feel this way
So get back, back, back to the disaster
My heart's beating faster
Holding on to feel the same
This may never start
Tearin' out my heart
I'd be your memory
Lost your sense of fear
Feelings disappear
Can I be your memory?
So get back, back, back to where we lasted
Just like I imagine
I could never feel this way
So get back, back, back to the disaster
My heart's beating faster
Holding on to feel the same
This may never start
We could fall apart
And I'd be your memory
Lost your sense of fear
Feelings insincere
Can I be your memory?
Can I be your memory?
My Own Prison
By: Creed
A court is in session, a verdict is in
No appeal on the docket today
Just my own sin
The walls are cold and pale
The cage made of steel
Screams fill the room
Alone I drop and kneel
Silence now the sound
My breath the only motion around
Demons cluttering around
My face showing no emotion
Shackled by my sentence
Expecting no return
Here there is no penance
My skin begins to burn
And I said oh...
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
And I said oh...
All held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
I hear a thunder in the distance
See a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given
On that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness
Only He holds the key
A light to free me from my burden
And grant me Life eternally
Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time
Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time
And I said oh...
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
And I said oh...
All held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
I cry out to God
Seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I've created my own prison
I cry out to God
Seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I've created my own prison
And I said oh...
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
And I said oh...
All held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
And I said oh...
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
And I said oh...
All held captive (I've created)
Out from the sun (I've created)
A sun that shines on only some (I've created)
We the meek are all in one (I've created my own prison)
Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head

Scars
By: Paparoach
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
My scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed 'caues you came around
Why don't just go home
'Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is
[Chorus:]
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last stand
[Chorus]
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever came around
Why don't you just go home?
'Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I could say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I could say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I tear my open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I tear my heart open, sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
My scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed 'caues you came around
Why don't just go home
'Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself

I tear my heart open just to feel
I tear my heart open, sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
The World I Know
Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all the kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why
Are we listening
To hymns of offering?
Have we eyes to see
That love is gathering?
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one...into one...
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
Oh it's the world I know
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why..don't know why...

Good Man
By: Third Eye Blind
If you ever find a way to forgive me
If you ever find a way to put this all to rest
Because I am hanging on your dress now like a little boy
When all that you wanted, all that you wanted
Was a good man
Right in the middle of another big fight
Boom back another one tonight
Blood never forgets but who protects the memories when we bleed each other from the vein
And if you ever find a way to make this interesting
If I ever find a way to stop disintegrating
Into pieces that I was, that you destroy
When all that you wanted, all that you wanted
Was a good man
Right in the middle of another big fight
Go to bed it's getting light out
Why do you, why do you, why do you
Always find me in the places when I'm coming down
And how do you do it when I'm overwhelmed by a violet sky
And we fly in decayed orbit 66 thousand miles an hour goes by
When we kissed, and only now do I feel your mouth
Like an ache you never knew
And it was right in front of you
How do you do it, roots in the soil untangled
Releasing in sweet summer oil still I recoil like mace
In all the little moments I pushed you away that I can't erase
Cause every moment overflows with power, 66 thousand miles an hour
If you ever find a way to forgive me
If you ever find a way to put this all to rest
Because I am hanging on your dress now like a little boy
When all that you wanted, all that you wanted
Was a good man
All that you wanted, all that you wanted
Was a good man
If you ever find a way to forgive me
If you ever find a way to put this all to rest
Because I am hanging on your dress now like a little boy
When all that you wanted, all that you wanted
Was a good man
Right in the middle of another big fight
Boom back another one tonight
Blood never forgets but who protects the memories when we bleed each other from the vein
And if you ever find a way to make this interesting
If I ever find a way to stop disintegrating
Into pieces that I was, that you destroy
When all that you wanted, all that you wanted
Was a good man
Right in the middle of another big fight
Go to bed it's getting light out
Why do you, why do you, why do you
Always find me in the places when I'm coming down
And how do you do it when I'm overwhelmed by a violet sky
And we fly in decayed orbit 66 thousand miles an hour goes by
When we kissed, and only now do I feel your mouth
Like an ache you never knew
And it was right in front of you

Under The Bridge
By: Red Hot Chili Peppers
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 angel
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.
Well, I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way, yeah, yeah, yeah
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
Well, I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
Well, I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way, yeah, yeah, yeah

Singing In My Sleep
By: Semisonic
Got your tape and it changed my mind
Heard your voice in between the lines
Come around from another time
Where nobody ever goes
All alone on the overpass
Wired and phoned to a heart of glass
Now I'm falling in love too fast
With you or the songs you chose
And all the stars
Play for me
Say the promise you long to keep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I've been living in your casette
It's the modern equivalent
Singing up to a Capulet
On a balcony in your mind
In the City the lion sleeps
Pray to Sony my soul to keep
Were you ever so bright and sweet
Did you ever look so nice
And all the sounds
Dream for me
Drive me down in a soul so deep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
Got your tape and it changed my mind
Heard your voice in between the lines
Come around from another time
Where nobody ever goes
All alone on the overpass
Wired and phoned to a heart of glass
Now I'm falling in love too fast
With you or the songs you chose
And all the stars
Play for me
Say the promise you long to keep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I've been living in your casette
It's the modern equivalent
Singing up to a Capulet
On a balcony in your mind
In the City the lion sleeps
Pray to Sony my soul to keep
Were you ever so bright and sweet
Did you ever look so nice
And all the sounds
Dream for me
Drive me down in a soul so deep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
It's Over Now
By: Neve
She comes up and every time
She'll see what I could be
A cold routine or something
It just won't stop touching me
And I wait here another time
Like a thousand times before
I'm dropping out and faded
But I keep on wanting more
She comes up another time
And she really really doesn't care
That I can't keep time or the rhythm straight
'Cause it's one thing she don't dare
And it's alright I drop the line
Now it's one thing to be free
Well I never really had a thing for that
But it's everything I need
And you don't ever understand
It's right here in our hands
The outline of our lives
It's over now
And she wakes up from a deeper sleep
A nightmare through and through
She won't stop trippin' on the daytime vibe
But that's one thing I won't do
Then it's over, im back again
And she's still on the attack
But I'm convinced I've found a reason
To keep her coming back
And you don't ever understand
It's right here in our hands
The outline of our lives
It's over now
You won't ever be happier
Until you find that special place where you belong
And you won't ever be happier
Until you find that only way
Until you find the only way back home
You don't ever understand
It's right here in our hands
The outline of our lives
It's over now
She comes up and every time
She'll see what I could be
A cold routine or something
It just won't stop touching me
And I wait here another time
Like a thousand times before
I'm dropping out and faded
But I keep on wanting more
She comes up another time
And she really really doesn't care

Bad Day
By: Fuel
Had a bad day again
She said I would not understand
She left a note and said, "I'm sorry I
had a bad day again"
She spilled her coffee, broke her shoelace
Smeared the lipstick on her face
Slammed the door and said, "I'm sorry I
had a bad day again"
And she swears there's nothing wrong
I hear her playing that same old song
She puts me off and puts me on
And had a bad day again
She said I would not understand
Left a note and said, "I'm sorry I
had a bad day again"
No...
And she swears there's nothing wrong
I hear her playing that same old song
She puts me off and puts me on
Oh and had a bad day again
She said I would not understand
She left a note and said, "I'm sorry I
had a bad day...again"
She left a note and said, "I'm sorry I
had a bad day..."
Had a bad day again
She said I would not understand
She left a note and said, "I'm sorry I
had a bad day again"
She spilled her coffee, broke her shoelace

Drift Away
By: Uncle Kracker
Day after day I'm more confused
yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know, that's a game, that I hate to loose
and I'm feelin' the strain, ah ain't it a shame, oh
Give me the beat boy as in free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boy as in free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Won't you take me away
Beginin' to think, that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
and I'm countin' on you, you can carry me through, oh
Give me the beat boy as in free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boy as in free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Wont you take me away
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
When I'm feelin' blue
The guitars come in through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Your Rhythm, and rhyme, and harmony
You helped me along (makin' me strong), ah you're makin' me strong
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Day after day I'm more confused
yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know, that's a game, that I hate to loose
and I'm feelin' the strain, ah ain't it a shame, oh
Give me the beat boy as in free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boy as in free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Won't you take me away
Beginin' to think, that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
and I'm countin' on you, you can carry me through, oh
Give me the beat boy as in free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boy as in free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Wont you take me away
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
When I'm feelin' blue
The guitars come in through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Your Rhythm, and rhyme, and harmony
You helped me along (makin' me strong), ah you're makin' me strong
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Everything You Want
By: Vertical Horizons
Somewhere there's speaking, it's already coming in
Oh and it's rising in the back of your mind
You never could get it unless you were fed it
Now you're here, and you don't know why
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen, listen and wait for
The echoes of angels who won't return
He's everything you want, he's everything you need
He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be
He says all the right things at exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you, and you don't know why
You're waiting for someone to put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say
He's everything you want, he's everything you need
He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be
He says all the right things at exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you, and you don't know why
But you'll just sit tight and watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine with all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for
Out of the island and into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice, but you still hide away
Anger of angels who won't return
He's everything you want, he's everything you need
He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be
He says all the right things at exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you, and you don't know why
I am everything you want, I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be
I say all the right things at exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you, and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why, why
I don't know
Somewhere there's speaking, it's already coming in
Oh and it's rising in the back of your mind
You never could get it unless you were fed it
Now you're here, and you don't know why
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen, listen and wait for
The echoes of angels who won't return
He's everything you want, he's everything you need
He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be

You're waiting for someone to put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away

There's always something more you wish he'd say
He's everything you want, he's everything you need
He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be

But he means nothing to you, and you don't know why
But you'll just sit tight and watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine with all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for

I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be
I say all the right things at exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you, and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why, why

Just My Imagination
By: Cranberries
There was a game we used to play
we would hit the town on Friday night
and stay in bed until Sunday.
We used to be so free
We were living for the love we had
and living not for reality
CHORUS
Just my imagination (my imagination) (x2)
just my imagination, it was
just my imagination (my imagination) (x2)
just my imagination, it was.
That was a time I used to pray
I have always kept my faith in love
it's the greatest thing from the man above.
The game I used to play
I've always put my cards upon the table
never be said that I'd be unstable.
CHORUS
There is a game I like to play
I like to hit the town on Friday night
and stay in bed until Sunday.
We'll always be this free
we will be living for the love we have
living not for reality.
It's not my imagination (my imagination) (x2)
it's not my imagination, it was
not my imagination (my imagination) (x2)
not my imagination, it was...
not my (x2) (my imagination)
not my (x3) (my imagination)
not my (x3).

In This Life
By: Chantal Kreviazuk
Let me show you what I'm made of
Good intentions are not enough
To get me through today
And this life
You're in the basement
Watching the TV
I'm on the second floor
Watching the ceiling
We sleep underneath the same big sky at night
And dream the same dream we can fly
You can run from me
And you can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life
Let me tell you who you really are
You're my comfort
You're not a superstar
Life can reach up and bring you back down
Onto the ground
And give you everything you'd dream about
You can run from me
And you can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life
I'll give you all the things that I'd never get
Give you all I have and have no regrets
Take you to the places that I've never been
Forgive you all the things that you can't forget
Take away the pain with my healing hand
Wash away your sins and set your spirit free
You can run from me
And you can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life
You can run from me
And you can hide from me
I am right beside you
In this life
Let me show you what I'm made of
Let me show you what I'm made of
Good intentions are not enough
To get me through today
And this life
You're in the basement
Watching the TV
I'm on the second floor

And dream the same dream we can fly

And you can hide from me

Take you to the places that I've never been
Forgive you all the things that you can't forget
Take away the pain with my healing hand
Wash away your sins and set your spirit free
You can run from me
And you can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life
You can run from me
And you can hide from me

Say What You Want
By: Texas
Twenty seconds on the back time, I feel you on the run
Never lived too long to make right, I see you're doing fine
And when I get that feeling, I can no longer slide
I can no longer run, I don't know
And when I get that feeling, I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun, I don't know.
Well, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind, I'll feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings, I'll feel the same about you
What I am is what you want of me, now that I'm not there
Took the tables away from you, it's turned and I don't care
And when I get that feeling, I can no longer slide
I can no longer run, I don't know
And when I get that feeling, I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun, I don't know.

Good Morning Baby
By: Dan Wilson & Bic Runga
Between an overload of information
And a striving for a pure dedication I
Find myself looking for the exit si-i-ign
See your pretty face in the sunshine
In the morning after staying up all night I
Want to wake you just to hear you tell me
it's alri-i-ight
And all I want to be is too much sometimes
for me
Good morning baby I hope I'm gonna make it
through another day
Good morning baby I hope I'm gonna make it
through another day
See the stars and all the planets
Fly the great wide world and have it all
Yeah, better get a ticket
better get in li-i-ine
I'm praying now for beautiful weather
Take a car and drive forever but I'm
Only ever sitting at the traffic li-i-ight
And all the world to see is too much
sometimes for me
Good morning baby I hope I'm gonna make it
through another day
Good morning baby I hope we're gonna make it
through another day
(And when you rise)
And when you rise you'll find me here
(Open your eyes)
And see myself reflected there
(And for awhile)
A little room becomes an everywhere
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Between an overload of information
And a striving for a pure dedication I
Find myself looking for the exit si-i-ign
Good morning baby I hope I'm gonna make it
through another day
Between an overload of information
And a striving for a pure dedication I
Find myself looking for the exit si-i-ign
See your pretty face in the sunshine
In the morning after staying up all night I
Want to wake you just to hear you tell me

Hands Down
By: Dashboard Confessional
Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep.
This air is blessed, you share with me.
This night is wild, so calm and dull.
These hearts, they race from self-control.
Your legs are smooth as they graze mine.
We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all.
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me,
So won't you kill me, so I die happy?
My heart is yours, to fill or burst,
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry.
Whichever you prefer.
The words are hushed, let's not get busted.
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered;
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
"Hey, did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close,
They can't hear, so we can get some.
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me,
So won't you kill me, so I die happy?
My heart is yours, to fill or burst,
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry.
Whichever you prefer.
Hands down, this is the best day I can ever remember.
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
The dim of the soft lights, the scent of your hair,
That you twirled in your fingers.
And the time on the clock when we realized it's so late.
And this walk that we shared together.
The streets were wet and the gate was locked,
So I jumped it and I let you in,
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist,
And you kissed me like you meant it,
And I knew that you meant it.
That you meant it, that you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it, that you meant it.
Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep.
This air is blessed, you share with me.

Always Be
By: Jimmy Eat World
Could have been a night like any other
One of us has to drive, one of us gets to think
I'll force a laugh to break the silence
It's going to get harder still before it gets easy
You can't keep safe what wants to break
I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's lost in this
She's like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
I was just a boy like every other
Thought I was something fierce
I thought I was ten times smarter
Love would be something that I'd just know
How are you going to know the feeling
Until you've lost it?
I've been losing plenty since...
I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's lost in this
She's like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
Maybe something else I'm missing
Something good and you're the reason
It's a dream but there's a real world waiting
I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's lost in this
She's like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's lost in this
She's like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

Sunday Morning Call
By: Oasis
Here's another sunday morning call
You hear yer head-a-banging on the door
Slip your shoes on and then out you crawl
Into the day that couldn't give you more
But what for?
And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel
And you take what you want
But you don't get it for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
But I'm not sure if it will ever work out right
But it's ok, it's all right
When you're lonely and you start to hear
The little voices in your head at night
You will only sniff away the tears
So you can dance until the morning light
But at what price?
And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel
And you take what you want
But you can't get all for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
And I'm not sure if it'll ever work out right
If it'll ever, ever, ever works out right
Cos it never, never, never works out right
And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel
And you take what you want
But you won't get help for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
But I'm not sure if it will ever, ever, ever work out right
if it will ever, ever, ever work out right
will it ever, ever, ever work out right
Here's another sunday morning call
You hear yer head-a-banging on the door
Slip your shoes on and then out you crawl
Into the day that couldn't give you more
But what for?
And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel
And you take what you want
But you don't get it for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
But I'm not sure if it will ever work out right
But it's ok, it's all right
When you're lonely and you start to hear
The little voices in your head at night
You will only sniff away the tears
So you can dance until the morning light
But at what price?
And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel
And you take what you want
But you can't get all for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
And I'm not sure if it'll ever work out right
If it'll ever, ever, ever works out right
Cos it never, never, never works out right
And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel
And you take what you want
But you won't get help for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
But I'm not sure if it will ever, ever, ever work out right
if it will ever, ever, ever work out right
will it ever, ever, ever work out right
The Saddest Song
By: Ataris
Only two more days until your birthday,
Yesterday was mine.
You'll be turning five.
I know what it's like,
Growing up without your father in your life.
So I pretend I'm doing all I can,
And hope someday you'll find it in your heart,
To understand why I'm not around,
And forgive me for not being in your life.
I remember waiting for you to come.
Remember waiting for you to call.
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all.
I remember waiting for you to come.
Remember waiting for you to call.
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all.
Maybe someday you'll really get to know me,
Not just from letters read to you.
I pray I get the chance to make it up to you.
We've got a lot of catching up to do.
So I pretend I'm doing all I can,
And hope someday you'll find it in your heart,
To understand why I'm not around,
And forgive me for not being in your life.
I remember waiting for you to come.
Remember waiting for you to call.
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all.
I remember waiting for you to come.
Remember waiting for you to call.
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all.
I remember waiting for you to come.
Remember waiting for you to call.
I remember....
Forgive me, I'm so sorry.
I will make it up to you.
Only two more days until your birthday,

For The Movies
By: Buckcherry
Do you remember all our love
Did you get back from what you gave
I see some symptoms of a past that you forgave
You never were expendable
You always made me feel alive
And now we're in the middle of transition in our lives
A change of pace could really do some good
She's leaving...
An empty case but your bringing back the show
I'm leaving now...
Wake up and see the place
It's all you got and all you take
You don't have to fall to pieces, you have to prove it
Make up your pretty face I
t's a lovely trip, a lovely place
You got one life here to make it for the movies
Do you feel singled out
Do you feel less than all the rest
You know it's interchangeable, the spotlight and the pain
I wanna get on top of this
I wanna build that trust again
And if I give it all I got, I'm sure you'd do the same
A change of pace could really do some good
She's leaving...
An empty case but your bringing back the show
I'm leaving now...
Again I face the fear in this
I see a place for you and I
And we can make the most of it
Cause our passion never dies
And if you don't believe in me
I'll choose a path and change your mind
And you can take me to your room
Or wherever you may hide
A change of pace could really do some good
She's leaving...
An empty case but your bringing back the show
I'm leaving now...
Do you remember all our love
Did you get back from what you gave
I see some symptoms of a past that you forgave
You never were expendable
You always made me feel alive
And now we're in the middle of transition in our lives

Far Behind
By: Candlebox
Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
And now maybe
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And so maybe
Your friends they stand around they watch your crumble
As you falter to the ground
And then someday
Your friends they stand beside as you were flying
Oh you were flying oh so high
But then someday people look at you for what they call their own
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hear you calling home
But then some day we could take our time
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
But you left me far behind
Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
No, no, no
Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer
Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes
But I live with what I've known
And then maybe we might share in something great
But won't you look at where we've grown
Won't you look at where we've gone
But then someday comes tomorrow holds
a sense of what I fear for you in my mind
As you trip the final line
And that cold day when you lost control
It's a shame you left my life so soon you should have told me, yeah
But you left me far behind
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
No, no, no
Oh no
Oh no no no no...
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
I said times have changed your friends
They come and watch you crumble to the ground
They watch you suffer
Yeah, they hold you down
Hold you down
Now maybe brother, maybe love
I didn't mean to treat you bad
But you left me far behind
Left me far behind
Left me far behind
Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
And now maybe
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And so maybe
Your friends they stand around they watch your crumble

Run
By: Snow Patrol
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it any where
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think i might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want's to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if its just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it any where
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice

And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think i might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower

To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if its just for a few days

Light up, light up

Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Inside of Love
by: Nada Surf
Watching terrible t.v.
It kills all thought
Getting spacier than an astronaut
Making out with people I hardly know or like
I can't believe what I do late at night
I wanna know what it's like on the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above
Only when we get to see the aerial view will the patterns show
We'll know what to do
I know the last page so well
I can't read the first so I just don't start
It's getting worse
I wanna know what it's like on the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above
I wanna know what it's like on the inside of love
I can't find my way in
I try again and again
I'm on the outside of love
Always under or above
I can't find my way in
I try again and again
I'm on the outside of love
Always under or above
Must be a different view to be a me with a you
I wanna know what its like on the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above
I wanna know what its like on the inside of love
Of course I'll be alright
I just had a bad night
I had a bad night
Watching terrible t.v.
It kills all thought
Getting spacier than an astronaut
Making out with people I hardly know or like
I can't believe what I do late at night
I wanna know what it's like on the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above
Only when we get to see the aerial view will the patterns show
We'll know what to do
I know the last page so well
I can't read the first so I just don't start

I'm on the outside of love
Always under or above
Must be a different view to be a me with a you
I wanna know what its like on the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates

Only One
By: Yellowcard
Broken
This fragile thing now
And I can't
I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't
I can't give you a reason
I feel so broken up
(So broken up)
And I give up
(I give up)
I just want to tell you so you know
Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only
My only one
Made my mistakes
Let you down
And I can't
I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't
I can't get up when you're gone
And something's breaking up
(Breaking up)
I feel like giving up
(Like giving up)
I won't walk out until you know
Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only
My only one
Here I go so dishonestly
Leave a note, for you my only one
And I know you can see right through me
So let me go and you will find someone
Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one, no one like you
You are my only
My only one
My only one
My only one
My only one
You are my only
My only one
Broken

Somewhere Only We Know
By: Keane
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh, simple thing where have you gone ?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of ?
Oh simple thing, where have you gone ?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know ?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know ?
Somewhere only we know
Oh simple thing, where have you gone ?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know ?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go, so why don't we go ?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know ?
Somewhere only we know, somewhere only we know.

Do you know that bad girls go to hell? (spoken)
I don't wanna talk,
I don't wanna walk,
I don't wanna hear about it
I don't wanna run,
I don't wanna spring
and I really don't wanna go right in
Your make-up
is pretty good,
your hair-cut
I know it could
but don't you see
that it doesn't bother me?
Why don't you enjoy?
Life's splendid,
you don't need any toy
I'm intended for you,
so you don't have to run on skylines
I don't know much
but what I know I've got to cure you anyhow
'cause I love you!
I love you!
Suzy,
don't you know?
Heaven's not above tonight but 100 feet below
Suzy,
don't you see?
That it's your life?
That it's your life?
I don't wanna learn,
I don't wanna turn,
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna taste,
I don't wanna drive
and I really don't wanna waste my life
Your big car
is beautiful!
Your wonderbra
so cool!
But don't you see
that it doesn't bother me?
Why don't you begin?
It's fantastic
you don't need anything
no plastic solution for your pretty face
Believe me
I don't know much
but what I know I've got to cure you anyhow
'cause I love you!
I love you!

Only God Knows Why
By: Kid Rock
I've been sittin' here
Tryin' to find myself
I get behind myself
I need to rewind myself
Lookin' for the payback
Listen for the playback
They say that every man bleeds, just like me
And I feel like number one
Yet, I'm last in line
I watch my youngest son
And it helps to pass the time
I take too many pills, it helps to ease the pain
I made a couple dollar bills, still I feel the same
Everybody knows my name
They say it way out loud
A lot of folks fuck with me
It's hard to hang out in crowds
I guess that's the price you pay
To be some big shot like I am
Outstretched hands and one-night stands
Still I can't find love
And when your walls come tumbling down
I will always be around
And when your walls come tumbling down
I will always be around
People don't know about the things I say and do
They don't understand 'bout the shit that I've been through
It's been so long since I've been home
I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long
Maybe I forgot all things I miss
Oh, somehow I know there's more to life than this
I said it too many times
And I still stand firm
You get what you put in
And people get what they deserve
Still I ain't seen mine
No, I ain't seen mine
I've been giving just ain't been gettin'
I've been walking that there line
So I think I'll keep on walking
With my head held high
I'll keep moving on and only God knows why
Only God, only God
Only God knows why
Only God knows why, why, why
Only God knows why
Take me to the river
Hey, won't you take me to the river, hey, hey, hey
I've been sittin' here
Tryin' to find myself
I get behind myself
I need to rewind myself
Lookin' for the payback
Listen for the playback
They say that every man bleeds, just like me

Hey, won't you take me to the river, hey, hey, hey
Island In The Sun
By: Weezer
When you're on a holiday
You can't find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too
On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain
When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone
On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain
We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore
On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain
We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore
We'll never feel bad anymore
No no
We'll never feel bad anymore
No no

Out Of My Head
By: Fastball
Sometimes I feel
like I am drunk behind the wheel
the wheel of possibility
however it may roll
give it a spin
see if it can somehow factor in
you know there's always more than one way
to say exactly what you mean to say
Was I out of my head? Was I out of my mind?
How could I have ever been so blind?
I was waiting for an indication
it was hard to find
Don't matter what I say only what I do
I never mean to do bad things to you
so quiet but i finally woke up
if you're sad then it's time you spoke up too
Was I out of my head? Was I out of my mind?
How could I have ever been so blind?
I was waiting for an invitation
it was hard to find
Don't matter what I say only what I do
I never mean to do bad things to you
so quiet but i finally woke up
if you're sad then it's time you spoke up too
Sometimes I feel
like I am drunk behind the wheel

Starlight
By: Muse
Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive
i'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Father Of Mine
By: Everclear
Father of mine
tell me where have you been
you know i just close my eyes
and my whole world disappears
Father of mine
take me back to the day
Yeah, when i was still your golden boy
back before you went away
I remember blue skys
walking the block
I loved it when you held me high
I loved to hear you talk
You would take me to the movies
You would take me to the beach
take me to a place inside
that was so hard to reach
Father of mine
tell me where did you go
you had the world inside your hand
but you did not seem to know
Father of mine
tell me what do you see
When you look back at your wasted life
and you don't see me
I was ten years old
doing all that I could
It wasn't easy for me
to be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood
Sometimes you would send me a birthday card
with a five dollar bill
Yeah, i never understood you then
and i guess i never will
Daddy gave me a name
my daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
my daddy gave me a name
Father of mine
tell me where have you been
I just close my eyes
and the world disappeared
Father of mine
tell me how do you sleep
With the children you abandoned
and the wife i saw you beat
I will never be safe
i will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
i will always be lame
Now im a grown man
with a child of my own
And i swear that im not gonna let her know
all the pain i have known

Alcoholic

Don't you know you've got your daddy's eyes?
Your daddy was an alcoholic
But your mother kept it all inside
And she threw it all away
I was looking for another you
and I found another one

When I looked round, you were gone
Stand by my side
And the pipe dream is yours now
Stand by my side
And the singer won't get in our way

Desperately Wanting
by: Better Than Ezra
Past the road to your house
That you never called home
Where they turned out your lights
Though they say you'll never know
I remember running through the wet grass
And falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
When they pumped out your guts
And filled you full of those pills
You were never quite right
Deserving all the chills
They say the worst is over
Kicked it over and ran
Then they ask what went wrong
When they turn you on again
They turn you on again.
I remember running through the wet grass
And falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
Kick them right in the face
Make them wish they weren't born
And if they bring up your name
Well they'll say you won the war.
Baby burst in the world
Never given a chance
Then they ask what went wrong
When you never had it right
I remember running through the wet grass
And falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
Oh the letters have dropped off
Though they say you got them all
I finally figured out some things you'll never know.
Take back your life and let me inside
We'll find the door if you care
If you care to anymore.
Past the road to your house

Last Kiss
by: Pearl Jam
Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
We were out on a date in my daddy's car,
we hadn't driven very far.
There in the road, straight ahead,
a car was stalled, the engine was dead.
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right.
I'll never forget, the sound that night--
the screamin tires, the bustin glass,
the painful scream that I-- heard last.
Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
by: Pearl Jam
When I woke up, the rain was pourin down.
There were people standin all around.
Somethin warm runnin through my eyes,
but somehow I found my baby that night.
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said,
Hold me darlin just a little while.
I held her close, I kissed her--our last kiss.
I found the love that i knew i would miss
well now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life - that night.
Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

A Life Less Ordinary
by: Ash
I smoke myself into a haze in the afternoon
Enveloped heart
And the air is cool
Put on your dress
White Goddess
And settle in as the weather folds
In the slow haze of the afternoon
Swaying hips
Made like a gun
Blackest sails
The most beautiful
Star in the world
In the air
On my tongue
Before my eyes
Beyond the stars
Beneath the sun
So take me in your arms again
Lead me in my dreams again
So what is it worth
I'll sell my soul
What is it worth
Only you know
You were conceived in my heart
Came like a dream
To save me from my mortality
Put on your dress
White Goddess
And settle in as the weather folds
Our lives will be entwined
Even when I die
You'll see me through 'till the end of time
No earthly bride
The most beautiful
Star in the world
In the air
On my tongue
Before my eyes
Beyond the stars
Beneath the sun
Take me in your arms again
Lead me in mydreams again
So what is it worth
I'll sell my soul
So what is it worth
Only you know
I smoke myself into a haze in the afternoon
Enveloped heart
And the air is cool
Put on your dress
White Goddess
And settle in as the weather folds
In the slow haze of the afternoon
Swaying hips
Made like a gun
Blackest sails
The most beautiful
Star in the world
In the air
On my tongue
Before my eyes
Beyond the stars
Beneath the sun
So take me in your arms again
Lead me in my dreams again
So what is it worth
I'll sell my soul
What is it worth
Only you know
You were conceived in my heart
Came like a dream
To save me from my mortality
Put on your dress
White Goddess
And settle in as the weather folds
Our lives will be entwined
Even when I die
You'll see me through 'till the end of time
No earthly bride
The most beautiful
Star in the world
In the air
On my tongue
Before my eyes
Beyond the stars
Beneath the sun
Take me in your arms again
Lead me in mydreams again
So what is it worth
I'll sell my soul
So what is it worth
Only you know
Not Forever
by: Popsicle
Still can't believe some of
The things I never told
I hardly touch the phone
I don't know who to call
You're my relief and you're
The one who makes me cry
I'm trying to figure out
Some way
To get on by
Cause I can change I'm not the same
Not forever
What can I say I'm not OK
I wish I was
I want you back I want a time
I can remember
It's as simple as I say
I can change I'm not the same
Not forever
So I got out at nights
Take walks down easy street
So talkative
No matter who I see
I wake up shaking
Not alone but on my own
I need some other guide
To help
Me get back home
Cause I can....
You want this part of me
The songlines in your mind
That's who I'm trying to be
And that's what you will find
If you just let me in take me back
Closer than we ever were
I promise it's for real
Cause I can...
I have changed I'm not the same
Not forever
What can I say I'd be OK
And so would you
If you came back if you were here
You would remember
It's as simple as I say
I can change I'm not the same
It's as simple as I say
I can change I'm not the same
Still can't believe some of
The things I never told
I hardly touch the phone
I don't know who to call
You're my relief and you're

Third Opinion
By: Popsicle
Did he write a single letter
Did he even save the ones you wrote with love
Could he ever bring you comfort
Could he ever bring something up
You should really make him pay for
Everything he has lost
Cause it's all he ever wanted
And it's all he'll ever miss
You're his broken silvertrumpet
You're his everlasting kiss
All those times you didn't trust him
When he just fell asleep and left you with your tears
Still you never could stop hoping
That he'd one day let you in
Help him cause he's faking
Just about everything
Cause you're all he ever wanted
And you're all he ever miss
You're his broken silvertrumpet
You're his everlasting kiss
Did he write a single letter
Did he even save the ones you wrote with love
Could he ever bring you comfort
Could he ever bring something up
You should really make him pay for
Everything he has lost
Cause it's all he ever wanted

You're his broken silvertrumpet
You're his everlasting kiss

Help him cause he's faking

And you're all he ever miss

Please Don't Ask
by: Popsicle
Some how I thought I'd be that strong
Finally accepting that you're really gone
Thought we could spend some time together
That things were getting better now
Let me tell you honey I was wrong
Now I'm so empty and the days so long
Though I'm trying not to show it
There's no way don't know it by now
So please don't ask any questions
Just let it be
Cause I've told you what I meen
And please don't leave any message
Just say goodbye
I will try to hide
The way I feel this time
As if it wasn't enough with the streets we shared
Now even the weather seems to take me there
I hear you giggling with the raindropps
Humming with with the treetops sighing
So excuse me while I sing this song
But I'm so empty and the days so long
Will I never stop complaining
Find myself again and
Step out on the other side
I look into the mirror
See an empty space that used to be your face
I know it's trivial
So why do I keep dwelling on it
Some how I thought I'd be that strong
Finally accepting that you're really gone
Thought we could spend some time together
That things were getting better now
Let me tell you honey I was wrong
Now I'm so empty and the days so long
Though I'm trying not to show it
There's no way don't know it by now
So please don't ask any questions
Just let it be
Cause I've told you what I meen

Find myself again and
Step out on the other side

See an empty space that used to be your face
I know it's trivial
So why do I keep dwelling on it

Music and Life
From different parts of the world we hear music. A simple chirp of a bird could be a music for some.
We all know the music is the language of the soul. Every lyric portrays some of our qualities, attitude and being. We bang our heads with rock music or punk rock, progressive, grunge, anything rock! We sing ballads, dance and sing to the tune of pop and RnB. We sing to let people or our close friends hear what we feel and what we are.
Our taste of music differs from everyone. Music affects our lives in different ways. It may benefit our health and well-being.
Why do I listen to my favorite songs?
It depends on my mood. Sometimes i just listen to sing with the songs I love. At times of being alone, my music would be my company. People may leave but I will always have music with me. I learn how to sing and fathom the lyrics in my heart. The rhymes and verses are meaningful that they even boost my confidence and my well being. Music heals my soul. It reduces my depression and increase my optimism. Often times, i think that the world I know is sordid, unkind and noxious. But when I hear my music i realize that there are always good reasons to go on and believe in. The way we live and the way we deal with things depends on us. The result would always be based on how we started.
Music gives life. They energize our body and thoughts. The simple lyrics could make us sing. A simple beat could make us dance. The meaningful lyrics could give us ideas and advices. It's like when you have no one to talk to you would find a friend with music. Singing between the lines. Sometimes when i feel so exhausted from work i just lay down my bed and listen to my files... Music reduce stress and anxiety levels...
Music is my life... my love... my friend...

Counting Blue Cars
by: Dishwalla
Must of been mid afternoon
I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out and
He walked with a purpose in his sneakers, down the street
He had, many questions like children often do
He said, "Tell me all your thoughts on God?"
"Tell me am I very far?"
Must of been late afternoon
On our way the sun broke free of the clouds
We count only blue cars, skip the cracks, in the street
And ask many questions like children often do
We said, "Tell me all your thoughts on God?
"'Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God,
Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very far...
Am I very far now?"
Its getting cold picked up the pace
How our shoes make hard noises in this place
Our clothes are stained
We pass many, cross eyed people
And ask many questions like children often do
"Tell me all your thoughts on God?
'Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
'Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very far?"
Am I very far now
Am I very far now
Am I very far now...

On our way the sun broke free of the clouds
We count only blue cars, skip the cracks, in the street
And ask many questions like children often do
We said, "Tell me all your thoughts on God?
"'Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God,
Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very far...
Am I very far now?"
Its getting cold picked up the pace
How our shoes make hard noises in this place
Our clothes are stained
We pass many, cross eyed people
And ask many questions like children often do
"Tell me all your thoughts on God?
'Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
'Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very far?"
Am I very far now
Am I very far now
Am I very far now...
Lost In You
By: ASH
Lying wide awake under strange skies
Wanting to call you, but it is late at night
You're far away, but you are always on my mind
I feel like I'm on fire, nothing I can do
I'm troubled with doubt, though I know it is not true
And it's times like these when I am dying to speak to you
Dying to get through... I'm dying to speak to you...
Dying to get through... I'm dying to speak to you...
Staring at the wall, I sink inside
I think about it all, I get caught up in my life
I can't think straight, because it's tearing up my mind
I feel like I'm on fire, nothing I can do
I'm troubled with doubt, though I know it is not true
And it's times like these when I am dying to speak to you
Dying to get through... I'm dying to speak to you...
Dying to get through... I'm dying to speak to you...
The more that I think how I need you
The more that I think, the more it seems true
And now it means more that I ever meant it to
Ever meant it to
Lying wide awake under strange skies
Wanting to call you, but it is late at night
And you're far away, but you are always on my mind
You are always on my mind...
You are always on my mind...
You are always on my mind...
You are always on my mind...
You are always on my mind...
You are always on my mind...
Lying wide awake under strange skies
Wanting to call you, but it is late at night
You're far away, but you are always on my mind
I feel like I'm on fire, nothing I can do
I'm troubled with doubt, though I know it is not true
And it's times like these when I am dying to speak to you
Dying to get through... I'm dying to speak to you...
Dying to get through... I'm dying to speak to you...
Staring at the wall, I sink inside
I think about it all, I get caught up in my life
I can't think straight, because it's tearing up my mind
I feel like I'm on fire, nothing I can do
I'm troubled with doubt, though I know it is not true
And it's times like these when I am dying to speak to you
Dying to get through... I'm dying to speak to you...
Dying to get through... I'm dying to speak to you...
The more that I think how I need you
The more that I think, the more it seems true
And now it means more that I ever meant it to
Ever meant it to
Lying wide awake under strange skies
Wanting to call you, but it is late at night
And you're far away, but you are always on my mind
You are always on my mind...
You are always on my mind...
You are always on my mind...
You are always on my mind...
You are always on my mind...
You are always on my mind...
Somewhere Out There
By: Our Lady Peace
Last time I talked to you
You were lonely and out of place
You were looking down on me
Lost out in space
We laid underneath the stars
Strung out and feeling brave
I watched the red orange glow
I watched you float away
Down here in the atmosphere
Garbage and city lights
You've gone to save your tired soul
You've gone to save our lives
I turned on the radio
To find you on satellite
I'm waiting for the sky to fall
I'm waiting for a sign
And all we are
Is all so far
You're falling back to me
The star that I can see yeah
I know your out there, somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity yeah
I know you're out there, somewhere out there
Hope you remember me
When you're home sick and need a change
I miss your purple hair
I miss the way you taste
I know you'll come back some day
On a bed of nails I wait
I'm praying that you don't burn out or fade away
And all we are
Is all so far
You're falling back to me
The star that I can see yeah
I know your out there, somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity yeah
I know you're out there, somewhere out there
You're falling back to me
The star that I can see
I know your out there
Your falling out of reach
Defying gravity

Stay You
by: Wood
I love the way you speak
And I love the way you swear
I love the way you walk around with your head held in the air
I love the way your words move
And I love the way you drive
I love the way you're scared of people scared to be alive
Stay... stay you that's the toughest thing to do
Stay... stay you that's the toughest thing to do
I love the way you dress upon a Saturday night
I love the way you never speak until it feels just right
I love the way you're spending all your money on yourself
I love the way you answer the phone and pretend you're somebody else
Stay... stay you that's the toughest thing to do
Stay... stay you that's the toughest thing to do
And now I don't want to talk about the things you overcame
By dragging up the past I'll put you through it all again
I've got the greatest admiration for the way that you got through it
Couldn't ask nobody else to do it better than you do it
Stay... stay you that's the toughest thing to do
Stay... stay you...
I love the way you speak
And I love the way you swear
I love the way you walk around with your head held in the air
I love the way your words move

Stitches & Burns
By: Fra Lippo Lippi
People say that I'm a fool
Well I don't know
At least I found out
What it takes to be strong
I was dreaming all day long
A drifting cloud
With eyes wide open
I would choose not to see
Now I don't want
To see you anymore
Don't want to be the one
To play your game
Not even if you smile
Your sweetest smile
Not even if you beg me
Darling please
Say good morning to the world
I hope you like it
Take good care of all those
Things that we have
I've been looking for a way
For to long now
Seems like everything
Must come to an end
Now I don't want
To see you anymore
Don't want to be the one
To play your game
Not even if you smile
Your sweetest smile
Not even if you beg me
Darling please
Now I don't want
To see you anymore
Don't want to be the one
To play your game
Not even if you smile
Your sweetest smile
Not even if you beg me
Darling please
Time after time
Nothing that I can do
Knowing your ways
And loving your ways
But not getting through at all
Day after day
Leaving the past behind
Coming to terms
With stitches and burns and
Learning to fly again
Now I don't want
To see you anymore
Don't want to be the one
To play your game
Not even if you smile
Your sweetest smile
Not even if you beg me
Darling please
Now I don't want
To see you anymore
Don't want to be the one
To play your game
Not even if you smile
Your sweetest smile
Not even if you beg me

The Day That I Die
by: Good Charlotte
One day I woke up
I woke up knowing
today is the day i will die
Cashdogg was barkin
went to the park and enjoyed it one last time
I called my mother
told her I loved her
and I begged her not to cry
I wrote a letter
that said I'd miss her
and i signed that goodbye
You know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
is the day that I die
Can you feel the cold tonight? (the day that I die)
it sets in but it's alright (the day that I die)
darkness falls I'm letting go (the day that I die)
all alone but I feel fine
We took a drive and
we drove through D.C.
to see the places we lived,
long conversations
we talked of old friends
and all the things that we did
The summer nights, drunken fights
mistakes we made....did we live it right?
You know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
is the day that I die
Can you feel the cold tonight? (the day that I die)

all alone but I feel just fine

Rest of My Life
by: Unwritten Law
Am I the only one that feels alone
Though, all is home
Emotions flow
Am I the only one that hears the tears run down my face
Would anybody recognize at all
Cause I know
I'm so slow
But I'm tryin
And I'm still dyin to know
Say you won't leave for the rest of my
Life's the only thing that deals the pain
Like pouring rain down
Breeding hate
And I don't wanna do no wrong
My God, it's been so long
Please comfort me
Before I go insane
Cause I know
I'm so slow
But I'm tryin
And I'm still dyin to know
Say you won't leave for the rest of my life
I know
I'm so slow
But I'm trying
And I'm still dying to know
Say you won't leave for the rest of my life
the rest of my life, na na na na na na na na na na
I'm so stoned
But i'm tryin
And i'm still dyin to know
Say you won't leave for the rest of my
I can't have you leave for the rest of my
Say you won't leave for the rest of my life
Am I the only one that feels alone
Though, all is home
Emotions flow
Am I the only one that hears the tears run down my face
Would anybody recognize at all
Cause I know
I'm so slow
But I'm tryin
And I'm still dyin to know
Say you won't leave for the rest of my
Life's the only thing that deals the pain
Like pouring rain down
Breeding hate
And I don't wanna do no wrong
My God, it's been so long
Please comfort me
Before I go insane
Cause I know
I'm so slow
But I'm tryin
And I'm still dyin to know
Say you won't leave for the rest of my life
I know
I'm so slow
But I'm trying
And I'm still dying to know
Say you won't leave for the rest of my life
the rest of my life, na na na na na na na na na na
I'm so stoned
But i'm tryin
And i'm still dyin to know
Say you won't leave for the rest of my
I can't have you leave for the rest of my
Say you won't leave for the rest of my life
Down The Avenue
Days gone by so fast. Another year has ended. And life must go on...
I was walking down the avenue realizing I was walking alone. I thought of going home but i'd be alone their either. So i walked the streets, unafraid, puffing my cigarette. I've met some familiar faces along the way and smiled. It felt good, somehow they were real. A lot of things crossed my mind as I continue strolling along the corners of the city especially when I passed by the restaurants and food chains i used to dine in. Sometimes with my friends. Sometimes family. Sometimes a lover. I wasn't thinking of the food but the time of bonding I have relished. The food they serve will always be served there. But people just come and go. I can always go back there. But i could never get back some people I have dined with there. "Life's like a box of chocolates. you will never know what you're gonna get. I just remembered Forrest Gump. And also the novel of Charles Martin, WRAPPED IN RAIN. “Tucker, I want to tell you a secret,” Miss Ella curled my hand into a fist and showed it to me. “Life is a battle, but you can’t fight it with your fists. You got to fight it with your heart.”
I went to a bar. And drank alone. Anyway, i didn't get bored. I had the waiters and security guards entertain me. It was like home. A comfort zone. I ordered a bottle of Red Horse beer. It felt really nice as i took one gulp. The coldness touched my throat. What a relief! I was really thirsty. I looked outside. Not minding the blasts of the speakers. My mind traveled miles and miles away. I remembered my friends and the people I met there. The nights I have spent a few thousands for a night. I felt I became wasted. I always told myself it's the enjoyment of being there with the company of some friends and acquaintances. But the reason was I really am sad. It just occurred to me. I'm spending a lot not because I want to enjoy but to ease the pain. It's really hard being alone. I have some people at home. I still feel alone though all is home.
I wanted to bang my head on the table but I just smiled. I am in control of my life. And I realized my fuel was almost empty. Unnoticed because I was busy looking for anyone to ride on. I wasn't in a wrong direction. I was just slowly moving on. I need an overhaul. I need to refuel. So I could still ride down the avenue...
