Midnight In A Perfect World (Gift Of Gab Mix)

Peep through the door
It seems as though the grass was much greener before
The dead life has been washed upon the sea shore
Money and greed deluded what is truly pure
And yet our flesh keeps screeching out for more

Now you're trapped
A hole in the ozone about to make the world collapse
Pollution fills the air and minds with bullet twisted facts
Midnight is now upon us people righteous laws are coming back

Don't turn your head away cause you can't get away
Your mind is lost because your spirit has been led astray
Don't ever say you gave it all if you ain't gave it all
Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight
No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching midnight

Panic's in the air
Some jumping out of buildings others on their knees in prayer
Some cry out to the sky and yell they aren't quite prepared
You looked god in the face and said forgive me all he did was stare.

Now you can run,
But where you gonna hide from all the power of the sun?
The cosmic reprecussions of what human kind has done
No understanding of the fullness everything is simply one

Soon to be none again so that new life can come again
Illusions rule the mind your soul is never gonna end
So don't pretend you gave it all if you ain't gave it all
Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight
No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching midnight

So I bid farewell.
No more good times or bad times, no more heaven no more hell.
Now brace yourself for impact it's a half hour to twelve
Complete in total darkness empty space is where you're left to dwell.

And all you had to do was live today for your tomorrow
But now it's over and you're drowning deep inside your sorrow
You could've led but instead you confirmed and chose to follow
So once again I bid farewell

There's only seconds left you'd like to second guess
But through your foolish ways you've literally beckoned death
So just don't say you gave it all if you ain't gave it all
Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight
No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching midnight

"Watch Me As I Fall"

I am a puppet on a string
I am the worst thing worst thing you've ever seen
I am impossible to believe
I'm pulled by gravity shocked by my depravity
I'm irrational I'm illogical hypocritical a bleeding heart liberal
I'm an alien dressed like Gideon I'm a malcontent
a thorough modern idiot watch me as I fall
I am humble I am vain
what motivates me something I can't explain
I am outrageous and insane
I'm fueled by gasoline, alcohol and nicotine
I'm an honest hypocrite imploding modern idiot
I am a slave to my abuse convicted caught with no excuse
I'm pathetic apathetic disillusioned disconnected
I am lost I am free I'm impossible to believe
a walking chemical statistically impossible
a thorough modern idiot watch me as I fall

Nightwish - Nemo

This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart as compass

This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything

My flower
Withered between
The pages two and three
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins

Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name for evermore

Nemo sailing home
Nemo letting go

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name for evermore

Nemo my name for evermore

Four more years - Dope on the album American Apathy
Spoken by Bush
"The American flag stands for corporate scandals
Recession, stock market declines, blackmail
Burning with hot irons, mutilation with electric drills
Cutting out tongues, terror, mass murder, and ****."

Tears for Fears - Mad World

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very

Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world

The Bones of Babydolls - Acid Bath

Flower girls play lover,
grave games in the courtyard
I heard her
screaming like a radio

Flower girls play lover,
grave games in the courtyard
I heard her
screaming like a radio

Mary-Lou left marks on you, she just screams at the walls
The kite string pops, I'm swallowed whole by the sky
We smoke the bones of baby dolls

Techno-liquid screaming meat, heaven's cold beneath my feet
Cyber love the anti-man we make love because we can

Virgins play where the bayou's blue, barefoot eatin' mushroom stew
Work for pay and pay for freedom, fuck 'em all, we don't need 'em
We smoke the bones of baby dolls

Everything's gone dry
Like bottle glass scraping cross the pavement

Everything's gone dry
Like bottle glass scraping cross the pavement

Everything's gone dry
Like bottle glass scraping cross the pavement

Everything's gone dry
Like bottle glass scraping cross the pavement

(from the "When The Kite String Pops" cd.)
i could actually post all the lyrics Dax Riggs ever wrote, i love all his songs.

[tiffany_the_writer]

I love the whole song, this is just part of it.

The End - the Doors

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

[sk8erpunk69_666]

Linkin Park - System I don't like Linkin Park too much, but I do like this song.

You fell away,
What more can I say?
The feelings evolved,
I won't let it out,
I can't replace...
Your screaming face,
Feeling the sickness inside

Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine…
We'll be fine…
Then your body will be mine

So many words
Can't describe my face
This feeling's evolved
So soon to break out
I can't relate
to a happy state
feeling the blood run inside

Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine…
We'll be fine…
Then your body will be mine

Why is everything so fucking hard for me?
Keep me down to what you think I should be!
Must you tempt me and provoke the ministry?

Keep on trying I’ll not die so easily

I will not die…

Why is everything so fucking hard for me?

I will not die…

Why is everything so fucking hard for me?

I will not die…

Why won't you die?
Your blood is mine….
We'll be fine….
Then your body will be mine [x2]

The Shame - The Blood Brothers

My heart is a black haunted loom,
weaving jackets for children who'll never be born.
My hands are abandoned factories
manufacturing heartbreak and hate for the world.
As we waltz the broken dance of our limbs
this ballroom has been groped by so many evil whims.
As I drill the last hole into you,
the well of your body has hardened into glue.
Everything is going to be just awful when we're around.
All the colors gonna rot off your sight when we're around.
I remember the day that I sold my smile to that nice couple
who lost their first child.
I threw in a set of sympathy,
and a bucket of popcorn for the cemetary.
But now my face is all fenced off, the sky is boarded up,
the hills covered in drop cloth.
How many chords till this song vomits out real love?
How many feathers to pluck naked the soiled dove?
How many whores till you send away for that trophy?
And how many punches till you give yourself away for free?
Because those bruises on your face look like the sun setting in disgrace.
(From these cliffs you can see the whole city
laid out groveling like a field of wounded soldiers.
The billboards in heat and hissing,
the sky scrapers stitching the gash of the earth.
As they waltz the broken dance of their limbs
their ballroom has been groped by so many evil whims.)
Everything is going to be just awful when we're around.
All the colors gonna rot off your sight when we're around.
I am just a salesman pleased to meet you can I show you around.
Every thing must go the shadows the seagulls when we're around.
This is our shame.

Lord Baver- Did you really say "Tears for Fears"?

Tekajo- Replies with a proper cure for that post with some Acid Bath (Dax is a genius by the way)

Sk8erpunk 69 666- Don't EVER mention skate,punk, or goth for that matter. Your quoting Lincoln Park, please tell me your 13!

[1TOOMANY]

And here's a quote from my man H.R.;

Guess the song? (or the band for that matter)

I make decision with precision
Lost inside this manned collision
Just to see that what is to be
Perfectly my fantasy

I came to know with now dismay
That in this world we all must pay
Pay to write, pay to play
Pay to cum, pay to fight

And all in time,
With just our minds
We soon will find
What's left behind

Not long ago when things were slow
We all got by with what we know
The end is near. Hearts filled with fear
Don't want to listen to what they hear

And so it's now we choose to fight
To stick up for our bloody right
The right to sing, the right to dance
The right is ours... We'll take the chance

A peace together
A piece apart
A piece of wisdom
From our hearts

[AlKilyu]

These aren't my favorite lyrics, but at the moment I really dig this song.

Normally this isn't me so au revoir boules!


The sun is up
The sun is up
I’m so happy I could scream
I’m so happy I could scream
And there’s nowhere else in the world I’d rather be
And there’s nowhere else in the world I’d rather be
Than here with you
Than here with you
It’s perfect
It’s perfect
It’s all I ever wanted
It’s all I ever wanted
Almost can’t believe that it’s for real
Almost can’t believe that it’s for real

I really don’t think it gets any better than this
I really don’t think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile
Vanilla smile
And a gorgeous strawberry kiss!
And a gorgeous strawberry kiss!
Birds sing we swing
Birds sing we swing
Clouds shift by and everything is like a dream
Clouds shift by and everything is like a dream
It’s everything I wished...
It’s everything I wished...

Never guessed it got this good
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn’t think it could
Really didn’t think it could
Do it again?
Do it again?
I know we should!!!
I know we should!!!

The sun is up
The sun is up
I’m so fizzy I could burst!
I’m so fizzy I could burst!
You wet through and me headfirst
You wet through and me headfirst
Into this it’s perfect
Into this it’s perfect
It’s all I ever wanted
It’s all I ever wanted
Ow! it feels so big it almost hurts!
Ow! it feels so big it almost hurts!

Never guessed it got this good
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn’t think it could
Really didn’t think it could
Do it some more?
Do it some more?
I know we should!!!
I know we should!!!
It will always be like this
It will always be like this
Forever and ever
Forever and ever

Never guessed it got this good
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn’t think it could
Really didn’t think it could
Do it all the time? I know that we should!!!
Do it all the time?
I know that we should!!!

Machinae Supremacy - Nemesis

A tour de force, a rabid face
behind the weapon kept in place
by tortured hands in cold embrace
A battle unconfused by chance,
come step into our mortal dance
and taste this ironclad romance

For every kill the stronger will
keeps getting stronger and the thrill
of such control is wild but still
A single life, what's that to me?
A fading light no one can see
yet such a pleasure death can be

Used to be a single voice
that vanished in a crowd
Vague just like a distant sun
when hidden by the clouds
Found a way to surface
and to speak my truth aloud
Be powerful, stand fast and proud

A tour de force, a rabid face
behind the weapon kept in place
by tortured hands in cold embrace
A single life, what's that to me?
A fading light no one can see
yet such a pleasure death can be

Voodoo-Godsmack



I’m not the one who’s so far away
When I feel the snake bit enter my veins.
Never did I wanna be here again,
And I don’t remember why I came.

Candles raise my desire,
Why I’m so far away.
No more meaning to my life,
No more reason to stay.

Freezing, feeling,
Breathe in, breathe in...
I’m coming back again...

Hazing clouds rain on my head,
Empty thoughts fill my ears.
Find my shade by the moonlight,
Why my thoughts aren’t so clear.

Demons dreaming,
Breathe in, breathe in...
I’m coming back again...

Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo, voodoo.


[so far away...
I’m not the one who’s so far away...
I’m not the one who’s so far away...
I’m not the one who’s so far away...]

[darkmaster]

Suddenly, the night falls over me
And slowly I'm floating in the air
Among the ages which quickly
Come and disappear.
I meet the immortal core,
The primordial point of the universe
Which in Rig Veda lays written.

Over the life and the death,
Over good and wrong,
Over the seven seas
There is shadow land.

In my way through the frozen land of death
I can see all my dead friends.
They are visions and they quickly come and disappear.
I can hear them calling me,
I can feel their agony.
Am I dead? Yes. I've seen me.
I've seen reflections of my former life,
I cannot fill up my empty space.
Am I shadow? I'm the wind.

Through the night I can see my own eyes watching me,
I can feel my own agony.
Am I god? Yes. Then I'm dead.

"Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

Last night I felt
Real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

So, tell me how long
Before the last one ?
And tell me how long
Before the right one ?

The story is old - I know
But it goes on
The story is old - I know
But it goes on"

And at least mine's easy and quick to read. And oh, so to the point...

Ok Mael, how about these lyrics...my second most favouritest:

To Bid You Farewell - Opeth

I am awaiting the sunrise
Gazing modestly through the coldest morning
Once it came you lied
Embracing us over autumn's proud treetops
I stand motionless
In a parade of falling rain
Your voice I cannot hear
As I am falling again

Devotion eludes
And in sadness I lumber
In my own ashes I am standing without a soul
She wept and whispered: "I know..."
We walked into the night
Am I to bid you farewell?
Why can't you see that I try
When every tear I shed
Is for you?

Quick enough read for you?!
Actually, i should have posted this song first. It's so purdy.

[asmodeus]

sonata arctica-tallulah

Remember when we used to look how sun set far away'
And how you said: "this is never over"
I believed your every word and I quess you did too
But now you're saying : "hey, let's think this over"

You take My hand and pull me next to you, so close to you
I have a feeling you don't have the words
I found one for you, kiss your cheak, say bye, and walk away
Don't look back cause I am crying

I remember little things, you hardly ever do
Tell me why.
I don't know why it's over
I remember shooting stars, the walk we took that night
I hope your wish came true, mine betrayed me

You let my hand go, and you fake a smile for me
I have a feeling you don't know what to do
I look deep in your eyes, hesitate a while...
Why are you crying'

Tallulah, It's easier to live alone than fear the time it's over
Tallulah, find the words and talk to me ,oh, Tallulah,
This could be... heaven

I see you walking hand in hand with long-haired drummer of the band
In love with her or so it seems, he's dancing with my beauty queen
Don't even dare to say you hi, still swallowing the goodbye
But I know the feelings still alive- still alive

[Solo]

I lost my patience once, so do you punish me now
I'll always love you, no matter what you do
I'll win you back for me if you give me a chance
But there is one thing you must understand

[Chorus]

[1TOOMANY]

"Bloodied Up"

You don't say much of anything
When questioned of your whereabouts
And I just can't see through the evidence
It's evident
It's right in front of me in black and white and red
And I don't believe in much of anything
I'm glad I have people I call friends
If it was up to me I'd never have to miss you
It's for the better in the bitter end
I guess you'd know the best
You have every right to be
This appalled with me
Join the club
I signed up a long time ago and I know how you feel
And when you decked me
You left me knocked out on the floor
I came to bloodied up, but you weren't around
I picked my teeth off the ground like they'd been there before

Airships ~ VNV Nation

I pressed my face against the glass,
smiled as my breath made some pattern or other
The world beneath unfurled before me like a sail,
glinted in gold from this rich dawn sky
Awaiting the ship they had told me would come,
quietly anticipating that which was to come

I couldn't yet see you. Still obscured by the city
A towers of glass reflected your coming
Silhouetted on the sunrise
Did I blink as I watched? Did I close my eyes?

I was not alone, I think it was the first time
Watching you rise splendid and graceful,
I cheered as you sailed, a greatness unknown
I laughed as I waved and imagined you saw me
In the streets of the city, the windows of buildings,
a million faces gazing upwards in wonder
A million faces together and cheering and smiling

You were the warmth of their hearts, you were the sum of their dreams

In the coldness of morning you brought warmth to their lives
giving this feeling of wonder I could not imagine

You unlocking these thoughts no book and no picture could ever convey

This feeling and morning had opened a door.
I stepped into a new world I watched you fly
Saw you as a friend, the spirit of dreams
I imagined a new world, lands far away,
imagined those faces as you hung in their sky

I'm leaving ground stepping into a new world.
I'm leaving ground, a new world. And watching you fly
I stepped into, I stepped into a new world
I was not alone, I think it was the first time

I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
Now I'm leaving home, leaving everything
I step into this new world leaving everything

I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
Now I'm leaving home, leaving everything that I have ever known
I step into this new world leaving everything

Leaving everything, leaving everything .

"Private eye"


I dragged this lake looking for corpses
Dusted for prints, pried up the floorboards
Pieces of planes and black box recorders
Don't lie
And I've been preoccupied with these sick, sick senses
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences
Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
That has no alibi
New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven
I watched flies fuck on channel 11
There was no one to kiss, there was nothing to drink
Except some old rotten milk someone left in the sink
And there's no ring on the phone anymore
There's no reason to call I passed out on the floor
Smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin dry
But at the right place at the right time
I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine
And I won't have to quit doing fucked up shit
For anyone but me
And at the right place at the right time
It will have been worth it to stand in line
And you won't have to stop
Saying "I love cops" for anyone but me
Your private eye

[Demonista_Ravenesque]

Double Dare
By Bauhaus

I dare you, to be real
To touch a flickering flame
The pangs of dark delight
Don't cower in night fright

Don't back away just yet
From destinations set
I dare you to be proud
To dare to shout aloud
For convictions that you feel
Like sound from bells to peal
I dare you to speak of your despise
For bureaucracy, hypocracy- all liars

I dare
I dare
I dare...... you

VNV Nation ~ Further


At the end of days, at the end of time.
When the Sun burns out will any of this matter.
Who will be there to remember who we were?
Who will be there to know that any of this had meaning for us?

And in retrospect I'll say we've done no wrong.
Who are we to judge what is right and what has purpose for us?
With designs upon ourselves to do no wrong,
running wild unaware of what might come of us.

The Sun was born, so it shall die,
so only shadows comfort me.
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me.
Each day shall end as it begins
and though you're far away from me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me

Without a thought I will see everything eternal,
forget that once we were just dust from heavens far.
As we were forced we shall return, perhaps some day,
I will remember us and wonder who we were.
