[Higher_Desire]

That's one of my faves too, CS. I have far too many to list, but here's a few of my faves:

Waste (Staind)
Well f*ck him, and f*ck her, and f*ck them, and f*ck you for not having the strength in your heart to pull through! I've had doubts, I've had fears, I've f*cked up, I've had plans, doesn't mean I should take my like with my own hands.

Inside Us All (Creed)
There's a peace inside us all, let it be your friend, it will help you carry on, in the end.

Only God Knows Why (Kid Rock)
People don't know 'bout the things I say and do, they don't understand about the s*it that I been through.

Where Is The Love (Black Eyed Peas)
Overseas yeah we tryin' to stop terrorism, but we still got terrorists here livin' in the USA, the big CIA, the Bloods and the Crips and the KKK.

The Stranger (Billy Joel)
We all have a face that we hid away forever and we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone. Some are satin, some are steel, some are silk, and some are leather. They're the faces of a stranger, but we love to try them on.

We all fall in love, we disregard the danger, though we share so many secrets there are some we never tell. Why were you so surprised that you never saw the stranger? Did you never let your lover see the stranger in yourself?

Pearl Jam-Light Years

i've used hammers made out of wood
i have played games with pieces and rules
i undeciphered tricks at the bar
but now you're gone, i haven't figured out why
i've come up with riddles and jokes about war
i've figured out numbers and what they're for
i've understood feelings and i've understood words
but how could you be taken away?
and wherever you've gone
and wherever we might go
it don't seem fair...today just disappeared
your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
we were but stones, your light made us stars
with heavy breath, awakened regrets
back pages and days alone that could have been spent, together..
but we were miles apart
every inch between us becomes light years now
no time to be void or save up on life
you got to spend it all..
and wherever you've gone
and wherever we might go
it don't seem fair...you seem to like it here
your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
we were but stones, your light made us stars
and wherever you've gone
and wherever we might go
it don't seem fair...today just disappeared
your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
we were but stones, your light made us stars

[Trees of Wisdom]

Mama Said (Metallica)
"Rebel," my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
I left home at an early age
Of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what is said is done

[facelessman]

Seventy Times Seven- Brand New
Is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
B/c i've seen more spine in jellyfish
and ive seen more guts on 11 year old kids.
Have another drink and drive yourself home
I hope theres ice on all the roads
and think of me when you forget your seatbelt
and again when your head goes through the windshield.
is that what you call tact?
youre as subtle as a brick on the small of my back
so lets end this call and end this conversation.
and is that what you call a get away
tell me what you got away with.
cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
when you say "best friends" means friends forever

and theres more where that came from, too much more

[aussiecreeder]

Soundgarden-The Day I Tried To Live, simply awesome lyrics from Cornell here.....

I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads

The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich

The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing

One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live

Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make never seem
To ever get us anywhere but dead

The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed

The day I tried to win
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

And I learned that I was a liar
Just like you

[aussiecreeder]

lyrically one of creed's best songs!

The rage in my eyes
Could have compared to the eye of a sun
Then rain
Took it's course through the hands of the Son
Repent for all time
The world is at war leaving all fault behind
So Is this the end for us my friend?
So Is this the end for us my friend?
The stains in the sky
Are there to remind us of man and his fight
When two worlds collide
One steals the life like a thief in the night
So look to the sky
He hold the keys for your life and mine
So Is this the end for us my friend?
So Is this the end for us my friend?
So Is this the end for us my friend?
Well as though we rise
As the day breaks the dawn
And as the moon hides the sun
Oh, the sun
No more sorrow
All those crying days are gone
No more sorrow, now it's gone
Now it's gone
Now it's gone
So Is this the end for us my friend?
So Is this the end for us my friend?
So Is this the end for us my friend?
So Is this the end for us my friend?

and this are the lyrics to the acoustic version

The rage in my eyes
Could have compared to the eye of the sun
Then rage Took it's course through the hands of the son
Revenge for all time
The world is at war leaving all fault behind

And I ask so
Is this the end
for us my friend
So, is this the end
for us my friend

The stains on his side
Cover the sins of mankind and his pride
That night, he died
But rose once again to sit down by his side

He reigns for all time
Taking the keys back for your life
And mine

And I ask so
Is this the end for us my friend
So, is this the end for us my friend
So, is this the end for us my friend, oh yeah

But as the wind rides
As the day breaks the dawn
And as the moon hides the sun, oh the sun
No more sorrow, oh your crying days are gone
No more sorrow, now its gone, now its gone

They're gone
They're gone
They're gone

And I ask so
Is this the end for us my friend
So, is this the end for us my friend

So, is this the end for us my friend
So, is this the end for us my friend

i really love the lyrics to the acoustic such beautiful lyrics!

[facelessman]

i agree

[SmilinSkullRing]

Okay, I won't post whole songs because that's for my random lyrics thread. Just some of the very many for now.

Big River - JOHNNY CASH
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.

Folsom Prison Blues - JOHNNY CASH
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns."
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.

Darkness On The Edge Of Town - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Everybody's got a secret Sonny
Something that they just can't face
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it
They carry it with them every step that they take
Till some day they just cut it loose
Cut it loose or let it drag 'em down
Where no one asks any questions
Or looks too long in your face
In the darkness on the edge of town

Adam Raised A Cain - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
In the summer that I was baptized
my father held me to his side
As they put me to the water
he said how on that day I cried
We were prisoners of love, a love in chains
He was standin' in the door I was standin' in the rain
With the same hot blood burning in our veins
Adam raised a Cain

Lost In The Flood - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Well the blaze and noise boy, he's gunnin' that bitch loaded to blastin' point
He rides head first into a hurricane and disappears into a point
And there's nothin' left but some blood where the body fell
That is, nothin' left that you could sell
just junk all across the horizon, a real highwayman's farewell
And he said "Hey kid, you think that's oil? Man, that ain't oil that's blood"
I wonder what he was thinking when he hit that storm
Or was he just lost in the flood?

Eighth Avenue sailors in satin shirts whisper in the air
Some storefront incarnation of Maria, she's puttin' on me the stare
and Bronx's best apostle stands with his hand on his own hardware
Everything stops, you hear five, quick shots, the cops come up for air
And now the whiz-bang gang from uptown, they're shootin' up the street
And that cat from the Bronx starts lettin' loose
but he gets blown right off his feet
And some kid comes blastin' round the corner but a cop puts him right away
He lays on the street holding his leg screaming something in Spanish
Still breathing when I walked away
And somebody said "Hey man did you see that? His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud"
I wonder what the dude was sayin' or was he just lost in the flood?

New York City Serenade - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Jackie's heels are stacked
Billy's got cleats on his boots
Together they're gonna boogaloo down Broadway and come back home with the loot
It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute
It's a mad dog's promenade
So walk tall or baby don't walk at all

Paradise - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
I sink 'neath the river cool and clear
Drifting down I disappear
I see you on the other side
I search for the peace in your eyes
But they're as empty as paradise
They're as empty as paradise

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right - BOB DYLAN
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

Love Sick - BOB DYLAN
Sometimes the silence can be like the thunder
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Could you ever be true?
I think of you
And I wonder

Standing In The Doorway - BOB DYLAN
Yesterday everything was going too fast
Today, it's moving too slow
I got no place left to turn
I got nothing left to burn
Don't know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you
It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
You left me standing in the doorway, crying
I got nothing to go back to now

Million Miles - BOB DYLAN
I need your love so bad, turn your lamp down low
I need every bit of it for the places that I go
Sometimes I wonder just what it's all coming to
Well I'm tryin' to get closer, but I'm still a million miles from you

Mississippi - BOB DYLAN
Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast
I'm drownin' in the poison, got no future, got no past
But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
I've got nothin' but affection for all those who've sailed with me

Summer Days - BOB DYLAN
Politician got on his jogging shoes
He must be running for office, got no time to lose
He been suckin' the blood out of the genius of generosity
You been rolling your eyes - you been teasing me

Subterranean Homesick Blues - BOB DYLAN
Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift

Heart Of Gold - NEIL YOUNG
I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

Cortez The Killer - NEIL YOUNG
Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones.

Not For You - PEARL JAM
Restless soul, enjoy your youth
Like Muhammad hits the truth
Can't escape from the common rule
If you hate something, don't you do it too...too...
Small my table, a sits just two
Got so crowded, i can't make room
Oh, where did they come from? stormed my room!
And you dare say it belongs to you...to you...

Dr. Jimmy - THE WHO
Doctor Jimmy and mister Jim
When I'm pilled you don't notice him,
He only comes out when I drink my gin.

My Generation - THE WHO
People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we g-g-get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Yeah, I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

Bad Boy - ERIC CLAPTON
I'm just a bad boy, long long ways from home.
I'm just a bad boy, long long ways from home.
But I ain't got nobody to bury me when I'm dead and gone.

Well I'm the cat that scratches and I'm like a dog that bites.
I'll be your box of matches, baby, when you need a light.

Better Make It Through Today - ERIC CLAPTON
Life is what you make it,
That's what the people say.
And if I can't make it through tomorrow,
I'd better make it through today.

Black Summer Rain - ERIC CLAPTON
I looked through the window,
Staring at the sky,
Waiting for a moment
That always passed me by.

Black summer rain,
Black summer rain,
Black summer rain is falling on me, girl.

Got To Get Better In A Little While - ERIC CLAPTON
Revolution all across the land.
Just like Sly, you got to take a stand.
Please don't hurt nobody, don't knock them down;
Give them a helping hand to get off the ground.

Layla - ERIC CLAPTON
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

What If - CREED
I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine
Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind
Human pride sings a vengeful song
Inspired by the times you've been walked on
My stage is shared by many millions
Who lift their hands up high because they feel this
We are one We are strong
The more you hold us down the more we press on

In America - CREED
Please mister prophet man
Tell me which way to go
I gave my last dollar
Can I still come to your show

That is a Really Good Lyric... Get Chills everytime i hear Aaron sing that...

This is my Favorite BLACK LABEL SOCIETY Song of all Time...
BRIDGE TO CROSS
"Hands on the wheel
All is straight ahead
Left behind
Second guessing all that I once said

I once said, ohhh...
I once said, ohhh...
My spirit is bent and there's blood on my hands
The more I'm down, the less i understand
Once so found, now so lost
I ask no questions,
There's just one more bridge to cross.

Always black and white
Would change it if I could
I'll take what I'm handed
Whether it's damned or if it's good

If it's good, ohh...
If it's good, ohh...
My spirit is bent and there's blood on my hands
The more I'm down, the less i understand
Once so found, now so lost
I ask no questions,
There's just one more bridge to cross.

My spirit is bent and there's blood on my hands
The more i'm down, the less i understand
Once so found, now so lost
I ask no questions,
there's just one more bridge to cross."

And THIS is my fav METALLICA Song
ONE
"I Can't Remember Anything
Can't Tell If this Is True or Dream
Deep down Inside I Feel to Scream
this Terrible Silence Stops Me
Now That the War Is Through with Me
I'm Waking up I Can Not See
That There Is Not Much Left of Me
Nothing Is Real but Pain Now

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me

Back in the Womb its Much Too Real
in Pumps Life That I must Feel
but Can't Look Forward to Reveal
Look to the Time When I'll Live
Fed Through the Tube That Sticks in Me
Just like a Wartime Novelty
Tied to Machines That Make Me Be
Cut this Life off from Me

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me

Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One
Oh God,help Me Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God Help Me

Darkness

Imprisoning Me
All That I See
Absolute Horror
I Cannot Live
I Cannot Die
Trapped in Myself
Body My Holding Cell

Landmine

Has Taken My Sight
Taken My Speech
Taken My Hearing
Taken My Arms
Taken My Legs
Taken My Soul
Left Me with Life in Hell"

[SmilinSkullRing]

The Fight Song - MARILYN MANSON
Nothing suffocates you more than
the passing of everyday human events
Isolation is the oxygen mask you make
your children breath into to survive

Coma White - MARILYN MANSON
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself

[RMadd]

Fortunate Son - CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh,

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one.

Who'll Stop The Rain - CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL
Long as I remember The rain been comin' down.
Clouds of myst'ry pourin' Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Tryin' to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

Zero - THE SMASHING PUMPKINS
she's the one for me
she's all i really need
cause she's the one for me
emptiness is loneliness, and lonliness is cleanliness
and cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
intoxicated with the madness, i'm in love with my sadness
bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
the fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
i never let on, that i was on a sinking ship
i never let on that i was down
you blame yourself, for what you can't ignore
you blame yourself for wanting more
