Tool - Aenema
Album: Aenema


some say the end is near.
some say we'll see armageddon soon.
i certainly hope we will.
i sure could use a vacation from this
bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
freaks
here in this hopeless fucking hole we call la
the only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
any fucking time. any fucking day.
learn to swim, i'll see you down in arizona bay.
fret for your figure and
fret for your latte and
fret for your hairpiece and
fret for your lawsuit and
fret for your prozac and
fret for your pilot and
fret for your contract and
fret for your car.
it's a
bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
freaks
here in this hopeless fucking hole we call la
the only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
any fucking time. any fucking day.
learn to swim, i'll see you down in arizona bay.
some say a comet will fall from the sky.
followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.
some say the end is near.
some say we'll see armageddon soon.
i certainly hope we will cuz
i sure could use a vacation from this
silly shit, stupid shit...
one great big festering neon distraction,
i've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.
learn to swim.
mom's gonna fix it all soon.
mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.
learn to swim.
fuck l ron hubbard and
fuck all his clones.
fuck all those gun-toting
hip gangster wannabes.
learn to swim.
fuck retro anything.
fuck your tattoos.
fuck all you junkies and
fuck your short memory.
learn to swim.
fuck smiley glad-hands
with hidden agendas.
fuck these dysfunctional,
insecure actresses.
learn to swim.
cuz i'm praying for rain
and i'm praying for tidal waves
i wanna see the ground give way.
i wanna watch it all go down.
mom please flush it all away.
i wanna watch it go right in and down.
i wanna watch it go right in.
watch you flush it all away.
time to bring it down again.
don't just call me pessimist.
try and read between the lines.
i can't imagine why you wouldn't
welcome any change, my friend.
i wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.
 
Dedicated to long late night conversations at the Sugarbowl, good wine, and to coworkers you can have real conversations with. Thank you Ian. To those that made us better.

Spiritualized - Broken Heart Lyrics

Though I have a broken heart
I'm too busy to be heartbroken
There's a lot of things that need to be done
Lord I have a broken heart

Though I have a broken dream
I'm too busy to be dreaming of you
There's a lot of things that I gotta do
Lord I have a broken dream

And I'm wasted all the time
I've gotta drink you right off of my mind
I've been told that this will heal given time
Lord I have a broken heart

And I'm crying all the time
I have to keep it covered up with a smile
And I'll keep on moving on for a while
 
Love Yourself by Blue Six

you hear another story everyday
of some ill fated love that got away
and nearly everytime it ends the same
when trust is gone, nobody wants the blame

you'll find
there's no one left to love you
in time
you learn to love yourself

friends are here and friends will be away
new lovers kiss, and swear they'll never stray(but they stray)
and everynight that party ends the same
with too much wine they find that
something's changed(and it's changed)

you'll find
there's no one left to love you
in time
you learn to love yourself

you'll find
when no one's thinking of you
it's time
to care about yourself

you saw it on the news the other day
a movie star's romantic hideaway
and all the time you think they've got it made
a year and they're dividing the estate(who gets the kids?)

you'll find
when no one's thinking of you
it's time
to care about yourself

you'll find
when no one's thinking of you
it's time
to care about yourself

feels alright when you start to laugh
feels too good just to let is pass
scared to say what you want to say
tastes too sweet just to end this way

(Taken from the Miguel Migs "Nude Tempo One" Cd...I also definitely love the song after this one on the cd, but I couldn't find they lyrics to it.)
 
Thanks for that, TypeRLotus. Good song. :)

Tori Amos - Lust

hey you, gender nectar
sifting through the grain of gold
tripping at your door
is that you?
alpha in her blood
and when the woman lies
you don't believe her

rolling and unrolling
coiling emerging
running free
running through the underworld
into your room

is he real or a ghost-lie?
she feels she isn't heard
and a veil of tears and rages
till her voices are remembered
and her secrets can be told

hey you, gender nectar
crystalline from the vine
you know you'll drink her
rolling and unrolling
coiling emerging
running free
running through the afterworld
into your room

so she prays
for a prankster and lust
in the marriage bed
and he waits till she can give
and he waits and he
waits

it's like everyday I wake up and there's someone new looking back at me

Interpol - Take You on a Cruise

I'm timeless like a broken watch,
And make money like Fred Astaire.
I see that you've come to resist me,
I'm a pitbull in time.
The pretense is not what restricts me,
It's what circles inside.
The anatomy of kisses,
And a teacher who tries,
Who knows how we'll disappear.
Would like to be my misses,
And a future with child?
You know we can't get back from here.
We can get away.

Baby don't you try to find me.
Baby won't you try to fight?
Lady don't you try to find me.
Baby, it will be all right.

Along the way...
Tears drown in the wake of delight.
There's nothing like this built today.
You'll never see a finer ship in your life.
We sail today...
Tears drown in the wake of delight.
There's nothing like this built today...
You'll never see a finer ship,
Or receive a better tip in your life.

I am the scavenger...
Between the sheets of union.
Lately I can't tell for sure,
If the machines turn anyone.
I am the scavenger...
Between the sheets of union.
Lately I can't tell for sure,
If the machines turn anyone.

Lady don't you try to find me.
Lady there is no need to fight.
Lady don't you try to find me.
Baby it will be all right.

We sail today...
Tears drown in the wake of delight.
There's nothing like this built today.
You'll never see a finer ship in your life.
Along the way...
The sea will crowd us with lovers at night.
There's nothing like this built today.
You'll never see a finer ship,
Or receive a better tip in your life.

I see that you've come to resist me...
I'm a pitbull in time.

White Goddess, Red Goddess,
Black temptress of the sea, you treat me right.

Black Goddess, red Goddess,
White temptress of the sea, you treat me right.

All my love is sailing to Norway.
All my love is sailing to Norway.

White Goddess, black Goddess,
Red temptress of the sea, you treat me right.

(All my love is sailing to Norway.)

White Goddess, red Goddess,
Black Temptress of the sea, you treat me right.
 
Sounds of Blackness - Optimistic

(From the album "Evolution of Gospel" )

Keep, keep On.... Never Say Die....

When in the midst of sorrow
You can' t see up when looking down
A brighter day tomorrow will bring

You hear the voice of reason
Telling you this cannot weigh me down *
No matter how hard reality seems
Just hold on to your dreams

Don't give up and don't give in
Although it seems you never win
You will always pass the test
As long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
Be optimistic

If things around you crumble
No, you don't have to stumble and fall
Keep pushing on and don't you look back

I know of storms and strive
I been around them all of life *
Just think ahead and you'll be inspired
To reach higher and higher.

You'll always do your best
If you learn to never say never
You maybe down, but you're not out.

Don't give up and don't give in
Although it seems you never win
You will always pass the test
As long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky (you can win child!)
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
Be optimistic

Don't you let no body stop you.....
Be optimistic

You can win, Yes
Never say die....
 
Incubus - Pardon me

Pardon me while I burst
Pardon me while I burst

A decade ago, I never thought I would be.
A twenty three on the verge of spontaneous combustion. Woe-is-me
But I guess that it comes with the territory.
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity.
I need you to hear. I need you to see.
That I have had all I can take
And exploding seems like a definite possibility
To me

So Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games
So Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.

Not, two days ago I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
I said I can relate
Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication as a welcomed vacation from.
The burdens of the planet earth, like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D...
And thinking so much differently.

Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.
Never be the same...yeah.

Pardon me while I burst into flames.
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.

So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.
Pardon me, never be the same. Yeah
 
COHEED AND CAMBRIA
"The Light & The Glass"

Slowly the pen touches paper in the guidance of the words that you write.
Memories roll in; of the things you once did
and who you had shared them with. Is somebody thinking of you?
Did I bother telling you this, with the words that cross teeth and jump lips?
A poor choice of words, in wanting to tell you anything.
But words don't come with ease. They're forever my hurt.
Would it really matter, if you were to count the days left with your hands?
Your focus secure and the loves you left; well
smiles staged in photographs here until...

You, you left the light on.
There's a chance I might have tripped, girl
You were there to hold on.

Ignoring the words of your obnoxious little brother;
kill or be killed spilled the words from your mother.
I'll lay awake for a while.
I'll leave the light on a while.
But you couldn't last a lifetime. Caught between here and the days of it;
carving her name across your arm with every wish. It's hit or miss... her.
I told you so. I measured distance in lines departing the rest of my life.

But you, you, you... you had better things to do
Liar, liar, liar, liar.

If you get put to sleep, like an old dog, you're better off.
If you get put to sleep;
I've been cautious with the words I extend.
Allow this year before the world starts to end.

Your father's dead. He passed in his sleep,
and I woke to the sounds of her crying.


Your father's dead. He passed in his sleep.

Pray for us all.
 
Kemopetrol - Saw it on TV


anorectic female speaking philosophy
mothers interfereing in everyone's privacy
politicians smiling over controvercy
everybody's involved in a conspiracy

saw it on tv
saw it on tv
the way my life could be
the way my life should be

people jump into conclusions so mindlessly
suffocate the ones they love overjealousy
every single one night stand leads to pregnancy
everyboby's married, still everubody's free

saw it on tv
saw it on tv
the way my life could be
the way my life should be

could you help me to be real?
i'm not sure if i can feel
would you help me, take this low
turn it into a late night show

saw it on tv
------------------------------------------

Kemopetrol - Everything That Surrounds Us


is it for real - the thing that you do
always smile at everything that surrounds us
do you feel that everything's beautiful here
or that everything's alright

cos you like, you like
you like everything that surrounds us
do you like, you like
you like everything that surrounds us?

the more you smile the more i feel taken for a ride
i'm confused deep inside
do you see something i'm not able to see
could it be that i should change my beliefs

cos you like, you like
you like everything that surrounds us
do you like, you like
you like everything that surrounds us?
 
Deftones - One Weak

Nerve, Here I borned feeding on his lung
Verve, is his curse because he wanted to meet christ alone

Bitch - you're no good, we could be so flown
Misunderstood - we could be your god

There in my bones we could be so flown
Misunderstood - because he wanted to meet Christ alone

But you will...
No you will never find me - breach unborn
Never come here watch me burn
Never bitch cause your scars show
Never will I burn

Under and beneath the floor
Before his face 'cause your no good
We could have been like one

Fuck it

Bitch you feel sore, we could be so flown
Misunderstood, Because he wanted to meet Christ alone

But you will...
No you will never find me - breach unborn
Never sit and watch me burn
Never bitch cause your scars show
Never will I burn, will I burn, will I burn, will I burn

Beg don't even try and you will never (x3)
Beg don't even waste your time...
 
Primus - Eleven


I just can't seem to blend
Into society
I have no hope for this dim
Simplicity of law and order
By whose rules I see no rhyme in
the reason
I hold no hope for this holy treason
Of love and so soft
By whose standards
They tell me, they tell me
Who are they, who is they
 
** I am not a fan of pink usually and I dont know the name of this song. I feel a bit reckless today so this song suits me perfectly.

Doctor, Doctor wont you please perscribe me something....a day in the life of someone else.

Cause Im a hazzard to myself..
 
dawsons creek - goo goo dolls

They painted up your secrets
And the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew
And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming?
No one's listening anyway.

Your voice is small and fading
And you're hiding here unknown
And you mother loves you father
'cause she's got nowhere to go
And she wonders where these dreams go
'cause the world got in her way
What's the point in never trying?
Nothing's changing anyway.

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway
And you know I see right through you
'cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming?
You're not listening anyway.

Staring back at you
Did you see my lips
Or were you smiling right in front of me

Your father called my name
Then he sighed with great relief
'Cause it wasn't me that you were clinging to

He made you turn around
You do that thing you do
And then you laughed with me

I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but you're watching me leave

Just wish they'd turn around
Just wish they'd try to see
But they don't understand and that's alright with me I'm leaving now

Going down to Tucker's Town
Where I can lie for free
Nobody stares at me and I'd love to hurt the population

She called last night
I said I'm about to leave
Then I heard him scream, "I'll pack your bags"

I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm leaving here

To see the world through your Rosy glasses
I'll teach you to fly but they teach greed
We live the belt but I can bleed

I don't know...
What I can't see...
I don't know
What I can't see

Tucker's Town - Hootie and the Blowfish
 
Artist: Nikka Costa
Title: Tug of War


There are times in our lives
When our hearts fear our minds
We can't afford to ignore
What our hearts are beating for

My soul wants to go one way
But my heart and mind playing a tug of war with me baby

Cut to the truth and watch it bleed
And in the wounds just what we need
It's everywhere if we dare
To trust the fall to lead you there

My soul wants to go one way
But my heart and mind playing a tug of war with me baby

Let me out of this cage
I'm begging for mercy I'm being your slave
What do you want me to see, my eyes are inflamed
With the rage that's among us when we come of age
There's nothing I don't know, just hasn't come to me yet
We're only trying to remember what we choose to forget
Everybody's a child that is open and free
If we can trust ourselves to be indiscreet
With our love
 
Junior Boys :: Birthday

You've gone and then you missed my birthday
You've gone and left me on my own
I'm hard to take it's cool so anyway
It's not so bad to stay at home

Is it true that it's me
You can say all the things you want to
But you don't easily
If you take all this weight behind me
And let it go
Now it's you
you forget all the things you want to
You're not here in the end
So there's nothing left to say

I guess you passed me on my birthday
You slipped right through the year I've grown
And now I can't remember anyway
I now need to wash my hands real slow

You've gone and then you missed my birthday
I know you do it all again
The end... This time I close my eyes and really wish you'd come
 
More Than This by Bryan Ferry

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this - you know there is nothing
More than this - tell me one thing
More than this - there is nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this -you know there is nothing
More than this - tell me one thing
More than this - there is nothing

........ nothing
 
Tool - Reflection

I find that I can see a light at the end down
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole.
Defeated I Concede and move closer. I may find comfort here
I may find peace within the emptiness. How pitiful.
It's calling me.
It's calling me.
It's calling me.
It's calling me.

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping.
The moon tells me a secret. My confidant.
As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own
A million light reflections pass over me
It's source is bright and endless.
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her we are lifeless satellites dreaming dreams.
And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt
Don't want to be down here feeding my narcissism
I must crucify the ego before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out before I pine away.
before I pine away.
before I pine away.
before I pine away.

So crucify the ego before it's far too late
To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Just let the light touch you and let the words spill thorough
Just let them pass right through, bringing out our hope and reason.

before I pine away.
before I pine away.
before I pine away.
before I pine away.
 
green day- boulevard of broken dreams

I walk a lonely road
The only one I that have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But its home and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find
Till then I'll walk alone

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And were I walk alone

Read between the lines of what's
Fucked up and every things all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find
Till then I'll walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find
Till then I'll walk away!
