AFI - This Time Imperfect

I cannot leave here, I cannot stay
Forever haunted, more than afraid
Asphyxiate on words I would say
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue

There are no flowers, no not this time
There'll be no angels gracing the lines
Just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak,
Just how much this hurts me

I cannot stay here, I cannot leave
Just like all I loved, I'm make believe
Imagined heart, I disappear
Seems no one will appear here and make me real

I'd tell you how it haunts me
Cuts through my day and seeps into my dreams
You don't care that it haunts me

There are no flowers, no not this time
There'll be no angels gracing the lines
Just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak,
Just how much this hurts me
Just how much you...

Lacuna Coil "Purify"

I cannot fight against myself
No more
Self destruction that I predicted
Not a long time ago

Petrified

Thoughts so far from me

The power of my justice blows me away
It's just the case to repeat
What I've never said to you before

Celebrate
I'm alive again

You don't expect from me
This chain reaction
You can't imagine from me
This great affection

See the structure of my pride
Wasn't easy to build it away from this
I never walked away from you
I never walked alone

A pleasure makes me vibe again tonight
I'm just thinking how fine it is to feel myself so fine again

Celebrate
I'm alive again

It's time to turn the page and start
And then
Don't you think that it's time
To convince yourself it's over?

Celebrate
I'm alive again

(this is one of my fav songs ever)

Rasputina - If Your Kisses Won't Hold the Man You Love...

Every time that I hear a woman cry 'cuz her man has left her flat
I just feel like saying, "don't be such a fool, you fool."
Better dry your eyes, can't you realize
You gain nothing by that
Well, that's no way to keep his heart warm, baby,
When his love grows cool

What's the use in sighing?
What's the use in crying
If he's wandered off the track?
'Cuz if your kisses won't hold the man you love
Then your tears won't bring him back, no

Might as well be cheerful
There's no use being tearful
If he's given you the sack
'Cuz if your kisses won't hold the man you love
Then your tears won't bring him back

Now, listen
If sweet sugar kissin' isn't gonna make him come home
Tell me,how do ya hope to keep him to ya
With tears instead of song

Just be a normal fella
Come on, say "What the hell-a"
Get his clothes and help him to pack
'Cuz if your kisses won't hold the man you love
Then your tears won't bring him back

Love is like home cooking: good, and wholesome
But all men need some mutton on the outside now and then
If you find your boy is cheating,
Do the same, old dear
He's only giving you the chance that you've been waiting for for years
My goodness! Tears won't get you anything
Just a shiny red nose
Go on, paint up, powder up, put on your swellest clothes
Men: go and get 'em by the score
Neglected girls shouldn't worry
That's what God made sailors for!

Don't cry for him or chase him
Just go out and replace him
With some good looking Tom, Dick or Jack
'Cuz if your kisses won't hold the man you love
Then your tears won't bring him back

If your kisses won't hold
The man you love
Then your tears won't bring him back!

(my new feminist anthem! Laughing

)

for my pain - broken days

another broken day passed by
another dead night is waiting to come alive
you are already trying to find
one more way to hide from the burning light

you donâ€™t want to see
you donâ€™t want to feel
nothing but your hopeless destiny

you can always cry but never complain
all those bitter tears, will it ease the pain?
(itâ€™s) part of the crying game will it ease the pain?

when everything should be fine
i still found you depressed and crying all the time
it seems to me that you want to feel like youâ€™re dying
kiss the darkness and turn you back to the light

you donâ€™t want to see
you donâ€™t want to feel
nothing but your hopeless destiny

you can always cry but never complain
all those bitter tears, will it ease the pain?
(itâ€™s) part of the crying game will it ease the pain?

even when the dead nights are gone those broken days remain
all those bitter tears, will it ease the pain?
(itâ€™s) part of the crying game will it ease the pain

AFI - The Last Kiss

Hung in your room, swaying, hoping only that you'll see.
All by myself, I'm alone in such poor company.
The deeper I think, the deeper I seem to sink.
I can't stop the insects that are feeding,
pull the needles from beneath my skin.

I broke myself, shattered, tied a bow round every piece.
You'll love the eyes. Have they always shown so vacantly?
The more I show, the less you'll want to know.
I can't stop the insects that are feeding,
pull the needles from beneath my skin.

Now I'm on display. I am becoming.
Hurt myself today. It's all for you.
Do you like what I'm becoming?
Cut myself today. It's all for you.

I part the night, flashing, approaching as I watch you flee.
Pushed through your panes. Seems I've landed quite uncomfortably.
But as I pass through souls of broken glass,
I can't stop the insects that are feeding,
pull the needles from beneath my skin

Now I'm on display...

Please don't ask me just what I think.
Trust me, you don't want to know.
Please don't ask me to open up.
Trust me, trust me, 'cause I can't...
stop the insects that are feeding,
pull the needles from beneath my skin

Now I'm on display...

The Dresden Dolls - Bad Habit

Biting keeps your words at bay
Tending to the sores that stay
Happiness is just a gash away
When I open a familiar scar
Pain goes shooting like a star
Comfort hasn't failed to follow so far

And you might say it's self-indulgent
You might say its self-destructive
But, you see, it's more productive
Than if I were to be healthy

And pens and penknives take the blame
Crane my neck and scratch my name
But the ugly marks are worth the momentary gain
When I jab a sharpened object in
Choirs of angels seem to sing
Hymns of hate in memorandum

And you might say it's self-indulgent
And you might say it's self-destructive
But, you see, it's more productive
Than if I were to be happy

And sappy songs about sex and cheating
Bland accounts of two lovers meeting
Make me want to give mankind a beating

And you might say it's self-destructive
But, you see, I'd kick the bucket
Sixty times before I'd kick the habit

And as the skin rips off, I cherish the revolting thought
That even if I quit, there's not a chance in hell I'd stop
And anyone can see the signs, mittens in the summertime
Thank you for your pity, you are too kind

And you might say its self-inflicted
But you see that's contradictive
Why on earth would anyone practice self-destruction?

And pain opinions are sitcom feeding
They don't know that their minds are teething
Makes me want to give mankind a beating

I've tried bandages and sinking
I've tried gloves and even thinking
I've tried vaseline, I've tried everything
And no-one cares if your back is bleeding
They're concerned with their hair receding
Looking back, it was all maltreating
Every thought that occurred misleading
Makes me want to give myself a beating

Death Cab For Cutie - Tiny Vessels

"this is the moment that you know
that you told you loved her but you don't.
you touch her skin and then you think
that she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.
yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.

i spent two weeks in Silverlake
the California sun cascading down my face
there was a girl with light brown streaks
and she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.
yeah she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.

wanted to believe in all the words that i was speaking
as we moved together in the dark
and all the friends that i was telling
and all the playful misspellings
and every bite i gave you left a mark

tiny vessels oozed into your neck
and formed the bruises
that you said you didn't want to fade
but they did and so did i that day

all i see are dark grey clouds
in the distance moving closer with every hour
so when you ask "was something wrong?"
that i think "you're damn right there is but we can't talk about it now.
no, we can't talk about it now."

so one last touch and then you'll go
and we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
but it was vile, and it was cheap
and you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
yeah you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me (x2)"

oh man, that song is so harsh - but you gotta love the sentiment

Anathema - Shroud of false -

We are just a moment in time,
A blink of an eye,
A dream for the blind,
Visions from a dying brain,
I hope you don't understand

Music and Words D.Patterson

Very Happy

negative - locked in the darkside

Waiting for something, something
more to live for... it has taken too
long since I've had something to hold on.

I'm locked in a darkside,
locked in a darkside.

What if that all we felt inside
is just illusion, a waste of time
and every tear we cried inside
is just a sign we went too far

Waiting for something, something more
to fight for... finding pieces, now
I'm part of it. It's part of me...
