    • Chasing Down Sanity

      Evanescence
      My Immortal



      I'm so tired of being here.
      Suppressed by all my childhood fears.
      And if you have to leave,
      I wish that you would just leave.
      Cause your presence still lingers here,
      and it won't leave me alone.

      These wounds won't seem to heal,
      this pain is just too real,
      there's just too much that time cannot erase.

      When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
      When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
      I held your hand through all of these years.
      But you still have...
      All of me.

      You used to captivate me by your resonating mind,
      Now I'm bound by the life you left behind.
      Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
      Your voice has chased away all the sanity in me.

      These wounds won't seem to heal,
      this pain is just too real,
      there's just too much that time cannot erase.

      When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
      When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
      I held your hand through all of these years.
      But you still have...
      All of me.

      I tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone.
      But though you're still with me,
      I've been alone all along.

      When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
      When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
      I held your hand through all of these years.
      But you still have...
      All of me.
      Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul Tigh

      • Hes So Shy Lyrics
        Pointer Sisters


        When I first saw him standin' there
        I longed to speak, but did not dare
        Something inside whispered to me
        You'd better move in carefully

        And then he smiled and turned away
        That told me all he could not say
        That's when I knew
        He wanted me too
        But I had to do some breakin' through

        He's so shy
        So good lookin'
        He's so shy
        And he's really got me goin'
        That sweet little boy who caught my eye
        He's so shy
        I'm so glad I got to know him
        He's so shy
        'Cos he's one in a million
        And I'll love him 'til the day I die
        Oh, yes I will

        Now holding him gently through the night
        Nothin' has ever felt so right
        And I'm so glad I took the time
        That I had to take to make him mine

        He can still do things to my heart
        Just like he could right from the start
        Each time I see
        That quality
        That never stops attracting me

        He's so shy
        That's why I love my baby
        He's so shy
        You know he's drivin' me crazy
        That sweet little boy who caught my eye
        He's so shy
        I'm so glad I got to know him
        He's so shy
        And I'm so glad I got to show him
        That I'll love him until the day I die
        Oh, yes I will

        He's so shy
        Oooh-wee, oooh-wee, baby
        He's so shy
        Oooh-wee, oooh-wee, baby
        He's so shy
        And that's why. . .

        • Meet Me In The Morning (Bob Dylan)

          Meet me in the morning, 56th and Wabasha
          Meet me in the morning, 56th and Wabasha
          Honey, we could be in Kansas
          By time the snow begins to thaw.

          They say the darkest hour is right before the dawn
          They say the darkest hour is right before the dawn
          But you wouldn't know it by me
          Every day's been darkness since you been gone.

          Little rooster crowin', there must be something on his mind
          Little rooster crowin', there must be something on his mind
          Well, I feel just like that rooster
          Honey, ya treat me so unkind.

          The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
          Well, the birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
          Well now, I ain't got any matches
          And the station doors are closed.

          Well, I struggled through barbed wire, felt the hail fall from above
          Well, I struggled through barbed wire, felt the hail fall from above
          Well, you know I even outran the hound dogs
          Honey, you know I've earned your love.

          Look at the sun sinkin' like a ship
          Look at the sun sinkin' like a ship
          Ain't that just like my heart, babe
          When you kissed my lips?

          • Running On Faith
            Eric-Clapton



            Lately I’ve been running on faith
            What else can a poor boy do?
            But my world will be right
            When love comes over you

            Lately I’ve been talking in my sleep
            I can’t imagine what I’d have to say
            Except my world will be right
            When love comes back your way

            I’ve always been
            One to take each and every day
            Seems like by now
            I’d find a love who cares just for me

            Then we’d go running on faith
            All of our dreams would come true
            And our world will be right
            When love comes over me and you

            Chorus

            Then we’d go running on faith
            All of our dreams would come true
            And our world will be right
            When love comes over me and you
            When love comes over you
            Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

              A little girl skipping rope with her friends
              A tisket a tasket no lunch in her basket
              Just school books 4 the fight she would be in
              One day over this hoodie
              She got beat 4 some clothes and her rep
              With her chin up she scolded "all y’all’s molded
              When I’m rich on your neck I will step"
              And step she did 2 the straight A’s
              Then college a master degree
              She hired the heifers that jumped her
              And made everyone of them work 4 free.
              No! why?
              So what if my sisters are triflin’?
              They just don’t know
              She said "mama didn’t tell’em what she told me
              ’girl u need ***** control’"

              Aaah ***** control oh
              Aaah ***** control oh

              Verse 2
              ***** got bank in her pockets

              If she come and sing a lick on his hit
              ***** said "nigga u crazy if u don’t know

              Aaah ***** control oh
              Aaah ***** control oh

              Breakdown

              With one more verse 2 the story
              I need another piece of your ear
              I wanna hip u all 2 the reason
              I’m known as the player of the year
              Cuz I met this girl named *****
              At the club international balls
              She was rollin’ 4-deep
              3 sisters and a weepy-eyed white girl drivin’ her haul
              I pulled up right beside her
              And my electric top went down
              I said "mother****er I know your reputation
              And I’m astounded that u’re here
              I fear u’re lonely and u want 2 know
              A 12 o’clock straight up nigga
              That don’t give a **** that u’re ***** control
              Well I’m that nigga at least I wanna be
              But it’s gonna be hard as hell
              2 keep my mind off a body
              That would make every rich man
              Want 2 sell sell sell
              Can I tell u what I’m thinkin’ that u already know?
              U need a mother****er that respects your name"
              Now say it ***** control

              Aaah ***** control oh
              Aaah ***** control oh

              And the moral of this mother****er is
              Ladies make’em act like they know
              U are was and always will be ***** control
              Peace and be wild

              Oh no don’t u think about callin’ her a ho
              U juvenile delinquent
              Best sit your ass down
              Talkin’ about ***** control
              Huh can u dig it?

              Aaah ***** control
              Oh

                Don’t be aroused
                By my confession
                Unless you don’t give a good goddamn about redemption
                I know Christ is coming
                And so am I
                You would too if the sexy devil caught your eye
                She’ll suck you dry
                Soon you’ll cry
                To be back in her bosom
                To do it again
                She’ll make you weep
                And moan and cry
                To be back in her bosom
                To do it again
                Pray – shall I go blind?
                Pray – cos nobody ever survives
                Praying to stay in your arms
                Just until I can die a little longer
                Saviors and saints
                Devils and demons alike
                She’ll eat you alive
                Jesus is risen
                It's no surprise
                Even he would
                Martyr his momma
                To ride to hell between those thighs
                The pressure is building
                At the base of my spine
                If I gotta sin to see her again
                Then I'm gonna lie and lie and lie
                She'll make you cry
                I'll sell my soul
                To be back in your bosom
                And gladly help
                Please suck me dry
                And still you'll cry
                To be back in her bosom
                Do it again
                Pray – shall I go blind?
                Pray – cos nobody ever survives
                Praying to stay in your arms
                Just until I can die a little longer
                Saviors and saints
                Devils and demons alike
                She’ll eat you alive
                My pulse has been rising
                My temples are burning
                The pressure is so overwhelming and building
                So steady and heavy
                I'm ready to blow
                She waits, what is she waiting for?
                Pray – shall I go blind?
                Pray – 'cause nobody ever survives
                Praying to stay in your arms
                Just until I can die a little longer
                Saviors and saints
                Devils and demons alike
                She’ll eat you alive
                I wasn't born with enough middle fingers.

                • shes my kind of rain
                  like love in a drunken sky
                  shes confetti falling
                  down all night

                  she sits quietly there
                  black water in a jar
                  says baby why you
                  trembling like you are

                  so i wait
                  and try to confess like a child

                  shes my kind of rain
                  like love from a drunken sky
                  confetti falling down all night
                  shes my kind of rain

                  shes the sun set shadows
                  shes like rembrandts light
                  shes the history thats made at night
                  shes my lost companion
                  shes my dreaming tree
                  together in this brief eternity
                  summer days , winter snows
                  shes all things to behold

                    Ay yo,
                    I wanna dedicate this song right here to Oren Ishii
                    Half Chinese, half Japanisie, half American, and yo
                    Oh what a species

                    A figure of perfection

                    She got the sinister cat eyes
                    And little freckles on her complexion
                    Chief of the Yakusa
                    But she's wicked like Medusa
                    And she got Crazy 88 killers
                    That'd slice right through ya
                    Quick to chop a head off
                    Then wipe the blood off

                    A long-range sniper shot she busts
                    Never let a dud off
                    You got a minute to pray
                    And a second to die
                    You could see the image of the devil reflectin inside her eye

                    But since she was a little girl, yo
                    She never would cry
                    She seen so much tragedy
                    Let me explain to you why

                    She grew up on a military base
                    Where she had to face
                    The brutality of her mother and her father being erased
                    The blood dried from her teardrops on her cheek
                    You seen the smear spots
                    She sat, only watched
                    As the shogun sliced through her dear pops
                    Through his thick skull
                    Ya she's vicious, like a pit bull
                    And when it comes to hatred and revenge
                    She got a sh!t full

                    Revenge is the fire that burns inside your soul

                    Ay yo, she been bustin up knee caps son
                    Since the age of 11
                    But f**kin her enemy to death
                    That was her favorite weapon
                    And in death you paid in hell
                    Boy it can't be paid in heaven
                    You better get down on your knees son
                    And start prayin to the reverend
                    Bon Appetite
                    Boy revenge is so sweet
                    Especially when it's served on a cold dish

                    But she has no wish
                    But to cut yo day short
                    Like the winter solstice
                    And the chance to receive a slight bit of mercy from her was hopeless

                    Oren Ishii
                    Half Chinese, half Japanisie, half American
                    Oh, what a species
                    Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul Tigh

                    • Diamonds and Rust
                      Judas Priest
                      (original lyrics by Joan Baez)


                      I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
                      but that's not unusual
                      it's just that the moon is full
                      and you decided to come
                      And here I sit, hand on the telephone
                      hearing the voice I'd known
                      a couple of light years ago
                      headed straight for a fall
                      But we both know what memories can bring
                      they bring Diamonds and Rust
                      yes we both know what memories can bring
                      they bring Diamonds and Rust
                      Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair
                      Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over washington square
                      and then comes that white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
                      Speaking strictly for me
                      we both could've died then and there
                      Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
                      then give me another word for it
                      you were so good with words
                      and at keeping things paid
                      cause I need some of that vagueness now, it's all come back too clearly
                      yes, I love you dearly
                      and if you're offering me diamonds and rust
                      I've already paid
                      But we both know what memories can bring
                      they bring Diamonds and Rust
                      yes we both know what memories can bring
                      they bring Diamonds and Rust
                      Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
                      Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
                      Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
                      Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
                      Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

                        Nancy Sinatra
                        Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)


                        I was five and he was six
                        We rode on horses made of sticks
                        He wore black and I wore white
                        He would always win the fight

                        Bang bang, he shot me down
                        Bang bang, I hit the ground
                        Bang bang, that awful sound
                        Bang bang, my baby shot me down.

                        Seasons came and changed the time
                        When I grew up, I called him mine
                        He would always laugh and say
                        "Remember when we used to play?"

                        Bang bang, I shot you down
                        Bang bang, you hit the ground
                        Bang bang, that awful sound
                        Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.

                        Music played, and people sang
                        Just for me, the church bells rang.

                        Now he's gone, I don't know why
                        And till this day, sometimes I cry
                        He didn't even say goodbye
                        He didn't take the time to lie.

                        Bang bang, he shot me down
                        Bang bang, I hit the ground
                        Bang bang, that awful sound
                        Bang bang, my baby shot me down...

                        • CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD
                          Electric Light Orchestra


                          Midnight on the water
                          I saw the ocean's daughter
                          Walkin' on a waves chicane
                          Staring as she called my name

                          And I can't get it out of my head
                          No I can't get it out of my head
                          Now my old world is gone for dead
                          Cos I can't get it out of my head

                          Breakdown on the shore line
                          Can't move, it's an ebb tide
                          Morning don't go here tonight
                          Searching for her silver light
                          (repeat chorus)

                          Bank job in the city
                          Robin Hood and William Tell and
                          Ivanhoe and Lancelot they don't envy me
                          Sitting till the sun goes down
                          In dreams the world keeps going round and round
                          (repeat chorus)
                          Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

                            Hey Boy Blue, can't you hear all the noise, it's for you.
                            All the town's waiting there, let us go.
                            There's a show like you ain't seen before.
                            Welcome home, where you been all these years, look around.
                            All the crowd is in tears,
                            It's so good to see you in the streets of your town
                            CHORUS
                            Hey Boy Blue is back.
                            Hey Boy Blue is back.
                            Hey Boy Blue is back.
                            Hey Boy Blue is back.
                            Hey Boy Blue is back.
                            Hey Boy Blue is back.
                            I've seen bold knights, dropping down like flies,
                            I've seen kings, rolling in the mire,
                            I've seen God, point the finger of doom to our foes.
                            I have fought in the holiest wars,
                            I have smashed, some of the holiest jaws.
                            I've been jailed, been impaled, and been dragged through the world.
                            One thing, I have learned through these years,
                            Is that no man, should be stricken with fear.
                            It should be that he walks with no care in the world.
                            So my friends, who are gathered today,
                            Hear this clear, for I'll not further say.
                            That no man, shall cause me to take up arms again.
                            Hey Boy Blue is back.
                            Hey Boy Blue is back.
                            Hey Boy Blue is back.
                            Hey Boy Blue is back.
                            Hey Boy Blue is back.
                            Hey Boy Blue is back.
                            Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

                              In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
                              I am strong and wise and I know no fear
                              But the truth is plain to see
                              She was sent to rescue me
                              I see who I wanna be
                              In my daughter's eyes

                              In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
                              Darkness turns to light and the
                              world is at peace
                              This miracle God gave to me gives me
                              strength when I am weak
                              I find reason to believe
                              In my daughter's eyes

                              And when she wraps her hand
                              around my finger
                              Oh it puts a smile in my heart
                              Everything becomes a little clearer
                              I realize what life is all about

                              It's hangin' on when your heart
                              has had enough
                              It's giving more when you feel like giving up
                              I've seen the light
                              It's in my daugter's eyes

                              In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
                              A reflection of who I am and what will be
                              Though she'll grow and someday leave
                              Maybe raise a family
                              When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
                              she made me
                              For I'll be there
                              In my daughter's eyes

                                The hours the rain wildens
                                In the land of the visigoths you sail

                                In two you said your life will be cut
                                And before I reach thrice to deny you

                                How could the Mediterenian be chained with ropes

                                Which night-ode has your light taken
                                Here's Atika, brain dump
                                And I a cheap shooting range
                                In which they practise, swearing, foreign soldiers
