Tell Your Story Walking - Deb Talan
Tell it to the judge, man.
Tell it to your motherless reflection.
In a sock and one shoe
after the great defection
he said, "tell a lie sometimes, tell the truth
when it suits you, and when you've lost your way
tell a story."
Trial By Fire - ThouShaltNot
I sculpt your nature within
I am your Pygmalion
Go now into the world
Trial by fire
The passing of an hour
The splitting of a fraction
A chemical reaction
Is waiting to fluoresce
Your mind is still rewiring
Caleb - Sonata Arctica
[There is a man in this world who has never smiled
You may know his tragedy, the later years by heart
In the beginning there was a mother, father and a child
A troubled little silent boy whose life they were to destroy
Known to us from this day on like his father, Caleb]
Rumbrave - Murder By Death
I had jade colored eyes
That shimmered in the sun
If you stared at them too long
You'd catch a glimpse of what I'd done
The faces of the damned
And all the butchered lambs
If I had to do it over
I just would've done it slower
When we meet you will see
I will destroy everything of beauty
When we meet then you'll know
I'll be the axe that clears the forest
Oblivion - Patrick Wolf
Father, where's my gun?
Now that the war has begun
Oh, let me go it alone
I need no one
I said I need no one
But oh, god, now here it comes
And it's too dark to aim this gun
And now faster, faster, faster
Once again I'm on the run
Prelude 12/21 - AFI
This is what I brought you, this you can keep.
This is what I brought, you may forget me.
I promise to depart, just promise one thing.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
The Libertine - Patrick Wolf
And in this drought of truth and invention, whoever shouts the loudest gets the most attention, so we pass the mic and they've got nothing to say except:
Bow down, bow down, bow down to your god.
Then we hit the floor, and make ourselves an idol to bow before.
Well I can't,
And I won't
Bow down,
Anymore...
No more.
Terrible Lie - Nine Inch Nails
Hey god, I really dont know what you mean.
Seems like salvation comes only in our dreams.
I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme.
Hey god, can this world really be as sad as it seems
Idioteque (Radiohead Cover) - Vienna Teng
I have seen too much
You haven't seen enough
You haven't seen it
I'll laugh until my head comes off
Women and children first
And children first
The Stranger - Billy Joel
Don't be afraid to try again
Everyone goes south
Every now and then
You've done it, why can't
Someone else?
You should know by now
You've been there yourself
Bad Education - Tilly and the Wall
now it’s all bad education
feeling fine, I’m feeling patient
girls and boys and full frustration
St. Valentine, I think I taste it
Crawling Deeper - ThouShaltNot
Because I'm crawling deeper in
Into my own skin
Where there's no one to chase away
Or to guess the next thing that I say
I'm invisible to you
To your bird's eye view
I know the angle all too well
It's how I saw before I fell
But now it's not so hard to tell
I'm crawling deeper in myself
I Am A Rock - Simon & Garfunkel
I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
Jack the Ripper - Colin Meldy
Crash into my arms
I want you
You don't agree -
But you don't refuse
I know you
And I know a place
Where no one is likely to pass
Oh, you don't care if it's late
And you don't care if you're lost
And oh, you look so tired
(But tonight you presume too much)
Ain't Your Fairytale - Sonata Arctica
Are you ready to walk the forbidden road,
learn again what we tried to forget...
(The dark can now take over you...)
Soul Society - Kamelot
If my soul could revive
from my carnal remains
what does it matter to me
If it all fades to black
If I’m born once again
then no-one really is free
How could I be condemned
for the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know
Some things under the sun
Can never be understood
Love Is Not Enough - Nine Inch Nails
For you to go and take this
And smash it apart
I’ve gone all this fucking way
To wind up back at…back at the start
Hey!
The closer we think we are
Well, it only got us so far
Now you’ve got anything left to show?
No, no I didn’t think so.
Hey!
The sooner we realize
We cover ourselves with lies
But underneath we’re not so tough
And love is not enough
I Am the Weapon - David Usher
You and I are helpless
Falling like the leaves
Blowing through the city
I am the weapon
It's the Fear - Within Temptation
Hold down your head now,
just let me pass by
Don't feed my fear,
If you don't want it out
The Black Halo - Kamelot
I have resigned myself to death
Come will to show the hidden hand
So I can draw my final breath
You could take me higher
So you said and I trusted you
I may be a liar, but betrayal lies on you
Trains - ThouShaltNot
And I've been riding trains because I'm so afraid to drive
Running lifeless over metal tracks too scared to stay alive
And what paralysis is worse
That from the world or from inside?
And where's the borderline at which the two divide?
'52 Ford - Murder By Death
Hey now, what you gonna do?
Got a fiver in your pocket
And a switchblade in your boot
Hey now what you gonna say
To make it go away?
Inside of You, In Spite of You - ThouShaltNot
I am hidden memories that you seek
I am the sun before you see me rise
I burn still when you close your eyes
I am the soul that never dies when flesh is weak
I am inside of you in spite of you
With strength and sacred grace
But for all you do
I'll carry you now
From this bitter place
Damaris - Patrick Wolf
and now I kiss I kiss the earth
oh rise up, rise up, rise up now
from the earth
and I smash my fist into the earth
oh rise up, rise up, rise up now
from the earth
The Hand That Feeds - Nine Inch Nails
You're keeping in step
In the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Because you do
What you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying - Belle & Sebastian
Oh, I'll settle down with some old story
About a boy who's just like me
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
You're so naive!
They always reach a sorry ending
They always get it in the end
BONUS TRACK
Bet On It - Zac Efron
Everybody's always talkin' at me
Everybody's tryin' to get in my head
I wanna listen to my own heart talkin'
I need to count on my self instead
