The Dresden Dolls
Gravity

Gravity plays favorites
I know it 'cause I saw
Honest to god, officer
It's awful
(Awful)

Down at work I'm getting too familiar with the floor
Trading in my talents by the mouthful
Hate to break it to you
But it's out of my control
Forces go to work while we are sleeping
(Sleeping)
And if I could attack with a more sensible approach
Obviously that's what I'd be doing
Right?
Someone tell her,
Someone get her off

Gravity works slowly
If you notice it at all
Some of us are getting mighty lucky
Aren't we?
If you had to live with this
You'd rather lie than fall
You think I can't fly?
Well you just watch me
Watch me!
Someone tell her
Someone get her off

Now
Necks are cracking sideways
Hit me from the backside
I am on the white side
You are on the black side
Cut a piece that's bite sized
Shoot me from my bad side
If you want a straight line
This would be a good time

You can do it
Good girl
Right foot
Left foot
Just the way we showed you
Posture!
Posture
Go over and see if she's moving, okay?
I think we've lost her!

Necks are cracking sideways
Hit me from the backside
I am on the thin side
You are on the fat side
Cut a piece that's bite sized
Shoot me from my good side
If you want a straight line
This'd be a good time

Foo Fighters "Walk"

A million miles away
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return

I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?

Do you remember the days
We built these paper mountains
And sat and watched them burn?
I think I found my place
Can't you feel it growing stronger?
Little conquerors

I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?

Now
For the very first time
Don't you pay no mind?
Set me free again
You keep alive a moment at a time
But still inside a whisper to a riot
To sacrifice but knowing to survive
The first decline another state of mind
I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I'm on my knees
I never wanna die
I'm dancing on my grave
I'm running through the fire
Forever, whatever
I never wanna die
I never wanna leave
I'll never say goodbye
Forever, whatever
Forever, whatever

I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?

I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?

Foo Fighters "Best Of You"

I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh...

Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love you'd die to heal
The hope that starts the broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Each from memory. Hope they're right.

She Wants Revenge
Tear You Apart

Got a big plan, his mind said
Maybe it's right
At the right place and right time
Maybe tonight
In a whisper or handshake
Sending a sign
Wanna make out and kiss hard
Wait, nevermind

Late night, in passing
Mentioned, it slipped
To her best friend
It's no thing
Maybe it slipped
But the slip turns to terror
And a crush to like
She walked in, he froze up
Leave it to fright

It's cute in a way till you cannot speak
And you leave to have a cigarette
Knees get weak
Escape was just a nod and a casual wave
Obsessed about it,
Heavy for the new two days

It's only just a crush it'll go away
It's just like all the others,
It'll go away
Or maybe this is danger and you just don't know
You pray it all the way but it continues to grow

I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right
I want to hold you close
Soft breath
Lean in hard
As I whisper in your ear
I wanna f*cking tear you apart

Then he walked up and told her
Thinking maybe it'd pass
And they talked and looked away a lot
Doing the dance
Her hand brushed up against his
He left it there
Told her how he felt and then they locked in a stare

They took a step back, thought about it,
What should they do
'Cause there's always repercussions when you're dating in school
But their lips met and reservations started to pass
Whether this was just a feeling or a thing that would last
Either way, he wanted her
And this was bad
Wanted to do things to her
It was making him crazy
Now a little crush turned into a like
And now he wants to grab her by the hair and tell her

I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right
I want to hold you close
Soft breasts, kneading hard
As I whisper in your ear
I wanna f*cking tear you apart...


She Wants Revenge
Black Liner Run

Run, run, run
Would you wear that black liner, baby?
Run, run, run
Would you wear that black liner, baby?
Run, run, run
Run, run, run

I read your every entry
I read your secrets and didn't sleep
They say you'll never let me see your face
Wish me luck then laugh at the sad case

My friend is on the phone whining crash lights
Says you can stay at mine
Pleasant dreams sleep night light
An anime with perfect lascerations
He don't wanna see
It's becoming a fixation

She never leaves her home but she's real sweet
Got her own style
Leaves her windows real wide
Crosses her fingers after so many years
Mascara runs through the tracks of her tears

(Run, run, run, would you wear that black liner, baby)
Still it's nice to wish
(Run, run, run...)
If he'd understand
(Run, run, run...)
This could never be
(Run, run, run...)
Still, he's making plans

I caught a death when I signed on
I saw your pictures and couldn't eat
I swear that you were sent here just to tease
And you smile back in between asterisks

I wear my heart on my sleeve when I write you
These incidents lead to dead ends
And surely they excite you
Or did you know?
Is it you're typing blindly
Choose a public place, darling
Won't you let me find thee?

He leaves cats' eyes after poems
So she knows who he's speaking
When she's reading it alone
She's waited eagerly, but will she embrace
In bloodied hands, her new lover's face?

(Run, run, run, would you wear that black liner, baby)
Still it's nice to wish
(Run, run, run...)
If he understands
(Run, run, run)
This could never be
(Run, run, run)
Still he's making plans...

Run, run, run, would you wear that black liner, baby
Run, run, run
Run, run, run

VAST
Pretty When You Cry

You're made of my river, baby
You're made of my sin
And I can't tell where you're lust ends
And where your love begins
I didn't wanna hurt you, baby
I didn't wanna hurt you
I didn't wanna hurt you
But you're pretty when you cry

And the moon gives me permission
As I enter through her eyes
She's losing her virginity
And all her will to compromise
I didn't wanna hurt you, baby
I didn't wanna hurt you
I didn't wanna hurt you
But you're pretty when you cry

I didn't wanna f*ck you, baby
I didn't wanna f*ck you
I didn't wanna f*ck you
But you're pretty when you're mine
I didn't really love you, baby
I didn't really love you
I didn't really love you
But I'm pretty when I lie

I hurt you, baby
I hurt you, baby

If you knew how much I loved you
You would run away
And when I treat you bad
It always makes you wanna stay

I didn't wanna hurt you, baby
I didn't wanna hurt you, baby
I didn't wannt hurt you, baby!

I hurt you, baby
You hurt me, baby

Pink "Crystal Ball"

Drinking wine and thinking bliss, is on the other side of this
I just need a compass and a willing accomplice
All my doubts that fill my head cascading up and down again
Up and down and round again, down and up and down again.

Oh, I've had my chances and I've taken them all.
Just to end up right back here on the floor.
To end up right back here in on the floor.

Pennies in a well, a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel.
Fortune teller that says maybe you will go to hell.
But I'm not scared at all...hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

The cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball.

Sometimes you think everything is wrapped inside a diamond ring
Love just needs a witness and a little forgiveness
And a halo of patience and a less sporadic pace and
I'm learning to be brave in my beautiful mistakes.

Oh I've felt that fire and I've been burned
But I wouldn't trade the pain for what I've learned
I wouldn't trade the pain for what I've learned.

Pennies in a well, a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel.
Fortune teller that says maybe you will go to hell.
But I'm not scared at all...hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

Of the cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball.

Irony, irony, this hate and love, hate and love
What it does to me, what it's done to me.
What is done...done

Pennies in a well, a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel.
Broken mirrors and a black cats cold stare,
Walk under ladders on my way to hell, I'll meet you there.

But I'm not scared at all, hmm...I'm not scared at all.

Of the cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball

Tool
Reflection

I have come curiously close to the end now
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

And in my darkest moment
Feeble and weeping
The moon tells me a secret, a confidant
As full and bright as I am
This light is not my own and
A million light reflections
Pass over me

Its source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her we'd be lifeless satellites drifting

And as I pour my head out
I am without one doubt
You wanna peer down here
Survey my narcissism
I must crucify the ego
Before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out

Before I pine away

So crucify the ego
Before it's far too late
Leave behind this place so
Negative and blind and cynical
And you will come to find
That we are all one mind
Capable of all that's imagined
And all conceivable
So let the light touch you
So that the words spill through
And let the past break through
Bringing out our hope and reason

Before we hide away

"On The Turning Away"

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"
It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud
On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

 

[Ladyghosthunter]

Rush – The Pass Lyrics
Proud swagger out of the schoolyard
Waiting for the world's applause
Rebel without a conscience
Martyr without a cause
Static on your frequency
Electrical storm in your veins
Raging at unreachable glory
Straining at invisible chains
And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
Staring down into a heartless sea
Can't face life on a razor's edge
Nothings what you thought it would be
All of us get lost in the darkness
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutter
Dreamers turn to look at the cars
Turn around and turn around and turn around
Turn around and walk the razor's edge
Don't turn your back
And slam the door on me

It's not as if this barricade
Blocks the only road
It's not as if you're all alone
In wanting to explode

Someone set a bad example
Made surrender seem all right
The act of a noble warrior
Who lost the will to fight

And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
Staring down into a heartless sea
Done with life on a razor's edge
Nothings what you thought it would be

No hero in your tragedy
No daring in your escape
No salutes for your surrender
Nothing noble in your fate
Christ, what have you done?

Major Tom ( David Bowie}

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you

Spoken:
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Lift-off

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much (she knows!)
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear....

Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

K's Choice
20,000 Seconds

20,000 seconds since you left
And I'm still counting
20,000 reasons to get up, get something done
But I'm still waiting
For someone kind enough
To pick me up and give me food
Assure me that the world is good
But you should be here
You should be here

How cars can change and
Even the texture of the rain
What's that ugly little stain on the bathroom floor I'd
Rather not deal with that right now I'd
Rather be floating in space somewhere or
Worrying about the ozone layer

And it's almost like a
Corny movie scene
But I'm out of frame
And the lighting's bad
And the music has no theme
And we're all so strong when
Nothing's wrong
And the world is at our feet
But how small we are when our love is
Far away, and all we need
Is you

OMG I can't believe someone hasn't posted this one yet! (And if they did, they misspelled the band name cuz yes, I did a search....wasn't gonna read thru 817 posts, LOL)

The Middle
by Jimmy Eat World

Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.

ok, gonna cheat and post another few lines....Cuz I can and this is one of my all time favorite songs. Its rare that I don't ever grow tired of a song!

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.

@Solara, my "ground rules" of 2011 went the way of the dinosaur after it got passed page one, it seems. :D People tend to post whole songs now, but I appreciate you reading my first post.
