"Special"

living without you
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
spread disease about you over town

I used to adore you
couldn't control you
there was nothing that I wouldn't do
to keep myself around and close to you

do you have an opinion
a mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
but I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

CHORUS
do you have an opinion
a mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I used to abuse you
I knew I abused you
now you're here an back in for the chance
there's no way in hell I'd take you back

CHORUS

but I've run out of patience
run out of comments
I'm tired of your violence
I couldn't care less

I'm looking for you

you were the talk of the town

I thought you were special

"Awake"

wait another minute
can't you see
what this pain
has fucking done to me
I'm alive
and still kickin
what you see
I can't see
and maybe
you'll think before you speak

CHORUS
I'm alive
for you I'm awake
because of you I'm alive
told you I'm awake
swallowing you

take another second
turn your back on me
and make believe that you're always happy
it's safe to say you're never alive
a big part of you has dies and by the way
I hope you're satisfied

CHORUS

Bridge
tearin it back unveilin me
takin a step back so I can breathe
hear the silence about to break
fear resistence when I'm awake

CHORUS

"Bad Magick"

does it feel so bad when you're taking a drag
and when you're lookin at the world through tired eyes
when you stare at it dead and you're givin it head
and all those things you say you love never come alive
oh yeah

CHORUS
if it feels so bad
bad magick playing off of me
feels so bad
oh no I don't wanna be your friend
feels so bad
bad magick laying into me
feels so bad
oh no I don't wanna hear it again

when you get so high that you want to die
but everything around you is turining green
when you're getting so low
and I know you've been feeling like a dried out leaf
in a summer breeze
I don't like it

CHORUS

POST-CHORUS

I can't see I can't breathe
see you quiver like the dogs on the street
lookin down on as I beat you

CHORUS
it's a bad religion
from a broken nation
it's a contradiction
and I can't take it anymore

who's to say I won't like you anyway
take a deep breath I'm alive
can you feel me
I'm alive inside you
agony creeps up behind you

CHORUS

and I can't take it any fucking way

and I can't take the pressure
I'm goin insane now go away

CHORUS

"Goin' Down"

I see the world it's goin round

"Time Bomb"

1st Verse
I am in a living hell
makes me wonder why I'm alive
can't seem to bring myself to figure anyway
I shop in a voodoo way to the thing that I call you everyday
I can't seem to bring you down but I know I'm comin

I feel your pins through my eyes
missing me

I drown in all this piss
you drink it from me everyday
I live in a world of shit
been left here to die
sometimes I realize my mind is meant to go away
never have seen your god
so why should I believe in it

CHORUS
I feel your pins through my eyes
missing me all the time
another time bomb
another time bomb

Repeat 1st Verse

CHORUS

Bridge
I never find the time to find another fuckin place
I'm a bad motherfucker who lives it everyday
you never look at me now
you never look me in the face
I'm a time bomb baby

what am I waiting for

Bridge

time bomb

"Voodoo"

CHORUS
I'm not the one who's so far away
when I feel the snake bit inta my vein
never did I wanna be here again
and I don't remember why I came

candles raise my desire
why I'm so far away
no more meaning to my life
no more reason to stay
freezin feelin breathe in breathe in
I'm coming back again

CHORUS

hazing clouds rain on my head
empty thoughts fill my ears
find my shad by the moonlight
when my thoughts aren't so clear
demons dreamin
breathe in breathe in
I'm comin back again

CHORUS

Bridge

CHORUS

"Black Balloon"

baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
and you're not thinkin about tomorrow
cuz you wre the same as me
but on your knees

a thousand other boys could never reach you
how could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
and scatter like ice from the spoon
that was your womb

CHORUS
comin down the world turned over
and angels fall without a there
and I go on as you get colder
or are you someone's prayer

you kow the lies they always told you
and the love you never knew
what's the things they never showed you
that swallowed the light from the sun
inside your room

CHORUS

and there's no time left for losin
when you stand they fall

CHORUS

all beacause I'm
coming down the years turn over
and angels fall without you there
and I'll go on to bring you hom
all because I'm
what you became to me

"Broadway"

CHORUS
broadway is dark tonight
a little bit weaker than you used to be
broadway is dark tonight
see the young man sitting
in old man's bar
waiting for his turn to die

the cowboy kills the rock star
and friday night's gone too far
the dim light hides the years
on all the faded girls
forgotten but not gone
your drink it off your mind
you talk about the world
like it's someplace that you've been

you see you'd love to run home
but you know you ain't got one
and you're livin in a world
that you're best forgotten around here

CHROUS

you choke down all your anger
forget your only son
you pray to statues when you sober up for fun
your anger don't impress me
it always rains like hell on the losers day parade

you see you'd love to run home
but you know you ain't got one
and you're livin in a world
that you're best forgotten around here
and when you're thinkin you're a joke
and nobody's gonna listen to the one small point
I know they been missin round here

CHORUS

you see you'd love to run home
but you know you ain't got one
and you're livin in a world
that you're best forgotten around here
and when you're thinkin you're a joke
and nobody's gonna listen to the one small point
I know they been missin round here

CHORUS

"Dizzy"

you're cynical and beautiful
you always make a scene
you're monochrome delirious
you're nothing that you seem
I'm drowning in your vanity
your laugh is a disease
you're dirty and you're sweet
you know you're everything I need

CHORUS
everything you are
falls from teh sky like a star
everything you are
whatever ever you want

I wanna kick at the machine
that made you piss away your dreams
and tear at your defenses
till there's nothing there but me
you're angry when you're beautiful
your love is such a tease
I'm drowning in your dizzy noise
I wanna feel you scream

CHORUS

"Iris"

and I'd give up forever to touch you
cuz I know that you feel me somehow
you're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
and I don't wanna go home right now
and I can taste is this moment
and all I can breathe in your life
and sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

CHORUS
and I don't want the world to see me
cuz I don't think that they'd understnad
when everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

and you can't fight the tears that ain't comin
or the moment of truth in your lies
when everything feels like teh moies
and you bleed just to know you're alive

CHORUS

"Slide"

could you whisper in my ear
the things you wanna feel
I'll give you anything
to feel it comin
do you wake on your own
and wonder where you are
you live with all your faults

CHORUS
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
so why don't you slide

don't you love the life you killed
the priest is on the phone
your father hit the wall
your ma disowned you
don't suppose I'll ever know
what it means to be a man
something I can't change
I'll live around it

CHORUS

and I'll do anything you ever
dreamed to be complete
little pieces of the nothing that fall
may put your arms around me
what you feel is what you are
and what you are is beautiful
may do you wanna get married
or run away

CHORUS

Good Charlotte

"Festival Song"

I don't care about a thing today I used to but I'm fed up
and I can hear the words you say I wish that you would shut up

I've got responsibility that is my liability
a menace to society at least that's what they say to me

CHORUS
but tonight tonight it's all tonight
I don't want your boring life
and I don't want your 9 to 5
or anyone to tell me how to live my life

people always tell me not to waste my time
to get a real job and get back in line
you can say I'll never be a millionaire
tell me this guitar won't get me anywhere

I've got responsibility that is my liability
I'm questioning authority
they say there's not a chance for me

CHORUS

your future's no future your future's no future
your future's no future I control my future

CHORUS

i'm leaving
i'm leaving
i'm leaving
i'm leaving tonight

"Little Things"

yeah, this song is dedicated
to every kid who ever got picked last in gym class
to every kid who never had a date to no school dance
to everyone whose ever been called a freak
this is for you
here we here we go

here we go
like the time in school when we got free lunch
and the cool kids beat us up [reduced lunch]
and the rich kids had convertibles
and we had to ride the bus [fifty-five]
like the time we made the baseball team
but they still laughed at us [you still suck]
like the time that girl broke up with me
cause i wasn't cool enough [trick]

things things
here we go

CHORUS
the little things little things they always hang around
the little things little things they try to break me down
the little things little things they just won't go away
the little things little things made me who i am today

you wanna hate me now
but I wont stop
now cuz I can't stop now

like the time mom went to that institute
cuz she was breakin down [I just cant take it]
like the car we had that wouldn't start
we had to walk to get around [can I get a ride]
and that same year on christmas eve
dad went to the store [uhhh... see you kids later]
we checked his room his things were gone
we didn't see him no more [dick]

things things
here we go

CHORUS

you wanna hate me now
but I wont stop now
cuz I can't stop now

CHORUS

and it always seem those little things they
take the biggest parts of me [ohhh...]
breakdown [ohhh...]
i'm breaking down
i'm breaking down

"Motivation Proclomation"

spend your lazy endless crazy days inside my head
you're so selfish you're not the only one who think he's dead
I'm paid to smile now I'm on trial for what you think I said

but I never said that everything would be ok
and I never said that we would live to see another day

CHORUS
motivate me
I wanna get myself out of this bed
captivate me
I want good thoughts inside of my head
if I fall down would you come around in pick me right up off the ground
if I fall down would you come around in pick me right up off the ground

I'm unartistic unrealistic you say I'm selfish and absurd
you try to change me you try to gave you say I'm gonna learn
I'm so blind I'm out of time you're so unkind sometimes
I never lied I never lied I never lied

cuz I never said that everything would be ok
and I never said that we would live to see another day

CHORUS

Green Day

"Minority"

CHORUS
I want to be the minority
I dont need you authority
Down with the moral majority
cuz I want to be the minority

I pledge allegiance to the underworld
one nation under dog
there of which I stand alone
a face in the crowd
unsung against the mold
without a doubt
singled out
the only way I know

CHORUS

stepped out of the line
like a sheep runs from the heard
marching out of time
to my own beat now
the only way I know

one light one mind
flashing in the dark
blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
for crying out loud she screamed unto me
a free for all
fuck em all
you are you own sight

CHORUS

"Waiting"

Ive been waiting a long time
for this moment to come
Im destined
for anything at all
downtown lights will be shining
on me like a new diamond
ring out under the midnight hour
no one can touch me now
and I cant turn my back
its too late ready or not at all

CHORUS
Im so much closer than
I have ever known
wake up

dawning of a new era
calling dont let it catch you falling
ready or not at all
so close enough to taste it
almost I can embrace this
feeling on the tip of my tongue

CHORUS

better thank you lucky stars

Ive been waiting a lifetime
for this moment to come
Im destined for anything at all

dumbstruck
colour me stupid
good luck
youre gonna need it
where Im going if I get there
at all

wake upbetter thank your lucky stars

"Warning"

this is a public service announcement
this is only a test
emergency evacuation protest

get you philosophy from a bumper sticker

CHORUS
warning live without border
warning live without border

better homes and safety-sealed communities

sanitation expiration date question everything
or shut up and be the victim of authority

my name's forgotten

CHORUS

when I wake up in my makeup
it's too early for that dress
wilted and faded somewhere in Hollywood
I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh
no second billing cuz you're a star now
oh cinderella they aren't sluts like you
beautiful garbage beautiful dresses
can you stand up or will you just fall down

you better watch out
for what you wish for
it better be worth it
so much to die for

CHORUS

when I wake up in my makeup
have you ever felt so used up as this
it's all so sugarless
hooker waitress
model actress
oh just go nameless
honeysuckle she's full of poison

I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh

you want a part of me
well I'm not selling cheap
no I'm not selling cheap

"Malibu"

CHORUS

CHORUS

and the sun goes down
I watch you slip away
and the sun goes down
I walk into the waves
and the sun goes down
I watch you slip away
and I walk
and I knew love would tear you apart
oh and I knew the darkest secret of your heart

CHORUS

oceans of angels
oceans of stars
down by the sea is where you drown your scars

I can't be near you
the light just radiates
I can't be near you
the light just radiates

Incubus

"Crowded Elevator"

fifteen minutes to six
and fourteen floors to go
thirteen suited strangers
makes a crowded elevator slow
and I've got a
million words and phrases
on the tip of my tongue
for the only non-stranger
next to me
soon she'll know
know know
so let 'em stare

CHORUS

if I could think of
what you'll be
and let you in
on how I feel
I need to spill
let all of it
out right now
and expose every inch
in front of them

twelve more floors
your eyes and mine
are all I need
to come clean
should I wait for
the lobby spare the lives
of some twenty-six
nervous eyes
being occupied by
little red numbers passing by
if I wait one minute longer
I think I will diediedie
so let 'em stare

CHORUS

you've helped me
to feel see and know
all the while
I've been so inquisitive
I can't go back
cuz now I know
how it feels to
open up and breathe
can't go back
cuz now I know

CHROUS

"Drive"

sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
and I cant help but ask myself
how Ill let the fear take the wheel and steer
its driven me before and it seems
to have a vague haunting mass appeal
but lately Im beginning to find
I should be the one behind the wheel

CHORUS
whatever tomorrow bring Ill be there
with open arms and open eyes yeah
whatever tomorrow brings Ill be there
Ill be there

so if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
will I choose water over wine
and hold my own and drive
its driven me before
and it seems to be the way
that everyone else gets around
lately Im beginning to find
that when I drive myself my light is found

CHORUS

would you choose water over wine
hold the wheel and drive

CHORUS

"New Skin"

at first I see an open wound
infected and disatrous
it breathes chaotic catastrophe
it cries to be renewed
please renew it
tears are the color of anger
they dry to form a scab
to the touch it's stiff and resillient
underneath the new skin breathes

CHORUS
it's all been saved
with the exception for the right parts
when will we be new skin

as outwardly cliche as it may seem
yes somethin under the surface says c'est la vie
there is a circle it is a plan
dead skin will atrophy itself to start again
look closely at the open wound
see past what covers the surface
underneath chaotic catastrophe
creation takes the stage

dead skin will atrophy itself to start again

CHORUS

it's all been seen
for the exception for what could be
when will we be new skin

fallitious cognitions
spewed from television
do mold our decisions
so stop and take a look
and you'll see what I see now

CHORUS

it's all been seen
for the exception for what could be
when will we be new skin

"Pardon Me"

pardon me while I burst
pardon me while I burst

a decade ago I never thought I would be
at 23 on the verge of spontaneous combustion woe is me
but I guess that it comes with the territory
anonymous 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
pardon me while I burst into flames
Ive had enough of the world
and its peoples mindless games

CHORUS
so pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
pardon me pardon me
Ill never be the same

not two days ago I having a look in a book
and I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
I said I can relate
cuz lately Ive 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
but thinking so much differently

CHORUS

"Stellar"

meet me in outer space
we could spend the night
watch the earth come up
Ive grown tired of that place
wont you come with me
we could start again

CHORUS
how do you do it
make me feel like I do
how do you do it
its better than I ever knew

meet me in outer space
I will hold you close
if youre afraid of heights
I need you to see this place
it might be the only way
that I can show you how
it feels to be inside you

CHORUS

stellar
stellar
