"...So you call this your free country Tell me why it costs so much to live..."

"...addiction needs a passive fighter..."

"... This world can turn me down but I won’t turn away And I won’t duck and run, cause I’m not built that way When everything is gone there is nothing there to fear This world cannot bring me down No cause I’m already here...I must have told you a thousand Times I am not running away..."


Alice In Chains

"...It's okay Had a bad day Hands are bruised from Breaking rocks all day Drained and blue I bleed for you You think it's funny, well You're drowning in it too Yeah, it's fine Walk down the line Leave our rain, a cold Trade for warm sunshine You my friend I will defend And if we change, well I Love you anyway..."


Alkaline Trio

"I gave up on you a long time ago How can you blame me? We made plans to meet and you never showed You kept me waiting They said everything would work out just fine They said you'd help me But as it turns out it was all a lie And they're off someplace far away laughing at me You've been there for me one time in my life But it didn't matter You came and went so fast all my hope And faith in you shattered And now here I sit alone in this room No one to confide in You watched all my dreams come apart at the seams You laughed, you left, you went into hiding Bless me dark father I have sinned I've done it before and I'll do it again Cuz it keeps me warm, and makes you smile Been beneath me all the while Hell yes You gave up on me along time ago I can't say I blame you I rejected the faith in your holy race Is what it comes down to They said everything would work out just fine I just went crazy But I'm better now having a good time Being selfish, and drunken, and vulgar, and lazy Bless me dark father I have sinned I've done it before and I'll do it again Cuz it keeps me warm, and makes you smile Been beneath me all the while Bless me dark father I can't win Without you I'm as good as dead Cuz you keep me warm, you make me smile You've been on my shoulder all the while Whispering sweet nothings Whispering sweet nothings Whispering sweet nothings You've been whispering sweet nothings"

"I guess I'll always stop and see you And we'll run into each other's lives Yeah, I guess, although it tears me up inside Everytime it burns my eyes with tears But I know you're worth the pain I've so much more to gain by waiting for you You're going away but you're not going far So if he decides to leave you alone and crying You know I'm still here, the faithful one Waiting for a message from Kathlene Then I'll come.. faster Than I ever thought that I could run Cause I.. I need you more than I ever thought That I could need someone Someone Someone Someone else I know I will always stop and see you And we'll run into each other's fucked up lives Yeah, I guess, although it tears me up inside Everytime it burns my eyes with tears But your waking up is the start of my lost cause And then you decide to leave me alone and crying But you know I'm still here, the faithful one Waiting for a message from Kathlene Then I'll come.. faster Than I ever thought that I could run Cause I.. I need you more than I ever thought That I could need someone Someone Someone Someone else"

"...I lied my face off when I said that I would be okay It's never fine when you go away These cuts run deep, these scars are permanent..."

"...I wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time..."

"...if it was up to me, I'd never have to miss you..."

"...But at the right place at the right time...I won't have to quit doing fucked up shit For anyone but me..."*

"...I wanna wake up naked next to you, kissing the curve in your clavicle..."

"shaking like a dog shitting razorblades, waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you, I'm waking up all alone."

"let's walk home, let's be afraid, I wanna grab you by the arms and kiss you so hard"

"I heard everybody's voice cut out when you spoke, I watched all the lights go dim when your eyes opened"

"...You've been there for me one time in my life But it didn't matter You came and went so fast all my hope And faith in you shattered And now here I sit alone in this room No one to confide in You watched all my dreams come apart at the seams You laughed, you left, you went into hiding You gave up on me along time ago I can't say I blame you I rejected the faith in your holy race Is what it comes down to They said everything would work out just fine, I just went crazy But I'm better now having a good time Being selfish, and drunken, and vulgar, and lazy..."

"...But at the right place at the right time...I won't have to quit doing fucked up shit For anyone but me..."

"...while you're waiting, be thankful for your fingers..."


Tori Amos

"...You're only popular with anorexea, so I turned myself inside out in hopes someone would see..."

"You said you wanted safer ground but you got caught up in the river I was there to save you boy but you'd rather Drown you said you were unhappy but that was alright better than not knowin' what's on the other side and you know I was always there for you and you know I always believed in you I guess that wasn't enough on the boundary on the boundary baby on the boundary don't you need my love you won't even let me keep from fallin' from the boundary that divides our love I gave you a kingdom that you could be Lord in and we both know you loved the taste of my world but you ran back to your corner where you trip over your lines look left, look right, no room to hide I guess that wasn't enough I guess I wasn't enough"

"If you don't treat me better baby I'll just run away baby I don't know what drives you to play all these silly games C'mon baby I'm much stronger than you know sometimes I'm not afraid to let it show, when will you wake up I want you more than the stars and the sun but I can take only so much cool on your island... I gotta brand new dress babe could it make you wanna try I guess I didn't want to notice the stars gone from your eyes... if you don't treat me better...one day you'll wake up cold then you'll know you'll know you'll know you love me"

"...I never left you for a banjo. I only just turned around for a poodle and a corvette..."

"...in the 7th grade, running after Billy, running after the rain...He said you're really an ugly girl, but I like the way you play and I died, but I thanked him, can you believe that? Sick, holding on to his picture, dressing up everyday. I want to smash the faces of those beautiful boys, those christian boys, so you can make me cum, that doesn't make you Jesus...no one cared, no one dared to tell me where the pretty girls are, those demigods with their nine inch nails and little fascist panties tucked inside the heart of every nice girl..."

"...I could just pretend that you love me...but why do I need you to love me, when you don't hold what I hold dear..."

"...Will you ever learn? You're just an empty cage, girl, if you kill the bird..."

"...The sexiest thing is trust..."

"every finger in the room is pointing at me i wanna spit in their faces then i get afraid what that could bring i got a bowling ball in my stomach i got a desert in my mouth figures that my COURAGE would choose to sell out now i've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets i've been raising up my hands drive another nail in just what GOD needs one more victim why do we crucify ourselves every day i crucify myself nothing i do is good enough for you crucify myself every day i crucify myself and my HEART is sick of being in chains got a kick for a dog beggin' for LOVE i gotta have my suffering so that i can have my cross i know a cat named easter he says will you ever learn you're just an empty cage girl if you kill the bird i've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets i've been raising up my hands drive another nail in got enough GUILT to start my own religion why do we crucify ourselves every day i crucify myself nothing i do is good enough for you crucify myself every day i crucify myself and my HEART is sick of being in chains please be save me i CRY looking for a savior in these dirty streets looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets i've been raising up my hands drive another nail in where are those angels when you need them why do we crucify ourselves every day i crucify myself nothing i do is good enough for you crucify myself every day i crucify myself and my HEART is sick of being in chains why do we crucify ourselves everyday never going back again crucify myself again you know never going back again to crucify myself everyday"

"...cowboys know that cowgirls ride on the Indian side..."

"...Jody never sleeps cuz there are always needles in the hay..."

"...If you want to get inside her, well, boy you better make her raspberry swirl. Things are gonna get desperate when all the boys can't be men. Everybody knows I'm her friend, everybody knows I'm her man..."


Joseph Arthur

"...Until you know where you belong, You'll dream of what you never had..."

"...Both of us know how to run more than follow through..."

"...sometimes love isn't stronger than wine..."

"Until we feed the starving, blood is on all of our hands Babylon is burning and there is no promised land Until we clothe the naked all of us are damned Dreams are just for savages calling themselves men And in time fire will rain down on our head The sky will open up and life will be bled. We are all the same spirit, we are all the same love And still somehow we've chosen to slaughter the white dove There is only one energy just different sets of clothes For human beings to dress up in and protect what no one knows So in time fire will rain down on our head The sky will open up and life will be bled. All of us will fall into the same hole And all will reunite into the same soul The death that we allow is the death that is our own The murders we commit are committed in our home So in time fire will rain down on our head The sky will open up and life will be bled. Murdered by indifference, murdered by our greed Murdered by our riches taken from the ones in need Murdered in our churches and murdered by belief We who just do nothing shall be murdered in our sleep In time fire will rain down on our head The sky will open up and life will be bled. Truth is just a word said to the ones who plead What will we get back when we plant a poison seed? Consumed by our consumption that can never be enough The hungry are attacking, they are swallowing our bluff And in time fire will rain down on our head The sky will open up and life wil be bled. The victims are now victimizing, the world is inside out Everyone is terrified the faithful are in doubt Religion is a gimmick we want back the god they stole But everyone is fighting to go deeper in the hole Some believe salvation comes when the world is gone But we have been forsaken, there is nowhere we belong So in time fire will rain down on our head The sky will open up and life wil be bled."

"I couldn't make it up as we go along I don't have any words to put into your song Looking through the junkyard of your heart I need to find an engine for my car I don't know where you are I don't know where you are When I drive, when I drive around the bend Singing bye, bye, bye, bye And though I really tried I never have been good And for my missing heart I carved one out of wood Now I see the termites crawling in on me And after they are finished I wonder where you'll be I wonder where you'll be I wonder where you'll be When I drive, when I drive around the bend Singing bye, bye, bye, bye You never have been young you never have been sane And though you say that you don't care In your eyes I see the shame Looking through the window of your mind I see a lonely shadow running out of time Running out time, running out of time When I drive, when I drive around the bend Singing bye, bye, bye, bye"

"I miss the days when you were in my world It seems like it was a lifetime ago We said our goodbye with tears And promised to not let the years get away But that's something you just have to say In my pain Is where I've tattooed your name Was it a dream Was it a dream Going round and round and round and round your heart Jeremy said he saw you out on second Ave And you looked like you could use some sleep You told him you sobered up But now you are giving that up 'Cause sometimes Love isn't stronger than wine In my pain Is where i've tattooed your name Was it a dream Was it a dream Going round and round and round and round my heart I wonder What you must think about me What I heard Is you consider me dead I guess that's fair of you I never was good to you I'm ashamed For making you feel all my pain When i sleep Sometimes i still think we speak Is it a dream Is it a dream Going round and round and round and round my heart"

"...I wish you were someone I knew nothing about..."

"...you're easy for me to bleed on..."

"...And all that you've been using, To get you through, Soon you'll see, That it was using you..."

"Please don't think I'm devious It's not that obvious In fact it's more of a mess You're what I find most beautiful But you're also what makes me the ugliest So i'm taking away all of the love I ever gave to you I think you should've known It was only ever on a loan And i'm running away I found myself a hiding place I've been uncomfortable looking in your eyes They always see right through my face"

"you got two eyes that you always shade Chaos and beauty Trying to stay together on a razor blade Always trying to prove you're being saved When they ask you what's your church You say I dance When they say whatever happened to you You say I never had a chance I'm an open book Come in take a look at me I'm a boat that won't float Out at sea"

"You're the shaded sun You're daddy's broken gun You're the loneliest moon You are a butterfly dreaming about your cocoon You're the only sound when I am blind So I label you mine You're the house you grew up in You're always just arriving at your end You're your mama's shit eatin' grin and your daddy's double chin You're the first pair of shoes you ever went to school in And you're the kid pretending she's in prison Behind the bars of a jungle gym Someone's gonna give you wings And you'll think it's what you need And you'll fly You'll be so high But you're history acts as your gravity Your history acts as your gravity Acts as your history acts as your gravity You're the only one you ever believe in You're the solution and you are the problem You're a rapist and your only victim You are fact and you are fiction You're the only one you've considered a friend And now you're alive Waiting for your life to begin Again You try to find you, you who is lost But your hooked to the rush of approaching chaos You're king for a minute but a fool for an hour Alone in your room You are a closed flower Dreams of your shadow you're going to destroy The way you handle yourself Like an unbreakable toy"

"I got a god in my head Tells me that I'm crazy Got a god in my head Saying that I'm crazy An angry little god punching on my skull Another little god Tells me that I'm lazy A useless piece of shit with no love to give at all now And the smallest god there Thinks that I'm the greatest"

"I feel like taking a razor blade And on my wrist Write an invitation I feel like taking a loaded gun And in my mouth Blowing up the ocean"

"I have damned myself again I have eaten all my children, I have tightened up my skin I'm a walking crucifixion, I'm a fucked-up memory Consuming all that's left, I'm my mother's misery"

"...I don't need your permission to pray for you..."


The Ataris

"I'm really fucking sick Of Beck and 311, And Marilyn Manson, I wish someone would break his fucking neck. And what about Bush And lame-ass Oasis? Hey, talk about pretentious, why don't they just blow England off the map? Every now and then I turn it on again But it's plain to see that The radio still sucks. Every now and then I turn it on again But it's plain to see that The radio still sucks."

"She said 'You're always broke' I said 'Well duh, I know' She said 'I guess I'd better go' I've got empty pockets and an empty head the empty feeling of an empty bed I guess our relationship is dead Now I'm on my own and I'm living all alone Now I'm truly broke I'm as broke as I can be...

But I drove home all alone As if I had a choice, anyway Where are you coming from? What are you running from? Is it so hard to see? And if you're feeling scared Remember the time we shared You know it meant everything You know that it meant everything to me You know that it meant everything to me."

Ryan Cabrera

"Sick and tired of this world There's no more air Tripping over myself, going nowhere Waiting, suffocating, no direction I took a dive and On the way down I saw you, and you saved me from myself And I won't forget the way you loved me And on the way down I almost fell right through But I held on to you Been wondering why it's only me Have you always been inside waiting to breathe It's alright, sunlight on my face I wake up and yet I'm alive 'cuz On the way down I saw you, and you saved me from myself And I won't forget the way you loved me And on the way down I almost fell right through But I held on to you I was so afraid of going under But now, the weight of the world Feels like nothing, nothing (down, down, down) You're all I wanted (down, down, down) You're all I needed (down, down, down) You're all I wanted You're all I needed And I won't forget the way you loved me All that I wanted, all that I needed and now On the way down I saw you, and you saved me from myself And I won't forget the way you loved me And on the way down I almost fell right through But I held on to you"


Nick Cave

"The wintergreen, the juniper The cornflower and the chicory All the words you said to me Still vibrating in the air The elm, the ash and the linden tree The dark and deep, enchanted sea The trembling moon and the stars unfurled There she goes, my beautiful world There she goes, my beautiful world There she goes, my beautiful world There she goes, my beautiful world There she goes again John Wilmot penned his poetry riddled with the pox Nabokov wrote on index cards, at a lectern, in his socks St. John of the Cross did his best stuff imprisoned in a box And Johnny Thunders was half alive when he wrote Chinese Rocks Well, me, I'm lying here, with nothing in my ears Me, I'm lying here, with nothing in my ears Me, I'm lying here, for what seems years I'm just lying on my bed with nothing in my head Send that stuff on down to me Send that stuff on down to me Send that stuff on down to me Send that stuff on down to me There she goes, my beautiful world There she goes, my beautiful world There she goes, my beautiful world There she goes again Karl Marx squeezed his carbuncles while writing Das Kapital And Gaugin, he buggered off, man, and went all tropical While Philip Larkin stuck it out in a library in Hull And Dylan Thomas died drunk in St. Vincent's hospital I will kneel at your feet I will lie at your door I will rock you to sleep I will roll on the floor And I'll ask for nothing Nothing in this life I'll ask for nothing Give me ever-lasting life I just want to move the world I just want to move the world I just want to move the world I just want to move There she goes, my beautiful world There she goes, my beautiful world There she goes, my beautiful world There she goes again So if you got a trumpet, get on your feet, brother, and blow it If you've got a field, that don't yield, well get up and hoe it I look at you and you look at me and deep in our hearts know it That you weren't much of a muse, but then I weren't much of a poet I will be your slave I will peel you grapes Up on your pedestal With your ivory and apes With your book of ideas With your alchemy O Come on Send that stuff on down to me Send that stuff on down to me Send that stuff on down to me Send that stuff on down to me Send that stuff on down to me Send it all around the world Cause here she comes, my beautiful girl There she goes, my beautiful world There she goes, my beautiful world There she goes, my beautiful world There she goes again"

Clem Snide

"She asked him Why can we not be together? Why is it we have to part? Why did you leave with a stranger? When I am revealing my heart? Because I love the unknown I love the unknown He says he loves the unknown Because I love the unknown I love the unknown He says he loves the unknown They asked him Hey, where’s this bus going? And he said well, I’m really not sure Well then how will you know where to get off? And he said the place with the most allure Because I love the unknown I love the unknown He said he loves the unknown Cause I love the unknown Cause I love the unknown He said he loves the unknown And then his father got him a job And it paid well But every day it felt the same Well his father was really heartbroken When he quit and changed his last name Because I love the unknown I love the unknown He said he loves the unknown Because I love the unknown Cause I love the unknown He said he loves the unknown The doctor asked him what he was afraid of Just what was he running from? And he said it’s not a fear of success nor of closeness But of going through life feeling numb That’s why I love the unknown I love the unknown He said he loves the unknown That’s why I love the unknown I love the unknown He said he loves the unknown"

"you tell me you're different you tell me you're strange you tell me that there is something wrong with your brain so your mother found god and your dad likes to drink but you're not as weird as you'd like me to think. you painted your sneakers you talk to yourself you won't eat with me cuz you care for your health well you wrote me a poem and it didn't rhyme and you're not as weird as you act all the time no, you're not as weird as you act all the time you tell me you're different you tell me you're strange you tell me that there is something wrong with your brain so what if your mother found god and your dad likes to drink you're not as weird as you'd like me to think no, you're not as weird as you'd like me to think no, you're not as weird as you'd like me to think, hey."

"...you're everything I want to do, cuz when there's love, there's action..."

"...I'll bring nothing to eat, but I can tickle your feet 'til you smile..."


Counting Crows

"My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing." I am not worried I am not overly concerned My friend implores me, "For one time only, make an exception." I am not worried Wrap her up in a package of lies Send her off to a coconut island I am not worried I am not overly concerned with the status of my emotions "Oh," she says, "you're changing." But we're always changing It does not bother me to say this isn't love Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love And I guess I'm going to have to live with that But I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey, Or something in between, And I can always change my name If that's what you mean My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing." But I am not really worried I am not overly concerned You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself To make yourself forget, to make yourself forget I am not worried "If it's love," she said, "then we're going to have to think about the consequences." She can't stop shaking and I can't stop touching her and... This time when kindness falls like rain It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind "These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days" she says And I'm not ready for this sort of thing But I'm not going to break and I'm not going to worry about it anymore I'm not going to bend, and I'm not going to break and I'm not going to worry about it anymore No no no no...it seems like I should say, "As long as this is love..." But it's not all that easy so maybe I should Snap her up in a butterfly net Pin her down on a photograph album I am not worried I've done this sort of thing before But then I start to think about the consequences Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and... This time when kindness falls like rain It washes me away and Anna begins to change my mind And everytime she sneezes I believe it's love and Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing (rain falls down...) She's talking in her sleep It's keeping me awake and Anna begins to toss and turn And every word is nonsense but I understand and Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing Her kindness bangs a gong It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away It's chasing me away She disappears and Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing"

"...Curiosity, Kitten, Doesn't have to mean you're on your own You can look outside your window He doesn't have to know We can talk awhile, baby We can take it nice and slow All your life is such a shame, shame, shame All your love is just a dream, dream, dream Are you happy when you're sleeping? Does he keep you safe and warm? Does he tell you when you're sorry? Does he tell you when you're wrong? I've been watching you for hours It's been years since we were born We were perfect when we started I've been wondering where we've gone..."

"...She says, 'It’s only in my head' She says, 'Shhh...I know it’s only in my head' But the girl in the car in the parking lot says: 'Man, you should try to take a shot Can’t you see my walls are crumbling?' she looks up at the building and says she’s thinking of jumping She says she’s tired of life she must be tired of something..."

"...Believe in me Help me believe in anything I want to be someone who believes? Believe in me, because I don't believe in anything And I want to be someone to believe..."

Crossed Out Heirs

"She's leaving her home again she's never gonna look back she's telling her friends good bye They say they're gonna miss her Now she wants to know is everything gonna be alright standing there alone underneath a broken street light she's watching the world go by she thinks she's gonna miss out she leaving this world for a while Her friends are on the look-out Now she wants to know is everything gonna be alright standing there alone underneath a broken street light she's watching the world go by she thinks she's gonna miss out she leaving this world for a while Her friends are on the look-out Now she wants to know is everything gonna be alright standing there alone underneath a broken street light"

“Something held me back that night, but who listens to that little voice anyway? You said you saw the world in me and I the same in you. So we drove the road that could only dream, and saw the beauty that was never there. I wanted, I wanted, I wanted to stay forever...put our eggs in one basket...and when we got there, the lights were out, and so they were in your eyes. You’ll never look at me the same again. We turned our backs on ourselves. Put our eggs in one basket...And you said it was a waste of time, but it was worth every minute. You might say it was a waste of time, but it was worth every minute. I remember those days when we would both get excited. You might say it was a waste of time, but it was worth every minute. Put our eggs in one basket...”

Dido

"My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain I missed the bus and there'll be hell to pay, I'm late for work again And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day And then you call me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad and I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue Because you're near me and I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life."


Ani DiFranco

"...I am not a pretty girl that is not what I do I ain't no damsel in distress and I don't need to be rescued so put me down punk maybe you'd prefer a maiden fair isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere I am not an angry girl but it seems like I've got everyone fooled every time I say something they find hard to hear they chalk it up to my anger and never to their own fear and imagine you're a girl just trying to finally come clean knowing full well they'd prefer you were dirty and smiling..."
