Rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of always talking when there's no change
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow

Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel

Greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands
They've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance

"My compass spins. The wilderness remains."
"And don't go blaming your knowledge on some fruit you ate."
"Onto a stage I was pushed with my sorrow well rehearsed. So give me all your pity and your money now."
"You say that I treat you like a book on a shelf. I don't take you out that often because I know that I've completed you."
"Then we would stand staring in awe at our still lives posed like a bowl of oranges, like a story told by the fault lines and the soil."
"If I could just speak up, I think I would say that there is no truth. There is only you and what you make the truth."
"The grass grew high. I laid down."
"The refrigerator's whining so I've got reason to complain."
"It was in a foreign hotel's bathtub I baptized myself in change. And one by one I drowned all of the people I had been. I emerged the find the parallels were fewer. I was cleansed."
"They give us fact or fiction? I guess an even split."

I'm through choking and suffocating
on alter egos and alter motives
which weigh you down and take control of
the way you are and the things that you need
the life you live and the dreams that you dream
distort and blur all in slow motion
they broke you down and now you're broken
and it's sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw but with out the beauty
so I stopped watching, I stopped caring
I lost all interest and I stopped wearing
these plastic smiles I'll wash my hands clean
I'll forget that you forgot about me
and I'll live the life, the big city feeling
cause it's better than suburban dreaming
Living off the friends that hate you
who talk shit on me
like I don't know who my real friends are
anymore no I don't know you anymore
and it's sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw but without the beauty
so I stopped watching, I stopped caring

-Long Goodnight by the Get Up Kids

As I'm about to leave
I've filled a million empty pages
Passed my word and done my best sing

And I'll live my life of dreams and be greatful I'm around.
-I Survived by the Graduate

And your love will be warm nights
With pockets of moonlight
Spotlighting you as you drift

And you walk across the stage

The best that you knew how
And you can hear them cheering now
So let a smile out and show your teeth
Cause you know you lived it well.

i couldn't believe my eyes when i woke up this morning
i looked at the sidewalk and there was a million people dressed the same
who answered their cell phones at the same time
and all popped a pill for the same disorder

we're so far gone
don't you see that we're so far gone
***
There's a girl at the corner store who says that her life is such a bore.
"I need more money and I'll be complete"
Now she's selling her body.
Baby doll well now can't you see that all the best things in life are free?
You don't need to be a millionaire to be happy,
And we're all getting older.
***
Baby, you know if you’re not beautiful
Just cover it up
With make-up kits and perforated scalpel seams
We’ll do you right up
I’m so obsessed with looking like celebrities
Make myself throw up
But it’s all right cause one day
I know I’ll be fine like everyone else

You looked cold still, your color was high

But it isn't a very easy thing now, is it
To do? " - amy in the white coat

Now, you're automatically cool in my book.

[when_katysparks]

Calm me and let me taste
The salt you breathed
While you were underneath.
I am the one who haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk below the sea.
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.

[mikebup777]

i know this is long, but i crank the volume every time it gets to this part:

" So let me drown so I can breathe again
I'm through choking and suffocating
on alter egos and alter motives
which weigh you down and take control of
the way you are and the things that you need
the life you live and the dreams that you dream
distort and blur all in slow motion
they broke you down and now you're broken
and it's sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw but with out the beauty
so I stopped watching, I stopped caring
I lost all interest and I stopped wearing
these plastic smiles I'll wash my hands clean
I'll forget that you forgot about me
and I'll live the life, the big city feeling
cause it's better than suburban dreaming
Living off the friends that hate you
who talk shit on me
like I don't know who my real friends are
anymore no I don't know you anymore
and it's sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw but without the beauty
so I stopped watching, I stopped caring
SPILL THE INK AND SPILL YOUR GUTS AGAIN!"

-Hidden in Plain View, "Garden Statement"

Jesus Christ I’m not scared to die

Brand New - Jesus

Proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner I’ve become
You’re free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my guitar, yeah
Well let me tell you this, I am shamelessly self-involved
I spend hours in front of the mirror, making my hair elegantly disheveled
I worry about how this album will sell
Because I believe that it will determine the amount of sex I will have in the future
I self medicate with drugs and alcohol to treat my extreme social anxiety
You are a faker (admit it)
You are a fraud (admit it)
Yeah, you’re living a lie (yeah) living a lie (yeah) you’re life is living a lie
You don’t impress me (admit it)
You don’t intimidate me (admit it)

"it's not your fault that i managed to see how you fell, but you landed so gracefully. half the time when we're standing so still, i don't want you to catch me, but i know that you will. have you heard the story of my two best friends? one was me and the other was all my things, and in the house where i used to be from, i am nothing, and nothing is number one. take your turn at the end of the line, finally first, but i'm waiting for some friends of mine. and how's that song go about who you are, and how everything's changed, but i haven't changed so far."
- "you landed so gracefully", up up down down left right left right b a start

"i know it's been a while since we've had a talk, a man-to-man, a heart-to-heart. i would call you on the telephone, just to say 'hi', you weren't dead. but you are, so i can't, so i don't. i'd say a little prayer, but i won't. just know that it's not your fault, and i ruined everything. since you've been away, i haven't had much to say, but i need to know - are you still proud of me?"
- "augie doggy", small arms dealer

"whatever it is you think you are, you aren't. a good friend, unique, well read, good looking, or smart. but now you know. well, i hate to be the one to bear such bad news. i know it hurts to hear, but it's true. you don't mean anything to anyone but me. and even i think that you're blinded by conceit. so, now you know, the free beer and basement shows don't mean you've made it. it's what you do, not who you were, or what you wear, or where you've been. so, do something."
- "bad news", owen

"then she said, 'hey boy, i see you're in need. i've got my own place now, there's no one here but me. do you wanna come inside now? out from the cold. we could sit by the fire, get you out of these wet clothes.' you see, that's not my style. it's hard to believe. you came in here walking. you left on your knees."
- "this is the time", the stryder

"See the steam in the distant hills,
See the rooftops glitter in the sun,

And we're on their hearts and minds, a million heads are bowed to bring us safely home.
Hemmed in by emptiness, a million ways that everything could be undone -
This hollow in my chest is filled with reasons not to sing but I found one: I know

We're not alone, we feel an unseen love.
We're sons and heirs of grace,
We are children of a light that never dims,
A love that never dies.
Keep your chin up child and wipe the tears from your eyes."
- Thrice, "Music Box"

Basically a little by my four favorite bands (in no particular order).

"I wanna rob you of your game face
so I can cower beneath your words.
Cause I'm a freak from the same place

Into your heart, I've got the dagger;
the metaphor will suffice for now.
Get in my bed, i wanna kill you;
Show you mine if you show me how.
I get angry,When you're around, when you're around.
I get nasty,When you're around, when you're around"-Metal Now-Say Anything

That small child inside of you that you left bleeding
You stabbed him up not once but twice
Cubicles will now suffice
Some say it's the roll of the dice"

"Every breath that I could barely breathe
Could barely make it past my teeth
I took a blowtorch to both of my lungs a long long time ago
Every step that i could take
Every one more difficult to make

"Despair can ravage you if turn your head around to look down the path that's lead you here, cause what can you change, you're a vessel now floating down the waterway, you can take your rudder, and aim your ship, just don't bother with the things left in your wake."--Saves the Day

I was going to pick this

The worst is over.
The worst is over."

What will happen to a face in the crowd when it finally gets too crowded. And will happen to the origins of sound after all the sounds have sounded Well I hope I never have to see that day but by god I know it's headed our way So I better be happy now that the boy's going home. The boy's gone home.

And what becomes of a day for those who rage against it And who will sum op the phrase for all left standing around in it

Well I suppose we'll all make our judgment call We'll walk it alone, stand up tall, then march to the fall So we better be happy now that we'll all go home.

Be so happy with the way you are Be so happy that you made it this far Go on be happy now. Please be happy now

Because this is something else this is something else

I tried to live my life and live it so well But when it's all over is it heaven or is it hell I better be happy now that no one can tell, nobody knows I'm gonna be happy with the way that I am I'm gonna be happy with all that I stand for I'm gonna be happy now because the boy's going home.

The boy's gone home.

Halfway Home

I used to walk along the opposite side of the road and made others get out of my way
I used to think I could sit and wait for the times
but they wont come until I meet them halfway

I'm halfway home and I'm on my own
I'm halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind
I plan to leave here after supper time
that's when traffic is light, all I need is a sign
and I'll be alright. I'll be fine

I used to think that i could just sleep and then I'd dream
And everything it would come to me
Until I woke one day without anything to eat
Lying on the opposite side of the street

I'm halfway home and I'm still out on my own
I'm halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind
Because it ain't my time to stay or say.
I'll never lay down.

I used to think that I could just sit and wait for the time
But I know I gotta meet them halfway

I'm halfway home I tried home running with the flow
I'm halfway there. Ain't it funny how everybody seems to care
I planned to get there around supper time their serving up bread and wine
All I needed was a sign and I'll be alright.
I'll be fine.

(It seems to be a running theme about being fine and alright but I don't mind.)

Jason Mraz is an awesome lyricists.

[punkfritterx37]

Well you can hide a lot about yourself,
But honey, what're you gonna do?
And you can sleep in a coffin,
But the past ain't through with you.

'Cause we are all a bunch of liars.
Tell me, baby, who do you wanna be?
And we are all about to sell it,
'Cause it's tragic with a capital T.
Let it be, Let it be, Let it be!

'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends.
(Bababa, bababa)
And we all get together when we bury our friends.
(Bababa, bababa)

Sometimes I scrape and sink so low,
I'm shocked at what you're capable of.
And if this is a coronation,
I ain't feeling the love.

'Cause we are all a bunch of animals
That never paid attention in school.
So tell me all about your problems;
I was killing before killing was cool.
You're so cool, You're so cool, So cool!

You'll never take me alive.
You'll never take me alive.
Do what it takes to survive,
'Cause I'm still here.
You'll never get me alive.
You'll never take me alive.
Do what it takes to survive,
And I'm still here.
You'll never take me alive.
You'll never get me alive.
Do what it takes to survive,
And I'm still here.
You'll never get me.
(Still here!)
You'll never take me.
(Still here!)
You'll never get me alive.

You’ve never had a heart of your own
Kill joy bad guy big talking small fry
You’re just an old barrow boy
Have you found a new toy to replace me?
Can you face me?
But now you can kiss my ass goodbye
Feel good are you satisfied?
Do you feel like suicide?

"Death On Two Legs" - Queen

So hum hallelujah
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
But it was just how you looked in the light
A teenage vow in a parking lot
Til tonight do us part
I sing the blues
And swallow them too

"Hum Hallelujah" - Fall Out Boy

I've decomposed, yet my gut's getting fat.
Oh my god I'm turning out like my dad.
I'm always rude I've got a bad attitude.
The world owes me, so fuck you.

My Batteries died sometime ago

I'll write you a song and it won't be hard to sing
It will be a natural anthem, familiar it will seem
It will rally all the workers on strike for better pay
And its chorus will resound and boost morale throughout the day

I'll write you a song and I hope that you won't mind
Because all the names and places I have taken from real life
So please don't be upset at this portrait that I paint
It may be a little biased, but at least I spelled your name right...

and even tho its not a song, a quote by anthony green back when he was in saosin has been changing the way ive thought of things since i saw it:

"Should we still set his plate?
Should we still save his chair?
Should we still buy him gifts?
And if we don't, did we not care?
It makes you think about the life you've led,
Shit you've done, things you've said.
And it's grounding, grounding.

hardly indestructible.
But the snow melts, and the rhythm still goes on."

Yah, i absolutely hate most rap these days, it's just the same old crap. Tupac and biggie were good, but were also 90's rappers with some actual skill in writing lyrics, but todays rappers like T.I., lil wayne, 50 cent, kanye west all suck. One hip hop/rap group i sort of like is Jurassic 5, not great but decent. How much i like them i partially think is effected by me being good friends with one of the members of the group, so don't think i have any say in how good they are or aren't.

Talib Kweli - The Proud:

Today the paper say Timothy McVeigh's in hell
So everything's okay and all must be well
I remember Oklahoma when they put out the blaze
And put Islamic terrorist bombing, on the front page
It's like saying only gays get AIDS, propaganda
Like saying the problem's over when they locked that man up
Wrong! It's just the beginning, the first inning
Battle for America's soul, the devil's winning
The President is Bush, the Vice President's a Dick
So a whole lot of fuckin is what we gon' get
They don't wanna raise the babies so the election is fixed
That's why we don't be fuckin with politics
They bet on that, parents fought and got wet for that
Hosed down, bit by dogs, and got blacks into house arrest for that
It's all good except for that - we still poor
Money, power and respect is what we kill for, for real

"I do not exist," we faithfully insist,
Sailing in our separate ships and from each tiny caravel.
Tiring of trying, there's a unecessary dying,
Like the horseshoe crab in its proper season sheds its shell.
Such distance from our friends,
Like a scratch across the lens,
Made everything look wrong from anywhere we stood.
And our paper blew away before we'd left the bay.
So half-blind, we wrote these songs on sheets of salty wood.

well until rappers play an instrument in thier music or start singing good, I wont have respect for them, what talent is that, all there lyrics sounds like a bunch of 8th grade SLAM poetry

[SickOfStars]

did you know that some rappers create the background music themselves?

also, when they don't, it's a 'DJ.' That's similar to having someone play one instrument (say a guitar) and having someone do vocals.

To generalize the entire genre of rap is ridiculous. Yes, I'm sure there are more than enough crappy mainstream artists whose lyrics are WORSE than 8th grade SLAM poetry, but to discount rap entirely as a genre of music is extremely ignorant, regardless of whether or not you like it.

well until rappers play an instrument in thier music or start singing good, I wont have respect for them, what talent is that, all there lyrics sounds like a bunch of 8th grade SLAM poetry


a) some sing well*
b) they play instruments

Care to revise your bullshit statement?

Oh yeah i forgot that one, its an immense song, lyrics a re mind blowing.

My lyrical Gods by the way are Dustin Kensrue(Thrice), Jesse lacey(BN) and Anthony Ranieri(bayside), although not sure Ranieri's quite in the same class as the other two. Another good one is Geoff Rickley of thrusday.
agreed.

[iaminsane20]

he's deffinitley my favorite vocalist
i think sometimes he just writes stuff to get songs over with.
