find the way - mika nakashima

I like Japanese songs, well some.

runaway train - soul asylum

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

CHORUS
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

CHORUS

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

someday

someday the lullaby won't be enough,
someday the whispers will quiet,
someday the lullaby will be trite,
someday the whispers will fade,

someday it will be clear,
someday i'll know,
someday it will all be over,
someday i'll know,

someday to be found in oblivion,
someday to be lost in consciousness,
someday to escape,
someday not too far away,

paperthin hymn - anberlin

When your only friends are hotel rooms
Hands are distant lullabies
If I could turn around I would tonight

These roads never seemed so long
Since your paper heart stopped beating leaving me suddenly alone
Will daybreak ever come?

Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever
(Over and over)
A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head
(Over and over)
Complaints of violins become my only friends


August evenings
Bring solemn warnings
To remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight

You never know what temporal days may bring
Laugh, love, live free and sing
When life is in discord
Praise ye the Lord

Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever
(Over and over)
This sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head
(Over and over)
Complaints of violins become my only friends

I thought you said forever
(Over and over)
The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head
(Over and over)
Complaints of violins become my only friends

I thought you said forever
(Over and over)

These thoughts run through my head

passion

glamour her name,
movements lithe and supple in light framed,
beauty undeniable though intellect be her fame,
this boy could not help but be amazed,

the music took her,
her passion for life displayed,
heart in sync with the beat's pulse,
bending her to its will, her body caved

to the rhythm her hips swayed,
back and forth, side to side she moved with grace,
euphoric in the grooves embrace,
this goddess sublime upon the dance floor she paced,

Q - evans blue

Are you saying love
Or are you saying nothing
Still life is a crime
That I can't ignore
Your perfect ways will follow
The temperature that's rising
All this time you never let me think

It was the hardest part to know
It was the fastest we could run
It was the farthest we could go
We are a lie my angel

Cause for hate and
A cause for ending
It sounds so easy
But everytime we were supposed to let go
We'd make love
Now pull me closer let the heat take over

Call me your way
Call me away
Don't end it open
I tried to love you like before
If this was our night
It was the best one of our lives

Are you saying now
Or are you saying never
The still frame in my mind cannot be ignored
And all I can remember
Is the way you moved your body
And how your lips never said no
But it was killing you inside
Cause you thought I was the one
And now it's out of your control
You have arrived my angel

Cause for hate and
A cause for ending
It sounds so easy
But everytime we were supposed to let go
We'd make love
Now pull me closer let the heat take over you
You

And we were drawing lines not to cross
So we would never feel a thing
And now it's breaking you apart
Just like it broke your heart

Cause for hate and
A cause for ending
It sounds so easy
But everytime we were supposed to let go
We'd make love
Now pull me closer let the heat take over

Call me your way
Call me away
Don't end it open
I tried to love you like before
If this was our night
It was the best one of our lives

undone

the raven's herald,
of a world burning,
a path the flames paving,
in its wake new life birthing,
the beauty of destruction's hand,
new creations in the purifying fire,
make me anew, my mind and body renew,
so that i might see the truth,
of a world come undone,
and the new order we've made,

death's dance

this cancer breeding,
of my own doing,
you a disease i'm not medicating,
a situation to remedy,
what do you think love?

to let you go,
to cut you out,
where do i start?
maybe in this heart?
does that scare you love?

we don't exist,
once i'm done neither will i,
and you'll hate who i won't be,
as all around the world comes crumbling down,
can't you see the beauty in anarchy love?

i, chaos have apportioned,
of grace there is none,
scorched earth in my stead,
to burn you out of my sight,
do the blind see peace love?

i've gone too far,
no not far enough,
i can still feel,
not, would be worth dying for,
the glorious silence love

in death's dance i partake,
for freedom from you i wait,
as the ritual my soul slowly breaks,
till glassed memories are all that remains,
and this remnant of the fallen is reborn

glass to the arson - anberlin

Tonight my heart is cold
Lost in your lies, shallow replies

And gravity prevails this time it's over
And you think you're the one

Calm me with your lies your simple tragedy
It's all I wish to hear tonight
And your all I wish to be
And this is how we all fall

Tonight my heart is cold
Lost in your lies, shallow replies
Tonight I'll just let go
Lost in your eyes, transparent cries

And innocence derailed
Savage the poison
Unhurried compass east

Calm me with your lies your simple tragedy
It's all I wish to hear tonight
And your all I wish to be
And this is how we all fall

Tonight my heart is cold
Lost in your lies, shallow replies
Tonight I'll just let go
Lost in your eyes, transparent cries

And we are, we are, we are the arsons
Who start all of your fires

And we are the arsons
Who start all of your fires, burning
Burning your city down

Tonight my heart is cold
Lost in your lies, shallow replies
Tonight I'll just let go
Lost in your eyes, transparent cries
Tonight my heart is cold
Lost in your lies, shallow replies
Tonight I'll just let go
Lost in your eyes, transparent cries

cinders

It's cold out tonight,
The fire has gone out inside,
So I light up another smoke,
to warm myself as i stare out,
the view empty something I'm familiar with,

Spinning in place,
I hate how you've got me turned out,
In my darkest place,
I hate how you've made me feel,
I wear myself on my sleeve for you,
Give me a sign so I can let you go,

Reality poses a question not an answer,
You've possessed me, haunting me now,
In dreams I can't escape you,
You're consuming me with every hour,
Pass me by, just go away, leave me now,

Spinning in place,
I hate how you've got me turned out,
In my darkest place,
I hate how you've got me questioning the truth,
I've worn myself on my sleeve,
Let me let you go,

I take another drag,
the fire close to my finger tips,
Maybe this will kill me,
And finally I'll have some peace,
Maybe it will kill me before you do,

Spinning in place,
I hate how you've got me turned out,
In my darkest place,
I hate how you've got me turning on myself,
I've worn myself on my sleeve for too long,
It's time I let it go,

Go home, don't come back,
I'll still be here desolate without you,
The view won't change,
The sun never rises,
My smokes are my only light,

Spinning in place,
I hate how you've got me turned out,
In my darkest place,
I hate how you've got me slipping, tripping,
I've worn myself on my sleeve for you,
The pace to fast, I'm going down,

I take my last drag,
put out that fire not mine,
Sorrow with me silently,
Cinders, all that is left of my fire,
Ashes, all that is left of me,

Spinning in place,
I hate how you've got me turned out,
I can't wear myself out anymore,
I've burnt out,
I can't wear myself out anymore,
I've burnt out,

paper wings - rise against

One last thing I beg you please, just before you go
I've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world
until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down
Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around
To catch you falling down
And I'm looking at you now

And I can't tell if you're laughing
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
There's a train leaving town in an hour
It's not waiting for you and neither am I

Swing for the fences son, he must have told you once
That was a conversation you took nothing from
SO RAISE YOUR GLASS NOW AND celebrate exactly what you've done
Just put off another day of knowing where you're from
You can catch up with yourself
if you run

And I can't tell if you're laughing
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
There's a train leaving town in an hour
Its not waiting for you and neither am I

Is this the life that you lead?
The life that's led for you?
Will you take the road thats been laid out before you
Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight?
Somewhere else tonight...
(Somewhere else.....)

And I cant tell if you're laughing
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
There's a train leaving town in an hour
It's not waiting for you and neither am I

And I cant tell if you're laughing
Between each smile theres a tear in your eye
Theres a train leaving town in an hour
Its not waiting for you and neither am I

pressure - staind

I just need this to be all right
I can't feel this another night

I can't take this I come unglued
I just need this to be alright
I can't feel this another night

I can't take this I come unglued
I might breakdown in front of you
necessary to medicate
I'm not sleeping, can't stay awake

Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure

If you need me I'll be here
Half unconscious to escape my fear
I can't take this I come unglued
I might breakdown in front of you
necessary to medicate
I'm not sleeping, can't stay awake

Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure

My head hurts this shit
isn't getting me high
My chest is so tight am I going to die
My stomach's in knots and the
room starts to spin
As I wait for this valium
to slowly kick in

Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure
