Awake and Alive - Skillet

I'm at war with the world and they,
Try to pull me in the dark,
I struggle to find my faith,
As I'm slipping from your arms.
It's getting harder to stay awake,
And my strength is fading fast,
You breathe into me at last.

I'm awake! I'm alive!
Now I know what I believe inside,
Now it's my time,
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life,
Here, right now!
I'll stand my ground and never back down,
I know what I believe inside,
I'm awake and I'm alive!

I'm at war with the world 'cause I,
Ain't never gonna sell my soul,
I've already made up my mind,
No matter what - I can't be bought or sold.
When my faith is getting weak,
And I feel like giving in,
You breathe into me again.

I'm awake! I'm alive!
Now I know what I believe inside,
Now it's my time,
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life,
Here, right now!
I'll stand my ground and never back down,
I know what I believe inside,
I'm awake and I'm alive!

Waking up Waking up, Waking up Waking up,
Waking up Waking up, Waking up Waking up,
In the dark, I can feel you in my sleep,
In your arms I feel you breathe into me,
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you,
Forever I will live for you!

I'm awake! I'm alive!
Now I know what I believe inside,
Now it's my time,
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life,
Here, right now!
I'll stand my ground and never back down,
I know what I believe inside,
I'm awake and I'm alive!
Waking up Waking up, Waking up Waking up,
Waking up Waking up, Waking up Waking up.

Officially my new favourite thread.

Ambulance Chaser - Search the City

You said just look on the bright side
but the bright side looks black and white
just one more time, can we scale this fence and scream at the city lights?
if we're playing for keeps, you already beat me

now i've come undone just so you could stitch me up
this damage seems to suit you, if i'm going down then you're going down
now i've come undone just so you could stitch me up
this damage seems to suit you, if you're going down
then i'll go down with you

this red wine by poolside, we'll toast to the bitter end and the best mistake of our lives.
they've got a name for you where i come from
you keep making a mess and turning heads and the worst part is you know it

now i've come undone just so you could stitch me up
this damage seems to suit you, if i'm going down then you're going down
now i've come undone just so you could stitch me up
this damage seems to suit you, if you're going down
then i'll go down

the haunting, the kind that i never saw coming
are you haunting me?
you're the ghost that's digging my grave
i've got a gut feeling
can anybody hear me?
got a gut feeling that you will be the death of me
if i go down, then you're going down

it's not what you said
it's just the way you said it
it's not what you said, but i can't forget this

now i've come undone just so you could stitch me up
this damage seems to suit you, if i'm going down then you're going down
now i've come undone just so you could stitch me up
this damage seems to suit you, if you're going down
then i'll go down baby

Eep! I love lyric threads.

Poison Oak by Bright Eyes

Poison oak, some boyhood bravery
When the telephone was a tin can on a string
And I fell asleep with you still talking to me
You said you weren't afraid to die
In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes
Were you made ashamed, why'd you lock them in a drawer?
Well, I don't think that I ever loved you more

Than when you turned away, when you slammed the door
When you stole the car and drove towards Mexico
And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm
I was young enough, I still believed in war

Well let the poets cry themselves to sleep
And all their tearful words will turn back into steam

But me, I'm a single cell on the serpent's tongue
There's a muddy field where a garden was
And I'm glad you got away but I'm still stuck out here
My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears

And I never thought this life was possible
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for

The end of paralysis, I was a statuette
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench
And when I press the keys it all gets reversed
The sound of loneliness makes me happier

Heads Will Roll by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Off with your head
Dance until you're dead
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
On the floor

Glitter on the wet streets
Silver over everything
The river's all wet
You're all cold

Dripping with alchemy
Shiver stop shivering
The glitter's all wet
You're all chrome

The men cry out
The Girls cry out
The men cry out
Oh no

Off with your head
Dance until you're dead
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
On the floor

Looking glass
Take the past
Shut your eyes
Mirror lies

Glitter on the wet streets
Silver over everything
The glitter's all wet
You're all chrome
You're all chrome

Off with your head
Dance until you're dead
Off with your head
Dance until you're dead
Off with your head
Dance until you're dead

Made Up Stories - Go:Audio
I've listened to this 1928 times. According to iTunes.

Please won't you go back out,
I'm fast asleep,
Can't deal with this no more,
On your way out,
Please do turn off the light,
And close the door too.

Don't come back and pretend to tell me,
The night you've had with your made up stories,
I was there but you didnt see me,
There you were and the floor was empty,
You and him getting more than friendly,
It was just a kiss,
But I could see you meant it.

I've brought your favourite coat,
I know how cold you get,
and you left it,
then standing out of view,
I just had to leave,
cause what I'd have done to you,

Don't come back and pretend to tell me,
The night you've had with your made up stories,
I was there but you didnt see me,
There you were and the floor was empty,
You and him getting more than friendly,
It was just a kiss,
But I could see you meant it.

The saddest thing for me,
was I trusted you yeah,
endlessly so now,
the innocence you played,
just go save it for the other guy I'd seen.

Don't come back and pretend to tell me,
The night you've had with your made up stories,
I was there but you didnt see me,
There you were and the floor was empty,
You and him getting more than friendly,
It was just a kiss,
But I could see you meant it.

So don't come back and pretend to tell me,
The night you've had with your made up stories,
I was there but you didnt see me,
Don't come back and pretend to tell me,
The night you've had with your made up stories,
I was there but you didnt see me,
There you were and the floor was empty,
You and him getting more than friendly,
It was just a kiss,
But I could see you meant it.

Slow Me Down~ Emmy Rossum

Rushing and racing and running in circles
Moving so fast I'm forgetting my purpose
Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning
Getting nowhere

My head and my heart are colliding chaotic
Pace of the world I just wish I could stop it
Try to appear like I've got it together
I'm falling apart

Save me
Somebody take my hand and lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
Cause I'm ready to fall

Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down

Sometimes I fear that I might disappear
In the blur of fast forward I falter again
Forgetting to breathe
I need to sleep
I'm getting nowhere

All that I've missed I see in the reflection
Pass me while I wasn't paying attention
Tired of rushing, racing and running
I'm falling apart

Tell me
Oh won't you take my hand and lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
Cause I'm ready to fall

Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down

Just show me
I need you to slow me down
Slow me down
Slow me down

The noise of the world is getting me caught up
Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it
Just need to breathe
Somebody please
Slow me down

Defying Gravity ~ Wicked

Glinda:
Elphaba - why couldn't you have stayed calm for once,
instead of flying off the handle!

I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever

Elphaba:
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy too
I hope you're proud how you
Would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition

Both:
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now...

Glinda:
Elphie, listen to me - just say you're sorry...

You can still be with the wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted...

Elphaba:
I know...But I don't want it - NO - I can't want it
anymore...

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down...

Glinda:
Can't I make you understand, you're having delusions of grandeur...?

Elphaba:
I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But 'till I try, I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love - I guess I have lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down...

Elphaba: Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do - together.

I'm Limited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been, Glinda,
Dreams the way we planned 'em

Glinda:
If we work in tandem

Both:
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity

Elphaba:
They'll never bring us down...
Well? Are you coming?

Glinda:
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this...

Elphaba:
You too - I hope it brings you bliss

Both:
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend...

Elphaba:
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately -
Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me -

Tell them how I
Am defying gravity!
I'm flying high
Defying gravity!
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

Glinda:
I hope you're happy!

Citizens of Oz:
Look at her, shes wicked!
Get her!

Elphaba:
...bring me down!

Citizens of Oz:
No one mourns the wicked
So we've got to bring her...

Elphaba:
Ahhhh!

Citizens of Oz:
Down!
