And we sit and drink our coffee Couched in our indifference, Like shells upon the shore You can hear the ocean roar In the dangling conversation And the superficial sighs, The borders of our lives. And you read your Emily Dickinson, And I my Robert Frost, And we note our place with bookmarkers That measure what we've lost. Like a poem poorly written We are verses out of rhythm, Couplets out of rhyme, In syncopated time And the dangled conversation And the superficial sighs, Are the borders of our lives. Yes, we speak of things that matter, With words that must be said, "Can analysis be worthwhile?" "Is the theater really dead?" And how the room is softly faded And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand, You're a stranger now unto me Lost in the dangling conversation. And the superficial sighs, In the borders of our lives. Dashboard Confessional - The Sharp Hint of New Tears On the way home, this car hears my confessions. I think tonight I'll take the long way. This weather. The wind outside is biting. It has left me feeling tired & exposed. You've been asking me to bleed. It seems these kinds of questions come too easy to you now. Your lack of shame comes naturally. I should not be surprised. I should have seen it sooner. You expect me to apologize for things that you've done wrong. While you're inciting others. You're owning up to nothing and I wish that I was gone, because you're not going anywhere. This damp air is fighting my defroster. My sighs they ring victorious & fog this tinted glass. It's clouded & so is my head. The hint of these new tears are sharp. I try to hold them back. It's useless. I am useless against them. They are beating me with ease. On the way home this car hears my confessions. I think tonight I'll take the long way. Oasis - Champagne Supernova How many special people change? How many lives are living strange? Where were you while we were getting high? Slowly walking down the hall Faster than a cannonball Where were you while we were getting high? Someday you will find me Caught beneath the landslide In a champagne supernova in the sky Wake up the dawn and ask her why A dreamer dreams, she never dies Wipe that tear away now from your eye Slowly walking down the hall Faster than a cannonball Where were you while we were getting high? Someday you will find me Caught beneath the landslide In a champagne supernova in the sky A champagne supernova 'Cuz we don't believe That they're gonna get away from the summer But you and I will never die The world's still spinning around we don't know why. Elton John - Goodbye Yellow-Brick Road: When are you gonna come down When are you going to land I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened to my old man You know you can't hold me forever I didn't sign up with you I'm not a present for your friends to open This boy's too young to be singing the blues So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad Oh I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road What do you think you'll do then I bet that'll shoot down your plane It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics To set you on your feet again Maybe you'll get a replacement There's plenty like me to be found Mongrels who ain't got a penny Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground Pearl Jam - I'm Open: A man lies in his bed in a room with no door He waits hoping for a presence something anything to enter After spending half his life searching he still felt as blank As the ceiling at which he stared He is alive but feels absolutely nothing So is he? When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him By nine he had deciphered the illusion trading magic for fact No tradebacks... So this is what it's like to be an adult If he only knew now what he knew then... Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers he decides to dream... Dream up a new self for himself... Abandoned Pools - Humanistic The Remedy I could use A shot Your novacaine My soul's a fuse Blows away your name Then you can be the remedy And I can be the enemy And he can go and live as nothing They you can be the wanna be And I can be the remedy And he can go to hell for all I care Say this world is not so shallow When you can't beg steal or borrow Save your breath your soul is hollow And it's all too much to swallow Take this souvenir They can't deny you were here This scar always there To medicate your fear Mercy Kiss I'm outta sight around the moon But I'll be back in time for you I know it's strange but are you big enough? Ok, you know this isn't right I'm the bark that's to your bite But I can't wait till you see the light So I, I do it all for you But I'm not asking for You lead me on I don't need your mercy kiss I'm in and out of astral planes The sliding doors I break the panes I know it's strange so are you brave enough Alright, like a quarterback I score I'm the one they all adore But I can't find what I'm looking for I don't need your I don't need it I don't need your mercy kiss Start Over What a mess our lives turned out to be It was at its best when you and I were only 3 We can start with all the things that turn us out And we can go right down the list and throw them out Can we start over? It's over Here you are and there's where you wanna be But don't think you don't have company Think of all the lonely people in the world And if it's God who made us why we so damn cruel We can never lie And you can never steal the time And we can only watch them die And we can never find out why Monster Everyone's a genius Brushing up on irony But no, no one's free Everyone's a salesman Gushing with sincerity Or so, so it seems I wanna go another round I wanna blow the monster down I wanna go another round Cos I am coming up I am coming back Everyone's a rockstar Look how cool and dark you are Oh, what's become of me now? We'll bust out the mission We'll bust the holier than thee OK Then we'll be free I wanna go another round I wanna blow the monster down I wanna go another round Cos I am coming up I am coming back Lay me on the table operate on me Spin me like a record scratch the needle back and forth I wanna go another round I wanna blow the monster down I wanna go another round Cos I am coming up I am coming back Blood I see the happy the family tree It sways so easily We're smiling all the time This world just isn't mine We watch it burn And we never learn This can't be what you're waiting for Staring into the sun We eat our young This can't be what you're waiting for Just take it easy on yourself Forget all the stupid things we say I know you beat up on yourself I know it's in your blood You say what no one understands The seeds are in your hands The branches break your bones I can't just leave you alone And watch you squirm And I can't bring myself to look I rip the pages from the book And watch it burn Suburban Muse Blue sky us holding down There's no why Only the sound of happy TV land Cue the canned applause Sidewalk fall through the cracks to China Never get back I'm nothing in these blues and laceless Velcro shoes There used to be a reason why We wrote the words across the sky You and I will never die without a fight My suburban muse Green grass towering high This white house, in it we'll die A thousand tiny lies take the place of you I've seen it too In all the things you do It lives inside of you A parasite or two I'm the king of ordinary things They're killing me from inside out I'll give it away Between the cars on dusty streets The cul de sac is where we meet I crunch the leaves beneath my feet and curse this town My suburban muse Sunny Day Hiding inside a crowd My head is inside a cloud Go where the music's loud And all these talking heads are Blurred in violet hues Another Sunny Day She doesn't know wrong from right She doesn't know when to fight She only knows that tonight there's always someone out there She'll never be alone Another Sunny Day C'mon get out Get off the bathroom floor Daddy's not here no more I'm showing you to the door Enough of always numb and always insecure Hiding inside a cloud Go where the music's loud My head is inside a crowd And all this talk of rock-stars really makes me sick L.V.B.D. Welcome to the world My little virgin baby doll Can you save me? I set you off With the tip of my tongue Spinning Never coming back I wanna dig for gold Wear the crown of forever lost souls I'll be nothing Forever Jill went up the hill And gave herself the will To kill her fear Now she's unstoppable Indestructable The incorruptible Forever lost soul Just a mercy kiss Born of emptiness I'm so sick of this And your fakin'... Ruin Your Life Time to give it up No one needs this any day Your life's a half-filled cup You'd never drink from anyway Well I say And if you want me to, I'd love to ruin your life There's nothing else to do Start a new Ruin your life Time to light the fuse And watch your whole world come undone Chaos soon ensues Blow it all to kingdom come Nice one Say goodbye Day after day you never ever crack a smile You know it's easier to die It's up to you Never Well we never made it through another day And it's all because you had to have it your way So lucky you I wonderin' when I'll be OK If it's never than it's never Well your mind is there but your heart is out to lunch And it's all because your philosophy's just a hunch T.V. time's over Father's order Seed Hey, you know I really liked your show And hey, I know a place where we could go And you don't have to do this if it's all you want is love But hey, I know you really wanna go How you wanna do this baby? How you wanna go? Fill up my emptiness it's you I wanna know He's just a boy with a nasty seed to sew There's no more grace to fall from There's no where left to go but down Flouresein Wipe away the summer air You don't wanna see That's you in that Photograph from 1973 And you don't even know me God only Knows I wanna be The other side of misery Gimme a plate of Fluorescein I'm gonna paint an ugly scene All of the things I wanna say Can't get a word out anyway Falling away after today Nothing to lose so come what may Don't wake me You got away from me somehow And all we tried to be Everything is different now The mind's eye fails to see And all we know is TV
