Island in the Stream



Islands in the stream

That is what we are

No one in between

How can we be wrong

Sail away with me

To another world

And we rely on each other , ah ha

From one lover to another , ah ha

As the guards march me out to the courtyard

Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you"

If there's a god, why has he let me down?



As I walk, my life drifts before me

Though the end is near, I'm not sorry

Catch my soul, its willing to fly away..



- Iron Maiden





In your mind's eye could you truly believe,

That by giving you can save your soul?

Could you be so naive?

You heal the sick, you raise the dead,

You blind the congregation

With the things you say.



Religious blackmail a deceit of trust,

That death will come and all will be lost.



When doubt subsides his honesty,

An inquiry, is it blasphemy?

Impure the soul, that's made to suffer,

No sermons left to hide or cover,

An empty promise, lie unfulfilled,

To steal a dream or get it killed.

They claim your trip to heavens nearby,

You may believe it but satan wouldn't lie.



- Slayer





Holy man open up your eyes

To the ways of the world you've been so blind

As the walls of religion come crashing down

How's the ignorance taste the second time around



-Slayer



Never! No never again!

Listen to me and believe what I say if you can

Never, this is the end

you know I've seen the faces of doom and I'm only a man



Help me, tell me I'm sane

I feel a change in the earth, in the wind and the rain

Save me, take me away

you know I've seen some creatures from hell and I've heard what they say..



-Black Sabbath





The war tear just drags along

But oh God it's growing strong

It's time again ourselves to spare

It's just the violence everywhere



Religion is hate

Religion is fear

Religion is war



Religion is rape

Religion's obscene

Religion's a whore



Jesus is pain

Jesus is gore

Jesus is the blood that's spilled in war



He's everything

He's all things dead

He's pulling on the trigger

Pointed at your head



-Slayer

One of my favorites --

"Does anyone know

Where the love of God goes

When the waves turn the minutes to hours?"

- The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot, about the drownings that took place in Lake Superior in the 1970s, when a ship sank.

Change by Blind Melon is always a good one.



I don't feel the suns comin' out today

Its staying in, its gonna find another way.

As I sit here in this misery, I don't

Think I'll ever, no lord, see the sun from here.

And oh as I fade away,

They'll all look at me and say, and they'll say,

Hey look at him! I'll never live that way.

But that's okay

They're just afraid to change.

When you feel your life ain't worth living

You've got to stand up and

Take a look around you then a look way up to the sky.

And when your deepest thoughts are broken,

Keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin its time to die.

And as we all play parts of tomorrow,

Some ways will work and other ways well play.

But I know we all cant stay here forever,

So I want to write my words on the face of today.

And then they'll paint it

And oh as I fade away,

They'll all look at me and they'll say,

Hey look at him and where he is these days.

When life is hard, you have to change

actually i just heard this new song from the band "Something Corprate" called Konstantine... they are kinda emo i guess but i love it. It kinda resembles my last relationship how the girl breaks up with the guy but they both get lonley and figure out that they really do need eachother and get back into eachothers arms at the end. (or at least thats what i pulled from it)



And if I hurt you

Then I’m sorry

Please don’t think that this was easy

And then you’d bring me home

Cuz we both know what it’s like to be alone

And I’m dreaming in your living room

but We don’t have much room

To live

I like "Over my head" by the fray. Its makes you think about a time where you've fallen and everybody was expecting it.



And suddenly I become a part of your past

I'm becoming the part that don't last

I'm losing you and its effortless

Without a sound we lose sight of the ground

In the throw around

Never thought that you wanted to bring it down

I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves



Thats my Favorite part

Haunted by evanescence

"long last word whisper slowly to me,

can't find what keeps me here,

when all this time i've been so hollow inside,

i know your still there"



Our Lady Of Sorrows by my chemical romance

"stand up ******* tall,

don't let them see your back,

take my ****** hand and never be afraid again."



B.Y.O.B by system of a down

"everybodys going to the party have a real good time,

dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine"



Before I Forget by slipknot

" i am a world before i am a man,

i was a creature before i could stand,

i will remember before i forget,

before i forget that."

Numb, by Linkin Park.



I had a rather disturbing arguement with my father some time ago concerning my lifestyle and career.

It became the defining moment of my life.

The lyrics almost perfectly mirror the statements I made at the time and hearing them in the form of music is somewhat different than hearing myself scream them.

Gnarls Barkley "Crazy"



I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind

There was something so pleasant about that place.

Even your emotions had an echo

In so much space



And when you're out there

Without care,

Yeah, I was out of touch

But it wasn't because I didn't know enough

I just knew too much



Does that make me crazy?

Does that make me crazy?

Does that make me crazy?

Possibly [radio version]

probably [album version]



And I hope that you are having the time of your life

But think twice, that's my only advice



Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,

Ha ha ha bless your soul

You really think you're in control



Well, I think you're crazy

I think you're crazy

I think you're crazy

Just like me



My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb

And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them

Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun

And it's no coincidence I've come

And I can die when I'm done



Maybe I'm crazy

Maybe you're crazy

Maybe we're crazy

Probably



Uh, uh

It's a tie between "Lip Gloss And Black"- Atreyu or "Revenge I Seek"- Bleeding Through.



"Lip Gloss And Black" is amazing. The music is beautiful and the lyrics are so truthful.



"Revenge I Seek" because it has so much energy. I love the quote at the beginning of the song also.

Before he cheats--Carrie Underwood





Right now he's probably slow dancing with some bleach blonde tramp and she's probably getting frisky

Right now he's probably buying her some fruity little drink cuz she can't shoot whiskey



Chorus





I dug my key into the side of his pretty little supped up 4 wheel drive

Carved my name into his legacy

I took a louisville slugger to both headlights

Slashed a hole in all four tires

Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

I think the lyrics to "Little Room" by the White Stripes are very good.



"Well Yer in your little room,

and your workin' on something good

But if it's really good,

your goin' to need a bigger room,

and when your in the bigger room

you might not know what to do.

You might have to think of

how you got started

sittin' in your little room."





But of course this is a tie between Brak's "I Like Hubcaps"

One of my favorite bands when I was younger was ' Uriah Heep' and 'The Wizard' off the 'demons and Wizards' Album ( yes, at 1 time we collected Albums ) was a memorable song. One line was ' he freed the world of it's fear and pain, and helped the people to be free again'.

i have a lot of favorites...



one is "I slept with someone from fall out boy and all i got was this stupid song written about me" (by fall out boy...of course)



part of it goes...



"i found the cure to growing older

and you're the olny place that feels like home.

just so you know, you'll never know

and some secrets weren't meant to be told

but i found the cure to growing older"



another favorite is

"your guardian angel" (by the red jumpsuit apparatus)



"I will never let you fall

I'll stand up with you forever

I'll be there for you through it all

Even if saving you sends me to heaven"

I think at this moment it is "Mother,Mother by Tracey Bonham"



Mother mother how's the family?

I'm just calling to say hello.

How's the weather? how's my father?

Am I lonely? heavens no.

Mother mother are ya listening? just a phone call to ease your mind.

Life is perfect, never better, distance making the heart grow fond.



When you sent me off to see the world,

were you scared that I might get hurt?

Would I try a little tobacco,

would I keep on hiking up my skirt?



I'm hungry,

I'm dirty,

I'm losing my mind...

Everything's fine!



I'm freezing,

I'm Starving,

I'm Bleeding death...

Everything's fine!



Yeah, I'm working, making money, I'm just starting to build a name.

I can feel it, around the corner, I could make it any day.

Mother mother can you hear me, sure I'm sober, sure I'm sane.

Life is perfect, never better, still your daughter, still the same.



If I tell you what you want to hear,

will it help you to sleep well at night?

Are you sure that I'm your perfect dear,

now just cuddle up and sleep tight.



I'm hungry,

I'm dirty,

I'm losing my mind...

Everything's fine!



I'm freezing,

I'm starving,

I'm bleeding to death...

Everything's fine!



I miss you,

I love you.
