2. Drive into the sky until it turns the afternoon black.

3. ~~Everyday I wake up and hear you whisper my name.~~

4. What'd you say you son of a bitch? I won't play your games of which is which.

5. I should've known that this would happen from the start. This kind of function's gonna have to fall apart.

6. ~~Oh shit, I thought you and I were friends.~~

7. He graduated with a degree in Poli-Sci.

8. It happened oh so fast it takes me by surprise.

9. ~~How long before I get in?~~

10. Walking down the street late one night, it came from up above it was a big red light.

11. ~~She bought herself a diamond ring before the evening show.~~

12. ~~This isn't really sex, this isn't really life.~~

13. I will take your childhood dreams and turn them into to a beautiful film.

14. Make a fool of me and put me in my place.

15. Says to shut my mouth, make me quit my thoughts.

16. ~~The knife or the rope or the lemon, this brain and I.~~

17. ~~I live on a small street, with very small shoes but in a big house.~~

18. For once in my life I've got something to say.

19. We hold our breath 'til the morning comes and the last the sun shines through.

20. Not so jumpy now, downtown. No talk of concerns or fear.

21. I wanna say so much but I don't want you to leave.

22. Hey girl, get on the dance floor.

23. ~~I'm not the same as I was when I was young and neither are you.~~

24. Today I made you a mix tape and I decorated it with lots of stars.

25. Please die, Ana, for as long as you're here, we're not.

Guess The Lyrics

Wed, 7 Feb 2007 21:37:27 +0000

Just guess the lyrics and don't cheat!

1. ~~Dusting off your savior. You were always my favorite.~~

2. Through these eyes I've seen love and I've seen hate.

3. Birds eat worms, pigs eat turd.

4. ~~Once again these bitter herbs, the perfect complement to all your cryptic words.~~

5. ~~It's not just the pain, the pain in my back that laughs in my face.~~

6. ~~Him and her, life is turned, the day I knew you would leave.~~

7. ~~And I would do anything for love, I'd run right into hell and back.~~

8. Got the demon in my veins, crawling blind and my head's a wreck.

9. ~~Love is just another word for pain. It's a broken record repeating the same thing.~~

10. ~~You tell me you like the taste. You just need an excuse.~~

11. ~~Oh Annabel Lee, forever in my dreams.~~

12. Wake up! That night haunts you like a vampire bite.

13. It's only been a week. The rush of being home in rapid fading.

14. ~~You say you're down on your luck. Hey baby, it's a long, long way up.~~

15. All I want is to be with you. All I need is the need for you.

16. You jump in front of the bullet. The family put you to it.

17. ~~I'm just an old dog laid to rest here in my bed.~~

18. They called us walking corpses, unholy living dead. They had to lock us up.

19. ~~So many dreams that I'm chasing, so many fuckers are hating.~~

20. ~~I am waitin' 'til I don't know when, cause I'm sure it's gonna happen then.~~

21. Confusion just sets in it always does. Where does life begin, you never know.

22. ~~Your mind is set. No attempt to change a trend gaining momentum.~~

23. ~~So you broke down trying to leave town. I broke down crying on your return.~~

24. Close to my skin I'm falling in.

25. Hey, did you hear about my mistakes? I never thought you'd see me looking down.

26. ~~I'm nicotine, I'm coming clean. I fooled the crowd when I made it sound like I was more then ready strike up the band.~~

27. ~~Why don't we all strap bombs to our chests and ride our bikes to the next G-7 picnic?~~

28. I read you and God I'm good at it I'm so spot on.

29. If I had a lighter in hands and some oily rags.

Guess The Lyrics

Sun, 21 Jan 2007 01:17:37 +0000

Just guess the lyrics and no cheating!

1. You'll come undone, loving all the terrible people.

2. ~~Everyday convince myself of everything I can and can’t believe.~~

3. And I cry and no one can hear, inhale.

4. "Anything for you." Is what you told me, the day I sat there with you.

5. A rhapsody! Contestants in disguise. A nation of desire, but who will win the prize?

6. Am I the only one that feels alone though, all is home?

7. Don't come in unless you're going to kiss my feet.

8. ~~I fed the clues of a lost day killed in motion.~~

9. ~~Here in this diary, I write you visions of my summer.~~

10. ~~Stale as a two day, half full beer. Cigarette boats float around in here.~~

11. ~~I want to be the minority. I don't need your authority.~~

12. ~~Say goodnight and go. Skipping beats, blushing cheeks.~~

13. ~~Cut off my pair of limbs. Put off what's left within.~~

14. Destruction and hate in the world today. I wanna see blood on your face.

15~~. "Publicly subsidized! Privately profitable!" That's the anthem of the upper-tier.~~

16. ~~My shame is cold like a grave but my lust is hot like an engine.~~

17. ~~Stop, stop, staring at my window. Nobody's home.~~

18. Looking at you now, remember how you gave me shit and I made lemonade out of it?

19. ~~It's 16 miles to the promise land and I promise you I'm doing the best I can.~~

20. Something's growing under that wing, I think a face is dawning.

I got the idea for this in someone else's Journal, so credit goes to them for it :)

Okay, so I'll make a huge list of artists I like (I'll try to make it a variety, so it doesn't get boring). The first person will copy the list I have, and take the artist they dislike most off of the list. After that, the next person copies the list from the person above them and takes out their least favorite artist, etc. Feel free to post more than once, just make sure someone else does between each of your turns. Make sure to specify which artist you took out!

Here's the list:

Jack Johnson
Taking Back Sunday
The Misfits
Hilary Duff
Modest Mouse
Something Corporate
The Killers
Rise Against
Bad Religion

Lyrics Game

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 01:35:31 +0000

Just guess the lyrics, and no cheating

1. The weight of the world is on my shoulders and it's just too much to bear.

2. Love of mine, some day you will die but I'll be close behind.

3. Drink up baby down. Are you in or are you out? Leave your things behind 'cause it's all going off without you.

4. If I had a scheme for everything it seems I'd be sure that I could change it all.

5. We stare into the blinding light to see what's between us. It's red and it's white like lies, like lipstick on last-look good-byes.

6. We collided head-on and they said that we would not live very long.

7. Did I disappoint you or let you down? Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?

8. Listen to me, what I said. Try to get it through your head. A little bit of circumstance. A chance to make out.

9. I pledge allegiance to the demise of this empire of delusion and take with it your mind, murder and shackles of retribution.

10. He's gonna get you in the end. Then he'll be your only friend. There's nothing that'll save your soul.

11. Helicopters dropped us in the bush. Run for cover with an adrenaline rush.

12. You don't have to move, you don't have to speak. Lips for biting.

13. Bonfires burning bright. Pumpkin faces in the night. I remember Halloween.

~~14. The amount of pills I'm taking, counteracts the booze I'm drinking.~~

15. Oh, hold on. You risk exciting me. Once in Germany someone said nein.
