Three Days Grace: Never Too Late

neophyte — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 19:33:01 -0600

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTMpOD83xDw

This world will never be what I expected.
And if I don't belong who would have guessed it...?
I will not leave alone everything that I own
to make you feel like it's not too late.
It's never too late...

Even if I say "It'll be all right,"
still I hear you say you want to end your life...
Now and again we try to just stay alive.
Maybe we'll turn it all around,
'cause it's not too late.
It's never too late...

The one we'll never see is the side reflected.And if there's something wrong, who would have guessed it...?

Elbow - Powder Blue

Kerry — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 04:02:37 -0700

Your eyes are just like black spiders
Your hair and dress in ribbons. Babycakes
In despair or incoherent. Nothing in between
China white, my bride tonight
Smiling on the tiles

Bring that minute back
We never get so close as when the sunward flight begins

I share it all with you
Powder blue
Stumble through the crowds together
They're trying to ignore us. That's o.k.
I'm proud to be the one you hold when the shakes begin

Sallow skinned, starry eyed, blessed
In our sin
Bring that minute back
We never get so close to death
Makes you so alive
I share it all with you

Talking Heads - Stay Up Late

Kerry — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 18:34:18 -0600

Mommy had. A little baby.
There he is. Fast asleep.
He's just. A little plaything.
Why not. Wake him up?
Cute. Cute. Little baby.
Little pee pee. Little toes.
Now he's comin' to me.
Crawl across. The kitchen floor.

Baby, baby, please let me hold him
I wanna make him stay up all night
Sister, sister, he's just a plaything
We wanna make him stay up all night
Yeah we do

See him drink. From a bottle.
See him eat. From a plate.
Cute. Cute. As a button.
Don't you wanna make him. Stay up late.
And we're having fun. With no money.
Little smile. On his face.

3 Doors Down - Be Like That

Kerry — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 20:02:06 -0600

He spends his whole life being too young,
To live the life that he dreams
And now he lies awake and wonders
Why can't that be me?
Cause in his life he's filled with all these good intentions.
He's left a lot of things he'd rather not mention right now.
Just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smile at me and he says

If I could be like that (like that)
I'd would give anything
Just to live one day
In those shoes.
If I could be like that (like that), what would I do?
What would I do? yeah

Now in dreams we run.

Goo Goo Dolls - Better Days

Kerry — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 16:57:52 -0700

And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world

The Verve Pipe - The Freshman

neophyte — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 16:55:10 -0600

When I was young I knew everything
She a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I'm guilt stricken,
Sobbing with my head on the floor
Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice

I can't be held responsible
She was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and
We'd never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe
We'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

My best friend took a week's
Vacation to forget her
His girl took a weeks's worth of

Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become

Kerry — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 09:34:40 -0600

The Official video can be found @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbHn1Pgj6Zk

Full lyrics without interruption:
I can't escape this hell
So many times i've tried
But i'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal, this animal)

I can't escape myself
(I can't escape myself)
So many times i've lied
(So many times i've lied)
But there's still rage inside

Evanescence - Everybody's Fool

neophyte — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 10:55:17 -0700

perfect by nature
icons of self indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that

never was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me
you know you've got everybody fooled

look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now i know she

never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

without the mask where will you hide
can't find yourself lost in your lie

i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore

Guns and Roses - Don't Cry

Kerry — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 13:50:35 -0700

Talk to me softly
There is something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Somethin is changin' inside you
And don't you know

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

Give me a whisper
And give me a sign
Give me a kiss before you
tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had...baby

Sixx AM - Life is Beautiful

Kerry — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 17:24:34 -0700

This is one of those "Hit-rock-bottom-then-recover" songs I like when I get really pissed, frustrated and angry.

Knowing how close people get to death and suicide, feeling like a complete failure cannot ever be an option for me.

You can't quit until you try
You can't live until you die
You can't learn to tell the truth
Until you learn to lie

You can't breathe until you choke
You gotta laugh when you're the joke
There's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,

"Why are these children dying?"

Kerry — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 14:57:01 -0600

They are the stories no one wants to hear -- children, abused and neglected, some to the point of death.Many of them must leave their families to go into shelters or foster care. Often these children leave their homes with only a garbage bag to hold their clothes and favorite toys, the most are routinely tossed from one temporary placement to another, often ten or twenty times during their most formative, vulnerable years.This is the continuing saga of crimes against Foster children. Children are dying, inside and out...

Avril Lavigne - I'm With You

Kerry — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 07:25:08 -0700

I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound

Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you

I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know
'Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess

Yellowcard - shadows and regrets

neophyte — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 15:51:45 -0700

I'm back, back in town, and everything has changed.
I feel, feel let down, the faces stay the same.
I see, see shadows of who we used to be.
When I drive, drive so slow through this memory.
When we were only kids, and we were best of friends,
And we hoped for the best, and let go of the rest.

I heard, heard myself say things I take back.
If I could, could re-tell, and make these stories last.
I see, see shadows of who we'll always be.
When I drive, drive these roads that made our memories.
And we were only kids, and we were best of friends,

Letter from an adoptee

Kerry — Wed, 21 May 2008 13:28:07 -0600

May 03, 2008
For people who have been adopted and are having trouble moving past it. I know people will say that you were chosen by someone else, but those homes don't always work out as the best second chance. And sometimes, adoptees get stuck at the part about being left behind.

To all adoptees who are stuck, I understand how you feel because I am adopted too and understand the overwhelming emotions that some people feel. There are adoptees who aren't affected the same way and that's fair, everyone deals differently, so if you are adopted and haven't struggled with it, good for you.

John Mayer - Gravity

Kerry — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 08:10:40 -0700

Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away

Oh Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh twice as much aint twice as good
And can't sustain like a one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
[repeat]

Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
And gravity has taken better men than me (Now how can that be?)

Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
