On the day that Daniel Cowman stopped existing
the world should have ended right then and there
at precisely four-fifteen when he stopped existing
the world should have ended
How could it go on?
How could it go on?
How could it go on?

Oh and I don't exist
I don't exist [repeats]…

So now that we've got that straight
doesn't mean that I can fly
doesn't mean I that I can go do whatever I want.
Now that we've got that clear
and you know that I'm not here
doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I please.

The premature ejaculation of his death
(something) hit Daniel in the face like a big round spitball hwk-pfffff.
And everything got hazy in the courtroom and then he stood up
and then he sat back down another two times in the row.
And everything got real slow like a gunshot in the movies
and he remembered heroin boy walking in through the door
bouncing off the walls and the floor
taking off his belt taking off his pants
filling up the bathtub
getting ready to go in for a swim.
Singing I don't exist
I don't exist [repeats]…

and now that we've got that straight,
doesn't mean that I can fly
doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I want.
Now that we've got that clear
and you know that I'm not here
doesn't mean that I can go do whatever I please.
and you start remembering and remembering and remembering
and remembering…

The heroin boy, he walked through the door,
and he was screaming
and I was like 'why's you screaming like it's the end of the world?'
and he was like 'well it is.'
and I was sitting in the corner with my pants down
and I was sure that someone next door was blowing up balloons
and it was red and orange.

And there was that swell lady at the bar just tryin to buy gin
and there was this other lady at the bar and she was tryin to sell gin
It worked out good for the boths of them.

And heroin boy started taking off his belt,
started taking off his pants,
started taking off his shoes
started filling up the bathtub
getting ready to go in for a swim
I says "No-o.
You're goin to drown.
he says 'No,
I can't drown.
Simply because…

shhhhhhh.

A man destined to hang
Can never drown,
a man destined to hang
can never drown,
a man destined to hang
can never ever drown.

A man destined to drown
can never burn,
a man destined to drown
can never burn,
a man destined to drown
can never ever burn.

A man destined to fry
can never ever ever
a man destined to fry
can never ever ever
a man destined to fry
can never ever ever die…
in any other way but frying,
lucky that I'm dying
by hanging and not drowning.

So now that we've got that straight
can't I just be left alone?
I want to take a fuckin' bath.

we are kids we play punk rock and rolllllllllllllll

your scream is burning through my veins.

thats when he cared that i existed
back then was something to see
thats when it mattered that i was alive
back then he said he would die for me

It might sound funny
But when your heart is nearly-new
You say "I'll try"; but never do
"I'll try to get there in the end"

The cuckoo is a pretty bird
It sings the sweetest song I've ever heard
And it reminds me how you stole into my heart
And took everything away
All away

It's outrageous
It's disgraceful -
How could we ever have been so tasteful?
I know we said we won't
But you can call me if you want
And you know I'm always there

I thought you'd like to know
I still think you are the most
But you left me living here
Married to a ghost
Then, it gets so cold at night-time
Never knew it got so cold at night-time
Sometimes dreams come true:
One night when the moon is blue
And I may come to you
With a love that's nearly-new

Oh, my love
I've tried to love you
But I guess I'm out of practice
And practicing is strictly for the birds

The cuckoo is a pretty bird
It sings the sweetest song I've ever heard
And it reminds me how you stole into my heart
And then threw everything away
And you say:

It's outrageous
It's so shoddy
The way you're making love to someone else's body
And my flesh can go and crawl
Halfway up the bedroom wall
And you know I'm always there

I thought you'd like to know
I still think you are the most
But you left me living here
To wind up married to a ghost
Oh, it gets so cold at night-time
Never knew it got so cold at night-time
But sometimes dreams come true:
One day when the moon is blue
Then I may come to you
With a love that's nearly-new.

Open-hearted surgery never works
So eat your words or hide 'em in the dirt

Sometimes dreams come true:
One night when the moon is blue
And I may come to you....

And don't look now,
But theres a spider crawling on the wall behind you.
I should of paid attention in algebra.

Let's talk about spaceships
or anything
except you and me
Okay?

and though you pretend to stand by us...i know you're certain we'll fail.

God shine your light down here, shine on the love, love of the loveless.

safe forever,forever
safe forever, foreeeverr
safe forever, forever
safe forever, forever

FOREVERRRRRRR


SAFE FOREVER, FOREVER

SAFE FOREVER, FOREVER
SAFE FOREVER, FOREVER

SAFE!! FOREVER!!!!

FOR EVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVER


FOR EVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEER

Having the lyrics "are you coming onto me?" and "get yourself a lawyer and a gun" makes the closer brilliant.

Don't you see the sky's not the limit no more? I can see the elevator crash through the floor.

Late dawns and early sunsets, just like my favorite scenes
Then holding hands and life was perfect, just like up on the screen
And the whole time while always giving
Counting your face among the living

Up and down escalators, pennies and colder fountains
Elevators and half price sales, trapped in by all these mountains
Running away and hiding with you
I never thought they'd get me here
Not knowing you changed from just one bite
I fought them all off just to hold you close and tight

don't come home for Christmas
you're the last thing I wanna see
underneath the tree
merry Christmas, I could care less

but theres this switch that gets hit and it all stops making sense..

I'm not black like Barry White no I am white like Frank Black is

You're such a quiet, quiet achiever
I hope she wakes up. really hope she wakes up.
I cant remeber what she said. I'll take a bullet to the head
What a joke, good nights rest?! i bearly get requiered sleep
Hes a gun I confess his a gun.
So quiet, quiet achiever you make it out of wood and snow, just let is go, let it go
I hope she wakes up. really hope she wakes up.
I cant remeber what she said. I'll take a bullet to the head
Heres a joke im blessed that i can still get some sleep
He's a gun its a test, its a gun
So quiet, quiet achiever you make it out of wood and snow, just let is go, let it go
I hope she wakes up. really hope she wakes up.
I have nothing more to say

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with unerupted prosperity
Who uses a machete to cut through red tape

how can I stand here with you
and not be moved by you?

pride, lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, and envy...it's all in a hard days work for me...and i pay no mind.

When I crashed and burned When I found myself alone Unknown and hurt

Drink up baby down
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
'Cause it's all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you're writing a tragedy
These mess-ups
You bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like

So, let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

It gains the more it gives
And then advances with the form
So, honey, back for more
Can't you see that all the stuff's essential?
Such boundless pleasure
We've no time for later
Now you can wait
You roll your eyes
We've twenty seconds to comply

So, let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's al right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

You're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything
Everything

Fucking coward, does it make you feel big
and strong to watch her cry out and bleed?
See the fear in her eyes, won't you kill the weakness in yours.
Motherfucker, vengeance comes soon.
You won't stand in front of me.
I'll avenge my family.
Been waiting these four years to destroy you,
to erase you from this place so we can breathe.
Don't want you as a memory.
Shadow, I'll cast you down.
You, you're just a bitch you think I'd let you forget?
Someday, our paths will cross, you're the one who will bleed.
Salvation from my hate.
Won't break my promise to the one who gave me this life.
I've been waiting these four years to get you out of my head.
You kill the memories, you kill the memories.
Won't kill this pain, your pain and memories.
Pain inside.

So far away
Come on I'll take you far away
Let's get away
Come on let's make a get away

Once you have loved someone this much
you doubt it could fade
despite how much you'd like it to
God how you'd like it to fade

Let's fade together

If we get away
You know we might just stay away
So stay awake
Why the hell should I stay awake?
When you're far away
Oh god you are so far away

I looked your wall
Saw that old passport photograph
I look like I've just jumped the Berlin Wall
Berlin I love you
I'm starting to fade

Let's fade together

Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, How Low?

i am the eggman , whooooo , i am the eggman , whoooo, i am the walrus Ku ku ke chu ...

now that its june, we’ll sleep out in the garden
and if it rains, we’ll just sink in to the mud
where it is quiet and much cooler than the house is
and there is no clocks or phones to wake us up
because i have learned that nothing is as pressing
as the one who is pressing would like you to believe
and i am content to walk a little slower
because there is nowhere that i really need to be
i find that life is easier when it is just a blur
with no details to confuse who or what or where i was
so when the ending comes the full regret will be obscure
but these are days we dream about when the sunlight paints us gold
and this apartment could not be prettier as when we danced
up there alone
this tv is old, the color is fucked, do you see the
difference in the shades?
but the green is still close to green, my love
and i believe we are the same
and we’ll stay like this, all gold and green
the light collects and projects your heart on a movie screen
and if you close your eyes
we will always be the way we were that night
you crawled inside of me
and you slept in my blood the way you sleep now
the quietest hush has consumed this house
and when the doctors are gone and you sweat through the bed
with all these pictures and pills they piled around your head
just rest now, and in a moment you will know everything
was it just a dream?
it’s too vague now to recount.
and outline of the one you loved in a life that was not longer will be stands
above you as you sleep.

you like Lifehouse?


I LOVE YOU!

she DID make a topic about them, as far as I remember.

and I like them too

I used to be such a big fan three years ago. I didn't get into their last CD really. Their first one will be it, always.

i think you put one extra greeting in there.

I loved you since I knew ya
I wouldn't talk down to ya
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again it's a bad way

NEVER HEARD YOU SAY GOODBYE!
READ YOUR LETTER, MADE ME CRY!

SAW YOU WITH ANOTHER GUY!
NEVER WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME!

YOU'RE IN LOVE! YOU'RE IN LOVE!
HELL BELOW MEANS STARS ABOVE!
HELL BELOW MEANS STARS ABOVE!
HELL BELOW MEANS STARS ABOVE!

Catch your breath,
Hit the wall,
Scream out loud,
As you start to crawl
Back in your cage
The only place
Where they will
Leave you alone.
'Cause the weak will
Seek the weaker til they've broken them.
Could you get it back again?
Would it be the same?
Fulfillment to their lack of strength at your expense,
Left you with no defense;
They tore it down

Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
The love for what you hide
The bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere

Hopeless time to roam
The distance to your home
Fades away to nowhere
How much are you worth
You can't come down to earth
You're swelling up, you're unstoppable

'cause you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere

Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting our last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away
Away from you

Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like it's a birth squeeze
And the love for what you hide
And the bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born

When you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
Soulless is everywhere

Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting their last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'cause I'm drifting away
Away from you

eat all the grass that you want, accidents happen in the dark.

our day will come
and we'll have everything
we'll share the joy
falling in love can bring

no one can tell me that I'm too young to know
'cause I love you so, and you love me.....love me

our day will come
if we just wait a while
and no tears for us
think love and wear a smile

and our dreams are meant to be
'cause we'll always stay in love this way
our day will come

our day will come
if we just wait a while
and no tears for us
think love and wear a smile

and our dreams are meant to be
'cause we'll always stay in love this way
our day will come

come spit off bridges with me

Just behind the station, before you reach the traffic island, a river runs thru' a concrete channel.
I took you there once; I think it was after the Leadmill.
The water was dirty & smelt of industrialisation
Little mesters coughing their lungs up & globules the colour of tomato ketchup.
But it flows. Yeah, it flows.
Underneath the city thru' dirty brickwork conduits
Connecting white witches on the Moor with pre-raphaelites down in Broomhall.
Beneath the old Trebor factory that burnt down in the early seventies.
Leaving an antiquated sweet-shop smell & caverns of nougat & caramel.
Nougat. Yeah, nougat & caramel.
And the river flows on.
Yeah, the river flows on beneath pudgy fifteen-year olds addicted to coffee whitener
And it finally comes above ground again at Forge Dam: the place where we first met.

I went there again for old time's sake
Hoping to find the child's toy horse ride that played such a ridiculously tragic tune.
It was still there - but none of the kids seemed interested in riding on it.
And the cafe was still there too
The same press-in plastic letters on the price list & scuffed formica-top tables.
I sat as close as possible to the seat where I'd met you that autumn afternoon.
And then, after what seemed like hours of thinking about it
I finally took your face in my hands & I kissed you for the first time
And a feeling like electricity flowed thru' my whole body.
And I immediately knew that I'd entered a completely different world.
And all the time, in the background, the sound of that ridiculously heartbreaking child's ride outside.

At the other end of town the river flows underneath an old railway viaduct
I went there with you once - except you were somebody else -
And we gazed down at the sludgy brown surface of the water together.
Then a passer-by told us that it used to be a local custom to jump off the viaduct into the river
When coming home from the pub on a Saturday night.
But that this custom had died out when someone jumped
Landed too near to the riverbank
Had sunk in the mud there & drowned before anyone could reach them.
I don't know if he'd just made the whole story up, but there's no way you'd get me to jump off that bridge.
No chance. Never in a million years.

Yeah, a river flows underneath this city
I'd like to go there with you now my pretty & follow it on for miles & miles, below other people's ordinary lives.
Occasionally catching a glimpse of the moon, thru' man-hole covers along the route.
Yeah, it's dark sometimes but if you hold my hand, I think I know the way.
Oh, this is as far as we got last time
But if we go just another mile we will surface surrounded by grass & trees & the fly-over that takes the cars to cities.
Buds that explode at the slightest touch, nettles that sting - but not too much.
I've never been past this point, what lies ahead I really could not say.
I used to live just by the river, in a dis-used factory just off the Wicker
The river flowed by day after day
"One day" I thought, "One day I will follow it" but that day never came
I moved away & lost track but tonight I am thinking about making my way back.
I may find you there & float on wherever the river may take me.
Wherever the river may take me.
Wherever the river may take us.
Wherever it wants us to go.
Wherever it wants us to go.

oh.

What was it you wanted?
I just wanna say
Don't ever change
And thank you
I don't think we will meet again
And you must leave now
Before the sun rises over the skyscrapers

Your increasingly long embraces
Are they saying sorry or please?
I don't know what's happening, help me

Pinching with a moment so tight
Undone and looking just right

which came first?

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange...
People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

So many kids but i only see you.

we all know conspiracies are dumb

This world is spinning around me
The whole world is spinning inside me
Every day brings future to past
Every breath brings me closer to my last
