"Leave Out All The Rest" By LinkinPark

The lyrics pretty much speak for themselves.

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I made

I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

Dead! -My Chemical Romance.

laugh


And if your heart stops beating
I'll be here wondering
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life

And if you get to heaven
I'll be here waiting, babe

Did you get what you deserve?
The end and if your life won't wait
Then your heart can't take this

Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway
Oh take
Me from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand
It ain't exactly what you planned
And wouldn't it be great if
We were dead

Ohh Dead!

Tongue-tied and oh so squeamish
You never fell in love
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life

And if you get to heaven
I'll be here waiting, babe
Did you get what you deserve?
The end and if your life won't wait
Then your heart can't take this

Have you heard the news that you're dead
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway
Oh take
Me from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand
To take a pistol by the hand
And wouldn't it be great if
We were dead

And in my honest observation
During this operation
Found a complication
In your heart, so long
Cause now you've got
Maybe just two weeks to live
Is that the most the both of you can give?

One Two,
One Two Three Four
LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!-
Now come on,
LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!-
Oh Mother ****er

If Life ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If Life ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If Life ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If Life ain't just a joke
Then why am I dead?

"Bury Me Deep" by Poi dog Pondering

A lifetime of accomplishments of which the dirt knows none,
only in death can one truly return
Return the carrots, the apples and potatoes,
The chickens, the cows, the fish and tomatoes.
In one glorious swoop, let the deed be done
and bury me deep so that I can be one...

And all around my muscle and all around my bone,
don't incinerate me or seal me from
the dirt which bore me, the bed that which from
the rain falls upon and the fruit comes from
For the dirt is a blanket, no fiery tomb,
No punishment, reward, or pearly white room
And you who say that in death we will pay,
The dead they can't hear a word that you say
Your words are not kind, sober or giving,
they only put fear in the hearts of the living
So put away your tongues and roll up your sleeves,
and pick up your shovel and bury me deep.
