Ok this will wrap it up...the last 2 songs that I listened to tonight that definitely strike an emotional chord for me right now. Two of my favorites from what is one of my most favorite bands ever.

A man once sang to me,
Look at you saving the world on your own
And I wonder how things gonna be
As the time here it passes so slow

In a city of devils we live
A city of devils we live

Find somebody to learn
Boy, you gotta love someone more than yourself
I can feel the fire of the city lights burn
And it's hard to find angels in Hell

Flying along, and I
Feel like I don't belong, and I
Can't tell right from the wrong
And why have I been here so long?

Questions I can't seem to find
To the answers I already have
And you can't see the sky here at night
So I guess I can't make my way back

What if I wanted you here right now
Would you fall in the fire burn me down?
If I wanted you here right now
Would you fall in the fire burn me down?
If I wanted you here right now...

In a city of devils we live
a city of devils we live

Flying along, and I
Feel like I don't belong, and I
Can't tell right from the wrong
And why have I been here so long?

I don't belong...
I've been here too long
...too long

"City of Devils" by Yellowcard. All emphasis added.



I work all night
For one more day that I can say I'm all alone
I just need time
And I will say what I believe and I'll come home

And all I know, is...

I never thought I would wake up in bed
watching the world coming down on my head
I'd sleep like a dog if you would never have said
this is the world coming down on your head

As life flies by
I'm not sure how I'm gonna do this all again
So line by line I write this down
And I'm just trying to find the end

And all I know, is....

I never thought I would wake up in bed
watching the world coming down on my head
I'd sleep like a dog if you would never have said,
this is the world coming down on your head
You gave it to me I remember it read,
you've got the world coming down on your head
There's nothing to fight for it's already dead
and this is the world coming down on my head

when will it all end
One of you moves the others follow you

I never thought I would wake up in bed
watching the world coming down on my head
I'd sleep like a dog if you would never have said,
this is the world coming down on your head
I'm not gonna swallow the lie that I'm fed
cause I want the world coming down on my head
You're gonna find out you're already dead
and I was the world coming down on your head

"Down on My Head" by Yellowcard. All emphasis added.



There, done. That wasn't so bad!

Wow. I completely forgot Yellowcard existed.

!!

Their newest album is their best yet I think. (These two are from their second newest album)

The cup is not half empty as pessimists say
As far as he's sees, nothing's left in the cup
A whole cup full of nothing for him to indulge
Since the voice of ambition has long since been shut up

A singer, a writer, he's not dreaming now of going nowhere
He gave heed to nothing, and all that he was....
Is just a tragedy

So he voyages in circles
Succeeds getting nowhere
And submits to the substance
That first got him there

Then in violent, frustration, he cries out to God or just no one
Is there a point to this madness and all that he was....
Is just a tragedy

He feels alone
His heart in his hand
He's alone
He feels alone
I feel....

Then on that last day he breaks
And he stood tall
And he yelled... and he takes his life



Poetic tragedy- the used...
