Ok so I bet you didn't expect to see me up here did you?

This is from Depeche Mode's Songs of Faith and Devotion and I just think it fits...


I would tell you about the things
They put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes

Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

I thought this was kinda fitting considering the those who left us....Victor, Sorrow, Ellie, Sebastian, etc....Im sure alot of characters are feeling this way now....(i know it doesnt totally apply but you can see what I mean)

ANGEL-

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction

oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there

so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

Ok, I found this song for Chance :D I hope you like it Matt.

Present Tense
by Pearl Jam

do you see the way that tree bends?
does it inspire?
leaning out to catch the sun's rays
a lesson to be applied
are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?
you can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
makes much more sense to live in the present tense
have you ideas on how this life ends?
checked your hands and studied the lines
have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?
seems that needlessly it's getting harder
to find an approach and a way to live
are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
makes much more sense to live in the present tense

I realise that it's not a song in the strict sense though poetry can arguabley be sung since it has meter, but I'm posting this for two reasons: I think that Catullus gets the sentiment many of the players would feel towards Sorrow, especially Jade and Tash. That, and I think it's a really cool poem.

Both the original and a translation is provided; the translation is my own. I have tried to remain as true to the literal meaning of the latin as I can.

Multas per gentes et multa per aequora vectus

Multas per gentes et multa per aequora vectus
advenio has miseras, frater, ad inferias
ut te postremo donarem munere mortis
et mutam nequiquam alloquerer cinerem.
Quandoquidem fortuna mihi tete abstulit ipsum,
heu miser indigne frater adempte mihi,
nunc tamen interea haec, prisco quae more parentum
tradita sunt tristi munere ad inferias,
accipe fraterno multum manantia fletu,
atque in perpetuum, frater, ave atque vale!

Through many peoples and many seas having been traveled,
I am brought to these wretched funeral rites, brother,
so that to you at last I was granting funeral service
and address your silent ashes in vain.
Since fortune took you yourself away,
alas, poor brother undeservedly taken from me,
now meanwhile these, by the ancient custom,
handed over gifts as a sad servie for these rights in honour of the dead,
accept these many flowing brotherly tears,
and forever, brother, hail and farewell!

Longview – Falling Without You

I saw you,
Right to you.
Control me,
Come over me.
One look from you,
You’d see me right through.
Come closer please
‘Cos I’m a sight,
For sore eyes
I’m through.

‘Cos I’m falling without you,
Crawling about you,
Stalling without you,
Do you know?
Though you’re walking away,
I still want you to stay,
‘Cos I’m falling without you,
Do you know?

Away I’m thorough,
If I can’t have you.
I’ll tell myself I’ll be OK
Another day or two.
And though I try,
I’ll see the look in your eye.
Come back to what
You know I’ll be,
Waiting her for you.

‘Cos I’m falling without you,
Crawling about you,
Stalling without you,
Do you know?
Though you’re walking away,
I still want you to stay,
‘Cos I’m falling without you,
Do you know?

‘Cos all I ever really want is you.
Is there nothing I can’t do?
Nothing I can’t say?

‘Cos I’m falling without you,
Crawling about you,
Stalling without you,
Falling without you
Crawling about you,
Stalling without you,
Falling without you
Crawling about you

And though you’re walking away,
I still want you to stay,
‘Cos I’m falling without you,
Do you know?

Bob leaves the bar for the evening, walks into Caritas and picks up the Mic.

Host: "So what do you have for us tonight sweetcakes?"

Bob: "This is a little song that's got me through some pretty tough times in the past..."

"Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the fame, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone and the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words won't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words won't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay

And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times

We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today"

Beautiful - Christina Aguilera

Host: "Well that was just... I think disturbing is the word. NEXT!"

yes, more from me. Isn't it typical? You spent months looking for one and then dozens appear all at the same time (could be becase I have lots of dirgey-type depressing songs (not Linkin Park :P @ Jamie)...*shruggs*)

Longview - Will you wait here?
September air comes cold.
Feelings rush back and unfold.
Speeding, crashing, burning through,
Memories in my mind of you.
Gone so fast too fast to catch,
Years have gone and can't come back.
So now I’ve closed my eyes,
Closing seconds of our time.

See the shore light up night sky.
See the beach swing summers high.
August shower after heat,
Smell of rain on dry concrete.
Feel the air turn cold around,
See leaves fall blur the ground.
Wet road slide slither by,
Catch reflections petrol sky.

Will you wait here?
Will you wait here?
It's coming around near.
Will you wait here?
Will you wait here?
Will you wait here?
It's coming around near.
Will you wait here?

When I feel I can't move on,
And my will is not so strong.
Moments of uncertainty,
Behind your smile I want to be.
Down the front where we used to talk,
Down the streets where we used to walk,
These places I will be.

Will you meet me?

While I'm still please do not shake me
While I'm still please do not wake me
'Cause I'm in another place
I’m in another place,
I’m in another place,
I’m in another place,
I’m in another place…

Not so sure about this one...it kinda fits I guess. Ah well, what the hell...

Sting - Brand New Day
How many of you people out there
Been hurt in some kind of love affair
And how many times do you swear that you'll never love again?

How many lonely, sleepless nights
How many lies, how many fights
And why would you want to put yourself through all that again?

"Love is pain," I hear you say
Love has a cruel and bitter way
Of paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain

How could it be that what you need the most
Can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
You never want to feel so sad and lost again

One day you could be looking
Through an old book in rainy weather
You see a picture of her smiling at you
When you were still together
You could be walking down the street
And who should you chance to meet
But that same old smile that you've been thinking of all day

You can turn the clock to zero, honey
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day

Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if she'll take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way

Turn the clock to zero, sister
You'll never know how much I missed her
Starting up a brand new day

Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across
Started up a brand new day

It could happen to you - just like it happened to me
There's simply no immunity - there's no guarantee
I say love's such a force - if you find yourself in it
And sometimes no reflection is there

Baby wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute

Turn the clock to zero, honey
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day

Turn the clock to zero, Mac
I'm begging her to take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way

Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across
Started up a brand new day

Turn the clock to zero buddy
Don't wanna be no fuddy duddy
Started up a brand new day

I'm the rhythm in your tune
I'm the sun and you're the moon
I'm a bat and you're the cave
You're the beach and I'm the wave
I’m the plow and you’re the land
You're the glove and I'm the hand
I'm the train and you're the station
I'm a flagpole to your nation - yeah

Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day

I'm the present to your future
You're the wound and I’m the suture
You're the magnet to my pole
I'm the devil in your soul
You're the pupil I'm the teacher
You're the church and I'm the preacher
You're the flower I'm the rain
You're the tunnel I'm the train

Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day

You're the crop to my rotation
You're the sum of my equation
I'm the answer to your question
If you follow my suggestion
We can turn this ship around
We'll go up instead of down
You're the pan and I'm the handle
You're the flame and I'm the candle

Stand up all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted every boy and every girl
Stand up all you lovers in the world
We're starting up a brand new day

this is one of my own songs but i think it fits how Jeet is feeling right now

losing my mind

feels like im slipping away
nothing left to keep me sane
as the night draws in and the light grows dim
my mind thinks back to those better days

am i losing my mind?
looking for the answers i might never find
losing my mind
the man i was i left behind

ive got nothing much to show
and i dont know where i should go
as i lie in bed a voice inside my head
tells me what i need to know

am i losing my mind?
looking for the answers i might never find
losing my mind
the man i was i left behind

maybe life is just a game
when its over things will change
im living on the edge of a 50 storey ledge
but im the only person left to blame

am i losing my mind?
looking for the answers i might never find
losing my mind
the man i was i left behind

losing my mind
losing my mind
losing my mind
looking for the answers i might never find

April showers
by Haden

Would you run away from life
Till there's nothing there but me
I want to catch you when you fall
See the things that you have seen

I want to feel all of your heartbeats
Wipe away every tear you weep
Hold you tight when you are afraid
Live the life, live the life that we once made

I can feel the April showers
I can see the sunshine through the rain
I can see the stars up in the sky
And I can heal all of your pain

I want to feel all of your heartbeats
Wipe away every tear you weep
Hold you tight when you are afraid
Live the life, live the life that we once made

Now it's time to go away
Time to find a better place
I never meant to make you cry
So wipe the tears away from your face

I want to feel all of your heartbeats
Wipe away every tear you weep
Hold you tight when you are afraid
Live the life, live the life that we once made

Once made
Once made
Once made

I want to feel all of your heartbeats
Wipe away every tear you weep
Hold you tight when you are afraid
Live the life, live the life that we once made

ACHE
(E. Stefani)
from the album No Doubt

Woke up this morning and felt no too cool - ooh ooh ooh ooh
'Cause every time I tried to make my mouth move - ooh ooh ooh ooh
The pain I'm having is so discomforting
Please make this suffering go away

Wo wo wo wo I told my mom what I was feeling
And how long I've been dealing with it
I knew it was coming, but didn't know how soon
She said I've reached another adolescent monsoon - oon

OOoo Ahh... the pain is tremendous
Why can't I take it like a man
OOoo Ahh... the pain is horrendous
Why can't you lend a helpin' hand

He was a well-educated man, had his degree in medicine
I noticed his hairy hands... he was a very, very hairy man
He looked right down in, shook his head and then said
"these teeth must be pulled right away hey!"

OOoo Ahh... the pain is tremendous
Why can't I take it like a man
OOoo Ahh... the pain is horrendous
Why can't you lend a helpin' hand
OOoo Ahh... the pain is tremendous
Why can't I take it like a man
OOoo Ahh... the pain is horrendous
Why can't you lend a helpin' hand

He turned around, rolled up his sleeve
I rolled my eyes then suddenly
A horrible pain grew, the next thing that I knew
The doc had pulled my wisdom teeth... OUT!
Well along with my teeth my money also left me
As he made out the bill, I was moaning
OOoo Ahh... the pain is tremendous
Where the hell is my prescription.... of codeine?

Ooh but when will I speak, how long until my mouth feels natural?
How long will they bleed, when will they heal, where's the real meal?
How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel?
How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel? How do you feel?

I feel good... I feel great... there's no pain... there's no ache
I feel good... I feel great... just let me recuperate
I feel good... I feel great... there's no pain... there's no ache
I feel good... I feel great... just let me recuperate

Because the codeine has left me drowsy, leave me be... just let me sleep!

Black - Pearl Jam

Hey ooh.
Sheets of empty canvas.
Untouched sheets of clay were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her soul. As the earth to the sun.
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn.
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything.
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore.

And now my bitter hands shade beneath the clouds of what was everything.
All the pictures have all been washed in black. Tattooed every day.

I take a walk outside. I'm surrounded by some kids at play.
Oh, I can feel their laughter. Oh, so why do I sear?
Ooh, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head.
I'm spinning. Oh, I'm spinning.
How quick the sun can drop away.

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything.
All the pictures have all been washed in black. Tattooed everything.
All the love gone bad turned my world to black.
Tattooed all I see. All that I am. All I'll be. Yeah.

Uh huh... Uh huh... Ooh.
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life.
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky but why, why, why can't it be, oh, can't it be mine?
Oh... Ohh yeah oh.
Do do do do do do do Yeah... Yeah...
Hi.
Yeah.

Bring Me To Life

how can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb
without a soul
my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

now that I know what I’m without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

Jadyn's picture

Gosh Saadia... This is a little freaky.

I was just pondering on my next steps for Jade's future and one question that popped into my head was whether she'd ever be able to fall in love again and whether she had anything left inside of her to give after giving so much to Sorrow...

Then 'Bring Me To Life' comes on the radio and it just seemed so damn apt should Jade ever meet someone else, the angst, guilt and longing she would feel at her need to have someone to love again... So I went to search for the lyrics... Then I come to the Karaoke Bar and find that you've already posted it! Heh... Talk about a coincidence, eh? :)

I love the song, by the way... So I'm gonna post the lyrics all over again... Heh heh heh... :) Evanescence kicks ass!

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life

(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch,
Without your love,darling
Only you are the life among the dead

All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
(There must be something more)
Bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life

I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
Bring me to life

Oh wow this is freaky April,

I actually heard this another Evanescence song and it kept hitting me in the head as something Jade wud sing for Sorrow :cry: its kinda made me sad everytime i hear it.

My Immortal
by Evanescence

I'm so tired of being here
Supressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time can not erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you screamed I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating mind
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time can not erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you screamed I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

    listen,
    wear your headphones,
    and I’ll whisper you the code
    of a helper application
    that you can download

    it’s called "Remember"
    because no one knows what happens next
    time travel is lonely

"Time travel is Lonely" by John Vanderslice

The host begins to laugh. His reaction seems to hurt Reah and he stands and gives her a quick hug to let her know it's okay. "Sweet thing," he says with his silky voice, "you have a lesson or two to learn about lonliness. I can see the lives rotating around you in the past and in the future. Your life is full in every time. You don't know from lonely."

He pats her on the ass and she turn with fire in her eyes and belts him one.

"I should have seen that too," he says from the floor as she storms out.

Ok, meant to post this a while ago but got...distracted. Actually, it pretty suits now as well. This is Chance's feelings towards Morris for what he did to Alessa (and now Cole)...maybe it's a bit extreme but what the hell

Nickelback - Just For

I want to take his eyes out
Just for looking at you
Yes I do
And I want to take his hands off
Just for touching you
Yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind down
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
And I want to make him regret
Life since the day he met you
Yes I do
And I want to make him take back
All that he took from you
Yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind down
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind down
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do

Oz walks into the darkened club and takes a seat in the back. Onstage the Host is pearing into the darkness. He steps up to the mike and takes it himself. "This one is dedicated to the warrior sitting in the darkness," he says squinting, "Never forget who you were, or who you want to be. This one is for you"

Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.

I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Pop Video Version -

Int: The Home of Kate and Galen Eldridge - Bedroom

Galen wakes up in his bed, the sun is streaming in through the windows and Kate is sleeping peacefully in his arms. The music starts..

"I missed you so much
That I begged you to fly and see me
You must've broke down
Coz you finally said that would
But now that you're here
I just feel like I'm constantly dreaming
Coz something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feelin' way too damn good..."

He sighs conentedly, trailing his hand across her bare shoulder and smiling as Kate stirs in her sleep.

"For 48 hours I don't think that we left my hotel room
Should show you the sights
Coz I'm sure that I said that I would
We gotta make love just one last time in the shower
Well something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feelin' way too damn good..."

He climbs out of bed, pulling on his robe and walks over to the window, looking out into the street he sees children riding their bikes. He smiles and turns back into the room, sitting on the edge of the bed while Kate continues to sleep...

"And it's like, every time I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down and
Where it lands is where it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
Coz something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feeling way too dam good, oh
Feelin' way too damn good!"

He stands up again, doing a twirl followed by a slide across the floor. He dances through the room into the corridor and continues to walk towards the camera as he sings...

"Sometimes I think best if left in the memory
It's better kept inside than left for good
Lookin' back each time they tried to tell me
Well something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feelin' way too damn good!"

Galen comes to the stairs and slides down the banister, almost falling over as he slides off the end and slides across the floor, doing several more twirls. He picks up a photo of himself, Kate and Emma from the table and looks at it while he does several more twirls.

"And it's like, every time I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down and
Where it lands is where it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
Coz something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feeling way too dam good, oh
Feelin' way too damn good
Oh, oh, feelin' way too damn good..."

He flings his arms out wide as the camera takes an arial shot of him in the centre of the room.

"I missed you so much
That I begged you to fly and see me
You must've broke down
Coz you finally said that would
But now that you're here
I just feel like I'm constantly dreaming
Coz something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feelin' way too damn good!"

He replaces the photo on the table, taking one last look at it before marching through the living room and into the hall, flinging the door open. He continues into the street, his slippers hitting the pavement as he walks into the middle of the road still singing at the top of his voice. People walking past stop and stare before they join behind him, dancing and doing cartwheels.

"And it's like, every time I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down and
Where it lands is where it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
Coz something's gotta go wrong
Coz I'm feeling way too damn good, oh, oh...."

Street Folk:"He's feeling way too damn good.. oh, oh..."

"Feelin' way too damn good!
Feelin' way too damn good!"

Galen standing in the middle of the street with his arms open wide, looking up to the sky as do the other people following him and the children on their bikes ride around them in sequence.

james steps up to the mike " um this song is kinda like my life"

Biohazard-Sellout

So many times I've been lied to, blind to
The ways of the world I've been lied to, blind to
I never understand how this master plan speaking man to man
Could ever give a damn
Hypocritical stance don't make me piss in my pants
You never care unless there's money to make
I'll never sacrifice, I got no time in my life
To fuck around with something that I know is fake
You want to sell your soul, I'll never sell my soul

You never understand exactly what kind of man that I am
'till you wear my shoes
You think I envy your life but you never realize I always live the way that I choose
Feel so much regret but you never let
That make you live the truth
You point fingers and lie, the harsh truth you deny
Life is a game that you don't want to lose

You want to sell your soul, I'll never sell my soul

and be the one you disrespect and lie to
the one you really want to live your life through
the soul you sell is really your own
because I'm the only one you can never lie to

Sellout-you want to sell your soul
Sellout-you want to take control
Sellout-you want to play that role
Sellout-I'll never sell my soul

Sellout-sell your soul

Sellout-sell your soul

Since back in the day, I've been up in this game
Doing much of the same way, real, I never did it for fame or glory
For all these years, with no respect from my peers
I kept it real and told my story
Sellout-This shit is real and I can never be fake
I'll do whatever it takes within reason
Sellout-Made so many mistakes, never caught any breaks
I live and die for whatever I believe in

Sellout-You want to sell your soul, I'll never sell my soul
and be the one you disrespect and lie to
the one you really want to live your life through
the soul you sell is really your own
because I'm the only one you can never lie to

I was listening to White Flag when this song came on during my last collab with Heather, concidering what happened there between Kate and Tash I found it spookily accurate, :? so here goes -

Tash walks on the stage and picks up the mic and starts singing to her friend Kate who sits in the crowd nursing a solitary drink.

I'm coming round to open the blinds,
You can't hide here any longer.
My God you need to rinse those puffy eyes,
You can't lie still any longer.

And yes they'll ask you where you've been,
And you'll have to tell them, again and again…

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day,
But I promise you you'll see the sun again.
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness…
And I promise you you'll see the sun again.

Come on take my hand…
We're going for a walk, I know you can.
You can wear anything as long as it's not black.
And please don't mourn forever,
She's not coming back.

And yes they'll ask you where you've been,
And you'll have to tell them again and again…

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day,
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again.
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness…
And I promise you you'll see the sun again.
I promise you you'll see the sun again.

Do you remember telling me you’d found the sweetest thing of all?
You said one day this was worth dying for.
So be thankful you knew her at all.
But it's no more.

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day,
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again.
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness…
And I promise you you'll see the sun again.
And I promise you you'll see the sun again.
And I promise you you'll see the sun again.

Finally found a song I thought was good for this.

*Cole steps up on the stage, just after returning from Israel*

Too alarming now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence
Say it aloud
Use that evidence
Race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence
Say it aloud
Use that evidence
Race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Kudos my hero
Leaving all the best
You know my hero
The one that's on

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

The last post with Tash made me think of this song for Kate, I think it's pretty apt for what she's going through at the moment.

Kate steps up to the mike, the house lights glare down at her and she has to shield her eyes to see properly as she begins to sing...

She looks to the sun
Help her to carry on
Breaking down all the years
Wondering how she got here

She drifts through the sky
Counting the reasons why
How my life turned so fast
Remembering all of the past

All the changes, and all the mistakes
Foolishly laughing at things that
Words that she said

She looks to the stars
Breaking
Time to follow the heart
Her world is falling apart

And the turning of every new page
A book on a shelf that is there to remain
Breaking the walls as she’s tearing them down
As she is starting to drown

She's waiting for love
She's waiting, waiting for love
She’s waiting, waiting for love
She's waiting…
Waiting for so long

She prays to the Gods
Telling how she needs someone
Help me find where I am… today
Life is looking very grey

All the changes, all the mistakes
Foolishly laughing at the things that
Everything that she says!

Waiting for love
She's waiting, waiting for love
She’s waiting, waiting for love
She's waiting, waiting for love!

I'm waiting for a new day to rise
Conversation to make sense to me and my mind
I need someone to lift me right off my feet
And I want it, and I need it, and I'll leave it all behind

And all the changes I've made
And I remember the words, that you'll never say!

Waiting for love
She's waiting, waiting for love
She’s waiting, waiting for love
She's waiting, waiting for love

She’s waiting, waiting for love
She's waiting, waiting for love
She’s waiting, waiting for love
She’s waiting, waiting for love

She’s waiting, waiting for love!
Waiting for love!

She’s waiting, waiting for love
She’s waiting, waiting for love

OH! OH! Yeah!
OH! OH! Yeah! Yeah!

She’s waiting, waiting for love

She looks to the sun

I Will Not Forget You
Sarah McLachlan

I remember the nights I watched you lay sleeping
Your body gripped by some far away dream
Well I was so scared and so in love then
And so lost in all of you that I had seen

But no one ever talked in the darkness
No voice ever added fuel to the fire
No light ever shone in the doorway
Deep in the hollow of earthly desires
But if in some dream there was brightness
If in some memory some sort of sigh
And flesh be revived in the shadows
Blessed our bodies would lay so entwined
And I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you

I remember when you left in the morning at daybreak
So silent you stole from my bed
To go back to the one who possesses your soul
And I back to the life that I dread
So I ran like the wind to the water
Please don't leave me again I cried
And I drew bitter tears at the ocean
But all that came back was the tide....

But no one ever talked in the darkness
No voice ever added fuel to the fire
No light ever shone in the doorway
Deep in the hollow of earthly desires
But if in some dream there was brightness
If in some memory some sort of sigh
And flesh be revived in the shadows
Blessed our bodies would lay so entwined
And I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you.

The Host looks around the club and sees a lone man sat at the bar, he’s been there for a while now, slowly drinking his troubles into oblivion. The Host slips down on a chair next to the man and points for the barman to set up another round of drinks.

Galen looks up, The Host can see the troubles of this guy in his face but it’s the pain in his soul that he wants to hear. As the drinks arrive he places his green hand over the glass.

“Not yet sweet cheeks, I wanna hear you sing.”

Galen looks disconsolate, his head barely raised, “I don’t feel like singing.”

“Then all the more reason, hey, sometimes when the pain is all you feel inside, singing is a way to let it out and it sounds pretty damn good too don’t you think?” he looks at the man and slides the drink across to him, “just let it out.”

Reluctantly Galen takes the drink and swallows it in one gulp before walking up to the empty stage and picking up the mic As he looks out at the crowd of expectant faces he feels the words building up inside him…

“I think I'm drowning,
Asphyxiated.
I wanna break the spell

You're something beautiful…
A contradiction.
I wanna play the game,
I want the friction.

You… will be,
The death… of me.
Yeah, you… will be
The death… of me.

*Quiet drumming, growing louder*

Bury it,
I won't let you bury it…
I won't let you smother it…
I won't let you murder it…

Our time is running out…
And our time is running out…
You can't push it underground,
We can't stop it screaming out…

*Drum Solo*

I wanted freedom,
But I'm restricted.
I tried to give you up,
But I'm addicted.
Now that you know I'm trapped,
Sense of elation.
You'll never dream of breaking this fixation.

You… will squeeze… the life… out of me…

Bury it,
I won't let you bury it.
I won't let you smother it,
I won't let you murder it…

Our time is running out,
And our time is running out.
You can't push it underground,
We can't stop it screaming out…
How did it come to this?

Uh oh oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Uh oh oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Uh oh oh, oh, yeah, yeah, oh, oh, yeah!!

*Drum Solo*

You will… suck… the life… out of me.

Bury it…
I won't let you bury it…
I won't let you smother it…
I won't let you murder it…

Our time is running out,
And our time is running out.
You can't push it underground,
We can't stop it screaming out…

Uh oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Uh oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Galen sets down the Mic; his head hanging low as he walks back over to the bar and sits down. The Host just looks at him for a few moments before gesturing to the barman.

“Get this guy whatever he wants, he needs it.”

Kate watches Galen walk over to the bar as she takes to the stage and picks up the mic from where he left it.

You look into my eyes,
I go out of my mind
I can't see anything
’Cos this love's got me blind
I can't help myself
I can't break the spell
I can't even try

I'm in over my head
You got under skin
I’ve got no strength at all
In the state that I'm in
And my knees are weak
And my mouth can't speak
Fell too far this time

Baby, I'm too lost in you
Caught in you
Lost in everything about you
So deep, I can't sleep
I can't think
I just think about the things that you do… (you do)
I'm too lost in you

Well you whisper to me
And I shiver inside
You undo me and move me
In ways undefined
And you're all I see
And you're all I need
Help me baby
(Help me baby)
Help me baby
(Help me now)

’Cos I'm slipping away
Like the sand to the tide
Falling into your arms,
Falling into your eyes.
If you get too near
I might disappear
I might lose my mind

Baby, I'm too lost in you,
Caught in you
Lost in everything about you
So deep, I can't sleep
I can't think
I just think about the things that you do… (you do)
I'm too lost in you

(Too lost in you)
I'm going in crazy in love for you baby
(I can't eat and I can't sleep)
I'm going down like a stone in the sea
Yeah, no one can rescue me
(No one can rescue me)

My baby
Oooh, baby, baby

Baby, I'm too lost in you
Caught in you
Lost in everything about you
So deep, I can't sleep
I can't think
I just think about the things that you do
I'm too lost in you

I'm lost in you
I'm lost in you
I'm lost in everything about you
So deep, I can't sleep
I can't think
I just think about the things that you do
I'm too lost in you…

Right
Right back to school
Check it
Look back I sift through all the cliques
Roaming' the halls all year, making me sick
While everyone's out tryin to make the cut
What?
And when you think you know me right I switch it up
Behind the walls smokin' cigarettes and sippin' vodka
I profess to catch a cab, ain't no one can stop us
Give me a break about some other mess
What were you?
Act like it's everything you got
Push back the square
Now that you need her but you don't
So there you go
Cause back in school
We are the leaders of it all
Stop that, quit! - All that, quit!
Who ruined it? You did! Now grab a notebook and a pen
Start taking notes, I'm being everyone who's on the top
You think we're on the same page - but, oh we're not!
I'll be the man, watch your backpack and the pencils
Just like he now flippin it, why you just keep it simple?
You just can't go wrong rocking' the clothes
Coppin' the stance
'Cause really is everything that you got!
Push back the square
Now that you need her but you don't
So there you go!
Cause back in school
We are the leaders of it all
So
Transpose
Or stop your lies
It's what you do
Transpose
Or stop your lies
So run
So why don't you run, so why don't you run
So why don't you run back to school
So why don't you run, so why don't you run
All you are - Now I'm on the next page
All you are - It's time to close the book up
All you are - I'm on the next page
All you are - Close the book up now

Try" Nelly Furtado

All I know
Is everything is not as it's sold
but the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow

Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try

I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life
I thought I had designed for me

Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Try

All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love

I guess this will sort of make more sense once you get to know Simryn more which actually means I should post more... it'll happen... eventually...

Lorne closes his eyes and holds the bridge of his nose. The post-happy-hour crowd had left and the pre-barfly crowd had yet to arrive. He wondered about how Angel was doing. It had been a long time since he had seen him, and even then he had been nuttier than a squirrel's breakfast.

"Babe, pour me something with two Alka-Seltzer in it, and make it a double," he said to the cute barmaid behind the counter. She smiled and hurried to fill his request. He liked her not only becasue she knew better than to upset the boss, but becasue she never ever sang, hummed, whistled, or mouthed along to the tunes that always filled Caritas. For that she was worth her weight in Alka Seltzer.

Lorne heard someone step onto the stage and heard them select a CD from the carousel. He heard the muted horns of a jazzy beat. *Soul Coughing* he thought to himself but didn't look to the stage. He didn't have to. The first words cut into his brain like a knife.

    exits to freeways twisted like knots on the fingers jewels cleaving skin between breasts
    your cadillac reads 400 horses over blue lines
    you are going to Recida to make love to a model from Ohio
    whose real name you don't know
    you spin like the cadillac was overturning down a cliff on television
    and the radio is on
    and the radio man is speaking
    and the radio man says women were a curse
    so men built Paramount studios
    and men built Columbia studios
    and men built Los Angeles
    it is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles
    it is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles
    and the radio man says it is a beautiful night out there
    and the radio man says rock and roll lives
    and the radio man says it is a beautiful night out there in Los Angeles
    you live in Los Angeles and you are going to Recida
    we are all in some way or another going to Recida some day, to die
    and the radio man laughs because the radio man fucks a model too
    gone savage for teenagers with automatic weapons and boundless love
    gone savage for teenagers who are aesthetically pleasing,
    in other words, fly
    Los Angeles beckons the teenagers to come to her on buses
    Los Angeles loves love
    it is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles
    it is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles
    i am going to Los Angeles to build a screenplay about lovers
    who murder eachother
    i am going to Los Angeles to see my own name on a screen
    five feet long and luminous
    as the radio man says it is 5 a.m. and the sun has charred
    the other end of the world and come back to us
    and painted the smoke over our heads an imperial violet
    it is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles
    it is 5 a.m. and you are listening to Los Angeles
    you are listening
    you are listening
    you are listening....
    to Los Angeles.
    "Screenwriter's Blues" - Soul Coughing

When the pounding stopped, Lorne realized he was lying on the floor and was drenched in Alka-Seltzer. The barmaid was holding him and looking concerned and a couple of regulars were there looking down on him in pity. "Did anyone see who was onstage? Anyone?" he was answered by mute head-shakes and puzzled expressions.

*Shit,* he thought, *I gotta get outta town for a few days.*

"Bar's closed folks. I'll be in Vegas if anyone needs me!" he souted before shoo-ing everyone out. *If I move quickly, I might be able get packed and on the road by midnight.*

Outside, the mysterious figure got back in his limo and rode back to the Watchers' Council new LA Field Office.

Kate walks into the deserted Caritas and looks around, the once lively bar is completely desolate as though everyone just suddenly up and disappeared. Half empty glasses sit abandoned on tables where burnt up candles still smoulder, from the far end of the bar there is a hissing sound as the microphone lays at the foot of the stage, discarded.

Kate walks over to the stage and picks up the metal cylinder, turning it between her hands until she begins to sing to the missing crowds...

Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now He's gone

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try?

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye.

As the music fades Kate takes one last look around the empty club before replacing the microphone where she found it.

"Thanks for listening."

A corrupted Nikolai gets up on the stage with a couple of hoods with him, shoving money into Lorne's pocket before throwing him off the stage uncermoniously for not moving fast enough. The sounds of rock music fill the lounge.

Bobby's got a gun that he keeps beneath his pillow (oh yeah)
Out on the street your chances are zero (oh yeah)
Take a look around you (come on down)
It ain't too complicated
You're messin' with Murder Incorporated

Now you check over your shoulder everywhere that you go (oh yeah)
Walkin' down the street, there's eyes in every shadow (oh yeah)
You better take a look around you (come on down)
That equipment you got's so outdated
You can't compete with Murder Incorporated
Everywhere you look now there's Murder Incorporated

So you keep a little secret down deep inside your dresser drawer
From dealing with the heat you're feelin' down on the killin' floor
No matter where you step you feel you're never out of danger
So the comfort that you keep's a gold-plated snub-nose thirty-two
I heard that you

You got a job downtown, man it leaves your head cold (oh yea)
And everywhere you look life ain't got no soul (oh yeah)
That apartment you live in feels like it's just a place to hide
When your walkin' down the streets you won't meet no one eye to eye
Now the cops reported you as just another homicide
I can tell that you was just frustrated
from livin' with Murder Incorporated

Incorporated
Everywhere you look now
Murder Incorporated
Down on your knees
Murder Incorporated
Everywhere that you turn it's murder Incorporated

Kyle stubs his cigarette out with one darting motion. He downs the rest of his drink, clenching his jaw against the strength of the alcahol, and ignores Lorne's look as he swings off his stool and heads towards the stage, stopping only to shove some vamp off.

He grabs the mike, pauses whilst the music builds, then closes his eyes and lets his alchol-influenced, pain-filled voice do the rest of the work.

I'm no good,
I feel too small,
Something's gonna burn.
Sink on you,
Drunken highways
Someone take the wheel.

Faded in the blackout you left me in.
It's safer on the outside.
I'm swimming in
This kerosene it's hard to breathe,
Static’s got me down.

I can't sleep,
I'm disconnected
Everything went wrong.
And certain stars,
Are sad and bruised like
Someone's cheating heart.

Faded in the blackout you left me in.
It's safer on the outside.
I'm swimming in
This kerosene it's hard to breathe,
Static’s got me down.

Faded in the blackout you left me in.
It's safer on the outside.
I'm swimming in
This kerosene it's hard to breathe,
Static’s got me down.

Faded in the blackout you left me in (left me in),
It's safer on the outside (on the outside).
I'm swimming in
This kerosene it's hard to breathe (hard to breathe),
Static’s got me down.

Got me down, got me down, got me down.
Safer on the outside, safer on the outside,
Safer on the outside.

American Hi-Fi - Safer On The Outside

Once he was finished, Kyle staggers off the stage and into the night; probably to throw up and fall asleep, and in the morning to wake anew with all such thoughts relegated to the darkest reaches of his mind.

Ryan manages to escape from Ambrose's confinement long enough for him to sing one song.

No sleep...
No sleep until I'm done with finding the answer
Won't stop...
Won't stop before I find the cure for this cancer

Sometimes, I feel like going down, I'm so disconnected
Somehow, I know that I am haunted to be wanted

I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

They say...
That I must learn to kill before I can feel safe
But I...
I'd rather kill myself than turn into their slave

Sometimes, I feel that I should go and play with the thunder
Somehow, I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder

I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

Lately, I've been walking, walking in circles
Watching, waiting for something
Feel me, touch me, heal me
Come take me higher

I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

I've been watching,
I've been waiting,
I've been searching,
I've been living,
for tomorrows....

In the shadows....

In the shadows.....

I've been waiting...

In the Shadows - by The Rasmus

I found time to post!!!!!

Sometime in the near future:

A positively lathered Simon drags himself up to the mic and belts out this soon-to-be-appropriate tune from A Perfect Circle:

tillin' my own grave to keep me level
jam another dragon down that hole
diggin' to the rhythm and the echo
of a solitary siren
one that pushes me along and leaves me so

desperate and
ravenous
so weak and
powerless
over you

someone feed the monkey
while i dig in search of china
white as dracula
as I approach the bottom

desperate and
ravenous
so weak and
powerless
over you

little angel go away
come again some other day
devil has my ear today
Ill never hear a word you say
you promised i would find a little
solace and some piece of mind
whatever just as long as i dont feel so

desperate and
ravenous
so weak and
powerless

desperate and
ravenous
so weak and
powerless

over

over you
