Shinedown - Monster

 
Good for you, you fooled everybody
Good for you, you fooled everyone
Good for you, now you're somebody
Good for you, you fooled everyone

Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Don't get angry, don't discourage
Take a shot of liquid courage

'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
And there's no coming back and they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
And there's no going back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
Yeah, my monsters are real

Good for you, you hurt everybody
Good for you, you hurt everyone
Good for you, you love nobody
Good for you, you owe no one

Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Call a doctor, say a prayer
Choose a God you think is fair

'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
And there's no coming back and they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
And there's no going back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
'Cause my monsters are real

Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Don't get angry, don't discourage
Take a shot of liquid courage

Leave a light on if you're able
'Cause we both know you're unstable
Call a doctor, say a prayer
Choose a God you think is fair

'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
And there's no coming back and they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
And there's no going back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
Yeah, my monsters are real 

 

Apocalyptica ft. Brent Smith - Not Strong Enough

 
I'm not strong enough to stay away.
Can't run from you.
I just run back to you.
Like a moth I'm drawn into your flame.
Say my name,
But it's not the same.

You look in my eyes.
I'm stripped of my pride.
And my soul surrenders,
And you bring my heart to its knees.

And it's killin' me when you're away.
I wanna leave and I wanna stay.
And I'm so confused,
So hard to choose
Between the pleasure and the pain.

And I know it's wrong, and I know it's right.
Even if I try to win the fight,
My heart would overrule my mind.
And I'm not strong enough to stay away.

I'm not strong enough to stay away.
What can I do?
I would die without you.
In your presence my heart knows no shame.
I'm not to blame
'Cause you bring my heart to its knees.

And it's killin' me when you're away.
And I wanna leave and I wanna stay.
And I'm so confused,
So hard to choose
Between the pleasure and the pain.

And I know it's wrong, and I know it's right.
Even if I try to win the fight,
My heart would overrule my mind.
And I'm not strong enough to stay away.

There's nothing I can do.
My heart is chained to you.
And I can't get free.
Look what this love's done to me.

And it's killin' me when you're away.
And I wanna leave and I wanna stay.
And I'm so confused,
So hard to choose
Between the pleasure and the pain.

And I know it's wrong, and I know it's right.
Even if I try to win the fight,
My heart would overrule my mind.
And I'm not strong enough to stay away.

Not strong enough, strong enough
Not strong enough, strong enough to stay away
Not strong enough, strong enough
Not strong enough, strong enough
I'm not strong enough to stay away 

 

Daughtry - It's Not Over

 
I was blown away
What could I say?
It all seemed to make sense
You've taken away everything
And I can't deal with that
I try to see the good in life
But good things in life are hard to find
We'll blow it away, blow it away

Can we make this something good?
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around

Let's start over
Try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over

I've taken all I could take
And I cannot wait
We're wasting too much time
Being strong, holding on
Can't let it bring us down
My life with you means everything
So I won't give up that easily
I'll blow it away, blow it away

Can we make this something good?
'Cause it's all misunderstood
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around

Let's start over
Try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over

We can't let this get away
Let it out, let it out
Don't get caught up in yourself
Let it out

Let's start over
Try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over

Let's start over
It's not over, yeah
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over 

 

Halestorm - Familiar Taste Of Poison

 
Drink the wine, my darling, you said
Take your time and consume all of it
But the roses were only to drain my inspiration
The promises were spoiled before they left your lips and...

I breathe you in again just to feel you
Underneath my skin, holding on to
The sweet escape is always laced with a familiar taste of poison

I tell myself that you're no good for me
I wish you well, but desire never leaves
I could fight this til the end
But maybe I don't want to win

I breathe you in again just to feel you
Underneath my skin, holding on to
The sweet escape is always laced with a familiar taste of poison

I don't wanna be saved, I don't wanna be sober
I want you on my mind, in my dreams behind these eyes
And I won't wake up, no not this time

I breathe you in again just to feel you
Underneath my skin, holding on to
The sweet escape is always laced with a familiar taste of poison

A familiar taste of poison
A familiar taste
Of poison

Stone Sour - Hesitate

 
You were my fire, so I burned... til' there was nothing left of me
I... I touched your face, I held you close... til' I could barely breathe
Why give me hope, then give me up... just to be the death of me
Save the rest of me...

Cuz I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore - you hesitate

Now... now and then, you come around, like there's something left for me
We were one... we were everything
I'm still here... but I'll just keep the rest of me

Cuz I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore - you hesitate

We never made it... you hesitated... I don't believe

That I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore - you hesitate
Cuz I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore - you hesitate - hesitate

You were my fire, so I burned... now there's nothing left of me...

 

El Golfo (Lanzarote)


 

Black Label Society - In This River

 
I've been around this world
Yet I see no end
All shall fade to black again and again
This storm that's broken me
My only friend

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

Withdrawn I step away
Just to find myself
The door is closed again
The only one left
This storm that's broken me
My only friend

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back 

 

Mako - Smoke Filled Room

 
Isn't it a little late
Shouldn't you fly away
Little dove with cigarettes
Show 'em that you can hold your breath

I heard about a girl
Buried her dolls and lost her curls
Painted on lipstick red
Grew herself up and then she'd

Walk into a smoke filled room
Oh no one could keep their eyes off you
Have a little drink or two
Oh how could you be that girl I knew

Walk into a smoke filled room
Little black dress and mama's shoes
Isn't it a bit too soon
Oh how could you be that girl I knew
Oh how could you be that girl I knew

Walk into a smoke filled room
Oh I believe love will follow you
Isn't it a bit too soon
Oh how could you be that girl I knew

Take a step around the room
And every head keeps turning too
Little dove, you fight 'em back
Show em you're so much more than that

I heard about a girl
Buried her dolls and lost her curls
Painted on lipstick red
Grew herself up and then she'd

Walk into a smoke filled room
Oh no one could keep their eyes off you
Have a little drink or two
Oh how could you be that girl I knew

Walk into a smoke filled room
Little black dress and mama's shoes
Isn't it a bit too soon
Oh how could you be that girl I knew
Oh how could you be that girl I knew

Walk into a smoke filled room
Oh I believe love will follow you
Isn't it a bit too soon
Oh how could you be that girl I knew 

 

SYML - Where's My Love

 
Cold bones, yeah, that's my love
She hides away, like a ghost

Ooh, does she know that we bleed the same?
Ooh, don't wanna cry but I break that way

Cold sheets, oh, where's my love?
I am searching high, I'm searching low in the night

Ooh, does she know that we bleed the same?
Ooh, don't wanna cry but I break that way

Did she run away? Did she run away? I don't know
If she ran away, if she ran away, come back home
Just come home

I got a fear, oh, in my blood
She was carried up into the clouds high above

Ooh, If you bled, I bleed the same
Ooh, If you're scared, I'm on my way

Did you run away? Did you run away? I don't need to know
But if you ran away, if you ran away, come back home
Just come home 

 

Duncan Laurence - Arcade

 
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

A broken heart is all that's left
I'm still fixing all the cracks
Lost a couple of pieces when
I carried it, carried it, carried it home
I'm afraid of all I am
My mind feels like a foreign land
Silence ringing inside my head
Please, carry me, carry me, carry me home

I've spent all of the love I saved
We were always a losing game
Small-town boy in a big arcade
I got addicted to a losing game

Ooh, ooh
All I know, all I know
Loving you is a losing game

How many pennies in the slot?
Giving us up didn't take a lot
I saw the end 'fore it begun
Still I carried, I carried, I carry on

Ooh, ooh
All I know, all I know
Loving you is a losing game
Ooh, ooh
All I know, all I know
Loving you is a losing game

I don't need your games, game over
Get me off this roller-coaster

Ooh, ooh
All I know, all I know
Loving you is a losing game
Ooh, ooh
All I know, all I know
Loving you is a losing game

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 

 

Chord Overstreet - Hold On

 
Loving and fighting
Accusing, denying
I can't imagine a world with you gone
The joy and the chaos, the demons we're made of
I'd be so lost if you left me alone
You locked yourself in the bathroom
Lying on the floor when I break through
I pull you in to feel your heartbeat
Can you hear me screaming "please don't leave me"?

Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Let me take your hand, I'll make it right
I swear to love you all my life
Hold on, I still need you

Long endless highway, you're silent beside me
Driving a nightmare I can't escape from
Helplessly praying, the light isn't fading
Hiding the shock and the chill in my bones
They took you away on a table
I pace back and forth as you lay still
They pull you in to feel your heartbeat
Can you hear me screaming, "please don't leave me"?

Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Let me take your hand, I'll make it right
I swear to love you all my life
Hold on, I still need you

I don't wanna let go
I know I'm not that strong
I just wanna hear you
Saying baby, let's go home
Let's go home
Yeah, I just wanna take you home

Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you

Mabel - Don't Call Me Up

 
When I'm underneath the bright lights
When I'm tryna have a good time
'Cause I'm good now you ain't mine
Now, now, now, now, don't call me up
When you're looking at my photos
Getting hot, losing control
You want me more now I let go
Now, now, now, now

I'm over you and I don't need your lies no more
'Cause the truth is, without you, boy, I'm stronger
And I know you said that I changed with my cold heart
But it was your game that left scars
Ooh, I'm over you

Don't call me up
I'm going out tonight
Feeling good now you're outta my life
Don't wanna talk about us
Gotta leave it behind
One drink and you're outta my mind
Now, now take it up
Baby, I'm on a high
You're alone, going out of your mind
When I'm here up in the club
And I don't wanna talk
So don't call me up

'Cause I'm here looking fine, babe
And I got eyes looking my way
And everybody's on my vibe, babe
Now, now, now, now, don't call me up
My friends said you were a bad man
I should have listened to them back then
And now you're tryna hit me up again
Now, now, now, now

I'm over you and I don't need your lies no more
'Cause the truth is, without you, boy, I'm stronger
And I know you said that I changed with my cold heart
But it was your game that left scars
Ooh, I'm over you

Don't call me up
I'm going out tonight
Feeling good now you're outta my life
Don't wanna talk about us
Gotta leave it behind
One drink and you're outta my mind
Now, now take it up
Baby, I'm on a high
You're alone, going out of your mind
When I'm here up in the club
And I don't wanna talk
So don't call me up

Don't call me up
So don't call me up
Don't call me up

I'm over you and I don't need your lies no more
'Cause the truth is, without you, boy, I'm stronger
And I know you said that I changed with my cold heart
But it was your game that left scars
Ooh, I'm over you

Don't call me up
I'm going out tonight
Feeling good now you're outta my life
Don't wanna talk about us
Gotta leave it behind
One drink and you're outta my mind
Now, now take it up
Baby, I'm on a high
You're alone, going out of your mind
When I'm here up in the club
And I don't wanna talk
So don't call me up 

 

Thirty Seconds To Mars - From Yesterday

 
He's a stranger to some
And a vision to none
He can never get enough,
Get enough of the one

For a fortune he'd quit
But it's hard to admit
How it ends and begins
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here

On a mountain he sits, not of gold but of shit
Through the blood he can look, see the lives that he took
From council of one
He'll decide when he's done with the innocent

On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)

From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message
He doesn't want to read the message
Doesn't want to read the message here

On his face is a map of the world

From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
From yesterday,
From yesterday,
From yesterday, the fear
From yesterday,
From yesterday
But he doesn't want to read the message
But he doesn't want to read the message
But he doesn't want to read the message here 

 

Chevelle - The Red

 
They say freak,
When you're singled out,
The red, well it filters through.

So lay down, the threat is real,
When his sight goes red again.
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again.

This change, he won't contain,
Slip away, to clear your mind.
When asked, who made it show,
The truth, he gives in to most.

So lay down, the threat is real,
When his sight goes red again.

So lay down, the threat is real,
When his sight goes red again.
So lay down, the threat is real,
When his sight goes red again.

Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red....

They say freak...
When you're singled out.
The red, it filters through...

 

Mosquée de Soliman le Magnifique (Rhodes)


 

In Flames - I Am Above

 
Cut my throat and throw me to the wolves
I'm just too tired, too tired to reload
Don't need your tears, I don't need your love
Don't need your sympathy, I am above

I'll be the ghost that haunts you in your sleep
You have anchored the hate in me
Don't need your tears, I don't need your love
Don't need your sympathy, I am above

My god, I don't need you
I won't wait for you to come around
My god, as the pain inflicts
I know I bleed, I bleed for you

We will never be, you are a ghost to me
This is the feeling that I have been waiting for

Maybe, just maybe it takes time to sink in
Did you not hear me loud and clear?
Don't need your tears, I don't need your love
Don't need your sympathy, I am above

My god, I don't need you
I won't wait for you to come around
My god, as the pain inflicts
I know I bleed, I bleed for you

We will never be, you are a ghost to me
This is the feeling that I have been waiting for
We will never be, you are a ghost to me
This is the feeling that I have been waiting for

My god, I don't need you
I won't wait for you to come around
My god, as the pain inflicts
I know I bleed, I bleed for you

We will never be, you are a ghost to me
This is the feeling that I have been waiting for
We will never be, you are a ghost to me
This is the feeling that I have been waiting for

This is the feeling that I have been waiting for
Don't need your tears, I don't need your love
This is the feeling that I have been waiting for
Don't need your sympathy, I am above 

 

Stone Sour - Bother

 
Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason;
my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten
with its memories
Diaries left
with cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on:
I'll never live down my deceit

 

Velvet Revolver - Fall To Pieces

 
It's been a long year
Since you've been gone
I've been alone here
I've grown old
I fall to pieces, I'm falling
Fell to pieces and I'm still falling

Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces

I keep a journal of memories
I'm feeling lonely, I can't breathe
I fall to pieces, I'm falling
Fell to pieces and I'm still falling

All the years I've tried
With more to go
Will the memories die
I'm waiting
Will I find you
Can I find you
We're falling down
I'm falling

Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces
Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces
Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces
Every time I'm falling down
All alone I fall to pieces

 

Whitesnake - Too Many Tears

 
I used to be the man for you
Did everything you wanted me to
So tell me baby
Where did I go wrong

I told you what you wanted to know
Precious secrets never spoken before
All I'm asking
Where did I go wrong

Some things are better left unsaid
But all I do is cry instead
Now I've cried me a river
Thinking how it used to be

There've been too many tears falling
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two
Remember what we had together
Believing it would last forever
So tell me baby
Where did I go wrong

Everything I had was yours
More than I have ever given before
So won't you tell me
Did I hurt you so bad

I guess I'm fooling myself
'Cause I want you and no one else
And I can't understand
Why you're doing these things to me
There've been too many tears falling
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two
Remember what we had together
Believing it would last forever
So tell me baby
Where did I go wrong

Now my heart is breaking
My whole world is shaking
"Cause I can't understand
Why you're doing these things to me

There've been too many tears falling
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two
Remember what we had together
Believing it would last forever
So tell me baby
Where did I go wrong 

 

Bonfire - You Make Me Feel

 
Deep in the night, when I'm alone
My heart starts to burn, cause I feel for you
I've been away too long from my love
I leave it up to you, to understand

I've got this feeling, deep in my mind
Come back and love me, just one more time
On the ground of an ocean, we buried our love far away
My heart's still bleeding, won't you come back and stay

But I can't understand
Why there's salt in my eyes
And I can't understand
Why your heart's in disguise

For I still need you
And I want you to come back again
You make me feel like never again

I can't find the answer from a look in your eyes
And my heart's still crying, don't tell me your love's a lie
You're still the one who can set me in a state of trance
Why don't we give us a second chance?

But I can't understand why you laugh, though you cry
And I can't understand why I don't say goodbye

For I still need you
And I want you to come back again
You make me feel like never again

For I still need you
And I want you to come back again
You make me feel like never again

For I still need you
And I want you to come back again
You make me feel like never again

For I still need you
And I want you to come back again
You make me feel like never again 

 

Everlast - What It's Like

 
We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He asks a man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
"Get a job, you fuckin' slob" is all he replies

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll, I'm the man you've been dreamin' of"
But three months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
And she swear, "God damn if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls"
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the door
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like
Then you really might know what it's like

I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry

I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie

I've seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between

I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green

I stroked the fattest dimes
At least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart

You know where it ends
Yo, it usually depends
On where you start

I knew this kid named Max
He used to get fat stacks
Out on the corner with drugs

He liked to hang out late
He liked to get shit faced
And keep the pace with thugs

Until late one night
There was a big gun fight
Max lost his head

He pulled out his Chrome .45
Talked some shit
And wound up dead

And now his wife and his kids
Are caught in the midst
Of all of this pain

You know it comes that way
At least that's what they say
When you play the game

God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
