Firehouse - Reach For The Sky

Well I'm an outlaw
I make my living on the run
My life is lonely
But I was born to need no one
Always on my own

Oh?

My gun is loaded
I'm a six-shot heart attack
I pull the trigger
So you better watch your back

Looking out for #1 so you had better take this piece of advice
Make your move
Stick 'em up or kiss your *** goodbye

Chorus:
Reach for the sky
Or I will shoot you down in the blink of an eye
Reach for the sky
There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Reach for the sky
I got the drop on you so raise them high
Reach for the sky

Well it's a show down
This is what I do for fun
I got a reputation
Yeah I'm the fastest gun
I'm livin' on the highway
Movin' on from town to town
You better do it my way
Or I will shoot you down

Looking out for #1 so you had better take this piece of advice
Make your move
Stick 'em up or kiss your *** goodbye

Chorus

Take you best shot
Oh go for your guns baby

Reach for the sky
Or I will shoot you down in the blink of an eye
Reach for the sky
There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Reach for the sky
Or I will shoot you down in the blink of an eye
Reach for the sky
There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Reach for the sky
I got the drop on you so raise them high
Reach for the sky
Oh reach for the sky

The first song I posted lyrics for in Higher Than Hope. For some reason I thought some of the lyrics from each song fit somehow.

Vienna Teng - Between

We are not together here
Though we lie entwined
To make room for the other presence
We both draw back in our minds
I have a prophecy
Threatening to spill into words
This growing certainty
Of Over

There once was a time I was sure of the bond
When my hands and my tongue and my thoughts were enough
We are the same but our lives move along
And the third one between replaces what once was love

Freedom is being alone
I fear liberation
But something more alive than silence
Swallows conversation
No pleasing drama
In subtle averted eyes
The swelling fermata
As the chord dies

There's no denying we feel the third one
We do
I'm tired of hiding and so are you

Of course. ;-)

Nightwish - Higher Than Hope

Time it took the most of me
And left me with no key
To unlock the chest of remedy
Mother, the pain ain`t hurting me
But the love that I feel
When you hold me near

The hopes were high
The choirs were vast
Now my dreams are left to live through you

Red Sun rising
Drown without inhaling
Within, the dark holds hard
Red Sun rising
Curtain falling
Higher than hope my cure lies

Passiontide
An angel by my side
But no Christ to end this war
To deliver my soul from the sword
Hope has shown me a scenery
Paradise poetry
With first snow I`ll be gone

The hopes were high...

Red Sun rising...

Your death saved me

Red Sun rising...

Wellll... Toby's like family to Ix, but I did think this sort of fit in there with some of the stuff in Higher Than Hope because she was all... super depressed. :cool:

Nick Black - Hollow

Isn't it right?
Isn't it great?
Pick up the pieces together again
Don't forget
Have no regrets
It only leaves you hollow

Wasn't it right?
Wasn't it fear?
I think that I thought that you were gone but you're here
Whatever I said
Whatever I did
Only left me hollow

You're wasting time but so am I
The pictures on the wall
Wherever you go
You and I both know
That I will follow

Wasn't it twice?
Wasn't it a shame?
Thought it was you
But I'll take all the blame
Only yesterday
Was it just today
Will it be tomorrow

Didn't it shine?
Wouldn't it fade?
Was it a difference that you and I made
And if you forget
To have your regrets
It only leaves you hollow

You're wasting time but so am I
The pictures on the wall
Wherever you go
You and I both know
That I will follow

Your wasting life
And so am I
We stumble and we fall
Whenever you go
You and I both know
It will leave me hollow

While trolling for music, I heard this song and had one of those 'Holy crap.' moments that happen when you realize it fits your character perfectly. This one, I figure, is Toby's theme. *pompoms for Disturbed*

Disturbed - Haunted

You're broken, so am I
I'm better off alone
No one to turn to and nothing to call my own
Outspoken, so am I
Explosive words that your world wouldn't understand
Turn away again

You're beaten, so am I
I've got a heart of stone
No medication can cure what has taken hold
You're hurting, so will I
When I awake and remember why I've been running from your

World
Dishonored by your world
Your world
I'm haunted by your world

My blood is cold as ice
Or so I have been told
Show no emotion, and it can destroy your soul
Another sacrifice
To a tormentor your world wouldn't understand
Turn away again

You're angered, so am I
A thousand fires burn
A land of darkness from which I cannot return
You're aching, so will I
When I awake and discover that I have been damaged by your

World
Dishonored by your world
Your world
I'm haunted by your world

(Never will I be welcomed
Amongst the heartless monsters you surround yourself with
Feeding off the pain and misfortune of others
A maniacal unit of sub-human parasites
Warped into a feeding frenzy with the smell of fresh blood
Open your eyes and see the creatures for what they are
A swirling mess of hatred and envy
Don't be naive enough to think you're unaffected
The conversion has already begun...)

You're frightened, so am I
A world of demons wait
Watching the movements and filling my heart with hate
You're burning, so will I
When I awake and discover how I have been ravaged by your

World
Dishonored by your world
Your world
I'm haunted by your world
