'Fall for You' ~ Secondhand Serenade



The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
It couldn't be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear its true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start

Oh, but hold your breath

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible to find

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep

And hold onto your words
'Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight when you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This always reminded me of Raven's (Jacyn Ravenlock's) madness.


'One more soul to the Call'~Akira Yamaoka



Enough...
With the light...
Tell me one...
More time...
My blood...
Your line...

Is this you, inside?

Death.
To the living...
The flame has no living heart.

In the order, of life, they know you there...
As you saw it, your plan, a real shot in the dark...

Came a little, too late...
It's over!

Calling, the children...
Conception, and dying...
Silent, but screaming!

Damage done to the flesh, what they said, in the name of the...
Damage done to the heart, is the start, of the end!
Damage done to my soul, I know, it knows where my...
Damage done to my life, cursing loud, at the chaos!

You're here, you're gone...
It's not fair, I'm lost...
Your god, your fear...
Was it worth...
The price?

Pray. For the children!
You lost along the way.
Still remember, the names, and faces...
Cold. And abandoned.
They cry, their fate put in your hands.

When it's over, they come to haunt you...

Wasted... Confusion...
Deadly... Illusion...
Nightmare... Intrusion!

One more soul to the call, for all, in silence...
Comes two more souls to the call, for all, and in time!
Three more more souls to the call, they fall...
Unknowing that four more souls to the call, won't be all, and you know it!

Sacrifice...
Wasted life...
Destiny, redefined...
Someone, chooses you...
Lucky one, close your eyes, your family knows you're here!

Calling, the children...
Conception, and dying...
Silent, but screaming!

Damage done to the flesh, what they said, in the name of the...
Damage done to the heart, is the start, of the end!
Damage done to my soul, I know, it knows where my...
Damage done to my life, cursing loud, at the chaos!

One more soul to the call, for all, in silence...
Comes two more souls to the call, for all, and in time!
Three more more souls to the call, they fall...
Unknowing that four more souls to the call, won't be all, and you know it!

Sorry I just had to listen to this again while I was redoing Jen's OOC Bio. I was going to change it but wanted to share it because it was during a really nasty spot in RDI for a while.


I don't understand
Why are you being so mean?
You're mean mean man


You are just jealous of me
Cuz you, you just can't do what I do
So instead of just admitting it
You walk around and say
All kinds of really mean things
About me cuz you're a meanie, a meanie

But it's only cuz you're
Just really jealous of me
Cuz I'm what you want to be
So you just look like an idiot
When you say these mean things
Cuz it's too easy to see
You're just a really big weenie, big weenie


Alright listen, I need you to focus
I need you to go dig deep in your mind, this is important
We are going to perform an experiment of the sorts
I'm going to have to ask you to bear with me for a moment

Now I need you to open your mind-your eyes close them
You are now about to be placed under my hypnosis
For the next four and a half minutes
We are going to explore into your mind
To find out why you're so fn' jealous

Now why did they make Yoo-Hoo?
Hippity ga-ga boo-boo
Psych, I'm kidding
I just wanted to see if you're still listenin'

Ok, now I need your undivided attention
Sir I have a question
Why do I always sense this undeniable tension
From the moment that I enter into the room
It gets all quiet and whispers
Whenever there's conversation, why am I always mentioned?
I've been dying to ask, it's been itchin' at me
Is it just because

You are just jealous of me
Cuz you, you just can't do what I do
So instead of just admitting it
You walk around and say
All kinds of really mean things
About me cuz you're a meanie, a meanie

But it's only cuz you're
Just really jealous of me
Cuz I'm what you want to be
So you just look like an idiot
When you say these mean things
Cuz it's too easy to see
You're just a really big weenie, big weenie


Alright now I, I just flubbed a line
I was going to say something extremely important
But I forgot who or what it was, I fucked up

Psych, I'm kidding again you idiot, no I didn't
That's just what you wanted to hear from me
Is that I fucked up ain't it?

But I can bust one take without lookin' at no paper
It doesn't take a bunch of takes
Or me to stand here in this booth all day
For me to say the truth, ok?
You're droolin, you have tooth decay
Your mouth is open, you're disgusting
What the fuck you eat for lunch
A bunch of sweets or something, what?
You munch a bunch of Crunch 'N Munch?
Your tooth is rotten to the gum
Your breath stinks, wanna chew some gum?
Yes I do sir, what am I on?
You sir are on chew serum
Marshall I'm so jealous of you
Please say you won't tell nobody
I'd be so embarrassed, I'm just absolutely terrified
That someone's gonna find out why I'm saying
All these terrible, evil and awful mean things
It's my own insecurity!

You are just jealous of me
Cuz you, you just can't do what I do
So instead of just admitting it
You walk around and say
All kinds of really mean things
About me cuz you're a meanie, a meanie

But it's only cuz you're
Just really jealous of me
Cuz I'm what you want to be
So you just look like an idiot
When you say these mean things
Cuz it's too easy to see
You're just a really big weenie, big weenie

Alright now we, we're going to conduct
That experiment that we were talking about earlier
Just to see what a frog looks like when it takes two hits of ecstasy
Cuz that's exactly what your eyes look like, want to check to see?
Here's a mirror, notice the resemblance here?

Wait, let me put these sun glasses on
Now look in this mirror, how about now?
What do you have in common?
You're both green with envy and look like idiots with sunglasses on 'em

You look like I sound like singing about weenies
Now take my weenie out of your mouth
This is between me and you, I know you're not happy
I know you'd much rather see me lying in the corner of a room somewhere crying
Curled up in a ball tweeked out of my mind dying
There is no denying that my weenie is much bigger than yours is
Mine is like sticking a banana between two oranges
Why you even doing this to yourself, it's pointless
Why do we have to keep on going through this, this is tortuous

My point is this
That if you say mean things, weenie will shrink
Now I fogot what the chorus is, your just is...

You are just jealous of me
Cuz you, you just can't do what I do
So instead of just admitting it
You walk around and say
All kinds of really mean things
About me cuz you're a meanie, a meanie

But it's only cuz you're
Just really jealous of me
Cuz I'm what you want to be
So you just look like an idiot
When you say these mean things
Cuz it's too easy to see
You're just a really big weenie, big weenie

This was something that came to mind, when Brian was kept by Raven for all that time.



'Acceptance' ~ Mary Elizabeth McGlynn


Time flows, nobody knows
The years go by
Where we go alone
From here

Night falls, strange color rolls
My eyes deceive
What is wrong with me

Deep in the night you think everything's right
Tell it to yourself
Say it's just a nightmare
Something is telling you
Nothing can change where you are again

Why should it matter, your dreams of a child
Innocence is gone, only fear to play with
Bases are changing, but nothing is changing the pain
Too late

Two steps I take getting closer
And closer

And one more breath I take
Sends me further back

Over and over it calls to your soul
Say it isn't so, emptiness surrounds you
No one can help if the angels refuse to come here

Who's there?

Cold faded photos, they lay by your side
Something in my room, never mind the reason
Visions are lying and reasons just live to survive
This time

The cold
The light
The fear returning
It's not
The eyes
You feel that's chilling you

"Mirrors" by Justin Timberlake

Aren't you somethin' to admire, cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side


Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong


Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you baby, it was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me


Aren't you somethin', an original, cause it doesn't seem merely assembled
And I can't help but stare cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes
I can't ever change without you, you reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the time


Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong


Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you baby, it was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me


Yesterday is history
Tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you lookin' back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me


Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you baby, it was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me


You are you are the love of my life


Baby you're the inspiration for this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
Just to let you know, you are


You are you are the love of my life


Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You're my reflection and all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do


You are you are the love of my life

I've been having a Queens of The Stone Age fit. And this song just calls to me and the spot where Jade is right now.

Go With The Flow ~ Queens of The Stone Age

She said "I'll throw myself away,
They're just photos after all"
I can't make you hang around.
I can't wash you off my skin.
Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out
You won't remember anyway

I can go with the flow
I would say it doesn't matter (with the flow) matter anymore
I can go with the flow (I can go)

Do you believe it in your head?
It's so safe to play along
Little soldiers in a row
Falling in and out of love
Something sweet to throw away.

I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live.
I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate.
Do you believe it in your head?

I can go with the flow
I would say it doesn't matter (with the flow) matter anymore
I can go with the flow (I can go)
Do you believe it in your head?

War - Poets of the Fall

Do you remember standing on a broken field
White crippled wings beating the sky
The harbingers of war with their nature revealed
And our chances flowing by

If I can let the memory heal
I will remember you with me on that field

When I thought that I fought this war alone
You were there by my side on the frontline
When I thought that I fought without a cause
You gave me a reason to try

Turn the page I need to see something new
For now my innocence is torn
We cannot linger on this stunted view
Like rabid dogs of war

I will let the memory heal
I will remember you with me on that field

When I thought that I fought this war alone
You were there by my side on the frontline
And we fought to believe the impossible
When I thought that I fought this war alone
We were one with our destinies entwined
When I thought that I fought without a cause
You gave me the reason why

With no-one wearing their real face
It's a whiteout of emotion
And I've only got my brittle bones to break the fall

When the love in letters fade
It's like moving in slow motion
And we're already too late if we arrive at all

And then we're caught up in the arms race
An involuntary addiction
And we're shedding every value our mothers taught

So will you please show me your real face
Draw the line in the horizon
Cos I only need your name to call the reasons why I fought

When I thought that I fought this war alone...

The Dead Weather ~ Hang You From The Heavens

I never know how to treat you
You say I love you but it ain't true
I'm walking away now
One step forward and back two

I'd like to grab you by the hair
And hang you up from the heavens

I don't know how to let you go
Or if I should keep you
I don't know how to let you know
Hey
I really do got a reason

I'd like to grab you by the hair
And drag you to the devil

I never know why I push you
Just to, just to confuse you
I make the hole just to see how
See through me how I push you

I'd like to grab you by the hair
And hang you up from the heavens

I'd like to grab you by the hair
And sell you off to the devil

I never know in what mood you'll be
Be mine be kind or be cruel to me
I'm walking away now
One step forward and back three

I never know what I'm gonna do
I say I'm leaving but it ain't true
I got a lot I could do to you
Hey
Nothing you can do to stop this

I wanna grab you by the hair
I wanna grab you by the hair
I wanna grab you by the hair
And hang you up from the heavens

Last Man Standing ~ Hammerfall




I ?I am the one
The one ?who lost control
Control ?but in the end I'd be the
Last Man Standing

I ?I am the one
The one ?who sold his soul
His soul ?forever gone to be the
Last Man Standing

Glorious, noble in my mind, everything a fight to win
Taking all and giving whatever my pride would let me
Not backing down, not giving in

I wouldn?t lose, I couldn?t

I ?I am the one
The one ?who lost control
Control ?but in the end I'd be the
Last Man Standing

I ?I am the one
The one ?who sold his soul
His soul ?forever gone to be the
Last Man Standing

I walk alone with my head held high, never felt that I belonged
Stand my ground at all costs running through life with blindfolds
Just for the right- right to be wrong

Nothing would rule my world but?

I ?I am the one
The one ?who lost control
Control ?but in the end I'd be the
Last Man Standing

I ?I am the one
The one ?who sold his soul
His soul ?forever gone to be the
Last Man Standing

Nothing would rule my world but?

I ?I am the one
The one ?who lost control
Control ?but in the end I'd be the
Last Man Standing

I ?I am the one
The one ?who sold his soul
His soul ?forever gone to be the
Last Man Standing

I ?I am the one
The one ?who lost control
Control ?but in the end I'd be the
Last Man Standing

I ?I am the one
The one ?who sold his soul
His soul ?forever gone to be the
Last Man Standing

Seeing clearer what I?ve done
I?d refuse to let things go
I could never once admit I?m wrong
And what do I have to show?

Seeing clearer what?s at stake
And the things I have to change
I just hope I can, it?s not too late
To get a chance to end this pain!

Serenade of flames~ Serenity



I'm glad we're talking face to face.

You know I've got a job to do,
and I expect some help from you, too.

Soon you'll call them in to torture me,
why do you need this privacy?

You'll have your horrid joy anyway..

One more night and then in flames you'll die.
Nothing you can do or say could change your fate

You are mine!

One more night and then in flames you'll die,
we invented Lucifer to spread the fear across the nations!

I can't negate the evidence...

They say you've healed a little girl,with guidance from another world...

Then a good deed, now my last mistake.

You tell me my reward's the stake, is this the Christian duty you preach?

One more night and then in flames you'll die,
we invented Lucifer to spread the fear across the nations!

You've been caught in our system of power and fear!

We will break your resistance, your confession is near!

Malleus Maleficarum!

Don't you think God is watching?
Your carnival of lies won't last eternally

Trust my words, if he's watching he has never showed,
and he won't take your soul ?

One more night and then in flames I'll die...

Nothing you can do or say could change your fate...

You are mine!

One more night and then in flames you'll die.
We invented Lucifer to spread the fear, across the nations!

The Promise ~ In this Moment


It's haunting
This hold that you have over me
I grow so weak

I see you
And everything around you fades
And I can't speak

But you can never know what it is you do to me

I can't take what you're doing to me

What it is you do to me

I cant take it

No matter what I say or what I do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now before we begin

And now matter what you say or what you do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now

I'm dangerous for you

You touch me
And I can barely make a move
And I can't breathe

You can never know what it is you do to me

I can't take what you're doing to me

What it is you to do me

I can't take it

No matter what I say or what I do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now before we begin

And no matter what you say or what you do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now

I'm dangerous

The only promise I can make you

Is that my promises are lies

The only promise I could make you

Is that my promises are lies

No matter what I say or what I do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now before we begin

And no matter what you say or what you do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now

I'm dangerous for you

I'm dangerous, I'm dangerous for you

My promise is I will hurt you

My promise is I will hurt you

My promise is I will hurt you

Frozen Sleep ~ Malukah


Wait in the dark
With the memories that replay my lonesome fears
And my mind
Is betrayed by time passing by
And I just need to to wake up
I'm gonna need you to save us

And take me home

Feel the madness taking over
While you lay in frozen sleep
Though my life's now fading
You're still a promise I will keep

Wait in the dark
Every feeling becomes so magnified
And my mind
Goes on and on

I'm trying to hold on
But I keep losing control of
All I know

Though my life's now fading
You're still a promise I will keep

You'll always be
My sword, my shield

"Wrong Side Of Heaven" ~ Five Finger Death Punch

I spoke to god today, and she said that she's ashamed.
What have I become, what have I done?
I spoke to the devil today, and he swears he's not to blame.
And I understood, cuz I feel the same.

Arms wide open, I stand alone.
I'm no hero, and I'm not made of stone.
Right or wrong, I can hardly tell.
I'm on the wrong side of heaven, and the righteous side of hell.
I'm on the wrong side of heaven, and the righteous side, righteous side of hell.

I heard from god today, and she sounded just like me.
What have I done, and who have I become.
I saw the devil today, and he looked a lot like me.
I looked away, I turned away!

Arms wide open, I stand alone.
I'm no hero, and I'm not made of stone.
Right or wrong, I can hardly tell.
I'm on the wrong side of heaven, and the righteous side of hell.
I'm on the wrong side of heaven, and the righteous side, the righteous side of hell.

I'm not defending, downward descending,
falling further and further away!
I'm closer EVERYDAY!

I'm getting closer every day, to the end.
The end, The end, the end,
I'm getting closer EVERYDAY!

Arms wide open, I stand alone.
I'm no hero, and I'm not made of stone.
Right or wrong, I can hardly tell.
I'm on the wrong side of heaven, and the righteous side of hell.
I'm on the wrong side of heaven, and the righteous side of hell.
I'm on the wrong side of heaven, and the righteous side, the righteous side of hell.

Van Canto - Last Night Of The Kings Lyrics

The castle is lit with candles and torches
The carriages of the nobles arrive in front
The smell of splendor and decadence
And nobody can foresee

The masters and the mistresses are walking through the hall
They are smiling, laughing and showing that they're tall
They don't recognize that we're waiting there
And just nobody can foresee
This is the last night of the kings

We are the folk and we have the right
To stand up and to fight for an independent life
We are the force, we are the might
And we will stand up for an independent life

The ball has begun and we're closing our trap
Inwardly we're gathering ourselves
While the dance comes to higher pace
Still nobody can foresee

Joining the circle in black robes unknown
Unsheathing our swords and get ready to dance
Our hearts are filled with the will to survive
In the last night of their lives
It's a murderous, murderous ball night

We are the folk and we have the right
To stand up and to fight for an independent life
We are the force, we are the might
And we will stand up for an independent life

We are heroes, heroes of the night
We are ready to live forevermore
Our gods lead us through this fight
On and on, we are one and on our way

We are the folk and we have the right
To stand up and to fight for an independent life
We are the force, we are the might
And we will stand up for an independent life

Fix You ~ ColdPlay


When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

This from the Rooster Teeth Animation R.W.B.Y. It reminds me of Brian and Jenai in the wake of Brian being taken by Jacyn. Jenai was seemingly left with the bag and I can only imagine what she'd been going through inside and out, during that time. More so, the regret Brian felt for doing the things he'd done before and leaving Jenai behind, either by choice or against his will.


Red Like Roses Part II ~ Jeff Williams


I couldn't take it couldn't stand another minute
couldn't bear another day without you in it
all of the joy that I had known for my life
was stripped away from me the minute that you died

to have you in my life was all i ever wanted
but now without you I'm a soul forever haunted
can't help but feel that i had taken you for granted
no way in hell that i can ever comprehend this

i wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone
i was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong
how could you leave me when you swore that you would stay
now i'm trapped inside a nightmare every single effin day

it's like a movie but there's not a happy ending
every scene fades black and there's no pretending
this little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well
theres no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell

i know you didn't plan this
you tried to do what's right
but in the middle of this madness
i'm the one you left to win this fight

red like roses
fills my head with dreams and finds me
always closer
to the emptiness and sadness
that has come to take the place of you

i know you're broken down by anger and by sadness
you feel I left you in a world that's full of madness
wish i could talk to you if only for a minute
make you understand the reasons why i did it

i wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered
want you to know that for eternity i'm shattered
i tried so hard just to protect you but i failed to
and in a prison of abandonment i've jailed you

i never planned that i would leave you there alone
i was sure that i would see you when i made it back home
and all the times I swore that it would be okay
now i'm nothing but a liar and you're thrown into the fray

this bedtime story ends with misery ever after
the pages are torn and there's no final chapter
i didn't have a choice I did what I had to do
i made a sacrifice but forced a bigger sacrifice on you

i know you've lived a nightmare
i caused you so much pain
but baby, please don't do what i did
i don't want you to waste your life in vain

red like roses
fills my head with dreams and finds me
always closer
to the emptiness and sadness
that has come to take the place of you

you're not the only one who needed me, i thought you understood
you were the one i needed and you left me as I always feared you would
would I change it if i could?
it doesn't matter how
the petals scatter now
every nightmare just discloses
it's your blood that's red like roses
and no matter what I do
nothing ever takes the place of you

red like roses
fills my head with dreams and finds me
always closer
to the emptiness and sadness
that has come to take the place of you

"Beautiful Pain"
Eminem, MathersLP2

I can feel the heat rising
Everything is on fire
Today's a painful reminder of why
We can only get brighter
The further you put it behind ya
And right now I'm on the inside
Looking out, cause


I'm standing in the flames
And it's a beautiful kind of pain
Setting fire to yesterday
Find a light, find a light, find a light
Standing in the flames
And it's a beautiful kind of pain
Setting fire to yesterday
Find a light, find a light, find a light


Yesterday was the tornado warning, today is like the morning after
Your world is torn in half.
You wake and let's wait to start the morning process
Rebuilding and you're still a work in progress.
Today is a whole new chapter, it's like an enormous ___.
The thunderstorm has passed ya.
Your weather didn't poke his eyes out with the thorn bush that you used to smell the roses.
Stopped to inhale, can't even tell your nose is stuffed.
So focused on the bright side.
Then you floor the gas pedal and hit the corner fast,
The more asserted, never looking back, may hit the curb,
But everyday is a new learning curve as you steer through life.
Sometimes you might not wanna swerve but you have to to avert a disaster.
Lucky, no permanent damage,
'Cause they hurt you so bad.
It's like they murdered your ___ and threw dirt on your casket,
But you returned from the ashes.
And that hurt that you have, you just converted to gasoline,
And while you're burning the past, standing at inferno and chant


So familiarize what having to swallow this pill is like
It happens all the time, they take your heart and steal your life
And it's as though you feel you've died because you've been killed inside
But yet you're still alive which means you will survive
Although today you may weep because you're weak and
Everything seems so bleek and hopeless
The light that you're seeking, it begins to seep in
That's the only thing keeping you from leaping off the motherfreaking deep end
And I'm pulling for you to push through this feeling
And with a little time that should do the healing
And by tomorrow you may even feel so good that you're willing
To forgive them even after all that ____ you been put through.
This feeling of resilience is building.
And the flames are burning quick as fire would through this building you're sealed in
But you're fireproof, and flame retardant you withstood it.
And as you climb up to the roof you're just chillin' and you look down
'Cause you're so over them you could put the heel of your foot through the ceiling.

As time passes, things change everyday
But wounds, wounds heal
But scars still remain the same
But tomorrow today's gone down in flames
Throw the match, set the past up ablaze

So feel the fire beneath your feet
As you barely even perspire from the heat
Exhale deep and breathe a sigh of relief
And as you say goodbye to the grief
It's like watching the walls melt in your prison cell
But you've extinguished this living hell
Still a little piece of you dies, you scream


I feel the burn, watch the smoke as I turn rising,
A phoenix from the flames
I have learned, from fighting fights, that weren't mine
Not with fists, but with wings that I will fly

Respectful - CFO$



The kind mixed with the wicked
The will to fight until the end
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy or friend

Respect, never came to those just waiting for it
This time is the same as all that came before
You will never see your name written in the sky
I'm here to bring you down to earth

The cure inside the sickness
The fall and crawling back again
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy or friend

Step back, 'cause i'll never hear a word you'll say
You try but it doesn't matter anyway
You will never see your name written in the sky
I'm here to bring you down to earth

The kind mixed with the wicked
The will to fight until the end
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy or friend
The cure inside the sickness
The fall and crawling back again
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy or friend

Respect, never came to those just waiting for it
This time is the same as all that came before
You will never see your name written in the sky
I'm here to bring you down to earth

The kind mixed with the wicked
The will to fight until the end
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy or friend
The cure inside the sickness
The fall and crawling back again
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy or friend

Malevolence~ Ashley Costello


So soft So gentle
This rose is kind and still
With change comes hatred
Now, time to kill

I've heard it all
I know I cared too much
But, It's cruel to let you die
I'll take the fall
I'll be the heartless one
My veins are made of ice

Well, I'm not afraid to
Take the world on myself
But if I can't have it all
Then no one will

Nothing's gonna save me
The evil that I see
Has taken over me
No ones gonna save me
The damage has been done
I'm righting all the wrongs
I'm relentless like you made me

You fool!!

Intentions once pure and simple
Now sinister and sharp
I was weak I would fall for a promise
I had no guard

Been through the worse
I've seen the purest soul
Fill up with such disdain
Watching them fall
Trying to take me out
I see your foolish games

Well, I'm not afraid to
Take the world on myself
But if I can't have it all
Then no one will

Nothing's gonna save me
The evil that I see
Has taken over me
No ones gonna save me
The damage has been done
I'm righting all the wrongs
I'm relentless like you made me

Rotten to the core
Sacred vows are torn
Can't expect a snake to be sheep
Can't expect a lair not to cheat

Well, I'm not afraid to
Take the world on myself
But if I can't have it all
Then no one will

Nothing's gonna save me
The evil that I see
Has taken over me
No ones gonna save me
The damage has been done
I'm righting all the wrongs
I'm relentless like you made me
