This song has always reminded me of Scorp and Issy's rocky relationship. And depending on the situation, the lyrics could be refering to either of them.


Right Here by Staind

I know I've been mistaken,
But just give me a break
And see the changes that I've made.

I've got some imperfections,
But how can you collect them all
And throw them in my face?

But you always find a way
To keep me right here waiting.
You always find the words to say
To keep me right here waiting.

And if you chose to walk away
I'd still be right here waiting,
Searching for the things to say
To keep you right here waiting,

I hope you're not intending
To be so condescending,
It's as much as I can take.

And you're so independent.
You just refuse to bend
So I keep bending till I break.

But you always find a way
To keep me right here waiting.
You always find the words to say
To keep me right here waiting.

And if you chose to walk away
I'd still be right here waiting,
Searching for the things to say
To keep you right here waiting.

I've made a commitment,
I'm willing to bleed for you.
I needed fulfillment,
I found what I need in you.

Why can't you just forgive me?
I don't want to relive
All the mistakes I've made
Along the way.

But I always find a way
To keep you right here waiting.
I always find the words to say
To keep you right here waiting.

But you always find a way
To keep me right here waiting.
You always find the words to say
To keep me right here waiting.

And if I chose to walk away
Would you be right here waiting?
Searching for the things to say
To keep me right here waiting.

"The most important thing in a relationship between a man and a woman is that one of them must be good at taking orders."

-Linda Festa

I've been wondering who's better at taking orders: Issy or Scorp?

Very infatuated with this song lately.



"Call Me" by Shinedown

Wrap me in a bolt of lightning
Send me on my way still smiling
Maybe that's the way I should go,
Straight into the mouth of the unknown
I left the spare key on the table
Never really thought I'd be able to say
I merely visit on the weekends
I lost my whole life and a dear friend

I've said it so many times
I would change my ways
No, nevermind
God knows I've tried


Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way

I finally put it all together,
But nothing really lasts forever
I had to make a choice that was not mine,
I had to say goodbye for the last time
I kept my whole life in suitcase,
Never really stayed in one place
Maybe that's the way it should be,
You know I live my life like a gypsy

I've said it so many times
I would change my ways
No, nevermind
God knows I've tried


Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way

I'll always keep you inside, you healed my
Heart and my life... And you know I try.


Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way
So, I'll be on my way
So, I'll be on my way

Bad Girlfriend by Theory of a Deadman

"Bad Girlfriend"


My Girlfriend's a d*ck magnet My Girlfriend's gotta have it
She's hot, can't stop, up on stage, doing shots, Tip the man he'll
Ring the bell, get her drunk she'll scream like hell.
Dirty girl, gettin' down, dance with guys from outta town.
Grab her @ss, actin' tough. Mess with her, she'll f*ck you up.
No one really knows if she's drunk or if she's stoned, but she's
Comin' back to my place tonight!


She likes to shake her @ss she grinds it to the beat
She likes to pull my hair when I make her grind her teeth
I like to strip her down she's naughty to the end
You know what she is, no doubt about it
She's a bad, bad girlfriend!

Red thong, Party's on, Love this song, sing along.
Come together, leave alone, see you later back at home
No one really knows if she's drunk or is she's stoned
But she's coming back to my place tonight. I say
No one really knows just how far she's gonna go,
But I'm gonna find out later tonight



Doesn't take her long to make things right.
But does it make her wrong to
Have the time of her life. the time of her life
My girlfriend's a d*ck magnet My girlfriend's gotta have it

She's a gold digger now you figure out it's over, pull the trigger.
Futures finished, there it went, savings gone,
The money spent

I look around and all I see is, no good, bad and ugly,
Man she's hot and fixed to be, the future
Ex-Miss Connolly!

This has always for some reason, reminded me of Jenai and Brian.



"Distance" ~ Christina Perri


The sun is filling up the room,
And I can hear you dreaming.
Do you feel the way I do, right now?

I wish we would just give up,
'Cause the best part is falling.
Calling anything but love.

And I will make sure to keep my distance,
Say I love you when you're not listening,
How long, can we keep this up, up, up?

Please don't stand so close to me
I'm having trouble breathing.
I'm afraid of what you'll see, right now.

I'll give you everything I am,
All my broken heartbeats.
Until I know you'll understand.

And I will make sure to keep my distance,
Say I love you when you're not listening,
How long, can we keep this up, up, up?

And I keep waiting
For you to take me
And you keep waiting
To save what we had

So I'll make sure to keep my distance,
Say I love you when you're not listening,
How long, can we keep this up, up, up?

Make sure to keep my distance,
Say I love you when you're not listening,
How long, 'til we call this love, love, love?

Heard this this morning. Thought it fitting after the Marketplace incident last night. And PERFECT (in my mind) for the HELP WANTED thread.

Running Up That Hill by Placebo (Kate Bush cover)

It doesn't hurt me.
You wanna feel how it feels?
You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
You wanna hear about the deal I'm making?
You be running up that hill
You and me be running up that hill

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh...

You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder.
There is thunder in our hearts, baby.
So much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?

You, be running up that hill
You and me, be running up that hill
You and me won't be unhappy.

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
If I only could, oh...

'C'mon, baby, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience, oh...'

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems

'If I only could, be running up that hill.'

Hey Race, this one's for you:


"Absolute Zero," by Stone Sour (video)

The bloody angle, the symmetry
Your cheap adhesive isn't holding me
My mouth is a gun I can shoot, I can show you the truth
And I don't need a reason to lie to you

No pun intended, no punishment
If I offended you, you needed it
Ideas are the bombs in your mind, a fissure in time
If you don't have a weapon you can't have mine

I can bleed if I want to bleed
I can feel if I feel the need
This face is my last confession
This life, it feels like a prison

Oh ho, I'm not afraid
I'm giving into grievances again
You're looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the devil but I won't be your hero

The catatonic, the sacrilege
Your primadonnas are a privilege
My God has a need to react, it's as simple as that
It's better just to settle and face the facts

I can bleed if I want to bleed
I can feel if I feel the need
This face is my last confession
This life, it feels like a prison

Oh ho, I'm not afraid
I'm giving into grievances again
You're looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the devil but I won't be your hero

One thing that I can't stand
Is when the minutes fight the second hand
I'll waste a lifetime's worth
Just to play to one more day

No f*cking quota, no premiums
The world is stuck in delirium
Man is a four-letter word, it's really absurd
The hate isn't fake, it's just inferred

Oh ho, I'm not afraid
I'm giving into grievances again
I'm down to absolute zero
Another zealot with the weight of the f*cking world

Oh, I'm not afraid
And I will let you down as I hold you in
You're looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the devil but I won't be your hero

You know you're thinking of at least one of your characters, thinking this song is perfect for them. Yeah, me too. ;-)



"Badass" by Saliva

I need you to hear this loud and clear
The line and the sand is drawn and I have no fear
When I see red all I need is a reason to set me off
To drop this bomb and pick yourself off the ground

Cause I'm a badass
And you don't want to clash
Cause your mouth's writing checks that your face can't cash
Cause I'm a badass
And this warning's your last
Just cross my path and I'll drop you fast

Cause I'm a badass
A badass
Cause I'm a badass
A badass
A badass

Don't take this past the point of no return
You don't want this kind of lesson learned
When I see red all I need is a reason to throw it down
To take you out and you will have no doubt

Cause I'm a badass
And you don't want to clash
Cause your mouth's writing checks that your face can't cash
Cause I'm a badass
And this warning's your last
Just cross my path and I'll drop you fast

Cause I'm a badass
A badass
Cause I'm a badass
A badass
A badass

I'm going to walk away from this
And let it die than let it last
Your pushing me telling me to change my soul
And I'm gonna leave your body black and blue now

Cause I'm a badass
And you don't want to clash
Cause your mouth's writing checks that your face can't cash
Cause I'm a badass
And this warning's your last
Just cross my path and I'll drop you fast

Cause I'm a badass
A gun ready to blast
It's the wild wild west and I'm fast and fast
Cause I'm a badass
I'll put your face in the grass
Don't test me boy cause I'll drop you fast

Cause I'm a badass
A badass
Cause I'm a badass
Take your best shot
All you got
Good luck cause I'm a badass

Cause I'm a badass
A badass
A badass

"Stand My Ground" by Within Temptation

Video

I can see
When you stay low nothing happens
Does it feel right?

Late at night
Things I thought I put behind me
Haunt my mind

I just know there's no escape
Now once it sets its eyes on you
But I won't run,
Have to stare it in the eye


Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I've got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground

It's all around
Getting stronger, coming closer
Into my world

I can feel
That it's time for me to face it
Can I take it?

Though this might just be the ending
Of the life I held so dear
But I won't run,
There's no turning back from here



All I know for sure is I'm trying
I will always stand my ground

Stand my ground, I won't give in (I won't give in)
I won't give up (I won't give up)
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone else will

Stand my ground, I won't give in
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone else will
stand my ground

"Are You With Me Now" by Sixx AM

Laughing like we're crazy
Nothing mattered
Nothing fazed me
We were younger then
So much younger then
Everything seems rotten through
The eyes of the forgotten
And we were dumber then
So much dumber then

Well have I judged a book by how its bound
Am I lost or am I found
And are you with me
Are you with me now
Come back from the dead
You've been inside your head for too long
Are you with me now
Find the places that scare you
Come on I dare you
Are you with me
Are you with me

The years they took their toll
And all the things I can't control
Come back to haunt me now
Almost taunt me now
What's left to be afraid of
We found out what we are made of
And we've come this far
We both have the scars

Have I ever judged a book by how its bound
Am I lost or am I found
And are you with me
Are you with me now
Come back from the dead
You've been inside your head for too long
Are you with me now
Find the places that scare you
Come on I dare you
Are you with me
Are you with me
Are you with me
Are you with me

Well have I judged a book by how its bound
Am I lost or am I found
And are you with me
Come back from the dead
You've been inside your head for too long
Find the places that scare you
Are you with me now
Come back from the dead
You've been inside your head for too long
Are you with me now
Find the places that scare you
Come on I dare you
OH
Come on I dare you
Are you with me
Are you with me
Are you with me
Are you with me
Are you with me
Are you with me

"Lean On Me"

Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Please, swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show

You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load
You have to bear that you can't carry
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load
If you just call me

Call me (If you need a friend)
Call me (Call me uh-huh)
Call me (When you need a friend)
Call me (If you ever need a friend)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (If you need a friend)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me

I will be walking one day
Down a street far away
And see a face in the crowd and smile
Knowing how you made me laugh
Hearing sweet echoes of you from the past
I will remember you

Look in my eyes while you're near
Tell me what's happening here
See that I don't want to say goodbye
Our love is frozen in time
I'll be your champion and you will be mine
I will remember
I will remember you

Later on
When this fire is an ember
Later on
When the night's not so tender
Given time
Though it's hard to remember darlin'
I will be holding
I'll still be holding to you
I will remember you

So many years come and gone
And yet the memory is strong
One word we never could learn
Goodbye
True love is frozen in time
I'll be your champion and you will be mine
I will remember you
So please remember
I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you

Sometimes even the heroes need saving.

Savin' Me by Nickelback

Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you

Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'


Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
And say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you

These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And all I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'

And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'



Hurry I'm fallin'

And all I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin'



Hurry I'm fallin'

Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

Sold My Soul

Lyrics: Robin Eaton, Jill Sobule


I feel like an outline
Where the middle part is missing
And the moonlight is kissing
The details away.

I feel like a Cliff note
To a novel no one can read
And I feel like such a phony
Like I got ?em all deceived.

And I feel like a punch line
Nobody gets
I bet that you?re laughing
And shaking your head.

I sold my soul
And nothing happened
Yeah nothing happened
When I sold my soul

I feel like an outline
To a picture you started to paint
Now the sunlight is fading
The colors away

How?s it feel to have insides
Something to hold on to
I wish I could touch you
How could I know

When I sold my soul
And nothing Happened
Yeah nothing Happened
When I sold my soul
Just a big black hole
And nothing Happened
And I bet you?re laughin?
?Cause I sold my soul

"Til Kingdom Come" by Coldplay

Steal my heart and hold my tongue.
I feel my time, my time has come.
Let me in, unlock the door.
I've never felt this way before.

The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummer begins to drum,
I don't know which way I'm going,
I don't know which way I've come.

Hold my head inside your hands,
I need someone who understands.
I need someone, someone who hears,
For you, I've waited all these years.

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come.
Until my day, my day is done.
And say you'll come, and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

In your tears and in your blood,
In your fire and in your flood,
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing,
"I wouldn't change a single thing."

The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummers begin to drum,
I don't know which way I'm going,
I don't know what I've become.

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come,
Until my days, my days are done.
Say you'll come and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
