A Perfect Circle - 3 Libras

Threw you the obvious and you flew
     with it on your back, a name in your recollection,
          thrown down among a million same.
Difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed
     and passed over
          when I've looked right through
               to see you naked and oblivious
                    and you don't see me.
But i threw you the obvious
     just to see if there's more behind the eyes
          of a fallen angel,
               the eyes of a tragedy.
Here i am expecting just a little bit
     too much from the wounded.
          But i see through it all
               and see you.
So i threw you the obvious
     to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel,
          eyes of a tragedy.
               Oh well. Apparently nothing.
                    You don't see me.
You don't see me at all.

Lifehouse - Sick Cycle Carousel

If shame had a face I think it would kind of look like mine.
  If it had a home would it be my eyes?
Would you believe me if I said I'm tired of this?
Well, here we go now. One more time.

I tried to climb your steps.
  I tried to chase you down.
       I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground.
            I tried to earn my way.
                 I tried to change this mind.

You better believe that I have tried to beat this.

So when will this end? It goes on and on.
  Over and over and over again.
Keeps spinning around. I know that it won't stop
  till I step down from this for good.

Well, I never thought I'd end up here. Never
  thought I'd be standing where I am.
I guess I kind of thought that it would be easier than this.
  I guess I was wrong now one more time.

So when will this end? It goes on and on,
  over and over and over again.
       Keeps spinning around - I know that it won't stop
            till I step down from this
                 sick cycle carousel.

This is a sick cycle, yeah.

Lifehouse - Stanley Climbfall

You're begging for the beggar's bread
 when the money's out.
You carry the world.
 Can't carry your own.
When the world is falling down...
 and another breaks...
      and another falls.
For losers always makes a winner's day.
You carry the weight.
 Can't carry it all.
You're living
 just to make it through another day.

Are you falling?
 Are you faking?
      Are you healing?
           Are you breaking?
                Am I burning?
                     Am I only melting
                          these diamonds in the making?

And I'm at the end of myself...
  and nothing seems to satisfy me.

Anything you want...
  ...take anything you want.

Take anything you want.

quiet
seems like an honest world
you're begging for the beggars' bread when the money's out
stand, climb, and fall
you carry the world
can't carry your own

when the world is falling down
and another breaks
and another falls
for losers always make the winners' day

stand, climb, and fall
you carry the weight
can't carry it all

are you falling?
are you faking?
are you healing?
are you breaking?
am I burning?
am I only melting
these diamonds in the making?

and I'm at the end of myself
anything you want
and nothing seems to satisfy me
take anything you want

quiet
a sound you know so well
you're living just to make it through another day
stand, climb, and fall
you carry the world
can't carry your own

are you falling
are you faking
are you healing
are you breaking
am I burning
am I only melting
these diamonds in the making

and I'm at the end of myself
anything you want
and nothing seems to satisfy me
take anything you want
take anything you want
take anything you want

quiet

3 Doors Down - Away From The Sun

It's down to this.
     I've got to make this life make sense.
Can anyone tell what I've done?
I miss the life.
     I miss the colors of the world.
Can anyone tell where I am?

'Cause now again,
     I've found myself.
          So far down,
               away from the sun
                    that shines into
                         the darkest place.

I'm so far down,
     away from the sun again.

I'm over this.
     I'm tired of living in the dark.
Can anyone see me down here?
The feeling's gone.
     There's nothing left
          to lift me up
               back into the world I know.

And now again I've found myself
     so far down away from the sun
          that shines into the darkest place.
I'm so far down, away from the sun
     that shines to light the way for me.
          To find my way back into the arms
               that care about the ones like me.
I'm so far down, away from the sun again.

It's down to this.
     I've got to make this life make sense.
And now I can't tell what I've done.

'Cause now again I've found myself.
     So far down away from the sun
          That shines into the darkest place.
I'm so far down, away from the sun.
     That shines to light
          the way for me to find my way back
               into the arms that care
                    about the ones like me.

I'm so far down.
     Away from the sun again.

Oh, no...
     I'm gone.

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone tell what I've done?
I miss the life
I miss the colors of the world
Can anyone tell where I am?

'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Away from the sun again

I'm over this
I'm tired of living in the dark
Can anyone see me down here?
The feeling's gone
There's nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I know

And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
And now I can't tell what I've done

And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me

'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again

Oh no...
Yeah...
I'm gone...

3 Doors Down - Be Like That

He spends his nights...
     watching the stars on the big screen.
          Then he lies awake and he wonders,
               "Why can’t that be me?"

'Cause in his life he is filled
     With all these good intentions.
But just before he says goodnight,
     he looks up with a little smile at me.
And he says,

"If I could be like that,
     I would give anything
          just to live one day
               in those shoes."

If I could be like that,
     what would I do?
What would I do.

Now in dreams we run.

She spends her days...
     watching the people as they pass.
And all she wants is just
     a little piece of this dream.
          Is that too much to ask?

All she wants is
     just that something
          to hold onto.
               That’s all she needs.

I’m falling into this.
     In dreams we run away.

Falling in...
     I feel I am falling in,
          to this again.

He spends his nights in California
Watching the stars on the big screen.
Then he lies awake and he wonders
Why can’t that be me?
Cause in his life he is filled
With all these good intentions.
He’s left a lot of things
He’d rather not mention right now
But just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smile at me,
And he says,

If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes.
If I could be like that,
what would I do?
What would I do.

Now in dreams we run.

She spends her days up in the north park,
Watching the people as they pass.
And all she wants is just
A little piece of this dream,
Is that too much to ask?
With a safe home, and a warm bed,
On a quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to
Hold onto, that’s all she needs.

I’m falling into this.
In dreams we run away.

Falling in...
I feel I am falling in,
to this again.

3 Doors Down - When I'm Gone

There's another world inside of me
     that you may never see.
          There are secrets in this life
               that I can't hide.
Somewhere in this darkness
     there's a light that I can't find.
          Maybe it's too far away,
               or maybe I'm just blind.
Roaming through this darkness
     I'm alive but I'm alone.
          Part of me is fighting this
               but part of me is gone.

So hold me when I'm here.
     Right me when I'm wrong.
          Hold me when I'm scared.
               And love me when I'm gone.
Everything I am
     and everything in me
          wants to be the one
               you wanted me to be.
I'll never let you down
     even if I could.
          I'd give up everything
               if only for your good.

You can hold me when I'm scared.
     You won't always be there.
          So love me when I'm gone.

Love me when I'm gone.

There's another world inside of me that you may never see
There are secrets in this life that I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness there's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away, or maybe I'm just blind
Or maybe I'm just blind

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone

Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one
You wanted me to be

I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone

When your education X-Ray cannot see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing that I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this but part of me is gone

Love me when I'm gone.
