So we park these cars
In parent's garages
Listen to the lullaby
Of carbon monoxide
-War all the time -Thursday
The whole song is good, but those are some pretty well though out lines. I wish I could come up with stuff like that.

Thrice

Ya i love those lines!!

I need you like water in my lungs..

Brand New - Play Crack The Sky

I just got the Brand New CD (Deja Entendu) it totally kicks ass. They have a "listen to" section in their booklet, I can see that their musical influences are also quite varied.

Youth's the most unfaithful mistress,
Still we forge ahead to miss her,
Rushing our moment to shine...

...We're not twenty-one,
but the sooner we are,
the sooner the fun will begin,
so get out your fake eyelashes,
and fake i.d's,
and real disasters ensue,
it's cool to take these chances.
It's cool to fake romances.
and grow up fast, and grow up fast,
and grow up fast, and grow up fast.

-Dashboard Confessional - Swiss Army Romance

DismembermentPlan

Dismemberment plan have some really really cool lyrics...


This is from the "The City"...

Now I notice the streetlamp's hum
The ghosts of graffiti they couldn't quite erase
The blank-faced stares on the subway
As the people go home
The parks lay empty like my unmade bed
The streets are silent like my lifeless telephone
And this is where I live, but
I've never felt less at home
So I'm not unsympathetic
I see why you left
There's no one to know
There's nothing to do
The city's been dead
Since you've been gone


If anyone can find any lyrics from Lazycain, I'd be hugely gratefull. They have some mad music

my favorite song right now, brand new - no seatbelt song. i can't narrow it down to a few lines, so here's the song.

So, it's sad this doesn't suit you now
And me fresh out of rope
Please ignore the lisp
I never meant to sound like this
So take me and break me
And make me strong like you
I'll be forever grateful to
This and you
It's only you, beautiful
Or I don't want anyone
If I can choose
It's only you
Fix me to a chain around your neck
And wear me like a nickel
Even new wine served in old skins cheapens the taste
I shot the pilot
I'm begging you to fly this for me
I'm here for you to use
Broken and bruised
Do you understand?
It's only you, beautiful
Or I don't want anyone
If I can choose
It's only you
But how could I miscalculate
Perfect eyes will have perfect aim
If I can choose
it's only you
"We're wrecking"
And I'm dry like a drum
So fine I'll leave
We're spent
Take our time in trials
Measured in miles
And we slave for days
(And we)
It's only you, beautiful
Or I don't want anyone
If I can choose
It's only you
But how could I miscalculate
Perfect lies from a perfect hate
If I can choose
It's only you

HOOKED ON THE WHITE POWDER

Brokenbutsmiling

Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room, yeah

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Always someone

And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall, yeah

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder

All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on and i'll lead you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me

Thrice

I love the Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo dolls are quite possibly my favorite band ever. Dizzy up the girl is the greatest cd in my mind, the greatest cd period. You've got Iris, slide, Black Balloon, Broadway, and so much more. Then again, I'm addicted to the 90's.

When I was young I knew everything,
And she, a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbin' with my head on the floor
Stopped a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, no...


Can't be held responsible
She was touchin' her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place


For the life of me
I can not remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me
I can not believe we'd ever die
For these sins
We were merely freshmen

My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept
And now he's guilt-stricken, sobbin'
With his head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never really wept he said


We tried to wash our hands of all of this
We'd never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt-stricken sobbin' with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip we'd say...

We were merely freshmen
We were only freshmen

The Freshman by The Verve pipe. Bittersweet symphony rocks as well.

^ one of my favorite songs of all time, but it always gets me depressed, i couldn't listen to it for about 6 months a while ago.

I got the message long before you said you knew
There was no chance of us at all
With no velocity and empty-headed hard and far-to-long
I spent two years alone with you
Just when I thought I had forgotten
You came back soft without a sound

You said we were an accident
With accidents you’ll never know what could have been
So we were an accident
You’ll always be my favorite one

You hit the road and left me an ocean
I can't swim in the silence of your skin-skin please let me in
Side the times we never had right
Inside two years alone with you

You said we were an accident
With accidents you’ll never know what could have been
So we were an accident
You’ll always be my favorite one

we could have been
we could have been
instead of accidental running always running
why can’t you believe

Long winded promises of future company
Up close the sound remains the same
Without the reign of terror over every momentary change
We are exactly as before

You hit the road and left me an ocean
I can't swim in the silence of your skin-skin please let me in
Side the time I had to forget you
Inside no chance of us at all

motion city soundtrack - my favorite accident
