-A rock revival playlist for present self.
This is my life
Its not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
And these are my dreams
That I'd never lived before
Somebody shake me
'Cause I , I must be sleeping
Now that we're here,
It's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All in the mistakes,
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day, and I can forgive
And I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today
These are my words
That I've never said before
I think I'm doing okay
And this is the smile
That I've never shown before
I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
3. Straight To Video ● Mindless Self Indulgence
All aboard
Hit the road
All the bullshit
Can't be ignored
It's hard to place
In my face
No emotion
All the problems
Make me wanna go
Like a bad girl
Straight to video
Little darling
Welcome to the show
You're a failure
Played in stereo
Hiedi ho
Here we go
No solution
Strong undertow
4. Behind Blue Eyes ● Limp Bizkit
No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like i do, and i blame you!
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
5. Crawling ● Linkin Park
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling. I can't seem...
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
I've felt this way before
So insecure
6. Jesus of Suburbia ● Green Day
I'm the son of rage and love
The Jesus of Suburbia
From the bible of none of the above
On a steady diet of
Soda pop and Ritalin
No one ever died for my sins in hell
As far as I can tell
At least the ones I got away with
And there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be
In a land of make believe
That don't believe in me
Dearly beloved are you listening?
I can't remember a word that you were saying
Are we demented or am I disturbed?
The space that's in between insane and insecure
Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
Am I retared or am I just overjoyed?
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse.
I lost my faith to this
This town that don't exist
So I run, I run way
To the lights of masochist
I don't feel any shame, I won't apologize
When there ain't nowhere you can go
Running away from pain when you've been victimized
Tales from another broken home
7. Rusted From The Rain ● Billy Talent
You hung me like a picture, now I'm just a frame
I used to be your lap dog, now I'm just a stray
Shackled in a graveyard, left here to decay
Left here to decay, left here to decay,
I'm rusted from the rain
Go on, crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
Come on, strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains
And if I'm the King of cowards, you're the Queen of pain
I'm rusted from the rain
8. The Bird and The Worm ● The Used
He wears his heart safety-pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers whose glances can cripple
The heart and devour the soul
All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside to save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird
9. The Ghost of You ● My Chemical Romance
At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are never coming home, never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home, never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me
Fall on my knees, fall on my pride
I'm trippin' over all the times I've lied.
I'm askin please but I can see in Your eyes
You don't need tears for alibis.
It's true what they say, love must be blind
That's why Your still standing by the sinner's side.
You're still by my side when all the things I've done have left You bleedin'.
Come undone, surrender is stronger,
I don't need to be the hero tonight.
We all want love, we all want honor
Nobody wants to pay the asking price.
11. Bring Me To Life ● Evanessence
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead
Wake me up
Bid my blood to run
I can't wake up
Before I come undone
Save me
Save me from the nothing I've become
12. Nothing To Lose ● Billy Talent
Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know
Put concrete in my veins
Took a long hard look, at my life.
Lost my way, while I was fighting the tide.
A big black cloud, stormy sky.
Followed me, oh I was living a lie.
So heartless, so selfish, so in darkness, when all your nights are
Starless,
You're running outta hope.
But I found the strength inside to see, found the better part of me,
And I'll never let it go.
When you're gone for a day, on your own.
Tear your heart out just to find your way home.
I've been so high, I've sunk so low.
I've come so far, with nothing to show, for it.
Mistaken, I got so good at taking,
But now I'm tired of faking.
This story's getting old.
So I found the strength inside to see, from the better part of me,
And I'll never let it go.
14. River Below ● Billy Talent
Rejected since day one
My name is bastard son
I've been damned so many times I've lost count
Blue collar working man
Devises master plan
Bi-polar with a mental side arm
I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go
15. Take Me Away ● Avril Lavigne
I cannot find a way to describe it
It's there inside, all I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do, you do if you knew?
What would you do?
I feel like I am all alone
All by myself I need to get around this
My words are cold
I don't want them to hurt you
If I show you I don't think you'd understand
All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable, come and take me away
