Brains For Actors [Pop Rock]

baby listen to me please I have something to say

I wasn't thinking clearly, haven't been so sure for so long

life keeps rushing by my face

flying through time and space too fast for me to stay on course

I'm crashing down into the land, hit a mountain, now I'm down

the sky is dangerous, don't stay so high for too long

you'll be like me and just do things

no thought involved, you just do it 'cause you think you can

that's what's been going on for me

wish it'd change 'cause it's killing me
I don't want to be a piece of shit but it seems I am anyway

I can't change the way I am, I'm too far into this trap

I'm not thinking all this through anymore than I should

maybe less than I'd like to say I'm thinking through

I swear it's not intentional but it happens to be this way

wish it'd stop and I could change

somehow I think there's little hope to fix it all

take me back to the day when you were there on your own in need of help

I'm sure I'd help you once again but wouldn't leave you anymore

take us back to the time when I said I'm leaving you

I'll change that day to be the way it ought to be

so many things that I would change if I could just go back in time

everyone would be happy with their lives the way that they should be

I wouldn't ruin another life if I could stop myself from this

I would stop myself from falling for this one and all the others that I've met

you're the one for me forever and I'll stop myself from this

why should I change for you if you hate the way I am

I hate myself, you know it's true because of you and me, it's life

Rain Storm [Rock]

try and wash away your tracks in the rain

guilt is closing in, you know you're so wrong

what's left behind, not washed away

you left behind enough to get caught

the rain won't wash away all of your tracks

if you want to be free, then burn all that's left

the rain can not take all of the pain

the tracks are so thin, but you're still around

now guilt closes in, you know you've done wrong

keep coming back, see if you're found

your tracks are so thin, hidden within

watching your back, you cover the end with the rain

tears wash away all that's behind

I've got you near, discovered you're here

burning the pain, watching the rain

going insane, you wait for the pain

are you sorry for what's done

you use the rain to hide what's behind

well the rain can't hide all of your past

your mistakes are undone, but the fact is still there

watching the rain, crying in vain

guilt closes in and you know you're undone

you're so afraid of what you can do

so wash away all of the pain

The Truthful Lies [Pop Punk]

every day I'm asked the same things from those who know of our past

what went wrong when we lasted for so long

and I can't even say a thing 'cause I'm ashamed of who I am

I don't want to be this way but it's life, that's who I am

now I don't want to be this way, I'm ashamed of who I am

what's become of myself

and why would I lie at all, no one trusts the liar's truth

I'm ashamed of who I am but it's life it's who I am

every day they say the things I don't want to hear from them

I can't say a thing to them 'cause I'm ashamed of who I am

if I say anything, it won't help a thing at all

and when I tell the truth to you, you don't think it's really true

'cause I've lied so much before, couldn't stop it anytime

and no one trusts the lies I say even if the truth is heard

and I can't say the things I've done

'cause I don't want to be this way, who I am isn't right

I don't want to be this way, it's who I am, I want to change

anything I say is classified as lies and nothing else

someone save me and help me out 'cause I don't want to be this way

the way I am is killing me

tried to run and hide from it,

that made it worse, it didn't help a bit

all the times they ask me what went wrong with us

I can't say a thing to them 'cause if I do I'll cry in shame

I hate the thing that I've become, so ashamed of who I am

all these things I've said and done are killing me inside the heart

I warn you now to stay away 'cause I don't want to hurt you too

I'm ashamed of who I am, I don't want to be this way

California Lies [Metal]

break down your walls of security

deserve no better than a rotting hell

maybe I mean it, maybe I don't

holding you down now you're on the floor

 

breaking my walls down

I'm on my way to a bitter place

I once heard a man, well he said just one thing

all I heard himn say is how he loves his life

 

my mind won't let me be

content with who I am

take me down to Hell

you'll see that I don't care

 

Hell is where I live

I want to bring you down with me

wish I wasn't me

my life's too full of pain

 

I'm glad it may be me instead of someone else

deserving of this pain

I'll bring you down with me

fall into my grave, stay above the sea

The Endless Fall [Alternative Rock]

close your eyes and feel the fall

lean on back, you're on the edge

take the fall and have the end

you're at peace so now's the time

 

in the end you find it all

all the things you kept inside

you should have said, I could have helped

could have saved you from the fall

 

lean right back all the way

falling now you wish you'd stayed

could have had some help through this

take the fall and save regret

 

here's your chance to save yourself

talk to me in rewound time

life is worth more than this

don't throw away all you have

 

shed some light on the darkest sighs

every breath could be your last

I'm all ears so speak to me

close your eyes and take the fall

Devil's Water [Alternative Rock]

the ocean's never your friend

it kills all your life

everyone you know has died

here comes the monsoon, run away

 

tsunami follows, can you escape

the sun is fading along with your dreams

somday you'll find a way to say

your life's just an endless Hell

 

angels don't watch for you at all

demons lead the path you're on

waves crash and bring you down to Hell

kill yourself, the rain will wash away your tears

 

cutting life into dead pieces

bring yourself down to lower things

take a breath and feel the salt inside your veins

stinging pain you can't escape

 

can you find the end or is it near your time

the ocean calls for you

lightning crashes down around you

can you find a way to leave this all behind

 

here's the light, it's leaving far behind

wait in the ocean and have the world end

salty veins and deadly tears everywhere

say goodbye now you're leaving me

Ring of Blood [Pop Rock]

your smile's heaven, blend that with Eden

sorry but mankind is sacred

we can't make love yet for it is sacred

to make love is special, something for two

you know how much I love you

someday I'll lay my heart down on the line

I give you my only heart, dear

tell me something lovely face

what do you think of mistakes

do you think it's true or a myth

and what's your view on true love

I believe in both of those I say it proud

you are my one, my only love

here's a ring to show my love

it's package says to handle with care

is it maybe more than just a ring

it's my heart inside the ring

keep it real and wear it true

if you ever forget our love

please take my heart and tear it up

Childhood Friendship [Post-Hardcore]

we grew up together, shared so many dreams

lived where there's no hope

so many times we said we'd grow up great

yet in the end I saw you walk away

 

spent a hundred years wasting life away

the sad part is my only hope

left me years ago to find somebody else

I never even thought that you would leave me behind

 

you were who I trusted when everything went wrong

two thousand years went by

and when I say you next you were a different man

someone I can't trust the way I could before

 

you were just a cheat, nothing but a lie

when my life was fading

you turned the other way, chose to walk away

never said a thing or even look at me

Burning Car [Pop Rock / Acoustic]

last night I heard the worst thing

the cops had called and said what's wrong

you're nearly gone and I should come

in a bed, you're nearly dead

in a coma, may never see

the perfect face of yours again

I can't bear to see your pain

the doctor said that you can hear the things I say

they say that you may never see

the light of day again

if you can hear everything

let me say just one thing, "I love you dear"

"you are my life, my everything"

baby please don't leave me here

on my own, there's nothing left for me

midnight comes and you're not doing well

now it's Sunday, the day of God

pray to God that you're okay

as time goes by, you near your death

now you're gone and I'm in tears

baby please come back to me

they say you hear what I say

baby please come back to me

my world now has gone away

all the things we never did

you know I loved you more than anything

now that's gone, there's nothing left

fell in love but now you're gone



Whispering Wind [Alternative Rock]

softly the wind blows and the willow whispers

as the moon comes to view out of the clouds

the wind blows stronger, takes you away

listen so closely and hear the soft whisper within the wind

hear the low sound of the song they play

calling for you, they want you to come home

softly the wind howls, it calls for you

bringing some peace to this land of hatred

drifting to safety, let the wind lead you home

you're safe and you're sound, and all is just fine

watching the moon turn night into day

calming your mind, watching time fly

I'll carry you home, my voice is the wind

doubt fills your mind, I sense it within you

leave all these thoughts to die with the wind

night turns to day and suddenly there's joy

hear the birds sing with perfect tune

now here comes the sun, light up the sky

feelings of bliss replace all your doubt

I'll carry you home and bring you some peace

keep yourself calm and whisper downwind "take me away"

and follow the sound of the place in your heart

where you want to go to just get away

I"ll make sure you're strong and keep you alive

Symbol of Peace [Rock]

I once was free, a beautiful bird

soaring through time and space

now I won't be but a thoughtless tree

chop me down and watch me turn to ash

I once was free as a careless bird, wings attached yet falling free

where's the light to hide my plight

breaking the bounds, what's left undone

careless and free, where's my escape, is there no escape

the only mistake I can't retake

well you can't retake the trials of life

think so clear before you're here, yeah it's near, oh so clear

you can't unwind the mistakes and fakes

this is the final test that you'll take

release the pain, set yourself free

your wings must be earned, then you'll be free

I am a bird, my wings, they were earned

now I've lost my wings, no longer so free

no longer a bird, I've lost my escape

follow your heart and do what is right

you won't be like me, forever be free
