'Mix Tape' by Brand New.

I got a twenty-dollar bill
That says no one's ever seen you without makeup
You're always made up
And I'm sick of your tattoos
And the way you always criticize the Smiths
And Morrissey
And I know that you're a sucker
For anything acoustic
But when I say let's keep in touch
I really mean I wish that you'd grow up
This is the first song for your mixtape
And it's short just like your temper
Somewhat golden like the afternoons we used to spend before you got too cool
I got a twenty-dollar bill
That says no one's ever seen you without makeup
You're always made up
And I'm sick of your tattoos
And the way you don't appreciate Brand New
Or me
And I know that you're a sucker
For anything acoustic
But when I say let's keep in touch
I hope you know I mean I wish that you'd grow up
This is the first song for your mixtape
And it's short just like your temper
Somewhat golden like the afternoons we used to spend before you got too cool
(Yeah, but I wish you were my shadow)
(Yeah, but I wish you were my shadow)
(Yeah, but I wish you were my shadow)
(Yeah, but I wish you were my shadow)
(Yeah, but I wish you were my shadow)
(Yeah, but I wish you were my shadow)

'the Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot' by Brand New.

I'm in a Brand New Mood. Leave me aloneeee~

If it makes you less sad
I will die by your hand
I hope you find out what you want
I already know what I am
And if it makes you less sad
We'll start talking again
And you can tell me how vile
I already know that I am
I'll grow old
Start acting my age
I'll be a brand new day
In a life that you hate
A crown of gold
A heart that's harder than stone
And it hurts a whole lot
But it's missed when it's gone
Call me a safe bet
But I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad that you can forgive
I'm only hoping as time goes
That you can forget
If it makes you less sad
I'll move out of the state
You can keep to yourself
I'll keep out of your way
And if it makes you less sad
I'll take your pictures all down
Every picture you paint
I will paint myself out
It's cold as a tomb
And it's dark in your room
When I sneak to your bed
To pour salt in your wounds
So call it quits
Or get a grip
You say you wanted a solution
You just wanted to be missed
Call me a safe bet
I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad that you can forgive
I'm only hoping as time goes
You can forget
(So you can forget)
(You can forget)
You are calm and reposed
It lets your beauty unfold
Pale white like the skin stretched over your bones
Spring keeps you ever close
You are second hand smoke
You are so fragile and thin
Standing trial for your sins
Holding onto yourself the best you can
You are the smell before rain
You are the blood in my veins
Call me a safe bet
I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad that you can forgive
I'm only hoping as time goes
You can forget

"Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap

Where are we?
What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to fall,
Crop circles in the carpet,
Sinking feeling.

Spin me round again and rub my eyes,
This can't be happening,
When busy streets amass with people
Won't stop to hold their heads heavy.

Hide and seek,
Trains and sewing machines
All those years, they were here first.

Oily marks appear on walls,
Where pleasure moments hung before
The takeover,
The sweeping insensativty of this
Still lies.

Hide and seek,
Dreams of sweing machines, Oh you won't catch me around here
Blood and tears,
They were here first

Mmm what you say,
Mmm that you only meant well, well 'course you did
Mmm what you say,
Mmm that it's all for the best, of course it is.
Mmm what you say,
Mmm that is just what we need, you decided this,
Mmm what you say,
Mmm what did she say?

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth,
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper cut-outd
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you,
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth,
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper cut-outs,
Speak no feeling, no i don't believe you,
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
You don't care a bit, no no, you don't care a bit
No no, you don't care a bit,
No no, you don't care a bit, you don't care a bit...

How each of us decides
I've never been sure
The part we play
The way we are
How each of us denies any other way in the world
Why each of us must choose
I've never understood
One special friend
One true love
Why each of us must lose everyone else in the world

However unsure
However unwise
Day after day play out our lives
However confused
Pretending to know to the end

But this isn't truth this isn't right
This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
This is a lie

How each of us believes
I've never really known
In heaven unseen and hell unknown
How each of us dreams to understand anything at all
Why each of us decides
I've never been sure
The part we take
The way we are
Why each of us denies every other way in the world

However unsure
However unwise
Day after day play out our lives
However confused
Pretending to know to the end

But this isn't truth this isn't right
This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
This is a lie
This isn't truth this isn't right
This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
This is a lie

Quote:

White Pearl, Black Oceans...
(Tony Kakko)

I was born and raised by the sea, Shy yet proud,
Learned to stay away from the crowd
In my home, my lighthouse...
1000 steps down, round and round
New Years Eve, one night in the town
can change one life into eternity...

All I could see, her eyes,
we got caught in the moment, all of the night
Taken beyond all lines,
in silence leaving 'em all behind

She had found the sails, for the following night
The town, for her, was getting way too small
She promised to be mine
Forever, ...for that one night...

Moments, passion, small defeats
Concealed emotions, found in me
"You gave life to a brand new me..."

Crossing the wintry fields,
the first hour of morning light
Warmed by the flame inside,
the lasting memory of the ending night

I never had a chance to stop what hit me...
What broke my bones and mauled me...
After hours of deep, unwilling sleep... in a cold shelter
Fell back in the dark, and the hours of the day passed...

A Nightmare awakes me, blinking light!
There's no guide, blind ships in the night
Oh blood red moon, eat away the night

Darkness covers my lonely soul,
No one to feed the dying light...

Good morn', oh dreadful day,
I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me...
For the sails of night,
"please tell me everything's alright..."

My voice in the room broke the silence,
everybody killed me with their eyes...
What I was to hear made the people cry,
impossible for me to keep the tears inside

"All on the board White Pearl have died,
Coastal reef have tolled their lives
And you are the light of the night..."

One thing, I remember, before I fell on the ground...
Although I never saw the face,
A name was inked in his arm...

Love can be like poetry of demons, or maybe
God loves complex irony?
The family name stated I had seen before...
Written on her front door...

"Silence in the courthouse!"
A presence in the room, we both could feel
The father of her unborn child and me

All on the board White Pearl I have died,
Coastal reef have tolled their lives
While I was the guide light...
Back in my tower, run, run, run
Light is out, I hope to see
Black oceans beneath rise and swallow me

One step will take me back inside, another sees my end
No one can love a man who guarded the light
that died one faithful night, so many lives...
Flaming eyes I must confront before I'm truly stated free

Defining innocence is hell, after all that has past...
Building new walls inside my eternal night...
although they took my heart and dried me up
Sometimes I still bleed...

Show me the way
The light will show me a way on the grisly reefs
Too many dead ends I see
No soul can save me
The respect I lost, the measure of a man...

10.000 steps down, round and round
One night at the town and I'm hell bound
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me
All on the board White Pearl had died,
Coastal reef come toll my life
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me

My little tower, seal my fate
Help me pay back, end their hate
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me
One direction, down, down, down
Pitch black night for my old town
Black oceans beneath shall now swallow me

You have to listen and read the lyrics at the same time to fully understand. It is making me cry so hard right now.

Also the music video to The Islander by Nightwish makes me cry.
