Sixx A.M. - Life Is Beautiful

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYlS_kmxES0



you can't quit until you try
you can't live until you die
you can't learn to tell the truth
until you learn to lie

you can't breathe until you choke
you gotta laugh when you're the joke
there's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive

just open your eyes
just open your eyes
and see that life is beautiful
will you swear on your life
that no one will cry at my funeral?

i know some things that you don't
i've done things that you won't
there's nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home

i was waiting for my hearse
what came next was so much worse
it took a funeral to make me feel alive

just open your eyes
just open your eyes
and see that life is beautiful
will you swear on your life
that no one will cry at my funeral? . . .

Three Days Grace - Break

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4VCpTZye10





Tonight my head is spinning
I need something to pick me up
I've tried but nothing is working
I won't stop, I won't say I've had enough

Tonight I start the fire
Tonight I break away

Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

At night I feel like a vampire
It's not right but I just can't give it up
I'll try to get myself higher
Let's go we're going to light it up

Tonight we start the fire
Tonight we break away

Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places


If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places


Higher places
To higher places
Higher places
Take yourself to higher places

3 Doors Down - When I'm Gone

dedicated to all the men and women serving our country

http://youtu.be/pFq1eT9tMJ4



there's another world inside of me
that you may never see
there's secrets in this life that i can't hide
well, somewhere in this darkness
there's a light that i can't find
mabe it's too far away
maybe i'm just blind
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
give up everything
if only for your good

so hold me when i'm here
right me when i'm wrong
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 . . .

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
now 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
give up everything
if only for your good

so hold me when i'm here
right me when i'm wrong
hold me when i'm scared
you won't always be there
so love me when i'm gone

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
give up everything
if only for your good

so hold me when i'm here
right me when i'm wrong
hold me when i'm scared
you won't always be there
so love me when i'm gone . . .

puddle of mudd - blurry

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJJsoquu70o



everything's so blurry
and everyone's so fake
and everybody's empty
and everything is so messed up
pre-occupied without you
i cannot live at all
my whole world surrounds you
i stumble then i crawl

you could be my someone
you could be my scene
you know that i'll protect you
from all of the obscene
i wonder what you're doing
imagine where you are
there's oceans in between us
but that's not very far

can you take it all away?
can you take it all away?
well you shoved it in my face
this pain you gave to me
can you take it all away?
can you take it all away?
well you shoved it in my face

everyone is changing
there's no one left that's real
so make up your own ending
and let me know just how you feel
'cause i am lost without you
i cannot live at all
my whole world surrounds you
i stumble then i crawl

you could be my someone
you could be my sea
you know that i will save you
from all of the unclean
i wonder what you're doing
i wonder where you are
there's oceans in between us
but that's not very far

can you take it all away?
can you take it all away?
well you shoved it in my face
this pain you gave to me
can you take it all away?
can you take it all away?
well you shoved it in my face
this pain you gave to me

oh, nobody told me what you thought
nobody told me what to say
everyone showed you where to turn
told you where to run away
nobody told you where to hide
nobody told you what to say
everyone showed you where to turn
showed you where to run away

can you take it all away?
can you take it all away?
well you shoved it in my face
this pain you gave to me . . .

pain ya gave to me . . .
