Look Ma - I'm roadkill!!

Song Lyrics that just fit one way or another

Switchfoot

"Meant To Live"

Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bid for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

[Chorus]

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

The Used

"The Taste of Ink"

Is it worth it can you even hear me

Standing with your spotlight on me

Not enough to feed the hungry

I'm tired and I felt it for awhile now

In this sea of lonely

The taste of ink is getting old

It's four o' clock in the fucking morning

Each day gets more and more like the last day

Still I can see it coming

While I'm standing in the river drowning

This could be my chance to break out

This could be my chance to say goodbye

At last it's finally over

Couldn't take this town much longer

Being half dead wasn't what I planned to be

Now I'm ready to be free

So here I am it's in my hands

And I'll savor every moment of this

So here I am alive at last

And I'll savor every moment of this

And won't you think I'm pretty

When I'm standing top the bright lit city

And I'll take your hand and pick you up

And keep you there to so you can see

As long as you're alive and care

I promise I will take you there

And we'll drink and dance the night away

As long as you're alive

Here I am

I promise I will take you there

Audioslave

"Like A Stone"

On a cobweb afternoon
In a room of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go

[Chorus]
In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone I'll wait for you there
Alone

On my deathbed I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The win was bled
And there you led me on

[Chorus]

And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wonder on

[Chorus]

Trapt

"Still Frame"

Please help me 'cause I'm breaking down,
this picture's frozen and I can't get out (of here)
Believe me, I'm just as lost as you
And every time I think I've finally made it
I learn I'm farther away than I've ever been before
I see the clock and it's ticking away, and the hourglass empty
What the fuck do I have to say
Keep it inside the image portrayed
As if I couldn't stand losing as if I couldn't be saved, no way
A small confession I think I'm starting to lose it
I think I'm drifting away from the people I really need
A small reflection on when we were younger
We had it all figured 'cause we had everything covered
Now we're older it's getting harder to see
What this future will hold for us, what the f*** are we going to be?
I'm afraid I'm falling farther away (from where I want to be)

Brand New

"Good To Know That If I Want Attention, All I Have To Do Is Die"

We were doomed from the start, as lovers are. Why am I doing this? Digging my own grave. Though it's shallow, I would lie in it. We're down in the basement, in the dark, after we crash your car. Hoping fast that my arrow hits the mark, so you know who we are. Please keep the reporters at bay. This a matter of life and death, but I deal with things like this everyday. Please keep the reporters at bay. You never do what I tell you to. You never do what I say. We've been hurting a long time. Trying hard for this. We all have sizeable scars. We got it. You'd break it all apart. We got it. We can make it work like this... Yes we are a bullet in the heart and the message sent. Always dragging your feet over sand and over hot cement. Make a list of your favorites. Write it down. Make it legible. A problem we're always facing. We never rest. You either push or pull. Please keep the crowd under control. This is a matter of life and death and we're not prepared. I just want you to know.
Please keep the crowd under control. This is the weight of my conscience. This is an all time low. We've been hurting a long time. Trying hard for this. We all have sizeable scars. We got it. You'd break it all apart. We got it. We can make it work like this... I see my baby. She's starry eyed. I feel my bones break all the time. I see my baby. She's starry eyed. She follows. Don't call me a god.
