Songs Tally

9th tally for Angels & Airwaves, 1st tally for Dry Your Eyes

Dry Your Eyes - Angels & Airwaves

I'm not for this and all you ever do is stall. I am so damn sick of trying and now we are fucked 'cause we've wrecked it all. I will not save you. So, dry your eyes, get on your feet, don't pretend to cry or fix you and I. Yeah, we're here again. So, follow me in. Today is the day it ends. I can't complain, it's been good - not great. But, the time flew by. It came from behind, it was flying. It was hard to hold on every time we'd fight and thought it would end - it's exhausting. It left cracks that would grow in and out of mine and into your heart like a virus. It would crawl and would crawl and we lay there blind. It broke you and I.

After Midnight - Blink-182

I can't find the best in all of this, but I'm always looking out for you. 'Cause you're the one I miss and it's driving me crazy. Bite your lips, your word's a robbery. Do you grin inside? You're killing me. All along we talked of forever, I kind of think that we won't get better. It's the longest start, but the end's not too far away. Did you know, I'm here to stay?

You don't really care about the trials of tomorrow.  Rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow.  I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold.  I'll be fine, once I get it.  I'll be good.

4th tally for The Starting Line, 4th tally for Ready

Ready - The Starting Line

I've been waiting for answers, dancing in circles, making me sick.  I've been chained like a tiger to hundreds of liars all holding hands.  Gonna get ready, gonna get ready.  Now, I'm calling all the time, all I wanted was a little bit of time to try, try to get up.  I'm gonna get up.  All they wanted was a little bit of time for me to clear my head, to clear my head.

1st tally for Rancid, 1st tally for Fall Back Down

Fall Back Down - Rancid

I've had a bad year, a lot to go through.  I've been knocked out, beat down, black and blue.  She's not the one coming back for you, she's not the one coming back for you.  If I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again.  If I fall back down, you're gonna be my friend.  If I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again.  If I fall back down, you're gonna be my friend.  It takes disaster to learn a lesson.

You killed what was left of the good in me.  I'm tired, so let me be broken.  Look down at the mess that's in front of me.  No other words need to be spoken and I've got nobody else to blame, though I tried.  Kept all of our past mistakes held inside.  I'll live with regret for my whole life.

29th tally for Say Anything, 3rd tally for Death For My Birthday

Songs of the Week

Angels & Airwaves fucking dominated my life the past few days.  Tom DeLonge's voice just has a way of making life seem less hectic, I guess.

The Future Freaks Me Out - Motion City Soundtrack

Betty, I need you. I miss you. I'm so alone without you to call up on the weekends with my cellular phone. Betty, it's so hard to relate to the whole human race. I don't know where to begin, I don't know where to begin. If we can both find a way to do the things that we say, we might not sit in our rooms and drink our daydreams away. Betty, I'm a dreamer. I'm not a vicious schemer. Oh, Betty, won't you - ah, fuck it.

7th tally for Jack's Mannequin, 1st tally for La La Lie

La La Lie - Jack's Mannequin

Guess what, I'm done writing you songs. You'll give up your job at the bank, proving money's not fun when you're gone. So, this is the first verse, it's not very long but I'm ready to move on. Guess what, I'm done writing your book. The ending got twisted around but for all the hell that it took. The electrical wires, they'll hum in the walls in the room that I rent now without you. I've got friends who la la lie.

41st tally for A Day to Remember, 7th tally for Better Off This Way

Better Off This Way - A Day to Remember

My whole life's spent waiting, ever since I can remember been anticipating your fall and God let it be a long one. Can't let go of my grudge 'til I know you're done. When you fall I'll be the only one who looks away. When you call I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay.

53rd tally for Blink-182, 2nd tally for Reckless Abandon

Reckless Abandon - Blink-182

On and on, reckless abandon. Something's wrong, this is gonna shock them. Nothing to hold on to. We'll use this song to lead you on and break the truth with more bad news. We left a scar size - extra large.

It's not gay when it's in a 3 way. With a honey in the middle there's some leeway.

4th tally for Powerspace, 4th tally for Sleep, Everyone...

Sleep, Everyone... - Powerspace

With so little sleep, at least you'd think I'd find some peace in my dreams, in my dreams. But, my mind still winds up on the same thing. The same scene. The same themes. 'Cause it's all stuck in my subconscious, built up from every day. So, I'm stuck with these nightmares where you're gone and so far away. And when I wake up, I realize that everything's still wrong. I'm still here and you're still gone. It's not fair. 'Cause either way I spin it, separation seems so wrong. These breaks are far too long for me.

7th tally for Angels & Airwaves, 1st tally for Surrender

Surrender - Angels & Airwaves

There is a place to hide. It's in our minds, it's in the dark. It's well known that we have a fragile heart. It's deep inside, it has a sound that you can follow. You feel like you hit a wall, but you survive. And it was hard for you to swallow, I've been to that place before. In spite of luck, when you awake, a new tomorrow  I, I will not surrender.

8th tally for Angels & Airwaves, 1st tally for Distraction

Distraction - Angels & Airwaves

I'll be your distraction.

Songs of the Week

The reason I keep writing these things each week is because it's a surreal way for me to look back and judge how I've been progressing through life.  Music really does score my life and my moods.  That being said, fucking Metro Station does nothing to narrate my life.  They're just terribly catchy.  Metro Station and Bone Crusher?  I don't even.

Out of Time - A Day to Remember

Just know that it kills me when I hear anything to do with you.  You will see, oh, believe me.  I need to be right where you are.  And know that I'm leaving and you won't hear for a year from now.  And this kills me, 'cause now I think that everything's, everything's about you.  I thought this was what you wanted.  Someone who gets everything right.  I thought this was what you wanted.  Someone to put you first in their life.

40th tally for A Day to Remember, 6th tally for Better Off This Way

Better Off This Way - A Day to Remember

You want it, you got it. You've always been such a waste of time. You want it, you got it. A friend of yours is no friend of mine. You want it, you got it. When will you act your age? You want it, you got it. You're the reason things have to change.

27th tally for Say Anything, 5th tally for Peace Out

Peace Out - Say Anything

I'll be fine, sever this for all time.  I'll laugh it off when this ends.  You can just go get high with all of your dumb friends, get high with all of your dumb friends.  You were my crutch, now I've escaped your clutch.  So, how is that worm's eye view?  I have grown two broad wings and now I'm above you.

Do It Alone - Sugarcult

Hello, can I say that there's something wrong with this place? I've got time, just to waste, if you would be my new escape.

Songs of the Week

This week really became centered around music on Tuesday.  There's a lot going on in my life right, more so than I'm used to.  A lot of moving parts and new things.  I'm nervous as fuck, but kind of enjoying every moment of it.  Music was there to put everything into perspective and slow things down.  Side note - it's almost impossible for me to choose just one part of the lyrics in the song Therapy.  I kind of wanted to post the entire thing.  My mind has been going a million miles a minute for over a week now.  Also, this is easily my most diverse group of musicians I've ever had in one week.  Kind of awesome, if you ask me.

Therapy - All Time Low

Give me therapy, I'm a walking travesty, but I'm smiling at everything. Therapy, you were never a friend to me. You can take back your misery. Arrogant boy, love yourself so no one has to. They're better off without you.  Arrogant boy, cause a scene like you're supposed to.  They'll fall asleep without you.  You're lucky if your memory remains.

1st tally for The Doors, 1st tally for Break on Through (To the Other Side)

11th tally for Green Day, 1st tally for Let Yourself Go

Let Yourself Go - Green Day

Cut the crap 'cause you're screaming in my ear and you're taking up all of the space. You're really testing my patience again and I'd rather get punched in the face.  You're getting on my every last nerve, everything you've said I've already heard.  I'm sick to death of your every least breath and I don't give a fuck anyway.

3rd tally for Box Car Racer, 2nd tally for Letters to God

Carolina Heat - You, Me and Everyone We Know

We're at the tip-top, yeah, we're not getting any better than this.  I'm out of lines, girl, we're not getting any smoother than this, but could you blame if I, if I, if I took you all for prisoner with just one line, one lie because I'll be the preacher to all his converts.  Donate now to my rightful cause.  But what good is a quick healing to go if the lesson is never learned, it's just like stitches for show?

1st tally for Eminem, 1st tally for Superman

Superman - Eminem

You don't want that, neither do I.  I don't want to flip when I see you with guys.  Too much pride, between you and I, not a jealous man, but females lie.  But, I guess that's just what sluts do, how could it ever be just us two?  I'd never love you enough to trust you, we just met and I just fucked you.
