Since my last song meme relied on a non-representative sample of my music, here's another, with relatively RECENT music!

( Yeah, I'm nuts )

Pardon me while I burst
pardon me while I burst

A decade ago, I never thought I would be at twenty three
on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me
but I guess that it comes with the territory
an ominous landscape of never ending calamity
I need you to hear, I need you to see
that I have had all I can take
and exploding seems like a definite possibility to me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games
so pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me
I'll never be the same

Not two days ago I was having a look in a book
and I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
I said I can relate
cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
as a welcomed vacation from
the burdens of the planet earth
like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D
but thinking so much differently

Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games
so pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me
I'll never be the same
never be the same, yeah

Pardon me while I burst into flames
pardon me, pardon me, pardon me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games
so pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me
I'll never be the same
pardon me, never be the same, yeah

Incubus, "Pardon Me"

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes

[Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow]
Every step that I take is
Another mistake to you

I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
'Cause everything you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you

[Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow]
Every step that I take is
Another mistake to you
And every second I waste
Is more than I can take
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

But I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you

I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

As of today I am now officially certified by the Red Cross to perform CPR and first aid.

Thank you, tigerphoenix, for being you, my heart, my love.

Thank you, siliconrose and cyfis, for being true friends.

Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away.

I wrote one of my own "choose lyrics from an album" posts, just because I think Flaw has become my new gospel. Thank you, tigerphoenix, for helping me meet the band. Literally.

Flaw, Through the Eyes

1. Who are you?
I may not be much of an example right now
But I can give you all of my knowledge on how
To get along in this place. Right now all I can say
Is I will do the best that I can
To be a good example of man
And I know one day that you'll understand
You deserve the best that I am
--Best I Am

2. Describe your life for the past year
Maybe things happen for a reason and wherein lies the answer
To overcome the grieving of life's unruly lessons I'm handed in succession
It builds my pain which makes me strong.
It's mine and it's pure and as decent as I can make myself.
Inside, we all know only the strong survive.
--Only The Strong

3. What do you want for your future?
Reach out your hands
Out for the ones who aid when the going gets rough
Until the end
These are the ones who help when the times get tough
Times will get tough
Get up again.
Times will get tough.
Just get up again.
--Get Up Again

4. What do you fear coming about in the future?
Then you came right in, tearing out my soul
How could all this loss be your only goal
I'm left standing here, desperate in the cold
Since you took your life, mine has not been whole.
-- Whole

5. What would you like people to view you as?
It's so hard, so hard to think abour when I was a child
So angry at life, I blamed the world for such a long, long time
But things happened so quickly, some people just go
I needed answer to heal me, I wanted to know
How to get by
And now it's my turn to say
That I will do the best that I can
To be a good example of man
And I know one day that you'll understand
You deserve the best that I am
So I gotta do the best that I can
To be a good example of man
And I know one day that you'll understand
You deserve the best that I am, I am, I am
This is all for you
Everything in this world, everything in my world
This is all for you
Everything in this world, everything in your world
Things won't always go right in this life
There's always changes. We'll make it
That's why I gotta do the best that I can
To be a good example of man
And I know one day that you'll understand
You deserve the best that I am.
--Best I Am

Promises -- Megadeth

Two hearts that shouldn't
Talk to each other become close
In a town much like a prison cell

People speak our names
On the street in hushed tones
Oh the stories they'd tell
If anyone would listen

You come from a town where
People don't bother saying hello
Unless somebody's born or dies

And I come from a place where they
Drag your hopes through the mud
Because their own dreams are all dying

And when we walk down the street
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
The sounds of the night should make us anxious
But it's much to late when the fear is gone

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise

There's so many fighting
To get past the Pearly Gates
But nobody ever wants to die or get saved

Their intentions aren't that good
And I can smell the asphalt
That's their personal road to hell being paved

And when we walk down the street
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
But it's much to late when the fear is gone

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise

Solo - Pitrelli / Solo - Mustaine

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise

We are the Garou Zombies
Our rock-paper-scissors you cannot defeat
We are the Garou Zombies
And after our game, we're beat.

An evening of fighting and spirits and adventure
A night of intrigue and mystery and more
A wonderful night filled with game pleasure
And now that we're finished we'd just like to snore.

For we are the Garou Zombies
We know the rulebook by heart
We are the Garou Zombies
And now we'll make sleeping into an art.

New blood joins this earth
and quickly he's subdued
through constant pain disgrace
the young boy learns their rules

with time the child draws in
this whipping boy done wrong
deprived of all his thoughts
the young man struggles on and on he's known
a vow unto his own
that never from this day
his will they'll take away

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never free
never me
so I dub thee unforgiven

they dedicate their lives
to running all of his
he tries to please them all
this bitter man he is
throughout his life the same
he's battled constantly
this fight he cannot win
a tired man they see no longer cares
the old man then prepares
to die regretfully
that old man here is me

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never free
never me
so I dub thee unforgiven

you labeled me
I'll label you
so I dub thee unforgiven

Breaking through the shining clouds, I'm gonna fly away! ( Fly away! )
Spreading through my body, feel the power through my soul!
Kicked in the face. The earth is mad as a fire brigade! ( Fire brigade! )
Can't you feel it building up for her to blow?
If there ever was a dinosaur.
In a mound of icicles,
I would wanna train it to ride a ball.

Cha La! Head Cha La!
No matter if ever anything could happen,
Nothing can stop me now!
Cha La! Head Cha La!
Oh my heart just keeps sparking up like a ball of flame.
Oh, yes, it make me fired up! Sparking!

I feel it. Freedom in the sky, my roller coaster! ( Coaster! )
Coming down to panic, chaos that spread over the ground!
Take the scenic route down and upside-down. I'm like a melting star! (Melting star! )
And the world seems faster as she's turning round!
There's no time for me to mope and cry.
I've got to get started now.
Adventures are so much the meaning to life!

Cha La! Head Cha La!
Got so much space in my burning heart, now.
I'll take it up with all the world.
Cha La! Head Cha La!
Smiling away, away today.
I'm ultra z! Ai-yai-yai-yai!

Cha La! Head Cha La!
No matter if ever anything could happen,
Nothing can stop me now!
Cha La! Head Cha La!
Oh my heart just keeps sparking up like a ball of flame.
Oh, yes, it make me fired up! Sparking!

(Yes, someone's been listening to Sunny Came Home a little too much. Someone has also been playing Werewolf too much...)

Shadow came home to the Penumbra
Shadow sat down in his Glade
He started a Rite of Spirit Summoning
Shadow went off on a tirade
He says
Days go by and hypnotize
It's all just Drang and Sturm
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Against the Wyrm

Shadow came home with a list of names
Of people so dumb, it was transcendant
"It's time for a few simple lessons," he said
Shadow came home with a vengeance
He says
Days go by and hypnotize
It's all just Drang and Sturm
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Against the Wyrm

Get the cubs and bring a Grand Klaive
On this Umbra Trip you must be brave
Count the fools who simply won't learn
Light a match and watch them all burn
Oh-oh, days go by and hypnotize
It's all just Drang and Sturm
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Against the Wyrm
Ohh, light the skies and join the fight
The world is burning down
He's out there on his own, and he's all right...
Shadow came home...

The long-awaited fifth season of Daria is FINALLY coming. February.... Woohoo!

Freakin' friends
Freakin friends
Till we come to bad ends
We're freakin' friends!

Lay beside me
Under wicked sky
Through black of day, dark of night
We share this paralyze
The door cracks open....
But there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still
But there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through...
No there's no sun shining

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
What I've felt, what I've known
So sick and tired, I stand alone
Will you be there, 'cuz I'm the one who waits for you?
Or are you unforgiven too?
