List: Lyrics


I have been thinking over the past few days, and I think this is where I am at with this list of my favorite lyrics from songs. The issue is, there are sooo many to choose from. But I have narrowed it down to ten; and these are in no particular order.

Daisy by Brand New: Well if we take all these things and we bury them fast
And we'll pray that they turn to seeds, to roots and then grass
It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way
Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain
Like you knew he was trying to start things over again
It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way.

Zero-Sum by Nine Inch Nails: Shame on us, doomed from the start
May God have mercy on our dirty little hearts
Shame on us for all we have done
And all we ever were. Just zeroes and ones

Distraction by Angels and Airwaves: There’s a field nearby
With words written in stone
My love will not die
Please let it be known
This place is dead
It echoes through town
There isn’t one voice
I haven’t heard a sound
The planes flew in
Their bombs did too
The city fell flat
The fires, they grew
When the smoke comes in
It’ll color this town
But I’ll still have you
So I’ll say it aloud

The Good Left Undone by Rise Against: All because of you,
I believe in angels.
Not the kind with wings,
No, not the kind with halos,
The kind that bring you home,
When home becomes a strange place.
I’ll follow your voice,
All you have to do is shout it out.

The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut by Coheed and Cambria: Will they ever measure up
To the way you left me?
Here by the roadside
The bloodiest cadaver
Marked in your words:
I'm the joke,
I'm the bastard

Dirty Business by The Dresden Dolls: She's the kind of girl who gets her slings and arrows from the dumpster
The kind who tell you she's bipolar just to make you trust her
She's the kind of girl who leaves out condoms on the bedroom dresser
Just to make you jealous of the men she fucked before you met her

…And We All Have A Hell by From First To Last: Every day gets worse, 
Locked in a vice my thoughts perverse 
You must wonder why I look at you that way (that way)
Tonight I'll make my way into your house 
I must; I'm lusting for your body 
Skin looks tight, think I just might have 
To take a bite, but I know one will turn 
To three or four or more my little whore 

Dear God by Avenged Sevenfold: Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around
when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

All The Rage by Funeral For a Friend: I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy

Soul on Fire by HIM: We are like the living dead
Sacrificing all we have
For a frozen heart and a soul on fire

So there it is. My ten favorite lyrics from songs. I wanna know what your favorites are from this list, and feel free to comment your favorite lyrics.
