Everybody Hates You
Song by Citizen Soldier

Breathe in, breathe out
My middle name is nervous breakdown
I sure could use a friend, cheaper than Vicodin
Fake lives, fake love, got money but I still feel bankrupt
It's so hard to fit in, when there's no oxygen

What the hell is wrong with me?
Overthinking reality, calm down, it'll be okay
But the voices in my head say

La-la, loser, you've got no friends, nobody gives a damn
'Cause everybody hates you, everybody hates you
La-la, loser, please just go home, 'cause you're gonna die alone
'Cause everybody hates you, everybody hates you
 
Pallbearer - The Ghost I Used to Be

Strange shards
All relics of the path
That I have followed
To dead ends
Embed in wounds
All doors into the past
They've barred themselves
But scars have failed
Torn open far too soon
And with time
The shards transform to keys
Fit for lowest depths
Unlocked truths to reveal
Sharpened fine
The keys all sink within
My time has come
Accepting fate
Light disappears again
Fading eyes
No paths I see now
I become the ghost
The ghost I used to be
I searched throughout the void
(I chose this)
For the scraps of life I have left behind
Each one has left me knowing
(I feel nothing)
This path may never reach an end for me
And with a spectral breath
I'm begging to be freed
This burden of regret
Kindling to ignite
And a necessary end
To living in a lie
So when all fires burn cold
Leave behind a glowing husk
The ghost that I become again
Glides back into the dusk
Alone
 
And it couldn't be that all these pious people are liars
It couldn't be an artifact of confirmation bias
A product of groupthink, a mass delusion
An Emperor's New Clothes-style fear of exclusion
No, it's more likely to be an all-powerful magician
Than the misdiagnosis of the initial condition
Or one of many cases of spontaneous remission
Or a record-keeping glitch by the local physician
No, the only explanation for Sam's mum's seeing
They prayed to an all-knowing super-being
To the omnipresent master of the universe
And he quite liked the sound of their muttered verse
So for a bit of a change from his usual stunt
Of being a sexist, racist, murderous cunt
He popped down to Dandenong and just like that
Used his powers to heal the cataracts of Sam's mum
Of Sam's mum

Thank you God for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum
I didn't realize that it was such a simple thing
I feel such a dingaling, what ignorant scum
Now I understand how prayer can work
A particular prayer in a particular church
In a particular style with a particular stuff
And for particular problems that aren't particularly tough
And for particular people, preferably white
For particular senses, preferably sight
A particular prayer in a particular spot
To a particular version of a particular god
And if you get that right, He just might
Take a break from giving babies malaria
And pop down to your local area to fix the cataracts of your mum
 
While She Sleeps - Love At War

They gave their selves to the streets they saved
They took the challenge to keep our faith
They gave their selves to the streets they saved
They took the challenge to keep our faith
We can't imagine the way
We can't imagine the day
They put their hate in the waves
They put their heart in the way
They gave their selves to the streets they saved
They fought to keep our faith
Cut their lives away from safe, to save
Leave the blind alone in the reign
But I know I couldn't be taught to
Die with pride, for queen or country
I know I couldn't be taught to die
Not another slave to the hive
Not another slave to the hive
I've seen the names
I'm not young and afraid
The number's the same
They could decide when we die
But we decide what we defend
We sing the sorrow of the dead from our souls
And hope that they found peace dying alone
We sing the sorrow of the dead from our souls
And hope that they found peace dying alone
Cut their lives away from safe, to save
The mindless freedom puts our nation to shame
Are you grateful of the graves?
I speak the words of a weathered man
There's blood on the streets that my son walks down
If we suffered for this, it has to change
They gave their selves to the streets they saved
They took the challenge to keep our faith
They gave their selves to the streets they saved
They took the challenge to keep our faith
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
 
Flawless
Dorothy

You said you loved me but you threw me out in the garbage
Now I'm starting to stink but everyone thinks I'm flawless
Listen to me, I can't be what you want me to
I just came like this, I'm already black and blue

You said you loved but you put my shit on the sidewalk
You like it when I fall and you laugh when I run into the wall
You gave nothing, I put my heart out on the table
I wasn't always willing but baby I was always able, yeah

Oh... slipping into some kinda feeling
Got me believing
Oh... coming out of all of the darkness
Now that I'm flawless
 
Lamb of God ~ Omerta

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward
Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant
"If I live I will kill you, if I die you are forgiven"
Such is the rule of honor

Broken the paradigm, an example must be set
Invoke the siren's song and sign the death warrant
This is what has been wrought for 30 pieces of silver
The tongues of men and angels bought by a beloved betrayer

I am the result, what's better left unspoken
Violence begins to mend, what was broken
You've been talking, I've been all ears
Words meant to dwell in darkness shall never see the light of day

Words can be broken so can bones, execute the mandate
Mouth full of dirt, your name is removed from the registry

Saint Peter greets with empty eyes then turns and locks the gate
I am the result, what's better left unspoken
Violence begins to mend, what was broken
You've been talking, I've been all ears

Omerta

Cheaply venal, stupidly verbose
A slip of the tongue, a slit of the throat
Six feet under with no marker
Keep my name from your mouth forever
Free speech for the living, dead men tell no tales
Your laughing finger, will never point again

Omerta
Omerta
Sing for me now
 
Chelsea Grin ~ Crystal Casket 🖤
Enslave the soul

Treacherous, do you dare to speak?
Speak too loud, you're silenced with ease
Rain your poison, rain it from above
Die like rats in forever sleep

Rain your poison, rain it from above
Die like rats in forever sleep

Swallowed by the swarm
The future's so pointless, death worldwide to us all
But know rivers run red before they cleanse
The flawed plan to enslave all men, enslave the soul

Enslave the soul
Death worldwide to us all
We'll watch it rise and fall
They say this is the end, they can't enslave the soul

Concentrate, align your spine
There's more to this, the stars align
The bigger plan was to enslave us all
We saw the beginning, rise and fall
And as the sky gives birth to ash
They say that this is the end
Enslave the soul

Enslave the soul
Death worldwide to us all
We'll watch it rise and fall
They say this is the end, they can't enslave the soul

Graveyard - Uncomfortably Numb

I wasn't there when you needed me
You never let me in your life
I didn't say what bothered me
You sure said more than that
The silence that followed didn't do us any good
And it seems like you settled for me
'Cause I was the best that you could get
But there wasn't enough
I know what you want
And you're not the one for me
I've been leaving you since the day we met
And it feels like you have too
I remember when I met you
The day I saw your smile
And now it's time to let go
Oh, it's time to feel alive
The problems I have with you
Are the ones you have with me
Even though we were holding love
We both know we drifted apart
I guess this is it, why bother when there's nothing left?
When neither you or me are here
Growing bitter and uncomfortably numb
Losing what we had
At least we tried but it wasn't meant to be
I've been leaving you since the day we met
And it feels like you have too
The reasons that I loved you
Oh, the ones that made me go
The reasons that I loved you
Oh, I've got to let you low
I should have seen it coming
Should have known what to expect
I should have seen the sign
Should have known that it was wrong
I've been leaving you since the day that we met
And it feels like you have too
The reasons that I loved you
Oh, the ones that made me go
The reasons that I loved you
Oh, I got to let you low
I am sorry that we got here
But I'm glad, glad that we are done
I don't wanna go back there
'Cause the love I felt is gone
'Cause the love I felt is gone
All right
 
So we've already established the fact
That things are gonna be different in the future, baby
And you've reiterated the fact
That you don't wanna get into somethin' that's just gonna have to end later
Now I know our lives are changin' and I seen it comin' for a while, too
Don't get me wrong
And I've been going outta town, baby, it's gonna happen more
We gotta be strong, but now
While I'm gone, just be a fly on the wall
You know I'm thinkin' about you
Just wait and see, you gotta hear what I say
"I'm in love with you, I'm not so far away"
Someday, someday, I will be here, baby
Someday, someday, I will be the one, baby
Someday, someday, I will be here, baby
Someday, someday, I will be the one, baby
I know you gotta go to university
And I'm just tryna make some cash to follow my dreams
But please don't say we're too busy
To give each other time and support we need
I know we gotta work our jobs
And make some money to get by in this expensive world
Don't let that overtake the fact that before all that, you're still my girl
While I'm gone, just be a fly on the wall
You know I'm talkin' about you
Just wait and see, you gotta hear what I say
"I'm in love with you, I'm not so far away"
Someday, someday, I will be here, baby
Someday, someday, I will be the one, baby
Someday, someday, I will be here, baby
Someday, someday, I will be the one, baby
Someday, someday, I know that you love me
Someday, someday, sorry that I'm leavin'
Someday, someday, I will be here, baby
Someday, someday, I will be the one, baby
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
I'm in love with you, I'm not so far away
Someday, someday, I will be here, baby
Someday, someday, I will be the one, baby
Someday, someday, I will be here, baby
Someday, someday, I will be the one, baby
Someday, someday, I know that you love me
Someday, someday, I just need you here with me
Don't have to try, love will take us there, baby
Someday, someday, I will be the one, baby
Someday, someday, look toward the sky, baby
Someday, someday, there's no need to cry, baby
I know that you're always what I want, baby, yeah
I will be the one, baby
Someday, hey
I will be the one, baby
Someday, hey
And I just need you here with me


Someday - Thirsty Merc
 
Cannonball - Damien Rice

There's still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
It's still a little hard to say what's going on

There's still a little bit of your ghost, your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
That I can't say what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to lie
Life, it taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

There's still a little bit of your song in my ear
There's still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon

Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to cry
So come on courage, teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall

And I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
 
Offspring ~ The Kids Aren't Alright

When we were young, the future was so bright
Woah-oh
The old neighborhood was so alive
Woah-oh
And every kid on the whole damn street
Woah-oh
Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
Woah-oh
The kids are grown up, but their lives are worn
Woah-oh
How can one little street swallow so many lives?

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for, used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams (go!)

Jamie had a chance, well, she really did
Woah-oh
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Woah-oh
Mark still lives at home 'cause he's got no job
Woah-oh
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay commited suicide
Woah-oh
Brandon OD'd and died
Woah-oh
What the hell is going on?
The cruelest dream, reality

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for, used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams (Go!)

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for (what), used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams
 
Life is weighing down on me, killing me inside
Something I could never be will guide me to the new light
Frustrated, sedated, I pray to myself
God, please
Don't take away from me
The only fucking thing
That I learned to believe
I am becoming the monster
You promised to keep him away
Now I feel like he's living in me
Anyway, I could never, ever be
What you think is right for me
Are things that I will not believe
I want to start a new life
Get myself a sharp knife
Look into my own life
Kill things I don't like in me
But sometimes I feel okay
And think I'm unique
You always try to critique
I turn my back on it anyway
Sucker! Punk-ass motherfucker!
I am loco
Te falta un poco
To get your ass in a choke-hold!
Just kill me, I can't breathe
I am guiding myself right to the end
Though it kills me, come to terms
With the sickness that makes me crash and burn
I'm crying I feel like I am dying, but I'm trying
I beg to myself, put my pride up on the shelf
Life is not forever
But if life will stay together
I would have a friend in my depression, have an end
But I've been thinking
And thinking always gets me into trouble
But since I have a double personality
It wasn't me! You see?
Now I'm a refugee
And everything inside of me
Is just a part of my disease!
Just kill me, I can't breathe
I am guiding myself right to the end
Though it kills me, come to terms
With the sickness that makes me crash and burn
Just kill me, I can't breathe
I am guiding myself right to the end
Though it kills me, come to terms
With the sickness that makes me crash and burn
 

Fractured Millennium Lyrics​

[Verse 1]
I came from second universe
I've travelled far
Oh, mankind, I'm not pleased
It's the way you're supposed to be?

[Pre-Chorus]
You're free from the guilt
Doesn't anyone care anymore?
Killing your own world, there's nothing to stop you
Can't you see what you're doing? It's gotta end
Or nothing will be left
[Chorus]
Dying planet!
Mother Nature bleeding, she will die
Burning planet!
Burning lives and torching wilderness

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
I'm screaming from inside
But there's no one around
Breaking thing by thing
Only you won't quit, no!
Ready to strike back
Ready for death
Armageddon is near
For your own satisfy
You gotta go on 'till you die

[Pre-Chorus]
"We'll rot 'till the end of money and power"
It's all you breed
Praying to God who don't exist
Can't you see what you're doing? It's gotta end
Or nothing will be left
[Chorus]
Dying planet!
Mother Nature bleeding, she will die
Burning planet!
Burning lives and torching wilderness
 
With karate I'll kick your ass!
From here to Tienanmen Square!
Oh yeah motherfucker, I'm gonna kick your fucking derriere, yeah yeah.
You broke the rules!
Now I'll pull out all of your pubic hair.
You motherfucker, you motherfucker.
Kyle betrayed me then he lied, tried to hide.
And I died deep inside, and you know the reason why.
I'm gonna kick your ass!
From here to right over there.
Oh yeah motherfucker, I'm gonna kick your fucking derriere, yeah, yeah.
You broke the rules!
Now I'll pull out all your pubic hair.
You motherfucker.
You motherfucker

Karate - Tenacious D
 
Oh, when I was a kid I grew up in a house on a hill
Not the top, not the bottom, but the middle
And I still remember where I cracked my head
In the vacant lot, there's a row of tiny houses there now
And we used to light fires in the gutters
And I could cool my head on the concrete steps
But the girl down the street hit my sister on the head
With a stick and we hid behind my father
As he knocked on the parents' door to tell them what she did
But the parents were drunk, so they really didn't give a shit
And the girl down the street said a dog couldn't bark
'Cause a man with an axe cut its voice box out
But my older sister told me that it probably wasn't true
And I believed what she said 'cause she took me by the hand
One time when a couple men drove down the hill in a white van
Said there was a phone box filled with money 'round the corner
And I would've gone along, but she took me by the hand to the house
In the middle of the hill, in the middle of the hill
In the middle of the hill
Now mother knew the words to a lot of different songs
And we'd always sing the harmonies (oh, we'd sing) when we'd sing along
She had cool, cool hands when the fever hit
And then the noises that the trains made sounded like people in my head
And the stories that the ceiling told
Through the pictures and the grains in the pine-wood boards
And I could stay outside 'til the sky went red
And I could cool my head on the concrete steps
And you could never really see the top from the bottom
I don't pay enough attention to the good things when I got 'em
And you could never really see the top from the bottom
I don't pay enough attention to the good things when I got 'em
 
Where Were You
Song by Citizen Soldier

This was so one-sided, 'cause when you needed me
I'd never hesitate, but that don't reciprocate
So don't you dare deny it, the trust that you betrayed
Words can't articulate the toll it took on me

I showed you all my demons when I was out of reasons
I'm nowhere close to healing

Where were you when I was at my worst?
Wouldn't put me first, that's the part that hurts
Where were you when I was scared to trust?
Still, I opened up, guess I'm just too much

It could have been, could have been life or death
I tried, but I'll never forget
Where were you?
Where were you?

When I was lost and fighting thoughts, screaming to end the pain
Where were you? Where were you?
When I was told you'd help me cope, you lied, you never came
Where were you? Where were you?

Where were you when I was at my worst?
Wouldn't put me first, that's the part that hurts
Where were you when I was scared to trust?
Still, I opened up, guess I'm just too much

It could have been, could have been life or death
I tried, but I'll never forget
Where were you?
Where were you?
 
A Symptom Of Being Human
Song by Shinedown

You've always been slightly awkward, kinda weird
Upside down and not all here
What's wrong with me and you is crystal clear

Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong
And the house is on fire and there's no alarm
And the walls are melting too
How 'bout you?
I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all
'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball
And my friends are coming too
How 'bout you?
Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human

Unpack all your baggage, hide it in the attic, where
You hope it disappears
This all seems so familiar, but it doesn't feel like home
It's just another unknown

You've always been slightly awkward, kinda weird
Upside down and not all here
Right or wrong, it's all so crystal clear
 
The Cure ~ Just like Heaven 🖤
Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream", she said
"The one that makes me laugh", she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you, I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
Kissed her face and kissed her head
Dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow
"Why are you so far away?", she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you?"
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must've been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You
Soft and lonely
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven
 
Don't, don't explain
Lots of little victories take on the pain
It takes so long to earn
You can double up or you can burn, you can burn
And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
And defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again
And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To blow up the pokies and drag them away
'Cause they're taking the food off your table
So they can say that the trains run on time
Flashing lights, it's a real show
And your wife? I wouldn't go home
The little bundles need care
And you can't be a father there, father there
And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
And defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again

From "Blow up the Pokies" - The Whitlams
