"Only God Knows Why"
by Kid Rock
I've Been sittin' here
tryin' to find myself
I get behind myself
I need to rewind myself
Lookin' for the payback
Listenin' for the playback
They say that every man
bleeds just like me
And I feel like number one
Yet I'm last in line
I watch my youngest son
and it helps to pass the time
I take too many pills
that helps to ease the pain
I made a couple dollar bills
but still I feel the same
Everybody knows my name
They say it way out loud
A lot of folks fuck with me
it's hard to hang out in a crowd
I guess that's the price you pay
to be some big shot like I am
Out stretched hands and one night stands
still I can't find love
And when the walls come tumbling down
I will always be around
And when the walls come tumbling down
I will always be around
People don't know 'bout the things I say
and do
They don't know 'bout all the shit
that I've been through
It's been so long since I've
been home
I have been gone, I've been gone
for way to long
Maybe I've forgotten all the
things I miss
Oh somehow I know there's more
to life than this
I've said it too many times
And I still stand firm
You get what you put in
And people get what they deserve
Still I ain't seen mine
no I ain't seen mine
I've been giving just ain't been getting
Been walking that there line
So I think I'll keep walking
with my head held high
Keep moving on and only God
knows why
only God
only God
only God knows why...
"Large in the Margin"
by 311
Large in the margin my drama unfolds behind
closed doors
Told on the down low I believe that I'm sold
but really I don't know
Maybe it's better but I can't think so
Maybe it's better to fight
One never ever knows
Believe the rumors that grow like tumors
It's more fun that the truth that we know
Trying too hard to reach a higher plain
Will fuck you up
When you least expect it
You think you're moving closer when suddenly
you wrecked it
But all the same the pain gains wisdom
As if you ain't had enough then you're in
some
Prison of your own creation mental dilation
Look at what you're facing placing blame in
every direction
There's no way to avoid listening
You'll always end up listening
Here's hoping the voices aren't too unkind
Here's hoping the voices are benign
It's easier when you feel it
There's no reason to fear it
It's you
You
You think they'll probably find you
Well then, you're probably right
Cuz they'll come back to remind you
for eternity
Of when you gave up the fight
Somehow they always will find you
The voices in the night, every night
Keep coming back to remind you for eternity
Of when you gave up the fight
There's no way to avoid listening
You'll always end up listening
Here's hoping the voices aren't too unkind
Here's hoping the voices are benign
It's easier when you feel it
There's no reason to fear it
It's you
You
"Evolution"
by 311
My computer is future shockin'
Download this and you'll start talkin'
upgraded you're now walkin'
compatible with all that is rockin'
comin' on fast it's gettin' digital
it's so huge like a spiritual
rippling out to every individual
this is life it is a miracle
Evolution has exponential timing it'll be
Half as long til the next breakthrough that
blows our mind
It's up to the people to brave on with
Experimentation
Move forth the species by using our
imaginaton
But can we handle it
Could we dismantle it
Or should we fear the void and just be
para-paranoid
If it's understood it could be used for good
and would
If you will believe in all we can conceive
On the periodic table they got it all wrong
Let me lay it down for you in this song
People want PT
They want AU
Lemme tell you what you really ought to do
Figure out ways to master silicon
Fiber optic connections
Whatever's beyond
So many people don't even attempt to understand
The limitless possibilities of man
Evolution has exponential timing it'll be
Half as long til the next breakthrough that
blows our mind
It's up to the people to brave on with
Experimentation
Move forth the species by using our
imagination
But can we handle it
Could we dismantle it
Or should we fear the void and just be
para-paranoid
If it's understood it could be used for good
and would
If you will believe in all we can conceive
I feel trapped I gotta adapt
Remain calm collected
Before I get zapped
My computer is a rebel acting all finc
And just like that payin' me no mind
What's up is it's program overcome by a glitch
Is it becoming conscious and if so ain't that a bitch
I paid too much for this piece I'll be damned
if it tries
Any funny business it'll be the on that pays
the price
Evolution has exponential timing it'll be
Half as long til the next breakthrough that
blows our mind
It's up to the people to brave on with
Experimentation
Move forth the species by using our
imagination
But could we handle it
Should we dismantle it
Or should we fear the void and just be
para-paranoid
If it's understood it could be used for good and would
If you believe in all we can conceive
Yes we can handle it
We could dismantle it
We should not fear the void and just be
para-paranoid
If it's understood it could be used for good and would
If you will believe in all we can conceive
Excess Baggage
by
Staind
Well I know the words, but I can't really speak them
To you
And I hide all the pain that I've gained with my wisdom
From you
And I'm eaten alive by what I hold inside
All the things that I live with I can't easily hide
And I'm left here with nothing, nothing to live for
But you
It’s not easy to hide
All this damage inside
I'll carry you with me
Until I'm not alive
When you look at my face, does it seem just as ugly?
To you?
I can't seem to erase all the scars I have lived with
From you
I'm so sick of this place
This taste in my mouth
Cause of you I can't figure what I'm all about
And I'm left here with nothing, nothing to live for
But you
It’s not easy to hide
All this damage inside
I'll carry you with me
‘Til I'm not alive
Epiphany
by
Staind
Your words to me just a whisper
Your faces so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear
'Cause it's always raining in my head
So I speak to you in riddles because
My words get in my way. I smoke the
whole thing to my head and feel it
Wash away 'Cause I can't take anymore
Of this, I want to come apart,
or dig myself a little hole inside
your precious heart
'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said
I am nothing more than a little boy inside
That cries out for attention,
though I always try to hide
And I talk to you like children,
but I don't know
I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed
But it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said
It's Been Awhile
by
Staind
It's been awhile
Since I could, hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you
But everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means
It's been awhile
Since I could say, that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I could say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you
But everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered,
I've gone and fucked things up again.
Why must I feel this way
Just make this go away,
Just one more peaceful day
It's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candle lights your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
But everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be
I know it's me I cannot blame this on my father
he did the best he could for me
It's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile since I said
I'm sorry
Leave

It's amazing
How you make your face just like a wall
How you take your heart and turn it off
How I turn my head and lose it all
It's unnerving
How just one move puts me by myself
There you go just trusting someone else
Now I know I put us both through hell
I'm not saying
There wasn't nothing wrong
I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
I'm not saying
We ever had the right to hold on
I just didn't wanna let it get away from me
But if that's how it's gonna leave
Straight out from underneath
Then we'll see who's sorry now
If that's how it's gonna stand, when
You know you've been depending on
The one you're leaving now
The one you're leaving out
It's aggravating
How you threw me on
And you tore me out
How your good intentions turn to doubt
The way you needed time to sort it out
Tell me is that how it's going to end
When you know you've been depending on
The one you're leaving now
And the one you're leaving out
