The Familiar - Faker

You see the pitter-patter
Of all the things unfathomed
If its not right dont matter
Give me familiar patterns
I'm on my bike this morning
Given an early warning
You need the time to focus
I want your hocus-pocus

Been chasing tiny angels
You're my deleted stranger
I put you in a cage, I
I wrote the book on danger
Fell off my bike this morning
I think I broke youre calling
I think it's time to wake up

And I cant wait, to see your face
It's been too long, since I've been in your space
And I've been tired, and I've been bored
And you'll be mine, and I'll be yours

I lost the open window
Look back at what I borrowed
Out of a foreign shadow
Fall off your bike tomorrow
If there's a day to know you
I'll be the earth below you
I want a drink of water

But I cant wait, to see your face
It's been too long, since I've been in your space
And I've been tired, and I've been bored
And you'll be mine, and I'll be yours

I cant wait
To see your face
It's been too long
Since Ive been in your space
And I've been tired
And Ive been bored
And you'll be mine, and Ill be yours

They try to push you under
The bitter beaten hunger
If just one man can plunder
I'm in a state of wonder
When are the terrors breaking?
Do you like rollerskating?

Tell me a happy ending
I need a happy ending..

You see the pitter-patter
Of all the things unfathomed
If its not right dont matter
Give me familiar patterns
I'm on my bike this morning
Given an early warning
You need the time to focus!

But I cant wait, to see your face
It's been too long, since I've been in your space
And I've been tired; I've been ignored
And you'll be mine, and I'll be yours..

And I cant wait
To see your face
It's been too long
Since Ive been in your space
And I've been tired
And I've been bored
And you'll be mine, and I'll be yours

And I can't wait
And I can't wait
And I can't wait
And I can't - wai - aah!

Argh. Me is probably gonna be penalized out of unoriginality. But DragonForce is teh shizz. :D



Lyrics:

Spoiler:

On a cold winter morning
In the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign
We ride towards the fight

When the darkness is falling down
And the times are tough all right
The sound of evil laughter
Falls around the world tonight

Fightin' hard, fightin' on for the steel
Through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell
Bodies wasted on the shores

On the blackest wings in hell's terrain
We watch the lands become
In fire and flame, now once again we know

So now we're flying, we're free
We're free before the thunderstorm
Hunt towards the wilderness
Our quest carries on

Far beyond the sun down,
far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They will raise their hands to the heavens above
With resentment in their eyes

Running back through the midmorning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from the time in the foreign land
To a light beyond the stars

In your blackest dreams see to the need
That destiny is tied
And endlessly we're roaming free tonight

And on the wings of a dream so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation, now the time has gone
Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

Oh, Oh, Uoh
Oh, Oh, Uoh
Oh, Ohaaa oh Uoh

Oh, Oh, Uoh
Oh, Oh, Uoh
Oh, Ohaaa oh Uoh
______________

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands.
We fought so hard, now can we understand?
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can,
For freedom of every man

So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

Ah, Pretending to be happy is but a sad distraction
I rush to give you my silent warning a gentle squeeze of your hand
As I glance at the path i've walked, i've endured, companionless
My face is overwhelmed with a familar aroma and the duest keeps piling up
I collapse outside of town, land softly
My legs are weary of their endless journey
And fleeting memories run through my head
I see the same profile, hear the same words over and over
Like the girl who asked me "isn't life so sad when all you do is live?"
You're still careless, young and helpless...
disappearing into a hollow void
Now having witnessed sadness you should never have seen
Crying tears that should have remained dry
We may not be tough enough to live on truth alone,but you know, we dont need to be


I actually gave up on it then just did basic effects.

Avril Lavigne-Innocence
Spoiler:
Waking up I see that everything is ok
The first time in my life and now it's so great!
Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect, please don't go away, I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by

I found a place so safe, not a single tear
The first time in my life and now it's so clear
Feel calm I belong, I'm so happy here
It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliant
, I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect, please don't go away, I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by

It's the state of bliss you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

It's the state of bliss you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

It's so beautiful it makes you want to cry

This innocence is brilliant, it makes you want to cry
This innocence is brilliant, please don't go away
'Cause I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by

This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect, please don't go away, I need you now
And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by

And apparently Graceful is still alive after a very long hiatus ♥

Can I Have This Dance
Zach Effron & Vanessa Hudgens
High School Musical 3: Senior Year

Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine,
And let the music be your guide.

Won’t you promise me (now won’t you promise me, that you’ll never forget)
We’ll keep dancing (to keep dancing) wherever we go next

It’s like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It’s one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

Take my hand, I’ll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don’t be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I’ll catch you through it all

And you can’t keep us apart (even a thousand miles, can’t keep us apart)
‘Cause my heart is (cause my heart is) wherever you are

It’s like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It’s one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

Oh no mountains too high enough, oceans too wide
‘Cause together or not, our dance won’t stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe, that we were meant to be

It’s like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you (like you)
It’s one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do (way we do)
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance

Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance

Entry is attached.

I chose Down In It by Nine Inch Nails.

I used about four textures from the DeviantArt resources texture, but most of the time spent on it was using default brushes in Photoshop. I didn't use any downloaded brush sets.

Spoiler:
Going down in it (2x)
Kinda like a cloud I was up way up in the sky
And I was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe
Sometimes I don't believe them myself
And I decided I was never coming down
Just then a tiny little dot
Caught my eye it was just about too small to see
But I watched it way too long
It was pulling me down

I was up above it (2x)
Now I'm down in it
I was up above it (2x)
Now I'm down in it

Shut up!
So what, what does it matter now?
I was swimming in the haze now I crawl on the ground
And everything I never liked about you is kinda seeping into me
Try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works out
"I guess the joke's on me," she said

I was up above it (2x)
Now I'm down in it
I was up above it (2x)
Now I'm down in it

I used to be so big and strong!
I used to know my right from wrong!
I used to never be afraid!
I used to be somebody!
I used to have something inside!
Now just this whole that's open wide!
I used to want it all!
I used to be somebody..

I'll cross my heart I'll hope to die
But the needle's already in my eye
And all the world's weight is on my back
And I don't even know why
What I used to think was me
Is just a fading memory
I looked him right in the eye and said "Goodbye"

I was up above it (2x)
Now I'm down in it (2x)
I was up above it (2x)
Now I'm down in it
I was up above it (2x)
Now I'm down in it
I was up above it

Rain rain go away come again some other day (4x)

I was up above it (2x)
Now I'm down in it ... nenene
I was up above it
Now I'm down in it

kinda like a cloud I was up way
up in the sky and I was feeling some feelings
you wouldn't believe sometimes
I don't believe them myself and I decided
I was never coming down. just then a tiny little dot
caught my eye it was just about
too small to see. but I watched it way too long
and that dot was pulling me down.

I was up above it.
I was up above it.
now i'm down in it
I was up above it.
I was up above it.
now i'm down in it

well shut up so what what does it matter now.
I was swimming in the haze now I crawl on the ground.
and everything I never liked about you is kind of seeping into me.
try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works out
("I guess the jokes on me." she said)

I used to be so big and strong.
I used to know my right from wrong.
I used to never be afraid.
I used to be somebody

I used to have something inside
now just this hole that's open wide.
I used to want it all
I used to be somebody

i'll cross my heart and hope to die
but the needle's already in my eye.
and all the world's weight is on my back
and I don't even know why.
and what I used to think was me is just a fading memory
I looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye."

Finding Out True Love Is Blind
By LOUIS XIV

Ah chocolate girl, you're looking like something I want
(finding out true love is blind)
Ah and your little Asian friend she can come if she wants
(finding out true love is blind)
I want all the self conscious girls who try to hide who they are with makeup
(finding out true love is blind)
You know it's the girl with a frown with the tight pants I really want to shake up
(finding out true love is blind)

Hey, carrot juice, I wanna squeeze you away until you bleed
(finding out true love is blind)
And your vanilla friend, well she looks like something I need
(finding out true love is blind)
I want miss little smart girl with your glasses and all your books
(finding out true love is blind)
And I want the stupid girl who gives me all those dirty looks
(finding out true love is blind)

Wind you up and make you crawl to me
Tie you up until you call to me
[x2]

Ah brown girl with those with the hot pants shaking that thing on the street
(finding out true love is blind)
Yeah and the short girls with the way they crawl knocks me off my feet
(finding out true love is blind)
And all the tough girls who never want me to see them cry
(finding out true love is blind)
And the girls who straight treat me like a dog until the day I die
(finding out true love is blind)

Ah chocolate girl, you're looking like something I want
Ah and your little Asian friend well she can come if she wants
I want all the self conscious girls who try to hide who they are with makeup

Loaded Gun - The Living End
With a loaded gun,
With a loaded gun,
In our hands.

We can end life.
We can decide,
The fate of a man.

(Yeah!)

Did you hear what happened,
to that poor man,
at the station tonight?
He was shot in cold blood,
waiting for the train,
While heading home to his wife.

And the police report said,
We have no choice left,
We did what we were forced to do.
He was sweating it out with a backpack on,
Who knows what he might've done.
We did the only thing that we know how to do

With a loaded gun,
With a loaded gun,
In our hands.

We can end life.
We can decide,
The fate of a man.

He was his mother's one and only son,
But to everybody else he was public enemy number one.

Well he fit the profile,
There'll be no trial,
There is nothing left to say.
So what if he's innocent,
He's still one of them,
And I won't lose any sleep tonight.

And the news report said,
The law protected,
But the young man never had a clue,
And the message to his mother read,
"Sorry but your son is dead,
This is our job and we were ordered to take his life."

With a loaded gun,
With a loaded gun,
In our hands.

We can end life.
We can decide,
The fate of a man.

He was his mother's one and only son,
But to everybody else he was public enemy number one.

With a loaded gun,
With a loaded gun,
In our hands.

We can end life.
We can decide,
The fate of a man.

With a loaded gun,
With a loaded gun,
In our hands.

We can end life.
We can decide,
The fate of a man.

He was his mother's one and only son,
But to everybody else he was public enemy number one.

^^; It's really simple, and I know ._. it has green... but I wanted to make something~ <3

Lyrics:
Spoiler:

Check yes Juliet
Are you with me?
Rain is falling down on the sidewalk
I won't go until you come outside.

Check yes Juliet
Kill the limbo
I'll keep tossing rocks at your window
There's no turning back for us tonight.

Lace up your shoes
Ay Oh Ay Ohhh
Here's how we do:

Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back.
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance.
Don't sell your heart.
Don't say we're not meant to be.
Run, baby, run.
Forever will be
You and me.

Check yes Juliet
I'll be waiting
Wishing, wanting
Yours for the taking.
Just sneak out
And don't tell a soul goodbye.

Check yes Juliet
Here's the countdown
3... 2... 1... now fall in my arms now
They can change the locks
Don't let them change your mind

Lace up your shoes
Ah Oh Ah Ohhh
Here's how we do

Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we are not meant to be
Run baby run
Forever we'll be
You and me

We're flying through the night
We're flying through the night


Way up high,
The view from here is getting better with
You by my side

Run baby run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we are not meant to be
Run baby run
Forever will be...

Run baby run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we are not meant to be
Run baby run
Forever will be
You and me
You and me
You and me

Cry - Mandy Moore
I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended too soon
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed

In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry


The moment that I saw you cry

It was late in september
And I've seen you before (and you were)
You were always the cold one
But i was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring at a dark gray sky
I was changed

In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

I wanted to hold you
i wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything, all right....
