Rebirthing [Video]
Skillet

Genre: Rock
Velocity: Medium [03:53]



I lie here paralytic inside this soul
Screaming for you till my throat is numb
I wanna break out
I need a way out
I don't believe that it's gotta be this way
The worst is the waiting
In this room I'm suffocating

Pre-Chorus
Feel your presence filling up my lungs with oxygen
I take you in
I've died

Chorus
Rebirthing now
I wanna live for love, wanna live for you and me
Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
Rebirthing now
I wanna live my live, wanna give you everything
Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
Right now
Right now

I lie here lifeless in this cocoon
Shedding my skin cause I'm ready to
I wanna break out
I found a way out
I don't believe that it's gotta be this way
The worst is the waiting
In this room I'm suffocating

Pre-Chorus
Feel your presence filling up my lungs with oxygen
I take you in
I've died

Chorus
Rebirthing now
I wanna live for love, wanna live for you and me
Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
Rebirthing now
I wanna live my live, wanna give you everything
Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
(I come alive somehow)

Bridge
Tell me when I'm gonna live again
Tell me when I'm gonna breathe you in
Tell me when I'm gonna feel inside
Tell me when I'm gonna feel alive
Tell me when I'm gonna live again
Tell me when this fear will end
Tell me when I'm gonna feel inside
Tell me when I'll feel alive

Chorus
Rebirthing now
I wanna live for love, wanna live for you and me
Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
Rebirthing now
I wanna live my live, wanna give you everything
Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
(I come alive somehow)
Right now (I come alive somehow)
Right now (I come alive somehow)

Going In Blind [Video]
P.O.D.

Genre: Rock
Velocity: Slow [04:28]



This life's not like you wanted it
His eyes, I can see again, I need you here
In your mind nobody's listening
It's your right not to feel again, just breathe again

[Chorus 1]:
Time after time, I walk the fine line
Something keeps bringing me back
Time after time, I'm going in blind
I don't know which way I need to go

Feels like your world is caving in
And I cry, failing to understand, I wish I can
It's alright if you're missing him
In his eyes you can live again, free within

(Chorus 1)

[Chorus 2]:
Time after time, I walk the fine line
Something keeps bringing me back
Time after time, I can't see the signs
I don't know which way I need to go

Do all these roads lead back to you?
I don't know which way I need to go
One day, some day...

Annihilate The Corrupt
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metal
Velocity: Fast [04:11]




Behind the eyes of my compassion lies a suffering soul
And in my blood a bitter darkness slowly taking it's toll
I feel the death of our connection and the fading of light
Between the shards of sudden panic from choking on my life.

I see the scars of your addiction and the feeling you hide
A blackened heart from all the hatred you will never rewind
Within the depths of your depression hear you pleading for help
Your just a shell of vacant ruin, a portrait of myself.

I can't breathe alone
You can guide me home.

CHORUS:
I am the face of your affliction
Feeding new life through the cracks in your skull.

Beneath the skin of your aggression is a thickening fear
A swelling plague from every devastating voice that you hear
You feel the throes of contradiction in the world that you left
Another day in your delusion, the never-ending death.

I can't breathe alone
You can guide me home
I can feel you here
You can draw me near

CHORUS:
I am the face of your affliction
Feeding new life through the cracks in your skull.
I am the pain of your conviction
Stabbing you right through the back of your soul.

This is life, this is love

CHORUS:
I am the face of your affliction
Stabbing you right through the back of your soul.
I am the face of your affliction
Feeding new life through the cracks in your skull.
I am the pain of your conviction
Stabbing you right through the back of your soul.

I can feel you here
You can draw me near.

Fully Alive [Video]
Flyleaf

Genre: Rock
Velocity: Medium [02:50]



Telling layla's story spoken
About how all her bones are broken
hammers fall on all the peices
two months in the cover creases

Fully alive, more than most
ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
How to believe in futures

All my complaints shrink to nothing
I'm ashamed of all my somethings
She's glad for one day of comfort
Only because she has suffered

Fully alive, more than most
ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
How to believe in futures

Breathe Into Me
RED

Genre: Rock/Metal
Velocity: Standard [03:34]



And this is how it feels when I
Ignore the words you spoke to me
And this is where I lose myself
When I keep running away from you

And this is who I am when,
When I don't know myself anymore
And this is what I choose when
It's all left up to me

Breathe your life into me
I can feel you, I’m falling
Falling faster
Breathe your life into me
I still need you
I’m falling, falling
Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe

And this is how it looks when
I am standing on the edge
And this is how I break apart
When I finally hit the ground

And this is how it hurts when I
Pretend I don't feel any pain
And this is how I disappear
When I throw myself away

Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe into me

Meant To Live [Video]
Switchfoot

Genre: Rock
Velocity: Standard [03:25]



Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments,
And failed attempts to fly, fly

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

Dismantle.Repair. [Listen]
Anberlin

Genre: Rock
Velocity: Medium [04:18]



One last glance in a taxi cab
Images scar my mind
Four weeks felt like years
Since your full attention was all mine
The night was young and so were we
Talked about life, God, death, and your family
Did not want any promises,
Just my undivided honesty, and you said

Oh, things are going to change now for the better
Oh, things are going to change

I am the patron saint of lost causes
A fraction of who I once believed (change)
It's only a matter of time
Opinions I would try and rewrite
If life had background music playing your song
I have got to be honest, I tried to escape you
But the orchestra plays on, and they sang

Oh, things are going to change now for the better
And oh, things are going to change

[Chorus 2x]
Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
Dismantle me down (repair)
You dismantle me
You dismantle me

Give me time to prove
Prove I want the rest of yours (prelude)
Call this a prelude to a lifetime of you
It's not that I hang on every word
I hang myself on what you repeat
It's not that I keep hanging on
I'm never letting go

[Chorus 2x]
Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
Dismantle me down (repair)
You dismantle me
You dismantle me

Save me from myself
Save me from myself
Help me save me from myself
Save me from myself

Oh, things are going to change now for the better
And oh, things are going to change

[Chorus 3x]
Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through
Dismantle me down (repair)
You dismantle me
You dismantle me

#9: Your Owls Are Hooting - Showbread

#9

Your Owls Are Hooting
Showbread

Genre: Rock



This letter won’t make it to you in time
Introverted by your distance from me, and by mine
But the chameleons who sift through the trees
Are garnering a bouquet in my head’s faculties
And its filled with scales and perfumes wearing thin
There is no flaw in you, there is no sun on your skin
Where have you been all of my life?
I hear a lizard tongue above my head
Will you be my wife?

Skin and bones and things that make my heart beat
My possession my obsession, everything to me
The sound of your voice and all your fingertips
Is like a bible verse spilling right across your lips

Waiting for my bride no longer taking it’s toll
Like a great horned owl swallowing fruit bats whole
Now that you’re here I feel a presence that I didn’t before
I feel your love I feel the warmth I’m feeling so much more
No more stiff joints, no more skin dry and rigid
You’re like a funnel in my heart
No longer artic and frigid
I’m indebted to you, you are my only one
Straight from the breath of the almighty Father, Spirit and Son

Dizmas

Genre: Rock
Velocity: Melodically regular [3:21]



Outside of all your subtlety
Upside down while you're straight with me
And I deny that this is your way
Can I, can I still find my way?

Please let this one stay
To help me find your way (your way)
Please let this one stay
To help me find your way (your way)
As I'm drowning,
Engulfing the saltwater air
She begs me to find you,
I acknowledge you there

Cure my cancer with your answer

Genre: Rock
Velocity: Upbeat [4:04]



Good God, where does it end?
You have been waiting in line
To have a phone chord or a cable fed right down your throat
Don’t struggle or it will bend and be a waste of time
To drain the depth of you from somewhere there
You’ll only choke
What seems to be the problem? We can’t dig up anything
Only dust and spit, and some pictures of you
You’re choking on the wires and still trying to sing
It seems that no one could ever love you
As much as you do

Hey misses hopeless, the world will catch up
With your intrepidness, I hope you know this
There’s no one like you, it’s so oppressive
You can even spell your own name, how impressive

I want what I see, I want something shiny
I want the one who stand in front of the biggest crowds
If we are to be, there will be more eyes on me
There will be more for everyone to talk about
It all leads to me, independent and free
It all comes back to who will say what I want them to say
Not complicated, keep it simply stated
There’s only so much that I can understand
Before it’s all wasting away

But don’t forget I can have what I want
And I want to be everything and everywhere

Say I’m smart, say my skirt is so short
Say I’m different, say I’m one of a kind
If I’m on TV maybe you will love me
There’s not another reason I can find
And if you only reject, there’s still these tubes in my neck
There’s still cigarettes and four letter words
And I’m sure that you’ll pick such a plain jane
To think the world goes on without me just seems so absurd

Hyper Static Union

Genre: Rock
Velocity: Medium-Slow [04:13]



I was afraid to let You in
Would I break Your heart again?
So many times before
I could not keep my promises
But You were dying to forgive
You gave Your life for me to live
And now I know it’s time to find out
Who I am in Your eyes, in Your eyes

Come in my heart, come in my home
Come in, You’re welcome at Your throne
Come in and take control
I know that I need You to rule my life

(Chorus:)
Free me from within
I am ready for my new life to begin
Take me from this place
Oh Lord I seek Your face, I seek Your face

I’ve been a fool I’ve been wrong
I’ve been alone for too long
I’ve been thinking that it’s time I apologize
You’ve given life, You’ve given love
You’ve given all I can think of
You’ve given me the time to find out
Who I am in Your eyes

(Chorus)

I’m falling in again
I don’t remember when life was any better
I just need to be held, I’m feeling overwhelmed
Cuz life is so much better
This life is so much better

Free me from within
I am ready for my new life to begin
Take me from this place
Oh Lord I seek Your face
I seek Your face

Less Than Nothing
Demon Hunter

Genre: Metal
Velocity: Medium [02:59]



I suffocate.
Reality is tearing my life away.
All in vain.
I'm taking my pride into the grave.

What a fine line we walk with our eyes closed.
Giving our worst as first like we don't know.
Burning my way through life with a vengeance
Giving my weight in hate until the neck bends
Tearing out every trace of emotion
Falling into this cell that you've opened
Hollow as all these faces around me
Feeling your fatal infection surround me.

CHORUS:
We all live in fear of something.
We all disappear like nothing.
We all live in fear of something.
We all equal less than nothing.

I suffocate.
I'm taking my life from first to last.
All this hate is dragging my face through broken glass.
How can we be so blind in the same light?
Covering all these scars that we can't hide.
Feeling my way through thorns of rejection.
Bleeding out all this filth of infection.

(CHORUS)

Nothing.
Nothing.
We're nothing.
Nothing.

The Wait Is Over
Disciple

Genre: Rock
Velocity: Medium [02:50]



I can feel it in the thunder rolling, lightning crashing
It's our time, the wait is over
Fire's burning, floods are rising
It's our time, the wait is over

Sitting in ashes, we’re broken,
with our faces downward,
Like there's nothing we are looking forward to

We've been waiting so long
For this moment all of our lives
Let it pour out

I can feel it in the thunder rolling, lightning crashing
It's our time, the wait is over
Fire's burning, floods are rising
It's our time, the wait is over

Hoping and praying in silence,
That the blessings of the former
isn't the end of what we look forward to

We've been waiting so long
For this moment all of our lives
Let it pour out
