 Message  ever listen to the lyrics of a song and think wow thats an awsome poem? or that the way the song is sang down plays the true depth of the words, turned it into a bunch of screaming or bubble gum music that will never get the recognition it deserves? what songs/ bands do you think make better poets then singers?

i think godsmack, i have listened to them for a few years and liked the music, the beat and tune, but i didnt know what all the words were till i looked it up. the words are awsome, when you know what they are.

FORGIVE ME
(Godsmack)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There’s nothing to me now. An empty shell unfolded.
How, when we learn to pray inside our demons are laughing
How long will this go on? Are we a bit much stronger?
Do you think you can save me from living this way?
I don’t know how to love. I just know how to live.
All I feel is hate. Will you forgive me?

(Do I? Do I? Do I?

For all those things I’ve done, they keep on creeping by me.
And though we’ve changed our ways,
still all our demons are laughing.
How long will this go on? Aren’t we a bit much stronger?
I’d like to think you’ve came into my life to stay.

I don’t know how to love. I just know how to live.
All I feel is hate. Will you forgive me?
I don’t know how to breathe with you too far away.
Don’t know how to love. Will you forgive me?

(Do I? Do I? Do I?)

No I can’t live this way!
I don’t know how to love. I just know how to live.
All I feel is pain. Will you forgive me?
I don’t know how to breathe with you too far away.
I don’t know how to love.

Past lives I’ve lived. Uncontrolled but sacred.
You’ve finally seen all that’s left of me.
So hard to feel. So hard to breathe.
Will you forgive me?
Will you forgive ME?

WHISPERS (Forgive me. Forgive me. Forgive me. Forgive me.)

I linger in the doorway
of alarm clock screaming
monsters calling my name
let me stay
where the wind will whisper to me
where the raindrops as they’re falling tell the story

In my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

don’t say I’m out of touch
with this ramoant chaos...your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
the nightmare I built my own world to escape

In my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
cannot cease for the for the fear of silent nights
oh how I logn for the deep sleep dreaming
the goddess of imaginary light

in my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

Well, they were selfish with helmets on the little bus
Til break fluid sewage crippled up the get retarded nickle punks
Slowly cope, but swore his lowly robot foley folk
Would one day rise in sections to interrogate the Holy Ghost
Holy smokes, father, black suit, white collar
Kiddy porn dungeon, guns, and 3 fingers for your daughter
Is caught belly up, antique Nazi paraphernalia
You can not pay your bills with holy water and hail mary luck
Shucks, fucker, enjoy the Alcatraz shower fun
Mommy’s mad I’m cliche generation X agnostic front
It aint the nifty faith of 1958
Before the new, new testament approved alter boy fisting rape
And take me to your leader, as long as he don’t manipulate toddler beaver
Call me crazy, but I bet that wasn’t God’s demeanor
Sodometer peaking, But long island was Jesus every weekend
Spoon fed to appease, traditional upbringing
Of a middle Pennsylvania shit hole where elder’s movement stressed a stellar therapeutic bible cycle.
One church wiht a bait and tackle store next door, and not much more
So the two moved to New York, made babies raised on what they saw
Christmas morning smelled fresher than angel pussy, but Immaculate conception came second to playful goodies
Like Laser tag, was way more spiritual than blood and body wafer bags, and manger staff’s as long as Santa ate the cookies
Grandma was a saint, while he’d paint with snakes and bullies
Said "If only you’d memorize your prayers like you did you Kool G’s"
See, by the time I was old enough to know what religion was
I was catholicism numb, and truly didn’t give a FUCK
In 94, moved out the crib, and aint seen a steeple since
While Knievel evil seeps in the Christian leaders pitch
’Til priests laps are slapped with parental advisory warnings
I’ll be auditioning gods in my office, on Monday morning

Uh-oh, and yet another pill slip
Down the hatch, it patch him through the kill switch
I need a A’s for Q’s
I’m not an asshole, I’m just a little confused

Just a little bruised in the back of the pews
Acting amused with a mask on them Vatican blues
For in the organization I was raised in
Aes is just another sinning brick in hell’s basement
Cubicle adjacent to the killers and rapists, for what?
Drugs and fucking is a part of growing up
Like cuffs over dumb shit, is better than the schools
I’m not an asshole I’m just a little confused
Just a lit fuse in the back of the pews
Watching a thousand flavors of the same God fued
I figure ultimate piece is the common theme
So it’s a no brainer piece, when the blood hit’s the screen
I’ve got a basic good and evil sensibility born
Good neighbor know a halo won’t fit over horns
I’m more science than faith, more karma than bread and booze
I’m not an asshole, I’m just a little confused.

Maybe I..m insane
walking on a wire
maybe I..m the same
Nothing can take me higher
tell me where to start
think I’m at the end
Right now, feeling pain
make it go away

Maybe I’m to blame
maybe I’m a Liar
maybe we’re the same
nothing can stop the fire
I can’t feel my heart
but I feel the shame
Nothing left to say
soon I’ll fade away

These places all I ever
think about is lost in time
these faces taunting me I’m looking back
and they are mine

I’m hiding from the things they say
Doing time, then lead astray
Thinking back to times of yesterday
I could die

I’m trying to find a better way
but I’m trapped, can’t get away
All I think is about yesterday
I could die

Maybe I..m insane
walking on a wire
maybe I..m the same
Nothing can take me higher
I can’t feel my heart
but I feel the shame
Nothing left to say
soon I’ll fade away

These places all I ever
think about is lost in time
these faces taunting me I’m looking back
and they are mine

I’m hiding from the things they say
Doing time, then lead astray
Thinking back to times of yesterday
I could die

I’m trying to find a better way
but I’m trapped, can’t get away
All I think is about yesterday
I could fly.

 Message  oh, if i could do it just once more, there’s nothing i’ve ever missed more

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the light hits you,
As you shift along the floor,
I find it hard to place my face.
How did I come to be here, anyway?
It’s terribly vague, what’s gone before.*

I could have been anyone.
You could have been anyone’s dream.
Why did you have to choose our moment?
Why did you have to make me feel that?
Why did you make it so unreal?

Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.

Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.

All the colours look brighter now.
Everything they say seems to sound new.
Slipping into tomorrow too quick,
Yesterday always too good to forget.
Stop the swing of the pendulum! Let us through!**

Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.

~ Kate Bush - oh to be in love
