Lyric tattoos...that's something I've rarely seen done well.

Hence why I haven't done it already.

I currently have 2 tattoos that are absolutely beautiful. I'm not screwing that up.

If I can find a way for it to be done well, I'll consider actually having it done.
 
Cutting out the drama in my life, starting with some of the people on this board. :rolleyes:

Dark Tranquillity - Lost To Apathy

The unsaid tone of weak despair
fail to resonate
frayed ends of our binding
threads will disintegrate

By laws our physiques state
failure to communicate
none too sentient hear no,
see no works its magic against all function
ongoing choices the trials will end
filter the nonsense and laugh at what's left
indecision / nonvision
what matters taken away

Look at the shell that is you
Empty, fragile, weak
Soon the battle is over
Lost to apathy

So overcome with pointless tears
to test pain receptors
nothing matters ever here
put up a nonreaction
these eyes will never see
covered up from reality

The unknown world that you deny
no priority
cannot fail if you never start
how predictable
i want to know where did it end
for madness to start
always the skeptic and never be part
introvertive/nondescriptive
it matters not
not
 
Shady Grove- Among the Oak and Ash

Shady grove, my little love,
shady grove I know.
Shady grove my little love,
I'm bound for the shady grove.

I wish I had a piece of thread as fine as I could sew,
I'd sew much love to my side,
and down the road I'd go.

Shady grove, my little love,
shady grove I know.
Shady grove my little love,
I'm bound for the shady grove.

Cheeks as red as a blooming rose,
eyes of the deepest pearl.
You are the true love in my life,
stay until the sun goes down.

Shady grove, my little love,
shady grove I say.
Oh, shady grove my little love,
don't wait for the judgement day.

Wish I had a banjo string made of golden twine.
Every tune that I would play,
"I wish that girl was mine."

Shady grove, my little love,
shady grove I know.
Shady grove my little love.
I'm bound for the shady grove.

And if I had a watch of gold on a silver chain,
I'd count the hours to the day I'd see my love again.

Shady grove, my little love
shady grove I know.
Shady grove my little love,
I'm bound for the shady grove.

Shady grove, my little love,
shady grove I say.
Oh, shady grove my little love,
dont wait for the judgement day.​
 
Heard this today for the first time in ages and remembered how much I love this song even if some might think it melancholy...

Distant Dreamer ~ Duffy

Although you think I cope,
My head is filled with hope...
Of some place other than here.

Although you think I smile,
Inside all the while...
I'm wondering about my destiny.

I'm thinking about,
all the things,
I'd like to do in my life.

I'm a dreamer,
A distant dreamer,
Dreaming for hope, from today.

Even when you see me frown,
My heart won't let me down,
Because I know there's better things to come (Woah Yeah).

And when life gets tough,
I feel I've had enough,
I hold on to a distant star,

I'm thinking about,
All the things,
I'd like to do in my life...

I'm a dreamer,
A distant dreamer,
Dreaming for hope from today.

I'm a dreamer,
A distant dreamer,
Dreaming for hope from today.

Yeah, I'm a dreamer

Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...

I'm a dreamer,
A distant dreamer,
Dreaming for hope from today,

Yeah I'm a dreamer...

Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...

I'm a dreamer.​
 
Still on a Shinedown kick. I think it might be permanent...

Her Name is Alice

("If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense")
("Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't")

I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time
And every creature lends themselves to change your state of mind
And the girl that chased the rabbit, drank the wine, and took the pill
Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels

To stand outside your virtue
No one can ever hurt you
Or so they say

Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she knows

Sometimes the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain
And every ounce of innocence is left inside her brain
And through the looking glass we see she's painfully returned
But now off with her head I fear is everyone's concern

You see there's no real ending
It's only the beginning
Come out and play

Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming
She's unlocked the meaning for you

This kingdom,
Good riddance,
Good freedom
And innocence
Has brought this whole thing down

Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into to the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming
She's unlocked the meaning

("Red nights, white knights, marching into the fight")
("Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me")
("Red nights, white knights, marching into the fight")
("Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me")

She's unlocked the meaning for you

("And contrariwise, what it is it wouldn't be")
("And what it wouldn't be it would")
("You see?")
 
The Agonist - Revenge of the Dadaists

Sont-ils prisonniers? (French: Are they locked in?)
Devrais-je les libérer? (French: Should I release them?)

This seclusion frightens me

What happened to youthful armies,
Manicured gardens,
Proud role models?

Now I sit
Dependent zombie
Longing for the physical

One can't destroy energy
One can only transfer it
What if I never acknowledged reality
Could I avoid it?

Broken tree roots curling up as if to grow towards the sky
Inverting gravity and plummeting angels to hell

Grabbing air pockets to free yourself
You trip on extra limbs
And crumble in

The dirt feels cold and soft
Seems so foreign yet so welcoming
You hear the Earth breathe and for a moment, laying there
Get an internal perspective
Molecule mix and flesh confuses with elements

You aren't sure about getting up
Perhaps the trees were right and merging with the Earth is
The way to live for centuries
Coffins float upside down like cumulus

Knock and see who's inside!
You wonder how the doors don't swing open
Are they locked in?
Should i release them?

You leave footsteps of fire
So no one can follow your tracks
I should be trudging ahead but I just keep looking back

You never told me that I would get so badly burnt
I always freeze upon contact now
So the flames don't hurt

Does controlling pain make it void
If energy is transferred, not destroyed?

I invite them to all join
Forcing confusion through ballpoint

Did you forget the intentional dreaming and patriotic cut-outs?
I still feel the strangulation throttling me out

This is still not the way you want to end
The leaves swing down to tuck you in
This is where you won't wake up again
I hope you will - I'm just not convinced

You feel the mantle pulse

The fissures throb
The nucleus bellows
You see those around you
Who felt it all along

Black eyes and superior senses
Curious noses seem
They seem apathetic

Should they really care?
They know they knew what we refuse to understand
Prevention only goes so far
Make way for the newborn

There's only so much carbon in the work
Take a number

You've had your time
Get in line
You must be this good to ride

You leave footsteps of fire
So no one can follow your tracks
I should be trudging ahead but I just keep looking back

You never warned me that I would get so badly burnt
I always freeze upon contact now
So the flames don't hurt
 
Negative Vibes - Damien Dempsey

Lord, Won't you give me the strength to be strong, and be true
Cos, Lord, when the devil gets into my head, I'm so blue

You knock me, if you're so mighty, why waste your time with me
If I'm bad, ignorant and sad
Why waste your time, you're mad
You're just mad, because your life is sad
You've done nothing worth while
Twist the knife
Because you hate your life
My life you want to spoil

I'm never going to let
Your negative vibes and comments
Get through to my psyche and cripple me
I'm never going to let
Your negative vibes and comments
Get through to my psyche and cripple me
I never will forget
The suffering that my people went through
In my country and overseas

Were no use, verbal abuse
That's all you have to give
You preach nil, you're so cynical
Jesus, wake up and live
Your bad vibe will drive away your tribe
And where will you be then
All alone
Heart as cold as stone
Hurting yourself again​
 
A song that resonates with me

Kelly Clarkson: Stronger

You know the bed feels warmer,
Sleeping here alone,
You know I dream in color,
And do the things I want.

You think you got the best of me
Think you had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone.

Think you left me broken down
Think that i'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, Myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

You hear that I was starting over with someone new,
They told you I was moving on over you,
You didn't think that I'd come back ,i'd come back swinging
You try to break me but you see

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
stand a little taller
doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
doesn't mean I'm over cause your gone.

what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill yo u makes you stronger
Stand a little taller Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not my broken hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking bout me

You know in the end the day I left was just my beginning in the end...

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little talker
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
doesn't mean I'm over cause you gone.

What doesnt kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, Myself and I
What doesnt kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Dosnt mean I'm lonely when Im alone​
 
The Agonist - Panaphobia

Keep out the intruders! Put the drawbridge up!
The enemy ransacked what we had just rebuilt!
Now the garden lies in serene symmetry
And severe color theory.

Roots slowly poisoning
Through strategic seeds planted inside. We’re much safer self-preserved.
Let the Dead Sea rise.
No, the watch dogs aren’t robots.
They can’t defend against their lures.
Doors that weld shut behind you and books that fly like birds.

Crushed by backpacks filled with ammo, luggage carts distracted the defense.
And the troops sneak in undetected, charades begin, start the pretense.
Obsessive thought in royal chambers invites Trojan warriors in.
Little exceptions seem so harmless, little victories, little wins.

And now why has the plan failed? We sit here aimless once again.
With all units deployed fully, how is it we let him in?
All the corporals agreed: zero-tolerance enforced.
But as cold as doorknobs were I somehow still opened the doors.

Each battle lost is a mile gained on the terminal timeline.
We all fear the last few inches but they’re so far out, we’re blind.
Each battle lost...

A dysfunctional team, we are, no one following the rules.
Yes I’ll do my best to protect you but your disobedience intrudes.
Skeletons escape the flesh like ants through tightly clenched fists.
This time impeach the tyrant!

What a contradictory statement – suicidal self-preservationist.
Although logic understands, prison chambers still exist.
Chambers East and West conspiring, neighbors North and South unite.
With the four working against me I’m powerless and losing sight!

Each battle lost is a mile gained on the terminal timeline.
We all fear the last few inches but they’re so far out, we’re blind.
Each battle lost...

This is a forced entry. This is algometry.
This is panophobic.
Immunity gets sick.
This is a forced entry. This is algometry.
This is panophobic.
Taken down, brick by brick.
This is a forced entry. This is algometry.
This is panophobic.
This is the last conflict.

Each battle lost...
 
The Vincent Black Shadow - Dream

Blew the dust off a wooden box
And set it on the piano
Nasty words came from its mouth
The bite marks were to follow
I should have given it away
Now I never dream
Wide awake for much too long
My eyes glued to the table
Tried to feign authority
But sadly wasn’t able
And then it threw me to the floor
I never dream
They say I’m late by half a century
He died in 1943
I can’t just leave
(He smells it when I’m gone)
So I just take it in my sleep
The road is going…
Me: “Ask for her another day”
The spade’s up your sleeve
There’s sweat on your brow
And I will be damned
If I let you back into this town
December 17th, 1955 - Broken
Seven hours passed on your floor
Seven hours isn’t that long
Seven hours isn’t...
 
As I Lay Dying - Moving Forward

We're born helpless but guided by humanity
What was compassion
Soon controls the way we think
Familiarity has left me desensitized
And inanity keeps deception disguised
We are lost but keep moving forward
To find the truth we must turn around
History reveals an inviting sense of compromise
Our customs destroyed what was once unique
Traditions started with useful intention
Now subjugate those too numb to question
We are lost but keep moving forward
To find the truth we must turn around
I desire to wake from this sedation and begin to separate
The truth from tradition
We are lost but keep moving forward
To find the truth we must turn around
 
Lionel Richie:All Night Long (All Night)

Well, my friends the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on (play on, play on)

Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElW_RKjSHKs&feature=related

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes through the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?

All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you Heaven?
Will you ever win?

She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless

All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you Heaven?
Will you ever win? Will you ever win?

Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon

She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
She was alive like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?

All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you Heaven?
Will you ever win? Will you ever win?

Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon

Taken by, taken by the sky
Taken by, taken by the sky
Taken by, taken by the sky

Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
 
Lucky Strike - Maroon 5

I forget who it was on Lit that mentioned that Maroon 5's newest album was actually really good. But I finally got around to listening to it. And I concur.

You’re such a motivator, got to get your way
So sick of saying yes sir, yes sir
You’re such an instigator; you wanna play the game
Take it or leave it, that’s her, that’s her
And I can't wait another minute
I can't take the look she's giving

Your body rockin’, keep me up all night
One in a million, my lucky strike

Got me so high and then she dropped me
But she got me, she got me, she got me (yeah)
Took me inside and then she rocked me
She keep me up all night, this is what it sounds like
Whooooa, oh oh oh
My lucky strike
Whooooa, oh oh oh
My lucky strike
Whooooa, oh oh oh

Your body rockin, keep me up all night
Whooooa
One in a million, my lucky strike

Stuck in her elevator
She takes me to the sky
And I don't wanna go down, go down
She said I’ll feel you later; go ahead and fantasize
She makes me want it right now, right now
And I can't wait another minute
I can't take the look she's giving

Your body rockin’, keep me up all night
One in a million, my lucky strike.

Got me so high and then she dropped me
But she got me, she got me, she got me (yeah)
Took me inside and then she rocked me
She keep me up all night, this is what it sounds like
Whooooa, oh oh oh
My lucky strike
Whooooa, oh oh oh
My lucky strike
Whooooa, oh oh oh
Your body rockin, keep me up all night
Whooooa
One in a million, my lucky strike

Hey, you’re takin’ all my pain away
You’re shakin’ like an earthquake
Hey, you’re takin’ all my pain away
You’re shakin’ like an earthquake

Got me so high and then she dropped me
But she got me, she got me, she got me (yeah)
Took me inside and then she rocked me
She keep me up all night, this is what it sounds like
Whooooa, oh oh oh
My lucky strike
Whooooa, oh oh oh
My lucky strike
Whooooa, oh oh oh

Your body rockin, keep me up all night
Whooooa
One in a million, my lucky strike
My lucky strike
Whooooa, oh oh oh

My lucky strike
Whooooa, oh oh oh
Your body rockin, keep me up all night
Whooooa, oh oh oh
One in a Million
 
(I'm still a little in love with GLaDOS)
Still Alive
This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Aperture Science:
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
except for the ones who are dead

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying 'till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/portal/still_alive.html ]
I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
And torn it pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
So I'm glad I got burned
Think of all the things we learned
For the people that are still alive

Go ahead and leave me
I think I prefer to stay inside
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you
Maybe Black Mesa
That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
Anyway this cake is great, it's so delicious and moist

Look at me still talking, when there's science to do
When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you
I've experiments to run, there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive
While you are dying I'll be still alive
And when you're dead I'll be still alive
STILL ALIVE
still alive
