Strait Up: Lyrics
Starlit Eyes
(Lyrics: Serj of System of a Down)

Pushing the law again
Pushing the law again

Justice with a sword
Our smiling knight on board
Opening his heart to everyone
And loving without a doubt
Embracing friends and
Embarrassing foes,
And those who are unjust.
A man true to his heart
without fear or misgivings
With "insecurity" tattooed across his body
The first to accept, the last to disappoint
He understood all and expected nothing

Now you are free
Free to roam the skies
Now and then visit me
With your starlit eyes

You took all our hearts
With your smile,
And left a legacy untold
You conquered life and fear,
So you see there was no room for you to grow old
Take it back
(
Lyrics: Jonathan of KoRn and Nathan Cox)

It's so fucked I am here doing this
It's bullshit, things don't end like this

I'm calling
Staring into this place
Where I cease to exist
Wondering, why do things always end up like this

Fly
Take to the sky another dream of empty
Lies
Of promises denied by a forgiving
God
Who eats his young you're nothing you fucking
Fraud
My belief was betrayed I lost my faith in you
Try
To understand the sorrow and the
Why
Of a light that should still be burning
Bright
The angel in flight with a dog by his
Side
When you took him away I lost my faith in even you!!

As I feel emptiness growing in my heart
I can't help but scream into hating you
I bet you think it's funny
You give us a gift and then you take it back
I Know Where You're At
(Lyrics: M.C.U.D. of (HED) P.E.

I gotta get through this shit (strait up)
Mama told me that there would be days like this (strait up)
You know it's easy to forget what my purpose is
(strait up)
Just when I feel like everything's cool
My drama starts to surface (strait up)
And all that drama it's hard to not let it blind you
You gotta put that fake shit behind you
Don't let your enemies remind of that time you fucked up
My boy would've told you to shut the fuck up
(strait up)
I see fools laughing and i wanna cry
I see fools living it up and I wanna die
Shit I feel like I got one foot in the grave already
I feel like jesus is out to get me
Test me, and watch me fail
But I know it's not too late for me
He told me there's more out there than just hate for me
I see you on a painted road and I miss you
I see can't see you but I feel you, I feel your soul, you know this
No matter what I know you still have my back
Yeah, I know where you're at

I love everything, I lost everything
I want everything, I lose everything
I hate everything...(strait up)
Yeah, I know where you're at

I can't find you, I can't see you, I can't find you
Why? back up shut up disappear
What? shut up wake up I'm over here what?

Yeah I woke up and I and cursed the day (strait up)
I woke up and I prayed for this pain in my chest to go away
Jesus he just laughed at me and said my life was a tragedy
And I was lost for all eternity
Say nigga' why you forsaken me?
Maybe you're breaking my heart (strait up)
If I could go back and start over again
And have one good friend
Shit I'd take that shit to the top (strait up)
And never stop (strait up)
Bring that shit back again yeah damn
Just one good friend
I've over here come back now and show me how
I don't care anymore
I can't, I can't take it, close to the edge
And I'm breaking down
Yeah you see me breaking down

Everyday another liar, here comes another thief
Prepare yourself for much more sorrow
Depend on much more grief

Wake up, get up, walk away! Why, Why!!

Catch A Spirit
(Lyrics: Max of Soulfly)

Catch a spirit

Spirit
Fly high
Soul rise
Rise above it

Catch a spirit, can you hear me

Spirit
You guide me
You lift me
Be with me

Spirit fly free
Fly free
With me
Rise above it

Catch a spirit, can you hear me?

Feel the pain feel the pain
Of a friend gone away
I feel your presence when I play
But I'm gonna lift myself up
I'm gonna get my head up
And when you see me from the clouds
Be proud...

Spirit I miss you
I feel you rise above it

Catch a spirit, please can you hear me
Until Next Time
(Lyrics: Jason of R.K.L)

As I sit here all alone and wonder why now once again
All the others weren't enough you had to take another friend
Now once again too soon I search for words that just aren't there
I give to you my feelings in a song and with a tear
Somehow close yet still so far
I hold you deep in my heart
I hope and pray these words you'll hear
That you're at peace and free from fear
The question asked full in my rage how could you make this end
Just seems so wrong that in his prime you'd go and take my friend
If goodness comes from tragedy then let this be the case
So only thoughts of joy are thought each time we see your face

Why did you go I have to know
I hope it's not in vain
Cause there has to be a reason
Or some goodness in my pain
Passion churning senses blurred
All the things you taught we learned
Some things in life we'll never know
Like how much time we've left to go

Never fair or justified
Sad alone I sat and cried
Of all the questions we must ask
Not when, where, who, but why so fast?
Now looking back I see the day our eyes they first did meet
An alligator shirt some jeans and docks upon his feet
With outstretched arms we said hello his face a welcome grin
You wanna go and spark a bowl nice to meet you my name's Lynn
A battle forces on but it just don't seem the same
Cause I'm gonna win this battle and I'll do it in your name
I say goodbye to you my friend I bid a fond farewell
At least you're up in heaven now not stuck here in this hell

On with the show we have to go
My thoughts they have been spoken
You touched our lives gave others hope and now our hearts are broken
Of all that come and all that go there's few that have the spark
The truth the joy the energy to truly touch our hearts
Of whom I speak I sing these words and give the final hymn
I say it loud with love and pride and shout
I LOVE YOU LYNN!!!

Then someone looked up to the sky look there's Lynn he said
And off you flew Dobbs by your side I knew then you weren't dead
You just changed shapes free as a bird to soar the sky's above
And so we turned and waved goodbye as sadness turned to love



Divided (An Argument For The Soul)
(Lyrics: Brandon of Incubus)

I have a wish
I want to learn
I want to see
And I want to affirm...
That what I see in reflection day to day isn't all I am
Say what you see when you close your eyes and glide
The only shell who can circumvent the tide
Shares of himself and tells us what he knows, a piece of him will stay...
When the rest of him...
...goes

For now you are divided

I have a wish
I want to learn
I want to see
And I want to affirm
That what is here; broken record everyday...
Isn't all there is
Say what you see when you close your eyes and glide
The only shell to circumvent the tide
Shares of himself and tells us what he knows
A piece of him will stay...the piece of him that stays....helps me grow

The piece of you - That makes you you - That piece stays.
That piece of you - Makes you you. Don't be afraid
You're only divided

Angel's Son
(Lyrics: Lajon and Clint of Sevendust)

Life is changing
I can't go on without you
Rearranging, I will be strong
I'll stand by you

You were fighting, everyday
So hard to hide the pain
I know you never said goodbye
I have so much left to say

One last song given to an angel's son
As soon as you were gone

I have a new life now
She lives through you, what can I do
I feel so alone now
I'll pray for you, we still love you

One last song given to an angel's son
As soon as you were gone

Forever
(
Lyrics: Fred of Limp Bizkit)

You don't know what you got until it's gone
And you don't know what you lost until it's gone
Until someone you know goes away and dies
They're gone forever...

Every second you're alive is a countdown
My life, your life, his life, their life, it's so temporary.



Funeral Flights
(Lyrics: Dez of Coal Chamber)

Fever takes to the mind unkind
Seasons watching the souls unwind
Many friends left far behind
Souls left lonesome

Dark the essence of life's core
Like light in the forever more
No one's left to deserve it more
And I'm left borrowed...

Between nights and funeral flights
We are one the Father and the Son

I was there for the eulogy
Seems a part was just stripped from me
Everyone's eyes were so far away
You were with us on that day
Feared in life
Revered in death!!!



Requiem
(Lyrics: Corey of Slipknot, Mikey Doling, and John Fahnestock)

We were ready for anything

Everyone knows some pain
I see the loss every time someone says your name
When you know someone who shines hard
A soul of the age who doesn't care who the fuck you are
You had a friend, a brother who was everything
But he had to go away....that was yesterday
I've lost a lot of people in my time
The good, the bad, the unreal, and the ones who shine
So I know you all understand when I say that until they left
We were ready for anything...but this

You are not gone
We keep you here inside us
You are not gone -
We know you're still beside us
You are not gone -
We have this light you gave to us

Now it's time to, lay to rest our friend
And through these songs
His memory will never fucking end
We will see that
Through this loss we'll shed some light on you
Until the day you left us

We were ready for anything...but this

Why'd you have to go? We never had a chance
I can't believe it so I won't admit it
Life ain't shit without you in it

Everybody says the light that shines the brightest burns out fast
But what they never say is all the light they gives us lasts
We hold the memories and cherish everyday we had
But we would give it up in a second just to have you
Back!!

Reaching Out
(Lyrics: Mark of Sugar Ray)

I want to be
Something better than before
You showed me what
We should all be fighting for
Can you tell me
Why I always see your face?
You are kind of like
A supernatural kind of place

Reaching out, reaching out
You are the one
Consciousness you're killing me
I understand the clarity

Now I can see
How you touched so many lives
You're on your way
To another space in time

I can feel you
Every time I see your face
You are kind of like a
Supernatural kind of place

Your light shines for us to see
A part of you lives on in me
We are the same
Follow through reality
It's coming down... forget about
Typical just what it seems
Another day inside the dream

So here it comes consuming me


Absent
(Performed by Snot)

Well now it seems more than silence has been broken
And I think I've figured out the dying lie
Yes the truth is that your dialect is half truth
Another conversation died alone

This is something we created
Yes, well the sufferment's abated
It doesn't have to be a prophecy
We could be both seeking destiny

It's fucking down to us and them
You can decide which one wins
Now's the time, are you the hunter or the hunted?

Absent - Sometimes it feels like it's us against them
Absent, sometimes it feels like their angers are justified
If it feels like I'm absent... from your conversation
Just keep on talking and you'll find out... You're probably right

Now it seems that there are no easy answers
To the same old question I've imposed
What does it mean? Why would you bother asking me?
Like it's something I should know

Just 'cuz they paid me to take it
I guess their money gave me credence
Watch our records soar
As you slow down to buy the accident - SO SICK!!

Know that I'll pull your covers, bitch
Yes I'm fixin' to knock that ego down
Well I might slap you punk ass to the floor
Stupid motherfucker, nothin' but a buster
Still talkin' shit!

Devoid of soul, so ya dig yourself a hole
Take the fun out, I load the gun for you
Incorrect, cause and effect, you've been sold
Live in the wrong, so ya live in the lies
Take the fun, load the gun, incorrect, cause and effect

I'm absent

I don't care
Yes you're probably right

I don't care
