1. Livin' Th' Dream by You, Me, and Everyone We Know

Yesterday I turned twenty-three
The date didn't mean that much to me
Then I started adding figures up in my head
It seems the cost of dreaming has left me in the red.

Because of alcohol I've shared sixteen beds
There's a five year reunion hangin' over my head
At least eleven-thousand people think I'm something I'm not
The courage to let them down isn't something I've still got.

Sometimes I wanna cheat but I don't
I wanna quit but I won't
'Cause I made this bed

Give me a shovel you'll be amazed
At how fast I dig a grave
Baby just, lay in it.

You're only brave 'til you're scared
You're only unique until compared
To every other worthless fuck trying to
Crawl into bed tonight.

You can't afford to live like this (Yes we can, yes we can)
You can't be dumb enough to dream so big (Yes we can, yes we can)
Yeah we'll sail through the sleazy seas
Past all the casting couches, rug burned knees
No I'm not done yet, you know I'm only getting started.

You can't afford to live like this
You can't be dumb enough to dream so big.
Yeah we'll sail through the sleazy seas
Past all the casting couches, rug burned knees
No I'm not done yet.

You can't afford to live like this (Yes we can, yes we can)
You can't be dumb enough to dream so big (Yes we can, yes we can)
Yeah we'll sail through the sleazy seas
Past all the casting couches, rug burned knees
No I'm not done yet, you know I'm only getting started.

2. Sleep, Everyone by Powerspace

With so little sleep
At least you'd think I'd find some peace in my dreams
In my dreams
But my mind still winds up on the same thing
The same scene
The same themes

Cause it's all stuck in my subconscious
Built up from every day
So I'm stuck with these nightmares
Where you're gone and so far away

And when I wake up
I realize that everything's still wrong
I'm still here and you're still gone
It's not fair
Cause either way I spin it
Separation seems so wrong
These breaks are far too long for me

Hours and hours
I'm stuck inside this place and this town
And you're gone
Far away, you're fighting for your life all alone
I want to wake up and go home

Cause it's all stuck in my subconscious
Built up from every day
So I'm stuck with these nightmares
Where you're gone and far away

Oh, this tortures me so much that
I get sick and I throw up
In my dream and here on my bed
It's messed up how it's all in my head
Yet it's affecting me oh so bad
I guess this distance just makes me sick

Cause when I wake up
It's 4 AM and I'm still all alone
Your message on my phone
Don't tell me that sleeping through the night
Is never this hard when you're home
Cause I already know

Wake me

3. Home Is A Heartache by Honor Bright

Last night I said too much but your still
Here so I'm doing something right.
So can I apologize?
I'll make this up to you somehow. {x2}

This time I, I made a mistake
I'm man enough to admit
I wrong this time. With loaded
Eyes baby you look beautiful tonight.
(Don't Gamble with my heart)

Have you heard anything about me?
You can see it in my eyes
Be better off alone
I'll get over this just
Give it time. You know I'll
Comeback to you, always
Comeback to you.

Been dying to tell you I've been
Yours since day one.{x2}

If distance makes the heart grow
Stronger. You'll never
lose me when I am gone.
(Lose me when i am gone){x2}

With loaded
Eyes baby you look beautiful tonight.
Have you heard anything about me?
You can see it in my eyes
Be better off alone
I'll get over this just
Give it time. You know I'll
Comeback to you, always
Comeback to you back to you.
(GO! )

I hate it when this home
Becomes a heartache.
I hate it when this home
(With loaded eyes)
Becomes a heartache.
(Baby you look beautiful tonight.)

I hate it when this home
(With loaded eyes)
Becomes a heartache.
(Baby you look beautiful
Tonight comeback to you){x2}
I hate it when this home
(With loaded eyes)
Becomes a heartache.
(Baby you look beautiful tonight.)

4. Medicated by National Product

I lie awake for days end
Black satin above
And nice blood red sheets
I've tried but to no success
Can I close my eyes
And get some rest

And he said
It'll be alright
If you just learn to close your eyes
It's not the taste you're gonna like
It's the feeling that you get
When you start to forget and you're

Medicated, I'm contemplating
Packing it up
And going somewhere else
They'll never call out
My name and
Somewhere far
Where I don't think they care much there

And I'd love to wake up with myself
Maybe that will creep me out enough
To see who the hell I really am

Sometimes I forget
And you can bet that I'm

Medicated, I'm contemplating
Packing it up
And going somewhere else
They'll never call out
My name and
Somewhere far
Where I don't think they care much there

And maybe this will help me
Get some rest
And maybe she will help me
Sleep a little better
And maybe he will help me
Think a little clearer now
And maybe this isn't what is best
Maybe this is what the doctor ordered
So I'll have another

Medicated, I'm contemplating
Packing it up
And going somewhere else
They'll never call out
My name and
Somewhere far
Where I don't think they care much there

Medicated, I'm contemplating
Packing it up
And going somewhere else
They'll never call out
My name and
Somewhere far
Where I don't think they care much there

Medicated
Where I don't think they care much there
Medicated
Where I don't think they care much there
Medicated
Medicated
Where I don't think they care much there
And I don't think they care much there

5. Rock, Shock and Load by Thee Armada

his is a story about some boys from Texas!
Who know how to get down
And you know we'll be the life of the party
So lets get this started now

The stories we would say when we were young
believing everything would be okay
Fighting off those whose who said we were wrong
we're gonna make it some day
And no matter where we go
you hear them singing
ROCK, SHOCK AND LOAD!

This is How we do it where we come from
Just get into it (HEY!)
Or move along

Iv'e got two barrels full with six shots each
Only the finest at my side
weather is hot as hades, like our southern ladies
where everythings bigger and everything lasts all night
we get down until the sun comes up!

ROCK,SHOCK AND LOAD!

This is How we do it where we come from
Just get into it (HEY!)
Or move along
Just move along
oh move along
Just move along
move along

6. Parker by Automatic Loveletter

I was your fire once
you thought of me as your one true love
i got so mad
said things that later I would regret and regret and regret
holding onto my chest and pounding till it turns purple
a breaking bow and the sound of a scream muffled by pillows
so dont so long
and dont farewell
hear me out now i've just begun to say

Parker
do you remember
how i carried your heart
and i carried it far
and i know
that theres no one to blame
its a sure given shame of my own
that you dont..
remember

sworn off blue lips
kiss them warm
with love comes deep dark red
and paper cuts
from letters i re-write explaining how to fall in love
well pictures inspire and songs never tire
and there's always clouds to float upon
saving me best for last
down for keeps up for grabs
we'll play stop and go
but it feels just like freeze tag
so ill see you right
applaud and encore
ill be braver just you wait here till i say

Parker
do you remember
how i carried your heart
and i carried it far
and i know
that theres no one to blame
its a sure shame of my own

im naked once so dont think twice
hold on
its hard enough to bite my shy
hold on
hold on
hold tight

Parker
do you remember
how i carried your heart
and i carried it far
Parker
do you remember
how i carried your heart
and i carried it far
and i know
that theres no one to blame
its a sure given shame of my own
of my own
of my own
its a sure shame of my own
that you dont that you wont remember

7. A Certain Kind Of Touch by Breathe Electric

We've gotta get out of this place, she said
and fallow our hearts to content, she said
i want it all, but there's nothing you can do to stop me
and oh my god, they said in wonderment
oh my god, the way you look tonight
and this could be the way for us to change
this could be, this could be
the way for us to change

i can feel my breath growing faster
i think this could be the right time

let's call out all our fears right now
and open hearts with clear content
we know, it's all about the way it comes out
of your mouth and mind
and oh my god, i think it's happening
oh my god, the way you look tonight
and this could be the way for us to change

i need you more now, than ever
this could be the right time to change

9. Where Were You? by Every Avenue
Home for the weekend,
Looking for a good time;
Of all the numbers you end up calling mine.
Ready or not , I think I’ll give this a shot.
I should know better than to
Give her what she wants.
I picked her up and she was three-forths gone.
She passed out before we even got to talk.
All I want to know is:

Where were you when I needed you most?
Why did you leave me alone?
We gave up before we gave it a chance,
And I don’t understand.

Back to where we left off, baby.
“How you been and what’s been new with you lately?”
Just forget it, it’s the same old runaround.
You build me up just to let me down.
Down!

Where were you when I needed you most?
Why did you leave me alone?
We gave up before we gave it a chance,
And I don’t understand.

Just forget it, it’s the same old runaround,
Just forget it, just forget it.
