Some stuff my group and i have been practicing with. At least all i have to do is memorize the lyrics and timing, i don't have to be bothered with carrying around an instrument.

What It Is To Burn
Here I am beside myself again.
I'm torn apart by words that you have said.
And all in all,
I know we're falling apart.
Where did you run to so far away?
Here we are to sing you a song.
There you are asleep against the window pane
just like always.
You said you like to hear the rain sometimes.
And all I can do is tell you the truth.
And oh, my eyes will tell you the same.
Here we are to sing you a song.
There you are asleep again.
Grasp our hands together,
we feel we are one result.
And here we are to sing you a song.
And there you are asleep again...
Comments - This one starts out pretty slow but steadily builds up momentum until it lets it all out past the halfway mark. The lyrics aren't much but the sheer power of the chords are enough to carry them.
My Reply - The Ataris
So Long, Astoria
I got your letter and the poetry you sent me
Postmarked in december of last year
I really hope you're doing better
All of your friends close by your side
One step closer to recovery
I wish there was something i could say
To erase each and every page that you've been through
Even though its not my place to save you
I appreciate but can't accept this thank-you note
Thats sealed with your last breath
I won't stand aside and listen to you give up
If you'll just hold on for one more second
Just hold on to what you have
If you'll just hold on, just hold on
You will wake up tommorrow
These arms remain stretched out to you
Maybe someday you'll accept them
Or maybe its too late to save a young girls heart that's long stopped beating
Wake up, wake up you've gotta believe
Wake up, wake up you cant give up
Time keeps going on without us
Long after we're dead and gone
I wish there was something i could say
To erase each and every page
You've been through
Even though its not my place to save you
I appreciate but can't accept this thank-you note
Thats sealed with your last breath
I won't stand aside and listen to you give up
If you'll just hold on for one more second
Just hold on to what you have
If you'll just hold on, just hold on
You will wake up tommorrow
Comments - The intro chords to this one are reminiscent of typical anime songs. Pretty catchy and all that.

it's been so long, and tin cans and string for years
is all that we've known, could it be you're really here
'cause my eyes are open, and everything still moves in slow-motion,
breathless and blue, and behind your eyes the sea
oceans of light envelop me
but things can't be as they seem, I'm so far from home
this must be another dream, but my eyes are open
Comments -An easy-going song but very rich melody-wise.
My Heroine - Silverstein
Discovering The Waterfront
The drugs begin to peak
A smile of joy arrives in me
But sedation changes to panic and nausea
And breath starts to shorten
And heartbeats pound softer
You won't try to save me!
You just want to hurt me and leave me desperate!
You taught my heart, a sense I never knew I had.
I can't forget, the times that I was
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it?
You're my heroine!
You won't leave me alone!
Chisel my heart out of stone, I give in everytime.
You taught my heart, a sense I never knew I had
I can't forget, the times that I was
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it?
You're my heroine!
I bet you laugh, at the thought of me thinking for myself. (myself)
I bet you believe, that I'm better off with you than someone else.
Your face arrives again, all hope I had becomes surreal.
But under your covers more torture than pleasure
And just past your lips there's more anger than laughter
Not now or forever will I ever change you
I know that to go on, I'll break you, my habit!
You taught my heart, a sense I never knew I had.
I can't forget, the times when I was
Lost and depressed form the awful truth
How do you do it?
You're my heroine!
I will save myself!
Comments - This is pretty easy, as i've got our axeman to handle the growls and the second voice. I don't have to strain my pipes too hard.
Five against the world - Story of the Year
In The Wake Of Determination
I never thought i'd see the day
That we honestly could say
We stand five against the world
And the doors are open
Through all those years
I would've died to be right here
I never thought of backing down
With one chance to make a sound
So we'll take our chance right now
These are the days we will remember
(These are the days we will remember)
And these are the days we won't forget
(These are the days we won't forget)
These are the times we've shared
These are the promises we've made
These are the days
Revolution dead and gone
Still integrity holds strong
We stand five against the odds
And rise through it all
Relentless form and dedication carried on
We stand tall and won't back down
With one chance to make a sound
So we'll take our chance right now
These are the days we will remember
(These are the days we will remember)
And these are the days we won't forget
(These are the days we won't forget)
These are the times we've shared
These are the promises we've made
These are the days
That we won't forget
Yeah we carry on convictions
Learning as we go
Living out the only life we know
These are the days we will remember
(These are the days we will remember)
And these are the days we won't forget
(These are the days we won't forget)
These are the times we've shared
These are the promises we've made
These are the days
WE WON'T FORGET
WE WON'T FORGET
WE WON'T FORGET
Comment - I only have difficulty on the last three lines as they have to be screamed out. At least the lines within the parentheses can be handled by the rest of the band, thus helping out the chorus with a little extra oomph.

dressed up to the eyes
it's a wonderful surprise
to see your shoes and your spirits rise
throwing out your frown
and just smiling at the sound
and as sleek as a shriek
spinning round and round
always take a big bite
it's such a gorgeous sight
to see you in the middle of the night
you can never get enough
enough of this stuff
it's friday
i'm in love
Comment - We haven't actually tried this one out yet 'cause we still haven't finished altering the lines into a more punk-ish beat. I just love how New Wave songs can be easily converted into something harder.
