Before Tomorrow Comes

Nothing comes from indifference.  Find your conviction and embrace the hero.  Before tomorrow comes you can change everything!

Alter Bridge - Before Tomorrow Comes


I couldn't sleep I had to listen
To a conscience knowing so well
That nothing comes from indifference
I look inside of myself

Will I find some kind of conviction?
Will I bid the hero farewell?
Will I be defined by things that could have been?
I guess time will only tell
I guess time will only tell

[Chorus:]
So don't let it be
Before tomorrow comes
Before you turn away
Take the hand in need
Before tomorrow comes
You could change everything

I curse my worth and every comfort
That blinded me for way too long
Damn it all I'll make a difference from now on
Cause I'm wide awake to it all
Cause I'm wide awake to it all

[Chorus]

Does anyone care it ain't right what we're doing?
Does anyone care it ain't right where we're going?
Does anyone dare justify how we're living?
Does anyone here care at all?

[Chorus]

We could be so much more than we are
We could be so much more than we are
We could be so much more than we are
Oh this much I know

No Such Thing

When good is lacking evil fills the void.  To lose or to save your soul is a choice of how you fill the hole.

Chris Cornell - No Such Thing


I saw the world, it was beautiful
But the rain got in and ruined it all
Then I tried to be invisible
It was impossible even for me

I laughed at love, it was a big mistake
In the absence of, I filled it with hate

'Cause there's no such thing as nothing
Yeah, there's no such thing as nothing at all

I had the brains not to think at all
But the rain got in and I thought too hard
On the world and as usual
I slumped too far into the void

I tried to make everything meaningless
But the rain got in and made it a mess

'Cause there's no such thing as nothing
Yeah, there's no such thing as nothing at all
Yeah, there's no such thing as nothing
But my finger's on the trigger and I'll turn off the world

So what gives me the right
To think that I could throw away a life, even mine?
And what makes you believe
That you could get away with getting old, overlapping me?

Maybe to lose or to save your soul
Is a choice of how you fill the hole

The rain got in

'Cause there's no such thing as nothing
Yeah, there's no such thing as nothing at all
There's no such thing as nothing
But my finger's on the trigger and I'll turn off the world

Light My Way

Unwilling to listen to your answers...I'm not afraid to tell you I need you today.
 

Audioslave - Light My Way


In my hour of need
On the sea of gray
On my knees I pray to you
Help me find the bones of the dying dead

Won't you light my way?
Won't you light my way?
Won't you light my way?
Won't you light my way?

The bullet is a man
From time to time he strays
I compare my life to theirs
To this I remain

And unwilling to listen
To your answers
And I'm not afraid
To tell you I need you today

Won't you light my way?
Won't you light my way?
Won't you light my way?
Won't you light my way?

And so when I'm lost
And I'm tired and depressed
And when my mind goes astray
Won't you light my way?

Don't save it for another day
Don't save it for another day

Hey! Don't save it for another day
Hey! Don't save it for another day
Hey! Don't save it for another day
Hey! Don't save it for another day

Won't you light my way?
Won't you light my way?
Won't you light my way?
Won't you light my way?

Outshined

Show me the power of a childlike faith.   

Soundgarden - Outshined


I got up feeling so down
I got off being sold out
I've kept the movie rolling
But the story's getting old now

I just looked in the mirror
Things aren't looking so good
I'm looking California
And feeling Minnesota

(So now you know)
who gets mystified

Show me the power child
I'd like to say that I'm down on my knees today
It gives me the butterflies, gives me away
Till I'm up on my feet again

I'm feeling outshined

Someone let the dogs out
They'll show you where the truth is
The grass is always greener
Where the dogs are shedding

I'm feeling that I'm sober
Even though I'm drinking
I can't get any lower
Still I feel I'm sinking

(So now you know)
who gets mystified

Show me the power child
I'd like to say that I'm down on my knees today
It gives me the butterflies, gives me away
Till I'm up on my feet again

I'm feeling outshined

Buried Alive

One can become buried alive under the weight of his poor choices that lead to vice.  Attempts at becoming comfortably numb do not set him free - but only seem to compound the problem.  Like the free bird, he must eventually come to terms with reality and reach out for salvation from the one who can set him free at last.

Alter Bridge - Buried Alive


I twist and turn
In the darkest space
Can't find my worth
As I numb the pain

Glass to the sky
With a blacktooth grin
This whiskey smile
Takes me down again

I'm cold and I'm so afraid
That I'm too weak and I can't change

[Chorus:]
I've been buried alive and
I don't want to be here anymore

Reached out a thousand times for
A hand to pull me from below

I've been buried alive in a world
Of constant sorrow

Reach down tonight and set me free...
Save tomorrow

Another shot
Slip into the haze
Another night
Soaked in my disgrace

Toast to the lie
I'll raise my glass and run
A wasted life
What have I become?

[Chorus]

Save tomorrow
Save tomorrow

Let me breathe again
And show me where I begin
To find the will to change
Before I lose everything
Before I lose everything

[Chorus]

Reach down tonight and set me free
And I will follow
