Lucky are the leaves of the clover
She's diggin' for chemistry with the butcher's tools
Shifty are the eyes of the gambler
He's making his tricks his trade and a job well done

Emotions waving wishes to your confidence and eloquence

He's turning a-green from these envious glorious things
Applied ambitious faith that can keep us all safe
Invoking a blue that's meant for us, too
What small, amazing things we will turn to rain

Lucky is a deer in the headlights
Those two are as thick as thieves, not a penny more
Shaky are the hands of the gun shy
He'd rather give up the ghost than take mine (take five)

Emotions waving wishes to your confidence and eloquence

He's turning a-green from these envious glorious things
Applied ambitious faith that can keep us all safe
Invoking a blue that's meant for us, too
What small, amazing things we will turn to rain

Gather 'round, hold your glasses up high
Drink to love while we wait for high tide
Keep it short, keep it brief; you have my word
Gather 'round while we wait for high tide

He's turning a-green from these envious glorious things
Applied ambitious faith that can keep us all safe
Response recedes like fur; we're all a mess as though we owe him a favor


And one more:



If you're keeping score then you're bound to win,
A birds eye view of a burning bridge,
You've gone through ghost towns set on pause,
Hoping the risk was worth the cause,

Oh, sound off the false alarm,

But I'll make my own colleagues from wood and from ivory,
And reap the rewards of proximity,
I'll assemble my equal from what I lack and require,
And gather what's left unaccompanied,

It smells like disaster,
It looks like a trap,
So go by the wayside,
And never look back,

If you could spare me forty winks,
While you cry wolf and I count sheep,
What good are ghosts in Kevlar vests,
With backbones like a jellyfish,

Oh, stomp on your land again,

But I'll make my own colleague from wood and from ivory,
And reap the rewards of proximity,
I'll assemble my equal from what I lack and require,
And gather what's left unaccompanied,

It smells like disaster,
It looks like a trap,
So go by the wayside,
And never look back,

If you're keeping score then you're bound to win,
A ring side seat at the main event,
Oh, stomp on your land again,

It smells like disaster,
It looks like a trap,
So go by the wayside,
And never look back.

I've fell in love with Seafarer's Knot *.*

Well, all the chars I interact with have their own soundtrack in my head... seems sometimes I remember some situations in terms of the music my head attaches to them, but today I'd probably pick those two, talking in general terms.



I'm home again, I won the war, and now I am behind
your door. I tried so hard to obey the law, see the
meaning of it all. Remember me? Before the war.
I'm the man who lived next door. Long ago...

As you can see, when you look at me, I'm pieces of
what I used to be. It's easier if you don't see me
standing on my own two feet. I'm taller when I sit
here still, you ask are all my dreams fulfilled.
They made me a heart of steal, the kind them bullets
cannot see Nothing's what it seems to be, I'm a replica, I'm a replica Empty shell inside of me I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...

The light is green, my slate is clean, new life to fill
the hole in me. I had no name, last December, Christmas
Eve I can't remember. I was in a constant pain, I saw
your shadow in a rain. I painted all your pigeons red,
I wish I had stayed home instead. Nothing's what it seems to be, I'm a replica, I'm a replica Empty shell inside of me I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...

Are you gonna leave me now, when it is all over
Are you gonna leave me, is my world now over...

Raising from the place I've been, and trying to keep
my home base clean. Now I'm here and won't go back believe.

I fall asleep and dream a dream, I'm floating in a
silent dream. No-one placing blame on me
But nothing's what it seems to be, yeah. Nothing's what it seems to be, I'm a replica, I'm a replica Empty shell inside of me I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...

OSI - Go
"I can still feel my hopes twitch,
Crushed by the force of chromosomes,
It's a trail map to a bear trap
Separating poor, torn camouflage.
In a house, in the mountains
There's a way to fall asleep
And I know when I find it
I will let you go."
Damn you, Kevin.... You just got to write such dark songs. :cry:

Chroma Key - Even The Waves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhQgucbX ... ata_player
me & judas lost at sea
under electric twilight fading
i look at him he sees through me
40 days and we're still waiting

i'm not tired but i think i'll lay back anyway
i'm not welcome but i think i'll stay

me & jonas lost at sea
deep inside a dream we're trailing
heard him whisper wait for me
sun goes down and we're still sailing

i'm not nervous but i think i'll lay back anyway
i'm not helpless but i think i'll stay
and even the waves won't carry me away

keep heading west that's the best
may be lost but i'm not crazy
stay where you are not too far
keep it up you're doing fine
well i thought i was fine

me & joseph lost at sea
under rain and slowly waking
he looks around and smiles at me
41 and we're still waiting

i'm not tired but i think i'll lay back anyway
i'm not hopeless but i think i'll stay
and even the waves won't carry me away

This one doesn't go with any specific character or anything. It's just one that's going on my general Cantr soundtrack (Yes, I keep playlists in Media Player). It very clearly points out the main difference between real life and Cantr for me. :D

And I thought that this thread needed some 8-bit.



And, oh, alright...since I've been posting pairs in this thread the last few times, I won't break the tradition now. This one's for my favorite. :mrgreen:

She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
By a hand that's touched me, well I feel like something's
Gonna give
And I'm a little bit angry, well

This ain't over, no not here, not while I still need you
Around
You don't owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good

She said I don't know why you ever would lie to me
Like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is
Gonna hurt ya
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
You couldn't stand to be near me
When my face don't seem to want to shine
Cuz it's a little bit dirty well

Don't just stand there, say nice things to me
I've been cheated I've been wronged, and you
You don't know me, I can't change
I won't do anything at all

Oh but don't bowl me over
Just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so
Crazy, crazy
Don't rush this baby, don't rush this baby

Anathema - One Last Goodbye
How I needed you
How I bleed now you're gone
In my dreams I can see you
But I awake so alone

I know you didn't want to leave
Your heart yearned to stay
But the strength I always loved in you
Finally gave way

Somehow I knew you would leave me this way
Somehow I knew you could never stay
And in the early morning light
After a silent peaceful night
You took my heart away

In my dreams I can see you
I can tell you how I feel
In my dreams I can hold you
It feels so real

And I still feel the pain
I still feel your love
I still feel the pain
I still feel your love

Somehow I knew you would leave me this way
Somehow I knew you could never stay
And in the early morning light
After a peaceful night
You took my heart away
I wish you could have stayed
