Thread for song lyrics you like without the music... to make this thread different to other music threads, the idea is to leave out the music itself and just post song lyrics you like.
So, from me first... here's the lyrics to Deform to Form a Star by Steven Wilson:
Oh once in a while I learn how to smile Horses shadows and rain on stone
No god here I'm sure This must be the cure For all this carrion and aimless drift
Retreat from the begging And invites to the wedding Revelation means nothing here
In time we forget our need to devour All the stories of tortured souls
Crawl into your arms Become the night forever Coiled and close, the moment froze Deform to form a star Here on earth together I got time to share and a well used stare
This smile isn't pure Certain or sure Cold precision was never there
The way we uncoil Return to the soil Flaws are everything and chaos reigns
Best lyrics? Ghost of chance by rush. My phone won't let copy the lyric over but I know the chorus
I don't believe in destiny
Or the guiding hand of fat
I dont believe in the stars and the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe there is a ghost of a chance
We can find someone to love
And make it last
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Steven Wilson is actually a massive fan of Rush, I haven't had chance to listen to any Rush yet... it's on my to-do list! Been getting into some King Crimson first!
More Steven Wilson lyrics, Dark Matter by Porcupine Tree:
Inside the vehicle the cold is extreme
Smoke in my throat kicks me out of my dream
I try to relax but its warmer outside
I fail to connect, it's a tragic divide
This has become a full time career
To die young would take only 21 years
Gun down a school or blow up a car
The media circus will make you a star
Dark matter flowing out on to a tape
Is only as loud as the silence it breaks
Most things decay in a matter of days
The product is sold the memory fades
I'm five hundred miles away from home.
Teardrops fell on mama's note when I read the things she wrote
She said, "We miss you son, we love you come on home."
Well, I didn't have to pack, I had it all right on my back
Now I'm five hundred miles away from home.
Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles
Away from home.
I know this is the same road I took the day I left home
But it sure looks different now
Well, I guess I look different too cause time changes everything
I wonder what they'll say when they see their boy looking this way
Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home.
Can't remember when I ate it's just thumb and walk and wait
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home
If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home.
Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles
Away from home...
Imagine Dragons: Demons
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
At the curtain’s call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
And lastly
Hozier: Take me to church
My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
"We were born sick," you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom."
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick
But I love it
Command me to be well
Aaay. Amen. Amen. Amen.
[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine-looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work
[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
No Masters or Kings
When the Ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Ooh oh. Amen. Amen. Amen.
[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

Reason never seems to come to guilty men
Things that meant so much mean nothing in the end
That function is dysfunction and to hide the truth
Distracted by their faith, ignoring every proof
A bicycle
A garden wall
A mother’s call
A love is born
And after all, the sleet that falls on me
In this city there are those who'd live alone
Twilight brings them from the gloom into our homes
And hiding there among the wreckage left behind
They see things that aren't there when they close their eyes
Come back if you want to
And remember who you are
‘Cause there's nothing here for you my dear
And everything must pass
When the world doesn't want you
It will never tell you why
You can shut the door but you can’t ignore
The crawl of your decline
Dear God, hope you get the letter and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat from God
I can't believe in you
Dear God, sorry to disturb you but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
I can't believe in you
Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the Devil too!
Dear God don't know if you noticed but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
Still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear God
I can't believe in
I don't believe
I won't believe in heaven or hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'll perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in
Even though it;s nearly heretical to consider removing the music from this one.....
D'Angelo - Devil's Pie.
Fuck the slice we want the pie Why ask why till we fry Watch us all stand in line For a slice of the devil's pie Drugs and thugs women wine Three or four at a time Watch them all stand in line For a slice of the devil's pie
Who am I to justify All the evil in our eye When I myself feel the high From all that I despise Behind the jail or in the grave I have to lay in this bed I made If I die before I wake I Hope the lord dont' hesitate 2 Get 2 heaven done been through hell Tell my peeps all is well All them fools whose soul's 4 sale Sitting next to the Jezebel Demons screaming in my ear All my anger all my fear If I holler let them hear In this spinning sphere
Fuck the slice we want the pie Why ask why till we fry Watch us all stand in line For a slice of the devil's pie Drugs and thugs women wine Three or four at a time Watch them all stand in line For a slice of the devil's pie
Main ingredients 2 this dish Goes like this Here's the list Materialistic, greed and lust, jealousy, envious Bread and dough, cheddar cheese, flash and stash, cash and cream Temperatures at a high degree Wheres niggas come 2 feast
Hell's this all about Apocalypse ain't no doubt Everbody's ho'ing out all the loot all the clout Right or wrong Do or die Only the vengeance will pacify Watch your back And so will I In these days and time
Fuck the slice we want the pie Why ask why till we fry Watch us all stand in line For a slice of the devil's pie Drugs and thugs women wine Three or four at a time Watch them all stand in line For a slice of the devil's pie
Aint no justice It's Just us Ashes 2 ashes Dust 2 dust Time has come for most of us 2 Choose in which God we trust I know I was born 2 die Searching 2 find Piece of mind With eighty five dumb and blind There can be no compromise
Fuck the slice we want the pie Why ask why till we fry Watch us all stand in line For a slice of the devil's pie Drugs and thugs women wine Three or four at a time Watch them all stand in line For a slice of the devil's pie

Vicarious by Tool:
Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavour
It happens to be like;
Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used the poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye
That's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies
Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother
Holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying
Why, oh why?
'cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
You all need it too, don't lie
Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
The writers of stories sold
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so
Why can't we just admit it?
Blood like rain come down
Drawn on grave and ground
Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal
Sing to the death rattle
La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie
Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.
Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen.
Shouldn't have to say it all again.
The universe is hostile. So impersonal. Devour to survive.
So it is. So it's always been.
We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire
Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I
