Everyday each fucking day I pray
I pray to a god I know does not exist
For a way some fucking way someday
For a way to make my way

Through this world full of shit
I've got nothing left
I await the angel of death
I've lost too many times

Too many times to count the pain is so great
I never asked for life
I wish at birth I had died
I try to drown this hurt
Death will be the cure for all pain

    Well, I tried, folks. I submitted the COMPLETE, 100% accurate lyrics, leaving nothing out. I typed it out myself from start to finish. It was on the site for a few days, but has been replaced with complete nonsense.

    That will be the LAST time I waste my time submitting lyrics to this site.

    Y' know, sometimes when I get up in the morning, I don't know if I can face another day 'Cause shit's been so fuckin' hard for so fuckin' long And it don't seem like shit's ever gonna change Sometimes it seems like shit ain't doin' nothin' but gettin' worse

    Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I really despise what I see 'Cause pride, strength, honor, love, and life They don't seem to have a whole lot to do with me

    It feels like something went wrong with me a long time ago Something inside me, way down deep died And I can't remember when I just don't know where the fuck I went wrong

    What's life but a river of tears anyway, huh?

    [2X] Every day Each fuckin' day I pray I pray to a god that I know does not exist For a way Some fuckin' way Some day For a way to make my way through this world full of shit

    I've got nothing left I wait for the angel of death I've lost too many times Too many times to count The pain is great

    Let me tell you somethin' Rock bottom is a sweet fuckin' dream A myth made up by a liar Whose despair is a void you can slip into forever

    I've been as low as you can go And I guess when you're at the bottom, the only place you can go is up But every time I start to get ahead Every time I start to get somewhere It seems like someone or something just knocks me the fuck back down One step forward, two steps back

    I read somewhere that without hope, man is but an animal I think I've lost hope

    I've got nothing left I wait for the angel of death I've lost too many times Too many times to count The pain is great

    And I'm so fuckin' tired of being fucked up all the time But I can't seem to do it any other way Maybe I'm not as strong as you But sometimes, my fucked-up life, it brings me down when I look around

    My life, it didn't make me hard It just hardened something way down deep inside me I think it was my humanity I want it back I wanna feel normal again, I wanna feel like a human

    I don't wanna be like this no more I'm just lookin' for some kind of shelter or salvation Or just somethin' to believe in Or maybe just... Just someone to care

    I've got nothing left I wait for the angel of death I've lost too many times Too many times to count The pain is great

    I never asked for life I wish that at birth I had died I tried to drown this hurt Death will be the cure for all this pain

    [2X] Every day Each fuckin' day I pray I pray to a god that I know does not exist For a way Some fuckin' way Some day For a way to make my way through this world full of shit

    I've got nothing left I wait for the angel of death I've lost too many times Too many times to count The pain is great

    I never asked for life I wish that at birth I had died I tried to drown this hurt Death will be the cure for all this pain

    [2X] Every day Each fuckin' day I pray I pray to a god that I know does not exist For a way Some fuckin' way Some day For a way to make my way through this world full of shit

    I've got nothing left I wait for the angel of death I've lost too many times Too many times to count The pain is great

    I never asked for life I wish that at birth I had died I tried to drown this hurt Death will be the cure for all this pain

    [2X] Every day Each fuckin' day I pray I pray to a god that I know does not exist For a way Some fuckin' way Some day For a way to make my way through this world full of shit

    There's nowhere to turn Everyone betrays you You can't trust anyone, and I'm so fuckin' paranoid I'm always waiting for the fall, for the let-down There's just nobody for sure

    I can't remember when a day's gone by that I haven't thought about takin' myself out I know I ain't shit And I know I ain't ever gonna be shit I got no future But I think I could deal with it I think I could live If I could look at just one person, and see them smile at me, and know that they meant it

    [4X] Every day Each fuckin' day I pray I pray to a god that I know does not exist For a way Some fuckin' way Some day For a way to make my way through this world full of shit

    This is like the best song ever! Pity that these arnt the full lirics, but I guess its better than nothing. Anyways, I love the liric"I pray to a god I know does niot excist", Blood For Blood rule all! Does anyone know if theyre still together?(I heard on a cd site that they wernt...), have they got any decent sites? Is there any other bands similar to the sound of BFB, hehe, but BFB will always rule all. Argh, its annoying that there arnt many Blood For Blood songs with lirics on this site, oh well :( .

    Nah Blood For Blood broke up a while back and played a reunion show a few months ago but it was a one time deal. great example of boston hardcore. and as for a band that sounds like them, no one can ever replace them, ya know?

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
