The Emo Game

[ToraToraTora]

After the Movies

Cursive



It cant be an emo thread without this:



I can't imagine all the people that you know

And the places that you go

When the lights are turned down low

And I don't understand all the things you've seen

But i'm slipping in between

You and your big dreams

It's always you

In my big dreams



And you tell me that it's over

Wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clovers

And your restless, and i'm naked

You've gotta get out

You can't stand to see me shaking

No

Could you let me go?

I didn't think so



And you don't wanna be here in the future

So you say the present's just a pleasent interruption to the past

And you don't wanna look much closer

Cause your afraid to find out all this hope

You had sent into the sky by now had crashed

And it did

Because of me



And then you bring me home

Afraid to find out that you're alone

And I'm sleeping in your living room

But we don't have much room to live



I had these dreams that I learned to play guitar

Maybe cross the country

Become a rock star

And there was hope in me that I could take you there

But d***** you're so young

Well I don't think I care

And if I hurt you

Then I'm sorry

Please don't think that this was easy



Then you bring me home

Cause we both know what it's like to be alone

And I'm dreaming in your living room

But we don't have much room to live



And Konstantine is walking down the stairs

Doesn't she look good

Standing in her underwear

And I was thinking

What I was thinking

We've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere



My Konstantine came walking down the stairs

And all that I could do is touch her long blonde hair

And I've been thinking

It hurts me thinking that these nights

When we were drinking no they never got us anywhere

No



This is because I can spell confusion with a k

And I can like it

It's to dying in another's arms and why I had to try it

It's to Jimmy Eat World and those nights in my car

When the first star you see may not be a star

I'm not your star

Isn't that what you said

What you thought this song meant



And if this is what it takes

Just to lie in my mistakes

And live with what I did to you

And all the hell I put you through

I always catch the clock

It's 11:11

And now you want to talk

It's not hard to dream

You'll always be my Konstantine



Konstantine, they'll never hurt you like I do

No they'll never hurt you like I do

No, no, no no no no no no



This is to a girl who got into my head

With all the pretty things she did

Hey

You know

You keep me up in bed

This is to a girl who got into my head

With all the f***** up things I did

Hey

Maybe

Baby

You could keep me up in bed

My Konstantine

Spin around me like a dream we played out on this movie Screen

And I said

Did you know I missed you?

Did you know I missed you?

Did you know I missed you?

Did you know I missed you?

Did you know I missed you?

Did you know I missed you?

Did you know I missed you?

Oh god I miss you



And then you bring me home

And we'll go to sleep, but this time, not alone, no no

And you'll kiss me in your living room

I know

You'll miss me in your living room

cuz these nights i think maybe that i'll miss you in my living room

We don't have much room

I said does anybody need that room?

Because we all need a little more room

To live



My Konstantine

[Emily]

Did I mention I hate Something Corporate, especially My Konstantine????? Well, I do!



Drink down that Gin and Kerosene,

And come spit on bridges with me,

Just to keep us warm.

And light a match to leave me be.

Light a match to leave me be.

I'll keep my jealousy close,

Cause it's all mine.



And if you say this makes you happy,

Then I'm not the only one that lied.



Keep quiet,

Nothing comes as easy as you.

Can I lay in your bed all day,

I'll be your best kept secret,

And your biggest mistake?

(The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday)

So wear me like a locket around your throat.

I'll weigh you down.

I'll watch you choke.

You look so good in blue.

You look so good in blue.

No Body Puts Baby In Teh Corner

by Fall Out Boy



These are your good years

don't take my advice

you never wanted the nice boys anyway

and I'm of good cheer

cause I've been checking my list

the gifts you're receiving from me

will be



one awkward silence

and two hopes you cry yourself to sleep

staying up, waiting by the phone

and all I want this year is for you to dedicate your last breathe to me

before you bury yourself alive



don't come home for Christmas

you're the last thing I wanna see

underneath the tree

merry Christmas, I could care less



happy new years baby

you owe me

the best gift I will ever ask for

don't call me up, when the snow comes down

its the only thing I want this year



one awkward silence

and two hopes you cry yourself to sleep

staying up, waiting by the phone

all I want this year is for you to dedicate your last breathe to me

before you bury yourself alive



don't come home for Christmas

you're the last thing I wanna see

underneath the tree

merry Christmas, I could care less



don't come home for Christmas

you're the last thing I wanna see

underneath the tree (don't come home for Christmas)

merry Christmas, I could care less



don't come home for Christmas

you're the last thing I wanna see

underneath the tree (don't come home for Christmas)

merry Christmas, I could care less

Fallout Boy - Yule Shoot Your Eye Out



How festive!



I saw something I was not supposed to see

A ghostly memory that keeps on haunting me



(The kitchen door was open a crack,

So naively we peeked inside)



Oh, darling sister, have they hurt you, have they hurt you?

Oh, Pretty Baby, they won't touch you

They won't touch you again

We will fix this incident



I don't want to be seen as a pretty thing

'Cause it's the pretty things that we're always breaking...



(And now she whispers into the mirror:) I'm broken.



Oh doctor, doctor, can you fix me, can you fix me?



Oh Pretty Baby, you're so naive -- but it comes off so cute

We don't want to fix you

We love you just the way you are

The butterfly pinned to the page

The nightingale locked in the cage -- won't you sing for me?

Sing for me, uh-huh

Yeah, we love you just the way you are

Crushed 'neath fashion magazines

Trampled by circus pony dreams -- won't you kiss me?

Won't you kiss me, uh-huh



Oh please, mister, can't you fix me, can't you fix me? (uh-huh)

Someone, anyone, won't you fix me, won't you fix me? (uh-huh)

Oh, someone, please, the moon has raped me

I can feel it inside me

Oh, mama, please let someone fix me!

Let them fix me, uh-huh

Let them fix me, uh-huh



So cry yourself to sleep

Cry yourself to sleep 'cause I am strong and you are weak

Wait, you are strong, and I am weak

Fuck -- just cry yourself to sleep

[ToraToraTora]

The Lament of Pretty Baby

Cursive



Sleep with all the lights on,

You're not so happy, you're not secure.

And you're dying to look cute in your blue jeans,

but you're plastic just like everyone, just like everyone.

And that face you paint is pressed,

impressing most of us as permanent,

and I'd like to see you undone.

College night will draw the crowds.

Dorms unload and you're heading out,

Here is your moment to shine.



Making up a history,

It's nothing from the life you lead,

but man, will they buy all your lines?



Sleep with all the sheets off,

bearing your mattress, bearing your soul.

And you're dying to look smooth with your tattoos,

but you're searching just like everyone, could be anyone.

And those friends that you have are the best

impressing most of us as permanent,

and I'd like to see you undone.



Youth's the most unfaithful mistress,

Still we forge ahead to miss her,

Rushing our moment to shine.



Making up a history,

It's nothing from the life you lead,

but man will they buy all your lines?



We're not twenty-one,

but the sooner we are,

the sooner the fun will begin,

so get out your fake eyelashes,

and fake i.d's,

and real disasters ensue,

it's cool to take these chances.

It's cool to fake romances.

and grow up fast, and grow up fast,

and grow up fast, and grow up fast.

Dashboard - Swiss Army Romance



Might as well stick....





Buried deep as you can

Dig inside yourself,

And covered with

A perfect shell,

Such a charming

Beautiful exterior.

Laced with a briliant smile

And shining eyes

Perfect posture

But you're barely scraping by

You're barely scraping by



This is one time

That you can't fake

It hard enough to please

Everyone or anyone at all.

And the grave that

You refuse to leave

The refuge that

You've built to flee

The places that

You have come to fear the most.



Buried deep as you can

Dig inside yourself,

And hidden in the public eye.

Such a stellar

Monument to loneliness.

Laced with brilliant smiles

And shining eyes

And perfect makeup

But you're barely scraping by

[ToraToraTora]

The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most - Dashboard Confessional



I've got my eye on top shelf liquor,

With taste so smooth it

Hits you quicker.

But you've only got the well.



And I've got an eye for top tier women

With legs so long they go straight to heaven,

But this old bunch looks like hell.



But tonight I'll take what I can get.



I'd like to hear a great musician

With strange ideas and grand ambitions,

But this guy, he's got trouble with chords.



And I'd like to leave this game a winner

Head held high, the luck of beginners

But this old losers crawling out on all fours.



But tonight I'll take what I can get.



Well this drink will do,

And girl you look alright,

And this band is playing like hell tonight.



These dice are loaded

And Lord I am too

I might be losing but I'm leaving soon.



With the prettiest girl

To enter this dump,

She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rum

And tonight I'll take what I can get

Tonight I'll take what I can get



I've got my sights on brand new beginnings

Brand new starts make saints of sinners

But I'm doomed to live in my past



Live nude girls says the sign out front,

But old dead dreams are dancing in front,

Of old dead dreamers with washed up luck,

Buyin' love for cash



Well tonight I'll take what I can get.



This old story gets stale and dry,

No matter how I try and try

To spin this fable

Fresh and new



You strung me along

Like a tease on prom night

Getting me loose but

Leaving me uptight

Please tell me that

Some of that love was true.



Tonight I'll take what I can get



Well this drink will do,

And girl you look alright,

And this band is playing like hell tonight.



These dice are loaded

And Lord I am too

But I might be losing but I'm scoring soon.



With the prettiest girl

To enter this dump,

She drank all of the whiskey but she left me the rum

And tonight I'll take what I can get.

Tonight I'll take what I can get



Well this drink will do

And girl you look alright

And this band is playin like hell tonight.



These dice are loaded and Lord I am too

I might be losing but I'm leaving soon

With the prettiest girl

To enter this dump

She drank all of the whisky but she left me the rum

And tonight I'll take what I can get

Tonight I'll take what I can get

Tonight I'll take what I can get

Tonight I'll take what I can get

[Breathe_In_For_Luck7]

Dashboard Confessional lyrics - Tonight I'll Take What I Can Get



felt for sure last night

That once we said goodbye

No one else will know these lonely dreams

No one else will know that part of me

I'm still driving away

And I'm sorry every day

I won't always love these selfish things

I won't always live...

Not stopping...



It was my turn to decide

I knew this was our time

No one else will have me like you do

No one else will have me, only you



You'll sit alone forever

If you wait for the right time

What are you hoping for?

I'm here I'm now I'm ready

Holding on tight

Don't give away the end

The one thing that stays mine



Amazing still it seems

I'll be 23

I won't always love what I'll never have

I won't always live in my regrets



You'll sit alone forever

If you wait for the right time

What are you hoping for?

I'm here I'm now I'm ready

Holding on tight

Don't give away the end

The one thing that stays mine



You'll sit alone forever

If you wait for the right time

What are you hoping for?

I'm here I'm now I'm ready

Holding on tight

Don't give away the end

The one thing that stays mine...
