Dark Labyrinth[Jareth]
In my dark Labyrinth I was tossing and turning
All my nightmares made real oh how can this be --
the words slipped out of her lips --
My kingdom fallen to bits!
Then I opened my eyes
And the blame was on me!!

I was once the most magical Fae and Unseelie.
When the Courts cast me out I found my own way!
A kingdom abandoned by time
a king at the start of his prime!
but six words spoken
tore it away!

[Goblins]
from the dark labyrinth magic will find her
In the dark labyrinth night has no dawn!

[Jareth]
Revenge will be so sweet

[Jareth AND Goblins]
When the queen falls to my feet!

[ALL]
In the dark labyrinth

[Jareth screaming / lig
dark lullabyI can’t help it, it’s not fair
I sense something in the air
There’s voices undefined
It’s the wind, part of my mind
There’s bleakness about this place
Like darkness that hides in lace
Rain descends slowly
A coldness of the unholy
My soul grows icy

I can’t help it, it’s not fair
A face hidden in the briar
Roses prick and blood me
Someone hides, I can’t see
Wind picks up swirling around
My body feels as if it’s bound
He reaches out to feel
My eyes flutter, it’s surreal
My soul burns bright

I can’t help it, it’s not fair
He touches me, I don’t care
His claws pervade
Distraction Is An Art
Such a good day to sit in a trance.
I'd make a move but I never learnt to dance.
Wolf down some dinner, butter and bread,
so I can grab ideas from my head.

I can't concentrate.
My brain is on a plate.

Get with the program, you lazy sod.
It will take more than a gentle prod.
Brain gave the body a big headstart.
I've made distraction into an art.

I can't concentrate.
My brain is on a plate.

I tell myself, tell it so loud:
"Take your head out from all the clouds."

Don't want to play the empty-headed bore.
I'll stop my brain from falling on the floor.

I can't concentrate.
My brain is on a plate.
Braeburn
(To the tune of ‘Raise this barn’)

Who’s that stallion, who’s that stallion?
Why it’s Braeburn!
Who’s that stallion, who’s that stallion?
Why it’s Braeburn!

Sexiest guy in all the land
Helpin’ out any way he can
Everypony knows with his hat and vest
He’s more handsome than the rest

Who’s that stallion, who’s that stallion?
Why it’s Braeburn!
Who’s that stallion, who’s that stallion?
Why it’s Braeburn!

Workin’ hard to help his town
Buckin’ trees til the apples fall down
Not a lotta land but they make it work
And Braeburn Apple never
Upside-down WorldI lift my feet into the air
and stand upon my crown
to understand the place we live:
a world that’s upside-down.

How does one perceive a state
where everything’s amiss?
To comprehend the dizzy place
what you must do is this:

Colour green the flighty sky!
Play soccer with a fish!
Then plant a penny in the ground,
among the stars, a wish.

Sail on a flying ship –
with stop-overs for tea.
I spy a wicked thunderstorm
of clouds beneath the sea.

Apollo is a witty man
and funny, like the moon.
Send letters to the racy dish
that ran off with the spoon.

Break the mirror, watch the cat,
or kiss the water’s face.
The samenes
Nemesissolitude anchors you to itself
like a mirror: narcissistic, profound
come, lay your reflections down

rest your head by my stream
sink into my paperwhite dream
bow your head, listlessly towards the water

you’re my favourite flower
Angel ChildHello.
Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
My name's not important. Just thoughts.
The inside, not the outside
Don't you agree?
If not, that's fine.
You're not really expected to.
After all, you live in today.
That's bound to do some pretty crazy things
To anyone.

Now I can tell from the look on your face what you're thinking.
But even though I am a kid, I can think things like..

If only we could somehow find a way to comprehend
The value of one second of one life
Then maybe our universe wouldn't be so twisted up
What with war, greed, and all of that nonsense

You may believe we have seventy years and then that's it
But no matter what, I thi
DEADicated to Ray ManzarekThe music never dies or fades away,
It waits for us to give its pretty sound.
Whatever happens, it is there, they say,
In sun and rains falling on the ground.

And all of us who keep the music sounds
Inside our souls and never let them fade
Will stay alive despite the deathly bounds
In charming melodies we loved and played.

That's why I'm sure that you haven't died,
You're still the same and will stay with us
To light your fire in our hearts, to ride
The storm of love and lead us to the stars
Notice MeWould you just notice me
cause I can hardly breath..
When you peer in my soul
see I've lost all control!!
the numb effect takes hold
AS I ATTEMPT TO BREAK MOLD!!
There's Nothing Left of MEEEEEEE...
I'm FUCKED up! or can't you SEE!!
Im just an ANIMAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Broken FREE of CAGE!!
I'm a Demon spawnnnnn!!! consumed by RAAAAGGGGGEEEEE!!!!!!!
Noooooooo!!!!!! I will not back down!!!
AHHHHHH!!!!! I will stand my ground.....
This Numb effect takes hold
But IIIIII SHALL..... Break!!!!!....THIS!!!!.....MOOOOLLLLDDDDD!!!!!!.....
(whispers)
would you just notice me
cause I can hardly breath......
(little louder)
I feel it taking hold
my heart growing icy COLD
(talking to the crowd)
All right my brothers!! Are we ready To Smash shit up???
I wanna see this fucking place burn to the ground!!!!
Will you help US?????
All RIIIIGGGGHHHHTTTTTT!!!!!!!
NAHHHHHH!!!!!!I WILL NOT BACK DOWN!!!!
And IIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!! will stand MY GROUND!!!!
Get your BATTLE AXES OUT!!!!
Let me hear YOU SHOUUUTTTTTTT!!!!
Emp(i)tyYou command with barren sceptres in your gripe
Keep us drugged by your shit-stirred hype
You feed on the mass applause and hysteria
But you're teetering like a see-saw of mysteria
You know where to find us, deep in the gutter
Clipped our wings so we can no longer flutter
Drowned like the poor itsy-bitsy spider
The system with no care is what we're tied ta'

Float on above us, high in a cloud
Kissing the arse of the one-and-only crown
Neglect us, beat us, kick us while we're down
And when we kick in protest just tut and frown
You lords. You ladies. Barons. Dukes and M-fucking-P's
Selfish, arrogant, vain... just empty with no pity

So hold onto
The Man Who Can't Be Moved - The ScriptGoing back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the st
Growing Old BonesI don’t know why people bury dead bodies
They're not gonna grow again
They’re not gonna grow again
The only thing that’ll grow from them is the mold
Dried up and dirty,
Bones so old
The gravediggers and the golddiggers
Are one in the same,
They spend all their time
Diggin’ other people’s graves
They spend all their time
They don’t have free time
They spend all their time
Diggin’ other people’s graves
Lately everybody’s been burning their bones
To try and make them germinate
But only ash comes from the kidney stones
Hey, look at the world, it’s no fun anymore
It’s no fun anymore
It’s no fun anymore
Nothing can grow
True love can’t grow anymore,
People get divorces
Nations can’t grow anymore,
They have so many armed forces
Kid’s can’t grow anymore,
LonelyIf they don't see me,
Then why would they need me?

Sure, I laugh, I smile,
But I'm lonely.

My heart feels icy,
Yet my smile tries to fool them,
But they don't see me,
so what's the use of tryin'?

I just want a friend,
Just one small friend.

I want someone to know my existence.

But maybe I'm being selfish.

Because I look at you all,
Smiles on your faces and warming hearts,
and can't help but wonder..

If you were lonely once too.
Rythian and Zoeya's Tekkit Playlist!!!1.  Dear Rosemary~ Foo Fighters
POV: Rythian
"Now get away get away get away from me. I couldn't grow just living in the shadows, Where do you go when no one's following you? You ran away ran away it was right on queue."

2. Little Talks~ Of Monsters and Men
POV: Both
"Don't listen to a word I say, The screams all sound the same, Though the truth may vary this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore."

3. To Darkness~ Mumford and Sons
POV: Rythian
"I will not fall, Once more I'm called. Time comes for all. Then dark is whole. But oh, my heart was flawed, I knew my weakness. So hold my hand, Subscribe me not to darkness."

Somewhere In-BetweenHold me tight
As the dawn breaks the night sky
And remember all the things that we've seen
Chase away
Your dreams from the stars into the moonlight
Until the non-believers will believe

Well her face felt like gold
Pouring on my soul
But I've been stuck somewhere in-between
And as the dawn breaks
I can see it in her face
She's still lost somewhere in a dream
In a dream

As the rain pours down
Satan's ghost all around
Will you stay here tonight with me
But I can see it in your eyes
You won't be here tonight
Nothing's ever quite as it seems
As it seems

But her face felt like gold
Pouring on my soul
But I've been stuck somewhere in-between

The earth is moving,
it's shaking so hard
My soul, unlike my body,
bruised, beaten and scarred

I can't see the city,
through all the debris,
Maybe it's from the earthquake
inside of me

Every time I daydream,
I'm looking at the sky
And every night I'm sleeping,
I always wonder why
Was it 'cause of me,
because I wasn't good enough
When I did what was needed,
how could you be so rough

Thinking of what was,
should I be feeling free?
How could you leave
when you mean so much to me?
It's not my fault,
you were never there
Where is life's pause,
because it's just not fair.

I used to watch you dancing,
from up such great heights,
Now I feel blinded,
from the strongest floodlights.
I can't think about those times,
without feeling sick
It had started, it's over,
my god that was quick.

Thinking of what was,
should I be feeling free?
How could you leave
when you mean so much to me?
It's not my fault,
you were never there
Where is life's pause,
because it's just not fair.

This feels like a burn,
of the highest degree
If you had to choose one,
why couldn't it be me?
It's not my fault,
you were never there
Where is life's pause,
because it's just not fair.

Though life's getting better,
it's sure not there yet
The sun will shine soon,
and I will forget

The name is subject to change.
