its sad that no one else has asked me to write a song for them...
"Fireflies"
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave tear drops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and ... stare
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(Thread, thread...)
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
(Ha-ha)
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(Said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
(Jar, jar, jar...)
[2x]
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams -
"Not Gonna Die"
Death surrounds
My heartbeats slowing down
I wont take this worlds abuse
I wont give up, I refuse!
This is how it feels when youre bent and broken
This is how it feels when your dignitys stolen
When everything you love is leaving
You hold on to what you believe in
The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flat line
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna stand and fight forever
(Dont close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together
No, were not gonna die tonight
Break their hold
'Cause I wont be controlled
They cant keep their chains on me
When the truth has set me free
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you finally fight back
When life pushes me I push harder
What doesnt kill me makes me stronger
The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flat line
No, not gonna die tonight
Were gonna stand and fight forever
(Dont close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together
No, were not gonna die tonight
Dont you give up on me
Youre everything I need
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you, fight, back!
No, not gonna die tonight
Were gonna stand and fight forever
(Dont close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together
No, were not gonna die tonight
No, were not gonna die tonight
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die tonight -

Good song -

I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah
I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
if I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite
You call me strong, you call me weak
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head
If not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back on solid ground
If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite
If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite, yeah
If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might

"Rise"
All I see is shattered pieces
I can't keep it hidden like a secret
I can't look away!
From all this pain in a world we made!
Everyday you need a bulletproof vest
To save yourself from what you could never guess!
Am I safe today?
When I step outside in the wars we wage!
Our future's here and now,
Here comes the countdown!
Sound it off, this is the call!
Rise in revolution!
It's our time to change it all,
Rise in revolution!
Unite and fight, to make a better life!
Everybody one for all,
Sound off, this is the call, tonight we rise!
Rise.
Tonight we rise
Rise.
Tonight we rise!
Like a hand grenade thrown in a hurricane,
Spinning in chaos, trying to escape the flame,
Yesterday is gone!
Faster than the blast of a car bomb!
And when the scars heal, the pain passes,
As hope burns, we rise from the ashes!
Darkness fades away!
And the light shines on a brave new day!
Our future's here and now,
Here comes the countdown!
Sound it off, this is the call!
Rise in revolution!
It's our time to change it all,
Rise in revolution!
Unite and fight to make a better life!
Everybody one for all,
Sound off, this is the call,
tonight we rise!
Rise.
Tonight we rise
Rise.
Tonight we rise!
In a world gone mad,
In a place so sad!
Sometimes it's crazy
To fight for what you believe!
But you can't give up
,If you wanna
keep what you love!
(Keep what you love)
Keep what you love
(Keep what you love)
Keep what you love
Never give up, no!!!
Rise.
Rise in revolution
Rise.
Rise in revolution
Everybody one for all,
Sound off, this is the call!
Rise
Like we're alive
Tonight we rise
Rise
Make a better life
Tonight we rise!
Rise, rise, rise in revolution
Rise, rise, rise in revolution
Rise.

Bring me down now,
let me crash n burn
and let this world discern
whether I'm needed
whether I go on
to be that great man
they always, expect of me
that stronghold, the pillar to stand by
but I'm not that guy
I never will, be
give me truth, give me..lie
give me love, give me, hate
cause the world ain't got no gate
except death himself
let's go su-i-cide
now let me die
all alone like I've been
since the dawn of my time
of spent on Earth
No one knows
the way I go
from this day on, I shall be known
as the king of dark
the king of a-lone
Show me the way
in the nothingness that I control
la da da da let ne die
na da da da da now let me die
all a-lone like I've been
Now the countdown begins t' 10
9 8 7, 6 5 4, 3 2 1, Now let me go
let me fall
into this pit
that is my home
this is my, last goodbye
to the world, that never loved me
Goodbye I say, goodbye... -
That whole thing is to the tune of Weathered by Creed, the part of it that starts with " the day, reminds me of you" and ends with "I chose to fight, to fight"

Why, why do you always say things like this.

"Heroes"
we could hide away in daylight
we go undercover under the sun
got a secret side in plain sight
where the streets are empty that's where we run
everyday people do everyday things but I
can't be one of them
I know you hear me now
we are a different kind
we can do anything
we could be hero-o-o-o-oes
we could be hero-o-o-o-oes, me and you
we could be -
close my eyes only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another momemy buy
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind (all we are is dust in the wind)
Dust in the wind (everything is dust in the wind), everything is dust in the wind (the wind) -
Live like the old days
When things were simpler
Live the way I remember
For now things have changed
And I just want my life back!
Rid this world of this,
The pain we now hold
Give me a reason
To press on through this
The life we live
Now makes no sense
And then let me fall into the light
That I've waited for this whole time
And let me go, and let me...
I once thought that there really was
A light at the end
Of the long dark tunnel that we call life
Give me the chance
To live yet again
To live, again, again
Let me die, let me live
We climb into that hole
Never to come back out
Like the Phoenix we rise
From the ashes we made
When we burnt these bridges
Down to the ground
Kill this love, it only hurts
More for each day that passes
Weathering us to, weathering us to dust
Rid this world of this,
The pain we now hold
Give me a reason
To press on through this
The life we live
Now makes no sense
And then let me fall into the light
That I've waited for this whole time
And let me go, and let me...
Go down in flames
We will live again
No one can bring us down
We're unstoppable
Try to bring us down
You'll be destroyed in an instant
Like the big bang we go
We go down in flames
Our love will live again
Past the end of time
Past the end of eternity,
Past the infinite boundary we lie
Like the Phoenix we rise
From our ashes
The flames consume
The vision I have
That of a greater world
One of perfect
No one will bring us down
Those that try
Rid this world of this,
The pain we now hold
Give me a reason
To press on through this
The life we live
Now makes no sense
And then let me fall into the light
That I've waited for this whole time
And let me go, and let me...
Rid this world of this,
The pain we now hold
Give me a reason
To press on through this
The life we live, the tunnel
Now makes no sense
And then let me fall into the light
That I've waited for this whole time
And let me go, and let me...
Let this go
Release your grasp
On all you've ever known
The beautiful world
Now gone
Now gone...
We will live, live yet again
Rise from the ashes
From when we went down
They brought us down but we got up
They can't win, we are those that know
How to fight, to live
We will we will live again,
Live again, oh oh, live
The teachings they give
Are only a great lie
The world we live isn't what it seems
The sirens tempt us
But we won't fall,
What we want is each other
No riches could compare
No immortality, no infinite gold
No silver, no win, no loss
We will live yet again
Better than we ever have here
And this, found is my goodbye
[walkie talkie voice]
Hello, world, you've treated me well
But now, to your people I must say goodbye.
Don't do what I have, or you might end up in hell. -
"Photograph"
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey's head?
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate?
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me... -
Don't look back
A new day is breakin'
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind where I get taken
The road is callin'
Today is the day
I can see
It took so long to realize
I'm much too strong
Not to comprimise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around
I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Far away and left behind
It's a new horizon and I'm awakin' now
Oh I see myself in a brand new way
The sun is shinin'
the clouds are breakin'
'Canse I can't lose now, there's no game to play
I can tell
There's no more time left to criticize
I've seen what I could not recognize
Everthing in my life was leading me on
but I can be strong
I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Far away and left behind
