Lyrically supreme

Lyrics of two beautiful songs.

Hoobastank - 'First of Me' from their new album 'Every Man for Himself'

I must make a choice
a tough decision
Listen to my voice
should I give in
to temptation, admiration
One leads to myself
the other someone else
Just an empty shell
Just an empty shell

Its harder than it seems
When you're told that
all your hopes and dreams
Are yours to hold if
you just give them whats expected
Something they can sell
or put upon a shelf
But I am not for sale
I am not for sale

I hear a voice inside
its crawled into a scream
I'm not the next of them
I am the first of me
Cause I can't live the lie
I am just what you see
I'm not the next of them
I am the first of me

If I can't refuse
the price they offer
I am sure to lose
and I will suffer
Sell my soul to make a profit
All I have to do
is make belive its true
Thats something I can't do
Thats something I can't do

I am the first of me

So when the waitings done
and its time to face the truth
You know you're good enough
deep down inside of you
You've finally woken up
if only just to prove
You were born to lead the way
and the be the first of you.


INXS - 'Afterglow' from 'Switch'.


Here I am,
lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue,
the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses

It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow
in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go
I will find my way
when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow
in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way

I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living
in your afterglow

When the faith has gone as I let you go, as I let you go
Touch me and I will follow
in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from
the roses
It's you who is closest.
