A song about insomnia.

Lyrics:
Think it’s starting to happen
I’ve had my eyes shut for so long
But the sun’s started rising
Don’t know what I’m doing wrong

Crawling out of my bed again
Worn out from 10 nights of no sleep
Gotta give it my best attempt
Even though I feel like a zombie

My mind wanders
I can’t even think straight
Just trying
To get through the workday

While I’m pondering
Pretexts to get away
The day flies by
I go home and then I’m gonna do it all again

Stumbling back into bed
Just want this nightmare to end soon
Makes me wanna be dead
But there’s still so many things I wanna do
Wanna prove
I’m not through but

My mind wanders
I can’t even think straight
Just trying
To get through the workday

While I’m pondering
Pretexts to get away
The day flies by
I go home and then I’m gonna

Cancel all my plans
Don’t even want to dance
Cause maybe there’s a chance that I might fall asleep tonight

Always feel like shit
Can’t see the end of it
Staring at the moonlit sky again
Maybe I could just pretend

Think it’s starting to happen
I’ve had my eyes shut for so long
But the sun’s started rising
Don’t know what I’m doing wrong

Still Into You - Paramore (cover ft. Demi Dawn)

Team 9's entry for Game of Bands round 126

Lyrics:

In the grim dystopic future of 198X
An unfamiliar terror has a range of strange effects
As upon our home, from among the reach of gods
Alight a fleet of pulsing pods
 
You can feel them sleeping inside
Their minds are probing out
They're sensing doubt
Compulsion draws us near
And soothes our rightful fear
Intent seems clear
 
A fate has come along
The hour’s late, the sins are strong
No time to burn away the haunted dreams of yesterday
 
Human hands to split them apart
If they don't look scary
(Be wary)
Their eyes of silver lure us closer (closer)
Closer to the flame
(Closer to the flame)
 
A fate has come along
The hour’s late, the sins are strong
No time to burn away the haunted dreams of yesterday
 
Our pulses weaken, steady
Who knew our thoughts were so ready
We pride ourselves of will, but all we've learned to do is kill
 
You can feel them peeking inside
Their minds arrive as kings
They pluck our strings
Your body stands at guard
Protecting these fair angels from the stars
(From the stars)
 
A fate has come along
The hour’s late, the sins are strong
No time to burn away the haunted dreams of yesterday

An end has come along
The ego fled, the lines are drawn
Designs are burned away
Consumed by what they say
You will not be afraid of dreams today

Lyrics:
Used to think it was natural, playing a role
I thought that I had mastered the game
But from the moment you came along, and caged my soul
The sight of you made me forget my name

Through the party I saw you dancing, girl
I spotted and checked your shape
And when the light all around your head started to swirl
You made me feel as though I were saved

The thought of you re-buffing me
Almost cost me the opportunity
I was blinded, but I had to see
It was critical to move

Like magic, I'm petrified alive for you
Like magic, I'm tripping up across the room
A round with you and I knew I would never be the same
And like magic, you saw me too


If I wanted a passable dance floor chat 
I'd be putting my charm to the test
Might need another class in persuasion, stat
Because I couldn't get my heart to rest

I initiated it, with no success
Couldn't bear to bug you a moment less
You were free to speak to
But I still could not get it off my chest

Like magic, I'm petrified alive for you
Like magic, I'm tripping up across the room
A round with you and I knew I would never be the same
And like magic, you saw me too


You were a trap that I failed to detect
But I didn't mind falling in
You got me stunned
Stunned like a statue, my girl in gold
You caught me cold

Like magic, I'm petrified alive for you
Like magic, I'm tripping up across the room
A round with you and I knew I would never be the same
And like magic, you saw me too

Lyrics:
We could take the long way home
If you’d like that let me know
Driving down the longest roads
Nothing but ourselves in tow

And we could take tomorrow off
Take the time to let this grow
We won’t even care if we get lost 
Baby just enjoy the show

All night, all night
Baby we could take it slow
Cause we’ve got nowhere to go
All night, all night, all night

And we could talk the whole night long
Just to prove that this is real
Talking 'bout our favorite songs
And about the ways we feel

And we won’t ever let this stop
Cause we’ve got so much to reveal
 Baby, we could share our deepest thoughts	
And leave no secrets left concealed

All night, all night
Baby we could take it slow
Cause we’ve got nowhere to go
All night, all night, all night

Song created for the Game Of Bands contest

Vocals by: deadplatypus

Verse 1

From the distance came a roaring
And a force that shook the ground
Dark skies raining earth and fire
Like Vulcan’s hammer coming down

Only stones and bones remaining
And a story of the past
In the shadow of the mountain
Buried deep beneath the ash

Pre-Chorus

And the tales they told 
Of Atlantis old
No longer seemed so odd
As they watched the flames
Coming down like waves
A storm to drown them all
A storm to drown them all

Chorus

Lost to fire but not to time
Until the story fades
What we unearth we give rebirth
The ghosts of old Pompeii

Lost to fire but not to time
Until the story fades
What we unearth we give rebirth
The ghosts of old Pompeii

Interlude (Instrumental)

Verse 2

From the ships they saw the burning
And the dark cloud drawing near
Heard the screams of people fleeing
In the chaos and the fear

And they turned to the commander 
Contemplating safe retreat
But the people needed rescue
So he ordered forth the fleet

Pre-Chorus

And the tales they told 
Of Atlantis old
No longer seemed so odd
As they watched the flames
Coming down like waves
A storm to drown them all
A storm to drown them all

Chorus

Lost to fire but not to time
Until the story fades
What we unearth we give rebirth
The ghosts of old Pompeii

Bridge

Only stones and bones remaining
And the words scratched into wax
Of the city and the mountain
And the past beneath the ash

Break

Chorus

Lost to fire but not to time
Until the story fades
What we unearth we give rebirth
The ghosts of old Pompeii

Lost to fire but not to time
Until the story fades
What we unearth we give rebirth
The ghosts of old Pompeii

Lost to fire but not to time
Until the story fades
What we unearth we give rebirth
The ghosts of old Pompeii

Pompeii

The band consists of two friends, Sam Lee and Alex Caplow, and a great story. ‘Real Life Color,’ was initially created while the band members were volunteering on the organic farms of France. They brought their rough recordings and ideas back to the Boston area, where they communicated the music via the internet-tubes. The rough demos were then made into glorious and inspiring electronic treasure for all to enjoy. And that includes you! Get it now!

Verse 1

Lights out
Not another soul for miles
Between the water and the trees
Under [these] endless, open skies

Out here in my seclusion
No noise, no light pollution
Staring out at the stars
So far but never closer
(never closer, no)
Than I’ve been right now

Chorus

So here I am stargazing
Eyes raised to the amazing
Cool wind and starlight gleaming
A deeper dream than [I’ve been] dreaming
(And yeah I am stargazing)

Verse 2

Back home
I remember pale white dots
Blending with the city lights
Nothing like this, barely bright

Out here in isolation
Alone among creation
Watching constellations drift
So far but so much closer
Than I have ever been


Chorus

Bridge

The explorer’s guiding light
The canvas where we paint our myths
A new frontier still unexplored
And so much more

Chorus
