    Linkin Park - Numb


    I'm tired of being what you want me to be
    Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
    Don't know what you're expecting of me
    Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
    (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
    Every step that I take is another mistake to you
    (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

    [Chorus]
    I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
    Become so tired, so much more aware
    I'm becoming this, all I want to do
    Is be more like me and be less like you

    Can't you see that you're smothering me,
    Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
    'Cause everything that you thought I would be
    Has fallen apart right in front of you.
    (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
    Every step that I take is another mistake to you.
    (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
    And every second I waste is more than I can take.

    [Chorus]
    I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
    Become so tired, so much more aware
    I'm becoming this, all I want to do
    Is be more like me and be less like you.

    And I know
    I may end up failing too.
    But I know
    You were just like me with someone disappointed in you.

    [Chorus]
    I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
    Become so tired, so much more aware.
    I'm becoming this, all I want to do
    Is be more like me and be less like you.

    [Chorus]
    I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.
    (I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
    I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.
    (I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

    Let it Go Idina Menzel

    The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
    Not a footprint to be seen
    A kingdom of isolation,
    And it looks like I'm the queen.

    The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
    Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried!

    Don't let them in, don't let them see
    Be the good girl you always have to be
    Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
    Well, now they know!

    Let it go, let it go
    Can't hold it back anymore
    Let it go, let it go
    Turn away and slam the door!

    I don't care
    What they're going to say
    Let the storm rage on,
    The cold never bothered me anyway!

    It's funny how some distance
    Makes everything seem small
    And the fears that once controlled me
    Can't get to me at all!

    It's time to see what I can do
    To test the limits and break through
    No right, no wrong, no rules for me I'm free!

    Let it go, let it go
    I am one with the wind and sky
    Let it go, let it go
    You'll never see me cry!

    Here I stand
    And here I'll stay
    Let the storm rage on!

    My power flurries through the air into the ground
    My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
    And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
    I'm never going back,
    The past is in the past!

    Let it go, let it go
    When I'll rise like the break of dawn
    Let it go, let it go
    That perfect girl is gone!

    Here I stand
    In the light of day
    Let the storm rage on,
    The cold never bothered me anyway!

    Sweet is the Freedom by Flipper

    It really wasn't that long ago

    I always felt I had nowhere to go

    But now I see I have the need

    To not have to beg, borrow or plead

    Because the freedom is here, the freedom is now

    The freedom is here, it's here all around

    The freedom is you, the freedom is me

    And together we fight, we fight to be free

    ( guitar solo )

    Now I know freedom's nice sweet taste

    And together we see no need for haste,

    The road to freedom is found within

    And we use it fully till life's long end

    Because the freedom is here, the freedom is now

    The freedom is here, it's here all around

    The freedom is you, the freedom is me

    And together we fight, we fight to be free

    So now my life is much at peace

    I don't have to fight for my release,

    My freedom is here to calm my heart

    It always gives each day a start

    Because the freedom is here, the freedom is now

    The freedom is here, it's here all around,

    The freedom is you, the freedom is me

    And together we fight, we fight to be free

    ( Guitar solo and ending vocals humming )

    Rush - Faithless

    "I don't have faith in faith, I don't believe in belief, You can call me faithless."

    I've got my own moral compass to steer by
    A guiding star beats a spirit in the sky
    And all the preaching voices -
    Empty vessels ring so loud
    As they move among the crowd
    Fools and thieves are well disguised
    In the temple and market place

    Like a stone in the river
    Against the floods of spring
    I will quietly resist

    Like the willows in the wind
    Or the cliffs along the ocean
    I will quietly resist

    I don't have faith in faith
    I don't believe in belief
    You can call me faithless
    I still cling to hope
    And I believe in love
    And that's faith enough for me

    I've got my own spirit level for balance
    To tell if my choice is leaning up or down
    And all the shouting voices
    Try to throw me off my course
    Some by sermon, some by force
    Fools and thieves are dangerous
    In the temple and market place

    Like a forest bows to winter
    Beneath the deep white silence
    I will quietly resist

    Like a flower in the desert
    That only blooms at night
    I will quietly resist

    Rush- Brought Up 2 Believe

    "BU2B"

    I was brought up to believe
    The universe has a plan
    We are only human
    It's not ours to understand

    The universe has a plan
    All is for the best
    Some will be rewarded
    And the devil will take the rest

    All is for the best
    Believe in what we're told
    Blind men in the market
    Buying what we're sold

    Believe in what we're told
    Until our final breath
    While our loving Watchmaker
    Loves us all to death

    In a world of cut and thrust
    I was always taught to trust
    In a world where all must fail
    Heaven's justice will prevail

    The joy and pain that we receive
    Each comes with its own cost
    The price of what we're winning
    Is the same as what we've lost

    All is for the best
    Believe in what we're told
    Blind men in the market
    Buying what we're sold

    Believe in what we're told
    Until our final breath
    While our loving Watchmaker
    Loves us all to death

    Until our final breath
    The joy and pain that we receive
    Must be what we deserve
    I was brought up to believe

    Until our final breath
    The joy and pain that we receive
    Must be what we deserve
    I was brought up to believe

    All is for the best
    Believe in what we're told
    Blind men in the market
    Buying what we're sold

    Believe in what we're told
    Until our final breath
    While our loving Watchmaker
    Loves us all to

    Believe in what we're told
    Until our final breath
    While our loving Watchmaker
    Loves us all to
    Loves us all to death
