Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIRNdveLnJI
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
So unsure but it seems, cause we’ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
Arrived too early
And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far
I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I’m much too young to fall)
So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind
Gave me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life
I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
Take me back inside when the time is right
Loved ones back home all crying cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken; I’m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)
(Guitar solo)
I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
Take me back inside when the time is right.

Fireflies - Owl City
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psuRGfAaju4
You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep Cause they fill the open air And leave teardrops 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 lightening 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. 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 To ten million fireflies. I'm weird, cause I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they 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. 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.) 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
