Five Finger Death Punch - "American Capitalist"
American Capitalist - Lyrics
Five Finger Death Punch
I'm a red blooded
Rough neck
Son of a bitch
I'm a god damned
American capitalist
I've got a kill 'em all
Give a shit
License to hate
I'm that one shot
One kill
Bringer of pain
I don't wanna believe I'm empty
And I don't want to admit I'm wrong
I don't wanna regret who I've become
(When I'm)
I'm an American
Capitalist
American
Capitalist
Yeah war is the answer
Like I told you before
You're a coward
With no power
Just a stain on the floor
If you're a man
Be a man
Stop running your lips
Round three
No mercy
It's the way of the fist
I don't wanna believe I'm empty
And I don't want to admit I'm wrong
I don't wanna regret who I've become
(When I'm)
I'm an American
Capitalist
American
Capitalist
I don't wanna believe I'm empty
And I don't want to admit I'm wrong
I don't wanna regret who I've become
(When I'm)
I'm an American
I don't wanna believe I'm empty
And I don't want to admit I'm wrong
I don't wanna regret who I've become
(When I'm)
I'm an American
Capitalist
American
Capitalist

Godsmack - "I Stand Alone"
I Stand Alone - Lyrics
Godsmack
Now I've told you this once before
You can't control me
If you try to take me down you're gonna break
I feel your every nothing that you're doing for me
I'm picking you out of me
You run away
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
You're always hiding behind your so called goddess
So what you don't think that we can see your face
Resurrected back before the final fallen
Now they've arrest until I can make my own way
I'm not afraid of fading
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
And now its my time (now its my time)
It's my time to dream (my time to dream)
Dream of the sky (dream of the sky)
Make me believe that this place is inplagued
By the poison in me
Help me decide if my fire will burn out
Before you can breathe
Breathe into me
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside

Mudvayne - "Forget To Remember"
Forget to Remember - Lyrics
Mudvayne
What have I done?
Where have I come from?
When I burnt the backs
With the sun through a glass
Did I seal the loss
That's become me?
Feeling undone
What have I become?
When I turned my back on you
I turned my back on myself
And became this machine
Thoughtlessness
Selfishness
Hopelessness
Arrogant
I feel it on the inside
Twisting and contorting
Memory has shaped me once again
Still feel you on the inside
Biting through and stinging
Will I ever forget to remember?
Shadows in the sun
Filter through us
Still wrestle the demons
That arrested me as a child
Confession rejected
We grow up
To give up
People step on the cracks
For wounds owed paid back
Through the words of surrender
Emptiness
Loneliness
Listlessness
Worthless
I feel it on the inside
Twisting and contorting
Memory has shaped me once again
Still feel you on the inside
Biting through and stinging
Will I ever forget to remember?
Can you save me?
From myself
From these memories
Can you save me?
From myself
From these memories
Surrender
To the shadows
Haunting inside
Bleed through you
Surrender to the secretes, inside
Lies within you
I feel it on the inside
Twisting and contorting
Memory has shaped me once again
Still feel you on the inside
Biting through and stinging
Will I ever forget to remember?
Can't feel you on the inside
Set down the bag and left it
Lost memory has left me
One again
Open up the inside
Admission for the cleansing
Now that I've forgotten to remember
Surrender
To the shadows
Haunting inside
Bleed through you

Korn - "Thoughtless"
Thoughtless - Lyrics
Korn
Going through the pages of my fantasies
Pushing all the mercy down, down, down
I want to see you try to take a swing at me
Come on, gonna put you on the ground, ground, ground
Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny?
What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying when you're dirty in the front of me
All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming
Come and fill the pages of my fantasies
I'm above you, smiling at you, drown, drown, drown
I want to kill and rape you the way you raped me
And I'll pull the trigger
And you're down, down, down
Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny?
What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying when you're dirty in the front of me
All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming
All my friends are gone, they died (gonna take you down)
They all screamed, and cried (gonna take you down)
I got my monkey, got my monkey back against the wall
Gonna take you down
All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming
All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

Linkin Park - "Faint"
Faint - Lyrics
Linkin Park
I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored
I am, a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense
I am, what you never want to say, but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear me out
So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do
You face away and pretend I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored
You hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now, hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored
I can't feel
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored

Disturbed - "Open Your Eyes"
Open Your Eyes - Lyrics
Disturbed
You’re paralyzed with your disguise
You feed on the lies that they tell you
Got to break away from the numbing pain
So calm to the rage that’s inside you
You're hypnotized, demoralized
You'll need every lie that they sell you
Stop channelling, whatever will remains
To sort from what's fiction and what is dream
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won’t you open your eyes?
You've lost your sense from the emptiness
You do as the headlines compel you
Come home again and let the war begin
Destroy the veneeer that surrounds you
There’s no defense for your recklessness
You stare as the proof lies before you
Why can’t you see, are you afraid to be
Exposed to the demons around you?
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won’t you open your eyes?
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won’t you open your eyes?
You will now be running, in a world you cannot hide
Know the end is comin’ for the lamb that's standing in line
Overcoming, there's a fury built inside
It can all be broken, if you’d only open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won’t you open your eyes?
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
See through the disguise, won’t you open your eyes?

Five Finger Death Punch - "Jekyll and Hyde"
Jekyll and Hyde - Lyrics
Five Finger Death Punch
There's just so much goddamned weight on my shoulders
All I'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life
Supposed to be happy, but I'm only getting colder
Wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside
There's just so much goddamned weight on my shoulders
All I'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life
Supposed to be happy, but I'm only getting colder
Wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, just like Jekyll and Hyde
Oh, yo, yo, all this anger inside
Oh, yo, yo, I feel like Jekyll and Hyde
There's just so much goddamned weight on your shoulders
That you can't just live your motherfucking life
The story's getting old and my heart is getting colder
I just wanna be Jekyll, but I'm always fighting Hyde
You've got rocks in your head, I can hear them rolling 'round
You can say that you're above it, but you're always falling down
Is there a method to your madness, is it all about pride?
Everyone I know, they've got a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, just like Jekyll and Hyde
Oh, yo, yo, all this anger inside
Oh, yo, yo, I feel like Jekyll and Hyde
If I wasn't so deranged, could I ever face the pain?
If I ever want to change, would this all remain the same?
Oh, yo, yo
All I'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life
Oh, yo, yo
Wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo
All I'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life
Oh, yo, yo
Wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, just like Jekyll and Hyde
Oh, yo, yo, all this anger inside
Oh, yo, yo, I feel like Jekyll and Hyde

POD - "Alive"
P.O.D. Lyrics
"Alive"
Everyday is a new day
I’m thankful for every breath I take
I won’t take it for granted
So I learn from my mistakes
It’s beyond my control, sometimes it’s best to let go
Whatever happens in this lifetime
So I trust in love
You have given me peace of mind
chorus:
I feel so alive for the very first time
I can’t deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive for the very first time
And I think I can fly
Sunshine upon my face
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world how I feel inside
Even though it might cost me everything
Now that I know this, so beyond, I can’t hold this
I can never turn my back away
Now that I’ve seen you
I can never look away
[chorus]
[bridge:]
Now that I know you (I could never turn my back away)
Now that I see you (I could never look away)
Now that I know you (I could never turn my back away)
Now that I see you (I believe no matter what they say)
[chorus x 2]
Breaking Benjamin - "Failure"
Failure - Lyrics
Breaking Benjamin
Life will come our way,
It has only just begun.
The world will die alone
The frail will fall below.
Time will take our place.
We return it back to one
The calm before the cold,
The long and lonely road.
Look for the light that leads me home.
Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Failure.
Drive the cloud away,
We will fall from last to none.
The dark before the dawn,
The war will carry on.
Look for the light that leads me home.
Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Tired of wasting breath, tired of nothing left.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Failure.
Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Tired of wasting breath, tired of nothing left.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
We bury the sunlight (failure), we bury the sunlight (failure).
Failure! Failure.
We bury the sunlight (failure), we bury the sunlight (failure).
Failure! Failure.
Failure.

Bullet For My Valentine - "Your Betrayal"
Your Betrayal - Lyrics
Bullet for My Valentine
Am I going insane? (Insane)
My blood is boiling inside of my veins
An evil feeling attacks (attacks)
My body shaking there's no turning back
So take your eyes off the trigger
I'm not to blame if your world turns to black
As your eyes start to blister
There's just no hope for our final embrace
So here we are, I'm in your head
I'm in your heart
You were told to to run away
Soak the place and light the flame
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
I was told to stay away
Those two words I can't obey
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
Is it my turn to die?
My heart is pounding as I say goodbye
So now I dance in the flames
I love you crying and screaming my name
You said that we'd be forever
How could you kill me and lie to my face
Now that we can't be together
There's just no hope for our final embrace
So here we are, I'm in your head
I'm in your heart
You were told to run away
Soak the place and light the flame
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
I was told to stay away
Those two words I can't obey
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
Go
So here we are (so here we are, I'm in your head)
(I'm in your head)
I'm in your heart
You were told to to run away
Soak the place and light the flame
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal, your betrayal
I was told to stay away
Those two words I can't obey
Pay the price for your betrayal
Your betrayal

Mudvayne - "Happy?"
Happy? - Lyrics
Mudvayne
In this hole, that is me
The dead are rolling over
In this hole, thickening
Dirt shoveled over shoulders
I feel into me, so overwhelmed
All this pressures sent arising
My life overturned, unfair the despair
All these scars keep ripping open
Peel me, from the skin
Tear me, from the rind
Does it make you happy now?
Tear me, from the bone
Tear me, from myself
Are you feeling happy now?
In this hole, that is me
A life that's growing feeble
In this hole, so limiting
The sun that's settle darkens
Buried underneath, hands slip off the wheel
Internal pathways to contention
Peel me, from the skin
Tear me, from the rind
Does it make you happy now?
Tear me, from the bone
Tear me, from myself
Are you feeling happy now?
Happy?
Happy?
Are you feeling happy?
In this hole, that is me
Left with a heart exhausted
What's my release what sets me free
Do you pull me up just to push me down again
Peel me, from the skin
Tear me, from the rind
Does it make you happy now?
Tear me, from the bone
Tear me, from myself
Are you feeling happy now?
Peel me, from the skin
Tear me, from the rind
Does it make you happy now?
Tear me, from the bone
Tear me, from myself
Are you feeling happy now?
Does it make you happy?
Are you feeling happy?
Are you fucking happy now that I'm lost left with nothing
Does it make you happy?
Are you feeling happy?
Are you fucking happy now that I'm lost left with nothing

Mental Effect of Music
According to arguments established through various research studies, music improves physical performance through a couple of ways. This impact is all to the benefit of the fitness enthusiasts, which explains why people perform better with music.
Distraction – the body’s performance capability decreases with time as fatigue kicks in. However, some good music will take away the focus on fatigue through distraction. The fitness enthusiast will not focus on the pain and exhaustion caused by extreme workouts and will be kept on the move. Whether you are running, lifting weights, cycling or doing any other physical activity, you will note that the results will be better.
Increased energy – a playlist with high-energy songs works miracles when it comes to exercise. Some athletes have said that certain music is like an energy drink, and they cannot explain how it works. The music will increase the heart and brain coordination, boosting the whole body to have a rejuvenated energy that never ends as long as the music is playing.
Boosting hormones – even listening to music without exercising can boost your energy. Music has the capability to trigger the release of some of the hormones people need to continue exercising. Some of them are responsible for high metabolism, which further enhances the workout performance. A positive and happy mood also encourages athletes to work out more.
