I've loved Daughtry's music since first hearing it. There aren't many songs of theirs I don't like, and all their lyrics have always called to me. Theirs is some of the music that can't always be understood, though, so I hadn't gotten the full impact of the lyrics and hadn't known what all of them were till just now, when I looked them up, looked through all of them. They all call to me. Some of them I can find a reasoning for, some I can't. The same with Blackmore's Night, too, which I think is one reason why I love their music so much. But...well, here. Have a lyric dump. 


All these Lives

Doesn't come down when she calls,
"It's time for breakfast."
Momma can't get down those halls
Fast enough to see
Glass is sprayed across the floor
From the broken window.
She can't breathe anymore.
Can't deny what we know.

They're gonna find you, just believe.
You're not a person; you're a disease.

Chorus:
All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
Broken homes from separation.
Don't you know it's violation?
It's so wrong, but you'll see.
Never gonna let you take my world from me.
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
But you ain't comin' in.
You ain't comin' in.

Posters hung on building walls
Of missing faces.
Months go by without the cause,
The clues, or traces.

They're gonna find you, just believe.
You're not a person, you're a disease.

(chorus)

Shed the light on all the ones who never thought they would become
A father, mother asking why this world can be so cold.

Doesn't come down when she calls,
"It's time for breakfast."
The memories begin to fall.
She asks, "When will I be free?"

(Chorus)

All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
But you ain't comin' in.

**The irony from this first song is that this one is the one that's most comforting to me, of all of Daughtry's songs.**
