"Excuse me. This is my point with the brain. At the end of the day, you know, at the end of the day, anything, a benign object of any sort... you could take a cheeseburger and deconstruct it to it's source!"
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Cheeseburger!
Love meat!
I want to eat myself as the flesh of ancient gods!
What's the point of this? Where's the happiness we've been promised?
From sex and money? Fine.
Ooh, then I need to get myself some good drugs
Then when I get the money...ladies will all know that I'm the man
'Cause I ain't gonna be questioned for sex if I ain't livin' in poverty and I ain't got no disease
In fact you could say I was a logical choice!
Whoa! Just look at him, and look at her! Ha!
Running in the circles and then opening the bar!
Bar's closed boys, I'm an artist!
So, with art without heart,
We will never know the songs!
(We will never...we will never...)
With art, without heart...
We will never know! We will never know!
"It's just terrifying!
There's nothing but reality!
An Infinite void of nothing!
Where do we fit!?
Where's the lines?!
I can't even find my own mind!!!
I can't find!!!"
ENOUGH! I've had it up to here, and I am not afraid of fear!
ENOUGH! I've had it up to here,
...Just get it out of your system!
Show me...
So you'd love to run from pain?
So you've gone and you've closed off from god.
...Closed off from your true nature in 'I'.
Closed off from your own self!
Now, on the border of the broken chasm, the infamy of man was stretched along.
Beholding as they descend, and the reign of man is fleeting!
Enraptured in an illusion in which we all belong,
...And our purpose is acknowledgement of the void?!
Then void on me in waveforms!
"Did you ever had one of those... those days?"
shite A BRICK!
(I know, why I know why I know I am...)
(I know, why I know why I know I am...)
Waveforms of waveforms, vibration waveform, way of the waveforms of vibration.
'Here it comes... Show me!'
'Whoa! Good lord, it's a cheeseburger!!!'
'...A double!'
All beef patties, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun!
All beef patties, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun!
(Oh glorious cheeseburger...we bow to thee. The secrets of the universe are between the buns...)
All beef patties, pickles onions on a sesame seed bun
CHEESEBURGER!
"But I don't eat the cheeseburgers, motherfrickers, I'm a vegi-ma-tarian!"
Hit it!
"Did you say beer?"
Beer! Beer! Beer!
I would like to discuss something with you...
bullshite!
bullshite... bullshite... bullshite... bullshite... bullshite... bullshite... bullshite... bullshite...
It's all bullshite!
(Wanting 'I', wanting 'I'...)
Sorry, I'm sorry...
So the words are coming down in rainbows!
Slow burn, there's no cover!!!
Confused? I'm so ashamed!!!
There's water...Sew whey!
FIRE!
Clouds form over the rainbows over time!
"Oh we're not finished yet are we..?"
'Scuse me... ok... Go!
You're in God!
Take your time,
Take your time,
Enjoy the ride...
All we are!!!
I am free, how about you?

He gets hit on for simplistic lyrics at times, but Gavin Hayes is one of my favorites:
Quotes:
There's a way, a way to get out of here
To escape these storms and find some shelter
To rid of your darkness, to rid of your boredom
There's somewhere, somewhere that you can go
It's obvious, well it's apparent
It's right in front of you, so reach out and take it
And just let go
Our sobriety will diminish
Discriminate, we fade slow, fade slow
These drugs will expand us
United we will grow
Let go, let go
There's a way, a way to squash all of your fears
When everyone around you seems to be a stranger
You feel their eyes upon you, you're hearing their thoughts
As they walk away, the voice grows louder
Illusions illuminate
Why let illusions dictate your next move?
You're bound by deception, and a misled direction
So just let go
Our sobriety will diminish
Discriminate, we fade slow, fade slow
These drugs will expand us
United we will grow
Let go, let go
There's a way, a way out of here
There's a way, a way out of here
So just let go
Our sobriety we'll abandon
Discriminate, we fade slow, fade slow
These drugs will expand us
United we will grow
Let go, let go

One more, Regina Spektor:
All the Rowboats:
All the rowboats in the paintings
They keep trying to row away
And the captains' worried faces
Stay contorted and staring at the waves
They'll keep hanging in their gold frames
For forever, forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away
Hear them whispering French and German
Dutch, Italian, and Latin
When no one's looking I catch a sculpture marble,
Cold, and soft as satin
But the most special are the most lonely
God, I pity the violins
In glass coffins they keep coughing
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing, how to sing
First there's lights out, then there's lock up
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
It's their own fault for being timeless
There's a price you pay and a consequence
All the galleries, the museums
Here's your ticket, welcome to the tombs
They're just public mausoleums
The living dead fill every room
But the most special are the most lonely
God, I pity the violins
In glass coffins they keep coughing
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing
They will stay there in their gold frames
For forever, forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away
First there's lights out, then there's lock up
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
It's their own fault for being timeless
There's a price you pay and a consequence
All the galleries, the museums
They will stay there forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away

Definitely some good ones mentioned already. I haven't seend Ben Gibbard or Ray LaMontagne mentioned. I think they should be recognized. I think songwriting is more than just writing good lyrics, it's writing the music to go along with the lyrics that portray the emotions that come out of the words. Neither of these 2 are near my favorites to listen to, but I do respet their work when I listen to them from time to time.
