anthony green had some pretty interesting lyrics when he was still with saosin. they perch and translating the name being the two that i find the most thought provoking. jason devore (authority zero) at least in my opinion, has written some pretty good stuff. geoff rickly (thursday) is one of my favorite lyricists. im not really sure why. the way he writes just has something about it that gets me thinking.
