May I - Trading Yesterday

There you stand, opened heart, opened doors
Full of life with a world that's wanting more
But I can see when the lights start to fade
The day is done and your smile has gone away

Let me raise you up
Let me be your love

May I hold you as you fall to sleep?
When the world is closing in
And you can't breathe here
May I love you, may I be your shield?
When no one can be found
May I lay you down?

All I want is to keep you safe from the cold
To give you all that your heart needs the most

Let me raise you up
Let me be your love

May I hold you as you fall to sleep?
When the world is closing in
And you can't breathe here
May I love you, may I be your shield?
When no one can be found
May I lay you down?

All that's made me, is all worth trading
Just to have one moment with you
So I will let go with all that I know
Knowing that you're here with me
For your love is changing me

May I hold you as you fall to sleep?
When the world is closing in
And you can't breathe
May I love you, may I be your shield?
When no one can be found
May I lay you down?

Under my skin - Trading Yesterday

Shadow days come to haunt me here to wrap around me
Dark and cold to hide the sunlight from my eyes
I cannot see far beyond these clouds surrounding
I will not forget that this is not the end

Under my skin, under these scars
Take me again, tear me apart
Cause I want to see everything you are
'Til all that's left is not myself

This is life, every second here, gripping tighter
Empty praise to all the things I fear inside
But I know that you will rise up from these ashes
Tomorrow will be the light that guides me

Under my skin, under these scars
Take me again, tear me apart
Cause I want to see everything you are
'Til all that's left is not myself

Take away everything
Burn away all of me
As I break I believe
You will come to rescue

Under my skin, under these scars
Take me again, tear me apart
Cause I want to see everything you are
'Til all that's left is not myself

Under my skin, under these scars
Take me again, tear me apart
Cause I want to see everything you are
'Til all that's left is not myself

As I break I believe
You will come to rescue

My last goodbye - Trading Yesterday

I've got to walk away
While there's still hope
Learn to erase
The love I know
And let you go

Cause what I thought was love
Was only lies
Taking what you want
Left me behind
As my heart dies

So here we are again
Knowing this will never end
So I must let go

This is my last goodbye
Leaving all the memories of you behind
I will not wait here
And waste my whole life
And waste my whole life

I can see you now
With opened eyes
When you come around
And realize
That I don't need you to survive

I will not begin
A fight that we can never win
So I'm letting go

This is my last goodbye
Leaving all the memories of you behind
I will not wait here
And waste my whole life
And waste my whole life

My passion, my poison
The life and death of me
I can't take you taking everything
From a love never meant to be

This is my last goodbye
Leaving all the memories of you behind
I will not wait here
And waste my whole life

This is my last goodbye
This will be the final tear for love to die
I will not wait here
And waste my whole life
With my last goodbye
With my last goodbye

I see fire - Ed Sheeran

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's son

If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Calling out father, oh, stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side

And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Calling out father, oh
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn over
The mountain side

Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

Oh, should my people fall in
Surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame
Calling out father, oh
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side

Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
And I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns then
My brothers will die
And as the sky is falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
And I see fire
Blood in the breeze

I see fire
Oh, you know I saw a city burning, fire
And I see fire
Feel the heat upon my skin, fire
And I see fire, fire
And I see fire burn auburn on
The mountain side

Vindicated - Dashboard Confessional

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing
So hypnotizing
I am captivated

I am vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated
So motivated
I am certain now that

I am vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

So turn up
The corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away

Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption

It's time - Imagine Dragons

So this is what you meant
When you said that you were spent
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit
Right to the top
Don't hold back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain-check

I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever wanna leave this town
Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger
But then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

So this is where you fell
And I am left to sell
The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell
Right to the top
Don't look back
Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain-check

I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever wanna leave this town
Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger
But then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger
But then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

This road never looked so lonely
This house doesn't burn down slowly
To ashes, to ashes

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger
But then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger
But then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am

Hear me - Imagine Dragons

Try to hear my voice
You can leave, now it's your choice

Maybe if I fall asleep, I won't breathe right
Maybe if I leave tonight, I won't come back

I said it before, I won't say it again
Love is a game to you, it's not pretend
Maybe if I fall asleep, I won't breathe right

Can nobody hear me?
I got a lot that's on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it, too?

You kiss and you kiss
And you love and you love
You got a history list and the rest is above
And if you're warm, then you can't relate to me

From the floor to the floor
And the sky to the sky
You've got to love and adore and the rest is awry
And if you're warm, then you can't relate to me

I said it before, I won't say it again
Love is a game to you, it's not pretend
Maybe if I fall asleep, I won't breathe right, right, right

Can nobody hear me?
I got a lot that's on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it, too?

Leave your shoes at the door, baby
I am all you adore, lately
Come with me and we will run away

Can nobody hear me?
I got a lot that's on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it, too?

Can nobody hear me?
I got a lot that's on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it, too?

The river - Imagine Dragons

In the latest midnight hour
When the world has gone to sleep
You gotta get up

When doubts begin to rise
And the world is at your feet
You gotta get up

Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
For anyone but myself

I'm not a selfless man
I'm not a man of wealth
If I had all the world
Probably give it to myself
But the trees begin to walk
And the ground begins to talk
And myself

Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
For anyone but myself

Hold my place
Don't you give up on me
Hold on
Hold on

Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
For anyone but myself

Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else

Bleeding out - Imagine Dragons

I’m bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is bring you down
I’ll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out for you, for you

When the day has come
That I’ve lost my way around
And the seasons stop
And hide beneath the ground
When the sky turns gray
And everything is screaming
I will reach inside
Just to find my heart is beating

Oh, you tell me to hold on
Oh, you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong

Cause I’m bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I’ll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out for you, for you

When the hour is nigh
And hopelessness is sinking in
And the wolves all cry
To fill the night with hollering
When your eyes are red
And emptiness is all you know
With the darkness fed
I will be your scarecrow

You tell me to hold on
Oh, you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong

Cause I’m bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I’ll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out for you, for you

I’m bleeding out for you, for you
I’m bleeding out for you, for you
I’m bleeding out for you, for you
I’m bleeding out for you

Cause I’m bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I’ll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out for you, for you

Liar - Emilie Autumn

I want to hold you to the sun
I want to be your faithful one
I want to show you all the beauty
You don't even know you hold
I'm hurting you for your own good
I'd die for you, you know I would
I'd give up all my wealth
To buy you back the soul you never sold

I want to mix our blood
And put it in the ground
So you can never leave
I want to earn your trust
Your faith, your heart
You'll never be deceived

Liar, liar, liar, liar

I want to heal you pretty sweet
I'll throw rose petals at your feet
I'll spend eternity
Comparing all my poetry to yours
I want to see love through your eyes
You'll never have to compromise
I'd give up all my fame
To fight your demons and your bloody wars

I want to mix our blood
And put it in the ground
So you can never leave
I want to earn your trust
Your faith, your heart
You'll never be deceived

Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar

Are you suffering?

Hope that you found it now - Jason Walker

What was it that got broken inside of you
That sent you off searching down empty avenues?
Rooms cold and smoky that you stumbled through
Looking for a little truth somehow

I hope you found it now
I hope you found it now

And what was it inside you that love never satisfied?
The thin thread that held you, how did it come untied?
The grace you only ran from, the bridges that you burned
The peace of mind you learned to live without

I hope you found it now
I hope you found it now

The burdens that you carry and all of your mistakes
You're looking for a place to lay them down

And I hope you found it now
I hope you found it now
I hope you found it now
I hope you found it now
I hope you found it now

Shouldn't be a good in goodbye - Jason Walker

After the silence
And after the last words
Caught in the silence
Caught in between
After the madness
And after the slow shock
Before the wave hits
The flood comes rushing in

This is the bad before the worse
This is the storm before the storm
And I haven't even hit the bottom of this ocean floor
This is the bend before the break
This is the mercy, not the grace
This is the proof and not the faith I try to find
There shouldn't be a good in goodbye

If I never loved you
If I never felt your kiss
If I never had you
I know that I
I still would have mourned you
And I would have missed your smile
If it wasn't so worth it
This wouldn't be
Oh, this wouldn't be

The bad before the worse
And the storm before the storm
And I haven't even hit the bottom of this ocean floor
This is the bend before the break
This is the mercy, not the grace
This is the proof and not the faith I try to find
There shouldn't be a good in goodbye

I know this is gonna get better
I know this is gonna get better
I know

This is the bitter not the sweet
This is the take and not the keep
And I haven't even reached the bottom of this ocean floor
This is the bend before the break
This is the mercy, not the grace
This is the proof and not the faith I try to find
There shouldn't be a good in goodbye
Yeah, there shouldn't be good in goodbye

There shouldn't be a good in goodbye

Kiss me - Jason Walker

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
I wear those shoes and you will wear that dress

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
And strike up the band
And make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing, swing upon it's hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
And strike up the band
And make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
So kiss me

Kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
And strike up the band
And make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling

Kiss me, oh, beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
And strike up the band
And make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

So kiss me

Everybody lies - Jason Walker

We do what we have to
When we fall in love
We say what we need to get out
When it's not enough
Whether it's to yourself
Or looking at someone else

Everybody lies, lies, lies
It's the only truth sometimes
Doesn't matter if it's out there
Somewhere waiting for the world to find
Or buried deep inside
Everybody lies

Just being honest
We're playing for both sides
It's easy to deceive
But it's hard when the trust that's broken is mine
For better, or for worse
For the happy, for the hurt

Everybody lies, lies, lies
It's the only truth sometimes
Doesn't matter if it's out there
Somewhere waiting for the world to find
Or buried deep inside
Yeah, everybody lies
Everybody lies

Everybody lives
And everybody dies
Oh, it doesn't matter if it's out there
Somewhere waiting for the world to find
Or buried deep inside
Or buried deep inside
Everybody lies

Get home - Bastille

How am I gonna get myself back home?
How am I gonna get myself back home?

We are the last people standing
At the end of the night
We are the greatest pretenders
In the cold morning light

This is just another night
And we've had many of them
To the morning we're cast out
But I know I'll land here again

How am I gonna get myself back home?
How am I gonna get myself back home?

There is a light in the bedroom
But it's dark
Scattered around on the floor
All my thoughts

This is just another night
And we've had many of them
To the morning we're cast out
But I know I'll land here again

How am I gonna get myself back home?
How am I gonna get myself back home?

The birds are mocking me
They call to be heard
The birds are mocking me
They curse my return

How am I gonna get myself back home?
How am I gonna get myself back home?

How am I gonna get myself back home?
How am I gonna get myself back home?
I'm lost

Icarus - Bastille

Look who's digging their own grave
That is what they all say
You'll drink yourself to death

Look who makes their own bed
Lies right down within it
And what will you have left?

Out on the front doorstep
Drinking from a paper cup
You won't remember this

Living beyond your years
Acting out all their fears
You feel it in your chest

Your hands protect the flames
From the wild winds around you

Icarus is flying too close to the sun
And Icarus's life, it has only just begun
It's just begun

Standing on the cliff face
Highest foe you'll ever grace
It scares me half to death

Look out to the future
But it tells you nothing
So take another breath

Your hands protect the flames
From the wild winds around you

Icarus is flying too close to the sun
And Icarus's life, it has only just begun
And this is how it feels to take a fall
Icarus is flying towards an early grave

You put up your defenses when you leave
You leave because you're certain
Of who you want to be

You're putting up your armor when you leave
And you leave because you're certain
Of who you want to be

Icarus is flying too close to the sun
And Icarus's life, it has only just begun
And this is how it feels to take a fall
Icarus is flying towards an early grave

Skyfall - Adele

This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again

For this is the end
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away, I'm stolen

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall
That skyfall

Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are dark
You may have my number
You can take my name
But you'll never have my heart

Let the sky fall (Let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (When it crumbles)
We will stand tall (We will stand tall)
Face it all together

Let the sky fall (Let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (When it crumbles)
We will stand tall (We will stand tall)
Face it all together
At skyfall

(Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall)

(Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall)


Where you go I go
What you see I see
I know I'd never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we'll stand

Let the sky fall (Let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (When it crumbles)
We will stand tall (We will stand tall)
Face it all together

Let the sky fall (Let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (When it crumbles)
We will stand tall (We will stand tall)
Face it all together
At skyfall

Let the sky fall
We will stand tall
At skyfall

Flaws - Bastille

When all of your flaws and all of my flaws
Are laid out one by one
A wonderful part of the mess that we made
We pick ourselves undone

All of your flaws and all of my flaws
They lie there hand in hand
Ones we've inherited, ones that we learned
They pass from man to man

There's a hole in my soul
I can't fill it, I can't fill it
There's a hole in my soul
Can you fill it? Can you fill it?

You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve
And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground
Dig them up, let's finish what we've started
Dig them up so nothing's left unturned

All of your flaws and all of my flaws
When they have been exhumed
We'll see that we need them to be who we are
Without them we'd be doomed

There's a hole in my soul
I can't fill it, I can't fill it
There's a hole in my soul
Can you fill it? Can you fill it?

You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve
And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground
Dig them up, let's finish what we've started
Dig them up so nothing's left unturned

When all of your flaws
And all of my flaws are counted
When all of your flaws
And all of my flaws are counted

You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve
And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground
Dig them up, let's finish what we've started
Dig them up so nothing's left unturned

All of your flaws and all of my flaws
Are laid out one by one
Look at the wonderful mess that we made
We pick ourselves undone

The things we lost in the fire - Bastille

Things we lost to the flames
Things we'll never see again
All that we've amassed
Sits before us, shattered into ash

These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

We sat and made a list
Of all the things that we had
Down the backs of table tops
Ticket stubs and your diaries

I read them all one day
When loneliness came and you were away
Oh, they told me nothing new
But I love to read the words you used

These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

I was the match and you were the rock
Maybe we started this fire
We sat apart and watched
All we had burned on the pyre

You said we were born with nothing
And we sure as hell have nothing now
You said we were born with nothing
And we sure as hell have nothing now

These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

Do you understand that we will never be the same again?
Do you understand that we will never be the same again?
The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again
The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again

These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

These are the things, the things we lost
These are the things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

Flames, they licked the walls
Tenderly they turned to dust all that I adore

Stay - Jakwob

Stay now
I know we’re safe now
Thunder and rain clouds are drifting away
Home comes soon

You could go
But then you would have to try and fight the cold
All by yourself

You could leave
But you know deep down
Your heart is still with me
The clouds will clear in time

Stay now
I know we’re safe now
Thunder and rain clouds are drifting away
Home comes soon

You might think that the rain will cleanse you
Drown your worries and wash your fears away
But the grey skies will all soon turn blue
And tomorrow will be a brighter day

You might think that the rain will cleanse you
Drown your worries and wash your fears away
But the grey skies will all soon turn blue
And tomorrow will be a brighter day

Stay

You might think that the rain will cleanse you
Drown your worries and wash your fears away
But the grey skies will all soon turn blue
And tomorrow will be a brighter day

You might think that the rain will cleanse you
Drown your worries and wash your fears away
But the grey skies will all soon turn blue
And tomorrow will be a brighter day

Stay now
I know we’re safe now
Thunder and rain clouds are drifting away
Home comes soon

Closer - Nine Inch Nails

You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you

Help me, I broke apart my insides
Help me, I’ve got no soul to sell
Help me, the only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal

My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god

You can have my isolation
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
You can have my everything

Help me tear down my reason
Help me, it’s your sex I can smell
Help me, you make me perfect
Help me become somebody else

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal

My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god

Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
You are the reason I stay alive

Mr. Brightside - The Killers

I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down
Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag

Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go

And I just can’t look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cause I’m Mr. Brightside

I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down
Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag

Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go

Cause I just can’t look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cause I’m Mr. Brightside

I never
I never
I never
I never

Bling (Confession of a king) - The Killers

When I offer you survival
You say it's hard enough to live
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
How do you know that you're right?

I awoke on the roadside
In the land of the free ride
And I can't pull it any longer
The sun is beating down my neck

So I ran with the devil
Left a trail of excuses
Like a stone on the water
The elements decide my fate
Watch it go "bling"

When I offer you survival
You say it's hard enough to live
Don't tell me that it's over
Stand up
Poor and tired
But more than this

How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore
It's not so bad, it's not so bad

I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus
But I'm pushing on for that horizon
I'm pushing on
Now I've got that blowing wind against my face

So you sling rocks at the rip tide
Am I wrong or am I right?
I hit the bottom with a "huh"
Quite strange
I get my glory in the desert rain
Watch it go "bling"

I offer you survival
You say it's hard enough to live
And I'll tell you when it's over
Shut up poor and tired
But more than this

How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore
It's not so bad, it's not so bad

Higher and higher
We're gonna take it
Down to the wire
We're gonna make it
Out of the fire
Higher and higher

Higher and higher
We're gonna take it
Down to the wire
We're gonna make it
Out of the fire
Higher and higher

Higher and higher
We're gonna take it
Down to the wire
We're gonna make it out
Higher and higher

It ain't hard to hold
When it shines like gold
You'll remember me

Bones - The Killers

Come with me

We took a back road
We're gonna look at the stars
We took a back road in my car
Down to the ocean
It’s only water and sand
And in the ocean we'll hold hands

But I don't really like you
Apologetically dressed in the best
But on a heartbeat glide

Without an answer
The thunder speaks for the sky
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry

Don’t you wanna come with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural

A cinematic vision ensued
Like the holiest dream
It's someone's calling?
An angel whispers my name
But the message relayed is the same
“Wait till tomorrow, you'll be fine"
But it's gone to the dogs in my mind
I always hear them
When the dead of night
Comes calling to save me from this fight
But they can never wrong this right

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural

Don’t you wanna swim with me?
Don’t you wanna feel my skin
On your skin?
It's only natural

Never had a lover
I never had a lover
Never had soul
I never had soul
Never had a good time
And I never had a good time
Never got cold
I never got gold

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural

Don't you wanna swim with me?
Don't you wanna feel my skin
On your skin?
It's only natural

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It’s only natural

Come and take a swim with me
Don't you wanna feel my skin
On your skin?
It’s only natural

When you were young - The Killers

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young

Can we climb this mountain?
I don’t know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
You don’t have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
Talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young

I said he doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

Durban skies - Bastille

All that I've got to be thankful for
All that I've got to be thankful for
In the heat, try to love these streets

In this town, it all went down
Our chromosomes in sepia tones
In my mind, in my mind

Where you lead your lives
Before from our small island
Brought right back to these shores
To these shores, to these shores

It’s alive, it’s alive
When I see it through your eyes
It’s alive, it’s alive
Now I understand your lives

When you take me there
You show me the city
I see it through your eyes
When you take me there
We drive through the city
Beneath the Durban skies

All that I've got to be thankful for

On the day you made your vows
The heaven’s opened, rain poured down
It poured down
Down, down

Grey and brown, the seventies
It suits you wore, and the ones you loved
Were so young, were so young
Lord, you were so young

It’s alive, it’s alive
When I see it through your eyes
It’s alive, it’s alive
Now I understand your lives

When you take me there
You show me the city
I see it through your eyes
When you take me there
We drive through the city
Beneath the Durban skies

All that I've got to be thankful for
Oh, all that I've got to be thankful for
All that I've got to be thankful for

It’s alive, it’s alive
When I see it through your eyes
It’s alive, it’s alive
Now I understand your lives

When you take me there
You show me the city
I see it through your eyes
When you take me there
We drive through the city
Beneath the Durban skies

When you take me there
When you take me there
When you take me there
It’s alive, it’s alive
When you take me there
It's alive, it's alive

Pala - Friendly Fires

See a crack in the sky
Catch the sun as it folds
Swim the waves in your eyes
Keeps me rushing
Rushing out to shore

Found a place in the scion
A place we live and you don't
As we float from a wealth that’s breathless
No one’s frightened anymore

And we couldn't care
If we die here, die here
And we couldn't care
If they flick the switch
And took the rest of this

In Pala, in Pala
In Pala, in Pala

See the flash in the dark
Breathe the rest of your sigh
Hold the rush of a life
Keep me coming
Coming back for more

You feel the lust of a lion
The one who runs at you cold
When you start with a look that's endless
Pits me up against the wall

And we couldn't care
If we die here, die here
And we couldn't care
If they flick the switch
And took the rest of this

In Pala, in Pala
In Pala, in Pala

It's so quiet here
Breathing life up here

In Pala, in Pala
In Pala, in Pala

Let go - Frou Frou

Drink up, baby doll
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
Cause it's all going off without you
Excuse me, too busy
You're writing your tragedy
These mishaps
You bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like

So let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's all right
Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So let go, let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

It gains the more it gives
And then it rises with the fall
So hand me that remote
Can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow?
Such boundless pleasure
We've no time for later
Now you can't await
Your own arrival
You've twenty seconds to comply

So let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's alright
Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, yeah, let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here

Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

So let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's alright
Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So let go, yeah, let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

In the breakdown
Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
The breakdown

So amazing here
Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

Disappear - Mikky Ekko

Every time I close my eyes
I feel I cannot turn back
Every time I close my eyes
I want to fall back into you

So long, fresh breath of innocence
So long to the life we used to know
Cause every time I close my eyes
I want to disappear with you
And I hope you want to disappear too

Stay and come out of the rain
Colder as the years go
Warm yourself again
Yeah, low, the sun is sinking
Colder as the years go on
Oh, on yourself again

So long, fresh breath of innocence
So long to the life we used to know
Cause every time I close my eyes
I want to disappear with you
And I hope you want to disappear too

I hope you want to disappear too
I hope you want to disappear

Every time I close my eyes
Every time I close my eyes
I want to disappear with you
And I hope you want to disappear too

I hope you want to disappear too
I hope you want to disappear

No rest - Dry The River

I used to be a king alone
Like Solomon or Rehoboam
And in the eaves, the Corvidae
Did jealous keep my picture frames?
And everything did oxidate in place

But then you came, a single cell
With astrolabe and carousel
And algebra and symmetry
And none of this was lost on me
And I could see how still I’d been before

If I don’t eat, I don’t sleep at all
Like limbs in procession
Like so many birds
Stampeding like oxen
Our hearts are a herd

I loved you in the best
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best

Did you see the light in my heart?
Did you see the sweat on my brow?
Did you see the fear in my heart?
Did you see me bleeding it out?

I loved you in the best
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best way possible
I loved you in the best

Start of time - Gabrielle Aplin

Oh, today I'm just a drop of water
And I'm running down a mountainside
Come tomorrow I'll be in the ocean
I'll be rising with the morning tide

There's a ghost upon the moor tonight
Now it's in our house
When you walked into the room just then
It's like the sun came out

I'm an atom in a sea of nothing
Looking for another to combine
Maybe we could be the start of something
Be together at the start of time

There's a ghost upon the moor tonight
Now it's in our house
When you walked into the room just then
It's like the sun came out
It's like the sun came out

And the day is clear
My voice is just a whisper
Louder than the screams you hear

It's like the sun came out
It's like the sun came out
It's like the sun came out
It's like the sun came out
It's like the sun came out
It's like the sun came out
It's like the sun came out
It's like the sun came out
It's like the sun came out
It's like the sun came out
It's like the sun came out
It's like the sun came out

Breathe me - Aiden Grimshaw

Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And the worst part is there's no one else to blame

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me, I am small
I'm needy, warm me up
And breathe me

Ouch, I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found
Yeah, I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me, I am small
I'm needy, warm me up
And breathe

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me, I am small
I'm needy, warm me up
And breathe me

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me, I am small
I'm needy, warm me up

Academia - Sia

You can be my alphabet and I will be your calculator
And together we'll work out on the escalator
I will time you as you run up the down
And you'll measure my footsteps as I pleasure this town
The mean of our heights is divided by the nights
Which is times'd by the daggers and the root of all our fights
The pass of your poem is to swathe me in your knowing
And the beauty of the word is that you don't have to show it

Oh, academia, you can't pick me up
Soothe me with your words when I need your love

I am a dash and you are a dot
When will you see that I am all that you've got?
I'm a binary code that you cracked long ago
But to you I'm just a novel that you wish you'd never wrote
I'm greater than x and lesser than y, so why is it
That I still can't catch your eye?
You're a cryptic crossword, a song I've never heard
While I sit here drawing circles I'm afraid of being hurt

Oh, academia, you can't pick me up
Soothe me with your words when I need your love

You're a difficult equation with a knack for heart evasion
Will you listen to my proof or will you add another page on?
It appears to me the graph has come and stolen all the laughs
It appears to me the pen has over analysed again
And if I am a number I'm infinity plus one
And if you are five words you are afraid to be the one
And if you are a number you're infinity plus one
And if I am four words then I am needing all your love

Oh, academia, you can't pick me up
Soothe me with your words when I need your love

Oh, academia, academia, academia
Oh, academia, academia, academia

Over - Evans Blue

You better crawl on your knees
The next time you say that you love me
Fall on your knees
Cause this time I won't be so kind
Can't you see that this is life and life is killing me?
Is it yours? Is it mine?
Our sky fell down tonight
To wash away our pain

Tell me, over and over and over and over and over again
It never was the time for us, it never was the time to let me in
Show me, over and over and over and over and over again
It never was the time for us, it never was the time to let me in

You better see how evil you can be
When you see my evil smile
It's the one that you'll remember
When I am not so kind
Can't you see that this is death and death is saving me?
I say burn all your bridges
While you still have control of the flame
I know it's hard, but you

Tell me, over and over and over and over and over again
It never was the time for us, it never was the time to let me in
Show me, over and over and over and over and over again
It never was the time for us, it never was the time to let me in

You've hardened to the point
You're hard and to the point

Tell me, over and over and over and over and over again
It never was the time for us, it never was the time to let me in
Show me, over and over and over and over and over again
It never was the time for us, it never was the time to let me in

Tell me, over and over and over and over and over again
It never was the time for us, it never was the time to let me in

Broken pieces - Apocalyptica feat. Lacey Sturm

Too late, this is not the answer
I need to pack it in
I can't pull your heart together
With just my voice alone
A thousand shards of glass
I came to meet you in
You cut the peace out of me

And as you ripped it all apart
That's when I turned to watch you
And as the light in you went dark
I saw you turn to shadow
If you would salvage some part of you that once knew love
But I'm losing this
And I'm losing you

Oh, I've gotta turn and run
From faces that you never see
Oh, I've gotta save my blood
From all that you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me

It's too late now to stop the process
This was your choice, you let it in
This double life you lead is eating you up from within
A thousand shards of glass
You pushed beneath my skin
And left me lying there to bleed

And as you showed me your scars
I only held you closer
But as the light in you went dark
I saw you turn over
I wanted always to be there for you and close to you
But I'm losing this
And I'm losing you

Oh, I've gotta turn and run
From faces that you never see
Oh, I've gotta save my blood
From all that you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me

The broken pieces
Pack up these pieces of me
The broken pieces
Pack up these pieces

Maybe without me
You'll return to all the beauty I once knew
But if I stay I know
We will both be drowned
By you holding onto me

Oh, I've gotta turn and run
From faces that you never see
Oh, I've gotta save my blood
From all that you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me

The broken pieces
Pack up these pieces of me
The broken pieces
Pack up these pieces of me

S.O.S. (Anything but love) - Apocalyptica feat. Cristina Scabbia

Bound to your side
I'm trapped in silence
Just a possession
Is it sex or only violence
That feeds your obsession?

You send me to a broken state
Where I can take the pain just long enough
Then I am numb
Then I just disappear

So go on, infect me
Go on and scare me to death
Tell me I asked for it
Tell me I'll never forget
You could give me anything but love
Anything but love

Does it feel good to deny?
Hurt me with nothing
Some sort of sick satisfaction
You get from my fucking

Oh, stripped down to my naked core
The darkest corners of my mind are yours
That's where you live
That's where you breathe

So go on, infect me
Go on and scare me to death
Dare me to leave you
Tell me I'd never forget
You could give me anything but love
Anything but love

Without any faith
Without any light
Condemn me to live
Condemn me to lie
Inside I am dead

So go on, infect me
Go on and scare me to death
I'll be the victim
You'll be the voice in my head
You could give me anything but love
Anything but love
Anything but love
Anything but love

Tears and rain - James Blunt

How I wish I could surrender my soul
Shed the clothes that become my skin
See the liar that burns within my needing
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold
How I wish I had screamed out loud
Instead I've found no meaning

I guess it's time I run far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say
But I'm not here for trouble
It's more than just words
It's just tears and rain

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind
Hold memory close at hand
Help me understand the years
How I wish I could choose between heaven and hell
How I wish I would save my soul
I'm so cold from fear

I guess it's time I run far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say
But I'm not here for trouble

Far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words
It's just tears and rain

Tears and rain
Tears and rain

Far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same
It just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words
It's just tears and rain

Your ex-lover is dead - Stars

“When there is nothing left to burn
You have to set yourself on fire”


God that was strange, to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said, “Yes I think we've met before”
In that instant it started to pour
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep, but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love

Live through this, and you won't look back
Live through this, and you won't look back
Live through this, and you won't look back

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

So far gone - James Blunt

Tell me the wars you're fighting
Behind the smile you're hiding
All of the things I know you want to say

We tried our best to find us
But there are no lights to guide us
I can't sleep beside a stranger now

Piece by piece we fall apart
With every beat slows down my heart

So I'll just say what you won't say
And I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
No turning back on what you can't save
So far gone
Yeah, we're so far gone

I've tried hard to remember
This prison cell used to be a shelter
Now we're just looking for the best way out

And I can't fight you anymore
You're already one foot out the door

So I'll just say what you won't say
And I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
No turning back on what you can't save
So far gone
Yeah, we're so far gone

And this is the face of letting go
And these are things we already know

So I'll say what you won't say
And I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
No turning back on what you can't save
So far gone
We're so far gone

So I'll say what you won't say
And I'll take the blame if it is for your sake
No turning back on what you can't save
So far gone
Yeah, we're so far gone
Yeah, we're so far gone
So I'll just what you won't say

No tears - James Blunt

Don't I know it?
Nobody has to say
I've been lucky
Guess I was born that way
I thank my father
His absence has made me strong
And I love my mother
But she had troubles with God

No tears for the life that you've led
You've had angels in your head
Did you hear them singing in the end?
All the things that you've seen
All the things that could have been
Well, I've been everything I want to be
So, no tears, no tears for me

Yeah, I've bathed in sunshine
But cherished the fading light
And I heard my heartbeat
Falter on a winter's night
I loved a woman
But she didn't hear my prayers
So Lord, oh Lord, I'm yours

No tears for the life that you've led
You've had angels in your head
Did you hear them singing in the end?
All the things that you've seen
All the things that could have been
Well, I've been everything I want to be
So, no tears, no tears

Cause someone somewhere is going home tonight
Trying to understand the sacrifice
So save your tears for those left behind

No tears for the life that you've led
You've had angels in your head
Did you hear them singing in the end?
All the things that you've seen
All the things that could have been
Well, I've been everything I want to be
So, no tears, no tears
No tears for me

I lived - OneRepublic

Hope when you take that jump
You don't fear the fall
Hope when the water rises
You build a wall

Hope when the crowd screams out
They're screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay

Hope that you fall in love
And it hurts so bad
The only way you can know
Is give it all you have

And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
Hope when the moment comes
You'll say

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived

Hope that you spend your days
But they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup

I wish that I could witness
All your joy and all your pain
But until my moment comes
I'll say

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived

With every broken bone
I swear I lived
With every broken bone
I swear I

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived

I swear I lived

Make the world go round - LidoLido

Rock with me if you live your life
Rock with me if you live your life

I’ve had a long day, long day, long week
All work, no play, no sleep
My boss keep dumping everything on me

Bones - James Blunt

I have never been a beautiful boy
Never liked the sound of my own voice
I wasn't cool when I was in my teens
I never slept, but I did have dreams
As I step out in this big old world
Seven billion just trying to cope
And everyone of us someday will die
But today I never felt more alive

Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it, feel it, feel it?

Running through your bones
Running through your bones
Yeah, you set my heart on fire
And it's all hot wired to my bones

I can count all the things I fear
I close my eyes, but they don't disappear
If there's a god then there's a guarantee
But if there's not, it's just you and me

Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it, feel it, feel it?

Running through your bones
Running through your bones
Yeah, you set my heart on fire
And it's all hot wired to my bones

So kiss me before the sun falls down
Run before your legs give way
Swallow it until you drown

Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it, feel it, feel it?

Running through your bones
Running through your bones
Yeah, you set my heart on fire and
And it's all hot wired to my bones

Running through my bones
Yeah, you set my heart on fire
And it's all hot wired to my bones
Running through my bones
Running through my bones

The only one - James Blunt

Did all the words I never said
Hurt as bad as those I did?
You know I never even cared not before you
If I could go and turn back time
If I could only press rewind
I would bleed this heart of mine
Just to show you

I'll be the first to say I'm sorry
The first to say I'm stupid
Why do I always take it there?
Is it hopeless or maybe you still want to
Meet me at the altar?
And I will lay it all to bare

And I told you all my secrets
All my fears, I've let go
And it's flawless
You are the only one
You are the only one
Don't you know?
Don't you know?

Am I fading from your mind?
Has the distance blurred the lines?
They say all things heal with time
But it's untrue
I will linger on every word
I know it's more than I deserve
Chances are I'll make it worse
But I need to

Tell you
Tell you that I'm sorry
Tell you that I'm stupid
Why do I always take it there?
Is it hopeless or maybe you still want to
Meet me at the altar?
And I will lay it all to bare

And I told you all my secrets
All my fears, I've let go
And it's flawless
You are the only one
You are the only one
Don't you know?

Don't you know
That the hardest part's not having you to hold?
Don't you know
This old heart of mine can't bear to see you go?

And I told you all my secrets
All my fears, I've let go
And it's flawless
You are the only one
You are the only one
Don't you know?

And I told you all my secrets
All my fears, I've let go
And it's flawless
You are the only one
You are the only one
Don't you know?

And I told you all my secrets
All my fears, I've let go
And it's flawless
You are the only one
You are the only one
Don't you know?

Goodbye my lover - James Blunt

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
Cause I saw the end before we'd begun
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won

So I took what's mine, by eternal right
Took your soul out into the night
It may be over, but it won't stop there
I am here for you, if you'd only care

You touched my heart, you touched my soul
You changed my life and all my goals
And love is blind and that I knew when
My heart was blinded by you

I've kissed your lips and held your hand
Shared your dreams and shared your bed
I know you well, I know your smell
I've been addicted to you

Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me

Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me

I am a dreamer and when I wake
You can't break my spirit
It's my dreams you take
And as you move on, remember me
Remember us and all we used to be

I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile
I've watched you sleeping for a while
I'd be the father of your child
I'd spend a lifetime with you

I know your fears and you know mine
We've had our doubts, but now we're fine
And I love you, I swear that's true
I cannot live without you

Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me

Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me

And I still hold your hand in mine
In mine when I'm asleep
And I will bare my soul in time
When I'm kneeling at your feet

Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me

Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow

Same mistake - James Blunt

Saw the world turning in my sheets
And once again I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong
So here I go

Hello, hello
There is no place I cannot go
My mind is muddy, but my heart is heavy
Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me
So here I go

And so I sent some men to fight
And one came back at dead of night
Said he'd seen my enemy
Said he looked just like me
So I set out to cut myself and here I go

I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

And maybe someday we will meet
And maybe talk and not just speak
Don't buy the promises
Cause there are no promises I keep
And my reflection troubles me
So here I go

I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
Cause I'll just make the same mistake

I'm not calling for a second chance
I'm screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason, but don't give me choice
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

Saw the world turning in my sheets
And once again I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars
Look at the stars fall down
And wonder where did I go wrong

Out of my mind - James Blunt

Judging by the look on the organ-grinder
He'll judge me by the fact that my face don't fit
It's touching that the monkey sits on my shoulder
He's waiting for the day when he gets me

But I don't need no alibi
I'm a puppet on a string
I just need this stage to be seen
We all need a pantomime to remind us what is real
Hold my eye and know what it means

Cause I’m
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind

Judging by the look on the organ-grinder
He'll judge me by the fact that my face don't fit
It's touching that the monkey sits on my shoulder
He's waiting for the day when he gets me

But I won't be your concubine
I'm a puppet not a whore
I just need this stage to be seen
Will you be a friend of mine to remind me what is real?
Hold my heart and see that it bleeds

Cause I’m
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind

Cause I’m
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind

Bonfire heart - James Blunt

Your mouth is a revolver
Firing bullets in the sky
Your love is like a soldier
Loyal 'til you die
And I’ve been looking at the stars
For a long, long time
I’ve been putting out fires
All my life

Everybody wants a flame
They don’t want to get burnt
And today is our turn

Days like these lead to
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us
We don’t need that much
Just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

This world is getting colder
Strangers passing by
No one offers you a shoulder
No one looks you in the eye
But I’ve been looking at you
For a long, long time
Just trying to break through
Trying to make you mine

Everybody wants a flame
They don’t want to get burnt
Well, today is our turn

Days like these lead to
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us
We don’t need that much
Just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
Our bonfire hearts
You light the spark

People like us
We don’t need that much
Just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Days like these lead to
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us
We don’t need that much
Just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Our bonfire hearts

Days like these lead to
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us
We don’t need that much
Just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

You're beautiful - James Blunt

My life is brilliant

My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
Cause I've got a plan

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
Cause I'll never be with you

Yes, she caught my eye
As I walked on by
She could see from my face that I was
Fucking high
And I don't think that I'll see her again
But we shared a moment that will last 'til the end

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
Cause I'll never be with you

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
There must be an angel with a smile on her face
When she thought up that I should be with you
But it's time to face the truth
I will never be with you

Don't forget me - Way Out West

There's just one thing that I need to say
Before I close my eyes and walk away
There's just one thing that I need to feel
Before I walk away against my will

There's just one thing that I need to hear
Before I walk away for the last time
There's just one thing that I need to see
Before I take this chance and set us free

Don't forget me
Don't regret me
Don't suspect me
Don't neglect me

The memory of this still reminds me of you
The memory of this still reminds me
The memory of this still reminds me of you
And that is where you'll find me

Stars in your eyes
Did you take the time to realize?
Can you count the stars in your eyes?
Did you take the time to realize?

There's just one thing that I need to say
Before I close my eyes and walk away
There's just one thing that I need to feel
Before I walk away against my will

Don't forget me
Don't regret me

The memory of this still reminds me of you
Don't suspect me
The memory of this still reminds me
Don't neglect me
The memory of this still reminds me of you
The memory of this still reminds me

Stars in your eyes
Did you take the time to realize?

The world is on fire - Gus Black

Hey, hey, hey, there's nothing left to say
The world is on fire and I love you, I love you

Hey, hey, hey, some things never change
The world is on fire and I love you, I love you

Hey, hey, hey, there's nothing left to say
The world is on fire and I love you, I love you

Hey, hey, hey, some things never change
The world is on fire and I love you, I love you

You’re all I require
The world is on fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire

Hey, hey, hey, there's nothing left to say
The world is on fire and I love you, I love you

Hey, hey, hey, some things never change
The world is on fire and I love you, I love you

The world is on fire and I love you, I love you

Amsterdam - Imagine Dragons

I'm sorry, mother
I'm sorry, I let you down
Well, these days I'm fine
No, these days I tend to lie
I'll take the west train
Just by the side of Amsterdam
Just by my left brain
Just by the side of the tin man

I'm sorry, brother
I'm sorry, I let you down
Well, these days you're fine
No, these days you tend to lie
You'll take the west train
Just by the side of Amsterdam
Just by your left brain
Just by the side of the tin man

Your time will come
If you wait for it, if you wait for it
It's hard, believe me, I've tried
But I keep coming up short

I'm sorry, lover
You're sorry, I bring you down
Well, these days I try
And these days I tend to lie
Kinda thought I was a mystery
And then I thought I wasn't meant to be
You said yourself fantastically
"Congratulations, you were all alone"

Your time will come
If you wait for it, if you wait for it
It's hard, believe me, I've tried
Your time will come
If you wait for it, if you wait for it
It's hard, believe me, I've tried

But the rain won't fall for the both of us
The sun won't shine on the both of us
Believe me when I say
That I wouldn't have it any other way

Your time will come
If you wait for it, if you wait for it
It's hard, believe me, I've tried
But I won't wait much longer
Cause these walls, they're crashing down
And I won't wait much longer
Cause these walls, they're crashing down
And I keep coming up short

Silhouettes - Smile Empty Soul

Silhouettes above the cradle hold me down
They won't let me go the wrong way
My mother taught me all the fables
Told me how in the end all the sinners have to pay

But I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
And I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

He worked so hard his bones are breaking
He wore them down, but long ago he lost the feeling
His good intentions leave me shaking, show me how
I don't ever want to end up like he did

And I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
And I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

When I have kids
I won't put any chains on their wrists, I won't
I'll tell them this
There's nothing in this world
That you can't be if you want it enough

I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
And I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

And I don't wanna live like my mother
And I don't wanna let fear rule my life
And I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

Across the universe - Rufus Wainwright

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
And call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They stumble blindly as they make their way across the universe

Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing
Through my open mind, inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world

Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings gonna change my world

Jai Guru Deva

In pieces - Linkin Park

Telling me to go
But hands beg me to stay
Your lips say that you love
Your eyes say that you hate

There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
What you build you lay to waste

This truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got is what you didn't take

So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces

And you
You will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
Don't lie

You promise me the sky
Then toss me like a stone
You wrap me in your arms
And chill me to the bone

There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got is what you didn't take

So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces

And you
You will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
Don't lie

So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces

And you
You will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
Don't lie

Special death - Mirah

A terrible mistake was made
The weight would break the backs
Of ten strong horses
Tried to save the castle in the fray

If you knew that I could take the pain
Inflicted at the battle
With faithful arrows
You might get back in the saddle

But it's a special death you saved for me
The brown-eyed daughter
Once you made it hotter

The thankless, holy praise is left alone
Why bother to cast a stone in water?

Laura Palmer - Bastille

Walking out into the dark
Cutting out a different path
Lead by your beating heart

All the people of the town
Cast their eyes right to the ground
In matters of the heart

The night was all you had
You ran into the night from all you had
Found yourself a path upon the ground
You ran into the night, you can't be found

But this is your heart
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?

Summer evening breezes blew
Drawing voices deep from you
Lead by your beating heart

What a year and what a night
What terrifying final sights
Put out your beating heart?

The night was all you had
You ran into the night from all you had
Found yourself a path upon the ground
You ran into the night, you can't be found

But this is your heart
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?

If you had your gun would you shoot it at the sky, why?
To see where it would fall, will you come down at all?
If you had your gun would you shoot it at the sky, why?
To see where your bullet would fall, will you come down at all?

This is your heart
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?

This is your racing heart
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Pumps through your veins
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?

Counting stars - OneRepublic

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars, yeah, we'll be counting stars

I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and you shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, coudn't I, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

I feel the love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is a four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Take that money
Watch it burn

Novacane - Frank Ocean

I think I started something, I got what I wanted
Did, did not, I can't feel nothing, superhuman
Even when I'm fucking, viagra popping, every single record, autotuning
Zero emotion, muted emotion, pitch corrected, computed emotion
I blame it on the model broad with the Hollywood smile
Stripper booty and a rack like wow, brain like Berkeley
Met her at Coachella, I went to see Jigga, she went to see Z Trip, perfect
I took a seat on the ice cold lawn, she handed me a ice blue bong, whatever
She said she wanna be a dentist really badly
She's in school paying for tuition doing porn in the Valley, at least she working
But girl I can't feel my face, what are we smoking anyway?
She said don't let the high go to waste, but you can taste a little taste of

Novacane, baby, baby, novacane, baby, I want you
Fuck me good, fuck me long, fuck me numb
Love me now, when I'm gone, love me none
Love me none, love me none, numb, numb, numb, numb

Sink full of dishes, pacing in the kitchen, cocaine for breakfast, yikes
Bed full of women, flip on a tripod, little red light on shooting
I'm feeling like Stanley Kubrick, this is some visionary shit
Been trying film pleasure with my eyes wide shut but it keeps on moving
I blame it on the model broad with the Hollywood smile
Stripper booty with the rack like wow, I'll never forget you
You put me on a feeling I never had, never had, never had, never had
And ever since I've been trying get it back, pick it up and put it back
Now I'm something like the chemist on campus
But there's no drug around, quite like what I found in you
I still can't feel my face, what am I smoking anyway?
She said don't let the high go to waste, but can you taste a little taste of

Novacane, baby, baby, novacane, baby, I want you
Fuck me good, fuck me long, fuck me numb
Love me now, when I'm gone, love me none
Love me none, love me none, numb, numb, numb, numb

Novacane, novacane, novacane, novacane, novacane
Numb the pain, numb the pain, numb the pain, numb the pain, numb the pain
Novacane, novacane, novacane, novacane, novacane
For the pain, for the pain, novacane, novacane

Pretty girls involved with me
Making pretty love to me, pretty, pity, pity
All the pretty girls involved with me
Making pretty love to me, pretty, pity, pity

I can't feel a thing
I can't feel, can't feel a thing
Can't feel a thing, can't feel, feel, feel, feel her
I can't feel, feel her
Novacane, novacane, novacane
I can't feel, feel her
Novacane for the pain, for the pain
I can't, can't feel her, feel her, feel her
Novacane, novacane, cane, cane, cane

Bad things - Jace Everett

I wanna do bad things with you

When you came in the air went out
And every shadow filled up with doubt
I don't know who you think you are
But before the night is through
I wanna do bad things with you

I'm the kind to sit up in his room
Heart sick and eyes filled up with blue
I don't know what you've done to me
But I know this much is true
I wanna do bad things with you

When you came in the air went out
And all those shadows there filled up with doubt
I don't know who you think you are
But before the night is through
I wanna do bad things with you

I don't know what you've done to me
But I know this much is true
I wanna do bad things with you
I wanna do real bad things with you

Demons - Imagine Dragons

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

Curtain’s call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you've made

Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

Clocks - Coldplay

The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh, I beg, I beg and plead, singing

Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head
And a trouble that can't be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing

You are
You are

Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know, singing

Come out upon my seas
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure?
Or am I part of the disease? Singing

You are, you are, you are
You are, you are, you are

And nothing else compares
Oh, nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

You are
You are

Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go

The scientist - Coldplay

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I'll set you apart

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming in tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

Thistle and weeds - Mumford & Sons

Spare me your judgments and spare me your dreams
Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams
I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind
Alone in the wind and the rain you left me
It's getting dark, darling, too dark to see
And I'm on my knees, and your faith in shreds, it seems

Corrupted by the simple sniff of riches blown
I know you have felt much more love than you've shown
And I'm on my knees and the water creeps to my chest

But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
Rain down, rain down on me
Look over your hills and be still
The sky above us shoots to kill
Rain down, rain down on me

But I will hold on
I will hold on hope
Oh, I will hold on
I will hold on hope
Oh, I will hold on
I will hold on hope
Oh, I will hold on
I will hold on hope
I will hold on
I will hold on

I begged you to hear me, there's more than flesh and bones
Let the dead bury the dead, they will come out in droves
Take the spade from my hands and fill in the holes you've made

Plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
Rain down, rain down on me
