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
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt

Watch it burn

Everything that kills me makes feel alive

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

Personal soldier - The Wanted

Left, left, left, right, left
Left, left, left, right, left

Tell me what's going on
I know there's something on your mind
And can you just open up?
Do you feel out of love?
Is somebody trying to hurt you?
You know I'd never let that happen
They must be out of their minds

Cause you are the sunshine that makes my day
And I won't let them take that away, hey

I'll be your hero who's standing strong
Who protects you from any fight
And if your battles are piling on
I will take them on with all my might
Cry your tears on my shoulder
You don't know what the future holds
So I'll be your personal soldier

Left, left, left, right, left
Left, left, left, right, left

If life is a battlefield, there's so many dangers
Just when you think it's ok, it blows up in your face
And when this road gets harder
You think your luck's run out
I will find a reserve to take you right back
To where your heart deserves
Cause there is no way that I won't put you first, hey

I'll be your hero who's standing strong
Who protects you from any fight
And if your battles are piling on
I will take them on with all my might
Cry your tears on my shoulder
You don't know what the future holds
So I'll be your personal soldier

I'll protect you, girl, don't worry

I'll be your hero who's standing strong
Who protects you from any fight
And if your battles are piling on
I will take them on with all my might
Cry your tears on my shoulder
You don't know what the future holds
So I'll be your personal soldier

Left, left, left, right, left
Left, left, left, right, left

Last leaf - Ok Go

If you should be
The last autumn leaf
Hanging from the tree
I'll still be here
Waiting on the breeze
To bring you down to me
And if it takes forever
Forever it'll be
And if it takes forever
Forever it'll be

And if you should be
The last seed in spring
To venture out a leaf
I'll still be here
Waiting on the rain
To warm your heart for me
And if it takes forever
Forever it'll be
And if it takes forever
Forever it'll be

Hardest of hearts - Florence And The Machine

There is love in your body but you can't hold it in
It pours from your eyes and spills from your skin
Tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks
And the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts

The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts

There is love in your body but you can't get it out
It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth
Sticks to your tongue and shows on your face
That the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste

Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But you'll never know what a fool I've been
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But that's no excuse for the state I'm in

The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts

There is love in our bodies and it holds us together
But pulls us apart when we're holding each other
We all want something to hold in the night
We don't care if it hurts or we're holding too tight

There is love in your body but you can't get it out
It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth
Sticks to your tongue and it shows on your face
That the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste

Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But you'll never know what a fool I've been
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But that's no excuse for the state I'm in

The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts

My heart swells like a water at weight
Can't stop myself before it's too late
Hold on to your heart
Cause I'm coming to take you
Hold on to your heart
Cause I'm coming to break you

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
The hardest of hearts (hold on, hold on)
The hardest of hearts (hold on, hold on)
The hardest of hearts (hold on)

Little lion man - Mumford & Sons

Weep for yourself, my man
You'll never be what is in your heart
Weep, little lion man
You're not as brave as you were at the start
Rate yourself and rake yourself
Take all the courage you have left
And waste it on fixing all the problems
That you made in your own head

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my?

Tremble for yourself, my man
You know that you have seen this all before
Tremble, little lion man
You'll never settle any of your scores
Your grace is wasted in your face
Your boldness stands alone among the wreck
Now learn from your mother
Or else spend your days biting your own neck

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my dear?

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my dear?

Porcelain - Cauterize

Sat up for hours
Thoughts of a lover
I’ll probably never get a chance to hold again
All of my days spent waiting for nights with her again, again
And I’m sharing a drink with a memory
And a laugh with an empty seat
Do you still look the same?
Will you still look at me the same?
Cause I know that I don’t
I’ve gotten so old in these last few years
And I’d rather be fighting with you
Than sleeping here next to her

Don’t let me fall
I’ll break
What a mess I'd make
Pathetic pieces on your floor
Cut your feet forever more
Your porcelain
Such a fragile skin
Just let me hold you
I’ll be gentle
I won’t drop you
This time I’ll be
Careful

Forget for just one second
That this is not alright
Lets drink to feeling nothing
At least just for tonight
Stay for one more
Pass out on the floor like we used to do
It got so hot in your room

Don’t let me fall
I’ll break
What a mess I'd make
Pathetic pieces on your floor
Cut your feet forever more
Your porcelain
Such a fragile skin
Just let me hold you
I’ll be gentle
I won’t drop you
This time I’ll be
Careful

And I can’t let it go
The fits of pain I’m feeling
And the hurt won’t leave me alone
And I’m tired of sleeping with ghosts

Fell asleep with your ghost
Woke up with a headache
From the cure that’s only temporary
When the morning always fails me

Don’t let me fall
I’ll break
What a mess I'd make
Pathetic pieces on your floor
Cut your feet forever more
Your porcelain
Such a fragile skin
Just let me hold you
I’ll be gentle
I won’t drop you
This time I’ll be
Careful

Lonely soldier - Damien Rice

Lonely soldier go home
Lonely, but never alone
Good eyes see nothing to shoot
Good feet feel good given up good boots

Ask your father how do you fall
Ask your father how do you fall
Like a leaf sitting on the ground
Good for nothing except kicking around

She died with her hand stretched out
She died with a hungry mouth
She died with a mind so full of doubt
And thoughts of weakening

So may your river never dry
And may your mouth never lie
May you be satisfied to never know why
Sometimes, someone just wants to die

Where'd you get those cuts in your hand?
I thought I told you about playing in the sand
There's always someone careless with glass
There's always questions you don’t want to ask

She died with her hand stretched out
She died with a hungry mouth
She died with a mind so full of doubt
And thoughts of weakening

So may your river never dry
And may your mouth never lie
May you be satisfied to never know why
Sometimes, someone just wants to die

So lonely soldier go home
Lonely, but never alone
Good eyes see nothing to shoot
Good feet feel good given up good boots

Part II - Paramore

What a shame, what a shame we all remain
Such fragile broken things
A beauty half betrayed
Butterflies with punctured wings
Still there are darkened places deep in my heart
Where once was blazing light
Now there's a tiny spark

Oh, glory
Come and find me
Oh, glory

Come and find me dancing all alone
To the sound of an enemy's song
I'll be lost until you find me
Fighting on my own
In a war that's already been won
I'll be lost until you come and find me here
Oh, glory

What a mess, what a mystery we've made
Of love and other simple things
Learning to forgive
Even when it wasn't our mistake
I question every human
Who won't look in my eyes
Scars left on my heart formed patterns in my mind

Oh, glory

You will find me dancing all alone
To the sound of an enemy's song
I'll be lost until you find me
Fighting on my own
In a war that's already been won
I'll be lost until you come and find me here
Oh, glory

Like the moon we borrow our light
I am nothing but a shadow in the night
So if you let me I will catch fire
To let your glory and mercy shine

Over my head (Cable car) - The Fray

I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears

And everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between

And everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and it's effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

And everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows
She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm over my

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
