I would die for you - Matt Walters

He buried her heart still
He buried her on her own
By the cool ferns
In the rained on river bed

He took her in his arms
He carried her ghost
Through grey stone fields
He could feel her float

She said, “I, I would die for you
And I, I would die for you”

And it all came true
Yeah, it all came true

A love so dark
Against the moon
With a silken cord
She spoke too soon

She said, “I, I would die for you
I, I would die for you”

When he first laid eyes on her
It was like a curse
He felt his heart rise
And gravity in reverse

Her eyes full of hope
Her voice full of mourning
And her lips as red
As a shepherd's warning

She said, “I, I would die for you
Yeah, I, I would die for you”

And it all came true
Yeah, it all came true

He lay her down
In the gentle earth
And kissed her eyes closed
Like it didn't hurt

He whispered, “I, I would die for you
I, I would die for you
I, I would die for you
I, I would die for you
I, I would die for you”

And it all came true
It all came true

Run - Nicole Scherzinger

Here's some advice for the next one
Don't let him lead you to the dark
Don't tell him all your secrets
He'll leave you with a broken heart
He'll try and tell you that he wants you
Just to keep you on the line
And right when you're about to move on
He pulls you back in every time

Here's advice for the next one
Run, run, run
Here's advice for the next one
Run, run, run

Darling, I know that you're just like me
You give your love up way too fast
But once it's gone it's gone forever
And there's no coming back from that
He's got this perfect way about him
He'll make you think that you come first
But you'll get lost in the challenge
Of trying not to get hurt

Here's advice for the next one
Run, run, run
Here's advice for the next one
Run, run, run

Don't even search for that four-letter word
You'll never get it out
You try and try and try
But he'll just shut you down
Don't wanna say I told you so
So please go now

Here's some advice for the next one
Run, run, run
Here's some advice for the next one
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Van Nuys - Sixx A.M

I don't want to die out here in the valley
Waiting for my luck to change
And I just want my dad to know
That I finally made it

Everybody gets high
Everybody gets low
Everybody gets bruised
Everybody gets sold

I don't want to die out here in the valley
You don't have to lie, I know that's what I'll do
I don't want my mom to know
That I never loved my life and I sold my soul

Everybody gets high
Everybody gets low
Everybody gets bruised
Everybody gets sold

Everybody gets dark
Everybody unfolds
Everybody gets high
Everybody gets so low

And everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys, Van Nuys

Everybody gets high
Everybody gets low
Everybody gets bruised
Everybody gets sold

Everybody gets dark
Everybody unfolds
Everybody gets high
Everybody gets so low

Everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys, Van Nuys

Everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys, Van Nuys

Everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys

Everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys, Van Nuys

Gold - Imagine Dragons

Fast comes the blessing of all that you dreamed
But then comes the curses of diamonds and rings
Only at first did it have its appeal
But now you can’t tell the false from the real

Who can you trust?
Who can you trust?

When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
Gold

Statues and empires are all at your hands
Water to wine and the finest of sands
When all that you have’s turning stale and it’s cold
Oh, you no longer fear when your heart’s turned to gold

Who can you trust?
Who can you trust?

When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
Gold

I’m dying to feel again
Oh, anything at all
But, oh, I feel nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing

When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
Gold

I bet my life - Imagine Dragons

I know I took the path
That you would never want for me
I know I let you down, didn't I?
So many sleepless nights
Where you were waiting up on me
But I'm just a slave unto the night

Now remember when I told you
That's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path
That you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years

So I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you

I've been around the world
And never in my wildest dreams
Would I come running home to you
I've told a million lies
But now I tell a single truth
There's you in everything I do

Now remember when I told you
That's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path
That you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years

So I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you

Don't tell me that I'm wrong
I've walked that road before
And left you on your own

And please believe them when they say
That it's left for yesterday
And the records that I play
Please forgive me for all I've done

So I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you

I, I bet my
I bet my
I bet my

I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my

Latch - Kodaline

You lift my heart up
When the rest of me is down
And you, you enchant me
Even when you're not around
If there, there are boundaries
I will try to knock them down
I'm latching on, babe
Now I know what I have found

I feel we're close enough
I wanna lock in your love
I feel we're close enough
I wanna lock in your love, your love

And now I've got you in my space
I won't let go of you
You got me shackled in my embrace
I'm latching on to you

I feel so encaptured
Got me wrapped up in your touch
Feel so enamored
Hold me tight within your clutch

And how did you do it?
You got me losing all my breath
How did you give me
To have my heartbeat out my chest?

Now I've got you in my space
I won't let go to you
Got me shackled in my embrace
I'm latching onto you

Now I've got you in my space
I won't let go of you
Got me shackled in my embrace
I'm latching onto you

I'm latching onto you
I'm latching onto you
I'm latching onto you
I'm latching onto you
I'm latching onto you

I'm latching onto you
I'm latching onto you
I'm latching onto you
I'm latching onto you

Now I've got you in my space
I won't let go of you
You got me shackled in my embrace
I'm latching onto you

Quiet the mind - IAMX

There was light
Before the rain began
And there was hope
Behind the suffering joke

Lies come
Lies, they go
Even the sun is tired
Under the surfaces
There is a benevolent drone
Do you feel it?

So brutal when the words are on
The tip of your tongue
So strange when your tired eyes won't
Shut your brain down

Hold back the melancholy
Hold back the fear, darling
It's a crime

Hold back the fear
Hold back the melancholy
It's a crime

Sometimes I can taste my death
Like a candy bar
So sweet and complete
As infinity takes me
This fool's end

I create to keep that dog in my bearable door
I made hologram
In my egocentric universe of

You're alive
But you know that the wire
Under you is bending
And the truth is always telling you to be
Immune to everything

Hold back the melancholy
Hold back the fear, darling
It's a crime

Hold back the fear
Hold back the melancholy
It's a crime

Hold back the fear
Hold back the darkness
Hold back the melancholy
Hold back the melancholy
It's a crime

People c'mon - Delta Spirit

I'm a wandering soul
I got no place of my own
Well, I got nothing to give
Well, I got nothing to show for it

And I'll be wandering on for all my years
What I become no one could know
If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon

And I got something to say, my friends
I will never lay down without a fight
And when I die it will be the day
When every one of my wrongs will be made right

Only times gonna heal my pain
Lord knows the mistakes I will make
Yeah, there'll be peace on my soul someday
Reconcile, I'll be on my way

And I'll be wandering on for all my years
What I become no one can say

If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon
Oh no, if you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon

And I'll be wandering on for all these years
What I become no one could know
If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon

3 rounds and a sound - Blind Pilot

They're playing our song
They're playing our song
Can you see the lights?
Can you hear the hum?

Of our song
I hope they get it right
I hope we dance tonight
Before we get it wrong

And the seasons
Will change us new
Be the best I've known
And you know me
I could not be stuck on you
If it were true

I was swimming
My eyes were dark
‘Til you woke me
And told me that opening
Is just the start
It was

Now I see you
‘Til kingdom come
You're the one I want
To see me for all the stupid shit I've done

Soil and six feet under
Killed just like we were
Before you knew you'd know me
And you know me

Blooming up from the ground
Three rounds and a sound
Like whispering you know me
You know me

So this was our song
This was our song
I still see the lights
I can see them

And the criss-cross
Of what is true won't get to us
Cause you know me
I could not give up on you

And the fog of what is right
Won't cover us cause you know me
I could not give up a fight

Soil and six feet under
Killed just like we were
Before you knew you'd know me
And you know me

Blooming up from the ground
Three rounds and a sound
Like whispering you know me
You know me

There is no reason for regret.

If I died tomorrow I wouldn't die with regrets. Sure, today I wish I had travelled more, I'm always going to long for Japan. I wish I'd read more, my book shelves are filled with unread books. I wish I'd watch more movies/series, I have long lists of titles. I wish I had succeeded at something. But if I died tomorrow I wouldn'tfeel regretful about my life. I have travelled. I've seen my own country, I've seen my neighboring countries, I've gone overseas. I've travelled by car, bus, airplane, boat, cruise ship. I've read hundreds of books, thousands of fanfics, and I've read so much relevant and random facts/trivia. I've looked through photographic books and I've taken my own photographs. I've drunk alcohol and I've gotten drunk and I've puked. I've gotten into fights because of disagreements, to stand up for myself, to stand up for someone else. I've gotten black eyes and cuts and bruises. I've played sports on a team and won a region championship. I've filmed for the local tv channel. I've been so far up in the mountains there was no phone network. I've rolled underneath a snowmobile. I've seen the sun shine at midnight. I've fished in the river. I've sat around countless bonfires and listened to tales and jokes of many kinds. I've had great friends that meant a lot to me, that I have had so much fun with. I've made friends with people of many different nationalities. I have international friends, great friends who I've shared more with than anyone else. I've kissed boys and girls. I've finished video games by myself. I've lied on a football field at midnight and stared at the sky. I've held my first nephew when he was new born and felt the world fall away. I've held them all and there's nothing like it. I've seen my sister get married. I've seen the most beautiful man on stage singing the songs that means everything to me. I watched him so intently I don't remember anything but watching him and hearing his voice. I've seen my idol up close. I've followed Harry Potter and it has changed my life. I've been to midnight premiers. I've loved and felt and been a part of something, I've seen and done and changed, I've gained and lost and removed myself from situations, I've smiled and laughed and cried and gotten angry. If I were to die tomorrow I would not regret my life because of the things I never got to do. I would never regret my life because up to that moment I've been doing the things I wanted to do at the moment, the things I could do, the things I had the capacity to do. There is no reason to regret the life you've lived so far, even if you realise that some things were mistakes. This is how your life had to be lived for you to be who you are. And there's no reason to regret the things you haven't done or would never get to do if you died, because the future is unknown and maybe you would never do those things even if you continued to live.

Let's make our escape to a place where we can wake to the sun again.

Every year the sun leaves at november 21, turns on december 21, and returns on january 21. Leaving us in darkness for two months. It happens every year. Two months of darkness. For us it is also common knowledge that we have something that can only be translated into "the winter depression". Where all this darkness makes you feel heavy and sluggish and depressed. It happens to most everyone. It is common knowledge. Yet I forget about it every year.

Sometimes it will be a month into it when I remember. Remember that these are the toughest months of the year to get through. But since I am to different degrees depressed all around the year I never think of it as much different. So a month into the darkness I'll remember. That the depression I am feeling now is worse because of these dark months. Sometimes I won't remember until its january and you can see the sun just barely above the mountains. And I'll remember that is why it has been harder these two months.

You wake up in the morning and its dark. You leave for school or work and its dark. You come home and its dark. You go to bed and its dark. It happens gradually, you've lived with it for so many years, you hardly notice its happening again. Until you stop. Look at the calendar. Think about it for a minute or two.

The sun is so important. But it's always there so you forget about that. Until you're a month in and haven't seen daylight for 30 days.

It's unlikely I'll remember next year too.

Half of something else - The Airborne Toxic Event

On the night that we met
You said that you wanted something more from me
And it was all that I could do

I remember your face, like a child
The way that you blushed
And the way that you smile

Now it’s all that I can do
And I wake up feeling new
There's so much more I never knew

So I think about the years spent alone
It’s like you’re searching for something to make you feel whole
Like you’re half of something else
Like you’re half of something else
Just a fraction of yourself

Don't take it so hard
We did what we could
There were no easy answers to be understood

But it was all that we could do
We’re the only ones who knew
Now all I think about is you

The way that you screamed
The way that you cry
The way that you wipe your eyes and fall against my side

The way that you told
Told me I was wrong
And the way that you sing
When you hear a song

And the way that you answer
When you knew I was gone
Now I know that I'm blind
And that you're all I see
And, yeah, I know it’s not clever
Just want you with me

I'm only half of something else
I'm only half of something else
I'm only half of something else

I just love you - Five For Fighting

Lonely, yeah, that's the word
I leave my heart when I leave her
The days go on forever
And the nights do too

One evening out on the road
Half a world away from home
I thought she was sleeping
When the call came through

And I said, “Darling, it's late
Is everything okay?”

And silence took over the room
'Til she said

“I, I just love you
I don't know why, I just do
When are you coming home?”

“I'm coming home soon
And I, I just love you too”


Lonely lets me be
For a while she sets me free
I close my eyes
And I dream of her

She's lost in my arms
Her head on my heart
And softly she whispers
The words

“I, I just love you
I don't know why, I just do
When are you coming home?”

“I'm coming home soon
And I, I just love you too”


I'll never stop being amazed
How my 4 year old girl
Knows exactly what to say

“I, I just love you
I don't know why, I just do
When are you coming home?”

“I'm coming home soon
Cause I just love you too”

Prodigal - OneRepublic

We say goodbye, I turn my back
Run away, run away, so predictable
Not far from here, you see me crack
Like a bone, like a bone, I'm so breakable

I'll take everything from you
But you'll take anything, won't you?

Run away, run away, like a prodigal
Don't you wait for me, don't you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed, but I need you so
And you wait for me, and you wait for me

I'm on the road to who knows where
Look ahead, not behind, I keep saying
There's no place to go where you're not there
On your rope I hold tight but it's freeing

I'll take everything from you
But you'll take anything, won't you?

Run away, run away, like a prodigal
Don't you wait for me, don't you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed, but I need you so
And you wait for me, and you wait for me

Everybody wants to be right
But only if it's not a day light
I keep trying to find my way back
My way back

Run away, run away, like a prodigal
Don't you wait for me, don't you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed, but I need you so
And you wait for me, and you wait for me

Run away, run away, run away
From you, from you, from you

All I want - Kodaline

All I want is nothing more
Than to hear you knocking at my door
Cause if I could see your face once more
I could die a happy man I'm sure

When you said your last goodbye
I died a little bit inside
I lay in tears in bed all night
Alone without you by my side

But if you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
And all I need is
To find somebody
I'll find somebody like you

So you brought out the best of me
A part of me I've never seen
You took my soul and wiped it clean
Our love was made for movie screens

But if you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
And all I need is
To find somebody
I'll find somebody

If you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
And all I need is
To find somebody
I'll find somebody like you

One day - Kodaline

One day it's here and then it's gone
How are you still holding on?
How are you still holding on?

You've felt this way for far too long
Waiting for a change to come
You know you're not the only one

And life passes you by
Don't be wasting your time
On your own

You always try to see yourself
Through the eyes of someone else
Through the eyes of someone else

Too shy to say that you need help
You and everybody else
You and everybody else

Oh, life passes you by
Don't waste your time
On your own

Yeah, life passes you by
Don't be wasting your time
All alone

As your heart gets bigger
And you try to figure out
What's it all about

And your skin gets thicker
As you try to figure out
What's it all about

Yeah, life passes you by
Don't waste your time
On your own

One day it's here and then it's gone
How are you still holding on?
How are you still holding on?

Human - Christina Perri

I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one
I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am

I can do it
I can do it
I can do it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
Cause I'm only human

I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything

I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
Cause I'm only human

I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human

I can take so much
Until I've had enough

Cause I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
Cause I'm only human

Mama said - Lukas Graham

When mama said that it was okay
Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was ok
Mama told us we are good kids
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
Cause we were good kids

Remember asking both my mom and dad
Why we never travelled to exotic lands
We only ever really visit friends
Nothing to tell when the summer ends
We never really went buying clothes
Folks were passing on this stuff plenty loads
New shoes once a year and then
Out to play ball so we could ruin them

When mama said that it was okay
Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was ok
Mama told us we were good kids
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
Cause we were good kids

Don't get me wrong I didn't have it bad
I got enough loving from my mom and dad
But I don't think they really understood
When I said that I wanted the deal in Hollywood
I told them I'll be singing on TV
The other kids were calling me a wannabe
The older kids they started bugging me
But now they all standing right in front of me

When mama said that it was okay
Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was ok
Mama told us we were good kids
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
Cause we were good kids

I know which place I'm from
I know my home
When I'm in doubt and struggling
That's where I go
An old friend can give advice
When new friends only know a half story
That's why I always keep them tight
And why I'm okay
I said I'm okay
You know what my mama said
You know what she told me

My mama said that it was ok
Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was ok
Mama told us we were good kids
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
Cause we were good kids

When mama said that it was okay
When mama said that it was okay
When mama said that it was okay

Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So, baby, be the life of the party

I'm telling you, take your shot, it might be scary
Hearts are gonna break
Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So, baby, be the life of the party

Life of the party
So don't let them keep you down
Oh, you know you can't give up
Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So, baby, be the life of the party

The last goodbye - Billy Boyd

I saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers
I will say this last goodbye

Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the sea

Under cloud, beneath the stars
Over snow one winter’s morn
I turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell
Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don’t regret
Nor will I forget
All who took the road with me

Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the sea

To these memories I will hold
With your blessing I will go
To turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell

I bid you all a very fond farewell

Breathe into me - Red

And this is how it feels when I
Ignore the words you spoke to me
And this is where I lose myself
When I keep running away from you
And this is who I am when
When I don't know myself anymore
And this is what I choose when
It's all left up to me

Breathe your life into me
I can feel you
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me
I still need you
I'm falling, falling

Breathe into me
Breathe into me

And this is how it looks when
I am standing on the edge
And this is how I break apart
When I finally hit the ground
And this is how it hurts when I
Pretend I don't feel any pain
And this is how I disappear
When I throw myself away

Breathe your life into me
I can feel you
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me
I still need you
I'm falling, falling

Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe into me

Breathe your life into me
I can feel you
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me
I still need you
I'm falling, falling
Breathe into me

Breathe your life into me
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me
Falling, falling, falling

Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe

Pieces - Red

I'm here again
A thousand miles away from you
A broken mess
Just scattered pieces of who I am
I tried so hard
Thought I could do this on my own
I've lost so much along the way

Then I'll see your face
I know I'm finally yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name
I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole

I've come undone
But you make sense of who I am
Like puzzle pieces in your eye

Then I'll see your face
I know I'm finally yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name
I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole

I tried so hard, so hard
I tried so hard

Then I'll see your face
I know I'm finally yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name
I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole
So you can make me whole

Smoke gets in your eyes - The Platters

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
“Something here inside
Can not be denied”


They said, “Some day you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes”


So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide, hide
So I smile and say
“When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes”


Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes

It's just my skin - George Ezra

There's a lock on my cupboard door
That I can only reach once inside
And I often sit and wonder who designed
Such a perfect place for me to hide

It's just my name
It's just my skin
Holding a boulder
Can you swim?
Oh, as we fall
Through the water
You find a piece within
And you know it's just your skin

Well, I was never lonely ‘till the day that I was born
Since that day I masquerade in a skin that I have worn
With at least three separate individual minds
When long John returns he'll give a scream
And what he finds

Is just my name
Is just my skin
Holding a boulder
Can you swim?
Oh, as we fall
Through the water
You find a piece within
And you know it's just your

Black dog, black dog, that I'll never know
Oh, black dog haunts you mind, your world, your soul
Oh, black dog, black dog, can't you see I am fine?
Oh, black dog, black dog, you're no plague of mine

It's just my name
It's just my skin
Holding a boulder
Can you swim?

It's just my name
Oh, it's just my skin
Holding a boulder
Can you swim?
Oh, as we fall
Through the water
You find a piece within
And you know it's just your skin

Did you hear the rain? - George Ezra

Why do you treat me so?
Why do you treat me so?
You caused me to weep
And you caused me to mourn
You caused me to pack up my bags
And leave home
Why do you treat me so?

Did you hear the thunder or the rain?
Means I’m coming home again
Means I’m coming home, my friend

Did you steal my name?
Oh, you Jack of all trades
You’re the master of none
Oh, the race has begun
I was born a champion
I was born to jump and run

Oh, did you hear the rain, oh, the rain?
You can try and run and hide
Tearing at the chain
Oh, Lucifer’s inside

Did your siblings tell you
I was wasting up your time?
Oh, now you’re wasting mine
You put me back in line
And I’m counting every link
And I guess you think that’s fine

Oh, did you hear the rain, oh, the rain?
You can try and run and hide
Tearing at the chain
Oh, Lucifer’s inside

Oh, did I send a shiver down your spine?
Well, I do it all the time
It’s a little trick of mine
Did I make you shake your knees?
Did I make him spill his wine?
Lord, I’m spreading like disease
Lord, I’m all up in your mind
Oh, Lucifer’s inside
Oh, Lucifer’s inside

Oh, did you hear the rain, oh, the rain?
You can try and run and hide
Tearing at the chain
Means I’m coming home again
Means I’m coming home, my friend
Oh, Lucifer’s inside
Oh, Lucifer’s inside
Lucifer’s inside

Budapest - George Ezra

My house in Budapest
My hidden treasure chest
Golden grand piano
My beautiful Castillo

For you
I’d leave it all

My acres of a land
I have achieved
It may be hard for you to
Stop and believe

But for you, you
I’d leave it all
All for you
For you
I’d leave it all

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
And, baby, if you hold me
Then all of this will go away

My many artifacts
The list goes on
If you just say the words
I’ll up and run

Oh, to you, you
I’d leave it all
For you
I’d leave it all

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
And, baby, if you hold me
Then all of this will go away

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
And, baby, if you hold me
Then all of this will go away

My friends and family
They don’t understand
They fear they’d lose so much
If you’d take my hand

But for you, you
I’d lose it all
All for you
For you
I’d lose it all

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
And, baby, if you hold me
Then all of this will go away

Give me one good reason
Why I should never make a change
And, baby, if you hold me
Then all of this will go away

My house in Budapest
My hidden treasure chest
Golden grand piano
My beautiful Castillo

You, you
I’d leave it all
All for you
You
I’d leave it all

Blame it on me - George Ezra

The garden was blessed by the gods of me and you
We headed west to find ourselves some truth
What you're waiting for?
Now, what you're waiting for?

We counted all our reasons, excuses that we made
We found ourselves some treasure, and then we threw it all away
What you're waiting for?
Now, what you're waiting for?
What you're waiting for?
Now, what you're waiting for?

When I dance alone and the sun’s bleeding down, blame it on me
When I lose control and the veil's overused, blame it on me
What you're waiting for?
Now, what you're waiting for?

Caught in the tide of blossom, caught in the carnival
Your confidence forgotten, I see the gypsies run
What you're waiting for?
Now, what you're waiting for?
What you're waiting for?
Now, what you're waiting for?

When I dance alone and the sun's bleeding down, blame it on me
When I lose control and the veil's overused, blame it on me
What you're waiting for?
Now, what you're waiting for?
What you're waiting for?
Now, what you're waiting for?

When I dance alone and the sun's bleeding down, blame it on me
When I lose control and the veil's overused, blame it on me
When I dance alone, I know I'll go, blame it on me
When I'll lose control, I know I'll go, blame it on me

What you're waiting for?
Now, what you're waiting for?
What you're waiting for?
Now, what you're waiting for?

Hello my old heart - The Oh Hellos

Hello, my old heart
How have you been?
Are you still there inside my chest?
I've been so worried
You've been so still
Barely beating at all

Oh, don't leave me here alone
Don't tell me that we've grown
For having loved a little while
Oh, I don't want to be alone
I want to find a home
And I want to share it with you

Hello, my old heart
It's been so long
Since I've given you away
And every day I add another stone
To the walls I built around you
To keep you safe

Oh, don't leave me here alone
Don't tell me that we've grown
For having loved a little while
Oh, I don't want to be alone
I want to find a home
And I want to share it with you

Hello, my old heart
How have you been?
How is it, being locked away?
Don't you worry
In there, you're safe
And it's true you'll never beat
But you'll never break

Nothing lasts forever
Some things aren't meant to be
But you'll never find the answers
Until you set your old heart free
Until you set your old heart free

Hello, my old heart
Hello, my old heart

Hello, my old heart
Hello, my old heart

You - Keaton Henson

If you must wait
Wait for them here in my arms as I shake
If you must weep
Do it right here in my bed as I sleep
If you must mourn, my love
Mourn with the moon and the stars up above
If you must mourn
Don't do it alone

If you must leave
Leave as though fire burns under your feet
If you must speak
Speak every word as though it were unique
If you must die, sweetheart
Die knowing your life was my life's best part
If you must die
Remember your life

You are
You are
Oh, you are
You are, oh

If you must fight
Fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night
If you must work
Work to leave some part of you on this earth
If you must live, darling one

Just live
Just live
Just live

Under wraps - Ghost Town

I unravel one by one
These bandages cover up who you really are
I take off some more
Don't know what's in store
White rags on the floor

Let's see if we can keep this lust under wraps
Three thousand years you dreamt of us, now I'm back
I'll save you from this tomb

It doesn't matter how fast I go
These linens can't control
Mystery, can't you see?
I want the person I knew
When this kingdom came crashing down
You stood and you fought and you kept our vow

How many times do I have to mention?
The scars, the imperfections are what make me want you more

Let's see if we can keep this lust under wraps
Three thousand years you dreamt of us, now I'm back
I'll save you from this tomb
To live the life we wanted to
They told me you were gone for good
Don't judge a mummy by its rags

I want the person I knew
They told me you were gone for good
Now I'm back
Three thousand years you dreamt of us

I unravel one by one
Not scared of what you've become
I unravel one by one
Our forbidden lust
Now untangled love

Let's see if we can keep this lust under wraps
Three thousand years you dreamt of us, now I'm back

Let's see if we can keep this lust under wraps
Three thousand years you dreamt of us, now I'm back
I'll save you from this tomb
To live the life we wanted to
They told me you were gone for good
Don't judge a mummy by its rags

13 minutes - A Perfect Circle

It’s funny when things go wrong
I get tired of waking
For all the things I've loved before
I'm tired of breaking

Good things are far ahead, yeah
But my patience is shaking
Only 13 minutes left
But is it worth waiting?

Would you care for me?
Cause I'm tired
Tired of all this life

Would you care for me?
Cause I feel like
I've been cut inside

Would you care for me?
Cause I'm tired
Tired of all this life

Would you care for me?
Cause I feel like
I've been cut inside

It's blatant to feel so wrong
To get hurt by the taking
Everything that I have said before
I hesitate saying

I'm crawling fast ahead, yeah
The pace that I'm making
Only 13 minutes left
But it's not worth waiting

Would you care for me?
Cause I'm tired
Tired of all this life

Would you care for me?
Cause I feel like
I've been cut inside

Would you care for me?
Cause I'm tired
Tired of all this life

Would you care for me?
Cause I feel like
I've been cut inside

Would you care for me?
Cause I'm tired
Tired of all this life

Would you care for me?
Cause I feel like
I've been cut inside

Would you care for me?
Cause I'm tired
Tired of all this life

Would you care for me?
Cause I feel like
I've been cut inside

I’ve been cut inside
I’ve been cut inside

24 - Jem

Been given 24 hours to tie up loose ends
To make amends
His eyes said it all, I started to fall
And the silence deafened
Head spinning round, no time to sit down
Just wanted to run and run and run
“Be careful”, they say, “Don't wish life away”
Now I've one day

And I can't believe, how I've been wasting my time

In 24 hours they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me

Is there a heaven, a hell, and will I come back, who can tell?
Now I can see what matters to me
It's as clear as crystal
The places I've been, the people I've seen
Plans that I made start to fade
The sun's setting gold, thought I would grow old
It wasn't to be

And I can't believe, how I've been wasting my time

In 18 hours they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me

In 13 hours they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me

I'm not alone, I sense it, I sense it
All that I said, I meant it, I meant it

And I can't believe, how much I've wasted my time

In just 8 hours they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me

In just 1 hour they'll be laying flowers on my life
It's over tonight
I'm not messing, no, I need your blessing
And your promise to live free, please do it for me

Beautiful blue - Holly McNarland

From the picture on the wall
To the bed post that touched them all
This is where I live
This is where I do my screaming

How do you say, “I love you”
In so many other ways?
This is where I live
This is what I do best

Dreaming with so much ugliness
Waking up to all this beautiful blue
Beautiful you

From the time I walked in
To the point that we're both arguing
This is how I live
This is where I start screaming

How do you say, “I've always felt this way”?
This is where I live
This is what I do best

Dreaming with so much ugliness
Waking up to all this beautiful blue
Is beautiful you

Dreaming under this ugliness
Waking up to all this beautiful blue

Dreaming under this ugliness
Waking up to all this beautiful blue
Beautiful you
Beautiful you

No surprise - Daughtry

(And I hope, and I hope)
I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder, I love how it sounds
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed 'til today
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

It came out like a river, once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever, just pushing it down
It felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed 'til today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to save

Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God knows we tried to find an easier way
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise

If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this
It's easier to see the reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed 'til today (Stayed 'til today)
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

The kiss goodnight, it comes with me
Both wrong and right, our memories (Our memories)
The whispering before we sleep
Just one more thing that you can't keep (You can't keep)

Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
(And I hope, and I hope, and I hope, and I hope, and I hope)

I've gotta be me - Glee Cast

Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am?

I want to live, not merely survive
And I won't give up this dream of life
That keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am

That far-away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all

I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me

That far-away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all

I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I gotta be me

Mockingbird - Rob Thomas

Here we stand
Somewhere in between this moment and the end
Will we bend?
Or will we open up and take this whole thing in?

Everybody else is smiling
And their smiles don't fade
And you don't even wonder why
You just don't think that way

Maybe you and me got lost somewhere
We can't move and we can't stay here
Well, maybe we've just had enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love

You and me tried everything
But still that mockingbird won't sing
Well, man, this life seems hard enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love

Take my hand
And I will lead you through the broken promise land
Yes I can, oh, yes I can
I can be there when you need it
I'll give it all 'til you can't feel it anymore

I don't wanna love you now
If you'll just leave someday
I don't wanna turn around
If you'll just walk away

Maybe you and me got lost somewhere
We can't move and we can't stay here
Well, maybe we've just had enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love

You and me tried everything
But still that mockingbird won't sing
Well, man, this life seems hard enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love

Maybe you and me got lost somewhere
We can't move and we can't stay here
Well, maybe we've just had enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love

You and me tried everything
But still that mockingbird won't sing
Well, man, this life seems hard enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love
Maybe we ain't meant for this love
Maybe we ain't meant for this love

Made to be free - Tim McMorris

Moving along, new beginnings and new ends
Spending out time, with our family and our friends
Celebrate with the cool autumn air
And we’re living out our lives as we dance without a care

Oh, we were made, yeah, we were made to be free

The year is turning over and the leaves go golden brown
The sky gets crystal clear as the temperature cools down
Life is full of colour as the seasons change around
And the birds make their beautiful sound

Amazing things are here without a catch, without a hook
But sometimes you have to search it out, or just know where to look
And in case you cannot find it, here’s a song to you from me
Sometimes it takes someone’s help so we can see

That life right here, it can be good
And a good life, yeah, it should be

Cause we were made, yeah, we were made to be free
Oh, we were made, yeah, we were made to be free

Oh, my family and friends, I keep them near
The things you love, you keep them close, that’s what I hear
We spend our time out by the fire and watch the sun slowly retire
Life is simple, I like it that way

If you cannot find the truth in what I say
Your path is hard and you are burned out every day
With each season comes a turn for things to change, to start a new
They did for me, and things can change for you too
Just remember with each day there is an opportunity

And we were made, yeah, we were made to be free
Oh, we were made, yeah, we were made to be free
We were made, yeah, we were made to be free
We were made, yeah, we were made to be free
Oh, to be free

Feels good at first - Train

Teach me to fall
And I'll teach you to sing
When life keeps stealing your melody
Around your finger I'll be a string
I will forget everything I know
About love, I don't know, about love
Sure feels good at first

I'll learn to dance
If you promise not to laugh
And I end up in a cast
From falling over
And you can't get mad
When some girl you think I have
Puts a story in your head
When I hardly know her, so
About love, I don't know, about love
Sure feels good at first

Oh, every spring there's a honey bee that stings
So things can change
Oh, every fire get too close and it reminds you
Things can change in love
But it sure feels good at first

For every heartbreak
There's a sermon to be said
And this pastor in my hands
Preaching to the choir
Don't get me wrong
Cause it's too soon to decide
But this ain't my first rodeo
When my heart's been roped and tied
In love, I don't know, about love
But it sure feels good at first

Oh, every autumn colours come that you've forgotten
So things can change
Oh, every frost some live on and some are lost
So things can change in love
But it sure feels good at first

But it sure felt good at first

Help - Hurts

Take my hand and lead the way
Out of the darkness and into the light of the day
And take me somewhere I'll be safe
Carry my lifeless body away from the pain

Cause I know what I've been missing
And I know that I should try
But there's hope in this admission
And there's freedom in your eyes

And we cry away

I'm sick and tired of being afraid
If I cry anymore then my tears will wash me away
But when I hear you call my name
I whisper the word that I never thought I'd ever say

And I hope to God you'll listen
And you'll keep me safe from harm
Cause I found what I was missing
When I fell into your arms

And we cry away

I can feel the darkness coming
And I'm afraid of myself
Call my name and I'll come running
Cause I just need some help

I can feel the darkness coming
And I'm afraid of myself
Call my name and I'll come running
Cause I just need some help

Okay, I believe you, but my tommy gun don't - Brand New

I am heaven sent
Don't you dare forget
I am all you've ever wanted
What all the other boys all promised
Sorry I told, I just needed you to know
I think in decimals and dollars
I am the cause to all your problems
Shelter from cold, we are never alone
Coordinate brain and mouth
Then ask me what it’s like to have
Myself so figured out
I wish I knew

I hope this song starts a craze
The kind of song that ignites the airwaves
The kind of song that makes people glad
To be where they are
With whomever they're there with
This is war
Every line is about
Who I don't wanna write about anymore
Hope you come down with something they can't diagnose
Don't have the cure for
Holding on to your grudge
Oh, it’s so hard to have someone to love
And keeping quiet is hard
Cause you can’t keep a secret
If it never was a secret to start
At least pretend you didn't wanna get caught

We're concentrating on falling apart.
We were contenders
We're throwing the fight
But I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe in us

Oh, we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial
We are entirely smooth
We admit to the truth
We are the best at what we do
And these are the words you wish you wrote down
This is the way you wish your voice sounds
Handsome and smart
Oh, my tongue's the only muscle on my body
That works harder than my heart
And its all from watching TV
And from speeding up my breathing
Wouldn't stop if I could
Oh, it hurts to be this good
You're holding on to your grudge
Oh, it hurts to always have to be honest
With the one that you love
Oh, so let it go

We're concentrating on falling apart
We were contenders
We're throwing the fight
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe

We're concentrating on falling apart
We were contenders, we're throwing the fight
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe in us

This is the grace that only we can bestow
This is the price you pay for loss of control
This is the break in the bend
This is the closest of calls
This is the reason you're alone
This is the rise and the fall

We're concentrating on falling apart
We were contenders
We're throwing the fight
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe

We're concentrating on falling apart
We were contenders
We're throwing the fight
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe
I just wanna believe in us

Safe and sound - Taylor Swift feat. The Civil Wars

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window, darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Dreams - Cranberries

Oh, my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way

And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you

And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be

I want more
Impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore

And they'll come true
Impossible not to do
Impossible not to do

And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find

A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

Oh, my life
Is changing every day
In every possible way

And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me

Since october - In This Moment

Well, you deserve only the best in me
Without you I've lost it all
I know I've taken for granted all these years
The things that seem so small

And I'd give anything for one more
Just one more try
To notice the things I'm holding on to
Right now in my mind

Cause I'm missing you tonight
Till I finally close my eyes
I am caught up in this moment
So caught up
Cause you're right here by my side

You always did bring out the best in me
That part of me has died
I know I couldn't even live my life
Without you, but I try

And to think that I'm all you wanted
Well, you got all of me this time
And I'm ready to give this one more chance
As long as you're willing to try

Cause I'm missing you tonight
Till I finally close my eyes
I am caught up in this moment
So caught up
Cause you're right here by my side

And if I'm dreaming, it's alright
Till I finally close my eyes
I am caught up in this moment
So caught up
Cause you're right here by my side

So where do we go from here?
When will I know?
Like tearing flesh, still the scars remain
The difference is so clear

And I'm breaking my fall when I'm risking it all
And my options are few when all I have is you and that's all
Yeah, I'm chasing the call but my patience is gone
Now all these memories are coming back to me

Cause I'm missing you tonight
Till I finally close my eyes
I am caught up in this moment
So caught up
Cause you're right here by my side

And if I'm dreaming, it's alright
Till I finally close my eyes
I am caught up in this moment
So caught up
Cause you're right here by my side

Anywhere - Evanescence

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me?
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free?
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the mornings light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long, I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the mornings light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back
You're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back
You're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you now

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the mornings light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

Basement ghost singing - Armor For Sleep

Now I'm in your basement
I'm laying low to keep out of your way
I hear your footsteps
Move the floorboards above my head
I have my own routine now
I'm keeping busy in my own way
I'm learning ways to not feel
Like I'm down here forever

I hear your footsteps
Move the floorboards above my head
I hope you know that I'm down here
Just for you

I sang a song to you through the floor
To reach you upstairs
I thought I heard you call out for more
I know that's crazy
I'm pretty sure that I'm lost again
It won't get through to you
I won't get through
I think I won't get through

I'm gonna close my mouth now
You don't need more noise in your life
I miss you more than you know
But I know time makes you move on

I hear your footsteps
Move the floorboards above my head
I hope you know that I'm down here
Just for you

I sang a song to you through the floor
To reach you upstairs
I thought I heard you call out for more
I know that's crazy
I'm pretty sure that I'm lost again
It won't get through to you
I won't get through
I think I won't get through

The lights are off
And I'm lost again

The lights are off
And I'm lost again

The lights are off
And I'm lost again

The lights are off
And I'm lost again

The lights are off
And I'm lost again

The lights are off
And I'm lost again

The lights are off

Friends and lovers - Incubus

I'm an empty well
Running out of black gold
It's high time I pulled over
And walked around a while

I've seen the porcelain shell
Your exoskeleton
And I feel like we'd walk well together

Because in the end
We are friends and lovers

If asked of me, I would
Gobble them to bits
The things that wall us off
From where we belong

What's wrong with you is good
For what's wrong with me
And I think maybe we should stick together

Because in the end
We are friends and lovers
We are friends and lovers

Abandon all the bones
We've got to pick
They'll only weigh us down
And we are better than that

If they all throw stones
Start a collection
Of everything we're not
And won't be

Cause you should never have to defend
(Never have to defend)
Being friends and lovers
Being friends and lovers
Being friends and lovers

Tear the blue - Parabelle

I didn't notice that you had been broken
If I had been broken like you
I would have fallen apart by now
But here you are wandering, here you are believing

Your secrets and whispers, they're lying to you
But I held you hand when you asked

Calm down and tear the blue
And I would go anywhere, anywhere for you
Calm down and tear the blue
And I would do anything, anything for you
(Stay close)

Cause you never noticed that I had been broken
But you held the parts in your hands
And I would say starlight would light up our paths
But here you are stumbling, here you are retreating

Your secrets and whispers, they're lying to you
But I held your hand when you asked

Calm down and tear the blue
And I would go anywhere, anywhere for you
Calm down and tear the blue
And I would do anything, anything for you

I’d even cross out my eyes for you
Do I really need to cross out my eyes?

She lived her life, there was nothing to lose
But I held her hand when she couldn't hold herself up again

Calm down and tear the blue
And I would go anywhere, anywhere for you
Calm down and tear the blue
And I would do anything, anything for you

Secrets and whispers, they're lying to you
But I held her hand when she couldn't hold herself up again

And I would do anything, anything

I’d even cross out my eyes for you
Do I really need to cross out my eyes for you?

Alibi - 30 Seconds To Mars

No warning sign, no alibi
We faded faster than the speed of light
Took our chance, crashed and burned
No we'll never ever learn

I fell apart, but got back up again
And then I fell apart, but got back up again, yeah

We both could see crystal clear
That the inevitable end was near
Made our choice, a trial by fire
To battle is the only way we feel alive

I fell apart, but got back up again
And then I fell apart, but got back up again
And then I fell apart, but got back up again

Way, oh, way, oh
Way, oh, way, oh
Way, oh, way, oh

So here we are, the witching hour
The quickest tongue to divide and devour
Divide and devour

If I could end the quest for fire
For truth, for love and my desire
Myself

And I fell apart, but got back up again

Way, oh, way, oh
Way, oh, way, oh
Way, oh, way, oh
Way, oh, way, oh
Way, oh

I fell apart
I fell apart
I fell apart
I fell apart
I fell apart

But got back up again

Overwhelmed - Tim McMorris

From the first time I saw you
I knew you'd be mine
And from the first glance you gave
My world it slowed, you stopped the time
And in that moment I could see
All of the things that we would be
You were the girl I was waiting for
That I would ask to marry me

Like the beauty of the sun
You light my life so I can see
You make me laugh and show me how
Just how good this life can be
And in our moments filled with joy
Is where I live, where I am free
Lay in my arms, I'll hold you tight
Just like you like, continually

And I am overwhelmed by you
Am overcome with joy
You've taken me higher
And shown me what love can do
Where would I go, or be, without you?

There's something in your smile
That gives me strength to carry on
And there’s something in your words
That lingers even when you’re gone
Oh, I've dreamt, that a time like this
Would come, fulfill my life
Who could have known the one who'd bring it here
Would be my lovely wife

I could sing a thousand songs
About you, still that would not do
There's a million tiny things
That make the things that you do, you
I wouldn't trade our time together
Wouldn't trade for anything
Cause nothing else here in the world
Can bring the happiness you bring

And I am overwhelmed, by you
Am overcome with joy
You've, taken me higher
And shown me what love can do
Where would I go, or be, without you?

Yeah, I'm overwhelmed by you
Am overcome with joy
You've taken me higher
And shown me what love can do
Where would I go, or be, without you?

Let love in - Goo Goo Dolls

You wait
Wanting this world to let you in
And you stand there
A frozen light in dark and empty streets
And you smile, hiding behind a God-given face
But I know you're so much more
Everything they ignore
Is all that I need to see

And you're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in
And now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in

I wish
Wishing for you to find your way
And I'll hold on for all you need
That's all we need to say
And I'll take my chances
While you take your time
With this game you play
But I can't control your soul
You need to let me know
You leaving or you gonna stay?

You're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in
And now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in

There's nothing we can do about
The things we have to do without
The only way to feel again
Is let love in

There's nothing we can do about
The things we have to live without
The only way to see again
Is let love in

You wait
Wanting this world to let you in

And you're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in
And now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in
The moment we decided to let love in
The moment we decided to let love in

Butterfly - Tapping The Vein

What am I?
I wish I was a butterfly
I'd fly and fly
Until it was my time to die
It's creeping in again
I know what I really am
No more pretty, purple
Peaceful butterfly

Simple life
If I were a butterfly
I'd fly and fly
Until it was my time to die
It's creeping in again
I know what I really am
No more pretty, purple
Peaceful butterfly

Come see the blood that's in my bed
Come hear the things
That nobody talks about
Shut up your mouth
Shame on you, shame on me

Look at me
I wish I was a honey bee
Anything, anything other than
The things I have been
I slip out of my skin
So I don't have to do it again
But just a passing thought
And your filth is seeping in

Come scrub my hands
They won't come clean
Come sit with me
While the walls pressing in on me
Shut off that light
Shame on you, shame on me

Come see the blood that's in my bed
Come hear the things
That nobody talks about
Shut up your mouth
Shame on you, shame

Come scrub my hands
They won't come clean
Come sit with me
While the walls pressing in on me
Shut off that light
Shame on you, shame on me

Saturn - Sleeping At Last

You taught me the courage of stars before you left
How light carries on endlessly, even after death
With shortness of breath, you explained the infinite
How rare and beautiful it is to even exist

I couldn’t help but ask
For you to say it all again
I tried to write it down
But I could never find a pen
I’d give anything to hear
You say it one more time
That the universe was made
Just to be seen by my eyes

I couldn’t help but ask
For you to say it all again
I tried to write it down
But I could never find a pen
I’d give anything to hear
You say it one more time
That the universe was made
Just to be seen by my eyes

With shortness of breath, I’ll explain the infinite
How rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist

The edge - Tonight Alive

You said you'd stay, I said I'd wait
All those words we spoke in vain
I still recall the bitter taste
I guess some things never change

And then I think of yesterday
And every promise that you made
I never thought I'd be
The one that you would break

But I will fight until the day the world stops turning
And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning

But tonight I need you to save me
I'm too close to breaking, I see the light
I am standing on the edge of my life
Standing on the edge of my life
Standing on the edge

This is how it all turns out
You're the hero, I'm left out
I should've known you couldn't stand
Up for me and be a man

I still have dreams of you at night
I can't tell the dark from light
I never thought I'd be
The one you'd leave behind

But I will fight until the day the world stops turning
And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning

But tonight I need you to save me
I'm too close to breaking, I see the light
I am standing on the edge of my life

With each step I hold my breath
And I'm tangled in your spider webs
How could, how could I fall
And I wonder if you ever cared at all

But I will fight until the day the world stops turning
And they will fall to ashes, I will just keep burning

But tonight I need you to save me
I'm too close to breaking, I see the light
I am standing on the edge of my life

I am standing on the edge of my life
Standing on the edge of my life
I am standing on the edge of my life

A lion's heart - The Tallest Man On Earth

There's a palace a falling
There's a smoke in the sky
There's a boy running downhill to the lowlands tonight
And he's catching the train to where he's heard you have been
He's a fool now among us, a dreamer within
Dreaming of you

And on that day there was snowfall in the street, yellow light
And they cleared the bill and rails just by those dark shimmer eyes
In that land there's a winter
In that winter's a day
In that day there's a moment when it all goes your way
And you know it's a lion's heart
That will tumble and tear apart
When he's coming down the hills for you

But can you still now remember who's been hiding up there?
Through his howling at twilight all his songs of despair?
Do you remember the caller of a black and white crime?
Well, he lives by that memory and falls from his mind
And you know it's a lion's heart
That will tumble and tear apart
When he's coming down the hills for you

Well, he'll walk in the city forever
Oh, walk in a time to be gone
Well, there's no real goodbye if you mean it
So I guess I'm forever alone

Now he's a stranger among us, he will die in the park
Where he hides from the statues and the weather remarks
In that land there's a winter
In that winter's a day
In that day there's a moment when it all goes away
And you know it's a lion's heart
That will tumble and tear apart
When it's coming down the hills for you

Love is all - The Tallest Man On Earth

Well, I walk upon the river like it's easier than land
Evil's in my pocket and your will is in my hand
Oh, your will is in my hand

And I'll throw it in the current that I stand upon so still
Love is all, from what I've heard, but my heart's learned to kill
Oh, mine has learned to kill

Oh, I said I could rise
From the harness of our goals
Here come the tears
But like always, I let them go
Just let them go

And now spikes will keep on falling from the heavens to the floor
The future was our skin and now we don't dream anymore
No, we don't dream anymore

Like a house made from spider webs and the clouds rolling in
I bet this mighty river's both my savior and my sin
Oh, my savior and my sin

Oh, I said I could rise
From the harness of our goals
Here come the tears
But like always, I let them go
Just let them go

Well, I walk upon the river like it's easier than land
Evil's in my pocket and your strength is in my hand
Your strength is in my hand

And I'll throw you in the current that I stand upon so still
Love is all, from what I've heard, but my heart's learned to kill
Oh, mine has learned to kill

Oh, I said I could rise
From the harness of our goals
Here come the tears
But like always, I let them go
Just let them go

There's no leaving now - The Tallest Man On Earth

When there’s no one here in the tryouts
Who will live through your first day’s trial
Of confusion when your faint and crooked smile
Had to leave

And when you’re painted like a warrior
Though you know it’s a raining war
When the first who spoke, but wasn’t really sure
Was your heart

Your fear of the leading light
If they are with you and your heart won’t fail
To see through a fearless eye
And know that danger finally goes away
Still you’re trying
But there’s no leaving now

And with your quiet damn devotion
To be lost like your child again
Claim forever is a close and honest friend
To your ways

Will there be time to harvest rivers
That for so long refused to grow?
All the little things you need to build a home
For your love

Your fear of the leading light
If they are with you and your heart won’t fail
To see through a fearless eye
And know that danger finally goes away
Still you’re trying
But there’s no leaving now

Your fear of the leading light
If they are with you and your heart won’t fail
To see through a fearless eye
And know that danger finally goes away
Still you’re trying
But there’s no leaving now

Heaven's not enough (Wolf's rain) - Steve Conte

Heaven's not enough
If when you get there
Just another blue
And heaven's not enough
You think you've found it
And it loses you

You've thought of all there is
But not enough
And it loses you in a cloud

There, most everything is nothing that it seems
Where, you see the things you only wanna see

I'd fly away
To a higher plane
To say words I resist
To float away
To sigh
To breathe, forget

And heaven's not enough
If when I'm there I don't remember you
And heaven does enough
You think you know it
And it uses you

I saw so many things
But like a dream
Always losing me in a cloud

Cause I couldn't cry
Cause I turned away
Couldn't see the score
Didn't know the pain
Of leaving yesterday really far behind

In another life
In another dream
By a different name
Gave it all away
For a memory
And a quiet lie

And I felt the face
Of a cold tonight
Still don't know the score
But I know the pain
Of leaving everything really far behind

And if I could cry
And if I could live
What truth I did
Then take me there
Heaven, goodbye

Bang - Armchair Cynics

Break the skin
Cause I can't tell
Where your body ends
And mine begins
Tear the flesh
I woke today
Feeling like some kind of masochist

You manifest
You bring things to be
Yeah, and your mojo-witchcraft
Honey, it's working on me

And I must confess
Pull, beg, and plead
That I need your kiss
Like the ocean needs a breeze

Oh, I go off like a gun
Like a loaded weapon
Bang, bang, bang
Grip me in your hands
So here we go again
It echoes in my head
Bang, bang, bang
Grip me in your hands

So I can feel you here with me

Soaked in sin
Baptized by your kiss
And now I'm born again
Bite your lip
Wrap my hands around your head and pull you in

I can't catch my breath
Sleep, think, or speak
Yeah, your mojo-witchcraft
Honey, it’s working on me

So let's make a mess
Tear up these sheets
Every whisper you speak
Sends shivers through me

Oh, I go off like a gun
Like a loaded weapon
Bang, bang, bang
Grip me in your hands
So here we go again
It echoes in my head
Bang, bang, bang
Grip me in your hands

I go off like a gun
Like a loaded weapon
Bang, bang, bang
Grip me in your hands
So here we go again
It echoes in my head
Bang, bang, bang
Grip me in your hands

So I can feel you here with me (tear the flesh)
So I can feel you here with me (break the skin)
So I can feel you near me (tear the flesh)
So I'll make sure you hear me

Oh, I go off like a gun
Like a loaded weapon
Bang, bang, bang
Grip me in your hands
So here we go again
It echoes in my head
Bang, bang, bang
Grip me in your hands

I go off like a gun
Like a loaded weapon
Bang, bang, bang
Grip me in your hands
So here we go again
It echoes in my head
Bang, bang, bang
Grip me in your hands

Bang, bang, bang
Grip me in your hands
Bang, bang, bang
Grip me in your hands

The fake sound of progress - Lostprophets

Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more you think, the less you act their way
So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress?

Never reason with a fool, but is that unkind?
Looks like I've lost my mind once again
I know it all sounds so contrived, but it's got to me
You know I've got to be more than this

Don't frown, don't scorn, cause I walk a different street to you
You look so worn, I bet that life has got you blown
But it will never get to me

Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more you think, the less you act their ways
So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress?

And I feel the way you hold, hold me back from this
Chances that I've missed, now they're gone
Apathy is all I sense, the feeling's too intense
Sitting on a fence and can't decide

Don't frown, don't scorn, cause I walk a different street to you
You look so worn, I bet that life has got you blown
Nobody will ever get to me

Somebody told me that I always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more you think, the less you act their ways
So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress?

All these words that I accounted for, never fear another day
Always charged but I need more, make me take away
Tell me now, can you hear the sound
Of all these people falling down?
Growing back into the ground, let me smile again
Swing it

Tell me now can you hear the sound, of the record spinning
round and round, for on and on it sounds like the same old
song that I keep singing, it sounds like

All these words that I accounted for
I'll never fear another day
Always charged and I want more, make me take away
All these words that I accounted for
I'll never fear another day
It makes, me, take, away

Somebody told me that I'd always have to bow
If that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more you think, the less you act their ways
So can you hear this, the fake sound of progress?

Make me smile again
Make me smile again
Make me smile again
The fake sound of progress

Monuments and melodies - Incubus

My hands are trembling
And my eyes are on fire
This house is crumbling
Left brain left out on the wire

You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph

My past is perilous
But each scar I bear sings
Monuments to where I have been
And melodies to where I am going

You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph

When will I see you again?
Still-life can only go so far
I need you in front of me
Saying my name
Saying to me, saying to me, saying to me
"I want you the way you are
You, the way you are"


You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph

You make me happy
You make me happy
You make me happy

Skin - Sixx A.M

Paint yourself a picture
Of what you wish you looked like
Maybe then they just might
Feel an ounce of your pain

Come into focus
Step out of the shadows
It's a losing battle
There's no need to be ashamed

Cause they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart

Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you've got
That you are not your skin

And when they start to judge you
Show them your true colours
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you

Just rise above this
Kill them with your kindness
Ignorance is blindness
They're the ones that stand to lose

Cause they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart

Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you've got
That you are not your skin

Well, they don't even know you
All they see is scars
And they don't see the angels
Living in your heart

So let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you've got
That you are not
You are not your skin

Nobody wins - The Veronicas

Hold your head up high
You're never wrong
Somewhere in the right, you belong
You would rather fight than walk away
What a lonely way to breathe the air
What an unlovely way to say you care
Now we're too far gone for me to save
And I never thought that we'd come to this

Maybe there's beauty in goodbye
No one's wrong or right
You would rather fight, then you walk away

There's just no reason left to try
Now it's gone too far, look at where we are
You push me away, another black day
Let's count up the reasons to cry
Look what you've missed, living like this
Nobody wins
Nobody wins

Searching for the truth in your eyes
Found myself so lost, don't recognize
The person now that you, you claim to be
Don't know when to stop, or where to start
You're just so caught up in who you are
Now you're far too high for me to see
I'd never thought that we'd come to this

Maybe there's beauty in goodbye
No one's wrong or right
You would rather fight, then you walk away

There's just no reason left to try
Now it's gone too far, look at where we are
You push me away, another black day
Let's count up the reasons to cry
Look what you've missed, living like this
Nobody wins

You never say you're sorry
Try to tell me that you love me
But don't, it's too late to take it there

Maybe there's beauty in goodbye
No one's wrong or right
You would rather fight, then you walk away

There's just no reason left to try
Now it's gone too far, look at where we are
You push me away, another black day
Let's count up the reasons to cry
Look what you've missed, living like this
Nobody wins

Now it's gone too far, look at where we are
Nobody wins

We are - Ana Johnsson

See the devil on the doorstep now, my, oh, my
Telling everybody, oh, just how to live their lives
Sliding down the information highway
Buying in just like a bunch of fools
Time is ticking and we can't go back, my, oh, my

What about the world today?
What about the place that we call home?
We’ve never been so many
And we've never been so alone

You keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are

You wash your hands and come out clean
Fail to recognise the enemies within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are, we are

One step forward making two steps back, my, oh, my
Riding piggy on the bad boys back for life
Lining up for the grand illusion
No answers for no questions asked
Lining up for the execution
Without knowing why

You keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are

You wash your hands and come out clean
Fail to recognise the enemies within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are

It’s all about power, then take control
Breaking the rule and breaking the soul
They suck us dry till there’s nothing left
My, oh, my
My, oh, my

What about the world today?
What about the place that we call home?
We've never been so many
And we've never been so alone

So alone

You keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are

You wash your hands and come out clean
You fail to recognise the enemies within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are, we are

It’s all about power, then take control
Breaking the rule and breaking the soul
They suck us dry till there’s nothing left
My, oh, my
My, oh, my

(We are)
It’s all about power
Then take control

Did you - Hoobastank

Did you say everything you could?
Do the things that you thought you would?
Did it ever occur to you that this could be your final day?
Did you go where you wanted to go?
Learn about what you wanted to know?
Did you ever really give something back instead of always taking in?

Did you find what you’re looking for?
Did you get your foot in the door?
Can you look at yourself and feel proud of all the things you’ve done?
Did you inspire the ones that you knew?
Make a difference to those who knew you?
Did you finally figure out what it is that makes us who we are today?

Don’t waste another day
You never know when you'll get one
Don’t waste another day
To do anything you haven’t done

Did you always give it your best?
Is there anything you regret?
If you could have another shot at it all
Would you do it just the same?

Was it all that you thought it could be?
Are you the person you thought you would be?
Or did it feel like you were spinning your wheels
Instead of moving forward every day?

Don’t waste another day
You never know when you'll get one
Don’t waste another day
To do anything you haven’t done

Don’t waste another day
You never know when you'll get one
Don’t waste another day
To do anything you haven’t done

Did you?
Did you?
Did you?
Did you?

Don’t waste another day
You never know when you'll get one
Don’t waste another day
To do anything you haven’t done

Don’t waste another day
You never know when you'll get one
Don’t waste another day
To do anything you haven’t done

Did you?
Did you?
Did you?
Did you?
Did you?
Did you?
Did you?
Did you?

Broken crown - Mumford & Sons

Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I'll never be your chosen one
I'll be home safe and tucked away
Well, you can't tempt me if I don't see the day

The pull on my flesh was just too strong
Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs
Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie
Cause when I opened my body I breathe in a lie

But I will not speak of your sin
There was a way out for Him
The mirror shows not
Your values are all shot

But, oh, my heart was flawed
I knew my weakness
So hold my hand
Consign me not to darkness

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fucked it all away
Now in this twilight, how dare you speak of grace?

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fucked it all away
Now in this twilight, how dare you speak of grace?

So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down
I'll never wear your broken crown
I can take the road and I can fuck it all away
But in this twilight our choices seal our fate
