Born free, as free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart
Live free, and beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star
Stay free, where no walls divide you
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide
Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
Cause you're born free
Stay free, where no walls divide you
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide
Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
Cause you're born free

Black flies - Ben Howard
Black flies on the windowsill
That we are
That we are
That we are to know
Winter stole summer's thrill
And the river's cracked and cold
See, the sky is no man's land
A darkened plume to stay
Hope here needs a humble hand
Not a fox found in your place
And no man is an island, oh, this I know
But can't you see, oh?
Maybe you were the ocean
When I was just a stone
Black flies on the windowsill
That we are
That we are
That we are to hold
Comfort came against my will
And every story must grow old
Still I'll be a traveler
A gypsy's reins to face
But the road is wearier
With that fool found in your place
And no man is an island, oh, this I know
But can't you see, oh?
Maybe you were the ocean
When I was just a stone
And no man is an island, oh, this I know
But can't you see, oh?
Maybe you were the ocean
When I was just a stone
So here we are
And I don't wanna beg your pardon
And I don't wanna ask you why
But if I was to go my own way
Would I have to pass you by?
And I don't wanna beg your pardon
And I don't wanna ask you why
But if I was to go my own way
Would I have to pass you by?
That we are
That we are
That we are to know
Winter stole summer's thrill
And the river's cracked and cold
See, the sky is no man's land
A darkened plume to stay
Hope here needs a humble hand
Not a fox found in your place
And no man is an island, oh, this I know
But can't you see, oh?
Maybe you were the ocean
When I was just a stone
Black flies on the windowsill
That we are
That we are
That we are to hold

And every story must grow old

A thousand years - Christina Perri
Heart beats fast
Colours and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Colours and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone

I'll love you for a thousand more
Bang bang bang - Christina Perri
All my life, you know, I haven't been very love strong
There's been so many fights that I fought and I never won
So I decided that I should just give up in trying to right your wrongs
And word on the street is that she did to you what you did to me
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Bang! Bang! Bang! Boy!
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang! She shot you
Karma tastes so
Bang! Bang! Bang! Boy!
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang! She shot you
Karma tastes so sweet
So unfortunately for girls like me there are more like you
Bending and breaking the rules and we're making exceptions to
But how does it feel to swim in your own tears?
You lied and you lied, and I died and I died, and now you know why
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Bang! Bang! Bang! Boy!
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang! She shot you
Karma tastes so
Bang! Bang! Bang! Boy!
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang! She shot you

To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang! She shot you

Jar of hearts - Christina Perri
I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore?
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are?
Running round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
And I've learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are?
Running round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
And who do you think you are?
Running round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
And who do you think you are?
Running round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore?
You lost the love I loved the most

Comes and goes (In waves) - Greg Laswell
This one's for the lonely
The one's that seek and find
Only to be let down time after time
This one's for the torn down
The experts at the fall
Come on friends get up now
You're not alone at all
And this part was for her
And this part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?
It comes and goes in waves
This one's for the faithless
The ones that are surprised
They're only where they are now
Regardless of their fight
This one's for believing, if only for its sake
Come on friends get up now
Love is to be made
And this part was for her
And this part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
It comes in goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
Why I, why I try
This is for the ones who stand
For the ones who try again
For the ones who need a hand
For the ones who think they can
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
Why I, why, why I fly
The one's that seek and find
Only to be let down time after time
This one's for the torn down
The experts at the fall
Come on friends get up now
You're not alone at all
And this part was for her
And this part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?
It comes and goes in waves
This one's for the faithless
The ones that are surprised
They're only where they are now
Regardless of their fight
This one's for believing, if only for its sake
Come on friends get up now
Love is to be made
And this part was for her
And this part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
It comes in goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
Why I, why I try
This is for the ones who stand
For the ones who try again
For the ones who need a hand
For the ones who think they can
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
Why I, why, why I fly
It is what it is - Lifehouse
I was only looking for a shortcut home
But it's complicated
So complicated
Somewhere in this city is a road I know
Where we could make it
But maybe there's no making it now
Too long we've been denying
Now we're both tired of trying
We hit a wall and we can't get over it
Nothing to relive
It's water under the bridge
You said it, I get it
I guess it is what it is
I was only trying to bury the pain
But I made you cry and I can't stop the crying
Was only trying to save me
But I lost you again
Now there's only lying
Wish I could say it's only me
Too long we've been denying
Now we're both tired of trying
We hit a wall and we can't get over it
Nothing to relive
It's water under the bridge
You said it, I get it
I guess it is what it is
Here it comes, ready or not
We both found out it's not how we thought
That it would be, how it would be
If the time could turn us around
What once was lost may be found
For you and me, for you and me
Too long we've been denying
Now we're both tired of trying
We hit a wall and we can't get over it
Nothing to relive
It's water under the bridge
You said it, I get it
I guess it is what it is

In your skin - Lifehouse
Throw stones, breaking bones
Then wonder why you run for cover
You fight the world from inside
Lay down, playing dead to the pages
Just another wasted day in your mind
You live to run away
But fear is the hardest act to follow
Let me let you in
Hold on another day
Face the truth, it's hard to swallow
It's time to begin
There's only one life in your skin
Wake up, take a breath
Remember why you're even breathing
You're still alive
Give it, give it up
You're the only one believing in all of your lies
You live to run away
But fear is the hardest act to follow
Let me let you in
Hold on another day
Face the truth, it's hard to swallow
It's time to begin
There's only one life in your skin
In your skin
You live to run away
But fear is the hardest act to follow
Let me let you in
Hold on another day
Face the truth, it's hard to swallow

Living in a world that's make believe
Used up, burned out, always got a hand out

You push and it pulls

Scream (Funk my life up) - Paolo Nutini
How was I to know you’d just come along?
And funk my life up
Lips like they’ve been singing sexed up strawberry songs
Just funk my life up
Never heard it coming, thought it’s just another woman
With a shotgun in her hand
Funk my life up
She’s the bass, she’s the beat, she’s the rhythm, she’s the band
Just funk my life up
And the girl, so fine
Makes you wanna scream hallelujah
Sly hands, spinning webs like silk
Beats are dripping on me, like spider milk
And I never heard the warning when I woke up this morning
With my sunshine on a drip
She’s my rock, she’s my bud, she’s tequila, she’s a trip
And that girl, so fine
Makes you wanna scream hallelujah
How can I refuse?
I’m not fit to chose
Just funk my life up
I said the only way I win is the way I lose
Just funk my life up
And I never got the script, I unzipped
Got a little bit of wet up in my brain
She’s your church, she’s your sin, she’s atomic, she’s the, oh, she’s the rain
And the girl, so fine you wanna scream
She gets me silly, she’s like a trick on me
Hell, I don’t even know her name but yet she sticks to me
And in the climax she would scream with me
Yeah, she sticks to me
She gets me funny, she doesn’t want none of my money
So I pour it over her like gasoline
Light a match and then I’m back in my teens
Me and super girl smoking my green
Me and super girl smoking my green
Unload, reload, eyes back swinging
Sweet thing, knows things, Jeff Beck sings
Roundhouse, going down, let’s go
And the girl so fine makes you wanna scream hallelujah, hallelujah
Yeah, the girl, so fine, you wanna scream
And funk my life up
Lips like they’ve been singing sexed up strawberry songs
Just funk my life up
Never heard it coming, thought it’s just another woman
With a shotgun in her hand
Funk my life up
She’s the bass, she’s the beat, she’s the rhythm, she’s the band
Just funk my life up
And the girl, so fine
Makes you wanna scream hallelujah
Sly hands, spinning webs like silk
Beats are dripping on me, like spider milk

Stop the world I wanna get off with you - Arctic Monkeys
Open Sesame
We've places to goWe've people to see
Let's put 'em on hold
There's all sorts of shapes that I bet you can make
When you had to escape, say the word
Well, I know that getting you alone isn't easy to do
But with the exception of you I dislike everyone in the room
And I don't wanna lie but I don't wanna tell you the truth
Get the sense that you're on the move and you'll probably be leaving soon
So I'm telling you
Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you
Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you
Eyes the colour of
Water left in mud
Ice and sugar dust
Crazy green flashes
It's a funny thing that I cannot explain
Don't you know the train keeps rolling
Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you
Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you
Well, I know that getting you alone isn't easy to do
And I don't wanna lie and I don't wanna tell you the truth
And I know we got places to go, we got people to see
Think we both ought put 'em on hold and I know you agree
Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you

Trying - Lifehouse
Could you let down your hair?
Be transparent for awhile, just a little while
To see if you're human after all
Honesty is a hard attribute to find
When we all want to seem like
We've got it all figured out
Well, let me be the first to say that I don't have a clue
I don't have all the answers
Ain't gonna pretend like I do
Just trying to find my way
Trying to find my way the best I know how
Well, I haven't memorized all of the cute things to say
But I'm working on it
Maybe I'll master this art form someday
If I quote all the lines off the top of my head
Would you believe
That I fully understand all these things I've read?
I'm just trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
Trying to find my way the best that I know how
Well, I haven't got it all figured out quite yet
But even if it takes my whole life to get to where I need to be
And if I should fall to the bottom of the end
I'll be one step back to you, and
I'm trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
I'm trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
Be transparent for awhile, just a little while
To see if you're human after all
Honesty is a hard attribute to find
When we all want to seem like
We've got it all figured out
Well, let me be the first to say that I don't have a clue
I don't have all the answers
Ain't gonna pretend like I do
Just trying to find my way
Trying to find my way the best I know how
Well, I haven't memorized all of the cute things to say
But I'm working on it

If I quote all the lines off the top of my head
Would you believe
That I fully understand all these things I've read?
I'm just trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
Trying to find my way the best that I know how
Well, I haven't got it all figured out quite yet
But even if it takes my whole life to get to where I need to be
And if I should fall to the bottom of the end
I'll be one step back to you, and
I'm trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
I'm trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
Hanging by a moment - Lifehouse
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
Just hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment here with you
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started

War Pt. II - Former Vandal
Rest easy, fearless warrior
You can sleep now, you can finally calm your bones
Breathe easy, noble savior
Only human, still more valiant than us all
Nobody ever said that victory came without casualties
They say the good die young, but they never really tell you that they never die alone
We all fall down, bury a bit of our souls six feet underground
If you die, then we die with you
Save me, I think we ran out of time
You said you’d come for me when the world swallowed me whole
Well, the war is over
And there are fallen soldiers
Rest easy, loyal confidant
We are hollow, we are empty, but we have to carry on
Sleep softly, gentle defender
Cause I will die fighting for the fight you died for
Nobody ever said that victory came without casualties
They say the good die young, but they never really tell you that they never die alone
We all fall down, bury a bit of our souls six feet underground
If you die, then we die with you
Save me, I think we ran out of time
You said you’d come for me when the world swallowed me whole
Well, the war is over
And there are fallen soldiers
Hold me, tell me life is but a dream
Hold me, tell me life is but a dream
Well, the war is over
Hold me, tell me life is but a dream
And there are fallen soldiers
Hold me, tell me life is but a dream
Hold me, tell me life is but a dream
I will always be waiting for you, love
I will always be waiting for you, love
If you die through me, die with you (?)
You can sleep now, you can finally calm your bones
Breathe easy, noble savior
Only human, still more valiant than us all
Nobody ever said that victory came without casualties

Hold me, tell me life is but a dream
Hold me, tell me life is but a dream
I will always be waiting for you, love
I will always be waiting for you, love
If you die through me, die with you (?)
War - Former Vandal
You run, like the letters on these pages
I'm not sick, but still so far away from sane
Nightmares, but I haven't slept in ages
The battles won, but there's still poison in our veins
We've lost control, anything but gently down the stream
Hold me close, hold me, tell me life is but a dream
Save me, I think I'm losing my mind
You said you'd come for me when the world swallow me whole
Well, this is war
Save me now, cause the battle’s won but the war is still to fight
You said you'd come for me when the world swallow me whole
Well, this is war
Well, this is war
You breathe like your lungs aren't full of matches
Every careful word you speak has a chance of sparking fire
As I hope I can sleep straight through the madness
But I can't even tell when I'm sleeping anymore
We've lost control, anything but gently down the stream
Hold me close, hold me, tell me life is but a dream
Save me, I think I'm losing my mind
You said you'd come for me when the world swallow me whole
Well, this is war
Save me, cause the battle’s won but the war is still to fight
You said you'd come for me when the world swallow me whole
Well, this is war
Let the darkness come for me
Let it try to steal my soul
As if I had a soul to steal
Let the darkness come for me
Let it try to steal my soul
As if I had a soul to steal
Let the darkness come for me
Let it try to steal my soul
As if I had a soul to steal
Hold me, tell me life is but a dream
Save me, I think I'm losing my mind
You said you'd come for me when the world swallow me whole
Well, this is war
Save me, cause the battle’s won but the war is still to fight
You said you'd come for me when the world swallow me whole
Well, this is
This is war
Well, this is war

The frog prince - Keane
An old fairytale told me
The simple heart will be prized again
A toad will be our king
And ugly ogres are heroes
Then you'll shake
Your fist at the sky
"Oh, why did I rely
On fashions and small fry?"
All promises broken
Feed your people or lose your throne
And forfeit your whole kingdom
I'd sooner lose it than still live in it alone
You were our golden child
But the gentle and the mild
Inherit the earth, while
Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go, brother, let go
Cause now we all know
Soon, someone will put a spell on you
Perfume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know
You will lie in a deep sleep
That's when
Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go, brother, let go
Cause now we all know
The simple heart will be prized again
A toad will be our king
And ugly ogres are heroes
Then you'll shake
Your fist at the sky
"Oh, why did I rely
On fashions and small fry?"
All promises broken
Feed your people or lose your throne
And forfeit your whole kingdom
I'd sooner lose it than still live in it alone
You were our golden child
But the gentle and the mild
Inherit the earth, while
Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go, brother, let go
Cause now we all know
Soon, someone will put a spell on you
Perfume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know
You will lie in a deep sleep
That's when
Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go, brother, let go
Cause now we all know
And the world was gone - Snow Ghosts
You said you'd wait forever
But I blinked
And the world was gone
You wade through the water
Slowly your hands grow numb
I wish you felt me falling
I wish you'd watched over me
You said you'd wait forever
But I blinked
And the world was gone
And the world was gone
And the world was gone
I run through your head
Loud with a nightmare
Brushing your skin with my breathing
Turn out the light
And every nightlight
Run, you can run, you can run
I blink and the world was gone
I blink and the world was gone
I blink and the world was gone
You said you'd wait forever
But I blinked
And the world was gone
You wade through the water
Slowly your hands grow numb
I wish you felt me falling
I wish you'd watch over me
You said you'd wait forever
But I blinked
And the world was gone
And the world was gone
And the world was gone
But I blinked
And the world was gone
You wade through the water
Slowly your hands grow numb
I wish you felt me falling
I wish you'd watched over me
You said you'd wait forever
But I blinked
And the world was gone
And the world was gone
And the world was gone
I run through your head
Loud with a nightmare
Brushing your skin with my breathing
Turn out the light
And every nightlight
Run, you can run, you can run
I blink and the world was gone
I blink and the world was gone
I blink and the world was gone
You said you'd wait forever
But I blinked
And the world was gone
You wade through the water
Slowly your hands grow numb
I wish you felt me falling
I wish you'd watch over me
You said you'd wait forever
But I blinked
And the world was gone
And the world was gone
And the world was gone

The war was in color - Carbon Leaf
I see you've found a box of my things
Infantries, tanks and smoldering airplane wings
“These old pictures are cool, tell me some stories
Was it like the old war movies?”
Sit down, son, let me fill you in
Where to begin?
Let's start with the end
This black and white photo don't capture the skin
From the flash of a gun to a soldier who's done
Trust me, grandson
The war was in color
From shipyard to sea, from factory to sky
From rivet to rifle, from boot camp to battle cry
I wore the mask up high on a daylight run
That held my face in its clammy hand
Crawled over coconut logs and corpses in the coral sand
Where to begin?
Let's start with the end
This black and white photo don't capture the skin
From the shock of a shell or the memory of smell
If red is for hell
The war was in color
I held the canvas bag over the railing
The dead released, with the ship still sailing
Out of our hands and into the swallowing sea
I felt the crossfire stitching up soldiers
Into a blanket of dead, and as the night grows colder
In a window back home, a blue star is traded for gold
Where to begin?
Let's start with the end
This black and white photo don't capture the skin
When metal is churned. And bodies are burned
Victory earned
The war was in color
Now I lay in my grave at age 21
Long before you were born
Before I bore a son
What good did it do?
Well, hopefully for you
A world without war
A life full of color
Where to begin?
Let's start with the end
This black and white photo never captured my skin
Once it was torn from an enemy thorn
Straight through the core
The war was in color
Where to begin?
Let's start with the end
This black and white photo never captured my skin
From the flash of a gun to a soldier who's done
Trust me, grandson
The war was in color
Trust me, grandson
The war was in color
Trust me, grandson

I hope you find it - Cher
These clouds aren't going nowhere, darling
Rain keeps coming down
I just thought I'd try to call you
For you got too far out of town
And I hope that you get this message that I'm leaving for you
Cause I'd hate that you left without hearing the words that I needed you to
And I hope you find it
What you're looking for
I hope it's everything you dreamed your life could be
And so much more
And I hope you're happy, wherever you are
I wanted you to know that
And nothing's gonna change that
I hope you find it
Am I supposed to hang around and wait forever?
Last words that I said
But that was nothing but a broken heart talking, darling
You know it wasn't what I meant
Call me up, let me know that you got this message that I'm leaving for you
Cause I'd hate that you left without hearing the words that I needed you to
And I hope you find it
What you're looking for
I hope it's everything you dreamed your life could be
And so much more
And I hope you're happy, wherever you are
I wanted you to know that
And nothing's gonna change that
I hope you find it
Whatever it is out there that you were missing here
Well, I hope you find it
What you're looking for
I hope it's everything you dreamed your life could be
And so much more
And I hope you're happy wherever you are
I wanted you to know that
And nothing's gonna change that
I hope you find it
I hope you find it

How long will I love you - Ellie Goulding
How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I can
How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan
How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand
How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to
And longer by far
How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you
As long as you can
How long will I give to you?
As long as I live through you
However long you say
How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I may
How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I can
How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan
How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand
How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to
And longer by far
How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you
As long as you can
How long will I give to you?
As long as I live through you
However long you say
How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I may
How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you

All that I am - Rob Thomas
I am the one winged bird for flying
Sinking quickly to the ground
See your faith in me subsiding
See you prime for giving in
I give you all that I am
I am the sound of love's arriving
Echoed softly on the sand
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Lay your hand within my hand
I give you all that I am
And I breathe where you breathe
Let me stand where you stand
With all that I am
I am the white dove for a soldier
Ever marching as to war
I would give my life to save you
I stand guarding at your door
I give you all that I am
I am the one winged bird for flying
Sinking quickly to the ground
I’m a blind man for a watchdog
I am prime for giving in
I'll show you all that I am
And I breathe so you breathe
Let me stand so you'll stand
With all that I am
And I breathe where you breathe
Let me stand where you stand
And I breathe so you breathe
Let me stand so you'll stand
With all that I am
Sinking quickly to the ground
See your faith in me subsiding
See you prime for giving in
I give you all that I am
I am the sound of love's arriving
Echoed softly on the sand
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Lay your hand within my hand
I give you all that I am
And I breathe where you breathe
Let me stand where you stand
With all that I am
I am the white dove for a soldier
Ever marching as to war
I would give my life to save you
I stand guarding at your door
I give you all that I am
I am the one winged bird for flying
Sinking quickly to the ground
I’m a blind man for a watchdog
I am prime for giving in

And I breathe so you breathe
Let me stand so you'll stand
With all that I am
And I breathe where you breathe
Let me stand where you stand
And I breathe so you breathe
Let me stand so you'll stand
With all that I am

Wolf - First Aid Kid
Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devil's maker
Let me hear you sing
Wolf father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shapeshifter
Let me see you run
Holy light, oh, burn the night
Oh, keep the spirits strong
Watch it grow, child of wolf
Keep holding on
When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set, trees were dead and the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace
Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devil's maker
Let me hear you say
Wolf father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shapeshifter
Let me see you run
Wayward winds
The voice that sings of a forgotten land
See it fall, child of wolf
Lend a mending hand
When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set, trees were dead and the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devil's maker
Let me hear you sing
Wolf father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shapeshifter

Little black submarines
Operator, please
Put me back on the line
Told my girl I'd be back
Operator, please
This is wrecking my mind
Oh, can it be
The voices calling me?
They get lost
And out of time
I should've seen it glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
Pick you up, let you down
When I wanna go
To a place I can hide
You know me, I had plans
But they just disappeared
To the back of my mind
Oh, can it be
The voices calling me?
They get lost
And out of time
I should've seen a glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
Treasure maps, fallen trees
Operator, please
Call me back when it's time
Stolen friends and disease
Operator, please
Patch me back to my mind
Oh, can it be
The voices calling me?
They get lost
And out of time
I should've seen a glow

Fire escape - Civil Twilight
We are the desperate ones, looking for the mark
We are the lonely ones, left out here in the dark
We bought our tickets, but we don't have a seat
And now we are just slaves to the beat
We are the tired ones, tired of too much sleep
Tired of searching for the words we can't repeat
Don't mean to scare you, but it's getting too warm
And I think I'm gonna move to the door
You see, we are burning
This is real
We're on fire but we can't feel a thing
We were promised more than we can take
Everybody out of the fire escape
Gather around my friends
Let's try not to pretend
There is a war between the cold out there and the fire within
I know that we're alive, I know that we can dive
Right into the thick of it
You see, we are burning
This is real
We are on fire but we can’t feel a thing
We were promised more than we can take
Everybody out of the fire escape
I don't wanna fill my body
With drugs I can't even name
I'm tired of feeling the same
I wanna feel something
We are burning
This is real
We're on fire, don't you feel?
We were made to be more than inches away
Everybody out of the fire escape
We are burning,
This is real
We are on fire but we can’t feel a thing
We were promised more than we can take
Everybody out of the fire escape
We are the lonely ones, left out here in the dark
We bought our tickets, but we don't have a seat
And now we are just slaves to the beat
We are the tired ones, tired of too much sleep
Tired of searching for the words we can't repeat
Don't mean to scare you, but it's getting too warm
And I think I'm gonna move to the door
You see, we are burning
This is real
We're on fire but we can't feel a thing
We were promised more than we can take
Everybody out of the fire escape
Gather around my friends
Let's try not to pretend
There is a war between the cold out there and the fire within
I know that we're alive, I know that we can dive
Right into the thick of it
You see, we are burning
This is real
We are on fire but we can’t feel a thing
We were promised more than we can take
Everybody out of the fire escape
I don't wanna fill my body
With drugs I can't even name
I'm tired of feeling the same
I wanna feel something
We are burning
This is real
We're on fire, don't you feel?
We were made to be more than inches away
Everybody out of the fire escape
We are burning,
This is real
We are on fire but we can’t feel a thing
We were promised more than we can take
Everybody out of the fire escape
Eat you alive - The Oh Hellos
He said to me
Child, I'm afraid for your soul
These things that you're after
They can't be controlled
This beast that you're after will eat you alive
And spit out your bones
She'll string you along and she'll sell you a lie
But there's nothing but pain on the edge of a knife
There is no courage in flirting with fear
To prove you're alive
I've seen the true face of the things you call life
The voice of the siren that holds your desires
But Death, she is cunning, and clever as hell
And she'll eat you alive
Oh, she'll eat you alive
Child, I'm afraid for your soul
These things that you're after
They can't be controlled
This beast that you're after will eat you alive
And spit out your bones
She'll string you along and she'll sell you a lie
But there's nothing but pain on the edge of a knife
There is no courage in flirting with fear
To prove you're alive
I've seen the true face of the things you call life
The voice of the siren that holds your desires
But Death, she is cunning, and clever as hell
And she'll eat you alive
Oh, she'll eat you alive
Like the dawn - The Oh Hellos
I was sleeping in the garden when I saw you first
He'd put me deep, deep under so that he could work
And like the dawn you broke the dark and my whole earth shook
I was sleeping in the garden when I saw you
At last, at last
Bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh, at last
You were the brightest shade of sun I had ever seen
Your skin was gilded with the gold of the richest kings
And like the dawn you woke the world inside of me
You were the brightest shade of sun when I saw you
At last
And you will surely be the death of me
But how could I have known?
He'd put me deep, deep under so that he could work
And like the dawn you broke the dark and my whole earth shook
I was sleeping in the garden when I saw you
At last, at last
Bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh, at last
You were the brightest shade of sun I had ever seen
Your skin was gilded with the gold of the richest kings
And like the dawn you woke the world inside of me
You were the brightest shade of sun when I saw you
At last
And you will surely be the death of me
But how could I have known?
