It's been awhile - Staind

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day

And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be, I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry

Early sunsets over Monroeville - My Chemical Romance

Late dawns and early sunsets
Just like my favorite scenes
Then holding hands and life was perfect
Just like up on the screen
And the whole time while always giving
Counting your face among the living

Up and down escalators
Pennies and colder fountains
Elevators and half price sales
Trapped in by all these mountains
Running away and hiding with you
I never thought they'd get me here
Not knowing you'd change from just one bite
I fought them all off just to hold you close and tight

But does anyone notice?
But does anyone care?
And if I had the guts to put this to your head
But would anything matter if you're already dead?
And well, should I be shocked now by the last thing you said?
Before I pull this trigger
Your eyes vacant and stained

But does anyone notice?
But does anyone care?
And if I had the guts to put this to your head
And would anything matter if you're already dead?
And now should I be shocked by the last thing you said?
Before I pull this trigger
Your eyes vacant and stained

And in saying you loved me
Made things harder at best
And these words changing nothing
As your body remains
And there's no room in this hell
There's no room in the next
And our memories defeat us
And I'll end this direst

But does anyone notice?
But does anyone care?
And if I had the guts to put this to your head
But does anything matter if you're already dead?
And should I be shocked now by the last thing you said?
Before I pull this trigger
Your eyes vacant and stained

And in saying you loved me
Made things harder at best
And these words changing nothing
As your body remain
And there's no room in this hell
There's no room in the next
But does anyone notice there's a corpse in this bed?

Helena - My Chemical Romance

Long ago
Just like the hearse
You die to get in again
We are so far from you

Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take
From every heart you break?
And like the blade you stain
Well, I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst thing I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take
From every heart you break?
And like the blade you stain
Well, I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst thing I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave?
And then we'll meet again
When both our cars collide

What's the worst thing I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

Sing for absolution - Muse

Lips are turning blue
A kiss that can't renew
I only dream of you
My beautiful

Tiptoe to your room
A starlight in the gloom
I only dream of you
And you never knew

Sing for absolution
I will be singing
And falling from your grace

There's nowhere left to hide
In no one to confide
The truth burns deep inside
And will never die

Lips are turning blue
A kiss that can't renew
I only dream of you
My beautiful

Sing for absolution
I will be singing
Falling from your grace

Sing for absolution
I will be singing
Falling from your grace

Our wrongs remain un-rectified
And our souls won't be exhumed

Hero - Chad Kroeger feat. Josey Scott

I am so high, I can hear heaven
I am so high, I can hear heaven
Oh, but heaven, no heaven don't hear me

And they say that a hero can save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away

Someone told me that love would all save us
But how can that be?
Look what love gave us
A world full of killing, and blood-spilling
That world never came

And they say that a hero can save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away

Now that the world isn't ending
It's love that I'm sending to you
It isn't the love of a hero
That's why I fear it won't do

And they say that a hero can save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away

And they're watching us
They're watching us as we all fly away
And they're watching us
They're watching us as we all fly away
And they're watching us
They're watching us as we all fly away

Look what you've done - Jet

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to prove

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Give me back my point of view
Cause I just can't think for you
I can hardly hear you say
“What should I do?”, well, you choose

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to do

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

Wherever you will go - The Calling

So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face

If a great wave shall fall
It'd fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own?

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe, I'll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days

If a great wave shall fall
It'd fall upon us all
Well, I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go

I'll go wherever you will go

Hot/Cold (Darling, don't) - Strata

You said your hope was lost
My eyes were stinging hot
The first of the tears to fall
Hurts the worst of all
I had it all planned out
What I was going to say
But then that lump in my throat
Stole my words away

Darling, if nothing else
I know that this is true
I'd have nobody if I don't have you
But you said your hope was lost
My eyes were stinging hot
The first of the tears to fall

Have you given too much away?
Are you giving us up?
Did the going get tough this time?
Don't give up on us

I said, “Look at the map on the wall
Put your fingers on where we are
No matter where I go we're just an inch apart”

You interrupted and said, “Not that old speech again
If we're just an inch apart
Then reach out and grab my hand”


Have you given too much away?
Are you giving us up?
Did the going get tough this time?
Don't give up on us, don't give up

I know that this is true
At least it used to be
You'd have nobody if you don't have me
And didn't we say forever?
Didn't I promise you?
Didn't we say forever?

Darling, don't
Darling, don't
Don’t, don’t
We didn't come this far
Just to throw it all away

Have you given too much, darling?
Are you giving us up?
Did the going get tough this time?
Don't give up on us

Have you given too much away?
Are you giving us up?
Are you giving us up?
Did the going get tough this time?
Don't give up on us

Black hearts (On fire) - Jet

When I make it I'll be on time
Gonna take what I want
And give you a piece of my mind

Your black heart's waited too long
Just to see me fall down
Fall down, fall down
Your black heart's won't be around
Just to see me fall down

Your heart's on fire, so come on burn brighter
Your heart's on fire, so come on burn brighter

Your heart's on fire but you're cold to the touch
I know you want it but you love yourself too much
Your heart's on fire but your head is a rut
You best believe it, I ain't ever giving up

When I make it I'll be on time
Well, you might say I'm crazy
But oh, oh, I'm out of my mind

Well, excuse me, black hearts
Will you tell me who's up and who is down?
Are you waiting for me to fall down?

Your heart's on fire, so come on burn brighter
Your heart's on fire, so come on burn brighter

Your heart's on fire but you're cold to the touch
I know you want it but you love yourself too much
Your heart's on fire but your head is a rut
You best believe it, I ain't ever giving up

So come on, come on, come on, hey

Your heart's on fire but you're cold to the touch
I know you want it but you love yourself too much
Your heart's on fire but your head is a rut
You best believe it, I ain't ever giving up

Weights & measures - Dry The River

You've made your decision
Now get up and leave
The familiar sting of the woodcutter's swing to the tree

I'll fall in the forest
To elbows and knees
And it won't make a sound
Since there's no-one around here to see

I was prepared to love you
And never expect anything of you

If the spirit has left you, baby
Don't lie to yourself
Put them old records on
And admit that it's gone somewhere else

And just because we're beasts of blame by nature
Doesn't mean that you should carry it again
It's a question of needs and not rosary beads in the end

I was prepared to love you
And never expect anything of you
There's no patron saint of silent restraint
Baby, there ain't no sword in our lake
Just a funeral wake

You were the coldest star in the sky
Only I couldn't see it; I was blind

And in comes the black night
Calling your name since you were born
Only I couldn't hear it; I was empty as a drum

I was prepared to love you
And never expect anything of you
There's no patron saint of silent restraint
Baby, there ain't no sword in our lake
There ain't no sword in our lake
There ain't no sword in our lake
Just a funeral wake

She's a genius - Jet

My girl is ready to take control
She just blows my mind
She only listens to the radio to see who's alive

She wakes up scared of getting old
She don't feel no shame
She knows so many pretty boys
But they are all the same

They said, “Oh, hey there girl
Tell me, what do you do?”

She says, “Um, nothing
But I'm damn sure it's more than you”


That girl is a genius
I think she's serious

If what you know is who you are
Then she's everything
You don't need an education
To know the class that you're in

They said, “Hey there girl
Tell me, what do you do?”

She says, “Nothing
But I'm damn sure it's more than you”


That girl is a genius
I think she's serious
That girl is a genius
I think she's serious

She said, “Hey there boy, come on over and sit
Love is when you wanna kiss and you get bit”


That girl is a genius
I think she's serious
That girl is a genius
I think she's serious

That girl is a genius
That girl is a genius
That girl is a genius

Cocaine (We're all going to hell) - Strata

She draws the costume correct
In thick black and red eyeliner
She's too young for the club
But the guys at the door don't mind her
The boys are all lining up
For their chance to wine and dine her
She thinks she's working the scene
But she's caught up in a web full of spiders
(And all the drinks they buy her)

She don't like cocaine, baby
Just likes how it smells, says
“Maybe you can drive me home if you want”

She don't like cocaine, baby
Just likes how it smells, says
“Maybe you can drive me home if you want”

Then you wake up beside her saying
“Baby, I think you should leave”
She had a really rough night
She got too high, now she can't breathe
And if the ambulance comes
You know they're gonna bring the police
So you wrap her up tight
Put her to sleep beneath a willow tree
And your hands are clean

She don't like cocaine, baby
Just likes how it smells, says
“Maybe you can drive me home if you want”

She don't like cocaine, baby
Just likes how it smells, says
“Maybe you can drive me home if you want”

She don't like cocaine, baby
Just likes how it smells, says
“Maybe you can drive me home if you want”

She don't like cocaine, baby
Just likes how it smells, says
“Maybe you can drive me home”

So go out and have your fun tonight
You might as well go out and raise your glass to life
Go out and have your fun tonight
You might as well go out and raise your drinks to life
Cause we're all going to Hell

And so now we can see how easily we become
Hopelessly tangled up in the very webs we've spun.
So give me one last line and I promise you I'm done
This is the story of how one night can weigh a ton

She don't like cocaine, baby
Just likes how it smells, says
“Maybe you can drive me home if you want”

She don't like cocaine, baby
Just likes how it smells, says
“Maybe you can drive me home if you want”

She don't like cocaine, baby
Just likes how it smells, says
“Maybe you can drive me home if you want”

She don't like cocaine
She don't like cocaine

I will breathe fire - Strata

I am just a needle in your arm
I am just the skin around a scar
I am like a pill to help you heal
I was only trying to make you feel something

I will breathe fire
Never stop to think about myself
I'll just keep holding on
To everything for everybody else

You wasted every chance you ever had
So when did you give up and grow so sad?
You know that I can't push the world aside
If only I could stop and turn back time
I would

I will breathe fire
Never stop to think about myself
I'll just keep holding on
To everything for everybody else

You are watching the fall of an empire
Send the soldiers home
And as the flags come down
A new king is crowned

Woke up on a beach
I stared at the blue
And I watched the waves
Come and overtake you

I will breathe fire
Never stop to think about myself
I'll just keep holding on
Never stop to think about myself

I will breathe fire
Never stop to think about myself
I'll just keep holding on
To everything for everybody else

Never stop to think about myself

Needing/Getting - Ok Go

I've been waiting for months
Waiting for years
Waiting for you to change
Aw, but there ain't much that's dumber
There ain't much that's dumber
Than pinning your hopes on a change in another
And I, yeah, I still need you
But what good's that gonna do?
Needing is one thing
And getting, getting’s another

So I been sitting around
Wasting my time
Wondering what you been doing
Aw, and it ain't real forgiving
It ain't real forgiving
Sitting here picturing someone else living
And I, yeah, I still need you
But what good's that gonna do?
Needing is one thing
And getting, getting’s another

I've been hoping for months
Hoping for years
Hoping I might forget
Aw, but it don't get much dumber
It don't get much dumber
Than trying to forget a girl when you love her
And I, yeah, I still need you
But what good's that gonna do?
Needing is one thing
And getting, getting’s another

When?
When?
Why not now?
Why not me?
Why not me?

A million ways - Ok Go

Sit back, matter of fact
Teasing, toying, turning, chatting
Charming, hissing, playing the crowd
Play that song again
Another couple Klonopin
A nod, a glance, a half-hearted bow
Oh such grace, oh such beauty
And lipstick and callous and fishnets and malice

Oh darling, you're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel

I should, I wish I could
Maybe if you were, I would
A list of standard-issue regrets
One last 80 proof, slouching in the corner booth
Baby, it's as good as it gets
Oh such grace, oh such beauty
So precious, suspicious, and charming, and vicious

Oh darling, you're a million ways
Oh darling, you're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel

Oh darling, oh darling, you're a million ways
Oh darling, oh darling, you're a million ways
Oh darling, oh darling, you're a million ways to be

You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be, cruel
You're a million ways to be, cruel
You're a million ways to be

Oh darling, you're a million ways to be cruel

Love and memories - O.A.R. (Of A Revolution)

Lovely, you're always lovely
A vision
You were the one
Now I am stuck inside a memory
You forgot about our destiny
You buried me
Didn't you?
Didn't you?

Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound

You're always floating
A vapor
That I couldn't see
Here I am stuck inside a yesterday
Everything has given way
You fell from me
Didn't you?
Didn't you?

Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound

Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drown in love and memories

Maybe I am a crowded mind
I watch your eyes glaze over
Stared down at the floor
You were amazing to me
I was amazing to you
But here we go again

Didn't you
Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound

Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound

Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drown in love and memories

When I finally get my own place - Aqualung

When I finally get my own place
The walls will be white
When I finally get my own place
I will stay up every night and it will be quiet
When I finally get my own place
I'll sit on the stairs
When I finally get my own place
It will have windows that will weep
A garden I will weed
And fish I won't feed

You don't need to be lonely
You don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you're living for
You just knock on my door
When I, when I

When I finally get my own place
I'll fly into a rage and lock myself out
And after hours of whispering through the keyhole
I will let myself back into your arms

You don't need to be lonely
You don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you're living for
You don't need to be sure
You just knock on my door

Will you love me?
And you'll hold me
And you'll open up to let me in
But I will leave you in the end
I will leave you in the end

When I finally get my own place
However low I go, I won't say a word
Let the floor come up to meet me
Walls collapse to keep me
It's the only way

You don't need to be lonely
You don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you're living for
You don't need to be lonely
You don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you're living for
You just knock on my door
You don't need to be sure

When I, when I

Running up that hill (cover) - Placebo

It doesn't hurt me
You wanna feel how it feels?
You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
You wanna hear about the deal I'm making?

You be running up that hill
You and me be running up that hill

And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
If I only could

You don't want to hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder
There is thunder in our hearts, baby
So much hate for the ones we love
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?

You, be running up that hill
You and me, be running up that hill
You and me won't be unhappy

And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
If I only could

C'mon, baby, c'mon, c'mon, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling
Let's exchange the experience

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God
Get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

If I only could,
Make a deal with God
Get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill
If I only could, be running up that hill

Bedroom - Daphne Loves Derby

Show me something good that’s still worth fighting for
I’m not quite sure how you survive the storms inside of your soul
And ever since the start of this I turn to you
When I need something more than this empty road that I follow

So can I just hold on to you tonight?
So can I just hold on to you and make this right?
I take a part what is left and leave it
I’ve come to see that I’ll never make it
On my own

I can’t imagine all the things that haunt your head when you lay in bed
And you try to find a reason to stay here
Ever since the start of this I never knew the right thing to say to you
The right way to help you through

So can I just hold on to you tonight?
So can I just hold on to you and make this right?
I take a part what is left and leave it
I've come to see that I’ll never make it
On my own

Hey, I know it’s hard for you to believe
But if you leave I’ll lose everything I really need
Everything that helps me breathe
Hey, I know you're barely hanging on
But even with your weathered heart
I know you'll walk into the storm ahead of me

So can I just hold on to you tonight?
Can I just hold on to you and make this right?
So can I just hold on to you tonight?
Can I just hold on to you and make this right?
I take a part what is left and leave it
I've come to see that I’ll never make it
On my own
On my own

Before it started - Tyrone Wells

Watching you from a distance
Beautiful from afar
Watching you watching me
Can you see my scars?

Dressing up in broken armor
I'm trying not to fall apart
I think I am afraid to see
How fragile we are

Like life when it shatters
Like hope when it matters

I know you never meant to hurt me
You don't even know you broke my heart
I can't see past it, I can't let it go

I never found the words to tell you
Before I had the courage you were gone
I can't see past it, I can't let it go

I hear you when the world is silent
You're coming through crystal clear
I hear you and I know you hear me
Somewhere, somewhere

Where the wall gives way to the water flowing
Through the cracks and the veins 'til the path starts showing
How fragile we are

Like life when it shatters
Like hope when it matters

I know you never meant to hurt me
You don't even know you broke my heart
I can't see past it, I can't let it go

I never found the words to tell you
Before I had the courage you were gone
I can't see past it

It was over before it started
You were gone before you came
I was lost before you found me
Now I'm lost, I'm lost again

I know you never meant to hurt me
You don't even know you broke my heart
I can't see past it, I can't let it go

I never found the words to tell you
Before I had the courage you were gone
I can't see past it, I can't let it go

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

I can’t see past it
I can’t let it go
I can’t see past it
I can’t let it go

In between the lines - Tyrone Wells

Another stop sign, another headline
Another broken song
Learning the labels, lessons and fables
I forgot

Under the surface, lost in the verses
There is a rising tide
We're trying to rescue the meaning
If only for tonight

In between the lines and the boulevards
Underneath the sky chasing who we are
Wanting more before it slips away

Screaming to the stars just to feel alive
Maybe one more chance and we'll get it right
I won't believe, that all these days
And all these dreams were only meant to fade
Meant to fade

Zero to sixty, running on empty
Tell me what have we become
Haunted by secrets
Shadows and demons hide the sun

But out of the darkness
Don't care what they call this
I won't let you down this time

In between the lines and the boulevards
Underneath the sky chasing who we are
Wanting more before it slips away

Screaming to the stars just to feel alive
Maybe one more chance and we'll get it right
I won't believe, that all these days
And all these dreams were only meant to fade

In between the lines
And underneath the sky
Screaming at the stars
Just to feel alive, just to feel alive

We're trying to rescue the meaning
To do more than just survive
We're dying to capture the feeling
If only for tonight

In between the lines and the boulevards
Underneath the sky chasing who we are
Wanting more before it slips away

Screaming to the stars just to feel alive
Maybe one more chance and we'll get it right
I won't believe, that all these days
And all these dreams were only meant to fade
Meant to fade
Only meant to fade

In between the lines
And underneath the sky
Screaming at the stars
Just to feel alive, just to feel alive

Sink or swim - Tyrone Wells

Caught in the middle of a crossfire
Lost my balance on a high wire
Trying to figure out what to do

Pushed to the edge of my reason
Everywhere around me it's treason
I don't want to do that to you

Kamikaze airplanes in the sky
Are we going down or will we fly?
This could be a shipwreck on the shore
Or we could sail away forevermore
This time it's sink or swim
Sink or swim

Hearing the song in your laughter
A melody I chase after
No one else has done this to me

Kamikaze airplanes in the sky
Are we going down or will we fly?
This could be a shipwreck on the shore
Or we could sail away forevermore
This time it's sink or swim

Take a deep breath
No more time left
This is what I thought I wanted
Why am I afraid?

Kamikaze airplanes in the sky
Are we going down or will we fly?
This could be a shipwreck on the shore
Or we could sail away forevermore

Kamikaze airplanes in the sky
Are we going down or will we fly?
This could be a shipwreck on the shore
Or we could sail away forevermore
This time it's sink or swim
Sink or swim

Remain - Tyrone Wells

You feel the earth shake
You've never felt safe
Nothing stays the same at all

I will remain
When everything changes
And you think of the faces
That all slipped away
I will remain

Afraid of the let down
You say I won't stick around
You say people are made of
Glass and dust

But I will
I will remain
I will remain
I will remain
Feel my hands on your face

Look to the north star
See where the canyons are
Rest your head on my heart
Endlessly

I will remain
When everything changes
This truth will stay ageless
I'll carve my name

I will
I will remain
I will remain
I will remain
Feel my hands on your face

I will remain
I will remain
I will remain
Feel my hands on your face
Feel my hands on your face
Feel my hands on your face

Together - Tyrone Wells

There are places
We have been and where we will go
Open spaces
When we get there, we will know

Take my hand now
Walk with me into the unknown
I guarantee you
We will never be alone

Together, together, together
Until the end
Together, together, together
Until the end

Let's explore this
World of wonder as we are led
We are free to
Just embrace the steps ahead

Together, together, together
Until the end
Together, together, together
Until the end

Together, together, together
Until the end
Together, together, together
Until the end

Change my name - Trading Yesterday

I haven't seen the sun in seven days
I can't remember when I saw your face
But I still believe that you led me through the wilderness
And you have not forgotten me through all of this

A million miles have led me to this place
Where all I've ever loved has been erased
Changing my song to a disenchanted lullaby
With a name I never really felt was mine

But I have learned that I can't earn any love you've given
So I'm finding hope in letting go of all that I have made

Because the pain defining me is holding me lifeless
So I am waiting patiently for you to change my name

Open up to my heart's surgery
The waiting rooms of my reality
Where I still believe there's a purpose to this pain inside
And you are not, not leaving me here to die

But formless hope will never know while the storm is raging
So I will strive to stay alive in these waves

Because the pain defining me is holding me lifeless
So I am waiting patiently for you

Because the pain defining me is holding me lifeless
So I am waiting patiently for you
I am waiting for you to change my name
For you to change my name

Ordinary - Greg Jones

As I boy I would run to my school
Cutting through fields of clover
Then they were gone, clean, good, and nice
Covered by roads where cars now drive

It's just an ordinary day
I'm much too strange for this ordinary world
It's just an ordinary day
I'm much too strange for this ordinary world

The more that I learn, the less that I know
Never thought I would want to slow down
Just focus on clouds in blue skies
Above all the rain, the sun shines

It's just an ordinary day
I'm much too strange for this ordinary world
It's just an ordinary day
I'm much too strange for this ordinary world

It's just an ordinary day
A circus full of clowns
It's just an ordinary day
A circus full of clowns
It's just an ordinary day
A circus full of clowns
It's just an ordinary day

It's just an ordinary day
I'm much too strange for this ordinary world
It's just an ordinary day
I'm much too strange for this ordinary world

Take my blanket and go - Joe Purdy

The sun is sinking low
And the hour is getting late
And you need something
That I can't live without
But I'll give it anyway

And you're really in trouble this time
You got no one left to blame
And they pushed you down
When you called me names
But I loved you just the same

Won't you take my blanket and go?
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Ease your troubled soul, warm your weary bones

Yeah well, what else can you do now?
You got nothing, you got nothing at all
And I threw you rope, and you grabbed, it broke
I got nothing else in my hands

So, won't you take my blanket and go?
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Ease your troubled soul, warm your weary bones

Won't you take my blanket and go?
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Ease your troubled soul
And when that cold wind blows
Warm your weary bones
