Talking to the walls - Finger Eleven

No hostage has been held like I've
Been holding mine, but I'm just fine
Since I've been without you
No prisoner could climb the walls
That I've built up in my mind
Since I've been without you

But I'm holding down and out
I'm desperate without you
Look at the shape I'm in
Talking to the walls again
Just look at the state I'm in
Bent and broken is all I've been

No universal truth this time
No other universe but mine
Could ever feel as unaligned
Since I've been without you
No instances from time to time
Feel like things will turn out right
Since I've been without you

But I'm holding down and out
I'm desperate without you
Look at the shape I'm in
Talking to the walls again
Just look at the state I'm in
Bent and broken is all I've been

No universal truth this time
There's no universe for you and I
And there's no one to make me realize

Look at the shape I'm in
Talking to the walls again
Just look at the state I'm in
Bent and broken is all I've been

Look at the shape I'm in
Talking to the walls again
Just look at the state I'm in
Bent and broken is all I've been

No universal truth this time

Look at the shape I'm in
Talking to the walls again
Just look at the state I'm in
Bent and broken is all I've been

No universal truth this time

Sense of a spark - Finger Eleven

Let other words fail
I don't find it fair
But anyway
This little string keeps on pulling
I gotta pull myself down some different path
Inside my mind
Needs out
I wanna trip myself away
I better wait
I better wait
I better wait now

I get the sense of a spark so I follow
"I don't believe that she knows something I know"
I tell myself as I stay in the shadow
I tell myself not to go, but I go

Needing to see
Whichever way she's going
If there's any way
So far from here
There's little fear
Her words could ever hurt me
I don't want to wait
Don't want to wait
Don't want to wait, I

I get the sense of a spark so I follow
"I don't believe that she knows something I know"
I tell myself as I stay in the shadow
I tell myself not to go, not to go, but I go
Not to go, not to go, but I go

Don't look, don't talk, don't yell
Just close your eyes
This may or may not come as some surprise
I've found obsessions
Which to live and die by
Don't look, don't talk, don't yell
Just close your eyes

I get the sense of a spark so I follow
"I don't believe that she knows something I know"
I tell myself as I stay in the shadow
I tell myself not to go, not to go

I get the sense of a spark so I follow
"I don't believe that she knows something I know"
I tell myself as I stay in the shadow
I tell myself not to go, not to go, but I go
Not to go, not to go, but I go

Prelude 12/21 - AFI

This is what I brought you, this you can keep
This is what I brought, you may forget me
I promise to depart, just promise one thing
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep

This is what I brought you, this you can keep
This is what I brought, you may forget me
I promise you my heart, just promise to sing
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep

Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep

This is what I thought, I thought you need me
This is what I thought, so think me naïve
I promise you a heart you'd promise to keep
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep

Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep

Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep

Silhouettes - Of Monsters And Men

It's hard letting go
I'm finally at peace but it feels wrong
Slow, I'm getting up
My hands and feet are weaker than before

And you are folded on the bed where I rest my head
There's nothing I can see, darkness becomes me

But I'm already there, I'm already there
Wherever there is you, I will be there too

There's nothing that I'd take back
But it's hard to say there's nothing I regret
Cause when I sing, you shout
I breathe out loud
You bleed, we crawl like animals
But when it's over I'm still awake

A thousand silhouettes dancing on my chest
No matter where I sleep, you are haunting me

But I'm already there, I'm already there
Wherever there is you, I will be there too
But I'm already there, I'm already there
Wherever there is you, I will be there too

Cause I'm already there, I'm already there
Wherever there is you, I will be there too
I'm already there, I'm already there
Wherever there is you, I will be there too

Be still my heart - Plan Three

Run for cover
I'm waiting to go off
As far away as possible
Before we lose it all

So ordinary
The way it always ends
You won't be coming back for me
Let's stop pretending now

Knees to the ground
You should all bow down
It's over now
There's no return
(So I'll just crash and burn)

Now be still my heart
Come on and let me block
(Another heart comes crashing down)
You were all I wanted
But the devils in my head
Won't make this end right
No, another heart comes crashing down

Truth uncovers
Take your time and tool my head
The inside's unpredictable
The outside's caving in

Falling faster
The reason's all the same
A crash is inescapable
You can stop pretending now

Face to the ground
You should all bow down
It's over now
There's no return
(So I'll just crash and burn)

Now be still my heart
Come on and let me block
(Another heart comes crashing down)
You were all I wanted
But the devils in my head
Won't make this end right
No, another heart comes crashing down

Fill me up
Break me down
Come on and breathe me
Come on and breathe me
So I'll just crash and burn

Be still my heart
Come on and let me block
(Another heart comes crashing down)
You were all I wanted
But the devils in my head
Won't make this end right
No, another heart comes crashing down

Ease me
Come on and breathe me
(Another heart comes crashing down)
Ease me
Come on and breathe me

No

What have you done - Plan Three

All the stories are over
Chapters are done
All this chaos around me
Always alone
Why did I see burning fires in your eyes?
How could you let me end up in this?
Well, I don't know
The rose I hold
Won't seem to grow

So what have you done?
What are you hiding?
What are you holding onto?
This side of me is gone
It's killing me inside
To watch you go
It's keeping me alive

All the sirens are warning
Screaming our sins
I've been hiding the feeling
Of touching your skin
Why did I put out the fires in your eyes?
How could I erase the living in me?
I need to go
My lonely soul falls on you

So what have you done?
What are you hiding?
What are you holding onto?
This side of me is gone
It's killing me inside
To watch you go
It's keeping me alive
It's keeping me alive

So what have you done?
What are you hiding?
What are you holding onto?
This side of me is gone
It's killing me inside
To watch you go

Empty room - Marjorie Fair

I'm so tired of learning to talk
Building fences on the wall
In this state I shall not remain

I don't want to go, but if I die young
Fill my empty room with the sun
Fill my empty room with the sun

This don't matter like it did before
This don't matter much anymore

Change my mind or help me to try
I’m afraid and I'm not satisfied
In this state I shall not remain

I don't want to go, but if I die young
Fill my empty room with the sun
Fill my empty room with the sun

This don't matter like it did before
This don't matter much anymore
This don't matter like it did before
This don't matter much anymore

Daylight is not the same
When your stabbing at the stars
In your eyes, and bleeding
Is what you see

This don't matter like it did before
This don't matter much anymore
This don't matter like it did before
This don't matter much anymore

This don't matter much anymore

Thunder - Boys Like Girls

Today is a winding road
That's taking me to places
That I didn't want to go
Today in the blink of an eye
I'm holding on to something
And I do not know why
I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation
For what I'm feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colours
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start
And tell me something I don't know
Today I'm on my own
I can't move a muscle
And I can't pick up the phone
I don't know
(I don't know, I don't know, I don't know)

And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside
Just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there’s a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colours
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Yeah, I'm walking on a tightrope
I'm wrapped up in vines
I think we'll make it out
But you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road
That's taking me to places
That I didn't want to go

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colours
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby, bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder

Hold on - Jet

You tried so hard to be someone
That you forgot who you are
You tried to fill some emptiness
‘Til all you had spilled over
Now everything’s so far away
That you don’t know where you are, you are

When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
For you to belong to

When it’s hard to be yourself
It’s not to be someone else
Still everything’s so far away
That you forget where you are, you are

When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
For you to belong to
