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

Dust bowl dance - Mumford & Sons

The young man stands on the edge of his porch
The days were short and the father was gone
There was no one in the town and no one in the field
This dusty barren land had given all it could yield

I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
And I have no idea where else my heart could have been
I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
And now I am sure my heart can never be still

So collect your courage and collect your horse
And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse

Seal my heart and break my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what I've done and do my time

You are my accuser, now look in my face
Your oppression reeks of your greed and disgrace
So one man has and another has not
How can you love what it is you have got

When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
Liars and thieves you know not what is in store
There will come a time I will look in your eye
You will pray to the God that you've always denied

Then I'll go out back and I'll get my gun
I'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"

Seal my heart and break my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what I've done and do my time

Seal my heart and break my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what I've done and do my time

Well, yes sir, yes sir, yes, it was me
I know what I've done, cause I know what I've seen
I went out back and I got my gun
I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"

Where are you now - Mumford & Sons

It came to the end
It seems you had heard
As we walked the city streets
You never said a word

When we finally sat down
Your eyes were full of spite
I was desperate, I was weak
I could not put up a fight

But where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?

You were strangely less in pain
Than you were cold
Triumphant in your mind
Of the logic that you hold

You said no one would ever know
The love that we had shared
As I took my leave to go
It was clear you didn't care

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?

And I hear of your coming
And your going in the town
I hear stories of your smile
I hear stories of your frown

And the darkness can descend
We can relish all the pain
But I know that's what you love
Cause you know I love the same

But where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?

Oh, where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?

But where are you now?
Where are you now?
Do you ever think of me
In the quiet, in the crowd?

Hopeless wanderer - Mumford & Sons

You heard my voice
I came out of the woods by choice
Shelter also gave their shade
But in the dark I have no name

So leave that click in my head
And I will remember the words that you said
Left a clouded mind and a heavy heart
But I was sure we could see a new start

So when your hope's on fire
But you know your desire
Don't hold a glass over the flame
Don't let your heart grow cold
I will call you by name
I will share your road

But hold me fast, hold me fast
Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer
And hold me fast, hold me fast
Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer

I wrestled long with my youth
We tried so hard to live in the truth
But do not tell me all is fine
When I lose my head, I lose my spine

So leave that click in my head
And I won't remember the words that you said
You brought me out from the cold
Now, how I long, how I long to grow old

So when your hope's on fire
But you know your desire
Don't hold a glass over the flame
Don't let your heart grow cold
I will call you by name
I will share your road

But hold me fast, hold me fast
Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer
And hold me fast, hold me fast
Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer

I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under
I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under
The skies I'm under

Timshel - Mumford & Sons

Cold is the water
It freezes your already cold mind
Already cold, cold mind
And death is at your doorstep
And it will steal your innocence
But it will not steal your substance

But you are not alone in this
And you are not alone in this
As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand
Hold your hand

And you are the mother
The mother of your baby child
The one to whom you gave life
And you have your choices
And these are what make man great
His ladder to the stars

But you are not alone in this
And you are not alone in this
As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand
Hold your hand

And I will tell the night
Whisper, "Lose your sight"
But I can't move the mountains for you

I gave you all - Mumford & Sons

Rip the earth in two with your mind
And seal the urge which ensues with brass wires
I never meant you any harm
But your tears feel warm as they fall on my forearms

But close my eyes for a while
And force from the world a patient smile

And how can you say that your truth is better than ours?
Shoulder to shoulder, now brother, we carry no arms
And the blind man sleeps in the doorway, his home
If only I had an enemy bigger than my apathy I could have won

But I gave you all
I gave you all
I gave you all

Close my eyes for a while
And force from the world a patient smile

But I gave you all
I gave you all
I gave you all

And you rip it from my hands
And you swear it's all gone
And you rip out all I had
Just to say that you've won

And you rip it from my hands
And you swear it's all gone
And you rip out all I had
Just to say that you've won, you've won
Well, now you've won

But I gave you all
I gave you all
I gave you all

This night - Black Lab

There are things I have done
There's a place I have gone
There's a beast and I let it run
Now it's running my way

There are things I regret
That you can't forgive
You can't forget
There's a gift that you sent
You sent it my way

So take this night
Wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I'm not forgiven
But I need a place to sleep
So take this night
Lay me down on the street
I know I'm not forgiven
But I hope that I'll be given
Some peace

There's a game that I played
There are rules I had to break
There's mistakes that are made
But I made them my way

So take this night
Wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I'm not forgiven
But I need a place to sleep
So take this night
Lay me down on the street
I know I'm not forgiven
But I hope that I'll be given
Some peace

Some peace
Some peace
Some peace

Everything trying - Damien Jurado

I call you now to tell you I'm thinking of you
But it does me no good when the phone is just blocking my view
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you

And I would come back and admit that it wasn't your fault
But I'm tired and unwilling to be the only one who was wrong
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you

I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes

Where is my mind - Pixies

Oh ―
Stop

With your feet on the air
And your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Way out in the water
See it swimming

I was swimming in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Trying to talk to me, to me, to me

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Way out in the water
See it swimming

With your feet on the air
And your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Way out in the water
See it swimming

With your feet on the air
And your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah

End of the day - Doug Paisley

At the end of a long, long day
Come go with me in the blue and the gray
There's no up, there's no down
And there's no way around
At the end of the day

I'll follow the line where the land meets the sun
I looked to the hills where the dark has begun
My fears are reserved for the deeds of the day
That are faded away

I'm gonna get by
I'm gonna get through
When the river runs dry
I'm gonna cross to you
There's no up, there's no down
And there's no way around
At the end of the day

Your heart, it is worn
You're a bleeding machine
A ghost hand lifts you up out of your dreams
See, the sunlight combed on the shapes at the fray
At the end of the day

I'm gonna get by
I'm gonna get through
When the river runs dry
I'm gonna cross to you
There's no up, there's no down
And there's no way around
At the end of the day

Full circle - Half Moon Run

Cap off kneeling at the back of the church
Feeling water on your brow, if it's healing it hurts
At first a sharpish pain that returns as a thought
That the needle in your skin will bring you closer to God

And I watch as your head turns full circle

Our hope was with a coffee and a medical text
It's too easy knowing nothing, blowing off the rest
And the riddles in the pages leave at too much to guess
And the worry cracks a fracture from your hip to your chest

As I watch as your head turns full circle

We got lost in the travels in the spiritual book
Missed the beaches from Nirvana and the way that they look
And the crooks they're on the island they're killing to keep running
They're running severance on the plastic and it seems to be working

Is that the best that I can do?
As I watch as your head turns full circle

You appear even tempered though your looks will deceive
And the sparks are always flying cause you drink for relief
With the heart of a child and the wit of a fool
It's a wonder why I don't try to build a wall around you

When I watch as your head turns full circle
And I watch as your head turns full circle
Yeah, I watch as your head turns full circle

On top of the world - Tim McMorris

I’m on top of the world, and now I’m living
And the good just gets better, keeps on giving
Not even close to the end, it’s just beginning
Life is getting lighter
While the days are getting brighter

And it’s all good, I won’t even worry anymore
Took all my cares, took them, kicked them all out the door
Go on and try it, come on and tell me what you’re waiting for
Move and keep on going till your life is overflowing

I do a dance, do a dance of victory
Cause now I’m living good, no, I’m not living like I used to be
Not talking about things, talking about my mind
Now I’m free from the worries that I left behind

I gotta jump for joy and shout aloud and make a sound
The world can’t stop me now, no
And on the music I will ride on the beat
Play my guitar while I’m stomping my feet

I gotta celebrate life
And get excited about
Good times and good living
Come on and shout it out, hey!

Take it up, take it over, take it out of control
Today I’m freeing my soul, and now you got me singing
I’m feeling fine, smiling big, feeling right like I should
Life is better than good, yeah, you got me singing

I’m standing up on top of the world tonight
And everything’s working out just right
And while the world is spinning
It’s a brand new beginning
I’m here finally winning, hey!
So, take it up, take it over, take it out of control
Today I’m freeing my soul, and now you got me singing

We gotta be the best, the best we can be
And though sometimes we don’t wanna
Still we gotta chase our dreams
Reach up and reach high, because we’re gonna pull on through
And give it all we got even though it can seem so hard to

Catch and make happen, but we can’t start slacking, come on
Do what you gotta do to fight on
So no matter what comes your way
Nothing can ruin your day
Or even wipe your smile away

By the time I’m up and outta my bed
I got a hundred new ideas floating round in my head
With a hope for tomorrow, a dream that I can see
Of all the awesome things, the great people we could be

And maybe by the music or the songs that I sing
I’ll change the world with the simple message that I will I bring
All I know is that it’s out there, there’s more to discover
And a lot of good things, we can learn from one another

Gotta celebrate life
And get excited about
Good times and good living
Come on and shout it out, hey!

Take it up, take it over, take it out of control
Today I’m freeing my soul, and now you got me singing
I’m feeling fine, smiling big, feeling right like I should
Life is better than good, yeah, you got me singing

I’m standing up on top of the world tonight
And everything’s working out just right
And while the world is spinning
It’s a brand new beginning
I’m here finally winning, hey!
So, take it up, take it over, take it out of control
Today I’m freeing my soul, and now you got me singing

A beautiful life - Tim McMorris

One, two, three, four

Five, I'm alive
Six, seven, eight, feeling great
Nine, gonna shine, life is good, I'm doing fine
Ten, gonna do it right and do it again

But there's more than just for me

Beautiful morning
That turns into a
Beautiful evening
And together make a
Beautiful life

And if you want to see
Then come along me

And if you want a good tomorrow
It's pretty simple, gotta find the light to follow
And if you do you'll have a future real bright

It's a combination of consistency
Come on and sing

Come on, come on, come on and sing
Come on, come on, come on and sing

Come on, come on, come on and sing
Come on, come on, come on and sing

With another sunrise
It's a brand new day
So gonna make a little list
To keep the worries away

I gotta dance just a little bit
Move to be free
Keep my head up high
Don't forget to be me

Like I won a million dollars
Like I hit the pay dirt
Smile a smile from ear to ear
The kind that makes your face hurt

Gonna laugh, jump, sing loud
Not afraid to shout about
Being happy, living it out
Take a look and see a

Beautiful morning
That turns into a
Beautiful evening
And together make a
Beautiful life

And if you want to see
Then come along me
That's right

Come on and sing

Come on, come on, come on and sing
Come on, come on, come on and sing

Come on, come on, come on and sing
Come on, come on, come on and sing

Come on, come on, come on and sing
Come on, come on, come on and sing

Come on, come on, come on and sing
Come on, come on, come on and sing

Til ungdommen - Herborg Kråkevik

Kringsatt av fiender
Gå inn i din tid
Under en blodig storm
Vi deg til strid

Kanskje du spør i angst
Udekket, åpen
”Hva skal jeg kjempe med?
Hva er mitt våpen?”

Her er ditt vern mot vold
Her er ditt sverd
Troen på livet vårt
Menneskets verd

For all vår fremtids skyld
Søk det og dyrk det
Dø om du må
Men øk det og styrk det

Stilt går granatenes
Glidende bånd
Stans deres drift mot død
Stans dem med ånd

Krig er forakt for liv
Fred er å skape
Kast dine krefter inn
Døden skal tape

Da synker våpnene
Maktesløs ned
Skaper vi menneskeverd
Skaper vi fred

Den som med høyre arm
Bærer en byrde
Dyr og umistelig
Kan ikke myrde

Dette er løftet vårt
Fra bror til bror
Vi vil bli gode mot
Menneskenes jord

Vi vil ta vare på
Skjønnheten, varmen
Som om vi bar et barn
Varsomt på armen

Swimming - Florence And The Machine

Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Dragged further away from the shore
And deeper into the drink

Sat on the bottom of the ocean
A stern and stubborn rock
Cause your songs remind me of swimming
But somehow I forgot

I was sinking and now I'm sunk
I was drinking and now I'm drunk
Your songs remind me of swimming
But somehow I forgot

I tried to remember the chorus
I can't remember the verse
Cause that song that sent me swimming
Is now the life jacket that burst

Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor
Sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore
Cause your songs remind me of swimming
But I can't swim anymore

Pull me out the water, cold and blue
I open my eyes and I see that it's you
So I dive straight back in the ocean
So I dive straight back in the ocean

Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest
Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest
Cross my fingers and hope for the best

Then all of a sudden, I heard a note
It started in my chest and ended in my throat
Then I realized, then I realized, then I realized
I was swimming
Yes, I was swimming
And now I'm swimming
Yes, I am swimming

Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink

Oh, your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started
Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink

Addicted to love - Florence And The Machine

The lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is all it takes

You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need

You would like to think that you're immune to the stuff
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

You see the signs, that you can't read
You're running at a different speed
Your heart beats double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine

A one-track mind, you can't be saved
Cause, baby, your love is all you crave
If there's some left, left for you
Then you don't mind if you do

You would like to think that you're immune to the stuff
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

The lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
Your heart sweats, your teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine

You would like to think that you're immune to the stuff
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Kiss with a fist - Florence And The Machine

You hit me once, I hit you back
You gave a kick, I gave a slap
You smashed a plate over my head
Then I set fire to our bed

You hit me once
I hit you back
You gave a kick
I gave a slap
You smashed a plate
Over my head
Then I set fire to our bed

My black eye casts no shadow
Your red eye sees no blame
Your slaps don't stick
Your kicks don't hit
So we remain the same

Blood sticks, sweat drips
Break the lock if it don't fit
A kick in the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better than none
A kiss with a fist is better than none

Broke your jaw once before
I spilt your blood upon the floor
You broke my leg in return
So let's sit back and watch the bed burn

Blood sticks sweat drips
Break the lock if it don't fit
A kick in the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better than none
A kiss with a fist is better than none

You hit me once, I hit you back
You gave a kick, I gave a slap
You smashed a plate over my head
Then I set fire to our bed

You hit me once, I hit you back
You gave a kick, I gave a slap
You smashed a plate over my head
Then I set fire to our bed

Drumming song - Florence And The Machine

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's still beating loud and clear

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat, it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

I run to the river and dive straight in
I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out

I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat, it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat, it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

Cosmic love - Florence And The Machine

A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

Howl - Florence And The Machine

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart

My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to

Howl, howl
Howl, howl

Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack
My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground

Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins
I want to find you, tear out all your tenderness and

Howl, howl
Howl, howl

Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters

The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallowed ground

And howl
And howl

Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night
May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground

Shake it out - Florence And The Machine

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around

Our love is pastured, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off

And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Well, what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off

100 suns - 30 Seconds To Mars

I believe in nothing
Not the end and not the start
I believe in nothing
Not the earth and not the stars

I believe in nothing
Not the day and not the dark
I believe in nothing
But the beating of our hearts

I believe in nothing
One hundred suns until we part
I believe in nothing
Not in sin and not in God

I believe in nothing
Not in peace and not in war
I believe in nothing
But the truth in who we are

Call me - Shinedown

Wrap me in a bolt of lightning
Send me on my way still smiling
Maybe that's the way I should go
Straight into the mouth of the unknown
I left the spare key on the table
Never really thought I'd be able
To say I merely visit on the weekends
I lost my whole life and a dear friend

I've said it so many times
I would change my ways
No, nevermind
God knows I've tried

Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over, I'll still love you the same
Call me your favourite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say
So, I'll be on my way

I finally put it all together
But nothing really lasts forever
I had to make a choice that was not mine
I had to say goodbye for the last time
I kept my whole life in suitcase
Never really stayed in one place
Maybe that's the way it should be
You know I live my life like a gypsy

I've said it so many times
I would change my ways
No, nevermind
God knows I've tried

Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over, I'll still love you the same
Call me your favourite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say
So, I'll be on my way

I'll always keep you inside
You healed my heart and my life
And you know I try

Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over, I'll still love you the same
Call me your favourite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say
So, I'll be on my way
So, I'll be on my way
So, I'll be on my way

This is war - 30 Seconds To Mars

A warning to the people
The good and the evil
This is war

To the soldier, the civilian
The martyr, the victim
This is war

It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie
The moment to live and the moment to die
The moment to fight, the moment to fight
To fight, to fight, to fight

To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first

To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world

A warning to the prophet
The liar, the honest
This is war

To the leader, the pariah
The victor, the messiah
This is war

It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie
The moment to live and the moment to die
The moment to fight, the moment to fight
To fight, to fight, to fight

To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first

To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world

I do believe in the light
Raise your hands into the sky
The fight is done, the war is won
Lift your hands toward the sun
Toward the sun
Toward the sun
Toward the sun
The war is won

To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first

To the right, to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world

A brave new world
The war is won
The war is won
A brave new world

Bullet-proof skin - Institute

Cool to disappear
But I missed you most days
An army of tattooed angels
Have brought me back today

I'm a waster boy, anti-masterplan
Been stuck inside this lonely room again
You get paranoid, see vultures circling
One slip then down comes the final curtain
Until you come into your soul again
We'll be the worst of best friends
Doesn't feel like Christmas in Hollywood
Doesn't feel like we're ever going to make it home

Burn, baby, burn, strung out on a wire
Heart in a cage, you're so full of desire
You need fast hands to deal with all the liars
So don't burn, baby, burn, baby, burn

It's a waste of joy I can hardly stand
Been looking for the ramp for my escape
I love animals, so close to perfect
They're the only ones who seem to know their heart
Doesn't feel like Christmas in Hollywood
Doesn't feel like we could ever come undone

Burn, baby, burn, strung out on a wire
Heart in a cage, you're so full of desire
You need fast hands to deal with all the liars
Bullet-proof skin to keep you alive
Burn, baby, burn, strung out on a wire
So don't burn, baby, burn, baby, burn

I can't hold you, I can't hold you, I can't hold you
To lose you is to never love again
To lose you is to never love again
To lose you is to never love again
To lose you

Burn, baby, burn, strung out on a wire
Heart in a cage, you're so full of desire
You need, fast hands to deal with all the liars
Bullet-proof skin to keep you alive
Burn, baby, burn, strung out on a wire
So don't burn, baby, burn, baby, burn

I can't hold you, I can't hold you
I can't hold you, I can't hold you

End of the world - Dead By Sunrise

When you read the news
Does it make you sick?
Murder, money, and politics
Gonna fill you up
Get your bullshit fix

It's the end of the world
Grab your crucifix
And fall to your knees
And beg God, “Please
Have mercy on me”

When you turn on the TV
What do you get?
Sex, lies, scandal, violence
Like the end of a gun
Pressed against your lips

It's the end of the world
Grab your crucifix
And fall to your knees
And beg God, “Please
Have mercy on me”

When you can't buy gas
And you can't pay rent
And what you've got left
Is the government's
No win
No future
No benefit

It's the end of the world
Grab your crucifix
And fall to your knees
And beg God, “Please
Have mercy on me”

Coming out of the hypocrisy
Coming out of the bureaucracy
Coming in to lead a war
They're a shame

You can ignore what you cannot see
You can believe in a lie
You can run away from anything
Until you open your eyes

No rest for the wicked
Yeah, they never quit
Watching, waiting
For the next trick
We won't be celebrating
When the atom's split

It's the end of the world
Grab your crucifix
And fall to your knees
And beg God, “Please
Have mercy on me”

Coming out of the hypocrisy
Coming out of the bureaucracy
Coming in to lead a war
They're a shame

You can ignore what you cannot see
You can believe in a lie
You can run away from anything
Until you open your eyes

Coming out of the hypocrisy
Coming out of the bureaucracy
Coming in to lead a war
They're a shame

If I'm James Dean, you're Audrey Hepburn - Sleeping With Sirens

Stay for tonight if you want to
I can show you what my dreams are made of
As I'm dreaming of your face
I've been away for a long time, such a long time
And I miss you there
I can't imagine being anywhere else
I can't imagine being anywhere else but here

How the hell did you ever pick me?
Honestly, I could sing you a song
But I don't think words can express your beauty
It's singing to me
How the hell did we end up like this?
You bring out the beast in me
I fell in love from the moment we kissed
Since then we've been history

They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me

It goes to show, I hope that you know that you are
What my dreams are made of
Can't fall asleep, can't fall asleep
I lay in my bed awake
In my bed awake at night
As I dream of you
I'll fall in love, you'll fall in love
It could mean everything, everything to me
I can't imagine being anywhere else

They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me

The way that we are
It's the reason I stay
As long as you're here with me
I know we'll be okay

The way that we are
It's the reason I stay
As long as you're here with me
I know I'll be okay

They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me

(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one baby)
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one girl)
Please stay as long as you need
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one baby)
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one girl)
Please stay forever with me

No light, no light - Florence And The Machine

You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between
What I thought and what I said

You are the night time fear
You are the morning when it's clear
When it's over you're the start
You're my head, you're my heart

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away

And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say

Through the crowd, I was crying out
And in your place there were a thousand other faces
I was disappearing in plain sight
Heaven help me, I need to make it right

You want a revelation
You wanna get it right
But it's a conversation
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away

And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say

Would you leave me
If I told you what I've done?
And would you need me
If I told you what I've become?
Cause it's so easy
To say it to a crowd
But it's so hard, my love
To say it to you out loud

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away

And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say

You want a revelation
You wanna get it right
But it's a conversation
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation

You want a revelation
You wanna get it right
But it's a conversation
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
Tell me what you want me to say

The wind - Cat Stevens

I listen to the wind
To the wind of my soul
Where I'll end up, well
I think only God really knows
I've sat upon the setting sun
But never, never, never, never
I never wanted water once
No, never, never, never

I listen to my words
But they fall far below
I let my music take me
Where my heart wants to go
I swam upon the devil's lake
But never, never, never, never
I'll never make the same mistake
No, never, never, never

How to fight loneliness - Wilco

How to fight loneliness
Smile all the time
Shine you teeth ‘til meaningless
Sharpen them with lies

And whatever’s going down
Will follow you around
That’s how you fight loneliness
You laugh at every joke

Drag your blanket blindly
You fill your heart with smoke
And the first thing that you want
Will be the last thing you ever need
That’s how you fight it

Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
