You - Keaton Henson

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

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

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

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

Just live
Just live
Just live

Under wraps - Ghost Town

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

13 minutes - A Perfect Circle

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

24 - Jem

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Beautiful blue - Holly McNarland

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dreaming under this ugliness
Waking up to all this beautiful blue

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

No surprise - Daughtry

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I've gotta be me - Glee Cast

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mockingbird - Rob Thomas

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Made to be free - Tim McMorris

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Feels good at first - Train

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

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

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

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

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

But it sure felt good at first

Help - Hurts

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

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

And we cry away

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

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

And we cry away

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Safe and sound - Taylor Swift feat. The Civil Wars

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

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

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

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

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

Dreams - Cranberries

Oh, my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way

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

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

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

I want more
Impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore

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

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

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

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

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

Since october - In This Moment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Anywhere - Evanescence

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Basement ghost singing - Armor For Sleep

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

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

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

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

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

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

The lights are off
And I'm lost again

The lights are off
And I'm lost again

The lights are off
And I'm lost again

The lights are off
And I'm lost again

The lights are off
And I'm lost again

The lights are off
And I'm lost again

The lights are off

Friends and lovers - Incubus

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

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

Because in the end
We are friends and lovers

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tear the blue - Parabelle

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And I would do anything, anything

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

Alibi - 30 Seconds To Mars

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And I fell apart, but got back up again

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

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

But got back up again

Overwhelmed - Tim McMorris

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yeah, I'm overwhelmed by you
Am overcome with joy
You've taken me higher

Let love in - Goo Goo Dolls

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

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

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

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

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

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

You wait
Wanting this world to let you in

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

Butterfly - Tapping The Vein

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Saturn - Sleeping At Last

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

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

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

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

The edge - Tonight Alive

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A lion's heart - The Tallest Man On Earth

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

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

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

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

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

Love is all - The Tallest Man On Earth

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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