I would die for you - Matt Walters

He buried her heart still
He buried her on her own
By the cool ferns
In the rained on river bed

He took her in his arms
He carried her ghost
Through grey stone fields
He could feel her float

She said, “I, I would die for you
And I, I would die for you”

And it all came true
Yeah, it all came true

A love so dark
Against the moon
With a silken cord
She spoke too soon

She said, “I, I would die for you
I, I would die for you”

When he first laid eyes on her
It was like a curse
He felt his heart rise
And gravity in reverse

Her eyes full of hope
Her voice full of mourning
And her lips as red
As a shepherd's warning

She said, “I, I would die for you
Yeah, I, I would die for you”

And it all came true
Yeah, it all came true

He lay her down
In the gentle earth
And kissed her eyes closed
Like it didn't hurt

He whispered, “I, I would die for you
I, I would die for you
I, I would die for you
I, I would die for you
I, I would die for you”

And it all came true
It all came true

Run - Nicole Scherzinger

Here's some advice for the next one
Don't let him lead you to the dark
Don't tell him all your secrets
He'll leave you with a broken heart
He'll try and tell you that he wants you
Just to keep you on the line
And right when you're about to move on
He pulls you back in every time

Here's advice for the next one
Run, run, run
Here's advice for the next one
Run, run, run

Darling, I know that you're just like me
You give your love up way too fast
But once it's gone it's gone forever
And there's no coming back from that
He's got this perfect way about him
He'll make you think that you come first
But you'll get lost in the challenge
Of trying not to get hurt

Here's advice for the next one
Run, run, run
Here's advice for the next one
Run, run, run

Don't even search for that four-letter word
You'll never get it out
You try and try and try
But he'll just shut you down
Don't wanna say I told you so
So please go now

Here's some advice for the next one
Run, run, run
Here's some advice for the next one
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Van Nuys - Sixx A.M

I don't want to die out here in the valley
Waiting for my luck to change
And I just want my dad to know
That I finally made it

Everybody gets high
Everybody gets low
Everybody gets bruised
Everybody gets sold

I don't want to die out here in the valley
You don't have to lie, I know that's what I'll do
I don't want my mom to know
That I never loved my life and I sold my soul

Everybody gets high
Everybody gets low
Everybody gets bruised
Everybody gets sold

Everybody gets dark
Everybody unfolds
Everybody gets high
Everybody gets so low

And everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys, Van Nuys

Everybody gets high
Everybody gets low
Everybody gets bruised
Everybody gets sold

Everybody gets dark
Everybody unfolds
Everybody gets high
Everybody gets so low

Everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys, Van Nuys

Everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys, Van Nuys

Everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys

Everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys, Van Nuys

Gold - Imagine Dragons

Fast comes the blessing of all that you dreamed
But then comes the curses of diamonds and rings
Only at first did it have its appeal
But now you can’t tell the false from the real

Who can you trust?
Who can you trust?

When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
Gold

Statues and empires are all at your hands
Water to wine and the finest of sands
When all that you have’s turning stale and it’s cold
Oh, you no longer fear when your heart’s turned to gold

Who can you trust?
Who can you trust?

When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
Gold

I’m dying to feel again
Oh, anything at all
But, oh, I feel nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing

When everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold
Everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
Gold

I bet my life - Imagine Dragons

I know I took the path
That you would never want for me
I know I let you down, didn't I?
So many sleepless nights
Where you were waiting up on me
But I'm just a slave unto the night

Now remember when I told you
That's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path
That you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years

So I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you

I've been around the world
And never in my wildest dreams
Would I come running home to you
I've told a million lies
But now I tell a single truth
There's you in everything I do

Now remember when I told you
That's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path
That you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years

So I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you

Don't tell me that I'm wrong
I've walked that road before
And left you on your own

And please believe them when they say
That it's left for yesterday
And the records that I play
Please forgive me for all I've done

So I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you

I, I bet my
I bet my
I bet my

I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my

Latch - Kodaline

You lift my heart up
When the rest of me is down
And you, you enchant me
Even when you're not around
If there, there are boundaries
I will try to knock them down
I'm latching on, babe
Now I know what I have found

I feel we're close enough
I wanna lock in your love
I feel we're close enough
I wanna lock in your love, your love

And now I've got you in my space
I won't let go of you
You got me shackled in my embrace
I'm latching on to you

I feel so encaptured
Got me wrapped up in your touch
Feel so enamored
Hold me tight within your clutch

And how did you do it?
You got me losing all my breath
How did you give me
To have my heartbeat out my chest?

Now I've got you in my space
I won't let go to you
Got me shackled in my embrace
I'm latching onto you

Now I've got you in my space
I won't let go of you
Got me shackled in my embrace
I'm latching onto you

I'm latching onto you
I'm latching onto you
I'm latching onto you
I'm latching onto you
I'm latching onto you

I'm latching onto you
I'm latching onto you
I'm latching onto you
I'm latching onto you

Now I've got you in my space
I won't let go of you
You got me shackled in my embrace
I'm latching onto you

Quiet the mind - IAMX

There was light
Before the rain began
And there was hope
Behind the suffering joke

Lies come
Lies, they go
Even the sun is tired
Under the surfaces
There is a benevolent drone
Do you feel it?

So brutal when the words are on
The tip of your tongue
So strange when your tired eyes won't
Shut your brain down

Hold back the melancholy
Hold back the fear, darling
It's a crime

Hold back the fear
Hold back the melancholy
It's a crime

Sometimes I can taste my death
Like a candy bar
So sweet and complete
As infinity takes me
This fool's end

I create to keep that dog in my bearable door
I made hologram
In my egocentric universe of

You're alive
But you know that the wire
Under you is bending
And the truth is always telling you to be
Immune to everything

Hold back the melancholy
Hold back the fear, darling
It's a crime

Hold back the fear
Hold back the melancholy
It's a crime

Hold back the fear
Hold back the darkness
Hold back the melancholy
Hold back the melancholy
It's a crime

People c'mon - Delta Spirit

I'm a wandering soul
I got no place of my own
Well, I got nothing to give
Well, I got nothing to show for it

And I'll be wandering on for all my years
What I become no one could know
If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon

And I got something to say, my friends
I will never lay down without a fight
And when I die it will be the day
When every one of my wrongs will be made right

Only times gonna heal my pain
Lord knows the mistakes I will make
Yeah, there'll be peace on my soul someday
Reconcile, I'll be on my way

And I'll be wandering on for all my years
What I become no one can say

If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon
Oh no, if you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon

And I'll be wandering on for all these years
What I become no one could know
If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon
All you soul searching people c'mon

3 rounds and a sound - Blind Pilot

They're playing our song
They're playing our song
Can you see the lights?
Can you hear the hum?

Of our song
I hope they get it right
I hope we dance tonight
Before we get it wrong

And the seasons
Will change us new
Be the best I've known
And you know me
I could not be stuck on you
If it were true

I was swimming
My eyes were dark
‘Til you woke me
And told me that opening
Is just the start
It was

Now I see you
‘Til kingdom come
You're the one I want
To see me for all the stupid shit I've done

Soil and six feet under
Killed just like we were
Before you knew you'd know me
And you know me

Blooming up from the ground
Three rounds and a sound
Like whispering you know me
You know me

So this was our song
This was our song
I still see the lights
I can see them

And the criss-cross
Of what is true won't get to us
Cause you know me
I could not give up on you

And the fog of what is right
Won't cover us cause you know me
I could not give up a fight

Soil and six feet under
Killed just like we were
Before you knew you'd know me
And you know me

Blooming up from the ground
Three rounds and a sound
Like whispering you know me
You know me

There is no reason for regret.

If I died tomorrow I wouldn't die with regrets. Sure, today I wish I had travelled more, I'm always going to long for Japan. I wish I'd read more, my book shelves are filled with unread books. I wish I'd watch more movies/series, I have long lists of titles. I wish I had succeeded at something. But if I died tomorrow I wouldn'tfeel regretful about my life. I have travelled. I've seen my own country, I've seen my neighboring countries, I've gone overseas. I've travelled by car, bus, airplane, boat, cruise ship. I've read hundreds of books, thousands of fanfics, and I've read so much relevant and random facts/trivia. I've looked through photographic books and I've taken my own photographs. I've drunk alcohol and I've gotten drunk and I've puked. I've gotten into fights because of disagreements, to stand up for myself, to stand up for someone else. I've gotten black eyes and cuts and bruises. I've played sports on a team and won a region championship. I've filmed for the local tv channel. I've been so far up in the mountains there was no phone network. I've rolled underneath a snowmobile. I've seen the sun shine at midnight. I've fished in the river. I've sat around countless bonfires and listened to tales and jokes of many kinds. I've had great friends that meant a lot to me, that I have had so much fun with. I've made friends with people of many different nationalities. I have international friends, great friends who I've shared more with than anyone else. I've kissed boys and girls. I've finished video games by myself. I've lied on a football field at midnight and stared at the sky. I've held my first nephew when he was new born and felt the world fall away. I've held them all and there's nothing like it. I've seen my sister get married. I've seen the most beautiful man on stage singing the songs that means everything to me. I watched him so intently I don't remember anything but watching him and hearing his voice. I've seen my idol up close. I've followed Harry Potter and it has changed my life. I've been to midnight premiers. I've loved and felt and been a part of something, I've seen and done and changed, I've gained and lost and removed myself from situations, I've smiled and laughed and cried and gotten angry. If I were to die tomorrow I would not regret my life because of the things I never got to do. I would never regret my life because up to that moment I've been doing the things I wanted to do at the moment, the things I could do, the things I had the capacity to do. There is no reason to regret the life you've lived so far, even if you realise that some things were mistakes. This is how your life had to be lived for you to be who you are. And there's no reason to regret the things you haven't done or would never get to do if you died, because the future is unknown and maybe you would never do those things even if you continued to live.

Let's make our escape to a place where we can wake to the sun again.

Every year the sun leaves at november 21, turns on december 21, and returns on january 21. Leaving us in darkness for two months. It happens every year. Two months of darkness. For us it is also common knowledge that we have something that can only be translated into "the winter depression". Where all this darkness makes you feel heavy and sluggish and depressed. It happens to most everyone. It is common knowledge. Yet I forget about it every year.

Sometimes it will be a month into it when I remember. Remember that these are the toughest months of the year to get through. But since I am to different degrees depressed all around the year I never think of it as much different. So a month into the darkness I'll remember. That the depression I am feeling now is worse because of these dark months. Sometimes I won't remember until its january and you can see the sun just barely above the mountains. And I'll remember that is why it has been harder these two months.

You wake up in the morning and its dark. You leave for school or work and its dark. You come home and its dark. You go to bed and its dark. It happens gradually, you've lived with it for so many years, you hardly notice its happening again. Until you stop. Look at the calendar. Think about it for a minute or two.

The sun is so important. But it's always there so you forget about that. Until you're a month in and haven't seen daylight for 30 days.

It's unlikely I'll remember next year too.

Half of something else - The Airborne Toxic Event

On the night that we met
You said that you wanted something more from me
And it was all that I could do

I remember your face, like a child
The way that you blushed
And the way that you smile

Now it’s all that I can do
And I wake up feeling new
There's so much more I never knew

So I think about the years spent alone
It’s like you’re searching for something to make you feel whole
Like you’re half of something else
Like you’re half of something else
Just a fraction of yourself

Don't take it so hard
We did what we could
There were no easy answers to be understood

But it was all that we could do
We’re the only ones who knew
Now all I think about is you

The way that you screamed
The way that you cry
The way that you wipe your eyes and fall against my side

The way that you told
Told me I was wrong
And the way that you sing
When you hear a song

And the way that you answer
When you knew I was gone
Now I know that I'm blind
And that you're all I see
And, yeah, I know it’s not clever
Just want you with me

I'm only half of something else
I'm only half of something else
I'm only half of something else

I just love you - Five For Fighting

Lonely, yeah, that's the word
I leave my heart when I leave her
The days go on forever
And the nights do too

One evening out on the road
Half a world away from home
I thought she was sleeping
When the call came through

And I said, “Darling, it's late
Is everything okay?”

And silence took over the room
'Til she said

“I, I just love you
I don't know why, I just do
When are you coming home?”

“I'm coming home soon
And I, I just love you too”


Lonely lets me be
For a while she sets me free
I close my eyes
And I dream of her

She's lost in my arms
Her head on my heart
And softly she whispers
The words

“I, I just love you
I don't know why, I just do
When are you coming home?”

“I'm coming home soon
And I, I just love you too”


I'll never stop being amazed
How my 4 year old girl
Knows exactly what to say

“I, I just love you
I don't know why, I just do
When are you coming home?”

“I'm coming home soon
Cause I just love you too”

Prodigal - OneRepublic

We say goodbye, I turn my back
Run away, run away, so predictable
Not far from here, you see me crack
Like a bone, like a bone, I'm so breakable

I'll take everything from you
But you'll take anything, won't you?

Run away, run away, like a prodigal
Don't you wait for me, don't you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed, but I need you so
And you wait for me, and you wait for me

I'm on the road to who knows where
Look ahead, not behind, I keep saying
There's no place to go where you're not there
On your rope I hold tight but it's freeing

I'll take everything from you
But you'll take anything, won't you?

Run away, run away, like a prodigal
Don't you wait for me, don't you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed, but I need you so
And you wait for me, and you wait for me

Everybody wants to be right
But only if it's not a day light
I keep trying to find my way back
My way back

Run away, run away, like a prodigal
Don't you wait for me, don't you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed, but I need you so
And you wait for me, and you wait for me

Run away, run away, run away
From you, from you, from you

All I want - Kodaline

All I want is nothing more
Than to hear you knocking at my door
Cause if I could see your face once more
I could die a happy man I'm sure

When you said your last goodbye
I died a little bit inside
I lay in tears in bed all night
Alone without you by my side

But if you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
And all I need is
To find somebody
I'll find somebody like you

So you brought out the best of me
A part of me I've never seen
You took my soul and wiped it clean
Our love was made for movie screens

But if you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
And all I need is
To find somebody
I'll find somebody

If you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
And all I need is
To find somebody
I'll find somebody like you

One day - Kodaline

One day it's here and then it's gone
How are you still holding on?
How are you still holding on?

You've felt this way for far too long
Waiting for a change to come
You know you're not the only one

And life passes you by
Don't be wasting your time
On your own

You always try to see yourself
Through the eyes of someone else
Through the eyes of someone else

Too shy to say that you need help
You and everybody else
You and everybody else

Oh, life passes you by
Don't waste your time
On your own

Yeah, life passes you by
Don't be wasting your time
All alone

As your heart gets bigger
And you try to figure out
What's it all about

And your skin gets thicker
As you try to figure out
What's it all about

Yeah, life passes you by
Don't waste your time
On your own

One day it's here and then it's gone
How are you still holding on?
How are you still holding on?

Human - Christina Perri

I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one
I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am

I can do it
I can do it
I can do it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
Cause I'm only human

I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything

I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
Cause I'm only human

I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human

I can take so much
Until I've had enough

Cause I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
Cause I'm only human
