Fight song - Rachel Platten

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
(Starting right now) I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (I'm in too deep)
And it's been two years
I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
I still believe
Yeah, I still believe

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
(Starting right now) I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
A lot of fight left in me

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
(Starting right now) I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Now I've still got a lot of fight left in me

St. Peter's Gate - Matt Walters

So time has reached its tireless goal
Ahead outstretched my path unfolds
Down into the depths of hell
I've seen enough I might as well

Through the circles of fire and stone
To the castle of blood and bone
Lucifer in all his power
Awaits me in my judgment hour
“Believe right now, it's not too late
I'll meet you at St. Peter's Gate”


Into the forest I begin
Where the beasts feast on skin
The brittle leaves are black not green
See the mark of St. Augustine

I meet them here, the poets in men
And the crimes for which they can't defend
They say, “Eternity can't be that bad
I've lost every love I’ve ever had”


“Believe right now it's not too late
I'll meet you at St. Peter's Gates”


To the sea, the blood of sin
We shed our rags and dive right in
And sink beneath the waves of fire
And feel our innocence expire
For I've done more wrong than I've done right
I saw the darkness devour the light
You cannot save this weary soul
Though every deep will take its toll

“Believe right now, it’s not too late
I'll meet you at St. Peter's Gates”

“How can I just accept this fate?
I'll meet you at St. Peter's Gates”


Ahead the castle's fiery moat
We're seeing all the lost souls float
Across the bridge of tangled bones
Into a world the darkness owns

Dead sea - The Lumineers

I stood alone upon the platform in vain
The Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain
With open doors and manual locks
In fast food parking lots

I headed West, I was a man on the move
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth
Oh, I need somebody, I needed someone I could trust
I don't gamble, but if I did I would bet on us

Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
You'll never sink when you are with me
Oh, lord, like the Dead Sea

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever said to me
Honey, can't you see
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea

You told me you were good at running away
Domestic life it never suited you like a suitcase
You left with just the clothes on your back
You took the rest when you took the map

Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
Your father died and you decided to live it
For yourself, you felt, you just felt it was time
And I'm glad, cause you with cats, that's just not right

Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
You'll never sink when you are with me
Oh, lord, I'm your Dead Sea

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever said to me
Honey, can't you see
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea

I've been down, I've been defeated
You're the message I was heeding
Would you stay
Would you stay the night?

Dead Sea
Told me I was like the Dead Sea
Never sink when you are with me
Oh, lord, I'm your Dead Sea

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The nicest words you ever said to me
Honey, can't you see
I was born to be your Dead Sea

Ho hey - The Lumineers

Ho!
Hey!
Ho!
Hey!

Ho! I've been trying to do it right
Hey! I've been living a lonely life
Ho!) I've been sleeping here instead
Hey! I've been sleeping in my bed
Ho! Sleeping in my bed
Hey!

Ho!

Ho! So show me family
Hey! All the blood that I will bleed
Ho! I don't know where I belong
Hey! I don't know where I went wrong
Ho! But I can write a song
Hey!

1, 2, 3
I belong with you,
You belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you
You belong with me
You're my sweet
Ho!

Hey!
Ho!
Hey!

Ho! I don't think you're right for him
Hey! Think of what it might have been if you
Ho! Took a bus to China Town
Hey! I'd be standing on Canal
Ho! And Bowery
Hey!
Ho! And she'd be standing next to me
Hey!

I belong with you
You belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you
You belong with me
You're my sweetheart

Love, we need it now
Let's hope for some
Cause, oh, we're bleeding out

I belong with you
You belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you
You belong with me
You're my sweet
Ho!

Hey!
Ho!
The last one
Hey!

One red thread - Blind Pilot

Oh, from the first that the line got drawn
It was poison in the land it was on
One red thread through the middle of a song
My only one
My only one

I can't remember the age that I was
But not that story that pumped in my blood
When you were the saviour
And I was the taker of
Oh, where I was

Oh, but man, oh, man, you can do what you want
Oh, man, oh, man, you can do what you want
The only line that is true is the line you're from

I have to say there was a mile or two
I had the itch to fly and I flew
Now at best we would make our dreams
With something used
With something used

And from the minute that the line got drawn
I couldn't see straight to you for nothing
Now me, I'm the poison in one
Yeah, I'm the one
I am the

Oh, but man, oh, man, you can do what you want
Oh, man, oh, man, you can do what you want
The only line that is true is the line you're

Oh, man, oh, man, you can do what you want
Oh, man, oh, man, you can do what you want
The only line that is true is the line you're from
The only line that is true is the line you're from

The moral boy king - The Paper Kites

Night falls
We're covered over now
We're covered over now
Daylight
Sometimes it ends too soon
And I don't want to sleep

‘Til I remember lending softer ears to my lungs
‘Til I remember lending softer ears to my lungs
And maybe if I hold you now, would you hold me now?
And maybe if I hold you now, would you hold me now?

Night falls
And we're getting older too
We're getting older too
Life
Sometimes it ends too soon
Sometimes it ends too soon

‘Til I remember lending softer ears to my lungs
‘Til I remember lending softer ears to my lungs
And maybe if I hold you now, would you hold me now?
And maybe if I hold you now, would you hold me now?

We're getting older
We're getting older too

We're getting older
We're getting older too

Baby came home - The Neighbourhood

Baby came home today
Told me to stay away
She told me her man was afraid
Told me I better behave
Baby just came back around
Told me she's leaving this town
Said she needs time to explore
She said I can't love her no more

Thinking about her
She's gone all the time
I think if you found her
That even you would know

So baby packed up all she had
Promised to never come back
She left me alone and without
Skin I could study about
Tiles get colder to touch
Wood splinters, metal will rust
But baby she had all my trust
And I guess it was never enough

Thinking about her
She's gone all the time
I think if you found her
That even you would know she's mine

You know that she's mine
Baby came home today
Told me to stay away
Told me her man was afraid
Told me I better behave

Oh, no, no, I'm
Thinking about her
She's gone all the time
I think if you found her
That even you would know

She's mine, she's mine
That girl is mine, she's mine
