Echo - Jason Walker

Hello, hello, anybody out there?
Cause I don't hear a sound, alone, alone
I don't really know where the world is
But I miss it now

I'm out on the edge
And I'm screaming my name like a fool
At the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I pretend I'm alright, but it's never enough

Cause my echo, echo, is the only voice coming back
Shadow, shadow is the only friend that I have

Listen, listen
I would take a whisper if that's all you had to give
But it isn't, is it?
You could come and save me
And try to chase the crazy right out of my head

I'm out on the edge
And I'm screaming my name like a fool
At the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I pretend I'm alright, but it's never enough

Cause my echo, echo, is the only voice coming back
Shadow, shadow is the only friend that I have

I don't wanna be an island
I just wanna feel alive
And get to see your face again

I don't wanna be island
I just wanna feel alive
And get to see your face again

But 'til then just my echo
My shadow, you're my only friend and

I'm out on the edge
And I'm screaming my name like a fool
At the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I pretend I'm alright, but it's never enough

Cause my echo, echo
Oh my shadow, shadow

Hello, hello
Anybody out there?

Don't stop to breathe - Parabelle

When you start to speak is when you start to shake
When you side step the questions, do you break a leg?
When the time has passed on another day
Did you fall that far just to pave the way?

And all of the things that you said to me
And all of the ways that you make believe
That the life that we shared hasn’t come unglued in front of us

Stop making a mess
Stop making it worse
Stop living a lie
Just to kill a curse
And I will be the one your heart’s mistaken
Let it go

And I don’t know what kind of shape you’re in
Or who will tell you what you want to hear
Not me, I’ll live, but you’ll know the hurt
When the picture in my hand says
It’s over now can you feel it too?
When what you say isn’t what you do
The time hasn’t come yet to say goodbye
Not for us

Stop making a mess
Stop making it worse
Stop living a lie
Just to kill a curse
And I will be the one your heart’s mistaken

Don’t stop to breathe
If you’re gonna leave just leave
I believe in what I see
If you’re gonna leave just leave
Just leave
And I will bury you, I will bury you
We both know how it feels
And the fallout will bury you

Stop making a fight
Stop making it right
And I will be the one your heart’s forgotten

Stop making a mess
Stop making it worse
Stop living a lie
Just to kill a curse
And I will be the one your heart’s mistaken
Let it go

Stop making a mess
Stop making it worse
Stop living a lie
Just to kill a curse
And I will be the one your heart mistaken
Let it go

Don't stop to breathe
I will bury you
There’s a place in my heart
Where we could be better off alone
I will bury you
Let it go

She is the sunlight - Trading Yesterday

And if all the flowers faded away
And if all the storm clouds decided to stay
Then you would find me
Each hour the same
Cause she is tomorrow
And I am today

Cause if right is leaving
I'd rather be wrong
Cause she is the sunlight
The sun is gone

And if loving her is
Is heartache for me
And if holding her means
That I have to bleed
Then I am the martyr
Love is to blame
Cause she is the healing
And I am the pain

She lives in a daydream
She lives in a daydream
Where I don't belong
She is the sunlight
And the sun is gone

And it will take this life of regret
For my heart to learn to forget
Tomorrow will be as it always has been
And I will fall to her again
For I know I have come too close

Cause if right is leaving
I'd rather be wrong
Cause she is the sunlight
And the sun is gone

She is the sunlight
And the sun is gone

Murder of one - Counting Crows

Blue morning, blue morning
Wrapped in strands of fist and bone
Curiosity, kitten
Doesn't have to mean you're on your own
You can look outside your window
He doesn't have to know
We can talk awhile, baby
We can take it nice and slow

All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream

Are you happy where you're sleeping?
Does he keep you safe and warm?
Does he tell you when you're sorry?
Does he tell you when you're wrong?
I've been watching you for hours
It's been years since we were born
We were perfect when we started
I've been wondering where we've gone

All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream

I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow
Casting shadows on the winter sky
As you stood there counting crows

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for girls
And four for boys
Five for silver
Six for gold and
Seven for a secret never to be told

There's a bird that nests inside you
Sleeping underneath your skin
When you open up your wings to speak
I wish you'd let me in

All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream

Open up your eyes
You can see the flames, flames, flames
Of your wasted life
You should be ashamed

You don't want to waste your life, baby
You don't wanna waste your life, now darling
You don't wanna waste your life, baby
You don't wanna waste your life, now darling
You don't wanna waste your life, now babe
I said you don't wanna waste your life, now darling
You don't wanna waste your life, now baby
You don't wanna, you don't wanna waste your life, now darling
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change

I walk along these hillsides
In the summer beneath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me

I said I walk along these hillsides
In the summer beneath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me

I said I will walk along these hillsides
In the summer beneath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me

I said I will walk along these hillsides
In the summer beneath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight
Change, change, change

Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change

Bottom of the floor - Dishwalla

You're not the one to live for, you're not the one to die for
And you think you know what life's about
And when the bottom of your floor starts falling out, it's falling out

Last night at the party, you let it out
You never seem happy, it wears me out
At something so stupid, you wear the crown

And there will always be this thing
You just can't live without, so pull your head out

You're not the one to live for, you're not the one to die for
And you think you know what life's about
But when the bottom of your floor starts falling out, it's falling out

Later at the party, I was passing out
You're something so filthy, it eats me out
It needs never ending, you wear the crown

There will always be this thing
You just can't live without, so pull your head out

You're not the one to live for, you're not the one to die for
And you think you know what life's about
But when the bottom of the floor starts falling out, you're falling out

There will always be this thing
You just can't live without, so pull your head out

You're not the one to live for, you're not the one to die for
And you think you know what life's about
But when the bottom of your floor starts falling out, it's falling out

Are you alarmed? - Parabelle

Listen to me
Cause I'm the one you wanted
To feel peace again

A dollar says the angel was a quitter
You're not the only one
Taken for granted
Has it gotten worse?
Just take it till it works

He thought he wouldn't hurt again
Cheap threats
Beg for you to be a man
What makes a heartless nightmare
Beat you down again?

So far away
I know it's wrong
But it looks so good on paper
I don't understand
First you're up, then you're down
And you fight the urge to kill again

A better guess would be the devils' undercover
She said the red pills kept her together
Now her head is full of words
And she twists them till it hurts
Twists them till it hurts
Twists them till it hurts

Hated
One sided insight
She hopes you found the cure
The total or the worth

So far away
I know it's wrong
But it looks so good on paper
I don't understand
First you're up, then you're down
And you fight the urge to kill again

And I know
Some things are worth the wait
And I know
That you'll be reaching out
Are you alarmed?
Are you alarmed?

This is the piece that resisted
This is the piece that you're missing
A little luck
This is a major commitment
This is the last time you'll face it
This is his last ditch resistance
This is the road to persistence
If this is the major attraction
Are you alarmed?

This is the way you can fix it
This is the way you convince me
This is the way you can fix me
This is the way you fuck off

So far away
I know it's wrong
But it looks so good on paper
I don't understand
First you're up, then you're down
And you fight the urge to kill again

How - Regina Spektor

How can I forget your love?
How can I never see you again?
There is a time and place
For one more sweet embrace
And is it time, oh, when it all, oh, went wrong

I guess you know by now
That we will meet again somehow

Oh, baby, how can I begin again?
How can I try to love someone new?
Someone who isn’t you
How can our love be true?
When I’m not, oh, I’m not over you

I guess you know by now
That we will meet again somehow

Time can come and take away the pain
But I just want my memories to remain
To hear your voice
To see your face
There’s not one moment I’d erase
You are a guest here now

So baby, how can I forget your love?
How can I never see you again?
How can I ever know why some stay, others go?
When I don’t, oh, I don’t want you to go

I guess I know by now
That we will meet again somehow

Time can come and wash away the pain
But I just want my mind to stay the same
To hear your voice
To see your face
There’s not one moment I’d erase
You are a guest here now

So baby, how can I forget your love?
How can I never see you again?

Actions are actions - Low vs. Diamond

He's an over-privileged boy
Who's careless with his words
His actions are the actions of a child
To know the right from the wrong
Growing up beside you I watched your every move
And everything you'd say I'd say to
You could do nothing wrong as far as I could see
Now you're closing the door and that's fine by me

Cause we've gotten older and things have grown colder
And I don't know why
So threatened by nothing
I know you think it's something more
That's all in your head

There are days I know I'm wrong
And then there's times I know that I am right
I really hope you figure out
You learn exactly when to choose your fights
You pick him up, he'll kick you down again
You wanna see what's in my mind

Cause we've gotten older and things have grown colder
And I don't know why
So threatened by nothing
I know you think it's something more
That's all in your head

It's hard on them to see you hurting
Can't you see that, child?
It's hard on me to see you sleeping through yourself
It's hard on us
Can't you see that you are missing out on this?
That's all in your head

Your actions are your actions are
Your actions are your actions are
Your actions are your actions are
Your actions are your actions are

It's all in your head

Times, he's nothing to me
But some tired joke I've heard
But I won't turn my face and look away
I still care about you, but you're desperately lost
And you're hurting us all
You don't know the cost

Some nights - Fun

Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for?
What do I stand for?
Most nights I don't know anymore

This is it, boys, this is war
What are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked
But here they come again to jack my style

That's alright (that's alright)
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who, who, who I am?
Oh, who am I?

Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win, I always win

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for?
What do I stand for?
Most nights I don't know, oh, come on

So this is it. I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?

(Come on)

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on
Oh, come on
Oh, come on
Oh, come on

Well, that is it guys, that is all
Five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home;
Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
When I look into my nephew's eyes
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from
Some terrible nights

The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree

It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance

Beside you - Marianas Trench

When your tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense
When it's in your spine, like you've walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while

And if your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you

When you're overwhelmed and you've lost your breath
When the space between the things you know is blurry nonetheless
When you try to speak, but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach, but they've never been so loud

If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you

I will stay
Nobody will break you, yeah

Trust in me, trust in me
Don't pull away
Just trust in me, trust in me
Cause I'm just trying to keep this together
Because I could do worse and you could do better

Tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense

And if your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you

And if your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you
