2 Peter chapter 3

 THIS second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?  for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue
as they were from the beginning of the creation.

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth 
standing out of the water and in the water:

Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire
against the day of judgement and perdition of ungodly men.

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering 
to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away
with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that
are therein shall be burned up.

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy
conversation and godliness.

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, 
without spot, and blameless.

And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation, even as our beloved brother Paul also
according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  To him be glory both now and for ever.  Amen.

So I will spend today saying hello
And all the hopes and dreams I may have borrowed
Just know my friend I leave them all to you 
Hello x6

I Prevail - Bad Things

 I Prevail - Bad Things 

 

 I’ve got a lot of bad things in my mind
The simulation crashing by design
And my mind is dangerous
Don’t play with things you don’t
know know know know

I’m falling into dark thoughts that I find
Reality is long gone but that’s fine
And my mind is dangerous
Don’t play with things you don’t
know know know know

I know you hate to see it, but you never wanna talk about it
And hate yourself a little more when you can’t live without it
It’s like praying for rain when you’re already drowning
You’re already drowning, Yeah

So go ahead and twist the knife, I can’t feel the damage
Always searching for the high, never kicked the habit
It’s like praying for rain but I’m already drowning

I keep staring at the sun
it’s in my blood
I’m heading for disaster
Burn bridges just for fun
Have I gone numb? it’s a God damn shame
I push away the people that I love the most
Addicted to the feeling and the chemicals
I’m holding onto hope, but it only destroys me
Cause I’m in love with bad things
Yeah I’m in love with

I keep on falling like it’s summer going into autumn
I keep on digging even though I’m bout to hit the bottom
I keep praying for change, but I never found it, no I never found it

Yeah

So go ahead and twist the knife, I can’t feel the damage
Always searching for the high, never kicked the habit
It’s like praying for change but I never found it

I keep staring at the sun
it’s in my blood
I’m heading for disaster
Burn bridges just for fun
Have I gone numb? it’s a God damn shame
I push away the people that I love the most
Addicted to the feeling and the chemicals
I’m holding onto hope, but it only destroys me
Cause I’m in love with bad things
Yeah I’m in love with

Looking into the abyss, the future is a myth
I’m holding onto hope, it’s a problem I admit
Letting go of my fear, a feeling I miss
The Devil is real and I’m caught in his grip
Looking into the abyss, the future is a myth
I’m holding onto hope, it’s a problem I admit
Letting go of my fear, a feeling I miss
The Devil is real
And I’m caught in his grip

I keep staring at the sun
it’s in my blood
I’m heading for disaster
Burn bridges just for fun
Have I gone numb? it’s a God damn shame
I push away the people that I love the most
Addicted to the feeling and the chemicals
I’m holding onto hope, but it only destroys me
Cause I’m in love with bad things
Yeah I’m in love with bad things

[Part I]

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Can't shut me up
I put my faith in a loaded gun
They try to cut me down
I was raised in a dying town, yeah
I miss my drugs (Drugs)
They been my friends since twenty-one
Still, I'm burning out (Out)
You'll probably die before I make you proud, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
All the pages are blank 'til my life goes to shit
I know I do that on purpose just to write again

[Chorus]
Paint my car black (Paint it black)
Burn my last check (Burn it all)
Lose all contact (Gone again)
Fake my own death (** it all)
Make me feel like I'm alive (Yeah; oh)

[Verse 2]
Run, rebel, run
Don't let 'em turn you into what they want
I'm bad to the bone
Two wheels and the body's chrome, yеah
My speech still slurs
I started drinking after I left church
But I still can't sleep
This mеdication doesn't work on me, no

[Chorus]
Paint my car black (Paint it black)
Burn my last check (Burn it all)
Lose all contact (Gone again)
Fake my own death (** it all)
Make me feel like I'm alive (Oh)
Make me feel like I'm alive (Yeah, yeah, oh)

[Part II]

[Chorus]
Oh, take me somewhere cheap
Where the livin' is easy (Uh)
Out of all their reach
Set my spirit free

[Post-Chorus]
I feel confined by societal norms
I was born to walk the line
Survived bein' insecure
But it led to my decline (Uh-uh)

[Verse]
This time, I don't think I'll turn back
This time, I'ma do shit my way
I'm gone by the time they come back
This route is a one-road highway
Same face with a brand-new wardrobe
My old clothes in gasoline
Smoke hand-rolled cigs, I'm a old soul
I feel just like James Dean

[Chorus]
Oh, take me somewhere cheap
Where the livin' is easy
Out of all their reach
Set my spirit free

[Bridge]
What's left behind? What's left behind?
Can't take it with me
Nothing's left behind, nothing's left behind
Can't take it with me

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Psalm 117

 O PRAISE the LORD, all ye nations; praise him, all ye people.

For his merciful kindness is great toward us:  and the truth of
the LORD endureth forever.  Praise ye the LORD.

James 5 - KJV

 James 5

GO to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you,
and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 

Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back
by fraud, crieth:  and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.  Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts:  for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned:  behold, the judge standeth before the door.

Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

Behold, we count them happy which endure.  Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

Is any among you afflicted? let him pray.  Is any merry?  let him sing psalms.

Is any sick among you?  let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him,
anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, 
they shall be forgiven him.

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: 
and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;

Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul
from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Cage the Elephant - Ready to Let Go

 Cage the Elephant - Ready to Let Go

 [Verse 1]
Sun went down, sun went down over Pompeii
On both sides, a vow was broken
Oh my, my, I'm the one
Trying to hide this damage done
One day, all our secrets will be spoken

[Pre-Chorus]
As we slow danced, I became your statue, frozen
Times I wonder are we just a puff of smoke? Yeah
Underneath this bed of ashes, still withholding everything
Like we were never close

[Chorus]
Don’t you worry, baby, no sense trying to change it
I'ma strike these matches, never had control
I'm ready to let go, no, was I fooling myself?
I’ma spread these ashes, never had control
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to let go

[Verse 2]
Sun went down, sun went down over Pompeii
On holy ground, our vows were broken
We met up, we broke bread
I was blue, your dress was red
Ain't it strange?
We both knew this day was coming

[Pre-Chorus]
As we slow danced, I became your statue, frozen
Times I wonder are we just a puff of smoke? Yeah
Underneath this bed of ashes, still withholding everything
Like we were never close

[Chorus]
Don't you worry, baby, no sense trying to change it
I'ma strike these matches, never had control
I'm ready to let go, no, was I fooling myself?
I’ma spread these ashes, never had control
I’m ready, I'm ready, I’m ready to let go

[Chorus]
Don't you worry, baby, no sense trying to change it
I'ma strike these matches, never had control
I'm ready to let go, no, was I fooling myself?
I’ma spread these ashes, never had control
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to let go

 If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore

Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, oh, we're not the same

Yeah, The friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer, and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person, but you can't take it

The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, oh, we're not the same

Yeah, we used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

1 John Chapter 4

 BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God:
because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God:  Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ 
is come in the flesh is of God:

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God;
and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now
already is it in the world.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:  because greater is he that is in you,
than he that is in the world.

They are of the world; therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

We are of God; he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us.  
Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Beloved, let us love one another:  for love is of God; and every one that loveth
is born of God, and knoweth God.

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten
Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be
the propitiation for our sins.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

No man hath seen God at any time.  If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, 
and his love is perfected in us.

Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.  God is love; and he that 
dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: 
because as he is, so are we in this world.

There is not fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:  because fear hath 
torment.  He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

We love him, because he first loved us.

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar:  for he that loveth
not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

And this commandment have we from him.  That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know

 Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know 

 Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go 
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

I used to know
That I used to know

Somebody...

Paramore - Monster

 Paramore - Monster 

 You were my conscience, so solid
Now you're like water
And we started drowning
Not like we'd sink any further
But I let my heart go,
It's somewhere down at the bottom
But I'll get a new one
And come back for the hope that you've stolen

I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster and eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well now that you're gone, the world is ours

I'm only human, I've got a skeleton in me
But I'm not the villain
Despite what you're always preaching
Call me a traitor, I'm just collecting your victims
And they're getting stronger
I hear them calling

Calling

I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, and eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well now that you're gone, the world is ours

Well you find your strength in solution
But I liked the tension
And not always knowing the answers
But you're gonna lose it, you're gonna lose it

I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, and eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Well now that you're gone, the world...

I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Now that you're gone, the world is ours

All American Rejects - Gives You Hell

 All American Rejects - Gives You Hell 

 I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you're still probably working
At a nine to five pace
I wonder how bad that tastes
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
Now where's your picket fence love
And where's that shiny car
And did it ever get you far
You never seemed so tense love
I've never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are
And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Where'd it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on
And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell
Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
You can't look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you hear this song and you sing along but you never tell
Then you're the fool, I'm just as well
Hope it gives you hell
When you hear this song
I hope that it will treat you well
You can sing along
I hope that it puts you through hell

 So if you're lonely, you know I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a cross-hair, I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here, you leave me broken shattered I lie
I'm just a cross-hair, I'm just a shot then we can die

I know I won't be leaving here with you

I say, don't you know?
You say, you don't know
I say, take me out!
I say, you don't show
Don't move, time is slow
I say, take me out!

Well I say, you don't know?
You say, you don't go
I say, take me out!

If I move, this could die
Eyes move, this can die
I want you to take me out

I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here with you

I say, don't you know?
You say, you don't know
I say, take me out!

If I wane, this could die
I wait, this could die
I want you to take me out
If I move, this could die
Eyes move, this can die
Come on, take me out

I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here with you

Romans 3

 WHAT advantage then hath the Jew?  or what profit is there of circumcision?

Much every way; chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

For what if some did not believe?  shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

God forbid:  yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest
be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God 
unrighteous who taketh vengeance?  (I speak as a man)

God forbid:  for then how shall God judge the world?

For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I
also judged as a sinner? 

And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,)
Let us do evil, that good may come?  whose damnation is just.

What then?  are we better than they?  No, in no wise:  for we have before proved 
both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one:

There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable;
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; 
the poison of asps is under their lips:

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

Their feet are swift to shed blood:

Destruction and misery are in their ways:

And the way of peace have they not known:

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who
are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may
become guilty before God.

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight:  
for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed 
by the law and the prophets;

Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon 
all them that believe:  for there is no difference:

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare
his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness:  that he might be just, and the justifier of
him which believeth in Jesus.

Where is boasting then?  It is excluded.  By what law?  of works?  Nay:  but by the law of faith.

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Is he the God of the Jews only?  is he not also of the Gentiles?  Yea, of the Gentiles also:

Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through
faith.

Do we then make void the law through faith?  God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade

My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade 

When I was a young boy, my father
Took me into the city to see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up would you be
The savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"
He said, "Will you defeat them? Your demons
And all the non-believers, the plans that they have made?
Because one day, I'll leave you a phantom
To lead you in the summer to join the black parade..."
When I was a young boy, my father
Took me into the city to see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up would you be
The savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"

Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go
And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets
And when you're gone, we want you all to know

We'll carry on, we'll carry on, and though you're
Dead and gone, believe me, your memory will carry on
We'll carry on,and in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it

A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back, let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call

To carry on, we'll carry on, and though you're
Dead and gone, believe me, your memory will carry on
We'll carry on,and though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches

On and on, we carry through the fears (Oh, oh, oh)
Disappointed faces of your peers(Oh, oh, oh)
Take a look at me, 'cause I could not care at all

Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
I won't explain or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars
Give a cheer for all the broken
Listen here, because it's who we are
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who had to sing this song
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
I don't care!

We'll carry on, we'll carry on, and though you're
Dead and gone, believe me, your memory will carry on
We'll carry on,and though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches

Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part(We'll carry on!)
Do or die, you'll never make me(We'll carry on!)
Because the world will never take my heart(We'll carry on!)
Go and try, you'll never break me(We'll carry-)
We want it all, we wanna play this part(We'll carry on...)

Paramore - Misery Business

Paramore - Misery Business 

 

I'm in the business of misery
Let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth

I waited eight long months
She finally set him free
I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me
Two weeks and we caught on fire
She's got it out for me
But I wear the biggest smile

Woah, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Woah, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who
They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

Woah, I never meant brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Woah, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him right now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good.

I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving...

Woah, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now

Woah, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Woah, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good

System of a Down - Toxicity

System of a Down - Toxicity 

You, what do you own the world? How do you own disorder, disorder?

Now, somewhere between the sacred silence, sacred silence and sleep

Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep

Disorder, disorder, disorder



Psalm 23

 THE LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.  

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:  he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul:  he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:  
for thou art with me; thy rod and staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: 
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: 
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Citizen Soldier - Thank You for Hating Me 

 Thank you for hating me
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Thank you for hating me

I used to lose so much sleep over what you stole from me
But now the tables turned; I'm the lion, you're the sheep
You turn my vulnerability on me like a weapon (Oh-oh)
Taking knives in the back really taught me a lesson (Oh-oh)

I just wanna thank you
I just wanna thank you

For beating me down, for messing me up
For making me feel I'm not enough
For running your mouth, for showing no love
For setting me off like a loaded gun
Thank you for making me
Stronger than I thought I could ever be
Thank you for hating me

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Thank you for hating me

I know you criticize to hide how much you hate yourself
So here's some money, my friend, go get some help
I feel so sorry for you 'cause you're always gonna be alone (Oh-oh)
The world will know my name not yours, you're my stepping stone (Oh-oh)

I just wanna thank you
I just wanna thank you

For beating me down, for messing me up
For making me feel I'm not enough
For running your mouth, for showing no love
For setting me off like a loaded gun
Thank you for making me
Stronger than I thought I could ever be
Thank you for hating me

 

I'm moving on, I'm on the mend
'Cause living well is the best revenge
Forever changed, I'm born again
'Cause living well is the best revenge

Thank you for hating me
Thank you for

For beating me down, for messing me up
For making me feel I'm not enough
For running your mouth, for showing no love
For setting me off like a loaded gun
Thank you for making me
Stronger than I thought I could ever be
Thank you for hating me

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Thank you for hating me

Muse - Kill or Be Killed

 Muse - Kill or Be Killed 

Cornered, I’m exhausted with fear 
Our love and compassion dissolved 
And demons, have materialised in me
Can’t fight them, they’re taking control
And we’ve tried, oh we’ve tried so hard to be good 
But the world rewards us when we’re bad 
 
Fate, is driving me insane
It’s forcing me to face
I must kill or be killed
 
Kill or be killed
 
They’ve driven a stake right through my heart 
I’m growing so cold and detached
And I’ve tried, oh I’ve tried so hard to spread love 
But she prefers it when I assert control 
 
Fate has brought us here to face
Our hopes and dreams erased 
Either kill or be killed
Yah, Yah Yah Yah, Yah Yahweh Yah Yahweh Yah Yah Yah
Yah Yah Yah
Ah Eh Yah Yah
Yah Yah Yah
Kill or be killed
War
Kill or be killed
Yaaahhh
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah
Either kill or be killed
 
Fate, is driving me insane
It’s forcing me to face
I must kill or be killed
Kill or be killed
Kill or be killed
Kill or be killed
Kill or be killed
Kill or be killed

Rocket Science - Burn in Hell

Rocket Science - Burn in Hell

 I was dancing like a crazy man
The record played my favourite sound
Said, "Girl you're too damn cute"
She said, "I prefer a man in a Sunday suit"

You know, I like to burn in hell
Yeah, I've got my soul to sell

The car was hot but my mind was steady
The boat was hot but the night was heavy
I said, "Girl you make me feel so good"
And said "I'm just bad with the firey burn"

You know, I like to burn in hell
Ah yeah, I got my soul to sell

Burn in hell!
Wow!

Go!

I was feelin' like a stupid top
The people yellin' and they make me stop
The walls lowered and they quivered with bugs
Y'know the bad flew away when we made love

Yeah, I like to burn in hell
Yeah, I've got my soul to sell

 Burn in hell!
Wow!

Go, go, go, wooow!

Burn in hell, burn in hell, burn in hell
Woow, look out!

Oh wow!

 

Proverbs 23

 WHEN thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
  
   2  And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

   3  Be not desirous of his dainties:  for they are deceitful meat.

   4  Labour not to be rich:  cease from thine own wisdom.

   5  Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?  for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an  eagle toward heaven.

   6  Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
 
   7  For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:  Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

   8  The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

   9  Speak not in the ears of a fool:  for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

  10  Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

  11  For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.

  12  Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
  
  13  Withhold not correction from the child:  for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

  14  Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

  15  My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

  16  Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

  17  Let not thine heart envy sinners:  but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

  18  For surely there is an end:  and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

  19  Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

  20  Be not among winebibbers;  among riotous eaters of flesh:

  21  For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty, and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

  22  Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

  23  Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

  24  The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice:  and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

  25  Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

  26  My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

  27  For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.

  28  She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.

  29  Who hath woe?  who hath sorrow?  who hath contentions?  who hath babbling?  who hath wounds without cause?  who hath  redness of eyes?

  30  They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

  31  Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

  32  At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

  33  Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

  34  Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

  35  They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake?  I will seek it yet again.

Fall Out Boy - My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)

Fall Out Boy - My Songs Know What You Did in The Dark 

 Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.

B-B-B-Be careful making wishes in the dark, dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
And besides in the mean, mean time
I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart

I'm in the de-details with the devil
So now the world can never get me on my level
I just gotta get you off the cage
I'm a young lover's rage
Gonna need a spark to ignite

My songs know what you did in the dark

So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire

So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark

All the writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just dies
I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
That you're the antidote to everything except for me, me

A constellation of tears on your lashes
Burn everything you love, then burn the ashes
In the end everything collides
My childhood spat back out the monster that you see

My songs know what you did in the dark

So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire

So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark

My songs know what you did in the dark
(My songs know what you did in the dark)

So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire

So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.

Pierce The Veil - "Today I Saw The Whole World" (Acoustic)

 Pierce the Veil - Today I Saw The Whole World 

 Baby, pour over
Tell me, are we concrete?
What would you do without my perfect company to your undressed spine?
And I can hear you drag behind my car by your broken legs 
Swallowing stitches in her sleep 
As she stole my only view, may I never blink 

While you stood over the pavement 
I was biting the curb
Cheap entertainment
But I'll bet it feels good coming down 
Can't bear to wash out the wasted time
Between your lips and mine

Zero friends
Followed your voice into a sea of crosses
She blends in with the foxes gold and feels like home
Under the surface my love 
But beware, beware, beware 
And take it slow tonight  
We're on the other side of the road 
I think we're bleeding out 

While you stood over the pavement 
I was biting the curb
Sick entertainment
But I'll bet it feels good coming down 
Can't bear to wash out the wasted time
Between our lips 
So c'mon and swing it back and forth just like 
My heart is on a pendulum tonight 
If your lungs are mine 
I only wanna watch your clouds linger in the darkness

Oh, can't you feel it 
You're feeding on my restless soul 
Oh, can't you see that
It's never enough, it's never enough

Today I saw the whole world 
And I think heaven has a plot to take my life 
Listen, I'm the one who made you 
I'll be the one who brings you down
But this will be the last time 

Bite on the curb 
Sick entertainment
Oh, I'll bet it feels good when you're coming down 
Can't bear to wash out the wasted time
Between our lips 
So c'mon and swing it back and forth just like 
My heart is on a pendulum tonight 
If your lungs are mine 
I only wanna watch your clouds linger in the darkness
