Mumford and Sons - The Cave

Mumford and Sons - The Cave 

 It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
'Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind
So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand
So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
'Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

The Warning - Hell You Call a Dream

The Warning - Hell You Call a Dream 

 I’ve been invaded by the need to stay inside this cage
Day after day I’m hurting but I choose to stay this way
Running out of things to say
Isn’t it normal to love what we hate?
It’s draining me out just the same
I’m in too deep
 
Give me something to believe
Oh oh oh oh
In this hell you call a dream
Oh oh oh oh
Colliding every time
The chaos drives me
Wild like an animal
Just wanna breathe
Oh oh oh oh
In this hell you call a dream
 
My vision’s blurry as the pain keeps crawling up my skin
The pressure's building and I’m on the verge of caving in
Ready and out for the kill if
This can’t bring me to life then what will?
Suffering just for the thrill
I’m in too deep
 
Give me something to believe
Oh oh oh oh
In this hell you call a dream
Oh oh oh oh
Colliding every time
The chaos drives me
Wild like an animal
Just wanna breathe
Oh oh oh oh
In this hell you call a dream
 
Eyes are always open in the dark
I’ve been under water right from the start
Rope is wearing thin I can’t take anymore
More!
 
Give me something to believe
Oh oh oh oh
In this hell you call a dream
Oh oh oh oh
Colliding every time
The chaos drives me
Wild like an animal
Just wanna breathe
Oh oh oh oh
 
Maybe I don’t wanna be!
Oh oh oh oh
In this hell you call a dream
Oh oh oh oh
Colliding every time
The chaos drives me
Wild like an animal
Just wanna breathe
Oh oh oh oh
In this hell you call a dream

 

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Face Down

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Face Down 

 Hey, girl, you know you drive me crazy
one look puts the rhythm in my head.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.

Cover up with makeup in the mirror
tell yourself, it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever, you will surely drown
I see what's going down.

I see the way you go and say you're right again,
say you're right again
Heed my lecture.

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has...

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
It's coming round again.
[x2] 

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has...

Face down in the dirt, she said,
"This doesn't hurt", she said,
"I finally had enough."
[x2]

John 5:19-47

 19      Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do:  for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

20      For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth:  and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

21      For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

22      For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

23      That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father.  He that honoureth not the Son
           honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

24     Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

25    Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God:  and they that hear shall live.

26     For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

27     And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

28    Marvel not at this:  for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

29    And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

30    I can of mine own self do nothing:  as I hear, I judge:  and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

31    If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

32    There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

33    Ye sent unto John and he bare witness unto the truth.

34    But I receive not testimony from man:  but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

35    He was a burning and a shining light:  and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

36    But I have greater witness than that of John:  for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

37    And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me.  Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

38    And ye have not his word abiding in you:  for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

39    Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life:  and they are they which testify of me.

40    And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

41    I receive not honour from men.

42    But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43    I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not:  if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44    How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

45    Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father:  there is one that accuseth you, even Moses in whom ye trust.

46    For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me:  for he wrote of me.

47    But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?    

John 5:19-47   KJV

Psalm 55

 GIVE ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

Attend unto me, and hear me:  I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked:  for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

My heart is sore pained within me:  and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!  for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness.  Selah.

I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues:  for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:  mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

Wickedness is in the midst thereof:  deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it:  neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: 

But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell:  for wickedness is in their dwellings,

and among them.

As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:  and he shall hear my voice.

He hath delivered me in peace from the battle that was against me:  for there were many with me.

God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old.  Selah.  Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him:  he hath broken his covenant.

The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart:  his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee:  he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction, bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but  I will trust in thee.  

Psalm 55 KJV

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.

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
Yeah I’m in love with

The Devil is real and I’m caught in his grip

[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.

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

Paramore - Ignorance

 Paramore - Ignorance 

 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

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

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

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

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

 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

Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out

 Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out 

 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.
