Alex Melton - Fix You (if Coldplay's "Fix You" Was An Emo Anthem)

  Alex Melton - Fix You

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above, or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face, and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face, and I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Rock Choir - Sweet Child of Mine (Guns 'N Roses)

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky (Sky)
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long I'd probably break down and cry

Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh-oh-oh! Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm, safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by

Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine
Ooh, oh-oh-oh! Sweet love of mine

Oh yeah! Whoa-oh-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine
Ooh-oh, oh, oh! Sweet love of mine
Whoa, oh-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine, ooh yeah
Ooh! Sweet love of mine

Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Ooh, where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go now?
Where do we go? (Sweet child)
Ooh, where do we go now?
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Where do we go now? Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, wow
Where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Ooh, where do we go now?
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Sweet child, sweet child o' mine

Job Chapter 40

1    MOREOVER the LORD answered Job, and said,

2    Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him?  he that reproveth God, let him answer it.


3    Then Job answered the LORD, and said, 

4    Behold, I am vile;  what shall I answer thee?  I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

5    Once have I spoken;  but I will not answer:  yea, twice;  but I will proceed no further.


6    Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

7    Gird up thy loins now like a man:  I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

8    Wilt thou also disannul my judgment?  wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

9    Hast thou an arm like God?  or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

10    Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency;  and array thyself with glory and beauty.

11    Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath:  and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

12    Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low;  and tread down the wicked in their place.

13    Hide them in the dust together;  and bind their faces in secret.

14    Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.


15    Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee;  he eateth grass as an ox.

16    Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

17    He moveth his tail like a cedar:  the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

18    His bones are as strong pieces of brass;  his bones are like bars of iron.

19    He is the chief of the ways of God:  he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

20    Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

21    He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

22    The shady trees cover him with their shadow;  the willows of the brook compass him about.

23    Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not:  he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

24    He taketh it with his eyes:  his nose pierceth through snares.

Shinedown - Her Name is Alice -- December 29, 2018 at House Of Blues in Orlando, FL.

 Shinedown - Her Name is Alice

[Intro (Spoken)]
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense
Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't

[Verse 1]
I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time
And every creature lends themself to change your state of mind
And the girl that chased the rabbit, drank the wine, and took the pill
Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels

[Pre-Chorus 1]
To stand outside your virtue
No one can ever hurt you
Or so they say

[Chorus]
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window, through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she knows...

[Verse 2]
Sometimes the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain
And every ounce of innocence is left inside her brain
And through the looking glass we see she's painfully returned
But now 'Off With Her Head', I fear, is everyone's concern

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You see there's no real ending
It's only the beginning
Come out and play

[Chorus]
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window, through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she's unlocked the meaning for you

[Pre-Chorus 3]
This kingdom, good riddance
Her freedom and innocence
Has brought this whole thing down

[Chorus]
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into to the window, through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she's unlocked the meaning

[Bridge]
Red knights, white knights, marching into the fight
Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me
Red knights, white knights, marching into the fight
Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me
She's unlocked the meaning for you
[Outro (Spoken)]
And contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn't be
And what it wouldn't be, it would, you see?
 

Seether - Rise Above This

 Seether - Rise Above This

Take the light, undarken everything around me
Call the clouds and listen closely I'm lost without you
Call your name every day when I feel so helpless
I've fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this

Hate the mind, regrets are better left unspoken
For all we know, this void will grow
And everything's in vain, distressing you though it leaves me open
Feels so right, but I'll end this all before it gets me

Call your name every day when I feel so helpless
I've fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Call your name every day when I seem so helpless
I've fallen down, and I'll rise above this, rise above this doubt

I'll mend myself before it gets me 
(I'll mend myself before it gets me)
I'll mend myself before it gets me 
(I'll mend myself before it gets me)

Call your name every day when I feel so helpless
I've fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Forty eight ways to say that I'm feelin' helpless
I'm Falling down, falling down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this, 
Rise above this, rise above this doubt

Miss those days, my yesteryears
Filled with pride, packed with fear
I was pushing forward, liked to do make-believe
Walked like a saint, ran with a band of thieves

[Chorus]
I was looking up (Looking up)
While feeling down (Down)
Yeah, I searched in all directions
For a universal smile
I was looking up (Looking up)
While feeling down (Down)
Then I heard your heartbeat, baby
And I saw your precious smile
Oh, Lord

[Verse 2]
All the stars I stared upon
Said, "God is great, but you're on your own"
Living life in color, practicing in black and white
Comforting my creatures, Jesus hanging by my side

[Chorus]
I was looking up (Looking up)
While feeling down (Down)
Yеah, I searched in all directions
For a univеrsal smile
I was looking up (Looking up)

Oh, that's sweet (Looking up)

Another day, newspapers say
Life, what you do to me?
I'm always here, you're always there
Hope, that's my company

Yeah, stars have always so many wishes though
They can tell what we already know
See, I'm just gathering all my eyes can see through

Familiar wags, the evening stares
Life, what you say to me?
I'm promised here, you're precious there
Love, you're my destiny

 Collective Soul - You

Time - I always need more time
To figure what I've lost
To learn what what I should find...

Soon - I'm always hoping soon
I'll figure what to add
I'll learn what to remove...

New Sunrise - New Sunsets
New stories I haven't lived through yet...

With you.... [Chorus]:
It's always been you...
There's never been good days...
There's never been bad days, without you...

Choose - I've always made to choose
I'll figure what to share
I'll learn from what I've used...

New Sunrise - New Sunsets
New promises I haven't made quite yet...

To you... [Chorus]
Yeah, there's never been a day without you...
Yeah, there's never been a day
There's never been a night without you...

You... [Chorus]...
...It's always been you
...There's never those good days
...There's never those bad days, without you

Job Chapter 39

1    KNOWEST thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth?  or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?  

2    Canst thou number the months that they fulfil?  or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

3    They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out they sorrows.

4    Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn;  they go forth, and return not unto them.

5    Who hath sent out the wild ass free?  or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?

6    Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.

7    He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.

8    The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.

9    Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?

10    Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow?  or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

11    Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great?  or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

12    Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into the barn?

13    Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks?  or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?  

14    Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,

15    And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.

16    She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers;  her labour is in vain without fear;

17    Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

18    What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.

19    Hast thou given the horse strength?  or hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?

20    Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper?  the glory of his nostrils is terrible.

21    He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength:  he goeth on to meet the armed men.

22    He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted;  neither turneth he back from the sword.

23    The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.

24    He swallowth the ground with fierceness and rage:  neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.

25    He said among the trumpets, Ha, ha;  and smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

26    Doth thy hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?

27    Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?

28    She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.

29    From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.

30    Her young ones also suck up blood:  and where the slain are, there is she.

Poets of the Fall - Heal My Wounds (Live in GlavClub, St. Petersburg, Russia 25.03.2010)

Poets of the Fall - Heal My Wounds

I burn to make you understand
One wrong word and it all may come crashing down
For the fates are devious by heart
They envy you your dreams, so they'll let you drown

And there is no why, there is no how, it's like the sky, just one free flow
But you're here right now, and this is your show, so take a bow, cos the show is on right...

Here and now with all dreams realized
Would you choose still more time to do
Don't fall down when it's time to arise
No-one else can heal your wounds

Once again taboo becomes your law
What you want seems taken by another tide turning
Away from our flower field where we used to lay beneath the sky,
riding dreams to some other side

Do they burn, the wishes whispered, like secrets, they yearn, just to be heard
I'm done with questions, I have no answers, the choice is yours, cos the show is on right...

Here and now...

The bigger the lies
The more they want to believe them
And like a vice
Hold on to what they believe in

Here and now with all dreams realized
Would you choose still more time to do
Don't fall down when it's time to arise
No-one else can heal your wounds

Here and now with all dreams realized
Would you choose still more time to do
Don't fall down cos I need you to rise
No-one else can heal my wounds

Sleep Token - Past Self

 Sleep Token - Past Self

Well are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it's not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same, and some things have to change now

Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it's not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same, and some things have to change now, now, now

Clawed out of my woodwork
Bolts out of my blue depths
In and out of my dreamscapes
People acting different
One look at my past self
Double take on my cash flow
Apologising for shit that frankly I stopped thinking of years ago

And you know I deliberate on cutting out the demons
I still need a dark side, they just need a reason
The passage of the hours into rushing through the seasons
Falling through my mind with the leaves on the trees so

Keep me alive, keep me believing
That now is the time to take it or leave it
Gave away all my blessings
Lift off, weightless
Torn apart by the true believers that turned out to be faithless

Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it's not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same, and some things have to change now

Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it's not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same, and some things have to change now, now, now

Are you the guardian angel
Hacking into my brain cells
Stepping out from my future
Uploading my true self
Did I get this far for nothing or are you the reward?
Guiding hands in this hell house, opening new doors

And if this is love, then I am out of hesitation
Head over heels at elevation
Walking an inch above the pavement, taking it
Stride by stride together

If this is real, then I am all up in a frenzy
Not like before when I was empty
Say that the story we tell is never ending
Taking it side-by-side together (Side-by-side together)

Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it's not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same, and some things have to change now

Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it's not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same, and some things have to change now, now, now

I just don't wanna be lost again
I just don't wanna be lost again
I just don't wanna be lost again
I just don't wanna be lost again
I just don't wanna be lost again

Live - Selling The Drama

And to love a god
And to fear a flame
And to burn a crowd that has a name
And to right or wrong
And to meek or strong
It is known, just scream it from the wall
I've willed, I've walked, I've read
I've talked, I know, I know
I've been here before
Hey, now we won't be raped
Hey, now we won't be scarred like that
Hey, now we won't be raped
Hey, now we won't be scarred like that
It's the sun that burns
It's the wheel that turns
It's the way we sing that makes 'em dream
And to Christ a cross
And to me a chair
I will sit and earn the ransom from up here
I've willed, I've walked, I've read
I've talked, I know, I know
I've been here before
Hey, now we won't be raped
Hey, now we won't be scarred like that
Hey, now we won't be raped
Hey, now we won't be scarred like that
Scarred like that
And to love a god
And to fear a flame
And to burn a love that has a name
I've willed, I've walked, I've read
I've talked, I know, I know
I've been here before
Hey, now we won't be raped
Hey, now we won't be scarred like that
Hey, now we won't be raped
Hey, now we won't be scarred like that
Hey, now we won't be scarred like that
Hey, now we won't be scarred like that

Job Chapter 38

1    THEN the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

2    Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

3    Gird up now thy loins like a man:  for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

4    Where was thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?  declare, if thou hast understanding.

5    Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest?  or who hath stretched the line upon it?  

6    Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened?  or who laid the corner stone thereof;

7    When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8    Or who shut up the sea with door, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

9    When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

10    And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

11    And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further:  and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

12    Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days;  and caused the dayspring to know his place;

13    That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

14    It is turned as clay to the seal;  and they stand as a garment.

15    And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

16    Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea?  or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

17    Have the gates of death been opened unto thee?  or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

18    Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth?  declare if thou knowest it all.

19    Where is the way whee light dwelleth?  and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

20    That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

21    Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born?  or because the number of thy days is great?

22    Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow?  or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

23    Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

24    By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

25    Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

26    To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is;  on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

27    To satisfy the desolate and waste ground;  and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

28    Hath the rain a father?  or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

29    Out of whose womb came the ice?  and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

30    The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

31    Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleia-des, or loose the bands or Orion?  

32    Canst thou bring forth Mazza-roth in his season?  or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

33    Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven?  canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

34    Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?

35    Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?

36    Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts?  or who hath given understanding to the heart?

37    Who can number the clouds in wisdom?  or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

38    When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?

39    Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion?  or fill the appetite of the young lions,

40    When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?  

41    Who provideth for the raven his food?  when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

Hozier - Another Love (with Tom Odell) - Moda Center, Portland OR (10/25/23)

Hozier - Another Love (with Tom Odell)  

 
[Verse 1]
I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care
But it's so cold and I don't know where
I brought you daffodils in a pretty string
But they won't flower like they did last spring
And I wanna kiss you, make you feel all right
I'm just so tired to share my nights
I wanna cry and I wanna love
But all my tears have been used up

[Chorus]
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up, up

[Verse 2]
And if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight
But my hands been broken once, too many times
So I'll use my voice, I'll be so fucking rude
Words, they always win, but I know I'll lose
And I'd sing a song that'd be just ours
But I sang 'em all to another heart
And I wanna cry, I wanna learn to love
But all my tears have been used up

[Chorus]
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up, up

[Bridge]
(Oh, need a love, now, my heart is thinking of)
I wanna sing a song that'd be just ours
But I sang 'em all to another heart
And I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love
But all my tears have been used up

[Chorus]
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up, up

Bad Omens - Dying to Love

 Bad Omens - Dying to Love 

Driving home with nowhere to be
Passing ghosts that tire of sleep
Blurry faces staring at me
They’re staring but they don’t see a thing

I’ve been dying to love, dying to love, dying to love
One more second’s enough, second to love, second to love

Stepping stones that bloody your feet
Sirens holding flowers of teeth
They call your name from ivory streets
But heaven isn’t quite what it seems

I’ve been dying to love, dying to love, dying to love
One more second’s enough, second to love, second to love

They circle over the stain, my essence slipping away
Waiting their turn for a taste

So tell me how does it taste?
And was it all worth the wait? So was it worth what it takes?

Poets of the Fall - King of Fools (Alexander Theatre Sessions / Episode 1)

 Poets of the Fall - King of Fools

[Verse 1]
I worry that I can't give you what you need
That you'll find nothing underneath the peel
That I can't undo the times we disagreed
That I can't ignore the way I feel

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause what I feel is the only truth I know
And I get by on this naiveté of youth

[Chorus]
If what I feel is the only truth
And what I give out will make up what I'll receive
Can I leave behind my naiveté of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe

[Verse 2]
Could you hold us up if I would drag us down?
Resurrect emotions from our past
And if they had a king for fools, would you wear the crown?
Build us up again and make us last

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause what I feel is the only truth for me
And I get by on this naiveté of youth

[Chorus]
If what I feel is the only truth
And what I give out will make up what I'll receive
Can I leave behind my naiveté of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe

[Bridge]
And if we don't worry about a thing
Will we be sorry when the rain is falling again?
And what does it matter if fortune should favor?
It is never the final amen

[Chorus]
If what I feel is the only truth
And what I give out will make up what I'll receive
Can I leave behind my naiveté of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe

Shinedown - Save Me

 Shinedown - Save Me

I've got a candle,
And I've got a spoon
I live in a hallway 
With no doors and no rooms
Under the window sill 
They all were found 
A touch of concrete within a doorway
Without a sound

Chorus:

Someone save me if you will
And take away all these pills
And please just save me, if you can 
From the blasphemy in my wasteland

How did I get here
And what went wrong
Couldn't handle forgiveness
Now I'am far beyond gone
And I can hardly remember 
The look of my own eyes 
How could I love this
A life so dishonest
It made me compromise

Chorus

Jump in the water
Jump in with me
Jump on the altar
Lay down with me
My hardest question 
Too answer is 
WHY!!!

Chorus

Some one save me (x3)
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
Please don't erase me

Breaking Benjamin - Failure

 Breaking Benjamin - Failure

 
Life will come our way,
It has only just begun.
The world will die alone
The frail will fall below.

Time will take our place.
We return it back to one
The calm before the cold,
The long and lonely road.

Look for the light that leads me home.

Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Failure.

Drive the cloud away,
We will fall from last to none.
The dark before the dawn,
The world will carry on.

Look for the light that leads me home.

Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Tired of wasted breath, tired of nothing left.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Failure.

Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Tired of wasted breath, tired of nothing left.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.

We bury the sunlight (Failure), we bury the sunlight (Failure).
Failure! Failure.
We bury the sunlight (Failure), we bury the sunlight (Failure).
Failure! Failure.

Failure.

Sleep Token - Emergence

Sleep Token - Emergence

[Verse 1]
Well, you were laid in verse
Living on a promised word
I am the rose you relinquished again
You and I are down headfirst
In another world I heard
But I have a feeling we're close to the end

[Chorus]
So, come on, come on
Out from underneath, who you were
Come on, come out now
You know that it's time to emerge

[Refrain]
So go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahеad and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yеah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah (Hey, woo)

[Verse 2]
Are you carbine on my nano? Red glass on my lightbulb
Dark light on my culture, sapphire on my white gold
Burst out of my chest and hide out in the vents
My blood beats so alive
By right through your lens
It's midnight in my mind's eye, drowning out the daylight
Godspeed to my enemies who've been askin' for that call sign
You know the behaviour, canines of the saviour
Glory to the legion, trauma for the neighbours

[Refrain]
So go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me

[Verse 3]
I've got solar flares for your death guns, space dust for your fuel rods
Dark days for your Solstice dancin' through the depths of
Hellfire, on the winds that started from within
My blood beats so alive, might tear right through my skin
So, tell me what you meant by "Living past your half-life"
In lockstep with the universe, and you're well-versed in the afterlife
You know that I'm sanctified by what's below
No matter what you do, no matter where you go

[Bridge]
You might be the one to take away the pain
And let my mind go quiet
And nothing else is quite the same as how I feel when I'm at your side

[Chorus]
Come on, come on
Out from underneath who you were
Come on, come out now
You know that it's time to emerge

[Refrain]
So go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me

[Bridge]
And you might be the one to take away the pain
And let my mind go quiet
And nothing else is quite the same as how I feel when I'm at your side

Twenty One Pilots - Midwest Indigo

 Twenty One Pilots - Midwest Indigo

Reaching out on my way home,
You can be so cold, I’ll try again,
You make me sad and second-guess myself,
You can be so cold, midwest indigo.

Running late so I didn’t have the time,
To scrape the frosted windshield,
Like we’re barely scraping by,
Concentrate on the little gap in the ice,
That seems to be about as wide as our chances.

Did you pull up yet?
Not yet.
Did you forget we’re tight on time?

Cloud coverage matched my outfit to a knife,
I requested counsel with the counselor,
And he canceled twice,
It's a different blue, it’s deeper than it’s been,
I’ll be pulling into the parking lot before the heat kicks in.

What’s your ETA?
Two minutes.
Chill out man, we’re right on time.

And I want love and sunny days,
I’m a bit too old to run away,
You make me sad and second-guess myself,
You can be so cold… midwest indigo.

Colossians Chapter Four

 1    MASTERS, give unto your servants that which is just and equal;  knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

2    Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

3    Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, 
    for which I am also in bonds:

4    That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

5    Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

6    Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

7    All my state shall Tychicus delcare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant
    in the Lord:

8    Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;

9    With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you.  They shall make known unto you all things
    which are done here.

10    Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received 
    commandments:  if he come unto you, receive him;)

11    And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision.  These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom
    of God, which have been a comfort unto me.

12    Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers,
    that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

13    For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.

14    Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.

15    Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.

16    And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans;
    and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea

17    And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.

18    The salutation by the hand of me Paul.  Remember my bonds.  Grace be with you.  Amen.

Hozier - Arsonist's Lullaby (live in Chicago 9-21-18)

 Hozier - Arsonist's Lullaby

When I was a child, I heard voices
Some would sing and some would scream
You'll soon find you have few choices
I learned the voices died with me

When I was a child I'd sit for hours
Staring into open flames
Something in it had a power
Could barely tear my eyes away

All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep them on a leash

When I was 16 my senses fooled me
Thought gasoline was on my clothes
I knew that something would always rule me
I knew this scent was mine alone

All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep them on a leash

When I was a man I thought it ended
When I knew love's perfect ache
But my peace has always depended
On all the ashes in my wake

All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep them on a leash

Civil Twilight - Letters From The Sky

 Civil Twilight - Letters From The Sky

One of these days the sky's gonna break
And everything will escape and I'll know
One of these days the mountains
Are gonna fall into the sea and they'll know

That you and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
Never fall away

One of these days letters are gonna fall
From the sky telling us all to go free
But until that day I'll find a way
To let everybody know that you're coming back
You're coming back for me

'Cause even though you left me here
I have nothing left to fear
These are only walls that hold me here
Hold me here, hold me here, hold me here
Only walls that hold me here

Switchfoot - Natural Causes (Live)

Switchfoot - Natural Causes 

When everything fell to pieces 
I was looking to find a reason for the pain 
And you said, “Everything has a season 
Why does it have to have a meaning anyway?” 

But I still can’t accept that we  
Were meant to fall away 

Fade away 
All my days turn back to night 
Dust to dust 
But I don’t want our love to die 
Of natural causes 

Oh honey, we’ve spent all our lives 
Bracing for one more quake on the fault-line 
Oh lately, feels like I’ve gone blind 
Waiting to hear your voice on the phone line 

Fade away 
Nothing that I trust survives 
Dust to dust 
But I don’t want our love die 
Of natural causes 

On and on the future’s calling  
On and on the rain keeps falling  
Of natural causes 

And she said, “Everybody falls apart 
Life is what we leave behind” 
And she said, “Everybody falls apart 
It’s just nature's laws”  
Maybe only love survives 
These natural causes  

Fade away 
Nothing that I hold is mine 
From dust to dust 
Love and only love survives 
These natural causes

Måneskin "Torna a casa" versione live

 Måneskin  "Torna a casa" 

 English translation following

 [Strofa 1]
Cammino per la mia città ed il vento soffia forte
Mi son lasciato tutto indietro e il Sole all'orizzonte
Vedo le case da lontano, hanno chiuso le porte
Ma per fortuna ho la sua mano e le sue guance rosse
Lei mi ha raccolto da per terra coperto di spine
Coi morsi di mille serpenti, fermo per le spire
Non ha ascoltato quei bastardi e il loro maledire
Con uno sguardo mi ha convinto a prendere e partire
Che questo è un viaggio che nessuno prima d'ora ha fatto
Alice, le sue meraviglie e il Cappellaio Matto
Cammineremo per 'sta strada e non sarò mai stanco
Fino a che il tempo porterà sui tuoi capelli il bianco
Che mi è rimasto un foglio in mano e mezza sigaretta
Restiamo un po' di tempo ancora, tanto non c'è fretta
Che c'ho una frase scritta in testa, ma non l'ho mai detta
Perché la vita senza te non può essere perfetta

[Ritornello]
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che il freddo qua si fa sentire
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che non voglio più aspettare
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che il freddo qua si fa sentire
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che ho paura di sparire

[Strofa 2]
E il cielo piano piano qua diventa trasparente
Il Sole illumina le debolezze della gente
Una lacrima salata bagna la mia guancia mentre
Lei con la mano mi accarezza in viso dolcemente
Col sangue sulle mani scalerò tutte le vette
Voglio arrivare dove l'occhio umano si interrompe
Per imparare a perdonare tutte le mie colpe
Perché anche gli angeli a volte han paura della morte
Che mi è rimasto un foglio in mano e mezza sigaretta
Corriamo via da chi c'ha troppa sete di vendetta
Da questa Terra ferma perché ormai la sento stretta
Ieri ero quiete perché oggi sarò la tempesta

[Ritornello]
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che il freddo qua si fa sentire
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che non voglio più aspettare
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che il freddo qua si fa sentire
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che non voglio più...

[Bridge]
Prima di te ero solo un pazzo, ora lascia che ti racconti:
Avevo una giacca sgualcita e portavo tagli sui polsi
Oggi mi sento benedetto e non trovo niente da aggiungere
Questa città si affaccerà quando ci vedrà giungere
Ero in bilico tra l'essere vittima e essere giudice
Era un brivido che porta la luce dentro le tenebre
E ti libera da queste catene splendenti, lucide
Ed il dubbio mio, se fossero morti oppure rinascite
[Ritornello]
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che il freddo qua si fa sentire
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che non voglio più aspettare
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che il freddo qua si fa sentire
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che non voglio più sparire

[Outro]
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che il freddo qua si fa sentire
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che ho paura di sparire

 

 [Verse 1]
I walk through my city and the wind blows hard
I’ve left everything behind, the sun on the horizon
I see the houses in the distance; their doors are shut
But luckily, I hold her hand and see her flushed cheeks
She picked me up off the ground, covered in thorns
Bitten by a thousand snakes, held fast in their coils
She didn't listen to those bastards and their curses
With just one look, she convinced me to pack up and leave
On a journey no one has ever taken before
Like Alice, her wonders, and the Mad Hatter
We’ll walk this road, and I’ll never grow tired
Until time turns your hair to white
I’m left with a sheet of paper and half a cigarette
Let’s stay a while longer; there’s no rush, after all
I have a phrase in my head, but I’ve never said it
Because life without you can’t be perfect

[Chorus]
So Marlena, come home
The cold is biting here
So Marlena, come home
I don’t want to wait anymore
So Marlena, come home
The cold is biting here
So Marlena, come home
I’m afraid I’ll disappear

[Verse 2]
And slowly, the sky here turns transparent
The sun illuminates people's weaknesses
A salty tear wets my cheek while
She gently caresses my face with her hand
With blood on my hands, I’ll scale every peak
I want to reach the place where the human eye can see no further
To learn to forgive all my own faults
Because even angels are sometimes afraid of death
I’m left with a sheet of paper and half a cigarette
Let’s run away from those thirsty for revenge
Away from this solid ground—it feels too small for me now
Yesterday I was stillness, because today I’ll be the... Storm

[Chorus]
So Marlena, come home
Because the cold is biting here
So Marlena, come home
Because I don't want to wait anymore
So Marlena, come home
Because the cold is biting here
So Marlena, come home
Because I don't want to...

[Bridge]
Before you, I was just a madman; now let me tell you:
I had a worn-out jacket and cuts on my wrists
Today I feel blessed, and there’s nothing left to add
This city will look our way when it sees us arrive
I was teetering between being a victim and being a judge
It was a shiver bringing light into the darkness
And freeing you from these shining, polished chains
And my doubt—whether they were deaths or rebirths
[Chorus]
So Marlena, come home
Because the cold is biting here
So Marlena, come home
Because I don't want to wait anymore
So Marlena, come home
Because the cold is biting here
So Marlena, come home
Because I don't want to disappear anymore

[Outro]
So Marlena, come home
Because the cold is biting here
So Marlena, come home
Because I'm afraid of disappearing

Måneskin - La paura del buio / Fear of the Dark 

transcript:

I hear thousands of voices talking, [Sento mille voci che parlano,] But I don't hear what they say. [Ma non sento che dicono.] I look myself in the mirror and I imagine That I'm in a circus, [Mi guardo allo specchio ed immagino Di essere al circo]

On a caroussel of happiness, And I don't want to get off [Su una giostra di felicità, E non voglio andare giù] Although I'm not having fun anymore. [Anche se non mi diverto più.]

Sometimes I feel like a miracle, And sometimes ridiculous. [A volte mi sento un miracolo, E a volte ridicolo.] Then I lose my mind in a moment, [Poi perdo la testa in un attimo,]

But don't tell anyone, I'm completely mad, [Ma non ditelo in giro, son fuori di me,]

I'm completely mad. [Son fuori di me.]

So go ahead, take me, bite me, take everything away from me, I'll keep not being afraid of the dark. [E quindi prendimi, mordimi, toglimi tutto, Continuerò a non avere la paura del buio.] And even when I'm on the ground, destroyed, I'll keep not being afraid of the dark. [Ed anche quando sarò giù per terra distrutto, Continuerò a non avere la paura del buio.]

So go ahead, spit on me, tear my clothes off, I'll keep not being afraid of the dark. [E quindi sputami, strappami i vestititi di dosso, Continuerò a non avere la paura del buio.]

So go ahead, buy me, sell me, do anything you want to me, It's gonna be only you who's afraid of the dark, not we. [E quindi comprami, vendimi, fammi di tutto, Sei soltanto tu ad avere la paura del buio, noi no.]

Not we, not I, I... [Noi no, io no, io...] I've been preparing my waltz with the devil Since I was little. [Preparo il mio valzer col diavolo Da quando son piccolo.]

You can call me a fool, a bastard, insane, I'll make a toast to that with wine. [Puoi darmi del pazzo, bastardo, malato, Io ci brinderò sopra col vino] Yes, I'll make a toast to you. [Sì, brinderò te.]

Yes, I'll make a toast to you, 'cause I know that even though you hated me, You'll end up singing my name. [Sì, brinderò te perché so che anche se mi hai odiato, Canterai il mio nome.]

So go ahead, take me, bite me, take everything away from me, I'll keep not being afraid of the dark. [E quindi prendimi, mordimi, toglimi tutto, Continuerò a non avere la paura del buio.] And even when I'm on the ground, destroyed, I'll keep not being afraid of the dark. [Ed anche quando sarò giù per terra distrutto, Continuerò a non avere la paura del buio.]

So go ahead, spit on me, tear my clothes off, I'll keep not being afraid of the dark. [E quindi sputami, strappami i vestititi di dosso, Continuerò a non avere la paura del buio.]

Not we. [Noi no.] You'll come back to me looking tired, [Tu tornerai da me con l'aria stanca,]

You'll have cuts on your wrists. [Porterai dei tagli sulle braccia.] You were left alone on the ship, [Sei rimasta sola sulla barca,]

I recognize the signs on your face. [Riconosco i segni sulla faccia.] You'll come back [Tu tornerai ]

To me with your hands clasped. [Da me con le mani giunte.] You'll come back [Tornerai]

To me.. [Da me...] You'll come back [Tornerai]

To me with your hands clasped. [Da me con le mani giunte.] You'll come back [Tornerai]

To me... [Da me...] You'll come back [Tornerai]

To me with your hands clasped. [Da me con le mani guinte.]

You'll come back [Tornerai] To me... [Da me...]

Subtitles and translation from Italian into English by LaFabi

Staind - Outside

Staind - Outside

And you
Can bring me to my knees
Again
All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain
All the times
That I felt insecure
For you
And I leave
My burdens at the door

But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I felt like this won't end
It's for you
And I taste
What I could never have
It was from you
All the times
That I've cried
My intentions
Full of pride
But I waste
More time than anyone

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I've cried
All this wasted
It's all inside
And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again
And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend
But I feel
Tomorrow will be OK

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

Colossians Chapter Three

 1    IF ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2    Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

3    For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

4    When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

5    Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;  fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection,
    evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

6    For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

7    In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

8    But now ye also put off all these;  anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

9    Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

10    And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

11    Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free:  
    but Christ is all, and in all.

12    Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind,
    meekness, longsuffering;

13    Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any:  even as Christ
    forgave you, so also do ye.

14    And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

15    And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body;  and be ye thankful.

16    Let the word of Christ, dwell in you richly in all wisdom;  teaching and admonishing one another in psalms
    and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17    And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father
    by him.

18    Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

19    Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

20    Children, obey your parents in all things:  for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

21    Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.  

22    Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh;  not with eyeservice; as menpleasers;  but in
    singleness of heart, fearing God:

23    And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

24    Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance:  for ye serve the Lord Christ.

25    But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done:  and there is no respect of persons.

Put your borrowed weapons down

Brandi Carlile - The Story (on Later... with Jools Holland, 2008)

Brandi Carlile - The Story

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true... I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do and I was made for you

Pierce The Veil - Today I Saw the Whole World

  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

Fivefold - Liar

 Fivefold - Liar

Lighter look, better now
Reaching for a crown
Seen the world through the eyes of a monster
And you're a liar
Your soul on fire
(Tear off the mask now)
Tear off the mask now
We've seen behind and watch you die
You're foolin' no one
You self-proclaimed king
Of nothing
You're nothing
We've been waiting all our lives just to feel alive
And you cannot take it away
'Cause you've been hiding
You've been denying
Piece by piece and brick by brick
We've been building up the bridge
That will guide us all again
'Cause you're a liar
Your soul on fire
(Tear off the mask now)
Tear off the mask now
We've seen behind and watch you die
You're foolin' no one
You self-proclaimed king
Of nothing
You're nothing
When will the fighting end?
When will we make amends?
When will we wake up again
And take back what is ours?
Tear off the mask now
We've seen behind and watch you die
You're foolin' no one
You self-proclaimed king
Of nothing
Tear off the mask now
We've seen behind and watch you die
You're foolin' no one
You self-proclaimed king
You're nothing

 Atlas Genius - Trojans

Take it off
Take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look
Hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song
make a note
for the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been
Your trojan's in my head
It's ok if it's gone
The thoughts that you had that it was the one
And oh what is left?
For all those times is that what you get?
Oh regardless
The walls get painted anyway
Oh you're guarding
The gates, but it all got away
Your trojan's in my head
Take it off
Take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look
Hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song
make a note
for the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been

Old Sea Brigade - Day by Day

  Old Sea Brigade - Day by Day

Time and time again I think I’m falling through space and I wake up in my bed just sweating in sheets
Remembering my name but it don’t sound the same 
Daylight come and save me from the 2am creeps

And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart

Hold me up again or I can count on the wall
Just a temporary panic that I can’t seem to beat
Stranger in the mirror his smile makes me shiver
He wears my features and grinds my teeth

And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old

Darkness it comes and puts me in place
I’m a prisoner babe you know I can’t escape
Take all you want take all you can take
But the shadow of age is every step of the way
And it’s day by day it’s all I can take of it
And it’s day by day its all I can chase

Time and time again I think I’ve pulled it together but something’s so familiar that’s unraveling me
I’ll forget my name every evenings the same
Frozen on my back just praying for sleep

And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you as the night grows cold and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old

Villain of the Story - Peace of Mind

 Villain of the Story - Peace of Mind

In the shade again
I've fallen right into the masquerade again
Can't for the life of me remember when 
I got lost somewhere between now and then
I had a vision for something more
A fire inside me and I felt it to the core
So much of the world I wanted to explore
But I never made it five feet from my door

I'm done wasting away
No excuses there is nothing left to say
Finding a spark
Deep down in the dark
It's far from easy but I needed a brand new start

This is the only way that I will find
Something near to happiness in this life
I can't remember the last time that I had any peace of mind
I've fought for this
I've bled for this
There is no turning back now
And finally I'm able to see
The place I'm meant to be

I was fixated on the expectations
Of everyone around I was so frustrated
I became addicted to always overthinking
Everything I did
I had nothing to give
I started disappointing everyone
Letting down all the ones that I love
This road is covered in ice
And paved with sacrifice
I gave it all away and I paid the price

This is the only way that I will find
Something near to happiness in this life
I can't remember the last time that I had any peace of mind
I've fought for this
I've bled for this
There is no turning back now
And finally I'm able to see
The place I'm meant to be

I'm done wasting away
I'm done wasting away

This is the only way that I will find
Something near to happiness in this life
I can't remember the last time that I had any peace of mind
I've fought for this
I've bled for this
There is no turning back now
And finally I'm able to see
The place I'm meant to be

I'm done wasting away

Chance Peña - The Voyager

[Verse 1]
Revolve 180 'til the tables turn
Let me be in my home, let me have what I've earned
Can't I partake in what I deserve?
Bookshelf like walls of the universe
I don't know what is real, only know what I've heard
It's a pretense I have of this earth

[Chorus]
Sidestep, make way for the voyager
He's been looking around, tryna prove all his worth
Spent a long time digging through the dirt
Lightspeed, light-years wеll ahead of us
He knows something wе don't, and that's what he prefers
Couldn't handle the truth at its worst

[Post-Chorus]
Hey

[Verse 2]
It's nothin' real that he's running from
Still, he left what he loved 'cause he had to run
And he tries not to beg about it, oh well, oh well
It's at night when he comes undone
'Cause everything reminds him that he's all alone
And it's hard not to think about it, oh well, oh well

[Pre-Chorus]
He fell from the light
Spend a long time down in the depths of his mind
Oh, hoping to find, why
He's caught in his ways
You can tell he's lost by the look in his eyes

[Chorus]
So, sidestep, make way for the voyager
He's been looking around, tryna prove all his worth
Spent a long time digging through the dirt
Lightspeed, light-years well ahead of us
He knows something we don't, and that's what he prefers
Couldn't handle the truth at its worst

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, ah, hey, hey
Hey, hey, ah-ah-ey

[Bridge]
'Cause you will find out you're more alive if you feel loved
And let longing die
You'll find out there's more in time
This is life
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey, oh-oh
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
[Outro]
Revolve 180 'til the tables turn
Let me be in my home, let me have what I've earned
Can't I partake in what I deserve?

 Keith Urban - God Whispered Your Name

[Verse 1]
I was so cold and lost
And nothing seemed to ring true
I couldn't bear the cross
For everything I'd been through
And each day, I knew I needed change
But there was no way, no way

[Pre-Chorus]
And then God whispered your name
And that's when everything changed
And love came out of the rain
And talk about being saved

[Chorus]
Suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name

[Verse 2]
I can see the sunshine
For the first time in a while
Girl, it's like I've been baptized
By the warmth of your smile, hmm
Well, call it fate or faith or call it crazy either way
It's amazin', amazin' grace

[Pre-Chorus]
When God whispered your name
That's when everything changed
Love came out of the rain
Talk about being saved

[Chorus]
Well, suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name

[Bridge]
It's just what I needed to hear, baby
It couldn't have been more loud and clear

[Pre-Chorus]
When God whispered your name
That's when everything changed
Love came out of the rain (Out of the rain)
And talk about being saved

[Chorus]
Oh, suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name, oh yeah

[Outro]
(Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah)
Ooh, Hallelujah, baby
(Hallelujah) Oh, yeah, (Hallelujah) Hmm-hmm
(Hallelujah) Ooh yeah
I can see the sunlight shinin' through your pretty eyes, baby
(Hallelujah) Woo, hmm, (Hallelujah)
I like a man who leaves, time feels like Hell
(Hallelujah)
Got my hands up high, I got my hands up to the sky
(Hallelujah) Ooh, I'm sayin' thank you
(Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah)

Strays Don't Sleep - For Blue Skies

Strays Don't Sleep - For Blue Skies 

It's been a long year
Since we last spoke
How's your halo?
Just between you and I
You and me and the satellites
I never believed you
I only wanted to
Before all of this
What did I miss?
Do you ever get homesick?

I can't get used to it
I can't get used to it

I'll never get used to it
I'll never get used to it

I'm under that night
I'm under those same stars
We're in a red car
You asleep at my side
Going in and out of the headlights
Could I have saved you?
Would that have betrayed you?
I want to burn this film
You alone with those pills
What you couldn't do I will

I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you

For blue, blue skies

I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you

James Morrison - Nothing Ever Hurt Like You

[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
Loving you was easy, playing by the rules
But you said love tastes so much better when it's cruel
To you everything was just a game
And oh yeah, you played me good
But I want you, I want you, I want you
So much more than I should, (yes I do)

[Chorus]
I've got my hands up, so take your aim, yeah, I'm ready
There's nothing that we can't go through
Oh, it hit me like a steel freight train when you left me
And nothing ever hurt like you, nothing ever hurt like you

[Verse 2]
I was naïve and wide-eyed, but you made me see
That you don't get to taste the honey
Without the sting of a bee, (no, you don't)
Oh yes, you stung me good, oh yeah, you dug in deep
But I'll take it, I'll take it, I'll take it
Till I'm down on my knees, (on my knees)

[Chorus]
Oh, I've got my hands up, so take your aim, yeah, I'm ready
There ain't nothing that I won't do
Walk a thousand miles on broken glass
It won't stop me from making my way back to you
It's not real until you feel pain
And nothing ever hurt like you, nothing ever hurt like you
Oh, nothing hurt like you, (you got to believe me, alright)

Oh, everything was just a game, yes, you played me good
But I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you

[Chorus]
Oh, I've got my hands up, so take your aim, yes, I'm ready
There ain't nothing that we can't go through
Oh, it hit me like a hurricane when you left me
But I'd do it all again for you
I'll walk a thousand miles on broken glass
It won't stop me from making my way back to you
Its not real until you feel the pain
And nothing ever hurt like you, nothing ever hurt like you

[Outro]
Nothing in the whole wide world
Nothing ever, nothing ever, (nothing ever)
Nothing ever hurt like you, (like you
Like you, like you) hurt like you
Will ever, will never hurt like you, you, you, you
Nothing ever hurt like you

English translation 

Always together, my arms around you 
My greatest love, that I really knew right away 
The very last week, the days went fast 
Gets close to departure, it is difficult 

Say you do not have to go treasure 
You really had enough of me 
Say you do not have to go treasure 
Go baby, because you need, I need to know 

If at all possible then 
I stayed one night with you 
If at all possible then 
I stayed one night with you 

I would say that I will be waiting 
And the future for our laughs 
I would say for the umpteenth time 
I want no other ever 

The bags are already out, the tailgate closed stores 
One last long kiss in the early morning light 
You look at me sweetly and grabs me tightly 
I whisper in your ear, I will not forget 

Say you do not have to go treasure 
You really had enough of me 
Say you do not have to go treasure 
Go baby, because you need, I need to know 

If at all possible then 
I stayed one night with you 
If at all possible then 
I stayed one night with you 

I would say that I will be waiting 
And the future for our laughs 
I would say for the umpteenth time 
I want no other ever 

Never again will I feel what I feel for you 
Never again will I feel what I feel for you 
So go now, and wipe your tears away 
And remember very well that I love you, love you 

No, no, no, you do not go baby, no 
Ooh, no, no, no, you do not go baby, no, no

In this obsession with
The things this world says make us happy
Can’t see the slaves we are
In all the searching, all the grasping
Like we deserve much more
Than all these blessings we’re holding
So now I’m running free
Into an ocean of mercy, unending

So come and empty me
So that it’s You I breathe
I want my life to be
Only Christ in me
So I will fix my eyes
‘Cause You’re my source of life
I need the world to see
That it’s Christ in me, yeah
That it’s Christ in me, yeah

Done with what holds me down
The things I once was chasing after
Throw off these heavy chains
That I have let become my master
So now I’m running free
Into an ocean of mercy, unending

Mind over matter
Does it matter to any of us?
Don't change the subject
I'm heavy on your love
I missed that train
New York City: it rains!
Fly to East L.A. in big jet planes
You know you're on my mind
And if the world don't break
I'll be shaking it 
Cuz I'm a young man after all!
And when the seasons change
Will you stand by me?
Cuz I'm a young man built to fall!
Mind over matter
I'm in tatters thinking about her
Taste my disaster
It's heavy on my tongue
All the lights aglow
Tokyo: snows
Go to watch the show
Curtain's closed 
I'm watching you this time
And if the world don't break
I'll be shaking it 
Cuz I'm a young man after all!
And when the seasons change
Will you stand by me?
Cuz I'm a young man built to fall! 
I missed that train

You know you're on my mind!
And if the world don't break

Metallica - Master of Puppets 

End of passion play, crumbling away 
I'm your source of self-destruction 
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear 
Leading on your deaths' construction 

Taste me you will see 
More is all you need 
You're dedicated to 
How I'm killing you 

Come crawling faster 
Obey your master 
Your life burns faster 
Obey your master 
Master 

Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings 
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams 
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing 
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream 
Master 
Master 
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream 
Master 
Master 

Needlework the way, never you betray 
Life of death becoming clearer 
Pain monopoly, ritual misery 
Chop your breakfast on a mirror 

Taste me you will see 
More is all you need 
You're dedicated to 
How I'm killing you 

Come crawling faster 
Obey your master 
Your life burns faster 
Obey your master 
Master 

Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings 
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams 
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing 
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream 
Master 
Master 
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream 
Master 
Master 

Master, master, where's the dreams that I've been after? 
Master, master, you promised only lies 
Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter 
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries 

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat 
Just a rhyme without a reason 
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days 
Now your life is out of season 

I will occupy 
I will help you die 
I will run through you 
Now I rule you too 

Come crawling faster 
Obey your master 
Your life burns faster 
Obey your master 
Master 

Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings 
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams 
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing 
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream

"Streams in the Desert" written by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman - a book of daily devotionals originally published in 1925

 "Streams in the Desert"

February 10th

"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves."  (Romans 12:19)

    THERE are seasons when to be STILL demands immeasurably higher strength than to act.  Composure is often the highest result of power.  To the vilest and most deadly charges Jesus responded with deep, unbroken silence, such as excited the wonder
of the judge and the spectators.  To the grossest insults, the most violent ill-treatment and mockery that might well bring
indignation to the feeblest heart, He responded with voiceless complacent calmness.  Those who are unjustly accused, and
causelessly ill-treated know what tremendous strength is necessary to keep silence to God.

    "Men may misjudge thy aim,
    Think they have cause to blame, 
    Say, thou art wrong;
    Keep on thy quiet way,
    Christ is the Judge, not they,
    Fear not, be strong."

    St. Paul said, "None of these things move me."

    He did not say, none of these things HURT me.  It is one thing to be hurt, and quite another to be moved.  St. Paul
had a very tender heart.  We do not read of any apostle who cried as St. Paul did.  It takes a strong man to cry.  Jesus
wept, and He was the manliest Man that ever lived.  So it does not say, none of these things hurt me.  But the apostle had
determined not to move from what he believed was right.  He did not count as we are apt to count;  he did not care for
ease;  he did not care for this mortal life.  He cared for only one thing, and that was to be loyal to Christ, to have His smile. 
To St. Paul, more than to any other man, His work was wages, His smile as Heaven.  ---Margaret Bottome.  

Colossians Chapter Two

 1    FOR I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have
    not seen my face in the flesh;

2    That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of
    understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

3    In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

4    And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

5    For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the
    stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

6    As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

7    Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

8    Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the rudiments of the world, and not
    after Christ.

9    For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

10    And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

11    In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of sins
    of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

12    Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God,
    who hath raised him from the dead.

13    And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him,
    having forgiven you all trespasses;

14    Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out
    of the way, nailing it to his cross;

15    And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

16    Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, 
    or of the sabbath days:

17    Which are a shadow of things to come;  but the body is of Christ.

18    Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into
    those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

19    And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered,
    and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

20    Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world,    
    are ye subject to ordinances,

21    (Touch not;  taste not;  handle not;

22    Which all are to perish with the using;)  after the commandments and doctrines of men?

23    Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body;  
    not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

ROLE MODEL - Writing's On The Wall (live on Austin City Limits)

 ROLE MODEL -  Writing's On The Wall

 Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me 
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen 
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
 
Head out the window
Sweat on the pillow
It's been keeping me up at night
Guess this is what love feels like all right
 
Seems like your shoulder
Keeps getting colder
But babe I was raised in the cold
Wish I could do what I'm told
Oh, now
 
Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me 
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
Son of a gun but I know that he’s right 
Cause the girl that I loved never treated me nice 
Writing’s on the wall I pretend I can’t read 
You’re forgetting me
 
Losing my patience
Confusing the waitress
And asking her way too much
Like why am I still in love?
 
With somebody who leaves me
Way too easy
She said honey you’ll be alright
But she gets paid to be nice
Oh hell
 
Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me 
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen 
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
 
Son of a gun but I know that he’s right 
Cause the girl that I loved never treated me nice 
Writing’s on the wall I pretend I can’t read 
You’re forgetting me
 
Ooh you’re forgetting me
Ooh you’re forgetting me
 
Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me 
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
Ooh you’re forgetting me
 
Son of a gun but I know that he’s right 
Cause the girl that I loved never treated me nice 
Writing’s on the wall I pretend I can’t read 
You’re forgetting me

"Why did you leave the music industry?"

After years of staying quiet, I'm finally telling the full story.......

Fivefold - Till Death (Live at Delmar Hall 3/25/2017)

Fivefold - Till Death 

Looking back upon the path and I
I can't believe my eyes
The boy that I was and the man that I've become
Breaking through some memory
I still recall the scene
From across the room like something right out of a dream
And now I sit here trying to find the
Words to show you my love
But they don't come, they just stay locked up in my head
So I will vow until the day
This body fades away
To hold you high and
I'll sing
When the winter comes
I'll scream your name
Don't be afraid of what's beneath
When the reaper calls
I'll hold you tight and I'll scream
"Don't you take her away from me
Don't you take her away"
I lived my life a vagabond
The path that I was on (the path that I was on)
Better to leave than leaving broken in the end
But like a moth into the flame
Your fire burned away (your fire burned away)
All of the fear that I held deep inside my heart
And though I lack in every way
You still decided to stay (you still decided to stay)
Dared to look inside and see me for who I am
So I will vow until the day
This body fades away
To hold you high and
I'll sing
When the winter comes
I'll scream your name
Don't be afraid of what's beneath
When the reaper calls
I'll hold you tight and I'll scream
"Don't you take her away from me
Don't you take her away"
And I'll see the face of my desire
Don't let it burn away
A small spark that grew into a fire
Don't let it burn away
When the winter comes
I'll scream your name
Don't be afraid of what's beneath
When the reaper calls
I'll hold you tight and I'll scream
"Don't you take her away from me
Don't you take her away"
And I'll see the face of my desire
Don't let it burn away
A small spark that grew into a fire
Don't let it burn away
Away
