Wilderado - The Worst of It

  Wilderado - The Worst of It

 i can see you on the lawn 
your hands are on your hips
looking like maybelle starr
looking like a kiss on the lips 
maybe i should get away
just get back in my car
oh, but i never do 
i just tell myself 
if that’s the worst of it
if that’s the whole thing
then maybe you and i can hang on
if i could offer you
just one thing 
it’d be a hand to hold all along 
right through the night 
and into the dawn 
i’ve been thinking over it
i’ve been combing through the dark
looking round with my hands 
looking for a place to park 
standing underneath the moon
i can see into your heart
oh and then there we are
searching for ourselves 
if that’s the worst of it
if that’s the whole thing
then maybe you and i can hang on
if i could offer you
just one thing 
it’d be a hand to hold all along 
right through the night 
and into the dawn 
if that’s the worst of it
if that’s the whole thing
then maybe you and i can hang on
if i could offer you
just one thing 
it’d be a hand to hold all along 
right through the night 
and into the dawn 
until the morning light
has come and gone

Staind - Ghosts

 Staind - Ghosts

I know myself too well 
I can’t expect too much 
The pain is all I’ve earned 
For all I’ve done 

These hands have built this hell 
And it's torture to the touch 
I'm getting used to losing what I love 
  
Lost in a memory 
I'm falling under  
Falling under 
All that I wanted to be 
Falling under 
Falling under 
Fading and failing 
Ghosts that I’ve never found  

I’ve been through this before  
Tried to leave it all behind 
But I cannot close the door to save my life 

Lost in a memory 
I'm falling under  
Falling under 
All that I wanted to be 
Falling under 
Falling under 
Fading and failing 
Ghosts that I’ve never found  

I know myself too well 
I know myself too well

Sleep Token - Dangerous

Sleep Token - Dangerous 

[Verse 1]
I wish I could have known that
Look in your eyes would echo in mine and go back
Out of my mind, across the line
When was the last time I felt like this?
Dark desire and tainted bliss

[Chorus]
It's like you're dangerous to me
I notice every time we meet
I feel the ground beneath my feet
Giving way
You've got me talking in my sleep
As if you're conquering my dreams
You have awakened what's beneath
Again

[Verse 2]
Well, I thought I could resist you
But something in me just can't help but insist
To blur thе lines just one last time so
Whеn's the last time you tasted blood?
And what will it take to stem the flood?
And I am caught in time
Like clockwork beneath the permafrost
I might lose my mind
Back to back with oblivion
And you might breathe that burning breeze through

[Chorus]
It's like you're dangerous to me
I notice every time we meet
I feel the ground beneath my feet
Giving way
You've got me talking in my sleep
As if you're conquering my dreams
You have awakened what's beneath
Again

[Outro]
Won't you show me how to dance forever? (Forever)
Won't you show me how to dance forever?
Won't you show me how to dance forever?

 YUNGBLUD - Zombie  

[Verse 1]
If I was to talk about the words
They would hurt, they would hurt
So if you were to ask about the pain
I would lie, I would lie
To fix my mind, I need time

[Pre-Chorus]
But it's running out, it's running out

[Chorus]
Oh, I know that I can't live without you
But this world will keep turning if you do
Would you even want me looking like a zombie?
Would you even want me, want me, want me?

[Verse 2]
We could catch a spaceship to the moon
But we'd crash, it wouldn't last
Because the world is just a figment of the fools
A blank stare, they don't care
So say your prayers, you're almost there

[Pre-Chorus]
But it's running out, it's running out

[Chorus]
Oh, I know that I can't live without you
But this world will keep turning if you do
Would you even want me looking like a zombie?
Would you even want me, want me, want me?
Would you even want me looking like a zombie?
Would you even want me, want me, want me?

[Outro]
Oh, I don't know what I'll turn out to be
But you'll loathe every moment, believe me
Would you even want me looking like a zombie?
Would you even want me, want me, want me?

You missed the best shot in the film.....it's only 7 seconds

it's only 7 seconds 

 Project Hail Mary is packed with massive sci-fi spectacles, but the absolute best scene in the entire film is just a guy and a rock-spider talking through a wall.

In this video, we dive into the cinematic adaptation of Andy Weir's sci-fi masterpiece. While a lot of modern science fiction leans into the grim, cold realities of survival and betrayal, Project Hail Mary takes a different path. We are breaking down why the quietest, most understated scene between Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) and Rocky is the true emotional climax of the story. From the brilliant pairing of sci-fi and math with profound humanity to the incredible themes of radical empathy and universal brotherhood, here is why this single moment of connection outshines the rest of the film.

YUNGBLUD - Loner

  YUNGBLUD - Loner

All my friends have deserted again
And I don't wanna be a loner
In my head, I can sleep when I'm dead
Baby, don't let the hype dilute ya

I got no want for the quiet life
No forced up smiles over tired eyes
Give me a taste of the riot life
'Cause I'd rather be a martyr than grow tomatoes
Keep the young between your teeth
Take the love, take the doves, take the self-belief
Make your shoes look squeaky clean
But if you want to be a leader, stop being a cheater

So bounce if you've had enough of the people you know
So bounce if you've had enough and just let go

All my friends have deserted again
And I don't wanna be a loner
In my head, I can sleep when I'm dead
Baby, don't let the hype dilute ya

Now lock me up in a riot van
As I hold up my fingers to this old man
'Cause he made sure my future plans
Became a time bomb, sleep with the lights on
Treating the planet like a playground
Distraction for distraction to cover up the shakedown
Hey now
You better not let me out

All my friends have deserted again
And I don't wanna be a loner
In my head, I can sleep when I'm dead
Baby, don't let the hype dilute ya

You know what I mean, yeah?
You know what I mean, yeah?
You know what I mean, yeah?
Do you know what I mean, yeah?
You know what I mean, yeah?
You know what I mean, yeah?
You know what I mean, yeah?
Do you know what I mean, yeah?

So bounce if you've had enough of the people you know
So bounce if you've had enough of the alter-ego
So bounce if you've had enough of the people you know
So bounce if you've had enough and just let go

All my friends have deserted again
And I don't wanna be a loner
In my head, I can sleep when I'm dead
Baby, don't let the hype dilute ya
All my friends will desert again
And I don't wanna be a loner
In my head, I can sleep when I'm dead
Baby, don't let the hype dilute ya

You know what I mean, yeah?

R.C. Sproul Explains Grace Like You've Never Heard Before

 R.C. Sproul Explains Grace Like You've Never Heard Before  

 R.C. Sproul tells a classroom story from early in his teaching career that became one of his favorite illustrations of grace. After giving his students clear deadlines, Sproul showed mercy when some failed to submit their papers on time. The first time, they were overwhelmed with gratitude. 

The second time, they began to expect another extension. By the third deadline, many simply assumed his mercy was theirs by right.
Then one student protested when Sproul began giving failing grades: “That's not fair.” Sproul responded by giving him exactly what he asked for—justice. The moment exposed how quickly undeserved mercy can become an expected entitlement.

Sproul uses the story to make a much greater theological point. Grace, by definition, can never be something God owes us. The moment grace becomes something we believe we deserve, we have confused grace with justice. Outside of Christ, sinners have no claim upon God's mercy; their only hope is to approach Him covered by the righteousness of Christ.

Sleep Token - Look To Windward

Sleep Token - Look To Windward 

[Verse 1]
Will you listen just as my form starts to fission?
Losing this war of attrition just as I drift away
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?

[Verse 2]
With the shadows longer to me than a lightyear
Moving so slow, I could die here
Say you can let me say
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Now I know why I woke up here on the shoreline
Coughing up blood in the twilight
Everything looks thе same
Will you halt this eclipse in mе? ([?])
Will you halt this eclipse in me? ([?])
Will you halt this eclipse in me? ([?])
Will you halt this eclipse in me? ([?])
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?

[Instrumental Break]
[Sample]

[Verse 4]
I've got eyelids heavy enough to break diamonds
You pray for sound and I pray for silence
Damned by fate as I can't deny
You'll find me with half a mind to get violent
Over, don't say it's over
No more my little angel sitting on my shoulder
So give me the edge of a blade and a time and a place
And I'll leave them golden pushing up boulders

[Verse 5]
Walking with God so many stumbling forth
Until there's fire at the gates, until I fall to the floor
You know I'll live by the feather and die by the sword
And now it's under the earth, won't need to burn the rewards

[Verse 6]
Even in this garden of gods, I am the god of the gaps
I am the demon of Sodom, I am the blood of an angel
The fate of the fallen, nobody knows where I came from
Even I have forgotten
How can I already lose my way like this?
Drowning in burning bright abyss
Even in stratospheric depths
This vertigo of bliss

[Bridge]
Oh, and I
I used to know myself
Oh, and you
You used to know me well
Oh, and I
Always felt I can leave myself alone
Oh, and you
You wish you could make me whole

[Outro]
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?

The Broken View - All I Feel Is You

The Broken View - All I Feel Is You 

I lay down
In your eyes
In your arms
With your lies
I forgive
But never forget
Do you feel
No regret
And it's been so long since I could say
Oh, that I have felt so close yet so far away
I stumble as the world surrounds me I cannot help myself
I feel it every time my heart beats for you
And no one else
And you are a beautiful disaster
But our love has faded faster
Than we could ever understand
That blood is on your hands
And I felt the end was upon us
Sooner than your honesty
Can you feel me
Bleeding memories of your ghost
It hurts for a moment but then it just goes
Feeling into all your lies another fucking excuse
Leaves me with alibis
Deceiving me again and again
I'm not asking you to feel an ounce of guilt
I'm evening the odds on my own terms
Using the hand you've dealt
There's nothing left to lose
All I feel is you
And now there's nothing left to prove
All I feel is you
And it's been so long since I could say
Oh, that I have felt so close yet so far away
I stumble as the world surrounds me I cannot help myself
I feel it every time my heart beats for you
And no one else

Alien Ant Farm - Movies

 Alien Ant Farm - Movies

At slow speed we all seem focused
In motion we seem wrong
In summer we can taste the rain
I want you to be free 
Don't worry about me 
And just like the movies 
We play out our last scene
Two can play this game 
We both want power 
In winter we can taste the pain 
In our short years, we come long way 
To treat it bad and throw away 
I want you to be free 
Don't worry about me 
And just like the movies 
We play out our last scene
You won't cry, I won't scream 
In our short years we come long way 
To treat it bad and throw away 
And if we make a little space 
A science fiction showcase 
In our short film, a love disgrace
Dream a scene to brighten face 
In our short years we come long way
To treat it bad, just to throw it away 
I want you to be free 
Don't worry about me 
And just like the movies 
We play out our last scene
You won't cry, I won't scream

Ewert and The Two Dragons - "Good Man Down"

 Ewert and The Two Dragons - "Good Man Down"

Here is a story about a boy and a girl
She woke up one morning felt alone in this world
Despite the love for her
He couldn't keep her from leaving again
She had to do it

She cried in the nights, he brought her flowers in the daytime
She tried and she tried to forget the past and all her past crimes
Despite the love for her
He couldn't keep her from leaving again
She had to do it

How could you shoot a good man down and leave without mourning?
Broken-hearted on the ground, like the others bid for him
Burden as heavy as a rock, ain't nobody going to stop her
Go ahead and walk alone, and regret it some else where

He cried in the nights, she got no flowers in the daytime
He gave up the fight while she was out committing new crimes
Despite the love for her
He couldn't keep her from leaving again
She had to do it

How could you shoot a good man down and leave without mourning?
Broken-hearted on the ground, like the others bid for him
Burden heavy as a rock, ain't nobody going to stop her
Go ahead and walk alone, and regret it some else where

Burden as heavy as a rock, ain't nobody going to stop her
Go ahead and walk alone, and regret it some else where

How could you shoot a good man down and leave without mourning?
Broken-hearted on the ground, like the others bid for him
Burden heavy as a rock, ain't nobody going to stop her
Go ahead and walk alone, and regret it some else where

Burden heavy as a rock, ain't nobody going to stop her
Go ahead and walk alone, and regret it some else where

How could you leave without mourning
Unlike the others bid for me?

GRÖNWALL - Written In The Scars

GRÖNWALL - Written In The Scars 

Time always tells the story
Just read between the lines on my face
We try to hide our memories
Doesn’t matter who you are
’Cause it’s written in the scars

You’ve been down and barely breathing
Trying to fake a smile through the pain
But every crack is part of healing
Doesn’t matter who you are
’Cause it’s written in the scars

Lay your head upon this beating heart
No more silence tearing us apart
Every fight, every fall, you don’t have to tell me
Doesn’t matter who you are
’Cause it’s written in the scars

Life can leave you beat and broken
Wounds are building up from inside
From all the words we left unspoken
Doesn’t matter who you are
’Cause it’s written in the scars

Lay your head upon this beating heart
No more silence tearing us apart
Every fight, every fall, you don’t have to tell me
Doesn’t matter who you are
’Cause it’s written in the scars

Can you hear my inner voices
I try to drown them every night
I’m still haunted by my choices
Doesn’t matter who you are

Chorus 

Shame is such a quiet liar
Doesn’t matter who you are
’Cause it’s written in the scars

Skillet - Come and Find Me

[Verse 1: John Cooper]
It's hard to say that I need some help tonight
What if I said you were all I wanted?
Would you stay, would you leave me alone tonight?
What if I said that I loved you all this time?

[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper]
I try to get it right
But in my mind, I'm losing my way, yeah

[Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger, Both]
Come and find me
Come and find me now
'Cause it's sinking in
Who was I before it began?
Come remind me
'Cause I'm so far down
But I'm running
To somewhere where I can find you again
Come and find me
Come and find me

[Verse 2: John Cooper]
Falling down to the hurting place inside
The lights go out, but my memory's burning
My regrets coalesce and turn the tide
I couldn't see that you've been here all this time

[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper, John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
I tried to get it right
But in my mind, I'm losing my way, yeah

[Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger, Both]
Come and find me

To somewhere where I can find you again
Come and find me
Come and find me

Somewhere where I can find you again
Find me, find me
Come find me

[Bridge: John Cooper, John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
This time, I tried to get it right
But in my mind, I'm losing my way, yeah

[Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger, Both]
Come and find me
Come and find me now
'Cause it's sinking in
Who was I before it began?
Come remind me
'Cause I'm so far down
But I'm running
To somewhere where I can find you again

It's hard to say that I need some help tonight
But I'm running
To somewhere where I can find you again
My regrets coalesce and turn the tide
But I'm running
To somewhere where I can find you again

30 Seconds To Mars - A Beautiful Lie

 30 Seconds To Mars - A Beautiful Lie

Lie awake in bed at night
And think about your life
Do you want to be different?
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
'Cause this is just a game

It's a beautiful lie
It's a perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful, it makes me

It's time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last
Hide behind an empty face
Don't ask too much just say
Cause this is just a game

It's a beautiful lie
It's a perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful, it makes me

Oh!

Everyone's looking at me
I'm running around in circles
A quiet desperation's
Building higher
I've got to remember this is just a game

So beautiful, beautiful
(Lie! Lie!)
So beautiful, beautiful
(Lie! Lie!)

It's a beautiful lie
It's a perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful, it makes me

Passion Pit - Take A Walk

  Passion Pit - Take A Walk

All these kind of places, 
Make it seem like it's been ages
Tomorrow some new building will scrape the sky

I love this country dearly
I can feel the ladder clearly
But I never thought I'd be alone to try

Once I was outside Penn station, 
Selling red and white carnations
We were still alone my wife and I

Before we married saved my money
Brought my dear wife over
Now I want to bring my family state side

But off the boat they stayed a while then scattered across the coast
Once a year I'll see them fore a week or so at most

I took a walk
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh

Practice isn't perfect 
But the market outs the loss
I remind myself that times could be much worse

My wife won't ask me questions
There's not so much to ask
And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse

Once my mother in law came 
Just to stay a couple nights
Then decided she would stay the rest of her life

I watch my little children play some board game in the kitchen
And I sit and pray they never feel my strife

But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone
He made some bad investments
Now the accounts are over drawn

I took a walk
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh

Honey it's your son I think I borrowed just too much
We had taxes we had bills we had a lifestyle to front
And tonight I swear I'll come home and we'll make love like we're young

Then tomorrow you'll cook dinner 
for the neighbors and their kids
We can rip apart theses socialists and all their damn taxes

But see I am no criminal
I'm down on both bad knees
I'm just too much a coward to admit when I'm in need 

I took a walk
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh

TALK - Mars

  TALK - Mars

Your colour’s fading 
Cause I kept you waiting 
It’s a wild wild world 
And you’re a wild wild girl 

Our sun’s still shining 
But it seems half the size 
And it’s a wild wild world 
Out here 
Before my time runs out 

What If I run away to Mars? 
Would you find me in the stars? 
Would you miss me in the end 
If I run out of oxygen 
When I run away to Mars 

I can’t tell which way's home 
I’ve been gone for so long 
It’s an empty world 
Up here 

I skip stones and wonder 
How long till im discovered? 
It’s a quiet life 
Up here 
Before my time runs out 

What If I run away to Mars? 
Would you find me in the stars? 
Would you miss me in the end 
If I run out of oxygen 
When I run away to Mars 

3, 2, 1, I miss you I’m sorry, 
I got issues 

What If I run away to Mars? 
Would you find me in the stars? 
Would you miss me in the end 
If I run out of oxygen 
When I run away to Mars 

The Strumbellas - Hold Me - Live at Town Ballroom in Buffalo, NY on 5/5/24

  The Strumbellas - Hold Me

One day, it’ll all make sense
When the love is gone 
And the money’s spent
 
One day, when we feel again
Count the lines on my face 
Remember when 
 
So I’ll stand 
Like a guard at night
With my fists up
I was born to fight
 
Don’t have a plan
Just starry nights
My best friend
My dead-ly vice
 
So hold me 
I don't want to be lonely
Wishing somebody told me
Things are not as they seem
Guide us 
From the shadows that hide us
Leave your worries behind us
Find our own way to love
 
The world, is a scary place
Feels like home
But I’ve moved away
 
And the week it crumbles into the night
I wake up wondering
If I’m alright
 
So I’ll stand
While the heavens fall
For your love
I’d risk it all
 
Ain’t nothing out there 
To make us whole
Gimme shelter
To save our souls
 
So hold me 
I don't want to be lonely
Wishing somebody told me
Things are not as they seem
Guide us 
From the shadows that hide us
Leave your worries behind us
Find our own way to love
 
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me down
 
So hold me 
I don't want to feel lonely
Wishing somebody told me
Things are not as they seem
Guide us 
From the shadows that hide us
Leave your worries behind us
Find our own way to love
 
So hold me 
I don't want to be lonely
Wishing somebody told me
Things are not as they seem
Guide us 
From the shadows that hide us
Leave your worries behind us
Find our own way to love

[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
I've been tryna call
I've been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe
I'm going through withdrawals
You don't even have to do too much
You can turn me on with just a touch, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
I look around and
Sin City's cold and empty (Oh)
No one's around to judge me (Oh)
I can't see clearly when you're gone

[Chorus]
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust
Hey, hey, hey

[Verse 2]
I'm running out of time
'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
So I hit the road in overdrive, baby, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
The city's cold and empty (Oh)
No one's around to judge me (Oh)
I can't see clearly when you're gone

[Chorus]
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust

[Bridge]
I'm just calling back to let you know (Back to let you know)
I could never say it on the phone (Say it on the phone)
Will never let you go this time (Ooh)

[Chorus]
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

[Outro]
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch

Alanis Morissette - You Learn (with Taylor Hawkins) (The Prince's Trust Masters Of Music 1996)

  Alanis Morissette - You Learn

[Verse 1]
I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
Yeah, oh
I recommend walkin' around naked in your living room
Yeah
 

[Pre-Chorus]
Swallow it down (What a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (Swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

[Chorus]
You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn
You scream, you learn

[Verse 2]
I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free

[Pre-Chorus]
Throw it down (The caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (To the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

[Chorus]
You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn
You scream, you learn

[Pre-Chorus]
Wear it out (The way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (You're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are comin' up around the bend

[Chorus]
You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn
You scream, you learn

[Outro]
You grieve, you learn
You choke, you learn
You laugh, you learn
You choose, you learn
You pray, you learn
You ask, you learn
You live, you learn

The Interrupters - Warrior Spirit

 The Interrupters - Warrior Spirit

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand
But they won’t come near you, no they won’t come near you
You ran from the safety of shelter, to where we were making a stand
And we all stood near you, yeah we all stood near you

And the roar we could hear it, like the sound of the trumpet
No weapon come near it, she got a warrior spirit

She got a warrior spirit

She won’t fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by the day
She’ll protect those who stand by her side, from the stone and the swinging blade
On the day that the earth cracked open, and the sea sank into the clay
She was battered but stood unbroken and she’s still standing to this day

And the roar we could hear it, like the sound of the trumpet
No weapon come near it, she got a warrior spirit

Warrior spirit
Fearless and they fear it
Warrior spirit,
She got a warrior spirit

She won’t fear the terror of the night - she walks on with strength and might
And in the dark, she’s ready for the fight, she radiates the light
Yeah radiates the light

Warrior spirit
Fearless and they fear it
Warrior spirit
She got a warrior spirit
Warrior spirit
Fearless and they fear it
Warrior spirit
She got a warrior spirit

Oscar Navarro -- Why I Approach LGTBQ+ Differently Than Most Christians

 Oscar Navarro -- Why I Approach LGTBQ+ Differently Than Most Christians

  When Victoria introduced herself as a “queer Christian,” we talked about sexuality, marriage, and what it means to submit our desires to God. I share why I approach LGBTQ+ conversations with respect for each person as someone made in God’s image, while holding to what Scripture teaches. Can we disagree and still treat each other with love? I pray this conversation shows you how.

girl in red - blue

 girl in red - blue

I can tell time has passed
By the wash of your denim
The blue never lasts
But it doesn't fade for me
It doesn't fade for me

Yeah, I can tell that you've changed
You're so independent
You carry yourself in a way
Now that's better to see
Yeah, it's better than me

You were so persistent
You couldn't do this without me
Now look at you go
You're doing it without me
The "I told you so" is right there on the tip of my tongue

I was so resilient, I was holding it all back
I was keeping it together
Preempting we would crack anytime
Anyone would've lost their mind

Can you tell time has stopped?
That I'm right here, just waiting
To give us one more shot
All I've got
I need to know that we tried
I need to know that we tried

Can you tell that I've changed?
Everything could be different
I took it all to heart
Every word you said, I listened
I know all your terms, and I'm accepting your conditions

I was running out of please's
I was begging, I was pleading
You turned me away
Said I needed more time healing
Spent my whole summer tryna get my shit on track
Increasing all my chances in the fall, I'd get you back

Now all the months pass, and I see you face to face
I wonder if you see all the efforts that I made
Trembles in your voice the moment you start talking
I knew it there and then
My cry would turn to bawling
It stops

You finish what you say, my heart drops
Drops
Feels like I'm losing my blood
Blood
Double vision, might throw up
Up
Your words, they hit me like drugs
Drugs

I can tell time has passed
By the wash of your denim
The blue never lasts
But it doesn't fade for me
It doesn't fade for me
I can tell time has passed
By the wash of your denim
The blue never lasts
But it doesn't fade for me
It doesn't fade for me

Blossoms - Additional Driver in the Live Lounge ft. Declan McKenna

Blossoms - Additional Driver (ft. Declan McKenna)

Approach the junction at the Apollo
We’re due to play there a month tomorrow
Woke up this morning I was the cream of the crop
I should have checked, but I forgot
Send for the cops

In the old black tracksuit that I was sporting
I did some jobs picked up some parquet flooring
Life was so pleasant on this autumn day
I ran one last errand to The Range and was on my way

The speed limit’s 20 by the seventh wonder
I turned the corner probably fifteen under
Woke up this morning I was top of the pops
Now I’m a little more traffic cops
What the !!!!

Driving round’ town in your new car baby
What you trying to prove?
I’m an additional driver, this car’s my wife’s
So I won’t take this from you
I’ll take your digits and your number plate for future reference

All of a sudden the police come over
To me and a 44kw electric motor
They said “Can you give your license to me?”
Let me tell you I was not best pleased
I began to plead

No indication from the Fiat Panda
I’m sure you caught it on your dashboard camera
Believe me officer the exit was clear
Someone get me out of here
Now it gets weird

Fella comes over as if to help me
Turns out that all he wanted was a selfie
I used to wish that I was cream of the crop
Now I’m praying for the day that it stops
Send for the cops

Driving round’ town in your new car baby
What you trying to prove?

I’m an additional driver, this car’s my wife’s
So you’ll have to speak to her too
I sure hope that this exchange does not turn into a sentence

Now she’s claimed the insurance and it’s expensive
She said “I hope you understand from my perspective”
500 big ones that I had to pay
I should’ve stayed in bed today
Everybody says

Driving round’ town in your new car baby
What you trying to prove?
I’m an additional driver, this car’s my wife’s
So I won’t take this from you

Should’ve got the 192

  The Killers with Eddie Vedder “The Waiting”

Oh baby, don't it feel like heaven right now?
Don't it feel like somethin' from a dream?
Yeah, I've never known nothing quite like this
Don't it feel like tonight might never be again?
Baby, we know better than to try and pretend
Honey, no one could have ever told me 'bout this

Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
Well yeah, I might have chased a couple of women around
All it ever got me was down
Yeah, then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good as I feel right now
Baby, you're the only one that's ever known how
To make me wanna live like I wanna live now
I said, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you get one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
Oh, don't let it kill you, baby, don't let it get to you
Don't let 'em kill you, baby, don't let 'em get to you
I'll be your bleedin' heart, I'll be your cryin' fool
Don't let this go too far, don't let it get to you
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you get one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
Yeah, the waiting is the hardest part
Yeah It's the hardest part

Kensington - Perfect Family Day (acoustic live at Mediamarkt Almere)

 Kensington - Perfect Family Day

[Verse 1]
Focus on the rain
Dripping through every hole
Every night's the same
God has left this place
Left us on his way out
Risen questions stay

[Chorus]
And it hopelessly went wrong
This tiresome masquerade
A perfect family day
Tragically displayed

[Verse 2]
Cover up these stains
Keeping up appearances
Jaded smiles remain
Watching fate take place
We're sulking and we're stumbling through
Grey and spiteful days

[Chorus]
And it hopelessly went wrong
This tiresome masquerade
A perfect family day
Tragically displayed

Kensington - 'What Lies Ahead' (live bij Qmusic) 2019 // Domien

 Kensington - What Lies Ahead 

Cold and broken down
It's all I knew
I let it corner me in
And hide where my tracks lead
Now I'm waking up
And all I do
Is getting lost in the past
To find where I'd first hear
That I was never gonna be somebody
That I was never gonna feel light come around
And they rise again as I am told that I should see
Red now
And to fear what lies ahead now
But I know that I will
Do everything for you again
I will do everything for you again
And I bet now
You will see that I will burn what I don't need here
And I'll know it's alright, alright, alright
I'll know it's alright, alright, alright
How I faded out
'Cause I never knew
That all the thorns in my bed
Were passed down and taught me
That I was never gonna be somebody
That I was never gonna feel light come around
And they rise again as I am told that I should see
Red now
And to fear what lies ahead now
But I know that I will
Do everything for you again
I will do everything for you again
And I bet now
You will see that I will burn what I don't need here
And I'll know it's alright, alright, alright
I'll know it's alright, alright, alright
What if the years won't come?
It's caught up in my head
What if I'll be outrun?
It haunts me down instead
It has gone one way
And it was bound to break
And it all reminds me of a time I
Fooled around but now I'm fighting
Red now
And to fear what lies ahead now
But I know that I will
Do everything for you again
I'll do everything for you again
And I bet now
You will see that I will burn what I don't need here
And I'll know it's alright, alright, alright
I'll know it's allright, alright, alright

Badflower - Ghost (live)

 Badflower - Ghost

I tried it once before but I didn't get too far
I felt a lot of pain but it didn't stop my heart
And all I really wanted was someone to give a little f---
But I waited there forever and nobody even looked up
I tried it once before and I think I might have messed up
I struggled with the veins and I guess I didn't bleed enough
But maybe I'm alive because I didn't really wanna die
But nothing very special ever happens in my life
Take the blade away from me
I am a freak, I am afraid that
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me
I died to be the white ghost
Of the man that I was meant to be
I tried it like before and this time I made a deep cut
I thought about my friends and the way I didn't give enough
And I should have told my mother 'mom, I love you' like a good son
But this life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one
Take the blade away from me
I am a freak, I am afraid that
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me
I died to be the white ghost
Of the man that I was meant to be, yeah
I tried it once again and I think I might black out
I should have left a letter but I had nothing to write about
My blood is all around me, I get dizzy if I stand up
The cutting part was easy but regretting it is so f---ed
Take the blade away from me
I am a freak, I am afraid that
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me
I died to be the white ghost
Of the man that I was meant to be, yeah
I tried it once again and I think I went too far
I cut a little deeper and the pressure stopped my heart
I couldn't tell my mother 'mom, I love you', I'm a bad son
This life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one

Citizen Soldier - Hallejujah (I'm Not Dead)

  Citizen Soldier - Hallejujah (I'm Not Dead)

 [Verse 1]
Flatline, a breath away
I was born with one foot in the grave
Been to hell and back
Dealt a real bad hand, but I live with that

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I've learned to face my darkness
Now I embrace my doubt
Don't go and plan my funeral
Don't go and count me out
Don't go and count me out

[Chorus]
Living on a razor's edge
Danced with demons, tasted death
I've lost wars inside my head
But hallelujah, I'm not dead
Won't be waiting on my hearse
Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse
My heart still beats, my blood's still red
Hallelujah, I'm not dead
Hallelujah, I'm not dead

[Post-Chorus]
Hallelujah
Hallеlujah
[Verse 2]
Wake up another fight
Am I the victim or thе homicide
What's in my head left scars behind
Every step is an uphill climb

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've learned to live in shadows
Even without the light
I've learned to love the battles
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive

[Chorus]
Living on a razor's edge
Danced with demons, tasted death
I've lost wars inside my head
But hallelujah, I'm not dead
Won't be waiting on my hearse
Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse
My heart still beats, my blood's still red
Hallelujah, I'm not dead
Hallelujah, I'm not dead

[Bridge 1]
So if you're black and blue
And feeling so abused
No it don't make you damaged
It makes you living proof
That you are so much more
Than all this hell you've known
Remember this: What doesn't kill you is what builds your throne

[Bridge 2]
Living on a razor's edge
Danced with demons, tasted death
I've lost wars inside my head
But hallelujah, I'm not dead
Won't be waiting on my hearse
Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse
My heart still beats, my blood's still red
Hallelujah, I'm not dead

[Chorus]
Living on a razor's edge
Danced with demons, tasted death
I've lost wars inside my head
But hallelujah, I'm not dead
Won't be waiting on my hearse
Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse
My heart still beats, my blood's still red
Hallelujah, I'm not dead
Hallelujah, I'm not dead

 Citizen Soldier - Thank You for Hating Me 

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

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

I just wanna thank you
I just wanna thank you

For beating me down, for messing me up
For making me feel I'm not enough

For setting me off like a loaded gun
Thank you for making me
Stronger than I thought I could ever be
Thank you for hating me

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

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

I just wanna thank you
I just wanna thank you

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

 

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

Thank you for hating me
Thank you for

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

Noah Kahan - Draw You Out (Hunger Games : Sunrise on the Reaping)

 Noah Kahan - Draw You Out

I carry you on with me
I promised you
I would and I do
I float around
And show up unannounced
in the places that you knew

I draw you out
From the edge of my mouth
It feels good to say your name
It’s all I have now
And a wonderful sound
it makes

I was born with someone else's face
A cowards anger and a fighters rage
I wait around for them to take my place
And say love you’re free now
I’ve been caught in some old boring joke
The only punch line is how long it goes
I’m in a song with one descending note
I got nowhere else to be now

And no one tells you just how long you’ll last
Some go slowly and some far too fast
I’ve got time I never planned to have
I got years and years of it
I've been feeling like a wing clipped bird
Been repeating this old phrase I learned
That no one's voice is ever really heard
Until the whole world’s screaming it

I carry you on with me
I promised you
I would and I do
I float around
And show up unannounced
in the places that you knew

I draw you out
From the edge of my mouth
It feels good to say your name
It’s all I have now
And a wonderful sound
it makes

I was living in a stranger’s house
So I found shelter by the river’s mouth
And I go swimming 'til my feet touch ground
'Til I find something permanent
I see the rain over the valley’s edge
Won't be long until the whole world’s wet
And all my drowning will make way more sense
There ain't no better word for it

I carry you on with me
I promised you
I would and I do
I float around
And show up unannounced
in the places that you knew

I draw you out
From the edge of my mouth
It feels good to say your name
It’s all I have now
And a wonderful sound
it makes

Foo Fighters - Baker Street (Gerry Rafferty)

Foo Fighters - Baker Street 

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Windin' your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day, you'll drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul
And it's taking you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything

[Pre-Chorus]
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin', you're tryin' now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Way down the street, there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen and you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he'll settle down, in some quiet little town
And forget about everything

[Pre-Chorus]
But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin'
'Cause he's rollin', he's the rollin' stone
And when you wake up, it's a new mornin'
The sun is shinin', it's a new mornin'
And you're goin', you're goin' home

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]

[Instrumental Chorus]

Fuel - Falls On Me

 Fuel - Falls On Me

 [Verse 1]
I've seen you hanging 'round
This darkness where I'm bound
And this black hole I've dug for me
And silently within
With hands touching skin
The shock breaks my disease
And I can breathe

[Chorus]
And all of your weight, all you dream
Falls on me, it falls on me
And your beautiful sky, the light you bring
Falls on me, it falls on me

[Post-Chorus]
Hah-ah

[Verse 2]
Oh, your faith like the pain
Draws me in again
She washes all my wounds for me
The darkness in my veins
I never could explain
And I wonder if you ever see
Will you still believe?

[Chorus]
And all of your weight, all you dream
Falls on me, it falls on me
And your beautiful sky, the light you bring
Falls on me, it falls on me

[Bridge]
Am I that strong
To carry on?
I might change your life, I might save my world
Could you save me?
Hah-ah

[Chorus]
And all of your weight, all you dream
Falls on me, it falls on me
And your beautiful sky, the light you bring
Falls on me, it falls on me
And all of your weight, all you dream
Falls on me, it falls on me
And your beautiful sky, the light you bring
Falls on me, it falls on me

[Outro]
Hah-ah-ah
Yeah, ah

Machine Gun Kelly, X Ambassadors & Bebe Rexha - Home (from Bright: The Album)

  Machine Gun Kelly, X Ambassadors & Bebe Rexha - Home

 Home
A place where I can go
To take this off my shoulders
Someone take me home
Home
A place where I can go
To take this off my shoulders
Someone take me home, someone take me
Look, I didn't power through the struggle
Just to let a little trouble, knock me out of my position
And interrupt the vision
After everything I witnessed, after all of these decisions
All these miles, feets, inches
They can't add up to the distance
That I have been through, just to get to
A place where even if there's no closure, I'm still safe
I still ache from trying to keep pace
Somebody give me a sign, I'm starting to lose faith
Now tell me: how did all my dreams turn to nightmares?
How did I lose it when I was right there?
Now I'm so far that it feels like it's all gone to pieces
Tell me why the world never fights fair?
I'm trying to find
Home
A place where I can go
To take this off my shoulders
Someone take me home
Home
A place where I can go
To take this off my shoulders
Someone take me home(It's been a long time coming)
Someone take me
Hooooome, ho-o-o-o-me
Hooome, hooome
Someone take me
Hooooome, ho-o-o-o-me
Hoooome, hooome
Look, I been through so much pain
And it's hard to maintain, any smile on my face
'Cause there's madness on my brain
So I gotta make it back, but my home ain't on the map
Gotta follow what I'm feeling to discover where it's at
I need the (memory)
In case this fate is forever
Just to be sure these last days are better
And if I have any (enemies)
To give me the strength to look the
Devil in the face and make it home safe
Now tell me: how did all my dreams turn to nightmares?
How did I lose it when I was right there?
Now I'm so far that it feels like it's all gone to pieces
Tell me why the world never fights fair?
I'm trying to find
Home
A place where I can go
To take this off my shoulders
Someone take me home
Someone take me
I found no cure for the loneliness
I found no cure for the sickness
Nothing here feels like home
Crowded streets, but I'm all alone
I found no cure for the loneliness
I found no cure for the sickness
Nothing here feels like home
Crowded streets, but I'm all alone
Someone take me
Hoooome, ho-o-o-o-me
Take me home
Hoooome, hooome (take me home)
Someone take me
Hoooome, ho-o-o-o-me (someone, someone)
Nothing here feels like home(Hoooome, hooome)
(Take me home)
Someone take me
Hoooome, ho-o-o-o-me (someone, someone)
Nothing here feels like home(Hoooome, hooome)
(Take me home)
Someone take me

Autumn Kings - Gone, Gone, Gone

 Autumn Kings - Gone, Gone, Gone

I caught a feelin’ at the end of the night 
Vision of a god walkin’ into the light
Whisperin’ words that I needed to hear
Never lose faith while you’re livin’ in fear 
Then it was gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone 
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Had a premonition at the end of the night
Vision of a devil tryna swallow the light 
Screamin’ so loud, it was all I could hear 
Tellin’ me it’s better if I disappeared 
Then it was gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone 
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Can’t make up my mind 
I’m sick of never knowin’ my direction 
Lookin’ for a sign 
Need more than just the man in my reflection 
It’s time for me to take what’s mine 
Leave the rest to the great divine 
And find somewhere that I belong 
Before I’m gone 
Can’t make up my
Can’t make up my mind
Lookin’ for a sign 
Can’t make up my mind
I’m sick of never knowin’ my direction 
Lookin’ for a sign 
Need more than just the man in my reflection 
It’s time for me to take what’s mine 
Leave the rest to the great divine 
And find somewhere that I belong 
I’m sick of never knowin’ my direction 
Lookin’ for a sign 
Need more than just the man in my reflection 
It’s time for me to take what’s mine 
Leave the fears of the past behind 
And find somewhere that I belong 
Before I’m gone 
Gone, gone, gone 
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone

Audioslave Performs Show Me How to Live | Live in Cuba | Front Row Music

  Audioslave - Show Me How to Live

And with the early dawn moving right along,
I couldn't buy an eyeful of sleep.
And in the aching night under satellites,
I was not received.
Built with stolen parts,
A telephone in my heart,
Someone get me a priest,
To put my mind to bed.
This ringing in my head,
Is this a cure ,
Or is this a disease?

Nail in my hand,
From my creator.
You gave me life,
Now show me how to live.
Nail in my hand,
From my creator.
You gave me life,
Now show me how to live.

And in the afterbirth on the quiet earth,
Let the stains remind you,
You thought you made a man.
You better think again,
Before my role defines you.

From my creator.
You gave me life,
Now show me how to live.
Nail in my hand,
From my creator.
You gave me life,
Now show me how to live.

And in your waiting hands I will land
And roll out of my skin.
And in your final hours I will stand,
Ready to begin.
Ready to begin.
Ready to begin.
Ready to begin.

Nail in my hand,
From my creator.
You gave me life,
Now show me how to live.
Nail in my hand,
From my creator.
You gave me life,
Now show me how to live.
Show me how to live.
Show me how to live.
Show me how to live.
Show me how to live....

Durry - This Movie Sucks

 Durry - This Movie Sucks

I've been living life like it's a movie I don't wanna watch
Can we just cut right to the montage?
Skip ahead a month or two
And I thought i would be better
But I'm not
This movie sucks

I guess when I'm dead
That's just the ending that I get
No ride into the sunset
There's no bloopers at the end

So I'll just bide my time
And try my luck
Nod and smile
And bite my tongue again
Why do I keep trying 
To make the plot make sense

My life is a movie, that I don't wanna watch
A homemade horror flick on VHS
Why pretend that anybody gets a sequel
And a happy ever after in the end

I'm getting bored
I'm getting tired
So annoyed I'm even trying
You can guess who's dying next
But I'm just waiting for the plot twist
If I'm honest I forgot
Who's the bad guy
And who's not
I guess it just depends 
who's even watching
This movie sucks

My life is a movie, that I don't wanna watch
A homemade horror flick on VHS
Why pretend that anybody gets a sequel
And a happy ever after in the end

Happy Ever After
I'm a low budget disaster
Made with ketchup blood
Plastic guns 
When it's said and done

I guess when I'm dead
That's just the ending that I get
No ride into the sunset
There's no bloopers at the end

So I'll just bide my time
And try my luck
Nod and smile
And bite my tongue again
Why do I keep trying 
To make the plot make sense

I guess when I'm dead
That's just the ending that I get
No ride into the sunset
There's no bloopers at the end

So I'll just bide my time
And try my luck
Nod and smile
And bite my tongue again
Why do I keep trying 
To make the plot make sense

[Intro]
I saw the news today, and being human is a losing game
We're doomed to play, numb to the pain
So distracted that we don't notice as our last chance slowly passes
And collapses

[Verse 1]
Yeah, watch the world fall off its axis
Watch the bombs go off, paid for by your taxes
Watch the Met Ball, watch the brainrot
Watch the Go-Pro footage of the headshot
Genocide with a right click (Right click)
Advertisements make you want to buy shit (Buy shit, buy shit)
It's a constant drip of—

[Pre-Chorus]
Dopamine
More dopamine

[Chorus]
Welcome to the hell we're living in
And the ending of the world, we're witnessing
You can cry for help, no one's listening
No, no one's listening
Welcome to the hell we're living in
And the overexposure's sickening
You can cry for help, no one's listening
No one's listening, so listen in

[Verse 2]
Watch the stars walk the red carpet
Watch the cops shoot the wrong girl in her own apartment
Become a slave to the free market
Where you pick up the gun or become the target
Watch the downfall, watch the closing credits
It's over, forget it
You know where it's headed, straight to the gutter
Watch as the winter warms up like summer
Watch it all through your new smartphone
With a battery mined by a child in a war zone
Then pretend to be ignorant, watch the cognitive dissonance
Watch the court get stacked (Stacked), the bad guy win (Win)
Watch, 'cause you're looking at the mess you're in
This phone is a mirror, and I am just a reflection

[Pre-Chorus]
Dopamine
More dopamine

[Chorus]
Welcome to the hell we're living in
And the ending of the world, we're witnessing
You can cry for help, no one's listening
No, no one's listening
Welcome to the hell we're living in
And the overexposure's sickening
You can cry for help, no one's listening
No one's listening, so listen in
[Bridge]
The overlapping disaster, intersectional violence
I wanna just—
The maintaining of power in the final hour
I wanna just—
Climbing up broken ladders, nothing really matters
I wanna just—
Don't know where to begin, so I shatter the window
And then I just—

[Outro]
F---, woo
The overlapping disaster
The overlapping disaster, intersectional violence
I wanna just—

Revelation Chapter Five

1    AND I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed 
    with seven seals.

2    And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

3    And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

4    And I wept much because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

5    And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not:  behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath 
    prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

6    And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb
    as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

7    And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

8    And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having
    every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

9    And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof:  for thou wast
    slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10    And hast made us unto our God kings and priests and we shall reign on the earth.

11    And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders:  
    and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

12    Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and 
    strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

13    And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea,
    and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon
    the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

14    And the four beasts said, Amen.  And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth
    for ever and ever.  

    Revelation Chapter Five - KJV

Revelation Chapter Four

1    AFTER this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven:  and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a 
trumpet talking with me;  which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.

2    And immediately I was in the spirit:  and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

3    And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone:  and there was a rainbow round about the throne,
    in sight like unto an emerald.

4    And round about the throne were four and twenty seats:  and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, 
    clothed in white raiment;  and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

5    And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices:  and there were seven lamps of fire burning
    before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

6    And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal:  and in the midst of the throne, and round about
    the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

7    And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the
    fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

8    And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him;  and they were full of eyes within:  and they rest not day
    and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

9    And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

10    The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever,
    and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

11    Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power:  for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure
    they are and were created.

                                                        The irony is that we
                                                               attempt to
                                             DISOWN our DIFFICULT STORIES
                                                to appear more whole or more
                                                           ACCEPTABLE,
                                                    BUT OUR WHOLENESS
                                                --even our wholeheartedness--
                                             ACTUALLY DEPENDS ON THE 
                                                            integration of
                                            ALL OF OUR EXPERIENCES,

Chapter Three

OWNING OUR STORIES

A map does not just chart, it unlocks and formulates
 meaning;  it forms bridges between here and there,
between disparate ideas that we did not know were
 previously connected.  
                        ---Reif Larsen


I love maps not because they dictate the route or tell me when or how to travel, but simply because they mark the
waypoints I will eventually visit.  Knowing that these places exist and that they are well traveled, even if they are
unexplored by me, is powerful.

    I have charted the map of the rising strong process from the stories and experiences of men and women who
have found wholehearted ways to navigate struggle.  This process teaches us how to own our stories of falling down,
screwing up, and facing hurt so we can integrate those stories into our lives and write daring new endings.

    "Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we'll ever do."  I still believe
in this quote from two of my previous books--maybe now more than ever.  But I know that it takes more than courage
to own your story.  We own our stories so we don't spend our lives being defined by them or denying them.  And while
the journey is long and difficult at times, it is the path to living a more wholehearted life.


            THE RISING STRONG PROCESS

The goal of the process is to rise from our falls, overcome our mistakes, and face hurt in a way that bring more wisdom
and wholeheartedness.

    THE RECKONING-- Men and women who rise strong are willing and able to reckon with their emotions.  First, they
recognize that they're feeling something--a button has been pushed, they're hooked, something is triggered, their emotions
are off-kilter.  Second, they get curious about what's happening and how what they're feeling is connected to their thoughts
and behaviors.  Engaging in this process is how we walk into our story.

    THE RUMBLE-- Men and women who rise strong are willing and able to rumble with their stories.  By rumble, I mean
they get honest about the stories they've make up about their struggles and they are willing to revisit, challenge, and 
reality-check these narratives as they dig into topics such as boundaries, shame, blame, resentment, heartbreak, 
generosity, and forgiveness.

    Rumbling with these topics and moving from our first responses to a deeper understanding of our thoughts, feelings, 
and behaviors gives birth to key learnings about who we are and how we engage with others.  The rumble is where
wholeheartedness is cultivated and change begins.

    THE REVOLUTION-- Unlike evolutionary change, which is incremental, revolutionary change fundamentally transforms
our thoughts and beliefs.  Rumbling with our story and owning our truth in order to write a new, more courageous ending
transforms who we are and how we engage with the world.  Men and women who rise strong integrate the key learnings
that emerge from the rising strong process into how they live, love, lead, parent, and participate as citizens.  This has 
tremendous ramifications not only for their own lives, but also for their families, organizations, and communities.


                        INTEGRATING

The Lain root of the word integrate is integrare, which means "to make whole."  Integrating is the engine that moves
us through the reckoning, the rumble, and the revolution, and the goal of each of these processes is to make ourselves
whole.  Participants spoke about the importance of feeling genuine, authentic, and whole rather than always compartment-
alizing their lives or hiding parts of themselves or editing their stories.  The tools they used to integrate their stories of 
falling are readily available to all of us because they are deeply human and part of our wholeness:  storytelling and creativity
(primarily writing about or taking notes on their experiences).


                        INTEGRATION THROUGH CREATIVITY

Steve Jobs believed that "creativity is just connecting things."  He believed that creating was connecting the dots between
the experiences we've had, to synthesize new things.  He argued that this is only possible if we have more experiences or
devote more time to thinking about our experiences.  I agree--this is exactly why creativity is such a powerful integration
tool.  Creating is the act of paying attention to our experiences and connecting the dots so we can learn more about
ourselves and the world around us.  In addition to creativity-based courses and learning from that process, I was able
to interview more than one hundred creatives in this research.  No group taught me more about the inherently tough
middle space of processes and the power of integration.

    For our purposes we need to do just a little writing--nothing formal, just jotting down some notes on our experiences.  
Of course, you're welcome to do something more elaborate, but it's not necessary.  It's devoting time and attention to our
experiences that really matters.

    Among the professional storytellers I interviewed for this book was Shonda Rhimes, the creator and show runner of
Grey's Anatomy and Scandal, and one of my favorite story writers.  When I asked her about the role of struggle in
storytelling, she said, "I don't even know who a character is until I've seen how they handle adversity.  Onscreen and
offscreen, that's how you know who someone is."

    If integrate means "to make whole," then its opposite is to fracture, disown, disjoin, detach, unravel, or separate. 
I think many of us move through the world feeling this way.  The irony is that we attempt to disown our difficult stories
to appear more whole or more acceptable, but our wholeness--even our wholeheartedness--actually depends on the 
integration of all of our experiences, including the falls.  

The Broken View - Armor

The Broken View - Armor 

bloody desperate nothing
how you seem to belong
without your armor
do you feel stronger
when you know 
what it feels like
and you know 
when it feels right

I've been lost too long
to let myself not believe in you
even if that love just hurts like hell
I'll lean into you

so take away my armor
strip me of my apathy
take away my honor 
and leave me with honesty

I've been lost too long
to let myself not believe in you

wading in my darkness
I could see it all
It's a claustrophobic
drunken hopeless miracle
and you know
what it feels like
and you know
when it feels right

I've been lost too long to let myself
not believe in you
even if that love just hurts like hell
I'll lean into you

so take away my armor
strip me of my apathy
take away my honor
and leave me with honesty

I've been lost too long
to let myself not believe in you

I've been lost too long
to let myself not believe in you
even if that love just hurts like hell
I'll lean into you

so take away my armor
strip me of my apathy
take away my honor
and leave me with honesty

I've been lost too long
to let myself not believe in you

The Paradox - It's Over

 The Paradox - It's Over

No direction, deep depression
Think I need some decompression
Why'd she have to break me down?
Turn my brain around until I
Let go, forget all my regrets
Like going out together
Young love can't last forever

It's over, it's over now
I hope we can be friends
But I'm on my own again
It's over, it's over now
I'll never find a love like this, but it's over now

Four months later, I still hate her
Tried my best, thought I forgave her
Guess that I was wrong
But it won't be too long 'til I
Lеt go, forget all my regrets
Likе moving in together
Young love can't last forever

It's over, it's over now
I hope we can be friends
But I'm on my own again
It's over, it's over now
I'll never find a love like this, but it's over now

Sometimes I think about the days you stressed me out
The days we talked about the future together
But then you had to cheat and make this mess of me
I'll pick up every piece until I'm finally free

It's over, it's over now
I hope we can be friends
But I'm on my own again
It's over, it's over now
I'll never find a love like this, but it's over now
But it's over now
But it's over now
But it's over now

Tommy J - STILL GOT THE BLUES (Gary Moore)

 Tommy J - STILL GOT THE BLUES

Used to be so easy to give my heart away
But I found out the hard way
There's a price you have to pay
I found out that love was no friend of mine
I should have known time after time
So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
Used to be so easy to fall in love again
But I found out the hard way
It's a road that leads to pain
I found that love was more than just a game
You're playin' to win, but you lose just the same
So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
So many years since I've seen your face
Here in my heart, there's an empty space
Where you used to be
So long, it was so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
Though the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you

I’m spinning on the ceiling
I’m crashing out on the floor
I gave you every reason
To leave me begging for more
I’m coming down, creepin’ out on the porch
So darlin’ if you wanna go
Why don’t you say so?
I’m still hard to find
I guess I apologize
I’m around the corner
She thinks I ignore her
It catches up to me
Your excuses on repeat
I’ll never get it
I’ll always regret it
I’m spinning on the ceiling
I’m crashing out on the floor
I gave you every reason
To leave me begging for more
I’m coming down, creepin’ out on the porch
So darlin’ if you wanna go
Why don’t you say so?
Darlin’ if you wanna go
Darlin’ if you wanna go
Darlin’ if you wanna go
Darlin’ if you wanna go
Darlin’ if you wanna go
Darlin’ if you wanna go
I’m spinning on the ceiling
I’m crashing out on the floor
I gave you every reason
To leave me begging for more
I’m coming down, creepin’ out on the porch
So darlin’ if you wanna go
Why don’t you say so?
Why don’t you say so?

Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in
In my head, in my heart, in my soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again
Well, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, don't think so
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me, you get away from me
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I had to think awhile, I had to think awhile
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old
Well, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I hope so
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me (you get away from me)
You get away from me
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I had to think awhile (I had to think awhile)
I had to think awhile
Well, that is that and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky (you missed)
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye (you missed)
When the earth folded in on itself (you missed)
And said "good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell
(You missed, you missed) are really there
But I wouldn't hold my breath" (you missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death? (You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind
Well, I don't mind I don't mind
How the hell could I mind? Huh
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me (you get away from me), you get away from me
Well, that is that and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky (you missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?

The Dead Poet Society - Psalm 136

 The Dead Poet Society - Psalm 136

I was young when I was told that I loved god
But he murdered my mother, took her away in a black box
Now I gotta learn to sleep with the pain like a gun shot
Still he looks from above, says, "Why don't you wanna talk?"

All I think about is how I could've been there
Too late now gotta act like I don't care

I can't unlearn the guilt that I was given
It took a million years to be okay with living
What was the meaning in that God, for me to never be enough?
He says figure it out, shove it down, make your mind up

I am alone and coming undone
Is that how wanna show me love?
Forever alone, forever be numb
Is that what you want?

I am alone and coming undone
Is that how wanna show me love?
Forever alone, forever be numb
Is that what you want?

I was alone with her when she was dying
Must've been four in the morning and God you were quiet
She said you loved her but you weren't there when you were needed
You were nowhere to be found when her heart stopped beating

I am alone and coming undone
Is that how wanna show you love?
Forever alone, forever be numb
Is that what you want?

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?
Go on, go on without
Go on, go on without me, hey
Go on, go on without
Go on, go on without me, hey
Go on, go on without
Can you hear me?
Go on, go on without
Can you hear me now?
Go on, go on without
Can you hear me?
Go on go on without me, yeah
Can you hear me now?
Go on, go on without
Can you hear me?
Go on, go on without me, yeah
Can you hear me now?
Go on, go on without
Go on go on without me, yeah

Megadeth - Truth Be Told 

This is the first tale of death in the world
When Cain struck down Abel, a family broken
Since then mankind's dominated his own kind
To insult and injure, there's no such thing as peace
Till dead do us part, till the last

Truth be told - sin lies at the doorway
Truth be told - hell's open for business now
Truth be told - the soil cries out for revenge
Truth be told - and death is upon the ground
All around

The battle ain't over without spoils of war
Just cause it is written doesn't make it so
When you dance with the devil wait till the songs over
I ask myself, "How bad do I want you to live?"
My anger is near, till the last

Truth be told - sin lies at the doorway
Truth be told - hell's open for business now
Truth be told - the soil cries out for revenge
Truth be told - and death is upon the ground
All around

Tribulation strikes and we're hit hard
Still you just go on your way
Head in the sand, ignoring the rain
Just like the flood in Noah's day

Can't punish those for ruining the earth
It's suicide to some degree
Because we are all guilty, guilty as sin
There will be no peace, never for you and me

Before al qaeda and bin ladin
Long before Hitler and Hussein
Ever since the first murder was committed
The verdict's always been the same
Been the same, wrong!

The cursed future just repeats the past
There's hell to pay and stones to cast
So, there will be no peace, never peace
Till the last truth be told by you and me
