And so I’ve arrived
With gold in my eyes
Are you paying attention?
I was searching for something
As I watched you run
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
Were you looking for someone?
As I watched you go
I am mad because I don’t know what you used me for
I’ve been looking for so long
In Amerika
Throw my hands in the air!
Flash faded
Say you care but you don’t
You know I hate it!
It’s a rich kid game didn’t grow up with a throne
It’s all it really is
I was searching for something
As I watched you run
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
Were you looking for someone?
As I watched you go
I am mad because I don’t know what you used me for
Always talkin’ ‘bout one day
In Amerika
It’s the same story
You want glory son
I’ve been looking for so long
But you cut me out!
Throw my hands in the air cuz I…
Your palace
All the friends you own
So jealous
Felt that rich kid pain what it is to be alone
It’s all it really is
I was searching for something
As I watched you run
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
Were you looking for someone?
As I watched you go
I am mad because I don’t know what you used me for
Always talking about one day in Amerika
It’s the same story
You want glory son
In Amerika! In Amerika! In Amerika!

Isaiah Chapter 43
1 BUT now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not:
for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:
when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I
give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my
daughters from the ends of the earth;
7 Even every one that is called by my name; for I have created him for my glory. I have formed him:
yea, I have made him.
8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare
this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let
them hear, and say, It is truth.
10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and
believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you:
therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.
13 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work,
and who shall let it?
14 Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon,
and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16 Thus saith the LORD which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together,
they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way
in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls; because I give waters in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
22 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
23 Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings neither hast thou honoured me
with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices:
but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse,
and Israel to reproaches.
Isaiah Chapter 43 - KJV
Rise Against - Ricochet (Live from the A.R.T. Project)
Don't ask me to stay down
Don't tell me to get out of the way
And don't pretend you know my name
I thought you knew me better
I thought this rain would let up someday
But maybe I was wrong again
And when you turn the lights down low
Now tell me what you see
So we raise hands up high in the sky
Full speed, then we cover our eyes just dance
No, do not cry, bite down
'Cause my jaw is tight, stay close
Yeah, hold me tight, full steam
'Cause I'm in love with the lie
Deaf, dumb, and blind
Are we okay, are we alright?
A world away
And I'm calling out your name
So don't turn away
As the bullets ricochet
Are we in trouble right now?
Or did we let it get too far away?
Drifting further from our reach
There's no holy water
Yeah, there's no remedy to wash away
Oh, the stain that runs so deep
'Cause if I'm the one you want the most
So, why did you walk away? (Why did you walk away?)
So we raise hands up high in the sky
Full speed, then we cover our eyes just dance
No, do not cry, bite down
'Cause my jaw is tight, stay close
Yeah, hold me tight, full steam
'Cause I'm in love with the lie
Deaf, dumb, and blind
Are we okay, are we alright?
A world away
And I'm calling out your name, oh, oh-oh
So don't turn away
As the bullets ricochet
No, oh-oh, do not cry, bite down
My jaw is tight
No, oh-oh, do not cry, bite down
My jaw is tight
A world away
And I'm calling out your name
So don't turn away
As the bullets ricochet
Linkin Park - In The End
It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me
Will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Breaking the Girl
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Breaking the Girl
I am a man cut from the know
Rarely do friends come and then go
She was a girl soft but estranged
We were the two our lives rearranged
Feeling so good that day
A feeling of love that day
Twisting and turning, your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
(She meant you no harm)
Think you're so clever, but now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
(He loves no one else)
Raised by my dad, girl of the day
He was my man, that was the way
She was the girl left alone
Feeling the need to make me her home
I don't know what, when or why
The twilight of love had arrived
Twisting and turning, your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
(She meant you no harm)
Think you're so clever, but now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
(He loves no one else)
Twisting and turning, your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
(She meant you no harm)
Think you're so clever, but now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
(He loves no one else)
The White Stripes - There's No Home For You Here
The White Stripes - There's No Home For You Here
Ah
There's no home for you here girl, go away
There's no home for you here
There's no home for you here girl, go away
There's no home for you here
I'd like to think that all of this constant interaction
Is just the kind to make you drive yourself away
Each simple gesture done by me is counteracted
And leaves me standing here with nothing else to say
Completely baffled by a backward indication
That an inspired word will come across your tongue
Hands moving upward to propel the situation
Have simply halted
Now the conversation's done
There's no home for you here girl, go away
There's no home for you here
There's no home for you here girl, go away
There's no home for you here
I'm only waiting for the proper time to tell you
That it's impossible to get along with you
It's hard to look you in the face when we are talking
So it helps to have a mirror in the room
I've not been really looking forward to the performance
But there's my cue and there's a question on your face
Fortunately I have come across an answer
Which is go away
And do not leave a trace
Ah
There's no home for you here girl, go away
There's no home for you here
There's no home for you here girl, go away
There's no home for you here
Waking up for breakfast
Burning matches
Talking quickly
Breaking baubles
Throwing garbage
Drinking soda
Looking happy
Taking pictures
So completely stupid
Just go away
Ah
Job Chapter Eight
1 THEN answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
3 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
4 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
5 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
6 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation
of thy righteousness prosperous.
7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
8 For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
10 Shall not they teach thee and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
13 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
16 He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden,
17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
18 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing and thy lips with rejoicing.
22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
Job Chapter Eight - KJV
Bear's Den - Gratitude
It's a form of gratitude that when my thoughts turn to you
A pen can feel so heavy
With ink enough for a violent flood breaching the levee
I still couldn't lay a glove on what I feel for you
As the rain pours down
And it's so like you
To show up here right when I least expect you to
I started driving, not knowing where I was gonna go
And you appear, hair blowing outside the window
Saying, "I know a place we could go"
Little light, please shine forever
I call you out so that I'll always remember
Take me with you wherever it is you wanna go
In my weaker moments, I still find you there
Offering a way out, a way out of here
Out of sight, out of mind
We could be outside of time
If you just give me the sign
I won't leave you behind
We pull up at the old waterfalls
Where we watched the water form a wall
Outside the caves of Bearsden
Your eyes would light up whenever you spoke of them
I went out looking to try and find
A memory of you that stays kind
I know a place we could go
Little light, please shine forever
I call you out, so that I'll always remember
Take me with you wherever it is you wanna go
In my weaker moments, I still find you there
Offering a way out, a way out of here
Out of sight, out of mind
We could be outside of time, if you'd just give me the sign
I won't leave you behind
In my weaker moments, I still find you there
Offering a way out, a way out of here
Out of sight, out of mind
We could be outside of time
If you'd just give me the sign
I won't leave you behind
It's a form of gratitude that when my thoughts turn to you
A pen can feel so heavy
With ink enough for a violent flood breaching the levee
Psalm 51 - KJV and Scottish Metrical Psalter
To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.
1 HAVE mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified
when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; and my tongue shall sing aloud
of thy righteousness.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering:
then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
Psalm 51 - KJV
1 After thy loving-kindness, Lord,
have mercy upon me:
For thy compassions great, blot out
all mine iniquity.
2 Me cleanse from sin, and throughly wash
from mine iniquity:
3 For my transgressions I confess;
my sin I ever see.
4 'Gainst thee, thee only, have I sinn'd,
in thy sight done this ill;
That when thou speak'st thou may'st be just,
and clear in judging still.
5 Behold, I in iniquity
was form'd the womb within;
My mother also me conceiv'd
in guiltiness and sin.
6 Behold, thou in the inward parts
with truth delighted art;
And wisdom thou shalt make me know
within the hidden part.
7 Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me,
I shall be cleansed so;
Yea, wash thou me, and then I shall
be whiter than the snow.
8 Of gladness and of joyfulness
make me to hear the voice;
That so these very bones which thou
hast broken may rejoice.
9 All mine iniquities blot out,
thy face hide from my sin.
10 Create a clean heart, Lord, renew
a right sp'rit me within.
11 Cast me not from thy sight, nor take
thy Holy Sp'rit away.
12 Restore me thy salvation's joy;
with thy free Sp'rit me stay.
13 Then will I teach thy ways unto
those that transgressors be;
And those that sinners are shall then
be turned unto thee.
14 O God, of my salvation God,
me from blood-guiltiness
Set free; then shall my tongue aloud
sing of thy righteousness.
15 My closed lips, O Lord, by thee
let them be opened;
Then shall thy praises by my mouth
abroad be published.
16 For thou desir'st not sacrifice,
else would I give it thee;
Nor wilt thou with burnt-offering
at all delighted be.
17 A broken spirit is to God
a pleasing sacrifice:
A broken and a contrite heart,
Lord, thou wilt not despise.
18 Shew kindness, and do good, O Lord,
to Sion, thine own hill:
The walls of thy Jerusalem
build up of thy good will.
19 Then righteous off 'rings shall thee please,
and off 'rings burnt, which they
With whole burnt-off 'rings, and with
calves,
shall on thine altar lay.
Psalm 51 Scottish Metrical Psalter
Alexi Murdoch - All My Days
Well I have been searching all of my days
All of my days
Many a road, you know
I've been walking on
All of my days
And I've been trying to find
What's been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night
Well I have been quietly standing in the shade
All of my days
Watch the sky breaking on the promise that we made
All of this rain
And I've been trying to find
What's been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night
Well many a night I found myself with no friends standing near
All of my days
I cried aloud
I shook my hands
What am I doing here
All of these days
For I look around me
And my eyes confound me
And it's just too bright
As the days keep turning into night
Now I see clearly
It's you I'm looking for
All of my days
Soon I'll smile
I know I'll feel this loneliness no more
All of my days
For I look around me
And it seems you've found me
And it's coming into sight
As the days keep turning into night
As the days keep turning into night
And even breathing feels all right
Yes, even breathing feels all right
Now even breathing feels all right
It's even breathing
Feels all right
Gregory Alan Isakov with the Colorado Symphony "The Stable Song"
Gregory Alan Isakov "The Stable Song"
Remember when our songs were just like prayers
Like gospel hymns that you caught in the air?
Come down, come down sweet reverence
Unto my simple house and ring
And ring
Ring like silver, ring like gold
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio
Ring like clear day wedding bells
Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell?
We'll never tell
And come to me clear and cold
On some sea
Watch the world spin in waves
Mad machine
Now I've gone crazy, couldn't you tell?
You threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell
Now I'm covered up in straw, belly up on a table
Well, I drank and sang, and passed in the stable (hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm-hmm)
And that tall grass grows high and brown
Well, I dragged you straight in the muddy ground
And you sent me back to where I roam
Well, I cursed and I cried, but now I know
Oh, now I know
And I ran back to that hollow again
The moon was just a sliver back then
And I ached for my heart like some tin man
When it came, oh, it beat and it boiled and it rang
Oh, it's ringing
Ring like crazy, ring like hell
Turn me back into that wild-haired gale
Ring like silver, ring like gold
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal (hmm-hmm)

Hanson - Penny & Me
Cigars in the summertime under the sky by the light
I can feel you read my mind
I can see it in your eyes under the moon as it plays
Like music every line
There's a rug with bleeding dye under the fan in the room
Where the passions burning high by the chair
With the leopard skin under the light
It's always Penny and me tonight
Verse 2
On the plane step up with both my feet
Riding in seat number 3 on a flight to NYC
Got my bean in a coffee cup next to my seat
Catch the view and another good book to read
Sitting at home over the friendly skies
Missing her eyes
It's always Penny and me tonight
Chorus
'Cause Penny and me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up, push the pedal to the ground
And Penny and me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes, pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight
Verse 3
Staring at a million city lights
But it's still Penny and I all alone beneath the sky
Feel the wind brushing slowly by
If I could soar I'd try to take these wings and fly
Away to where the leaves turn red
But no matter where I am instead
Singing along to feeling alright
Or making it by under pink moonlight
It's always Penny and me tonight
Chorus
'Cause Penny and me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up, push the pedal to the ground
And Penny and me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes, pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight
Bridge
Penny likes to get away and drown her pain in lemonade
Penny dreams of rainy days and nights up late by the fireplace
And aimless conversations about the better days
Singing along to feeling alright, yeah
Or making it by under pink moonlight
It's always Penny and me tonight
Chorus
'Cause Penny and me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up, push the pedal to the ground
And Penny and me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight
Coda
Penny and me tonight
Penny and me tonight
Penny and me tonight
Proverbs Chapter 21
1 THE king's heart is in the hand of the LORD as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
4 An high look and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
5 The thought of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
8 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.
9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
15 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
20 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.
21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
26 He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.

Dexter and the Moonrocks - Happy to Be Here
Dexter and the Moonrocks - Happy to Be Here
Where the hell am I at
Woke up in the backseat
I miss my bed
Don’t hold it against me
My guts are f---ed up
Mother is worried
I ain’t had a drop
But my vision is blurry
I’m happy to be here
Happy to be here
Happy to be here
Like everyone else
Six cities to go
Don’t let it get you
Can’t wait to be home
Can’t wait to be with you
But I’m happy to be here
Happy to be here
Happy to be here
Like everyone else
All by myself
Did I miss a step
Another trip round the sun
Did you grow an inch
Am I still young
But I’m happy to be here
Happy to be here
I’m happy to be here
Like everyone else
So happy to be here
Happy to be here
I’m happy to be here
Like everyone else
All by myself
Bad Omens - Specter
[Verse 1]
Oh, I can't leave, but I can't be in this place
This must all be an illusion skipping frames
Years of living with a cold and empty space
And it haunts me every time I think I'm safe
[Chorus]
Do you feel love?
I know I don't
With no one to hold
Do you feel love, love, love?
Do you feel love?
When you're alone
Do you feel at home?
Do you feel love, love, love?
Do you feel—
[Verse 2]
Like a frenzy, like an ocean overflowed
This must all be just an accident at most
Oh, I'm changing, and I feel more like a ghost
Like a specter in your headlights on the road
[Chorus]
Do you feel lovе?
I know I don't
With no one to hold
Do you feel love, love, lovе?
Do you feel love?
When you're alone
Do you feel at home?
Do you feel love, love, love?
Do you feel love?
[Bridge]
Something you're missing made you who you were
'Cause I've kept my distance, it just made it worse
But I've learned to live with the way that it hurts
Something you're missing made you who you were
'Cause I've kept my distance, it just made it worse
But I've learned to live with the way that it hurts
[Outro]
Do you feel love?
I know I don't
With no one to hold
Do you feel love, love, love?
Do you feel love?
I know I don't
With no one to hold
Do you feel love, love, love, love?

Switchfoot - "Levitating" cover (Dua Lipa)
(original lyrics)
If you wanna run away with me, I know a galaxy
And I can take you for a ride
I had a premonition that we fell into a rhythm
Where the music don't stop for life
Glitter in the sky, glitter in my eyes
Shining just the way I like
If you're feeling like you need a little bit of company
You met me at the perfect time
You want me, I want you, baby
My sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way, we're renegading
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you all night, come on, dance with me
I'm levitating
You, moonlight, you're my starlight (you're the moonlight)
I need you all night, come on, dance with me
I'm levitating
I believe that you're for me, I feel it in our energy
I see us written in the stars
We can go wherever, so let's do it now or never, baby
Nothing's ever, ever too far
Glitter in the sky, glitter in our eyes
Shining just the way we are
I feel like we're forever, every time we get together
But whatever, let's get lost on Mars
You want me, I want you, baby
My sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way, we're renegading
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you all night, come on, dance with me
I'm levitating
You, moonlight, you're my starlight (you're the moonlight)
I need you all night, come on, dance with me
I'm levitating (whoo)
You can fly away with me tonight
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm levitating (whoo)
You can fly away with me tonight
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (whoo)
My love is like a rocket, watch it blast off
And I'm feeling so electric, dance my arse off
And even if I wanted to, I can't stop
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (whoo)
My love is like a rocket, watch it blast off
And I'm feeling so electric, dance my arse off
And even if I wanted to, I can't stop
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You want me, I want you, baby
My sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way, we're renegading
I got you (yeah), moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you all night (all night), come on, dance with me
I'm levitating (whoo)
You can fly away with me tonight (tonight)
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (let me take you for a ride)
I'm levitating (whoo)
You can fly away with me tonight (tonight)
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (let me take you for a ride)
I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight (you are my starlight)
I need you all night, come on, dance with me (come on, dance with me, baby)
I'm levitating
You, moonlight, you're my starlight (you're the moonlight)
I need you all night, come on, dance with me
I'm levitating
Glass Animals - Creatures in Heaven (VEVO live)
Glass Animals - Creatures in Heaven
[Verse 1]
Three in the morning, making love
Laid on the floor of your apartment
Bird's eye view of the two of us
Face in make-up and cheap fake blood
What do you think about when you think about love?
I'm dumbstruck when you're tender, but
It's three in the morning, be in the moment
Here in the moment, free in the moment
[Pre-Chorus]
It tears through my head, does it haunt you too?
Diamonds in the dark in your old bedroom
You held me like my mother made me just for you
You held me so close that I brokе in two
It tears through my head, does it haunt you too?
Nеver really said that I loved you too
Lucky, lucky you 'cause I'm fortune's fool
Such small words but they hit so huge
[Chorus]
I don't think I realize
Just how much I miss you sometimes
We were young and so in love
We were just creatures in heaven
I don't think I realize
Just how much I miss you sometimes
For a moment we were just
We were just creatures in heaven
[Verse 2]
Three in the morning, safe inside
Bury me here in your laundry pile, at
Three in the morning, be in the moment
Here in the moment, free in the moment
Three in the morning, over like that
Go slow-motion, cut it to black
'Cause it's merely a moment, here for a moment
Here is the moment, here for a moment
[Pre-Chorus]
It tears through my head, does it haunt you too?
Diamonds in the dark in your old bedroom
You held me like my mother made me just for you
Held me so close that I broke in two
It tears through my head, does it haunt you too?
Never really said that I loved you too
Lucky, lucky you 'cause I'm fortune's fool
Such small words but they hit so huge
[Chorus]
I don't think I realize
Just how much I miss you sometimes
We were young and so in love
We were just creatures in heaven
I don't think I realize
Just how much I miss you sometimes
For a moment we were just
We were just creatures in heaven
[Bridge]
I don't see the point in a subtle romance
Ten tonne heartache sitting on your back
Scared of the crack where the light comes through
I'm only really me when I'm here with you
And it gets into your head like a cosmic zoom
Coat on the door like an old space suit
So long, cowboy, you're so cool
Cash in hand with a memory of you
[Chorus]
I don't think I realize
Just how much I miss you sometimes
We were young and so in love
We were just creatures in heaven
I don't think I realize
Just how much I miss you sometimes
For a moment we were just
We were just creatures in heaven
[Outro]
Creatures in heaven
Back then we were just
Creatures in heaven
We were just creatures in heaven
Live - All Over You (2 Meter Sessions, 1995)
Our love is like water
Pinned down and abused
For being strange
Our love is no other
Than me alone
For me all day
Our love is like water/angels
Pinned down and abused
All over you, all over me
The sun, the fields, the sky
I've often tried to hold the sea
The sun, the fields, the tide
Pay me now, lay me down
Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Live On MTV Unplugged, 1993 / Unedited)
Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
Her husband was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, the pines
The sun don't shine
I'd shiver the whole night through
Isaiah Chapter 42
1 BEHOLD, my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him:
he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth
judgment unto truth.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the
earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that
walk therein:
6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee
for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness
out of the prison house.
8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea,
and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the
inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry,
yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing
woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands,
and I will dry up the pools.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not
known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do
unto them, and not forsake them.
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the
molten images, Ye are our gods.
18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect,
and blind as the LORD'S servant?
20 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison
houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
23 Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have
sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.
25 Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set
him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
Isaiah Chapter 42 - KJV

안녕하세요 [An-nyŏng-ha-se-yo]
Sometimes you've got to bleed to know,
That you're alive and have a soul,
But it takes someone to come around to show you how.
She's the tear in my heart, I'm alive,
She's the tear in my heart, I'm on fire,
She's the tear in my heart, Take me higher,
Than I've ever been.
The songs on the radio are ok,
But my taste in music is your face,
And it takes a song to come around to show you how.
She's the tear in my heart, I'm alive,
She's the tear in my heart, I'm on fire,
She's the tear in my heart, Take me higher,
Than I've ever been.
Than I've ever been
Than I've ever been
Than I've ever been
You fell asleep in my car, I drove the whole time,
But that's ok, I'll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine,
I'm driving here I sit, cursing my government,
For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement.
You fell asleep in my car, I drove the whole time,
But that's ok, I'll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine,
I'm driving here I sit, cursing my government,

That you're alive and have a soul,
But it takes someone to come around to show you how.
She's the tear in my heart, I'm alive,
She's the tear in my heart, I'm on fire,
She's the tear in my heart, Take me higher,
Than I've ever been.
My heart is my armor,
She's the tear in my heart, she's a carver,
She's a butcher with a smile, cut me farther,
Than I've ever been.
Than I've ever been
Than I've ever been
Than I've ever been
My heart is my armor,
She's the tear in my heart, she's a carver,
She's a butcher with a smile, cut me farther,
Than I've ever been.
BAD OMENS - The Worst In Me
Is there nothing left to keep myself awake?
To keep the walls from caving in
When all they ever do is try to bend and break
Is there is forgiveness in the end?
I need relief - A failure’s coming on
Just breathe in deep
It’s taking far too long
I had you in my grip, But you're starting to slip
Bring out the worst in me
And now it's come to end
I think I'm giving in
You set my demons free
It seems no matter where I look it’s always gone
With you I know I’ll never win
It’s hard to say where it went so wrong
And failed me in the end
I need relief - A failure’s coming on
Just breathe in deep
It’s taking far too long
I need relief - This weakness carries on
Please be a dream - Or was it all along?
It's better when you're with me
But that's better left unsaid
It's better when I'm empty
But I still let you in
I had you in my grip, But you're starting to slip
Bring out the worst in me
And now it's come to end
I think I'm giving in
You set my demons free
I had you in my grip, But you're starting to slip
Bring out the worst in me
Please won't you stay for me
Don't ever let me be
You set my demons free
In Color - Headlights
Yeah, you’re driving with your headlights off
It’s automatic, yeah you’ve made some mistakes
But I don’t really care at all
Just keep on driving ‘til you make it to my place
You’re crying in the shower,
wiping makeup off your face
It’s obvious, can’t promise you it’s gonna be okay
You know you look so pretty when you say
I’m not the one
Just turn and run
Keep driving with your headlights off
(You, yeah)
(I’m waiting on you, yeah)
(Keep waiting on you, yeah)
(I know, I know)
Now when he looks at you,
Do you look away?
Now when he’s holding you and it’s not the same Way that I do,
Same way that I do
Now that we’re done
Just keep on driving ‘til you make it to my place
You’re crying in the shower,
Wiping makeup off your face
It’s obvious, can’t promise you it’s gonna be okay
You know you look so pretty when you say
I’m not the one
Just turn and run
Keep driving with your headlights off
