Rise Against - Prayer of the Refuge

  Rise Against - Prayer of the Refuge

Warm yourself by the fire son and the morning will come soon
I'll tell you stories of a better time in a place that we once knew
Before we packed our bags and left all this behind us in the dust
We had a place that we could call home and a life no one could touch

Don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground
I don't need your help now, you won't let me down, down, down
Don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground
I don't need your help now, you won't let me down, down, down, down

We are the angry and the desperate, the hungry and the cold
We are the ones who kept quiet and always did what we were told
But we've been sweating while you slept so calm in the safety of your home
We've been pulling out the nails that hold up everything you've known

Don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground
I don't need your help now, you won't let me down, down, down
Don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground
I don't need your help now, you won't let me down, down, down, down

So open your eyes child, let's be on our way
Broken windows and ashes are guiding the way
Keep quiet no longer, we'll sing through the day
Of the lives that we lost, and the lives we've reclaimed
[Down]

Don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground
I don't need your help now, you won't let me down, down, down
Don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground
I don't need your help now, you won't let me down, down, down, down

Don't hold me up [I don't need your help, I stand my ground]
Don't hold me up [I don't need your help]
No! No! No!
Don't hold me up [I don't need your help, I stand my ground]
Don't let me down, down, down, down, down

Rise Against - Behind Closed Doors

 Rise Against - Behind Closed Doors

Chairs thrown and tables toppled
Hands armed with broken bottles
Standing no chance to win but we're not running
We're not running

There's a point I think we're missing
It's in the air we raise our fists in
In the smiles we cast each other
my sister, my brother

About the time we gave up hoping
We'd ever find these locks still open
Stumbling on stones unturned
The hurt we feel, we all have earned
The lines we cross in search of change
but all they see is treason

Although we have no obligation to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
[Breakout] I won't be left here
behind closed doors

Bonfires burn like beacons, guiding the lost and weakened
Flames dance on crashing waves, guiding ships who've gone astray
Time out, let's stop and think this through
We've all got better things to do than talk in circles and run in place
Answers are inches from our face

Although we have no obligation to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
[Breakout] I won't be left here
behind closed doors

Black eyes, broken fingers
Blood drips and I let it run down my lips into my swollen gums
When hope is non-existent, our instincts all scream "run"
We never turn our backs or even bite our tongues

Although we have no obligation to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
[Breakout] I won't be left here
behind closed doors
[Behind closed doors]
Although we have no obligation to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
[Breakout] I won't be left here
behind closed doors


Bastille - Million Pieces (ft. The Chamber Orchestra of London - Live)

 Bastille - Million Pieces 

I breath in hard 
Don’t speak cos it’s like a bitter pill 
You blow my mind, you make my heart beat 
Harder, harder, harder, hard 

The king’s a clown 
No one is laughing it’s not a drill 
Just look outside the world is ending 
Faster, faster, faster, faster, fast 

The echoes of that news ring loud (the echoes, the echoes) 
No sound can ever drown it out (the echoes) 

It breaks my heart, breaks my heart into 
A million pieces 
Oh, it breaks my heart into a million pieces 

If it’s gonna break me won’t you let me go? 
Leave it till the morning, I don’t wanna know 
Breaks my heart, breaks my heart into 
A million pieces 

We’re too far gone 
Nothing I say will mean anything 
Let’s drink, f---, dance right through disaster 
I don’t wanna talk about it now 

The echoes of that news ring loud (the echoes, the echoes) 
No sound can ever drown it out (the echoes) 

It breaks my heart, breaks my heart into 
A million pieces 
Oh, it breaks my heart into a million pieces 

If it’s gonna break me won’t you let me go? 
Leave it till the morning, I don’t wanna know 
Breaks my heart, breaks my heart into 
A million pieces 

Get fear and loathing out your mind 
And don’t pull me, don’t pull me down from the ceiling 

It breaks my heart, breaks my heart into 
A million pieces 
Oh, it breaks my heart into a million pieces 

If it’s gonna break me won’t you let me go? 
Leave it till the morning, I don’t wanna know 
Breaks my heart, breaks my heart into 
A million pieces 

A Perfect Circle - Weak and Powerless

 A Perfect Circle - Weak and Powerless

Tilling my own grave to keep me level
Jam another dragon down the hole
Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
one that pushes me along, and leaves me so

Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless
Over you

Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of China
White as Dracula as I approach the bottom

Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless
Over you

Pale angel go away, come again some other day
Devil has my ear today, I'll never hear a word you say
He promised I would find a little solace and some peace of mind
Whatever, just as long as I don't feel so

Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless
Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless
Over you
Over you

Skillet - Surviving the Game

 Skillet - Surviving the Game

To be more than a conqueror
You have to learn to enjoy the pain
If you want to survive the game 

You can try to defeat me (beat me)
You dunno it’s the pain that’ll feed me (feed me)
And I'm gonna take back what you took before
Coz I was born for this 

All the bones that you’re breaking (breaking)
You pretend you’re the one that can save me (save me)
Now I’m taking it back - it was never yours 
I’m fighting

Fighting for my focus
Give the pain a purpose
Light the fire inside 
Feel it come alive (come alive)
Show ‘em what I’m made of
Victories for the brave ones
Who never bow the knee when it’s do or die

One more time

Surviving the game
I can be unstoppable 
Gonna walk through hell 
Gonna shake the walls
Survive - Surviving the game

Living the impossible
I’m a champion, Indestructible
Survive - coz I’m
 
Surviving the game
I can be unstoppable
Gonna be indestructible
I can be unstoppable
Gonna be indestructible

All the liars around me (round me)
Like the wolves at the walls they surround me (round me)
In the face of the fear I keep standing tall
I will conquer this

I come out like a lion (lion) 
I was born to be demon-defiant (biting)
And I won’t ever let this kingdom fall
I’ll show them

Show them what you’re made of
Victories for the brave ones
Never bow the knee coz it’s do or die

I am more than a conqueror 
The past behind me life is ahead 
I’ll take the way of the Warrior
I walk alone no fear to the death

YUNGBLUD - breakdown.

YUNGBLUD - breakdown.   

I’ve been fighting the changes  
Tearing my heart out  
Wanting to die before I open my eyes  
 
Been fighting the changes  
Tearing my heart out

Go round the bend before the sun comes  
Things in my head just don’t line up 
Don’t wanna leave my bed coz if I do I feel like I’ll die  
 
Go round the bend before the sun comes  
Things in my head just don’t line up 
Don’t wanna leave my bed, every time I do I feel like

Oh

Oh oh  
 
Don’t forget to put your feet in the grass 
Tell your mum that you love her 
Say you cleaned up your act  
 
Give money to the homeless man 
Help him buy a bar 
 
When you’re buying your morning coffee 
Ask them how they are  
 
God save the Sunday morning 
Pray for me on the Saturday night 
 
Talk polite 
Don’t start fights 
Don’t tell lies 
 
That’s for the people  
With oblivious short sight 
 
One day we’ll meet man  
And I’ll say alright  
 
See the world is pretty big man 
but don’t feel small in it  
 
Sometimes you lose a number but I swear you’re still calling it  
 
I promise you it’ll be alright in the end 
 
F--- the depression it’s all in your head 
stay with your friends  
 
And walk up the hill at quarter to six in the morning  
 
Take in the air whilst everyone else is still snoring  
Express yourself with your friends  
They’ll save your life you know  
 
Everything’s about connection you don’t have to be alone

Live - Dolphin's Cry

Live - Dolphin's Cry 

The way you're bathed in light
reminds me of that night
God laid me down into your rose garden of trust
and I was swept away
with nothin' left to say
some helpless fool
yeah I was lost in a swoon of peace
you're all I need to find
so when the time is right
come to me sweetly, come to me
come to me

love will lead us, alright
love will lead us, she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin's cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it's in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us

oh yeah, we meet again
it's like we never left
time in between was just a dream
did we leave this place?
this crazy fog surrounds me
you wrap your legs around me
all I can do to try and breathe
let me breathe so that I
so we can go together!

love will lead us, alright
love will lead us, she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin's cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it's in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us

life is like a shooting star
it don't matter who you are
if you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time
we are lost 'til we are found
this phoenix rises up from the ground
and all these wars are over

over
over
singin' la da da, da da da

come to me
singin' la da da da, da da da

Falling in Reverse - Coming Home

 Falling in Reverse - Coming Home

Tell me who you are
Your father has forsaken you
Left you with those scars
My hope is that you’ll make it through
Hate must never win
Even when we’re worlds apart
Your love is not a sin
Even if it’s hard
Even when I’m far
I will always be there
 
Hold on my dear 
I’m coming home
Don’t let your fears
Take control
I can finally hear
Her message loud and clear
Hold on my dear 
I’m coming home
 
Transmission from the stars
A message from the atmosphere
Etched into my heart
Your purpose there is still unclear
The ghost of you lives on
Through everything I see and touch
Even when you’re gone
Even if it’s hard
Even when I’m far
I will always be there
 
Hold on my dear 
I’m coming home
Don’t let your fears
Take control
I can finally hear
Her message loud and clear
Hold on my dear 
I’m coming home
 
A fallen angel is what you are
Your father has forsaken you
Left you with those scars
My hope is that you make it through
Hate must never win
Even when we’re worlds apart
Your love is not a sin
Even if it’s hard
 
Hold on my dear 
I’m coming home
Don’t let your fears
Take control
I can finally hear
Her message loud and clear
Hold on my dear 
I’m coming home
 
I’m coming home

Prince - Diamonds and Pearls (Special Olympics: Live at Metrodome, July 1991)

 Prince - Diamonds and Pearls 

This will be the day
That you will hear me say
That I will never run away

I am here for you
Love is meant for two
Now tell me what u're gonna do

If I gave you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl
If I could I would give you the world
But all I can do is just offer you my love

Which one of us is right
If we always fight
Why can't we just let love decide (Let love decide)

Am I the weaker man
Because I understand
That love must be the master plan (Love is the master plan)

If I gave you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl
If I could I would give you the world
But all I can do is just offer you my love

D to the I to the A to the M
O to the N to the D to the pearls of love
D to the I to the A to the M (To the M)
O to the N to the D to the pearls of love

There will come a time (There will come a time)
When love will blow your mind (Blow your mind)
And everything you'll look 4 you'll find (Take a look inside)

That will be the time (That will be the time)
That everything will shine (Forever)
So bright it makes you colorblind (You will be color blind)

If I gave you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl
If I could I would give you the world
All I can do is just you my love

If I gave you diamonds and pearls (Pearls)
Would you be a happy boy or a girl (Yeah yeah)
If I could I would give you the world (Give you the world)
All I can do is just offer you my love (All I can do)

If I gave you diamonds and pearls (Diamonds)
Would you be, would you, would you
(Would ya, would ya, would ya be happy little baby)
A happy boy or a girl
If I could I would give you the world

CheVelle - Remember When

 CheVelle - Remember When

Nowhere
Remember you’re souvenirs 
The memory’s fuel in space
When you’re drifting off to nowhere
Nowhere

Remember when 
We’re right side up
Yet I’m falling off

The hope was to fool yourself 
To suffer was worth the cause
As we’re drifting off to nowhere 
Nowhere, nowhere 

Remember when
We’re right side up
And yet I’m falling off, nowhere 

Remember when 
Remember your youth instead 
When you’re drifting off to nowhere 
Nowhere 

Nowhere 
We’re right side up
And yet I’m falling off

Remember when 
Remember you’re youth instead 
When you’re drifting off to nowhere 
Nowhere 
Nowhere

Bad Omens - Like a Villain

Bad Omens - Like a Villain 

Look into my face, then look again 
We are not the same, we’re different 
To tell your tales and fables, you couldn’t wait 

You need a new clean slate without the dents 
A place to put your pain, your consequence 
When you look into the mirror are you even there? 

I don’t wanna know all your secrets because I’ll tell
It’s hard enough being alone with myself 
I don’t know how long I’ll be holding on 
I know you tried your hardest I know that you meant well,
but you pushed me to the edge and I slipped and then I fell
I don’t know how long I’ll be holding on

So write a brand new page then write again 
I know your act is staged yet you pretend all while you’re turning tables with missing legs 

I think you’ve overstayed your welcome in so go the f--- away, don’t come again 
I’ll see your face in the fire, and burn it out

I don’t wanna know all your secrets because I’ll tell
It’s hard enough being alone with myself 
I don’t know how long I’ll be holding on 
I know you tried your hardest I know that you meant well,
but you pushed me to the edge and I slipped and then I fell
I don’t know how long I’ll be holding on

Like a villain, I couldn’t be
I didn’t need it, it needed me

Breaking Benjamin - Something Wicked

Breaking Benjamin - Something Wicked 

I can't pretend any longer
You slowly divide and conquer this way
I feel it becoming stronger
By light of dawn something wicked this way comes

And now I still know

I break, I crawl
And I lost it all
Yes I fake, I fall
And I can't go on
I don't care, I don't care if I care at all
I don't care, I don't care if I care at all

A castaway, an imposter
Pay for the sins of the father this way
Eyes like a ravenous monster
By light of dawn something wicked this way comes

And now I still know

I break, I crawl
And I lost it all
Yes I fake, I fall
And I can't go on
I don't care, I don't care if I care at all
I don't care, I don't care if I care at all

Your heaven's above
My hell is here
Bare the burden alone with no fear

I break, I crawl
And I lost it all
Yes I fake, I fall
And I can't go on
I don't care, I don't care if I care at all
I don't care, I don't care if I care at all
Something wicked this way comes

Something wicked this way comes
Our hell is here
Something wicked this way comes
Our hell is here
Something wicked this way comes
Our hell is here
Something wicked this way comes
Our hell is here

Scarlett Johansson - Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out of (Sing 2)

Scarlett Johansson - Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out of 

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
And carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, babe
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
Now you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
Now you can't get out of it
I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
And through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool
To worry like you do, oh
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
Now you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Soul Asylum - Black Gold

Soul Asylum - Black Gold 

Two boys on a playground
Trying to push each other down
See the crowd gather 'round
Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd

Black gold in a white plight
Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
I don't care 'bout no wheelchair
I've got so much left to do with my life

Moving backwards through time
Never learn, never mind
That side's yours, this side's mine
Brother, you ain't my kind

You're a black soldier, white fight
Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
Sure'd like to feel some pride
But this place just makes me feel sad inside

Mother, do you know where your kids are tonight?

[Sirens and commotion]

Keeps the kids off the streets
Gives them something to do, something to eat
This spot was a playground
This flat land used to be a town

Black gold in a white plight
Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
Sure'd like to feel some pride
But this place just makes me feel sad inside

Black gold in a white plight
Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
I don't care 'bout no wheelchair
I've got so much left to do with my life

 Saint Joe, he said he's never been
 Dressed up like a woman

 They have the darkness there in, in their eyes

Saint Joe, he said he's never been
 Made up like a woman

 When Mary never will return
 And Mary never will come back here

And Mary never will return

Wings     

Deep in the prison of the world, we are trapped without even knowing it
The walls—you can’t see them, only feel them constantly; they stand so close
You sense that something is tormenting you, because something is always missing—but what?
Deep in the dead of night, it wakes people up and keeps them awake
Chorus
And if I could, I’d fly away
With my wings made of concrete
And were it not for gravity
Then I would find you
Wherever you are now
And missing me in your own way
Verse
Deep in the prison of the world, I rebel without knowing why
Familiar faces in the light—I love them all, yet it changes nothing
No
Chorus
And if I could, I’d fly away
With my wings made of concrete
And were it not for gravity
Then I would find you
Wherever you are now
And missing me in your own way
Bridge
Oh, missing me
And never forgetting
Missing me so much, so much
Chorus
And if I could, I’d fly away
With my wings made of concrete
And were it not for gravity
Then I would find you
Wherever you are now
And missing me in your own way
But no one can fly away
For these are wings made of concrete
And were it not for gravity
Then I would find you
Wherever you are now
And missing me in your own way
Outro
And then I’d suddenly be standing there
You know, perhaps everything would be clear
In a new light
I don’t know
Wherever you are now
And wherever you are now

 

 Tief im Gefängnis der Welt sind wir gefangen und ahnen es nicht
Die Mauern, man kann sie nicht sehen, nur immer fühlen, sie stehen so dicht
Du merkst doch, dass irgendwas quält, weil immer irgendwas fehlt, aber was?
Tief in versunkener Nacht weckt es Leute und hält sie dann wach
chorus
Und wenn ich könnt, flög ich davon
Mit meinen Flügeln aus Beton
Und wär die Schwerkraft nicht
Dann fänd ich dich
Wo auch immer du jetzt bist
Und mich auf deine Art vermisst
verse
Tief im Gefängnis der Welt rebellier ich und weiß nicht wozu
Vertraute Gesichter im Licht, ich lieb sie alle, doch ändert das nichts
Nein
chorus
Und wenn ich könnt, flög ich davon
Mit meinen Flügeln aus Beton
Und wär die Schwerkraft nicht
Dann fänd ich dich
Wo auch immer du jetzt bist
Und mich auf deine Art vermisst
bridge
Oh, vermisst
Und nie vergisst
So sehr, so sehr vermisst
chorus
Und wenn ich könnt, flög ich davon
Mit meinen Flügeln aus Beton
Und wär die Schwerkraft nicht
Dann fänd ich dich
Wo auch immer du jetzt bist
Und mich auf deine Art vermisst
Aber niemand kann davon
Denn es sind Flügel aus Beton
Und wär die Schwerkraft nicht
Dann fänd ich dich
Wo auch immer du jetzt bist
Und mich auf deine Art vermisst
outro
Und dann stünd ich plötzlich da
Weißt du, vielleicht wär alles klar
Im neuen Licht
Ich weiß es nicht
Wo auch immer du jetzt bist
Und wo auch immer du jetzt bis

[Verse 1]
Just a small-town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

[Verse 2]
A singer in a smoky room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile, they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

[Pre-Chorus]
Strangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night

[Verse 3]
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time

[Verse 4]
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

[Pre-Chorus]
Strangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night

[Chorus]
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlights, people

If life is a joke
We'll laugh in the end
If life is a dream
We'll fly with our friends
If nobody knows
Who's gonna be next
You're still not alone
So don't give up yet

Don't give up yet
Don't give up yet

A king on a throne
Tyrannicus rex
Sends call up to war
And off with their heads
(Forget) If truth is a lie
(Yeah) Then nothing makes sense
(Yeah) So stand in the light
(Yeah) And don't give up yet

Don't give up yet
Don't give up yet

And nobody knows how this will all end
And nobody sees what's coming next, yeah
They take and they take until nothing is left
Don't fall for the fake, it's time to fight back

(Don't give up yet) So give what you get
(Don't give up yet) A million percent
(Don't give up yet) You're run by the thread
(Don't give up yet) And don't give up yet

(Don't give up yet) And nobody knows how this will all end
(Don't give up yet) And nobody sees what's coming next, yeah
(Don't give up yet) They take and they take until nothing is left
(Don't give up yet) Don't fall for the fake, it's time to fight back

Gavin DeGraw - Sweeter 

You
You don't know how lucky you are
Hanging with that girl on your arm
But soon enough I'm taking my shot

Bang!
Once I get 'em locked in my sight
Doesn't mean I wasn't alright
I'm just seeing something I like

Woo hoo

I just wanna take
Someone else's holiday
Sometimes the grass is greener
And someone else's sugar
Someone else's sugar
Sweeter

You
Went to school and found out you're dumb
Maybe you just had too much fun
Fell in love and think it's the one

You're like an angel
Got me feeling like a devil
And I wanna give you something if
You promise that you won't tell

Woo hoo

I just wanna take
Someone else's holiday
Sometimes the grass is greener
And someone else's sugar
Someone else's sugar
Sweeter

I'm a recommend
You take that body to the other end
I really like you but I can't be friends
Not with these hands of mine

I just wanna take
Someone else's holiday
Sometimes the grass is greener
And someone else's sugar
Someone else's sugar
Sweeter

I just wanna take
Someone else's holiday
Sometimes the grass is greener
And someone else's sugar
Someone else's sugar

Krezip - I Would Stay

 Krezip - I Would Stay

If this is true, I thought then, what will I think
Will I stay but rather I would get away
I'm scared that I won't find a thing
And afraid that I'll turn out to be alone, but I


I have to learn, have to try, have to trust I have to cry
Have to see, have to know that I can be myself


And if I could I would stay
And if they're not, not in my way
I'll stare here in the distance
But I'll grow up to be just like you, yeah
I'll grow up to be just like you, yeah


I see it all I'm sure but
Do I know what's right
I thought I knew but it turns out the other way
I am scared that I won't find a thing
And afraid that I'll turn out to be alone, but I


I have to learn, have to try, have to trust I have to cry
I have to see, have to know that I can be myself


And if I could I would stay
And if they're not, not in my way
I'll stare here in the distance
But I'll grow up to be just like you, yeah
I'll grow up to be just like you


I want to tell you
Why would I try to
You are all that I can see now
Why would I try to


And I want to tell you
Why would I try to
You are all I can see now
I know I'll try to


I have to learn, have to try, have to trust I have to cry
I have to see, have to know that I can be myself


But if I could, yeah, I would stay
And if they're not, not in my way
I'll stare here in the distance
But I'll grow up to be just like you, yeah
I'll grow up to be just like you, like you 

Lauv - Don't You Know

 Lauv - Don't You Know

i’ve been really trying my best to address you in a new way 
but it’s so damn hard for me to do that when i’m not sure
if you’re mine

you’re cold as hell 
to the touch
why are you waiting 
to gimme your love?
you’re strong enough
baby don’t you know that?

baby don't you know that?
baby don't you know that?

awkward silence and i’m frustrated wondering if you felt that
couldn’t be you couldn’t be me could it be that we’re both holding back?

you’re cold as hell 
to the touch
why are you waiting 
to gimme your love?
you’re strong enough
baby don’t you know that?

baby don't you know that?
baby don't you know that?

Silverchair - Too Much of Not Enough

 Silverchair - Too Much of Not Enough

She tripped on a hole
That I'd dug in the soil
To be part of a human garden

I couldn't stand
In the straight postured sun
But you stood in the mud

Which came unsoiled, when I came along
When I came along, when I came along
So you never stopped needin'
You never stopped needin'

A close look at somethin' so close
(Too much of not enough)
A close look at somethin' so close
(Too much of not enough)
When all we need is just a taste

I strap myself in
For a safe saccharide
Before it started I tried
To be anything I saw fit
And it all seemed to fit

But you came undone, when I came along
When I came along, when I came along
So you never stopped needin'
You never stopped needin'

A close look at somethin' so close
(Too much of not enough)
A close look at somethin' so close
(Too much of not enough)
All we need is just a taste

Blind white lies and shallow truth
Broken strings and stolen youth
I've seen too much of not enough

You came much closer than they had before
(Too much of not enough)
You came much closer than they had before
(Too much of not enough)
You came much closer than they had before

You never stopped needin'
You never stopped needin
You never stopped needin'
And it's good for nothin'

Sleep Theory - Bye Bye Bye (NSYNC cover)

Sleep Theory - Bye Bye Bye 

Hey, hey
Bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye
Bye, bye

I, I'm doin' this tonight
You're probably gonna start a fight
I know this can't be right
Hey, baby, come on
I loved you endlessly
And you weren't there for me
So now, it's time to leave
And make it alone

I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye (Bye, bye)

Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me, but it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye (Bye, bye)
Don't really wanna make it tough
I just wanna tell you that I had enough
Might sound crazy, but it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye

You just hit me with the truth
Now, girl, you're more than welcome to
So, give me one good reason
Baby, come on
I lived for you and me
And now, I really come to see
That life would be much better
Once you're gone

I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye (Bye, bye)

Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me, but it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye (Bye, bye)
Don't really wanna make it tough
I just wanna tell you that I had enough (Ooh, ooh)
Might sound crazy, but it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye

I'm givin' up, I know for sure
I don't wanna be the reason for your love, no more
(Bye, bye)
I'm checkin' out, I'm signin' off
I don't wanna be the loser and I've had enough

I don't wanna be your fool
In this game for two
So I'm leavin' you behind
(Bye, bye, bye, yeah)
I don't wanna make it tough
(Make it though)
But I've had enough (Bye, bye)
And it ain't no lie
Bye, bye (Baby)

Don't wanna be a fool for you (I don't wanna be a fool)
Just another player in your game for two (In this game for two)

I don't wanna be a fool, but it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye (Bye, bye)
Don't really wanna make it tough (Oh, oh)
(I don't wanna make it tough)
I just wanna tell you that I had enough

(But I've had enough)
Might sound crazy, but it ain't no lie

Bye, bye, bye (Bye, bye)

Marilyn Manson - God's Gonna Cut You Down (Johnny Cash)

Marilyn Manson - God's Gonna Cut You Down 

You can run on for a long time 
Run on for a long time 
Run on for a long time 
Sooner or later God'll cut you down 
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar 
Go and tell that midnight rider 
Tell the rambler, 
The gambler, 
The back biter 
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down 
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news 
My head's been wet with the midnight dew 
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee 
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet 
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet 
He called my name and my heart stood still 
When he said, "John go do My will!"

Go tell that long tongue liar 
Go and tell that midnight rider 
Tell the rambler, 
The gambler, 
The back biter 
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down 
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

You can run on for a long time 
Run on for a long time 
Run on for a long time 
Sooner or later God'll cut you down 
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand 
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man 
But as sure as God made black and white 
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time 
Run on for a long time 
Run on for a long time 
Sooner or later God'll cut you down 
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar 
Go and tell that midnight rider 
Tell the rambler, 
The gambler, 
The back biter 
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down 
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down 
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
