A Day To Remember - You Should've Killed Me When You Had The Chance

A Day To Remember - You Should've Killed Me When You Had The Chance 

So I say goodbye to a town that has ears and eyes
I can hear you whispering as I walk by
Familiar faces smiling back at me and I knew
This would make them change

The only thing that's going to bother me
Is that you'll all call yourselves my friends

Why can't you look me in the eyes one last time?

The writings on the wall, you've read that I'll be gone, but if you call my name
Just know that I'll come running, for one more night to spare with you
This is where I'm meant to be, please don't leave me

I've read these stories a thousand times, and now I'll rewrite them all
You're meddling in an anger you can't control
She means the world to me, so hold your serpent tongue
Is a whores lies worth dying for? I'll just take my time

The only thing that's going to bother me
Is that you'll all call yourselves my friends

Why can't you look me in the eyes one last time?

The writings on the wall, you've read that I'll be gone, but if you call my name
Just know that I'll come running, for one more night to spare with you
This is where I'm meant to be, please don't leave me

I walked into your house this morning
I brought the gun from our end table
Your blood was strewn across the walls
They'll find you on your bathroom floor

I walked into your house this morning
I brought the gun from our end table
Your blood was strewn across the walls
They'll find you on your bathroom floor
When I'm done

But should I write it all off?
But should I write it all off?

You should have killed me when you had the chance
You should have killed me when you had the chance
You should have killed me when you had the chance
You should have killed me when you had the chance

The Killers - American Girl (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers) Rock Hall induction 2018

 The Killers - American Girl 

Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life somewhere else
After all, it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night (Make it last all night)
She was an American girl

Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony (Ooh)
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God, it's so painful when something that is so close
Is still so far out of reach

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night (Make it last all night)
She was an American girl (Ooh) 

The Killers - The Land of the Free

 The Killers - The Land of the Free

[Verse 1: Brandon Flowers & Choir]
Can't wipe the wind-blown smile from across my face
It's just the old man in me
Washing his truck at the Sinclair station
In the land of the free (Ooh)
His mother, Adeline's family, came on a ship
Cut coal and planted a seed
Down in them drift mines of Pennsylvania
In the land of the free

[Chorus: Choir & Brandon Flowers]
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
(I'm standing crying)

[Verse 2: Brandon Flowers & Choir]
When I go out in my car, I don't think twice
But if you're the wrong color skin (I'm standing, crying)
You grow up looking over both your shoulders
In the land of the free
And we got more people locked up than the rest of the world
Right here in red, white and blue (I'm standing, crying)
Incarceration's become big business
It's harvest time out on the avenue

[Chorus: Choir & Brandon Flowers]
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Move on there's nothing to see
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free

[Bridge: Brandon Flowers & Choir]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm standing crying (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm standing crying (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
So how many daughters, tell me, how many sons
Do we have to have to put in the ground
Before we just break down and face it:
We got a problem with guns? (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
In the land of the free
Down at the border, they're gonna put up a wall
Concrete and Rebar Steel beams (I'm standing crying)
High enough to keep all those filthy hands off
Of our hopes and our dreams (I'm standing crying)
People who just want the same things we do
In the land of the free

[Chorus: Choir & Brandon Flowers]
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free (I'm standing crying)

The Devil Wears Prada - That Same Place Where The Flowers Never Grow (a film by Wyatt Clough)

 The Devil Wears Prada - That Same Place Where The Flowers Never Grow 

I'm good at getting lost
Counting all the leaves
'Cause I can't see the trees through the forest
The grass was never green
Why can't we agree to ignore that?
Ignore that

Will tomorrow ever come?
Thought that we were having fun
But haven't seen the sun in days
Whatever happened in between
Why can't we agree to ignore that?

I've been wrong, but I'll pay for this
Yeah, something's off, I'll admit

It felt like a dream but now it's over
The best of me has found some closure
Run it back inside my head
Been a week since I said
Goodbye to who I used to be
I hate what this did to me
I fall back on what I know
That same place where the flowers never grow
Where the flowers never grow

I'm barely hangin' on
Kept in the darkness
Maybe that's a symptom of it (Symptom of it)
I distort reality
Why can't we agree to ignore that?

I've been wrong, but I'll pay for this
Yeah, something's off, I'll admit
I'll admit

I've been wrong, but I'll pay for this
Something's off, I'll admit

It felt like a dream but now it's over
The best of me has found some closure
Run it back inside my head
Been a week since I said
Goodbye to who I used to be
I hate what this did to me
I fall back on what I know
That same place where the flowers never grow
That same place where the flowers never grow

Goodbye to who I used to be
Something's fucking wrong with me
I fall back on what I know
That same place where the flowers never grow

I fall back on what I know
That same place where the flowers never grow
Flowers never grow

Hoobastank - Crawling in the Dark

 Hoobastank - Crawling in the Dark

[Verse 1]
I will dedicate and sacrifice my every
Thing for just a second's worth of how my story's ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing

[Chorus]
Show me what it's for, make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

[Verse 2]
Help me carry on, assure me it's okay to
Use my heart and not my eyes to navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?

[Chorus]
Show me what it's for, make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

[Rap]
So when and how will I know?

[Bridge]
How much further do I have to go?
And how much longer 'til I finally know?
`Cause I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
In front of me

[Chorus]
Show me what it's for, make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

 Reel Big Fish - Sell Out

Well, I know you can't work in fast food all your life
But don't sign that paper tonight, she said, but it's too late.

Yeah I don't remember what I read, I don't remember what they said,
I guess it doesn't matter, I guess it doesn't matter anymore
'Cause you're gonna go to the record store
You're gonna give'em all your money
Radio plays what they want you to hear
They tell me it's cool but I just don't believe it...
Sell out, with me oh yeah, sell out, with me tonight
The record company's gonna give me lots of money
And everything's gonna be all right

No more flippin' burgers puttin' on my silly hat
You know I don't want that no more,

I guess it doesn't matter, I guess it doesn't matter anymore
'Cause you're gonna go to the record store,
You're gonna give'em all your money,

The record company's gonna give me lots of money
And everything's gonna be

And I don't think it'll be so bad
And I know it won't be so bad
'Cause the man said "that's the way it is"
And the man said "it don't get better than this" no no no
So I signed on to the record company,
They say they're gonna give me lot's of money
If I play what they want you to hear
They tell me it's cool, and I sure believe it...

Paul Rudd - How to Write a Song Without You (from Power Ballad)

Paul Rudd - How to Write a Song Without You 

[Verse 1]
If I was losing you
If we were losing us
The silence would be so loud
There'd be no words to write
And even if I tried
I couldn't get the sound out
I never want to find out

[Chorus]
How to write a song without you
How to write a song without you
How to write a song without you
When every song I ever wrote in my life is about you

[Verse 2]
We're both in for a ride
So hold on to me tight
It's out of our control now
And even when it's rough
When all the wheels come off
I never want to slow down
'Cause I don't think I'd know how

[Chorus]
How to write a song without you
How to writе a song without you
How to write a song without you
When evеry song I ever wrote in my life is about you

 [Bridge]
This could be the song that saves me
Or this could be my albatross
But this is all I've got

[Pre-Chorus]
How to write? You never did tell me
How to write? You never did help me
How to write? You never did show me how, oh
How to write? You never did tell me
How to write? You never did help me
How to write? You never did show me how

[Chorus]
How to write a song without you
How to write a song without you, yeah
How to write a song without you

how to write a song, how to write a song, how to write a song


[Outro]
When every song I ever wrote in my life is about you

Dropkick Murphys - The Body of an American (Pogues)

 Dropkick Murphys - The Body of an American

The Cadillac stood by the house
And the Yanks, they were within
And the tinker boys, they hissed advice
'Hot-wire with her a pin'
Then we turned and shook as we had a look
In the room where the dead man lay
So big Jim Dwyer made his last trip
To the shores where his fathers lay

And fifteen minutes later
We had our first taste of whiskey
There was uncles giving lectures
On ancient Irish history
The men all started telling jokes
And the women, they got frisky
By five o'clock in the evening
Every bastard there was piskey

Fare thee well, gone away
There's nothing left to say
Farewell to New York City, boys
To Boston and PA
He took them out with a well-aimed clout
And they often heard him say
"I'm a freeborn man of the USA"

He fought the champ in Pittsburgh
And he slashed him to the ground
He took on Tiny Tartanella
And it only went one round
He never had no time for dice
No drinks no red no whores
But he never threw a fight when a fight was right
So they sent him to the war

Fare thee well, gone away
There's nothing left to say
With a sláinte Joe and Erin go
My love's in Amerikay
The calling of the rosary
Spanish wine from far away
"I'm a freeborn man of the USA"

This morning on the harbour
When I said goodbye to you
I remembered how I swore
That I'd come back to you one day
And as the sunset came
To meet the evening on the hill
I told you I'd always love you
I always did, I always will

Fare thee well, gone away
There's nothing left to say
But to bid adieu to your eyes as blue
As the water in the bay
To big Jim Dwyer, the man of wire
Who was often heard to say
"I'm a freeborn man of the USA"

I'm a freeborn man of the USA
I'm a freeborn man of the USA

Rise Against - From Heads Unworthy

 Rise Against - From Heads Unworthy

We are the children you reject and disregard
These aching cries come from the bottom of our hearts
You can't disown us now, we are your own flesh and blood
And we don't disappear just because your eyes are shut, now tell me
Love, loss
Like a bullet's path
Tear through
The cavity of my chest
Lights out
Because the fuse has blown
As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
Their crown slips from heads unworthy
As we gain control
This is the family that we crossed or never had
This is a war that was lost the day it began
'Cause it's the race we run, but it keeps us at the start
And it's the song I sung from the bottom of my heart, that's how we
Read you
Like a polygraph
Not one
Single bone in your back
Own up
To how you let us down
As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
Their crown slips from heads unworthy
As we gain control
Except for you and me, love
Everyone's the same, we know, we know, we know, we know
But if to live, we have to be numb
I'd rather know the pain, I'd rather know, I'd rather know
This happens almost never
But it happened once to me
And this will never be the same
The ends we seam together
I'm not after fame and fortune
I'm after you
When I've served my time I swear I
Will come back for you
As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
Their crown slips from heads unworthy
And right onto us
But, I'm after you
I'm after you
I'm after you
Yeah, I'm after you.

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

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

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

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

Marcy Playground - St. Joe on the School Bus

 Marcy Playground - St. Joe on the School Bus

 Saint Joe, he said he's never been
 Dressed up like a woman
 Saint Joe, they said your dad was gay
 They said your mom, she's a whore
 They said it 'til you were raw

And they said your mom she's a bore
 They made her beg them for more
 O' my aunt Mary, aunt Mary, aunt Mary says
 They have the darkness there in, in their eyes

Saint Joe, he said he's never been
 Made up like a woman
 Saint Joe, the time is coming when
 When Mary never will return
 And Mary never will come back here

And Mary never will return
 O' Mary please, come home
 O' my aunt Mary, aunt Mary, aunt Mary says
 They have the darkness there in their eyes

O' my aunt Mary, aunt Mary, aunt Mary says
 They have the darkness there
 They have the family disease
 They have the darkness there in their minds
