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

 Noah Kahan - Draw You Out

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Foo Fighters - Baker Street 

[Instrumental Intro]

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

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

[Instrumental Chorus]

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

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

[Instrumental Chorus]

Fuel - Falls On Me

 Fuel - Falls On Me

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

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

[Post-Chorus]
Hah-ah

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

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

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

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

[Outro]
Hah-ah-ah
Yeah, ah

  Machine Gun Kelly, X Ambassadors & Bebe Rexha - Home

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

Autumn Kings - Gone, Gone, Gone

 Autumn Kings - Gone, Gone, Gone

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

  Audioslave - Show Me How to Live

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

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

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

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

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

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

Durry - This Movie Sucks

 Durry - This Movie Sucks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Pre-Chorus]
Dopamine
More dopamine

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

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

[Pre-Chorus]
Dopamine
More dopamine

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

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

Revelation Chapter Five

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Revelation Chapter Five - KJV

Revelation Chapter Four

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                                        The irony is that we
                                                               attempt to
                                             DISOWN our DIFFICULT STORIES
                                                to appear more whole or more
                                                           ACCEPTABLE,

                                                --even our wholeheartedness--
                                             ACTUALLY DEPENDS ON THE 
                                                            integration of
                                            ALL OF OUR EXPERIENCES,

Chapter Three

OWNING OUR STORIES

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


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

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

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


            THE RISING STRONG PROCESS

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

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

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

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

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


                        INTEGRATING

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


                        INTEGRATION THROUGH CREATIVITY

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

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

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

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

The Broken View - Armor

The Broken View - Armor 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Paradox - It's Over

 The Paradox - It's Over

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

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

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

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

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

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

 Tommy J - STILL GOT THE BLUES

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

Dexter and The Moonrocks - Why Don't You Say So (feat. Avery Anna) 

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

 Modest Mouse - Ocean Breathes Salty

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

The Dead Poet Society - Psalm 136

 The Dead Poet Society - Psalm 136

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Megadeth - Truth Be Told

Megadeth - Truth Be Told 

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

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

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

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

[Solo - Mustaine]
[Solo - Mustaine]

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

[Solo - Mustaine]

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

[Solo - Mustaine]


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

[Solo - Mustaine]

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

[Solo - Mustaine]

Blue October - She's My Ride Home

Blue October - She's My Ride Home 

We talked
Together sharpening the knife
Like killing partners for a life
Hey we can hide the bodies on the ride home

Now here we are
We're licking skin to wipe us clean
Strike a match, pour gasoline
Ditch the scene and watch this city burn
Asleep, my life will be a pillow steering wheel turn

I'll be reaching for the stars with you (honey)
Who cares if no one else believes
So I, set fire to everyone around
But I told you
I told you
I told you

So ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha
Yeah we walk

We Drive
To leave the past and clear the mind
to watch the sunset set its time
I swear you'll find
I'm your ride home

Now close your eyes
it's getting dark and the highways clear
No sign of life from front to rear
Its just you my dear
On the ride home
We're going home

I'll be reaching for the stars with you (honey)
Who cares if no one else believes
So I, set fire to everyone around
But I told you
I told you
I told you

So ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha
Yeah we walk

We talked
Together sharpening a knife
Like killing partner for a life
Hey we can hide the bodies on the ride home
Cause we're going home

I'll be reaching for the stars with you (honey)
Who cares if no one else believes
So I, set fire to everyone around
But I told you
I told you
I told you

So ha ha ha ha (we walk)
ha ha ha ha (oh yeah we walk)
ha ha ha ha (we walk)
ha ha ha ha
Yeah we walk
Yeah we walk

twenty one pilots - The Contract

 twenty one pilots - The Contract 

I check the doors, check the windows, and pull the blinds,
I check the clock, wondering what he’ll pull this time,
I have a feeling that necromancer’s outside,
And I’m just trying to stay quiet.

I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that?
Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that,
Promises and contracts I used to keep,
I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that?
Keep myself up, that’s maybe how you know that,
My hallucination I used to see.

Wake up and I find out, did a change up,
Wait — Did it change up?
Is it light out yet?
Better find out. Bet,
Imma walk around the edge of the room,
And the bed where I hide my face,
Pace around,
Better try to breathe,
Pace around, Pace around.

(Sleep I found)
I wanna get out there,
But I don’t try,
I wanna get out there,
But I don’t try.

I used to see,
It felt so real,
But now I plead,
Just take the deal,
I promised you,
A contract.

I smile up to the sky, I know I'll be alright
The sun is on my side, and takes me for a ride
I smile up to the sky, I know I'll be alright
