1 IF ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection,
evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free:
but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind,
meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ
forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ, dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father
by him.
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice; as menpleasers; but in
singleness of heart, fearing God:
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

Verse 1 | 0:44
Put your borrowed weapons down
Show us your fist
You chiseled open the seventh seal
It's the reason I exist
I'm not just a cell
Lookin' for another prisoner
I got no story to tell
Laws are for cowards, but rules are for men

Every rule that you made

Bridge | 2:36

Brandi Carlile - The Story (on Later... with Jools Holland, 2008)
Brandi Carlile - The Story
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true... I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do and I was made for you
Pierce The Veil - Today I Saw the Whole World
Pierce The Veil - Today I Saw The Whole World
Baby, pour over
Tell me, are we concrete?
What would you do without my perfect company to your undressed spine?
And I can hear you drag behind my car by your broken legs
Swallowing stitches in her sleep
As she stole my only view, may I never blink
While you stood over the pavement
I was biting the curb
Cheap entertainment
But I'll bet it feels good coming down
Can't bear to wash out the wasted time
Between your lips and mine
Zero friends
Followed your voice into a sea of crosses
She blends in with the foxes gold and feels like home
Under the surface my love
But beware, beware, beware
And take it slow tonight
We're on the other side of the road
I think we're bleeding out
While you stood over the pavement
I was biting the curb
Sick entertainment
But I'll bet it feels good coming down
Can't bear to wash out the wasted time
Between our lips
So c'mon and swing it back and forth just like
My heart is on a pendulum tonight
If your lungs are mine
I only wanna watch your clouds linger in the darkness
Oh, can't you feel it
You're feeding on my restless soul
Oh, can't you see that
It's never enough, it's never enough
Today I saw the whole world
And I think heaven has a plot to take my life
Listen, I'm the one who made you
I'll be the one who brings you down
But this will be the last time
Bite on the curb
Sick entertainment
Oh, I'll bet it feels good when you're coming down
Can't bear to wash out the wasted time
Between our lips
So c'mon and swing it back and forth just like
My heart is on a pendulum tonight
If your lungs are mine
I only wanna watch your clouds linger in the darkness
Fivefold - Liar
Lighter look, better now
Reaching for a crown
Seen the world through the eyes of a monster
And you're a liar
Your soul on fire
(Tear off the mask now)
Tear off the mask now
We've seen behind and watch you die
You're foolin' no one
You self-proclaimed king
Of nothing
You're nothing
We've been waiting all our lives just to feel alive
And you cannot take it away
'Cause you've been hiding
You've been denying
Piece by piece and brick by brick
We've been building up the bridge
That will guide us all again
'Cause you're a liar
Your soul on fire
(Tear off the mask now)
Tear off the mask now
We've seen behind and watch you die
You're foolin' no one
You self-proclaimed king
Of nothing
You're nothing
When will the fighting end?
When will we make amends?
When will we wake up again
And take back what is ours?
Tear off the mask now
We've seen behind and watch you die
You're foolin' no one
You self-proclaimed king
Of nothing
Tear off the mask now
We've seen behind and watch you die
You're foolin' no one
You self-proclaimed king
You're nothing
Atlas Genius - Trojans (live at Guitar Center Sessions)
Take it off
Take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look
Hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song
make a note
for the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been
Your trojan's in my head
It's ok if it's gone
The thoughts that you had that it was the one
And oh what is left?
For all those times is that what you get?
Oh regardless
The walls get painted anyway
Oh you're guarding
The gates, but it all got away
Your trojan's in my head
Take it off
Take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look
Hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song
make a note
for the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been
Old Sea Brigade - Day by Day
Old Sea Brigade - Day by Day
Time and time again I think I’m falling through space and I wake up in my bed just sweating in sheets
Remembering my name but it don’t sound the same
Daylight come and save me from the 2am creeps
And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
Hold me up again or I can count on the wall
Just a temporary panic that I can’t seem to beat
Stranger in the mirror his smile makes me shiver
He wears my features and grinds my teeth
And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old
Darkness it comes and puts me in place
I’m a prisoner babe you know I can’t escape
Take all you want take all you can take
But the shadow of age is every step of the way
And it’s day by day it’s all I can take of it
And it’s day by day its all I can chase
Time and time again I think I’ve pulled it together but something’s so familiar that’s unraveling me
I’ll forget my name every evenings the same
Frozen on my back just praying for sleep
And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you as the night grows cold and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old
Villain of the Story - Peace of Mind
Villain of the Story - Peace of Mind
In the shade again
I've fallen right into the masquerade again
Can't for the life of me remember when
I got lost somewhere between now and then
I had a vision for something more
A fire inside me and I felt it to the core
So much of the world I wanted to explore
But I never made it five feet from my door
I'm done wasting away
No excuses there is nothing left to say
Finding a spark
Deep down in the dark
It's far from easy but I needed a brand new start
This is the only way that I will find
Something near to happiness in this life
I can't remember the last time that I had any peace of mind
I've fought for this
I've bled for this
There is no turning back now
And finally I'm able to see
The place I'm meant to be
I was fixated on the expectations
Of everyone around I was so frustrated
I became addicted to always overthinking
Everything I did
I had nothing to give
I started disappointing everyone
Letting down all the ones that I love
This road is covered in ice
And paved with sacrifice
I gave it all away and I paid the price
This is the only way that I will find
Something near to happiness in this life
I can't remember the last time that I had any peace of mind
I've fought for this
I've bled for this
There is no turning back now
And finally I'm able to see
The place I'm meant to be
I'm done wasting away
I'm done wasting away
This is the only way that I will find
Something near to happiness in this life
I can't remember the last time that I had any peace of mind
I've fought for this
I've bled for this
There is no turning back now
And finally I'm able to see
The place I'm meant to be
I'm done wasting away

Chance Peña - The Voyager
[Verse 1]
Revolve 180 'til the tables turn
Let me be in my home, let me have what I've earned
Can't I partake in what I deserve?
Bookshelf like walls of the universe
I don't know what is real, only know what I've heard
It's a pretense I have of this earth
[Chorus]
Sidestep, make way for the voyager
He's been looking around, tryna prove all his worth
Spent a long time digging through the dirt
Lightspeed, light-years wеll ahead of us
He knows something wе don't, and that's what he prefers
Couldn't handle the truth at its worst
[Post-Chorus]
Hey
[Verse 2]
It's nothin' real that he's running from
Still, he left what he loved 'cause he had to run
And he tries not to beg about it, oh well, oh well
It's at night when he comes undone
'Cause everything reminds him that he's all alone
And it's hard not to think about it, oh well, oh well
[Pre-Chorus]
He fell from the light
Spend a long time down in the depths of his mind
Oh, hoping to find, why
He's caught in his ways
You can tell he's lost by the look in his eyes
[Chorus]
So, sidestep, make way for the voyager
He's been looking around, tryna prove all his worth
Spent a long time digging through the dirt
Lightspeed, light-years well ahead of us
He knows something we don't, and that's what he prefers
Couldn't handle the truth at its worst
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, ah, hey, hey
Hey, hey, ah-ah-ey
[Bridge]
'Cause you will find out you're more alive if you feel loved
And let longing die
You'll find out there's more in time
This is life
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey, oh-oh
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
[Outro]
Revolve 180 'til the tables turn
Let me be in my home, let me have what I've earned
Can't I partake in what I deserve?

Keith Urban - God Whispered Your Name
[Verse 1]
I was so cold and lost
And nothing seemed to ring true
I couldn't bear the cross
For everything I'd been through
And each day, I knew I needed change
But there was no way, no way
[Pre-Chorus]
And then God whispered your name
And that's when everything changed
And love came out of the rain
And talk about being saved
[Chorus]
Suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name
[Verse 2]
I can see the sunshine
For the first time in a while
Girl, it's like I've been baptized
By the warmth of your smile, hmm
Well, call it fate or faith or call it crazy either way
It's amazin', amazin' grace
[Pre-Chorus]
When God whispered your name
That's when everything changed
Love came out of the rain
Talk about being saved
[Chorus]
Well, suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name
[Bridge]
It's just what I needed to hear, baby
It couldn't have been more loud and clear
[Pre-Chorus]
When God whispered your name
That's when everything changed
Love came out of the rain (Out of the rain)
And talk about being saved
[Chorus]
Oh, suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name, oh yeah
[Outro]
(Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah)
Ooh, Hallelujah, baby
(Hallelujah) Oh, yeah, (Hallelujah) Hmm-hmm
(Hallelujah) Ooh yeah
I can see the sunlight shinin' through your pretty eyes, baby
(Hallelujah) Woo, hmm, (Hallelujah)
I like a man who leaves, time feels like Hell
(Hallelujah)
Got my hands up high, I got my hands up to the sky
(Hallelujah) Ooh, I'm sayin' thank you
(Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah)
Strays Don't Sleep - For Blue Skies
Strays Don't Sleep - For Blue Skies
It's been a long year
Since we last spoke
How's your halo?
Just between you and I
You and me and the satellites
I never believed you
I only wanted to
Before all of this
What did I miss?
Do you ever get homesick?
I can't get used to it
I can't get used to it
I'll never get used to it
I'll never get used to it
I'm under that night
I'm under those same stars
We're in a red car
You asleep at my side
Going in and out of the headlights
Could I have saved you?
Would that have betrayed you?
I want to burn this film
You alone with those pills
What you couldn't do I will
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
For blue, blue skies
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you

[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Loving you was easy, playing by the rules
But you said love tastes so much better when it's cruel
To you everything was just a game
And oh yeah, you played me good
But I want you, I want you, I want you
So much more than I should, (yes I do)
[Chorus]
I've got my hands up, so take your aim, yeah, I'm ready
There's nothing that we can't go through
Oh, it hit me like a steel freight train when you left me
And nothing ever hurt like you, nothing ever hurt like you
[Verse 2]
I was naïve and wide-eyed, but you made me see
That you don't get to taste the honey
Without the sting of a bee, (no, you don't)
Oh yes, you stung me good, oh yeah, you dug in deep
But I'll take it, I'll take it, I'll take it
Till I'm down on my knees, (on my knees)
[Chorus]
Oh, I've got my hands up, so take your aim, yeah, I'm ready
There ain't nothing that I won't do
Walk a thousand miles on broken glass
It won't stop me from making my way back to you
It's not real until you feel pain
And nothing ever hurt like you, nothing ever hurt like you
Oh, nothing hurt like you, (you got to believe me, alright)
Oh, everything was just a game, yes, you played me good
But I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
[Chorus]
Oh, I've got my hands up, so take your aim, yes, I'm ready
There ain't nothing that we can't go through
Oh, it hit me like a hurricane when you left me
But I'd do it all again for you
I'll walk a thousand miles on broken glass
It won't stop me from making my way back to you
Its not real until you feel the pain
And nothing ever hurt like you, nothing ever hurt like you
[Outro]
Nothing in the whole wide world
Nothing ever, nothing ever, (nothing ever)
Nothing ever hurt like you, (like you
Like you, like you) hurt like you
Will ever, will never hurt like you, you, you, you
Nothing ever hurt like you
Volumia! - Afscheid
English translation
Always together, my arms around you
My greatest love, that I really knew right away
The very last week, the days went fast
Gets close to departure, it is difficult
Say you do not have to go treasure
You really had enough of me
Say you do not have to go treasure
Go baby, because you need, I need to know
If at all possible then
I stayed one night with you
If at all possible then
I stayed one night with you
I would say that I will be waiting
And the future for our laughs
I would say for the umpteenth time
I want no other ever
The bags are already out, the tailgate closed stores
One last long kiss in the early morning light
You look at me sweetly and grabs me tightly
I whisper in your ear, I will not forget
Say you do not have to go treasure
You really had enough of me
Say you do not have to go treasure
Go baby, because you need, I need to know
If at all possible then
I stayed one night with you
If at all possible then
I stayed one night with you
I would say that I will be waiting
And the future for our laughs
I would say for the umpteenth time
I want no other ever
Never again will I feel what I feel for you
Never again will I feel what I feel for you
So go now, and wipe your tears away
And remember very well that I love you, love you
No, no, no, you do not go baby, no
Ooh, no, no, no, you do not go baby, no, no
Jeremy Camp - Christ in Me
In this obsession with
The things this world says make us happy
Can’t see the slaves we are
In all the searching, all the grasping
Like we deserve much more
Than all these blessings we’re holding
So now I’m running free
Into an ocean of mercy, unending
So come and empty me
So that it’s You I breathe
I want my life to be
Only Christ in me
So I will fix my eyes
‘Cause You’re my source of life
I need the world to see
That it’s Christ in me, yeah
That it’s Christ in me, yeah
Done with what holds me down
The things I once was chasing after
Throw off these heavy chains
That I have let become my master
So now I’m running free
Into an ocean of mercy, unending

Metallica - Master of Puppets (Live in Cardiff, Wales - June 28, 2026)
End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your deaths' construction
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master
Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master
Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Master, master, where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, master, you promised only lies
Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries
Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master
Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream

"Streams in the Desert" written by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman - a book of daily devotionals originally published in 1925
"Streams in the Desert"
February 10th
"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves." (Romans 12:19)
THERE are seasons when to be STILL demands immeasurably higher strength than to act. Composure is often the highest result of power. To the vilest and most deadly charges Jesus responded with deep, unbroken silence, such as excited the wonder
of the judge and the spectators. To the grossest insults, the most violent ill-treatment and mockery that might well bring
indignation to the feeblest heart, He responded with voiceless complacent calmness. Those who are unjustly accused, and
causelessly ill-treated know what tremendous strength is necessary to keep silence to God.
"Men may misjudge thy aim,
Think they have cause to blame,
Say, thou art wrong;
Keep on thy quiet way,
Christ is the Judge, not they,
Fear not, be strong."
St. Paul said, "None of these things move me."
He did not say, none of these things HURT me. It is one thing to be hurt, and quite another to be moved. St. Paul
had a very tender heart. We do not read of any apostle who cried as St. Paul did. It takes a strong man to cry. Jesus
wept, and He was the manliest Man that ever lived. So it does not say, none of these things hurt me. But the apostle had
determined not to move from what he believed was right. He did not count as we are apt to count; he did not care for
ease; he did not care for this mortal life. He cared for only one thing, and that was to be loyal to Christ, to have His smile.
To St. Paul, more than to any other man, His work was wages, His smile as Heaven. ---Margaret Bottome.
Colossians Chapter Two
1 FOR I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have
not seen my face in the flesh;
2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of
understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the
stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the rudiments of the world, and not
after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of sins
of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God,
who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him,
having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out
of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon,
or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into
those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered,
and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world,
are ye subject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body;
not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

ROLE MODEL - Writing's On The Wall
Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
Head out the window
Sweat on the pillow
It's been keeping me up at night
Guess this is what love feels like all right
Seems like your shoulder
Keeps getting colder
But babe I was raised in the cold
Wish I could do what I'm told
Oh, now
Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
Son of a gun but I know that he’s right
Cause the girl that I loved never treated me nice
Writing’s on the wall I pretend I can’t read
You’re forgetting me
Losing my patience
Confusing the waitress
And asking her way too much
Like why am I still in love?
With somebody who leaves me
Way too easy
She said honey you’ll be alright
But she gets paid to be nice
Oh hell
Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
Son of a gun but I know that he’s right
Cause the girl that I loved never treated me nice
Writing’s on the wall I pretend I can’t read
You’re forgetting me
Ooh you’re forgetting me
Ooh you’re forgetting me
Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
Ooh you’re forgetting me
Son of a gun but I know that he’s right
Cause the girl that I loved never treated me nice
Writing’s on the wall I pretend I can’t read
You’re forgetting me

They Wanted Me to Be a Bisexual R&B Artist... So I Walked Away
For years, people have asked me the same question:
"Why did you leave the music industry?"
After years of staying quiet, I'm finally telling the full story.......
Fivefold - Till Death (Live at Delmar Hall 3/25/2017)
Looking back upon the path and I
I can't believe my eyes
The boy that I was and the man that I've become
Breaking through some memory
I still recall the scene
From across the room like something right out of a dream
And now I sit here trying to find the
Words to show you my love
But they don't come, they just stay locked up in my head
So I will vow until the day
This body fades away
To hold you high and
I'll sing
When the winter comes
I'll scream your name
Don't be afraid of what's beneath
When the reaper calls
I'll hold you tight and I'll scream
"Don't you take her away from me
Don't you take her away"
I lived my life a vagabond
The path that I was on (the path that I was on)
Better to leave than leaving broken in the end
But like a moth into the flame
Your fire burned away (your fire burned away)
All of the fear that I held deep inside my heart
And though I lack in every way
You still decided to stay (you still decided to stay)
Dared to look inside and see me for who I am
So I will vow until the day
This body fades away
To hold you high and
I'll sing
When the winter comes
I'll scream your name
Don't be afraid of what's beneath
When the reaper calls
I'll hold you tight and I'll scream
"Don't you take her away from me
Don't you take her away"
And I'll see the face of my desire
Don't let it burn away
A small spark that grew into a fire
Don't let it burn away
When the winter comes
I'll scream your name
Don't be afraid of what's beneath
When the reaper calls
I'll hold you tight and I'll scream
"Don't you take her away from me
Don't you take her away"
And I'll see the face of my desire
Don't let it burn away
A small spark that grew into a fire
Don't let it burn away
Away
The Killers - My Own Soul's Warning
The Killers - My Own Soul's Warning
I tried going against my own soul’s warning
But in the end, something just didn’t feel right
Oh I tried diving even though the sky was storming
And I just wanted to get back to where you are
If you could see through the banner of the sun
Into eternity’s eyes
Like a vision reaching down to you
Would you turn away?
What if it knew you by your name?
What kind of words would cut
Through the clutter of the whirlwinds of these days?
I tried going against my own soul’s warning
But in the end, something just didn’t feel right
Oh I tried diving, even though the sky was storming
Thunderheads were forming
But man I thought I could fly
And when I hit the ground
It made a messed up sound
And it kept on rattling through my days
And cutting up my nights
Like a g--damned knife
And it got me thinking, no matter how far
I just wanted to get back to where you are
I tried going against my own soul’s warning
But in the end, something just didn’t feel right
Oh I tried running from the memory and the mourning
But the penalty kept on pouring
And now I think I know why
Cause when I hit the ground
It made a messed up sound
And it kept on rattling through my days
And cutting up my nights
Like a g--damned knife
And it got me thinking, no matter how far
I just wanted to get back to where you are

They say misery loves company
We could start a company and make misery
[Refrain]
Frustrated Incorporated
[Bridge]
Well I know just what you need
I might just have the thing
I know what you'd pay to see
[Chorus]
Put me out of my misery
I'd do it for you, would you do it for me
We will always be busy making misery
[Verse 2]
We could build a factory and make misery
We'll create the cure; we made the disease
[Refrain]

All you suicide kings and you drama queens
Forever after happily, making misery

[Verse 3]
Did you satisfy your greed, get what you need
Was it only envy, so empty

Djo - Basic Being Basic (live for Like A Version)
Djo - Basic Being Basic
[Verse 1]
Get food, barely eat
Every bite just kept me glued to my seat
I worried, even cried
How'd it feel to take the light from my life?
Bad habit, even worse
Fifty-fifty, I’m a sucker for looks
Asked for it, here it is
A quick example 'cause you wanted the hits
[Chorus]
I think you're scared of being basic
That’s ironic 'cause it's reading like you're even more basic
It's not funny, it's so funny
'Cause you're basic
Just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated nothingness
Won’t change it
(Good luck with that, good luck with what?)
It’s not funny, but it's so funny
[Verse 2]
I don’t want your money, I don't care for fame
I don't wanna live a life where that's my big exchange
I want simple pleasures, friends who have my back
Everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that
It sent me reeling, still not the same
It’s like my capacity to love and give has changed
I guess I'll thank you and spite your name again
The past's the past, and I'll outlast the hate to find real love that's not pretend
[Chorus]
How basic (Sell me on it)
Shuffle numbers, pointing fingers, ditching chats in different apps
That's basic (Haha)
It's not funny, it's so funny
That's just basic being basic (Basically)
You said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls
I guess I'll take it
Yeah, that's funny, you're so funny (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
[Bridge]
Change your body, change your face, curl your hair then make it straight
Take a picture of your plate, Tarantino movie taste
Rah-rah, cheugy-phobe, Vera Bradley's back in Vogue
It's a flash photograph
[Outro]
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
What an empty epitaph (That's just basic being basic)
Yeah, my tight five might get a laugh as is
If that's funny, I'm not funny
