Seven sins of wantonness and
Everything that's good is gone
Sell it for the glory from the peers
Silicone priestess scratch the back and
Twists the knife to bone
Kick against the pricks and scrape the shins
I'm the enemy in the enemies now
Swallowed the pill
And drank to the fill
All these things I carry now
In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now
Try to hold the world there sinking
Swimming in a paper cup
Try to own the one beneath the skin
Held up to the flame still singing
Skin begins to draw and tuck
Never told there's not a chance to win
What couldn't be, wouldn't be now
Swallowed the pill
And drank to the fill
All these things I carry now
In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now
Bittersweet
Love is bittersweet
Hold your hands up to the sky and try
So hard to rise above
But everything is beating down
Swallowed the pill
And drank to the fill
All these things I carry now
In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now
Swallowed the pill
And drank to the fill
All these things I carry now
In this bittersweet
In this bittersweet
In this bittersweet, now

I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - Leave Me Alone

Now I want you to leave me alone
They say the devil that you know is better than the devil that you don't
Oh, you're a big shot here but nobody else knows
Now I want you to leave me alone
Blind spot, take your best shot, lucky me

They say the devil that you know is better than the devil that you don't
Oh, you're a big shot here but nobody else knows
Now I want you to leave me alone
Four in the morning but we're having such a lovely time
Mad as a hatter with a dagger and a dollar sign
Aristocrat, tip your hat and break your mother's heart
And when the sun comes up you'll find a brand new god
(Hey, come on)
(A brand new god)
(Oh, oh)
Now I want you to leave me alone
They say the devil that you know is better than the devil that you don't

Jonah Chapter Two
1 THEN Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I,
and thou heardest my voice.
3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy
billows and thy waves passed over me.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped
about my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou
brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Jonah Chapter Two - KJV
First Peter Chapter Two
1 WHEREFORE laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious:
and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the
builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient:
whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew
forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but
now have obtained mercy.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the souls;
12 Having our conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may
by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man, for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14 Or to governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them
that do well.
15 For so the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well,
and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should
follow his steps:
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself
to him that judgeth righteously:
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

[Intro]
Five, four, three, two, one, ah!
[Verse 1]
You were a child crawling on your knees toward it
Making mama so proud, but your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
You pick the insects off plants, no time to think of consequences
[Chorus]
Control yourself, take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself, take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
[Verse 2]
The water is warm, but it's sending me shivers
A baby is born crying out for attention
The memories fade like looking through a fogged mirror
Decision to decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot, I guess not
[Chorus]
Control yourself, take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself, take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Control yourself, take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself, take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself, take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself, take only what you need from it
A family of trees
Titus Chapter Two
1 BUT speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given
to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children.
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not
blasphemed.
6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having
no evil thing to say of you.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this
present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people,
zealous of good works.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

I know you think I got it all figured out 'cus
I walk around like my head's in the clouds but
I'm just a boy with his heart pourin' out of his head
I wish that you could see the pain that I've seen and
All of the times I spent being not me
I hope you know that it's not always happy in my head
'Cus I don't know
The perfect road to go down
but I know

I'm trying my best to be okay
I'm trying my best but every day it's so hard
And I'm holding my breath
I'm holding my breath 'til I can say
All of the words I wanna say
From my heart
If you really wanted I could let you inside
It's been so long and I've got nothing left to hide
Would you believe me if I told you that I've got flaws
Now it's time to let the curtains unfold
And tell all the stories that I didn't want told
I let it out so I unburden my soul I won't stop
'Cus I don't know

I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
Ooh, oh, oh, I'll keep you like an oath
May nothing but death do us apart
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
Bury me 'til I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
And I can't get you out of my head
The stench, the stench of summer sex
And CK Eternity – oh Hell yes
Divide me down to the smallest I can be
Put your, put your v-v-v-venom in me
I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
Ooh, oh, oh, I'll keep you like an oath
May nothing but death do us apart

And I can't get you out of my head
The blood, the blood, the blood of the lamb
Is worth two lions but here I am
And I slept in last night's clothes and tomorrow's dreams
But they're not quite what they seem
I can move mountains

And may death find you alive
Take me down the line

First Thessalonians Chapter Two
1 FOR yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were
bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men,
but God, which trieth our hears.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know. nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness:
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome,
as the apostles of Christ.
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only,
but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be
chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you
that believe:
11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye
heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually
worketh also in you that believe.
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye
also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews.
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not
God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath
is come upon them to the uttermost.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more
abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again: but Satan hindered us.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ
at his coming?
20 For ye are our glory and joy.
First Thessalonians Chapter Two - KJV
Zephaniah Chapter Two
1 GATHER yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;
2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD
come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.
3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness:
it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day,
and Ekron shall be rooted up.
5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against
you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupn: in the houses
of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them and turn away
their captivity.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have
reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
9 Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Soddom, and the
children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation:
the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
10 This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against
the people of the LORD of hosts.
11 The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship
him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.
12 Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a
desolation, and dry like wilderness.
14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the bests of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern
shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the
thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work.
15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me:
how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss,
and wave his hand.

Mayday Parade - If You Wanted A Song Written About You, All You Had To Do Was Ask
Mayday Parade - If You Wanted A Song Written About You, All You Had To Do Was Ask
I'm throwing away pictures
That I never should have taken in the first place
And it's cold in my apartment,
As I'm changing all the colors from the brightest reds to grays
Well it's 3 o'clock on Monday morning
I'm just hoping you're not seeing his face
I've been getting calls in these hotel rooms
Long enough to know that it was him that took my place
And I hope this makes you happy now
That the flame we had is burning out,
And I hope you like your pictures facing down,
As even broken hearts may have their doubts
And I'm burning all the letters
Hoping that I might forget her and the bad taste
That she left as she was leaving me
A life of barely breathing as she walked out of this place
And you dropped a note and we changed key
You changed yourself and I changed me
I really didn't see us singing through this
Then you screamed the bridge
And I cried the verse
And our chorus came out unrehearsed
And you smiled the whole way through it
I guess maybe that's what's worse
And I hope this makes you happy now
That the flame we had is burning out
And I hope you like your pictures facing down
As even broken hearts may have their doubts
And I'm taking all your memories off the shelf
And I don't need you or anybody else
So take a look at me, see what you want to see
When you get home
Take me home
I'd rather die than be with you
Take me home
You had a problem with the truth
Take me home
Because this happens every time
I knew it would...
I knew it would...
Take me home
I'd rather die than be with you
Take me home
You had a problem with the truth
Take me home
Because this happens every time
And I knew it would...
I knew it would...
And I hope this makes you happy now
That the flame we had is burning out
And I hope you like your pictures facing down
As even broken hearts may have their doubts
And I'm taking all your memories off the shelf
And I don't need you or anybody else
So take a look at me
See what you want to see
When you get home
Jonah Chapter One
1 NOW the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he
found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto
Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
4 But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest is the sea, so that the ship
was like to be broken.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the
ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay,
and was fast asleep.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God,
if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil
is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
8 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation?
and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
9 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD the God of heaven, which hath made the sea
and the dry land.
10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that
he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
11 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought,
and was tempestuous.
12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know
that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was
tempestuous against them.
14 Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for
this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee.
15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days
and three nights.
Jonah Chapter One - KJV
First Peter Chapter One
1 PETER, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia,
and Bithynia,
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience
and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath
begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold
temptation:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire,
might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy
unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that
should come unto you:
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified
beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now
reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven;
which things the angels desire to look into.
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto
you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time
of your sojourning here in fear;
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain
conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith
and hope might be in God.
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren,
see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower
thereof falleth away:
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Max McNown - Heart You Didn't Break
Max McNown - Heart You Didn't Break
I've storm chased
Along the Oregon coastline
Tried dodging lies and landmines
But that never worked too well
And I've been war-torn
Beaten down and bruised bad
A Northwestern nomad
Crying out for help
So won't you please protect my soul?
All I need is a hand to hold
To drive out the darkness and leave a little love in its place
And heal this heart you didn't break
Well, I've wandered
Desert sands and mountain tops
I tested God and lost a lot
And blamed somebody else
And I've got skeletons
They're knocking on my closet door
And I can't hold them back no more
All by myself
So won't you please protect my soul?
All I need is a hand to hold
To drive out the darkness and leave a little love in its place
And heal this heart you didn't break
Oh, heart you didn't break
And I might not deserve what I'm asking for
I burned all my chances, but I'd give my life for one more
I'm begging you down on my knees
So won't you please protect my soul?
All I need is your hand to hold
Please protect my soul
All I need is a hand to hold
To drive out the darkness and leave some love in its place
And heal this heart you didn't break
Oh
Heal this heart you didn't break
Ooh, find a little space
And heal this heart you didn't break
Halestorm - Dear Daughter
Dear daughter, hold your head up high
There's a world outside that's passin' by
Dear daughter, never lose yourself
Remember that you're like nobody else
Life throws you into the unknown
And you feel like you're out there all alone
Well, these are words that every girl should have a chance to hear
There will be love, there will be pain
There will be hope, there will be fear
And through it all, year after year
Stand or fall, I will be right here for you
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Dear daughter, don't worry 'bout those stupid girls
If they try to bring you down, it's 'cause they're scared and insecure
And dear daughter, don't change for any man
Even if he promises the stars and takes you by the hand
Life throws you into the unknown
And you feel like you're out there all alone
Well, these are words that every girl should have a chance to hear
There will be love, there will be pain
There will be hope, there will be fear
And through it all, year after year
Stand or fall, I will be right here for you
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Dear daughter, I was just like you
And just like me, you're gonna make it through
These are words that every girl should have a chance to hear
There will be love, there will be pain
There will be hope, there will be fear
And through it all, year after year
Stand or fall, I will be right here
And after all, I will be right here for you
Titus Chapter One
1 PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the
acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according
to the commandment of God our Saviour;
4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord
Jesus Christ our Saviour.
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders
in every city, as I had appointed thee:
6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker,
not given to filthy lucre;
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort
and to convince the gainsayers.
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not,
for filthy lucre's sake.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even
their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto
every good work reprobate.
Titus Chapter One - KJV
Young The Giant - The Walk Home
Young The Giant - The Walk Home
Is anyone out there listening?
I’ve lost myself
Deep in the algorithm of someone else
And under new conditions
I might find that I was always perfectly alone
Can somebody walk me home?
To pearly gates
The universe becomes a wave
And crashes down
Forever’s not enough
And under new conditions
You are not alone
Is anyone out there listening
I’ve lost myself
But there is a song that echoes like morning bells
And as a distant memory shoots right through me
I am left so perfectly alone
Can somebody walk me home?
To pearly gates
The universe becomes a wave
And crashes down
Forever’s not enough
And under new conditions
We are not alone
And when I get better someday
I’ll see myself in you
The way it’s always been
And under new conditions I might find that
We will always walk each other home
Can somebody walk me home?
Tim Reynolds - In Your Eyes - solo acoustic instrumental (Peter Gabriel cover)
Love, I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
Love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
Marble Sounds - The Time to Sleep
Marble Sounds - The Time to Sleep
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
You're falling in a lower gear
A little rest is what you need
You're rolled up on the seat
Your arms around your knees
[Verse 2]
We met by chance, talked on the phone
We kept in touch, I took you home
Sure, it proves we get along
And it will only get better from now on
[Chorus]
We found a place, to which we drive
And I offer you the time
To sleep, to dream
To wake up when we arrive
We found a place, to which we drive
And I offer you the time
To sleep, to dream
To wake up when we arrive
[Verse 2]
Right moments come out of the blue
But when there's one, it's up to you
Even when the time was up, I couldn't stop
I was floating all day long
[Chorus]
We found a place, to which we drive
And I offer you the time
To sleep, to dream
To wake up when we arrive
We found a place, to which we drive
And I offer you the time
To sleep, to dream
To wake up when we arrive
First Thessalonians Chapter One
1 PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and
in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus
Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much
assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy
of the Holy ghost:
7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place
your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God
from idols to serve the living and true God;
10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, Which delivered us
from the wrath to come.
First Thessalonians Chapter One - KJV
Zephaniah Chapter One
1 THE word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son Gedaliah, the son of Amariah,
the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
2 I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.
3 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the
stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.
4 I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut
off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;
5 And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear
by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;
6 And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.
7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath
prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.
8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's
children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
9 In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with
violence and deceit.
10 And it shall come to pass in the day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate,
and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.
11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that
are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.
13 Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses,
but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD:
the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of
darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness.
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
17 And I will bring distress upon men that they shall walk like bind men, because they have sinned against
the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath: but the
whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of
all them that dwell in the land.

The Shins - Simple Song (live on KEXP)
Well this is just a simple song
To say what you done
I told you about all those fears
And away they did run
You sure must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
Being warmed by the sun
When I was just nine years old
I swear that I dreamt
Your face on a football field
And a kiss that I kept
Under my vest
Apart from everything, but the heart in my chest
I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, to play like a stone
Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical
As this little home!
My life in an upturned boat, marooned on a cliff
You brought me a great big flood
And you gave me a lift
To care, what a gift
You tell me with your tongue
And your breath was in my lungs
And you float over the rift
I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, to play like a stone
Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical
As this little home!
Well this will be a simple song to say what you've done
I told you about all those fears and away they did run
You sure must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
Being warmed by the sun
Remember walking a mile to your house, a glow in the dark
I made a fumblin' play for your heart and the act struck a spark
You wore a charm in a chain that I stole especially for you
Love's such a delicate thing that we do, with nothing to prove
Which I never knew
