[Verse 1]
I hate the world today
You're so good to me, I know, but I can't change
Tried to tell you but you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
[Verse 2]
Yesterday I cried
You must have been relieved to see the softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything all rolled into one
[Chorus]
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your Hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
[Verse 3]
So take me as I am
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change and today won't mean a thing
[Chorus]
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your Hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
[Bridge]
Just when you think you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me
[Chorus]
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your Hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way
[Chorus 2]
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way
[Outro]
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, uh...
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, uh...
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, uh...
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, uh...
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, uh...
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, uh...
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, uh...
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, uh...

Proverbs Chapter Thirteen
1 A WISE son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.
16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.
17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.
22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
Proverbs Chapter Thirteen - KJV
The Strokes - Going Shopping
Like a tiger, they will chase you down
With words instead of claws
They will seduce you 'til you reach the point
To let yourself get mauled, oh
The worse reality gets, the less you wanna hear about it
Solidarity can be difficult
When you got cool stuff to lose
I wanna be a 7-foot zombie
The pay is low, but I gotta do somethin'
I'm at the mall and the song is bumpin'
There goes my future wife in the little red jumpsuit
I'm goin' away to the country
Don't wander off too far
I'm goin' out my mind
Throwin' all my plans out the window
Don't wanna waste my life
I'll see you on the other side
I've been thinkin' about what I wanna say
But I'm an old man now
At least that's what they tell me anyway
We've been expanding on our greatness
Building future ruins
We're buildin' castles from the bones of dead trees
Molded from the shattered ashes of the Dead Sea
I moved away to the country
I had to change my way
But I kinda miss you now
Stockbrokers flyin' out the window
I kinda miss that sound
Don't wanna wake up poor (Haha)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
I can't wait, I'm goin' shoppin'
I'm at the mall and the song is bumpin'
I wanna be a 7-foot starfish
Above the law, a political puppet
I'm goin' back to the city
I'm 'bout to lose my mind
I'm gonna stay alive
I'm climbin' out through the window
I miss the shops and malls
I'm gonna meet you there
Still throwin' my phone out the window
I'm gonna soothe my soul
Can't wait, I'm goin' shoppin'
If you're better than me, you don't have to judge me

The All-American Rejects - For Mama
Hey lady, you ok?
Been a rough last couple a days
Weeks now even, months I guess, sure wish you’d get some rest.
But I Still don’t love you any less than the day before. Still more.
Hey lady, you alright?
Haven’t seen you since the last time I seen you, said that you were fine. I knew better, let it slide. Thought time was on your side.
But I Still don’t love you any less than the day before. Only more.
From a son, to a mother
From a son, to a mother
I can’t fix you. I sure miss you.
Hey brother it’ll be ok
Best said unsaid just like dad used to say
Nothin easy never is. It just is what it is
Hey sissy it’ll be alright
I can tell that you’ve been fighting this inside
I know we’ll get through this, just like when we were kids.
From a son to a mother
From a son, to his mother
I can’t fix you, i sure miss you.
It’s a rough love, it’s a tough love, that sure don’t make it easy.
It’s a rough love, it’s a tough love, that sure don’t make it easy.
I can’t fix you.
I sure miss you.

Paramore - This Is Why
If you have an opinion
Maybe you should shove it
Or maybe you could scream it
Might be best to keep it
To yourself
This is why
I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear
but you won’t catch me out
Oh why?
This Is Why
Better have conviction
We want crimes of passion
Survival of the fittest
You’re either with us or you can keep it
To yourself
This is why
I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear,
but you won’t catch me out
Oh why?
This Is Why
One step beyond your door
Might as well have been a free fall
One step beyond your door
Falling down an endless hall
One step beyond your door
Might as well have been a free fall
One step beyond your door
And I’m floating like a cannonball
This is why
I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear,
but you won’t catch me out
Oh why?
This Is Why

Metallica - The Memory Remains
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd
Cry the nowhere cheers of honor
Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
In light of an already
Faded prima donna
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
But the memory remains
Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the hollywood sun sets
Behind your back
And cant the band play on
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
Dance little tin goddess
Nananananana nananada nananananana nanananadana
Nananananana nananada nananananana nanananadana
Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane...
But the memory remains
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black...
But the memory remains
Faded prima donna
Dance little tin goddess dance
Nananananana nananada nanananana nanananadana
Nananananana nananada nanananana nanananadana

My Chemical Romance - You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us In Prison (Live at AOL Sessions)
My Chemical Romance - You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us In Prison
In the middle of a gun fight
In the center of a restaurant
They say, "Come with your arms raised high!"
Well, they're never gonna get me,
Like a bullet through a flock of doves
To wage this war against your faith in me,
Your life will never be the same.
On your mother's eyes, say a prayer, say a prayer!
Now, but I can't
And I don't know
How we're just two men as God had made us,
Well, I can't, well, I can!
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish,
I'll kiss your lips again.
They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost,
My cellmate's a killer, they make me do push-ups in drag
But nobody cares if you're losing yourself
Am I losing myself?!
Well, I miss my mom,
Will they give me the chair,
Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope if you dare?
Ah, nobody knows all the trouble I've seen!
Now, but I can't
And I don't know
How we're just two men as God had made us,
Well, I can't, well, I can!
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish,
I'll kiss your lips again.
To your room
What they ask of you
Will make you want to say "So long"
Well, I don't remember,
Why remember you?!
Do you have the keys to the hotel?!
'Cause I'm gonna string this mother ----er on fire, fire!
Life is but a dream for the dead,
And, well, I—I won't go down by myself,
But I'll go down with my friends.
Now, now, now, now... I can't explain
Now, now, now... I can't complain
Now, now, yeah!
The Plot In You - FEEL NOTHING
The Plot In You - FEEL NOTHING
Before I say another word just know that my intentions were pure, but you can't stand to be in silence, all you can hear is your own voice, fueling delusion in you and I'm just so sick of backing down that I might just spill it all, and if I do you won't be coming back without a deep scar in your soul, are you not sick of playing playing games, sick of giving blame, sick of f---ing living like the world has never given you a life defining day, and I can't relate, and I feel nothing for you, I feel it's too late, I've buried this and it's evident you won't change, I feel nothing for you
My mind is torn, I hate it but I long to feel what I felt before, but you just keep moving towards me, what do I do what do I say, can you kindly just refrain, what's here for me, why hide the truth, that I feel nothing for you, broke away but you're starving for closure, seem together but you know that I know ya, know this is real, this is real
The Neighbourhood - A Little Death - live on Letterman
The Neighbourhood - A Little Death
[Verse 1]
Vacancy was lit
The guests were checking in
The concierge was cold
The water pipes had mold all over them
The room was fit for two
The bed was left in ruins
The neighbor was knocking, yeah
But no one would let him in
[Chorus]
Touch me, yeah
I want you to touch me there
Make me feel like I am breathing
Feel like I am human
[Verse 2]
Dancing through the night
A vodka and a Sprite
A glimpse of her silhouette
A night that they'd never forget
[Chorus]
Touch me, yeah
I want you to touch me there
Make me feel like I am breathing
Feel like I am human
Touch me, yeah
I want you to touch me there
Make me feel like I am breathing
Feel like I am human
[Bridge]
She sought death
On a queen-sized bed
And he had said
"Darling, your looks can kill, so now you're dead"
[Chorus]
Touch me, yeah
I want you to touch me there
Make me feel like I am breathing
Feel like I am human
Touch me, yeah
I want you to touch me there
Make me feel like I am breathing
Feel like I am human again
Metallica - Enter Sandman (Live in Mexico City) [Orgullo, Pasión, y Gloria]
Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land
Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land
Now I lay me down to sleep
(Now I lay me down to sleep)
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
(Pray the Lord my soul to keep)
If I die before I wake
(If I die before I wake)
Pray the Lord my soul to take
(Pray the Lord my soul to take)
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed
In your closet, in your head
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land
(BUM! Yeah, yeah)
(Off to never never land
Take my hand
Off to never never land
Take my hand
Off to never never land
Off to never never land
Off to never never land
Off to never never land)
Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls - Woodstock '94
Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
Oh they fight, for they're right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know
Stiffened wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
Take a look to the sky just before you die
It's the last time you will
Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery
Hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
The Killers - The Man (live from Jimmy Kimmel Live!)
[Verse 1]
I know the score like the back of my hand
Them other boys, I don't give a damn
They kiss on the ring, I carry the crown
Nothing can break, nothing can break me down
Don't need no advice, I got a plan (Ooh-ooh)
I know the direction, the lay of the land (Ooh-ooh)
I know the score like the back of my hand
Them other boys, I don't give a damn
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm the man, come round
No-no-nothing can break, no-nothing can break me down
I'm the man, come round and
No-no-nothing can break, you can't break me down
[Chorus]
I got gas in the tank
I got money in the bank
I got news for you baby
You're looking at the man (Looking at the man)
I got skin in the game
I got a household name
I got news for you baby, you're looking at the man
[Verse 2]
When it comes to Friday, I always earn (Ooh-ooh)
Don't try to teach me, I got nothing to learn
'Cause baby I'm gifted
You see what I mean?
USDA certified lean
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm the man, come round
No-no-nothing can break, you can't break me down
[Chorus]
I got gas in the tank
I got money in the bank
I got news for you baby
You're looking at the man (Looking at the man)
I got skin in the game
I don't feel no pain
I got news for you baby, you're looking at the man
[Post-Chorus]
Who's the man? Who's the man?
I'm the man, I'm the man
Who's the man with the plan?
I'm the man (Looking at the man)
Who's the man? Who's the man?

Headed to the hall of fame
I got news for you baby, you're looking at the man

Right hand to God
First in command
My testimony, when I take the stand
[Post-Chorus]
Who's the man? Who's the man?
I'm the man, I'm the man
Who's the man with the plan?

Who's the man with the plan?
I'm the man

I'm the man

Vampire Weekend - This Life
Vampire Weekend "This Life"
Baby, I know pain is as natural as the rain
I just thought it didn't rain in California
Baby, I know love isn't what I thought it was
'Cause I've never known love like this before, oh, yeah
Baby, I know dreams tend to crumble at extremes
I just thought our dream would last a little bit longer
There's a time when every man draws a line down in the sand
We're surviving, we're still living, I'm stronger
You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you
You've been cheating on me
But I've been cheating through this life
And all its suffering
Oh Christ
Am I good for nothing?
Baby, I know hate is always waiting at the gate
I just thought we'd lock the gate when we left in the morning
When I was told that war is how we landed on these shores
I just thought the drums of war beat louder warnings
You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you
You've been cheating on me
But I've been cheating through this life
And all its suffering
Oh Christ
Am I good for nothing?
Baby, I know death probably hasn't happened yet
'Cause I don't remember living life before this
And, darling, our disease is the same one as the trees
Unaware that they've been living in a forest
You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you
You've been cheating on me
But I've been cheating through this life
And all its suffering
Oh Christ
Am I good for nothing?
This life
And all its suffering
Oh Christ
Am I good for nothing?
This life and all its suffering
The War On Drugs - I Don't Live Here Anymore (ft. Lucius)
The War On Drugs - I Don't Live Here Anymore
I was lying in my bed
A creature void of form
Been so afraid of everything
I need a chance to be reborn
I never wanted anything
That someone had to give
I don’t live here anymore
When I think about the old days, babe
You’re always on my mind
I know it ain’t like I remember
I guess my memory runs wild
Like when we went to see Bob Dylan
We danced to “Desolation Row”
But I don’t live here anymore
And I got no place to go
Beating like a heart
I’m gonna walk through every doorway
I can’t stop
I need some time
I need control
I need your love
I wanna find out everything I need to know
I’m gonna say everything that there is to say
Although you’ve taken everything I need away
I’m gonna make it to the place I need to go
We’re all just walkin’ through this darkness on our own
Now time surrounds me like an ocean
My memories like waves
Is life just dying in slow motion?
I’m getting stronger everyday
I never took our love for granted
You never left me wanting more
But you’d never recognize me, babe
I don’t live here anymore
Beating like a heart
I’m gonna walk through every doorway
I can’t stop
I need some time
I need control
I need your love
I wanna find out everything I need to know
I’m gonna say everything I need to say
Although you’ve taken everything I need away
I’m gonna take it to the place I need to go
We’re all just walkin’ through this darkness on our own
Brennan Savage - Meant to Live (acoustic cover Switchfoot)
Brennan Savage - Meant to Live
Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bet for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly
Fly
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Dreaming about providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been living with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken
Broken
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life
Yeah
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live (we were meant to live)
We were meant to live
I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - Choke (live 91X San Diego)
I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - Choke
Stop
Drop
and drag me into place
and lock the fire escapes
I’ll break your pretty face
Oh, You
clever little things
the sycophantic teens
what a precious basket case
Now shut your dirty mouth
If I could burn this town
I wouldn’t hesitate
to smile while you suffocate and die
And that would be just fine
and what a lovely time that it would surely be
So bite your tongue
and choke yourself to sleep
You get everything you want
and money always talks
to the idiot savants
Now shut your dirty mouth
If I could burn this town
I wouldn’t hesitate
to smile while you suffocate and die
And that would be just fine
and what a lovely time that it would surely be
So bite your tongue and
choke yourself to sleep
Rise Against - Ready to Fall
Hold on slow down, again from the top now and tell me everything
I know I've been gone for what seems like forever but I'm here now waiting
To convince you that I'm not a ghost or a stranger, but closer than you'd think
She said "Just go on to what you pretend is your life, but please don't die on me"
Wings won't take me, heights don't phase me
So take a step but don't look down, take a step
Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
Perpetual motion, the image won't focus, a blur is all that's seen
But here in this moment like the eye of a storm it all came clear to me
I found a shoulder to lean on, an infallible reason, to live all by itself
I took one last look from the heights that I once loved, and then I ran like hell
Wings won't take me, heights don't phase me
So take a step but don't look down, take a step
Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I count the times that I've been sorry [I know, I know]
While my compassion slowly drowns [I know, I know]
If there's a time these walls could guard you [I know, I know]
Then let that time be right now
Now I'm standing on the rooftop
Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
Royal Blood - Mad Visions
I don't wanna change
I don't know how
Make the same mistakes
Freak myself out
Cos I can't be tamed
Out in the wild
Broken off the chain
Traipsing through crowd
I come in swinging like a wrecking ball
Breaking though the wall
Feeling ten foot tall
Bad decisions trip me till I'm on the floor
Yeah feed me some more
Don't want it to stop
Till I got
Mad visions
Mad visions
It feels so good to be letting go
Give me
Mad visions
Mad visions
It's so much better now I’m not alone
Give me mad visions
Mad visions
Give me mad visions
Mad visions
I can't walk away
Turn it around
Falling into flames
I'm burning up
As I sit and wait
With all my doubts
That I can't erase
Racing round and round
I come in swinging like a wrecking ball
Breaking though the wall
Feeling ten foot tall
Till I got...
Mad visions
Mad visions
It feels so good to be letting go
Give me
Mad visions
Mad visions
It's so much better now I’m not alone
Give me mad visions

Dead Poet Society - I hope you hate me. (explicit)
Dead Poet Society - I hope you hate me.
[Verse 1]
I'm not afraid of dying alone
Looking back on shit that hurt me the most
You know I tried for you
But you lied like you do
I think about you every once in a while
Wondered if you found your place in the wild
I feel a hate in me
And it's hard to breathe oh
[Chorus]
F--- it I wanna be underground
Cause at least there I'll be safe and sound
And all my walls keep crumbling down
So just let it go and leave me alone
[Verse 2]
There's a game we like to play
Who's side will everyone take?
That shits so petty and it weighs heavy on me
The longer I hold onto everything that you said
The shorter and shorter the moments get until I'm dead
Oh I know I feel this hate in me
[Chorus]
F--- it I wanna be underground
Cause at least there I'll be safe and sound
And all my walls keep crumbling down
So just let it go and leave me alone
[Bridge]
I still wait
I still wait
For you to call me over
So we can say
So we can say
All the things that we held from each other
Cause lately I don't think I'm being honest
And if I was I don't think we'd still talk
And I know you'll hate me for it
And I know you'll hate me for it
And I hope you hate me for it
Yeah I hope you hate me
F---!
[Chorus]
F--- it I wanna be underground
Cause at least there I'll be safe and sound
and all my walls keep crumbling down
So just let it go
OneRepublic - Secrets
I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess
'Til all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly, I swear
Thought you saw me wink, no
I've been on the brink
So tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time
Don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
My God, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And every day I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Send it straight to gold
But I don't really like my flow, no
So tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time
Don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
Ooh
Got no reason, got no shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'ma tell you everything
So tell me what you want to hear
Something that'll light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time
Don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
So tell me what you want to hear
Something that'll light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time
Don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
All my secrets away
All my secrets away
Tophouse - Deathbed
There's a picture of my deathbed hanging high upon the wall
Where my dreams and aspirations come to meet up for a talk
And all they ever talk about are the ways that they can keep me out of it
Now I'm looking for perspective, how I'd love to get her take
Might she offer up an anecdote, or the just right thing to say
Like "It's a lovely composition, but the bigger picture's always hidden by the frame"
Stuck in minutiae with nothing to do but complain to all of my friends
Details are cool, they won't be in the room when it's time
Make up and tuck in to my death bed
There's a hustle in the culture, there's a stone in which I grind
I've been spinning wheels, looking for an edge I hope to find
In a race that's never ending even though I keep on pretending that it does
Now I'm picking up the pieces to the puzzle that I solved
So that I can then collect them and put them back inside the box
And in tomorrow's boredom I can spread them on the floor and start again, oh
Stuck in minutiae with nothing to do but complain to all of my friends
Details are cool, they won't be in the room when it's time
Make up and tuck in to my death bed
Stuck in minutiae with nothing to do but complain to all of my friends
Details are cool, they won't be in the room when it's time
Make up and tuck in to my death bed

The Black Keys - I Forgot To Be Your Lover
The Black Keys - I Forgot To Be Your Lover
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Well, if I didn't, darlin', I'm sorry
Did I reach out and hold you in my loving arms
Oh, when you needed me?
Now I realize that you need love too
And I'll spend my life making love to you
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
Have I taken the time to share with you
All the burden that love will fare?
And have I done the little simple things to show you
Just how much I care?
Oh, I've been workin' for you doin' all I can
To work all the time didn't make me a man
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
Placebo - Lady of the Flowers RE:CREATED VERSION
'Scuse me
I apologize
He likes your attitude
He tries it on for size
He spends the afternoon
Between your thighs
How's that for gratitude
I apologize
It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
And her hypnotic gaze
'Scuse me
I apologize
She's got vacuum cleaner eyes
That Sucks You In
She's got magazines
Filled with pear pies
'Scuse me
I apologize
It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
And her hypnotic gaze
She wears her tears on her blouse
Confused and racked with self-doubt
She stole the keys to my house
And then she locked herself out
'Scuse me
I apologize
He likes your attitude
He tries it on for size
He spends the afternoon
Between your thighs
How's that for gratitude
I apologize
It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
Her electronic haze
She wears her tears on her blouse
Confused and racked with self doubt
She stole the keys to my house
And then she locked herself out
She stole the keys to my house
And then she locked herself out
She lays me down
She lays me
Dean Lewis - For The Last Time
Dean Lewis - For The Last Time
[Verse 1]
I heard somebody knocking at the door
And I had a drink in hand but I was looking for something more
When I put my eyes on you I fell in love with you for the last time
I remember the dark brown of your eyes
And your olive skin and a look of sin yeah you took me by surprise
When I put my hands on you I fell in love with you for the last time
[Chorus]
‘Cause the brighter that we shine there’s a bigger shadow in our wake
A story we can tell another time
But if this was love and I was wrong then I’ll admit the mistakes we made were always mine
Were always mine
[Verse 2]
I told you to go left then I went right
Oh, I told you that I loved you, you couldn’t tell I was lying
‘Cause I put a spell on you, I put my eyes on you for the last time
And maybe I’m too young to settle down
‘Cause I know that you’d be good for me but that I wouldn’t stick around
And I don’t want to hurt you darling, I don’t want to let you down again
For the last time
[Chorus]
‘Cause the brighter that we shine there’s a bigger shadow in our wake
A story we can tell another time
But if this was love and I was wrong then I’ll admit the mistakes we made, were always mine
[Bridge]
and no…. no…..please don’t go, won’t you stay?
[Chorus]
