Kensington - Do I Ever

 Kensington - Do I Ever

Can't sit around holding up my guard
Let it all go, Let it all go around go in and face the inevitable
Can't figure out how to play my part
Where do I go? How do I go around, go in and make it inhabitable

Now let it all in
Cover up the arm that holds the weight
Raging on too long and all will stay
Unsolved

I let it throw me off my feet
I let it put me on my knees
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?

Can't sit around hiding all my scars
Let them all show, Let them all know about go in and embrace the inevitable

Now let it all in
Cover up the arm that holds the weight
Raging on too long and all will stay
Unsolved

I let it throw me off my feet
I let it put me on my knees
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?

I let it throw me off my feet
I let it put me on my knees
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?

I let it
Take away all I could be
Take all the best of me away with it
I let it
Take away all I could see
Take all the best of me
Away with it

I let it throw me off my feet
I let it put me on my knees
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?

I'll let it tell me who to be
I'll let it show me what to see
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?

I let it throw me off my feet
I let it put me on my knees
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?

I let it tell me who to be
I let it show me what to see
What do I know
I ought to grow
But do I ever?
Do I ever?

  Dead Poet Society - HURT 

You need to get outta your head
You're killing yourself again
You better get what you want
You only get one shot
You're lighting yourself on fire
You know you aren't going any higher
This is what you want but why?
You coulda been just fine

Are you insane, how you're dealing with your money situation?
You'll be running for the rest of your life
You can take this any way you want, tell me
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?

I know that I have my doubts
So why you gotta call me out?
Tell me it'll be just fine
You're outta your goddamn mind
The voices in my head grow loud
I don't know how to shut them out
This is what you want but why?
You coulda been just fine

Are you insane, how you're dealing with your money situation?
You'll be running for the rest of your life
You can take this any way you want, tell me
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?
Are you insane, how you're dealing with your money situation?
You'll be running for the rest of your life
You can take this any way you want, tell me
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?

Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?

Are you insane, how you're dealing with your money situation?
You'll be running, you'll be running, you'll be
Are you insane, how you're dealing with your money situation?
You'll be running, you'll be running, you'll be

Are you insane? Look at how you're living
Is it what you really wanted, what you really wanted?
You've been waiting on a miracle and you've gotta let it go
Tired and afraid, the reality of getting old
It's our legacy, and you will never make it out no
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?

Are you insane, how you're dealing with your money situation?
You'll be running for the rest of your life
You can take this any way you want, tell me
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?
(You threw it all away)
Why the hell would you hurt yourself for this?

I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - Modern Day Cain

  I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - Modern Day Cain 

A modern concussion 
The room is on fire
You're an upstanding model
of a modern day Cain
with impeccable style

But now you've done a little wrong
and you need to be forgiven 
by the vicar and the company you keep
and then you conjure up a fiction
to get the pretty girl to listen

This is the sin
That I will confess to release myself
from consequence
And everyone can tell

The moral objection
to something so profane 
but the deepest of convictions 
are the darkest positions
little remissions for the varicose vain 

Now you've done a little wrong 
and you swear you didn’t do it
but volition left you burdened with a curse
and then you conjure up a fiction
to get the pretty girls to listen

This is the sin
That I will confess to release myself
from consequence
And everyone can tell

It doesn’t matter what you think of us
We’re aren’t beholden to the idiots of Oz 

Post boredom couldn’t get me higher then I am
Look! here comes the
Mistress of the destructive one liner
Couldn’t give a damn
About the idiots of Oz 

What do they think?

It doesn’t matter what you think of us
We’re aren’t beholden to the idiots of Oz 

Make your name
Steal a thought
Don’t thank anybody else
Stick and stones 
In the trunk
Keep your feelings to yourself 

Or ego trip through the streets
Only break for the applause 
And for the idiots of Oz 

Stand up
Sellout
It doesn’t matter what you think about

It doesn’t matter what you think of us

Shinedown - Her Name is Alice

 Shinedown - Her Name is Alice

[Intro (Spoken)]
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense
Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't

[Verse 1]
I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time
And every creature lends themself to change your state of mind
And the girl that chased the rabbit, drank the wine, and took the pill
Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels

[Pre-Chorus 1]
To stand outside your virtue
No one can ever hurt you
Or so they say

[Chorus]
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window, through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she knows...

[Verse 2]
Sometimes the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain
And every ounce of innocence is left inside her brain
And through the looking glass we see she's painfully returned
But now 'Off With Her Head', I fear, is everyone's concern

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You see there's no real ending
It's only the beginning
Come out and play

[Chorus]
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window, through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she's unlocked the meaning for you

[Pre-Chorus 3]
This kingdom, good riddance
Her freedom and innocence
Has brought this whole thing down

[Chorus]
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into to the window, through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she's unlocked the meaning

[Bridge]
Red knights, white knights, marching into the fight
Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me
Red knights, white knights, marching into the fight
Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me
She's unlocked the meaning for you


[Outro (Spoken)]
And contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn't be
And what it wouldn't be, it would, you see?
 

I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - Leave Me Alone -- Reading Festival 2021

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

Big shot, so what? Do you wanna pretend?
You took the money, but the money couldn't buy a friend

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
Go fly a kite until you're tangled in the hanging tree

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

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
Oh, you're a big shot here but nobody else knows
Now I want you to leave me alone

Emerson Day “Get behind me” at Winterjam in Indianapolis, Indiana on February 6, 2026

  Emerson Day- Get Behind Me

When fear like a viper strikes
And worry starts to creep
I know that ain’t my Father’s voice
I could only be
That liar in my ear
Trying to make me believe
But I’m calling him out in the name of the Lord 
Listen when I speak 

Devil get behind me
Run on home
Back to the grave where you belong
In case you forgot
Let me tell you the truth
You’re stuck under my blood-bought boots! 
Devil get behind me
You got no hold
I’ve been changed by the Holy Ghost
Try all you want but it ain’t no use
You’re stuck under my blood-bought boots 

Get behind me!
Get behind me! Devil get behind me! 

The same power that raised my Savior 
Is the power that lives in me
So if you wanna pick a fight
You better think twice 
Cause He’s got an angel army! 

Devil get behind me
Run on home
Back to the grave where you belong
In case you forgot
Let me tell you the truth
You’re stuck under my blood-bought boots!
Devil get behind me
You got no hold
I’ve been changed by the Holy Ghost
Try all you want but it ain’t no use
You’re stuck under my blood-bought boots 

Get behind me!
Get behind me!
Devil get behind me!
In the name of the Lord 
In the name of the Lord 

Devil get behind me in the name of the Lord 
Devil get behind me in the name of the Lord 
Devil get behind me in the name of the Lord 
In the name of the Lord! 

Devil get behind me
Run on home
Back to the grave where you belong
Just in case you forgot the truth 
You’re stuck under my blood-bought boots!
Devil get behind me
You got no hold
I’ve been changed by the Holy Ghost
Try all you want but it ain’t no use
You’re stuck under my blood-bought boots 

Get behind me!
Get behind me!
Devil get behind me!
In the name of the Lord!

 twenty one pilots - Navigating 

My, oh my.
Don’t know how long it’s been…

My, oh my,
I can’t seem to turn the page
This haze around my face
Makes me feel all alone.
I know you see me standing still,
But when our fingers touch I feel
My way back home.

Pardon my delay,
I’m navigating. I’m navigating my head
Disassociate…
I’m navigating. I’m navigating my head.
Give me some advice,
I am wasting all this time.
My, oh my…

Don’t know how long it’s been.

My, oh my,
How things change so rapidly.
I find my self-esteem
Then turn so cold.

Don’t know how long it’s been
Since I responded to your question.
If you really want to know what I’m thinking-
Kind of feels like everybody leaves,
Feeling the reality that everybody leaves.
My dad just lost his mom, I think that everybody leaves
And now I’m trying to hold on to you
’cause everybody leaves.

BERNTH -  Master of Puppets 

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

Beartooth - Free

Beartooth - Free 

Got the world in my hands
Never felt so alone
See the path in my head
Scared of where it goes
Do I love it
Do I hate it
I wanna know
Am I really lonely or am I the reason I’m alone
But I know something you don’t know
I’m free I’m free I’m free I’m free I

Thought it was a halo over me
Had me by the neck so hard to breathe
Could it be
I’m free I’m free I’m free I’m free I’m
Running to the light so you can see
Every single f---ed up piece of me
Could it be
I’m free I’m free I’m free I’m free I’m
Free

Saw that look on my face
Gave it all away
I had the words in my mouth 
I didn’t know what to say
What if I told you something I never could say to me
I am a liar
I thought it was better off that way
But I know something you don’t know
I’m free I’m free I’m free I’m free I

There’s nobody else I’d rather be
So what the f--- is stopping me
So what the f--- is stopping me
I’m free I’m free I’m free I’m free I’m free

The Devil Wears Prada - Chemical

 The Devil Wears Prada - Chemical

[Verse 1]
Waking up to no meaning, I stare at the ceiling
Count the imperfections that surround my being
Can tell how I'm feeling
And it hurts more when you ask

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a hole in my head and heart
But I'm a long way from the start
There's a hole in my head and heart
But I'm a long way from

[Chorus]
Back when I couldn't move, was frozen
I told myself it's all good
It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
It's only chemical

[Verse 2]
I'm too shy to speak up
Guess I have my reasons for telling little lies
About those around me and what I could be
It's eating me alive

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a hole in my head and heart
But I'm a long way from the start
There's a hole in my head and heart
But I'm a long way from

[Chorus]
Back when I couldn't move, was frozen
I told myself it's all good
It's only chemical (It's only chemical, it's only chemical)
I want to scream, but it won't help
I've created my own hell
And It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
It's only chemical

[Pre-Chorus]
I find comfort when they say you can't
Sit and count the days until it ends
There's still times I want to break everything I've ever made
But I've come a long way from
I've come a long way from

[Chorus]
Back when I couldn't move, was frozen
I told myself it's all good
It's only chemical (It's only chemical, it's only chemical)
I want to scream but it won't help
I've created my own hell
And it's only chemical
It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
It's only chemical (Oh-woah)

 The Interrupters - Take Back the Power

What's your plan for tomorrow?
Are you a leader or will you follow?
Are you a fighter or will you cower?
It's our time to take back the power

Whatcha gonna do
When they show up in black suits
On your street in army boots
And they're there to silence you
Whatcha gonna say
When they strip your rights away
And the taxman makes you pay
For every bead of sweat you bled today

We don't need to run and hide
We won't be pushed off to the side

What's your plan for tomorrow?
Are you a leader or will you follow?
Are you a fighter or will you cower?
It's our time to take back the power
[x2]

Who you gonna trust
When the judge is so unjust
And the jury must discuss
Said you don't look like one of us
Where you gonna turn
Now the court has been adjourned
And the lessons that you learned
Are not as many as the bridges burned

We don't need to run and hide
We won't be pushed off to the side

What's your plan for tomorrow?
Are you a leader or will you follow?
Are you a fighter or will you cower?
It's our time to take back the power
[x2]

We don't need to run and hide
We won't be pushed off to the side

What's your plan for tomorrow?
Are you a leader or will you follow?
Are you a fighter or will you cower?
It's our time to take back the power
[x3]

It's our time
Let's take the power
It's our time
Let's take the power

Social Distortion - "Never Goin' Back Again"

 There’s a million broken hearts there,
For many this’ll be the end
Well it’s hard to get off this death defying ride,
I ain’t never goin’ back again

There’s run-ins with the zombies,
I was lurking with the living dead
I was lost and I was lonely and a derelict too,
I ain’t never goin’ back again
I ain’t never goin’ back again

No time for cryin’, no time for dyin’
Who’ll be the lucky ones who survive? Who survive

Sinking to the bottom,
How long can one descend?
Well it took a lot of tryin’ to get up that hill,
I ain’t never goin’ back again

There’s crime there’s pain there’s sorrow,
They’ve all now become your friends
Well I took about as much baby as I could,
I ain’t never goin’ back again
I ain’t never goin’ back again

No time for cryin’, no time for dyin’
Who’ll be the only ones who survive?
Just hustling and hiding, cheating and lying 
Let’s see if you’re lucky and get out alive — Get out alive

No time for cryin’, no time for dyin’
Who’ll be the only ones who survive?
Hustling and hiding, still justifying,
Let’s see if you’re lucky and get out alive — Get out alive

Bent Ardi - Fear None

 Bent Ardi - Fear None

They tried to chain my hands
but the fire never left me.
I’ve walked through nights
where even the air felt heavy.
No throne, no crown,
just me standing in the dark.
And still but stand -- I didn’t fall.

You can break the sword,
I’ll fight with my hands.
You can burn the bridge,
I’ll learn how to stand.
The fire inside — 
it’s louder than fear.
I’m not running.
Not running....... 

I’ve heard their voices,
telling me I was nothing.
I’ve felt the weight
of promises that never meant a thing.
But I’d rather bleed
than bow to a king.
This is my ground.
And I won’t give it up.

You can break the sword,
I’ll fight with my hands.
You can burn the bridge,
I’ll learn how to stand.
The fire inside — it’s louder than fear.
I’m not running.
Not running....... 

No crown can buy my soul.
No shadow can tell me where to go.
I’ve carried pain — but pain made me real.
And now…
I fear none.

Take the night — I’ll light my flame.
Take the crown — I’ll wear no name.
The sword may break, the fire remains.
I won’t run, I won’t obey.
I’m still standing.
I fear none.

I fear none
I fear none

Three Days Grace - Chalk Outline

  Three Days Grace - Chalk Outline

I've been cursed
I've been crossed
I've been beaten by the ones that get me off
I've been cut
I've been opened up
I've been shattered by the ones I thought I loved

You left me here like a chalk outline
On the sidewalk waiting for the rain
To wash away
(Wash away)
You keep coming back to the scene of the crime
But the dead can't speak and there's nothing left to say anyway
All you left behind
Is a chalk outline

I've been cold
In the crypt
But not as the cold as the words across your lips
You'll be sorry baby
Some day
When you reach across the bed where my body used to lay

You left me here like a chalk outline
On the sidewalk waiting for the rain
To wash away
(Wash away)
You keep coming back to the scene of the crime
But the dead can't speak and there's nothing left to say anyway
All you left behind
Is a chalk outline
All you left behind
Is a chalk outline

(All you left behind...)

You left me here like a chalk outline
On the sidewalk waiting for the rain
To wash away
(Wash away)
You keep coming back to the scene of the crime
But the dead can't speak and there's nothing left to say anyway
All you left behind
Is a chalk outline

 

Alanis Morissette - Rest - New Song live in Tulsa Oklahoma 3/13/2018 The Joint

 Alanis Morissette - Rest

All these relief-givers
The needle sure revs in the red
Chemicals like hugs from inside 
they feel like my best friend

You think me a coward but I am a warrior
With many voices in my head
When I looked around and I reached out
I saw no alternative

God rest, God rest our souls
And this substance is the only comfort I know

He's been pushing for a while
Can we cut this man some slack
Let him lie down, let him lie down

We are a country desperate for the embryonic
I'm cold and I'm hungry and
I yearn for a hand on my forehead

You think it's a walk in the park and it's easy
"She's got it as good as it gets"
This misunderstanding's the line between living
or being the walking dead

And God rest, please rest our souls
And the more I take, the less comfort I know
She's been pushing for a while
Can we cut this woman slack
Let her lie down, let her lie down

The more that you hurl at me
The more I will curl up in my bed
where's the humanity?
Aren't we all hovering around the same end?

Door number 1, 2 and 3 have been promises
that aren't real enough to be kept
You wish me a speedy recovery
But when you turn I plumb the depths

And God rest, God please rest our souls
This is the surest exit I have known
We've been hurting for a while
Can we cut ourselves some slack
Let us lie down, let us lie down
Let us lie down, let me lie down

My Chemical Romance - Heaven Help Us

 My Chemical Romance - Heaven Help Us 

 Hear the sound, the angels come screaming

 Down your voice, I hear you've been bleeding

 Make your choice, they say you've been pleading 

Someone save us
 Heaven help us now

Come crashing down

We'll hear the sound

 As you're falling down
I'm at this old hotel but can't tell

If I've been breathing or sleeping

Or screaming or waiting for the man to call

And maybe all of the above
'Cause mostly I've been sprawled

On these cathedral steps

While spitting out the blood and screaming

Someone save us
Heaven help us now

Come crashing down

We'll hear the sound

As you're falling down
And will you pray for me

Make them say your name

And will you lay for me

And make a saint of me?
 'Cause I'll give you all the nails you need

Cover me in gasoline

Wipe away those tears of blood again

And the punchline to the joke is asking

Someone save us
Heaven help us now

 Come crashing down

We'll hear the sound

As you fall
And would you pray for me?(You don't know a thing about my sins)(How the misery begins)

Or make a saint of me?(You don't know, so I'm burning, I'm burning)
And will you lay for me?(You don't know a thing about my sins)(How the misery begins)

And make a saint of me?(You don't know, 'cause I'm burning, I'm burning)
'Cause I'll give you all the nails you need(I'm burning)

Cover me in gasoline again(I'm burning again)

Fall Out Boy - ACES

 Fall Out Boy - ACES

We’re playing Aces high but you’re wild like me
So we’ll dynamite the gates of heaven
And our orbits touch but they’re just out of reach
So let’s dynamite the gates of heaven

Prodigal son of a bitch
Couldn’t help but love me
I’m a disc written over too many times
now I’ve gone just a little bit fuzzy
I’m grinding, I’m grinding my teeth in my sleep
I’m feeling the stress down into my dreams

And trust me everything I am is yours
Just say the word
All my Russian nesting dolls of sadness
Or so I’ve heard

We keep the fire alive, Through trying times
Through the slow decay and the rapid decline

We’re playing aces high but you’re wild like me
So we’ll dynamite the gates of heaven
And our orbits touch but they’re just out of reach
So we’ll dynamite the gates of heaven

Just keep pulling the string
Watch it as it unwinds
I got a buzz for freedom
Trying to find some peace inside

I’ve taken, I’ve taken all that I can take
Oh, Just one more poem to kill the pain

We keep the fire alive, Through trying times
Through the slow decay and the rapid decline

We’re playing aces high but you’re wild like me
So we’ll dynamite the gates of heaven
And our orbits touch but they’re just out of reach
So we’ll dynamite the gates of heaven
So let’s dynamite the gates of heaven

We're playing Aces High (Aces High)
We're playing Aces High (Aces High)

Oh we dreams to crush, got lives to live
But don’t stress if you forget my love
It’s right where you left it

We’re playing aces high but you’re wild like me
So we’ll dynamite the gates of heaven
And our orbits touch but they’re just out of reach
So we’ll dynamite the gates of heaven
So let’s dynamite the gates of heaven

We keep the fire alive, Through trying times
Through the slow decay and the rapid decline
We're playing Aces High (Aces High)
We're playing Aces High (Aces High)

Poets of the Fall - Where Do We Draw the Line

Poets of the Fall - Where Do We Draw the Line 

On your palm an endless wonder
Lines that speak the truth without a sound
In your eyes awaits the tireless hunger
Already looks for prey to run down

So why do we keep up this charade
and how do we tell apart the time to leave from the time to wait?

What does tomorrow want from me?
What does it matter what I see?
If it can't be my design,
Tell me where do we draw the line,
Tell me where do we draw the line?

The dance of flames and shadows in the street
Make poetry nobody's ever heard
The weight of loneliness stands on your feet
The cage already there around the bird

So why don't we join the masquerade
before it all falls apart, before our love becomes insatiate?

What does tomorrow want from me?
What does it matter what I see?
If I can't choose my own design,
Tell me where do we draw the line?

What does tomorrow want from me?
What does it matter what I see?
If we all walk behind the blind,
Tell me where do we draw the line,
Tell me where do we draw the line?

Where's the cooling wind?
Where's the evergreen field?
Where's my mother's open arms?
Where's my father lion heart?
It's like the sun's gone down
Sleeps in the hallowed ground now
With the autumn's brown leaves
With the one who never grieves

So why do we keep up this charade
and how do we tell apart the time to leave from the time to wait?

What does tomorrow want from me?
What does it matter what I see?
If it can't be my design,
Tell me where do we draw the line?

Whatever tomorrow wants from me,
At least I'm here, at least I'm free.
Free to choose to see the signs.
This is my line.

Counting Stars, Apologize and Need Your Love

 Counting Stars

  [Intro]
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said no more countin' dollars, we'll be countin' stars
Yeah, we'll be countin' stars

[Verse 1]
I see this life, like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And in my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye' shall find
[Refrain]
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
On just doing what we're told

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel something so right doin' the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong doin' the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

[Chorus]
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said no more countin' dollars, we'll be countin' stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said no more countin' dollars, we'll be, we'll be countin' stars

[Verse 2]
I feel your love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is our four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn
[Refrain]
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
On just doing what we're told

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel something so wrong doin' the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

[Chorus]
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said no more countin' dollars, we'll be countin' stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said no more countin' dollars, we'll be, we'll be countin' stars

[Bridge]
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I learned
[Pre-Chorus]
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

[Chorus]
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said no more countin' dollars, we'll be countin' stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said no more countin' dollars, we'll be, we'll be counting stars

[Outro]
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned
Take that money, watch it burn
Sink in the river the lessons I've learned

 Apologize

 
intro:
I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say, but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say

That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new, yeah, yeah
I loved you with a fire red
Now it's turning blue, and you say
Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late, whoa

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground

Need Your Love

 Oh, oh, I need your love

Don't need the buzz or the credit cards (Credit cards)
Mm, the house on the hill with a perfect yard (Oh, oh, oh)
Don't gotta see my name on the boulevard
I don't need a million dollars
Giving me expensive problems
Oh, don't need a drink just to fill the cup (Oh, oh, I need your love)

But I, I need your love (Oh, oh, I need your love, oh, oh, I need your love)
Oh I, I need your love (Oh, oh, I need your love, oh, oh, I need your love)
Got me singin', I, I need your love
I, I need your love
I, I need your love
I, I need your
I, I need your love (Your love)

Don't gotta act like such a big deal
I don't gotta lie 'cause the way you make me feel, oh I
Most people searchin' for something real
And I don't need a million dollars
Don't need expensive problems (I need your love)
Yeah, don't need a drink just to fill this cup (Oh, oh, I need your love)

But I, I need your love (Oh, oh, I need your love, oh, oh I need your love)
Oh I, I need your love (Oh, oh, I need your love, oh, oh I need your love)
Got me singin', I, I need your love
I, I need your love
I can't get enough
I, I need your
I, I need your love (Your love)

And when all of our time starts to slip away (Oh, oh, I need your love, oh, oh I need your love)
I'm gonna love those lines, gonna love your shades of grey
You know that I have made a million mistakes
But I won't make a million dollars
At least not with another
Yeah, don't need a drink just to fill this cup

But I, I need your love (I-I-I)
Oh I, I need your love (Oh, oh, I need your love, oh, oh I need your love)
Got me singin', I, I need your love
I, I need your love (Need)
I can't get enough
I, I need your
I, I need your love (Ooh)

Oh, oh, I need your love

Kings of Leon - Rose 

[Verse 1]
There's a rose in the garden
I planted for you
I knew this day was coming
It was the right thing to do

[Chorus]
For the load don't get any lighter
'Til you throw it all away

[Verse 2]
When we kissed our first kiss
Who could have known
It would last two lifetimes
Through heartaches and homes

[Chorus]
For the road don't get any wider
Once you go, you don't come back

[Post-Chorus]
We gon' let it ride

[Bridge]
(Got you by my side, we will survive)
(We gon' let it ride, staying alive)
(Got you by my side, we will survive)
(We gon' let it ride, staying alive)
What's it gonna bе?
(Got you by my side, we will survive)
What do you havе for me?
(We gon' let it ride, staying alive)
You know you're not alone
(Got you by my side, we will survive)
I look at you looking heavenly
(We gon' let it ride, staying alive)
I'm gonna get you where you're going

[Chorus]
Where the road don't get any wider
Once you go, there's no coming back
When you hold
(Got you by my side, we will survive)
Your heart to the fire
(We gon' let it ride, staying alive)
All the gold
(Got you by my side, we will survive)
Comes from the black

[Outro]
(We gon' let it ride, staying alive)
(We gon' let it ride, staying alive)
We gon' let it ride
We gon' let it ride

James Blunt - This is Not Forever

James Blunt - "This Is Not Forever"

Can I just say, they make you feel like a failure?
Make you feel like you need a saviour
But no one's saving you
Can I just say, there's something that they put in the water?
It's giving everyone a disorder
It's how they order you

But when I look back now, these eyes are older
We've been living a lie that they told us was over
It isn't over

So, come and see the revelries, the way we looked and how
Caught between the answers and the questions they allowed
And if you want these kind of dreams before they're dying out
Oh, this is not forever
It's just for now
It's just for now

Can I just say, there's something feels safe in the danger?
Like taking my sweets from a stranger
Who I don't need to know
But if you say, you don't know what you see in the mirror
It's never gonna get any clearer
Until we meet again, oh

'Cause when I look back now as we're all getting older
A little bit closer to the day that it's over
It isn't over

So, come and see the revelries, the way we looked and how
Caught between the answers and the questions they allowed
And if you want these kind of dreams before they're dying out
Oh, this is not forever
Oh, this is not forever
It's just for now
It's just for now

We're trying to write a Yellow
A song that somebody knows
For all the high and the lows
And if you're wondering "Why?"
There's nothing shorter than life
So, don't wait 'til you die

So, come and see the revelries, the way we looked and how
Caught between the answers and the questions they allowed
And if you want these kind of dreams before they're dying out
Oh, this is not forever
Oh, this is not forever
It's just for now
It's just for now

Rise Against - Everchanging (Live HQ)

 Rise Against - Everchanging

In the face of change that's when she turned to me and said
"I'm not sure anymore"
And there amidst the waves and the cloudless skies that blanket the year before
I watched my life wash ashore

Have you ever been a part of something that you thought would never end
and then of course it did?
Have you ever felt the weight inside you pulling away inside your skin
and then something had to give?

Now the lines are drawn is this feeling gone?
The best parts of this have come and gone
And now that is all this is
And with the reasons clear we'll spend another year
without direction, full of fear
And now things will be different

There's nothing simple when it comes to you and I
(There's) always something in this everchanging life
and it probably always will
And now the time is getting harder to come by
The same arguments are always on our minds
We've killed this slowly fading light

Now the lines are drawn is this feeling gone?
The best parts of this have come and gone
And now that is all this is
And with the reasons clear we'll spend another year
without direction, full of fear
But now things will be different

And now something has kept me here too long
and you can't leave me if I'm already gone
Oh
Now something has kept me here too long
and you can't leave me if I'm already gone
Now let's say that something has kept me here too long
and you can't leave me if I'm already gone

Now it seems we make the same mistakes we're always hangin' on
Break the promises we're always leaning on
All this time spent waking up
Keep this line open to get this call from you
Speak the words that keep me coming back to you
Now this time it's all different

And now something has kept me here too long and now I'm gone
