The Strokes - The Adults Are Talking (live at Coachella 2026)

The Strokes - The Adults Are Talking 

They've been sayin', "You're sophisticated"
They're complainin', overeducated
You are saying all the words I'm dreaming
Say it after me
Say it after me
They will blame us, crucify and shame us
We can't help it if we are a problem
We are tryin' hard to get your attention
I'm climbin' up your wall
Climbin' up your wall
 

Don't go there 'cause you'll never return
I know you think of me when you think of her
But then it don't make sense when you're tryin' hard
To do the right thing but without recompense
And then you did something wrong and you said it was great
And now you don't know how you could ever complain
Because you're all confused 'cause you want me to
But then you want me to do it the same as you
 

You were waitin' for the elevator
You were sayin' all the words I'm dreaming
No more askin' questions or excuses
Information's here
Here and everywhere
 

Don't go there 'cause you'll never return
I know you think of me when you think of her
But then it don't make sense when you're tryin' hard
To do the right thing but without recompense
And then you did something wrong and you said it was great
And now you don't know how you could ever complain
Because you're all confused 'cause you want me to
But then you want me to do it the same way as you, and, but
 

I don't, I don't want anything
I know it's not, it's not your fault
I don't want anyone
Always I do, it's not for you
 

Ah
Ooh
 

Stockholders
Same shit, a different lie
I'll get it right sometime
Oh, maybe not tonight
Oh, maybe not tonight
Oh, maybe not tonight
Oh, maybe not tonight
Oh, maybe not tonight
 

Hello?
Yeah, boy, here we go
And a-one, and a-two, and a-three
Here we go, friends
Hold on, I can't-
Maybe that's kooky situation
So, let's go back to the old key, old tempo, everything
Okay

Jaafar Jackson's Stunning Piano Cover of Justin Bieber's '"As Long As You Love Me"

Jaafar Jackson "As Long As You Love Me"

As long as you love me
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
We're under pressure
Seven billion people in the world tryna fit in
Keep it together
Smile on your face, even though your heart is frowning
But hey now, you know girl
We both know it's a cruel world
But I will take my chances
As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you love me
As long as you love me, love me
I'll be your soldier
Fighting every second of the day for your dreams, girl
I'll be your Hova
You could be my Destiny's Child on the scene, girl
So don't stress and don't cry
Oh, we don't need no wings to fly
Just take my hand
As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you love me, love me
As long as you love me
I don't know if this makes sense, but you're my hallelujah
Give me a time and place, I'll rendezvous it
I'll fly you to it, I'll beat you there
Girl, you know I got you
Us, trust, a couple things I can't spell without U
Now we on top of the world
'Cause that's just how we do
Used to tell me sky's the limit, now the sky's our point of view
Man, we stepping out, like woah, oh God
Cameras point and shoot
Ask me, "What's my best side"
I stand back and point at you, you, you
The one that I argue with
Feel like I need a new girl to be bothered with
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side
It's green where you water it
So I know, we got issues baby, true, true, true
But I'd rather work on this with you
Than to go ahead and start with someone new
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
As long as you love me (I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold)
As long as you love me, you love me, you love me (it's all I want baby)
As long as you love me, you love me, you love me (please, don't go)
As long as you love me, as long as you love me, 'long as you love me
As long as you love me

Arcade Fire - Wake Up (Glastonbury 2007)

 Arcade Fire - Wake Up

Something filled up
My heart with nothing
Someone told me not to cry
But now that I'm older
My heart's colder
And I can see that it's a lie

Children, wake up
Hold your mistake up
Before they turn the summer into dust
If the children don't grow up
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
We're just a million little gods causing rain storms
Turning every good thing to rust
I guess we'll just have to adjust

With my lightning bolts a glowing
I can see where I am going to be
When the reaper he reaches and touches my hand
With my lightning bolts a glowing
I can see where I am going
With my lightning bolts a glowing
I can see where I am go-going
You better look out below! 

Live - Pain Lies on the Riverside (1992/Live At The Chameleon, MTV Version)

 Live - Pain Lies on the Riverside

I have never taken life
Yet I have often paid the price
And you, you are a victim of this age
And the guilt that hangs around your neck
Has got me locked up in a cage
 

You've got to learn to live until no end
But first you must learn to swim
All over again
Oh no because...
Pain lies on the riverside (yes)
And pain will never say goodbye (no no)
 

Pain lies on the riverside
So put your feet in the water
Put your head in the water
Put your soul in the water
Join me for a swim tonight
 

I have forever, always tried
To stay clean and constantly baptized (oh)
I'm aware that the river's banks they are dry
And to wait for a flood
Is to wait for life
 

I've got to learn to live until no end
But first I must learn to swim all over again
Yeah yeah yeah because...
 

Pain lies on the riverside (yeah)
And pain will never say goodbye (no no)
Pain lies on the riverside
 

So put your feet in the water
Put your head in the water
C'mon put your soul in the water
Join me for a swim tonight
For a swim tonight
(Oh my Lord)
 

I've got to learn to live until no end
I've got to learn to swim
All over, all over, all over again
Yeah yeah yeah because
 

Pain lies on the riverside
(oooh nah nah nah nah)
And pain will never say goodbye (no no)
Pain lies on the riverside
 

So put your feet in the water
Put your head in the water now
C'mon put your soul in the water
Join me for a swim tonight
 

For a swim tonight
To swim (all over, all over, all over, all over again)
To live (all over, all over, all over, all over again)
Live (all over again)

The Stockholm Robot - Novocaine Smile

 The Stockholm Robot - Novocaine Smile


We jumped off the speeding train
the one sped in circles heading nowhere for a fee
we hobbled along with the field brakes and springs
with some tourniquets on our knees

we snuck by the man asleep at the base of a tree
with a gun in his hand

we stepped on the criss cross branches and fell ten feet deep
and we realized it was part of his plan

he peered over the edge
then ashed his cigarette in our hair
and shook his head
he cussed up a storm
and said he'd caught the wrong ones
and we should thank God that we weren't dead

so we did


somehow we learned
to smile at the rain
as it was pouring down
pouring down 

and all the rest of life's little tests
were washed away
into a puddle
for someone else to step in

for someone else to step in

for someone else


First Peter Chapter Five

1    THE elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ,
    and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

2    Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly;
    not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

3    Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

4    And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

5    Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder.  Yea, all of you be subject one to another,
    and be clothed with humility:  for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

6    Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

7    Casting all your care upon him;  for he careth for you.

8    Be sober, be vigilant;  because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom
    he may devour:

9    Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren
    that are in the world.

10    But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered
    a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

11    To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.  Amen.

12    By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting and testifying that
    this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

13    The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you;  and so doth Marcus my son.

14    Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity.  Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus.  Amen.

    First Peter Chapter Five - KJV

Psalm 46 - KJV and Scottish Metrical Psalter

 
1    GOD is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2    Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains
      be carried into the midst of the sea;

3    Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the
      swelling thereof. Selah.

4    There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of
      the tabernacles of the most High.

5    God is in the midst of here; she shall not be moved:  God shall help her, and that right early.

6    The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved:  he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7    The LORD of host is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.  Selah.

8    Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

9    He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the
      spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

10    Be still, and know that I am God:  I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

11    The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.  Selah.

        Psalm 46 - KJV

 

 1 God is our refuge and our strength,
in straits a present aid;
2 Therefore, although the earth remove,
we will not be afraid:
Though hills amidst the seas be cast;
3 Though waters roaring make,
And troubled be; yea, though the hills,
by swelling seas do shake.
4 A river is, whose streams do glad
the city of our God;
The holy place, wherein the Lord
most high hath his abode.
5 God in the midst of her doth dwell;
nothing shall her remove:
The Lord to her an helper will,
and that right early, prove.
6 The heathen rag'd tumultuously,
the kingdoms moved were:
The Lord God uttered his voice,
the earth did melt for fear.
7 The Lord of hosts upon our side
doth constantly remain:
The God of Jacob's our refuge,
us safely to maintain.
8 Come, and behold what wondrous works
have by the Lord been wrought;
Come, see what desolations
he on the earth hath brought.
9 Unto the ends of all the earth
wars into peace he turns:
The bow he breaks, the spear he cuts,
in fire the chariot burns.
10 Be still, and know that I am God;
among the heathen I
Will be exalted; I on earth
will be exalted high.
11 Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,
is still upon our side;
The God of Jacob our refuge
for ever will abide.

Psalm 46 Scottish Metrical Psalter 

Mod Sun - I Remember Way Too Much

 Mod Sun - I Remember Way Too Much

I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
Ay, I remember when we wished we were older
I remember how we felt late October
"I'll always keep you warm", is what I told her
"I'll always keep you warm", is what I told her
I remember wishing on a four leaf clover
And writing your name all over my folders
"I'll always be around", is what I told her
"I'll always be around", is what I told her
I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
And you know I could never forget
All the trouble me and you got in
In the summer of 2006
Baby, you know I could never forget
I remember sneaking out and coming over
I remember freaking out, I wasn't sober (no)
"I hope I end up with you", is what I told her
"I'm gonna end up with you", is what I told her
I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
Is what, is what I told her

Chris Cornell - Preaching the End of the World

 Chris Cornell - Preaching the End of the World

Hello, I know there's someone out there who can understand
And who's feeling the same way as me
I'm twenty-four and I've got everything to live for
But I know now that it wasn't meant to be
'Cause all has been lost and all has been won
And there's nothing left for us to save
But now I know that I don't want to be alone today
So if you find that you've been feeling just the same

Call me now it's alright
It's just the end of the world
You need a friend in the world
'Cause you can't hide
So call and I'll get right back
If your intentions are pure
I'm seeking a friend for the end of the world

I've got a photograph I'll send it off today
And you will see that I am perfectly sane
Not for a lifetime or forever and a day
'Cause we know now that just won't be the case
There will be no commitment and no confessions
And no little secrets to keep
No little children or houses with roses just the
End of the world and me
'Cause all has been gone and all has been done
And there's nothing left for us to say
But we could be together as they blow it all away
And we can share in every moment as it breaks

Call me now it's alright
It's just the end of the world
You need a friend in the world
'Cause you can't hide
So call and I'll get right back
If your intentions are pure
I'm seeking a friend for the end of the world.

First Thessalonians Chapter Five


1    BUT of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2    For yourselves know perfectly that they day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3    For when they shall say, Peace and safety;  then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon
    a woman with child;  and they shall not escape.

4    But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5    Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day:  we are not of the night nor of darkness.

6    Therefore let us not sleep, as do others;  but let us watch and be sober.

7    For they that sleep sleep in the night;  and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8    But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love;  and for an helmet,
    the hope of salvation.

9    For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

10    Who died for us, that , whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

11    Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

12    And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord,
    and admonish you;

13    And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake.  And be at peace among yourselves.

14    Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak,
    be patient toward all men.

15    See that none render evil for evil unto any man;  but ever follow that which is good, both among
    yourselves, and to all men.

16    Rejoice evermore.

17    Pray without ceasing.

18    In every thing give thanks:  for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

19    Quench not the Spirit.

20    Despise not prophesyings.

21    Prove all things;  hold fast that which is good.

22    Abstain from all appearance of evil.

23    And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly;  and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be
    preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

24    Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

25    Brethren, pray for us.

26    Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.

27    I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.

28    The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.  Amen.

Manchester Orchestra - Bed Head (Echo Mountain Rooftop Session)

  Manchester Orchestra - Bed Head

Arguing with the dead
I’m not alone but it sure feels like someone left
Deaf notes and talking heads

Carrying on your debt
Blood on the bed head and volumes you left unsaid
Let ‘em talk and let it habit
Now I’m afraid you’re alone

Oh my god
Let me relinquish and start to distinguish, my past, and my time
You and I are holy fire, so…

Oh my god
Let me extinguish, the habit, the sequence, the loss, in my mind

Now I believe in the ghost

Clawing against your skin
Clutching my neck said “it’s all supposed to end like this”
You and I are panoramic
Now I’m afraid of the ghost

Oh my god
Let me relinquish and start to distinguish, my past, and my time
There is only love and fire, so…

Oh my god, let me extinguish the habit, the sequence, the loss, in my mind
Now I believe in the ghost

Right by the entrance you broke, finally reality’s taking its hold
You’re not who you were, but you can’t let it go
You’re not where you’re from, but you’re always alone
So I stick a flag in the ground, I think I now who I’m living for now
I am what I am, same above as the ground
It’s not what I want, but I’m figuring it out

Oh my god
Let me relinquish and start to distinguish, my past, and my time
You and I are holy fire, so…

Oh my god
Let me extinguish, the habit, the sequence, the loss, in my mind
Now I believe in the ghost

Masuka - guitar cover of Muse - Hysteria

Muse - Hysteria 

 It's bugging me
Grating me
And twisting me around
Yeah, I'm endlessly
Caving in
And turning inside out
'Cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
And I'm breaking out
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control
And it's holding me
Morphing me
And forcing me to strive
To be endlessly
Cold within
And dreaming I'm alive
'Cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
I'm not breaking down
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control
And I want you now
I want you now
I feel my heart implode
And I'm breaking out
Escaping now
Feeling my faith erode

Sam Barber - Hate it Here

 Sam Barber - Hate it Here

Shakey breathing subtle speaking it ain’t fierce but it shows 
Cause aimless meaning Sheetrock and ceiling have turned me into a ghost 
Endless working concrete poured in it all sinks to my chest
So burn the curtains cause I’m fairly certain there’s only darkness ahead

And I can’t escape the way
That you say I’ve changed
And now I hate the way
That you say my name

All I am and all I was is all I hear 
I’d give all just to turn back the years 
Where I’ve been what I’ve done is what I fear 
Most days I hate it here 
I hate it here 

Pictures hanging hung up by shameless ways that I’d never show
Bone dried ran through, I can’t even blame you for trading me for my ghost

And I can’t escape the way
That you say I’ve changed
And now I hate the way
That you say my name

All I am and all I was is all I hear 
I’d give all just to turn back the years 
Where I’ve been what I’ve done is what I fear 
Most days I hate it here
I hate it here

All I am and all I was is all I hear 
I’d give all just to turn back the years 
Where I’ve been what I’ve done is what I fear 
Most days I hate it here

 The Stockholm Robot - A Glass House, The Fool's Cage

I heard you say  you'd  solve the greatest mysteries, somehow, someway
from God, to ?, to loving, ?  to politics
But you still haven't gotten out of bed

Tucked in tightly you take refuge under covers, 
under hopes and wishes nightly,
but dreams do not develop without fearlessness
just step outside and face the biting winds

and when you step outside you feel the need to close your eyes
but keep them open wide 
you need to see the barriers to tear them down all  (or along?) the way

don't despair, shatter your glass house and you can breathe fresh air
destroy it with the stones you've held for years

 Throw your stones


throw your stones
throw your stones
throw your stones
throw your stones
throw your stones
throw your stones
throw your stones


One, two, three, four!


throw ohhh oohhh ohhhh ohhhh
throw oooohhhhh oohhhh ohhh  ohhhhh

Twenty One Pilots Cover The White Stripes "Seven Nation Army" | Rock Hall 2025 Induction

Twenty One Pilots "Seven Nation Army" 

 I'm gonna fight 'em all

A seven nation army couldn't hold me back

They're gonna rip it off

Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night

Because I can't forget

Back and forth through my mind

Behind a cigarette


And the message coming from my eyes

Says, "Leave it alone"


Don't wanna hear about it

Every single one's got a story to tell

Everyone knows about it

From the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell

And if I catch it coming back my way

I'm gonna serve it to you

And that ain't what you want to hear

But that's what I'll do


And the feeling coming from my bones

Says, "Find a home"


I'm going to Wichita

Far from this opera forevermore

I'm gonna work the straw

Make the sweat drip out of every pore

And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding

Right before the Lord

All the words are gonna bleed from me

And I will sing no more


And the stains coming from my blood

Tell me, "Go back home"

First Peter Chapter Four

1    FORASMUCH then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: 
    for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

2    That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

3    For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in 
    lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

4    Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

5    Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.

6    For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according
    to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

7    But the end of all things is at hand:  be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

8    And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves;  for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

9    Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

10    As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold 
    grace of God.

11    If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God;  if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability 
    which God giveth:  that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion
    for ever and ever.  Amen.

12    Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing
    happened unto you:

13    But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings;  that, when his glory shall be revealed, 
    ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

14    If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye;  for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you:
    on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

15    But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

16    Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed;  but let him glorify God on this behalf.

17    For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:  and if it first begin at us, what shall the end
    be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

18    And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

19    Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well
    doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Jonah Chapter Four

1    BUT it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.

2    And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my
    country?  Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish:  for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to
    anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

3    Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me;  for it is better for me to die than to live.


4    Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?

5    So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in
    the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.

6    And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his
    head, to deliver him from his grief.  So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.

7    But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.

8    And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind;  and the sun beat upon
    the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.

9    And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd?  and he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.

10    Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured neither madest it grow;
    which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

11    And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot
    discern between their right hand and their left hand;  and also much cattle?

Wilderado - The Worst of It

 Wilderado - The Worst of It

 i can see you on the lawn 
your hands are on your hips
looking like maybelle starr
looking like a kiss on the lips 
maybe i should get away
just get back in my car
oh, but i never do 
i just tell myself 
if that’s the worst of it
if that’s the whole thing
then maybe you and i can hang on
if i could offer you
just one thing 
it’d be a hand to hold all along 
right through the night 
and into the dawn 
i’ve been thinking over it
i’ve been combing through the dark
looking round with my hands 
looking for a place to park 
standing underneath the moon
i can see into your heart
oh and then there we are
searching for ourselves 
if that’s the worst of it
if that’s the whole thing
then maybe you and i can hang on
if i could offer you
just one thing 
it’d be a hand to hold all along 
right through the night 
and into the dawn 
if that’s the worst of it
if that’s the whole thing
then maybe you and i can hang on
if i could offer you
just one thing 
it’d be a hand to hold all along 
right through the night 
and into the dawn 
until the morning light
has come and gone

First Thessalonians Chapter Four


1    FURTHERMORE then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have
    received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

2    For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

3    For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 

4    That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

5    Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

6    That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter:  because that the Lord is the avenger
    of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

7    For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

8    He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

9    But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you:  for ye yourselves are taught of God
    to love one another.

10    And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia:  but we beseech you, brethren,
    that ye increase more and more;

11    And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we
    commanded you;

12    That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

13    But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not,
    even as others with have not hope

14    For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15    For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord
    shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16    For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the
    trump of God:  and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17    Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord
    in the air:  and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18    Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

AFI (AFIREINSIDE) - The Boy Who Destroyed The World

 AFI - The Boy Who Destroyed The World

Once there was a boy who had a vibrant glow
But as it goes, someone took it from him
One day through the rain, I heard him meekly moan
He said, will you wrap your arms around me?
 

As I'm falling
 

Remember when, remember when?
Remember when we were all so beautiful?
Never again, never again
But since then we've lost our glow
 

They said it hurt their eyes, but he would never know
That they were filled with regret as their own dissipated
He said, I now feel more desperately alone
Even though they wrapped their arms around me
 

As I'd fallen
 

Remember when, remember when?
Remember when we were all so beautiful?
Never again, never again
But since then we've lost our glow
 

Remember when, remember when?
Remember when we were all so beautiful?
Never again, never again
But since then we've lost our glow
 

They said it hurt their eyes
But he would never know
That they were claiming regret (as their)
As their own (as they)
As they dissipated (as they)
As they dissipated (as they)
As they dissipated

Blue October - Sound of Pulling Heaven Down

Blue October - Sound of Pulling Heaven Down 

Somewhere, far away from here
I saw stars, stars that I could reach (yeah)
It was a midnight, a silent twilight
Fell down, beyond the ocean beach (yeah)

I assemble all the sand that cover wedding beaches
To build a castle so your mom would have a place to stay
Behind the water slide and down the hill where heaven reaches
Land and time is left to float away (yeah)

So rest assured I have the key to every opening
To every wishing well deep that's enough to drink (drink)
I want to show you just how fascinating kissing is
When earth collides with all the space between (yeah)

I'm reaching farther than I ever have before
Leaving all who broke your heart upon the shore
I may be some sort of crazy
We may be some sort of crazy
But I swear on everything I have and more

So never look behind, there's spooky people breathing down
The world is ending there's a party by the bay
I'll wear my suit and tie, would I and I toss into
The way you put that smile upon my face (yeah)

Fill up the air balloon and ride with me
Yeah hell is just a parade (parade)
Make love like time and space Is ending
While befriending fade while luring way of putting us to shame

I'm reaching farther than I ever have before
Leaving all who broke your heart upon the shore
I may be some sort of crazy
We may be some sort of crazy
But I swear on everything I have and more

You make the sound of pulling heaven down
You brought the rain's romantic pour
You make the sound
You make the sound
Of pulling heaven down

I'm reaching farther than I ever have before
(god I've reached the top)
Leaving all who broke your heart upon the shore
I may be some sort of crazy
We may be some sort of crazy
But I swear on everything I have and more
(go go go go)

I'm reaching farther than I ever have before
(god I've reached the top)
Leaving all who broke your heart upon the shore
I may be some sort of crazy
We may be some sort of crazy
But I swear on everything I have and more
(go go go go)

First Peter Chapter Three

1    LIKEWISE, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands;  that, if any obey not the word, they also may
    without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

2    While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

3    Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of
    putting on of apparel;

4    But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek
    and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

5    For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being
    in subjection unto their own husbands:

6    Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord:  whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are
    not afraid with any amazement.

7    Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the
    weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life;  that your prayers be not hindered.

8    Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

9    Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing:  but contrariwise blessing;  knowing that ye are thereunto
    called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

10    For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they 
    speak no guile:

11    Let him eschew evil, and do good;  let him seek peace, and ensue it.

12    For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers:  but the face
    of the Lord is against them that do evil.

13    And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

14    But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye:  and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

15    But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:  and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you
    a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

16    Having a good conscience;  that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that
    falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

17    For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

18    For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put
    to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

19    By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

20    Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the
    ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

21    The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh,
    but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) but the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

22    Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God;  angels and authorities and powers being made 
    subject unto him.

    First Peter Chapter Three - KJV

Jonah Chapter Three

1    AND the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 

2    Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.

3    So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD.  Now Nineveh was an exceeding great
    city of three day's journey.

4    And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall
    be overthrown.


5    So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them
    even to the least of them.

6    For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered
    him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

7    And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles,
    saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything:  let them not feed, nor drink water:

8    But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God:  yea, let them turn every one
    from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.  

9    Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?

10    And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way;  and God repented of the evil, that he had said 
    that he would do unto them;  and he did it not.

The Strokes - Someday

 The Strokes - Someday

In many ways, they'll miss the good old days
Someday, someday
Yeah, it hurts to say, but I want you to stay
Sometimes, sometimes

When we was young, oh man, did we have fun
Always, always
Promises, they break before they're made
Sometimes, sometimes

Oh, My-ex says I'm lacking in depth
I will do my best
You say you wanna stay by my side
Darlin', your head's not right
See, alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes

Oh, someday...

No, I ain't wastin' no more time

And now my fears
They come to me in threes
So, I
Sometimes
Say, "Fate my friend,
You say the strangest things
I find, sometimes"

Oh, My-ex says I'm lacking in depth
Say I will try my best
You say you wanna stay by my side
Darlin', your head's not right
See, alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes

Oh, someday...

I ain't wasting no more time

OUT IN FRONT - "fLoAT"

 OUT IN FRONT - "fLoAT"  

Always orbit on yesterday
Snow in the middle of June
Right out the window we flew away
I shot us straight to the moon
 

Took us way too high
In the dark, lost my mind
I'm replaying what could be in the stars
In your eyes, said goodbye
Oh won't you please just
 

Take me home
It's getting hard to breathe out there
And I'm falling
On my own
Lost up in the atmosphere
Now I'm holding
Onto the memories
We wasted in the summer
Shot down the feelings
Forever going under
Let me go
Just let me float
 

Stuck in a circle with my mistakes
I get so caught in the blue
Bury my feelings down in the grave
I take it all out on you
Wasted so much time
In the dark, lost my mind
I'm replaying when you tore us apart
In your eyes, said goodbye
Oh won't you please just
 

Take me home
It's getting hard to breathe out there
And I'm falling
On my own
Lost up in the atmosphere
Now I'm holding
Onto the memories
We wasted in the summer
Shot down the feelings
Forever going under
Let me go
Just let me float
Just let me float
Just let me float
 

Just take me home
It's getting hard to breathe out there
And I'm falling
On my own
Lost up in the atmosphere
Now I'm holding
Onto the memories
We wasted in the summer
Shot down the feelings
Forever going under
Let me go
Just let me float
 

Let me float
Just let me float

Modest Mouse - Picking Dragons' Pockets

 Modest Mouse - Picking Dragons' Pockets

 I ain't your passenger now. I ain’t your passenger now, nor your equipment.
An auditory trick. They’re a boot that begs to be licked. I am the tarmac, I’m the pilot, I’m the flight path. Can’t get past that.

Well they’ll go crazy if you don’t go crazy somehow.
And I’m not crazy ‘bout what they’re so crazy ‘bout now

We’ve been eating our own. 
We’ve been eating our young.
We’ve been eating our own young.

Idle hands around the Devil's throat.
A suicide note that another hand wrote, and we’re used to this.

Well they’ll go crazy if you don’t go crazy somehow.
And I’m not crazy ‘bout what they’re so crazy ‘bout now

Picking dragons pockets and away we go! Breathe in poison, then you breathe out smoke 
It’s clear I’m looking for an anecdote. Well you pay for garbage and you’ve cast your vote.
I found out just how low I’d go. Came up from the bottom looking like a ghost. I tried to go to Aukland but just did not go, turns out when it rains it snows.

A pile of leaves in the wind. Fresh clothes on dirty skin. The means to meet no ends again.

 Picking Dragons pockets and away we go, my eyes are their eyes watch the show.
Facts aren’t facts on screens that glow but we’re a pretty tricky little animal.

Well I’m not crazy ‘bout what they’re so crazy 'bout now
And they’ll go crazy if you don’t go crazy somehow.

The looked at side of a microscope.
Voice to skull try to crush your soul.
But we’re a pretty tricky little animal.
Killers get killed. That’s just the way it goes.


Well something that I know for sure is LOVE MAKES LOVE and hate makes more.
For sure a tricky little animal. 
We’re a pretty tricky little animal. 

Well something that I know for sure is LOVE MAKES LOVE and hate makes more.
For sure a tricky little animal. 
We’re a pretty tricky little animal.


I ain’t your passenger now. I ain’t your passenger now I’m just equipment.
 

We’ve been eating our own. 
We’ve been eating our young.
We’ve been eating our own young.


twenty one pilots - Fairly Local

 twenty one pilots - Fairly Local

I’m fairly local, I’ve been around,
I’ve seen the streets you're walking down,
I’m fairly local, good people now.

I’m evil to the core,
What I shouldn't do I will,
They say I’m emotional,
What I want to save I’ll kill,
Is that who I truly am?
I truly don’t have a chance,
Tomorrow I’ll keep a beat,
And repeat yesterday’s dance.

Yo, this song will never be on the radio,
Even if my clique were to pick and the people were to vote,
It’s the few, the proud, and the emotional,
Yo, you, bulletproof in black like a funeral,
The world around us is burning but we’re so cold,
It’s the few, the proud, and the emotional.

I’m not evil to the core,
What I shouldn't do I will fight,
I know I’m emotional,
What I want to save I will try,
I know who I truly am,
I truly do have a chance,
Tomorrow I’ll switch the beat,
To avoid yesterday’s dance.

Jimmy Eat World - Something Loud

 Jimmy Eat World - Something Loud

I walked around for days
In a familiar place
This time I finally let myself own every small feeling
There was the one who got away
There was a first for everything
Never a second guess if I was right where I should be
Do you know what I mean?

All night …
Do you still feel part of something loud?
Are you such a different person now?
A dream that never was
An idea you think you come from
All night …
When you can’t look at the day

I had it figured out
The way it really is
In growing up we added just too much complexity
Friends at the show in ’95
Miss every one of them
But there’s a moment that you die
Or you move on to live
Every one of us did

All night …
Do you still feel part of something loud?
Are you such a different person now?
A dream that never was
An idea you think you come from
All night …
When you can’t look at the day

I had what I had 
And g- damn
I would change 
Not a single thing
So smile, wave
Then let go

All night …
Do you still feel part of something loud?
Are you such a different person now?
A dream that never was
An idea you think you come from
All night …
When you can’t look at the day

Titus Chapter Three

 1    PUT them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

2    To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

3    For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living
    in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

4    But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

5    Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing
    of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

6    Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

7    That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

8    This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed
    in God might be careful to maintain good works.  These things are good and profitable unto men.

9    But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law;  for they are
    unprofitable and vain.

10    A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

11    Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

12    When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis:  for I have 
    determined there to winter.

13    Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

14    And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

15    All that are with me salute thee.  Greet them that love us in the faith.  Grace be with you all.  Amen.

    Titus Chapter Three - KJV

Kodaline - We Were Only Young

 Kodaline - We Were Only Young

Walking alone in the city, 
hearing the sound of the rain,
I thought that I saw you on 5th street, 
I suddenly missed you again 
Remember the night in the taxi? 
You said you were moving away.
Holding your hand in the backseat,
I wish I could call you and say…
 
There are things that I could’ve done better 
Things I wish I had said but I never
got the chance now I know that the moment is gone 
 
Every little word you said you know I meant it 
every little touch you gave you know I felt it 
we were only young 
we were only young 
Heavy on my heart I wish it never ended,
even at the start I didn’t understand that
you were moving on, 
you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
 
Oh oh 
Oh oh 
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s.
 
I know if I make it to eighty, 
I’ll always remember your name, 
Cause you came along and you changed me, 
I guess what I’m trying to says…
 
There are things that I could’ve done better 
Things I wish I had said but I never
got the chance now I know that the moment is gone 
 
Every little word you said you know I meant it 
every little touch you gave you know I felt it 
we were only young 
we were only young 
Heavy on my heart I wish it never ended,
even at the start I didn’t understand that
you were moving on, 
you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
 
Gone 
Gone 
You don’t know what you’ve got into it’s gone 
Gone 
Gone 
We were only young 
 
Every little word you said you know I meant it 
every little touch you gave you know I felt it 
we were only young 
we were only young 
Heavy on my heart I wish it never ended,
even at the start I didn’t understand that
you were moving on, 
you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone

 Giovannie and The Hired Guns - Over and Over

There you go poking
And creeping as I lie in my bed
Just like prescriptions
The only thing that eases my head

It’s final
I don’t think that I can try
Maybe this time
I won’t say goodbye

CHORUS
I don’t deserve
To break my heart again
I don’t deserve this
Again

Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again

Signs of depression
Drag me back to these pills once again
You’re memories fading
And I’m scared I won’t see you again

It’s final
I don’t think that I can try
But maybe this time
I won’t say goodbye

CHORUS
I don’t deserve
To break my heart again
I don’t deserve this
Again

Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again

CHORUS
I don’t deserve
To break my heart again
I don’t deserve this
Again

Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again

P.O.D. - Southtown 

Welcome to hard times 
Back again like it's never been for the first time 
It seem to mess with my head when I realize what it takes 
Can I relate with whatever but never will it drive me to hate 
Could be the next guy that you take before I wake 
Now I lay me down to sleep eyes tight when I pray this here is real life 
Circumstances make you think should I be counting my blessings 
The next second my eyes blink
Here in the southtown 
You know that kids don't play 
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day 
If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine 
And thank God that I made it alive 
Here in the southtown 
You know that kids don't play 
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day 
If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine 
And thank God that I made it alive
One love it's easier said than done 
Can I rise above anything that gets in my way 
Like words you say, you let your tongue get loose 
And when push comes to shove, I'm not used to walking away 
I keep on looking up, because these times are getting tough 
Tomorrow's gone and it's the same old song 
Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up 
A life to shine, you'r the diamond in this rough
Here in the southtown 
You know that kids don't play 
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day 
If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine 
And thank God that I made it alive 
Here in the southtown 
You know that kids don't play 
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day 
If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine 
And thank God that I made it alive
It ain't got to be like this 
Don't want to throw up my fist 
Don't want to be like this 
Don't want to throw up my fist 
I must resist, it ain't got to be like this 
I must resist, it ain't got to be like this 
I must resist, it ain't got to be like this 
I must resist, it ain't got to be like this
Here in the southtown 
You know that kids don't play 
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day 
If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine 
And thank God that I made it alive 
Here in the southtown 
You know that kids don't play 
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day 
If I make it back this time, got to hold what is mine 
And thank God that I made it alive

First Thessalonians Chapter Three


1    WHEREFORE when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;

2    And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ,
    to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:

3    That no man should be moved by these afflictions:  for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

4    For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation;  even as it came to pass, 
    and ye know.

5    For this cause, when I could no long forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter
    have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.

6    But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity,
    and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to se us, as we also to see you:

7    Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:

8    For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

9    For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes
    before God;

10    Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking
    in your faith?

11    Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.

12    And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men,
    even as we do toward you:

13    To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father,
    at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

Zephaniah Chapter Three

1    WOE to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!  

2    She obeyed not the voice;  she received not correction;  she trusted not in the LORD;  she drew not near
    to her God.

3    Her princes within her are roaring lions;  her judges are evening wolves;  they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.

4    Her prophets are light and treacherous persons:  her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have
    done violence to the law.

5    The just LORD is in the midst thereof;  he will not do iniquity:  every morning doth he bring his judgment
    to light,  he faileth not;  but the unjust knoweth no shame.

6    I have cut off the nations:  their towers are desolate;  I made their streets waste, that none passeth by:
    their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.

7    I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction;  so their dwelling should not be cut off,
    howsoever I punished them:  but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.

8    Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey:  for my determination
    is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all
    my fierce anger:  for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

9    For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD,
    to serve him with one consent.

10    From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring
    mine offering.

11    In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me:
    for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more
    be haughty because of my holy mountain.

12    I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.

13    The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies;  neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in
    their mouth:  for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

14    Sing, O daughter of Zion;  shout, O Israel;  be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.

15    The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy:  the king of Israel, even the LORD,
    is in the midst of thee:  thou shalt not see evil any more.

16    In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not:  and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.

17    The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty;  he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy;
    he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

18    I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach
    of it was a burden.

19    Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee:  and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that
    was driven out;  and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.

20    At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you:  for I will make you a name and
    a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.

Fuel - Bittersweet

 Fuel - Bittersweet

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

 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

Slip back out of whack,
At your best.
It's a nightmare,
So I'm joining the army.

Know how folks back out,
I'll still call.
Will you wait for me now?

We've got the right to live, fight to use it,
Got everything and you can just choose it,
I won't just be a puppet on a string.

Don't go that way.
I'll wait for you.

And I'm tired of all your friends Listening at your door
And I want,
What's better for you.
So long, my friend
And adversary.
Oh, but I'll wait for you.


Get dressed, jump out of bed
You do it best.
Are you OK?
I've been out around this town Everybody's singing the same song for ten years.

I'll wait for you.
Will you wait for me too?

And they sacrifice their lives, And they're lying about those odds.
Oh they've said it a billion times,
And they'll say it again.
So long, my adversary
And friend.

Don't go that way.
I'll wait for you.

I'm tired of all your friends, Knocking down your door.
Get up in the morning and give it your all.

So long, my friend
And adversary.

Oh I'll wait for you.

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.

Anson Seabra - Trying My Best 

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
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
The perfect road to go down 
but I know

I'm trying my best
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

I'm trying my best
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

 Fall Out Boy - Uma Thurman

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

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 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
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

You'll find your way
And may death find you alive
Take me down the line
In Gem City we turn the tide
You'll find your way
And may death find you alive
Take me down the line
In Gem City we turn the tide

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

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
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 

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.
