Audioslave - I Am the Highway

 Audioslave - I Am the Highway

Pearls and swine bereft of me

Long and weary my road has been

I was lost in the cities

Alone in the hills

No sorrow or pity

For leaving

I feel



I am not your rolling wheels

I am the highway

I am not your carpet ride

I am the sky



Friends and liars

Don't wait for me

Cause I'll get on

All by myself



I put millions of miles

Under my heels

And still too close to you

I feel



I am not your rolling wheels

I am the highway

I am not your carpet ride

I am the sky

I am not your blowing wind

I am the lightning

I am not your autumn moon

I am the night

The night

TOOL - The Pot

 TOOL - The Pot

Who are you to wave your finger?
You must have been out your head
Eye hole deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead

Rob the grave to snow the cradle
Then burn the evidence down
Soapbox, house of cards, and glass
So don't go tossin' your stones around

You must have been high
You must have been high
You must have been
Foot in mouth, and head up ass
So what you talkin' 'bout?
Difficult to dance 'round this one
Till you pull it out, boy

You must have been so high
You must have been so high

Steal, burrow, reefer
Save your shady inference
Kangaroo done hung the juror with the innocent

Now you're weeping shades of cozen indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been high, high
You must have been high, high

Who are you to wave your finger?
So full of it
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
F-ing hypocrite

Liar, lawyer, mirror show me
What's the difference?
Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent

Now you're weeping shades of cozen indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye, eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been

So who are you to wave your finger?
Who are you to wave your fat fingers at me?
You must have been out your mind

Weeping shades of indigo
Trapped without a reason
Weeping shades of indigo


Liar, lawyer, mirror for you
What's the difference?
Kangaroo be stoned
He's guilty as the government

Now you're weeping shades of cozen indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye, eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle

You must have been high, high, high, high

Eyeballs deep in bloody waters
You're balls deep in muddy waters
Ganja? Please!
You must have been out your mind

Soul Asylum - Runaway Train

 Soul Asylum - Runaway Train

[ Verse 1]
Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

[Pre-Chrous 1]
It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

[Chorus]
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

[Verse 2]
Can you help me remember how to smile?
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on Earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am, just drowning in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And everything seems cut and dry
Day and night
Earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

[Chorus]
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
A little out of touch, a little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain

[Chorus]
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

[Outro]
Runaway train never coming back
Runaway train tearing up the track
Runaway train burning in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

 

 

Foo Fighters - The Pretender

 Foo Fighters - The Pretender

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began


Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones come marchin' in again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are at the ready
Are you ready?


I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance, that whole defense
Spinning infinity, but
The wheel is spinning me, it's never-ending, never-ending
Same old story


What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?


What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?


In time, or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent, we're temporary, temporary
Same old story

 


What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?


What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender? Oh


I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face, mirroring your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right, I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that'll take you down, bring you to your knees


So, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?


Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?


What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?


What if I say I'm not like the others? (Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? (You know they all)
You're the pretender (pretend)
What if I say I will never surrender?


What if I say I'm not like the others? (Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? (You know they all)
You're the pretender (pretend)
What if I say I will never surrender?


So, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

As he came into the window
Was a sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
She was sitting at the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down
It was her doom
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
Would you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sign at a window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
Came into her apartment
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
And then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down, it was your doom
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
You've been hit by
You've been struck by
A smooth criminal
So they came into the outway
It was Sunday, but a black day
I could make a salutation
Sounding heartbeat, intimidation
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
Would you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sign at a window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
Came into her apartment
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
And then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down, it was your doom
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
You've been hit by
You've been struck by
A smooth criminal
Annie, are you okay? (Oh no)
Would you tell us that you're okay? (Oh no)
There's a sign at a window (oh no)
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie (oh no)
Came into her apartment (oh no)
Left the bloodstains on the carpet (oh no)
And then you ran into the bedroom (oh no)
You were struck down, it was your doom
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?

Blue October - Hate Me

 Blue October - Hate Me

I have to block out thoughts of you
So I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach
Leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape
To remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head that make a
Porno feel like home

There's a burning in my pride
A nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you
Will you, never call again?
And will you never say that you love me
Just to put it in my face
And will you never try to reach me
It is I that wanted space

Hate Me Today
Hate Me Tomorrow
Hate Me So You Can Finally
See What's Good
For You

I'm sober now for three whole months
It's one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart
Is the one thing I won't touch again
In my sick way I want to thank you
For holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself
You were trying to stop the fight

You never doubted my warped opinions
On things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself
When it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so f-ing far away
That I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart
To leave me behind

Hate Me Today
Hate Me Tomorrow
Hate Me For All The Things
I Didn't Do
For You
Hate Me In Ways
Yeah, Ways Hard To Swallow
Hate Me So You Can Finally
See What's Good
For You

And with a sad heart I say "Bye." to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street
For every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy,
I never was a man
Til I saw your blue eyes cry,
And I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling, "Make it go away!"
Just make a smile come back and shine
Just like it used to be
And then she whispered, "How could you do this to me?"

Hate Me Today
Hate Me Tomorrow
Hate Me For All The Things
I Didn't Do
For You
Hate Me In Ways
Yeah, Ways Hard To Swallow
Hate Me So You Can Finally
See What's Good
For You

 

The Rasmus - In the Shadows

 The Rasmus - In the Shadows

No sleep, no sleep until I'm done with finding the answer
Won't stop, won't stop before I find the cure for this cancer
And sometimes I feel like going down and so disconnected
But somehow I know that i am haunted to be wanted
I've been watching, I've been waiting in the shadows
For my time
I've been searching, I've been living for tomorrows
All my life

They say that I must learn to kill before I can feel safe
But I, I'd rather kill myself than turn into their slave
And sometimes I feel that iIshould go and play with the thunder
Cause somehow I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder

Lately I've been walking, walking in circles, watching, waiting for something
Feel me, touch me, heal me, come take me higher

I've been watching, I've been waiting in the shadows
For my time
I've been searching, I've been living for tomorrows
All my life

 

AFI - Miss Murder (short version)

 AFI - Miss Murder

 

Hey, Miss Murder, can I—
Hey, Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I take my life?

Whoa-oh-oh

With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look can break your heart.
The stars that pierce the sky;
He left them all behind.
We’re left to wonder why
He left us all behind.

Hey, Miss Murder, can I—
Hey, Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I take my life?

Whoa-oh-oh
oh

Dreams of his crash won’t pass
Oh, how they all adored him
Beauty will last when spiraled down.

The stars that mystify
He left them all behind.
And how his children cried
He left us all behind.

Hey, Miss Murder, can I—
Hey, Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I take my life?

Whoa-oh-oh

What's the hook, the twist within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it.
That the ghost you love, your ray of light will fizzle out without hope.
We're the empty set just floating through, wrapped in skin
Ever searching for what we were promised.
Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go,
Who would ever let us put our filthy hands upon it?

Hey, Miss Murder, can I—
Hey, Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I take my life?

Whoa-oh-oh

Hey, Miss Murder, can I—
Hey, Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I take my life?

Whoa-oh-oh

Citizen Soldier - Feelings Aren't Forever

 Citizen Soldier - Feelings Aren't Forever

It won't always feel like this


On the edge of another spiral
feel it coming and the panic's creeping in, creeping in

You've tried everything to break this cycle
and you don't know if you can do it all again, all again

it's getting loud deep in your mind
so you start shutting down your human side
truth is some hurricanes don't ever die 

until you let it take you to the eye


the only way out is through 
but I'll be waiting there for you

breathe with me til it passes
let this burn til it's ashes

there's no storm that you can't weather
so hold on
feelings aren't forever

hold me tight 
til it loosens
it's alright this is human 

cuz every time that you don't surrender
 you're living proof
 feelings aren't forever

on the verge of another breakdown
tryna face what you buried to survive, to survive

you avoid it cause your'e so afriad of
 getting stuck in eternal fight or flight, fight or flight

the nervous system's compromised
 lost in disturbing pictures, hypnotised
 it feels like just remembering you could die 
know that this all looks different on the other side, 
you take control back from it very time you

breathe with me

til it passes let this burn til it's ashes
there's no storm that you can't weather 
so hold on feelings aren't forever
hold me tight til it loosens 
it's alright this is human 

cuz every time that you don't surrender
you're living proof feelings aren't forever
keep shifting eyes from side to side
absorbing truth unlearning lies
there's consolation in confrontation
just go with that and notice this

no new beliefs til you relive 
there's consolation in confrontation

breathe with me
til it passes let this burn til it's ashes
there's no storm that you can't weather 
so hold on feelings aren't forever
hold me tight til it loosens 
it's alright you're just human 

cuz every time that you don't surrender
you're living proof feelings aren't forever
feelings aren't forever

feelings aren't forever

Måneskin - THE LONELIEST

 

Måneskin - THE LONELIEST

 

You'll be the saddest part of me
A part of me that will never be mine
It's obvious
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest
You're still the oxygen I breathe
I see your face when I close my eyes
It's torturous
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

There's a few lines that I have wrote
In case of death, that's what I want
That's what I want
So don't be sad when I'll be gone
There's just one thing I hope you know
I loved you so
'Cause I don't even care about the time I've got left here
The only thing I know now is that I want to spend it
With you, with you
Nobody else here
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

You'll be the saddest part of me
A part of me that will never be mine
It's obvious
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest
You're still the oxygen I breathe
I see your face when I close my eyes
It's torturous
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

I'm sorry but I gotta go
If you'll ever miss me
Give this song another go
And I just keep on thinking how you made me feel better
And all the crazy little things that we did together
In the end, in the end, it doesn't matter
If tonight is gonna be the loneliest

You'll be the saddest part of me
A part of me that will never be mine
It's obvious
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest
You're still the oxygen I breathe
I see your face when I close my eyes
It's torturous
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

[Guitar solo]

You'll be the saddest part of me
A part of me that will never be mine
It's obvious
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest
You'll be the saddest part of me
A part of me that will never be mine
It's obvious
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest
You're still the oxygen I breathe
I see your face when I close my eyes
It's torturous
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye

Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye 

 I've been waiting

I've been waiting for this moment all my life

But it's not quite right



And this 'real'

It's impossible if possible

At who's blind word

So clear but so unheard



I've been waiting

I've been waiting for this silence all night long

It's just a matter of time



To appear sad

With the same 'ol decent lazy eye

Fixed to rest on you

Aim free and so untrue



Everyone's so intimately rearranged

Everyone can focus clearly with such shine



Everyone's so intimately rearranged

Everyone can focus clearly with such shine



Lost and loaded

Still the same 'ol decent lazy eye

Straight through your gaze

That's why i said i relate

I said we relate

It's so fun to relate



It's the room the sun and the sky

The room the sun and the sky



I've been waiting

I've been waiting for this moment...

The Sundays - Here's Where The Story Ends

The Sundays - Here's Where The Story Ends

People I know, places I go
Make me feel tongue-tied
I can see how people look down
They're on the inside

Here's where the story ends

People I see, weary of me
Showing my good side
I can see how, people look down
I'm on the outside
Here's where the story ends
Ooh, here's where the story ends

It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
Oh, I never should have said the books that you read
Were all I loved you for
It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes me wonder why
And it's the memories of the shed that make me turn red
Surprise, surprise, surprise

Crazy, I know, places I go
Make me feel so tired
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside

Here's where the story ends
Ooh, here's where the story ends

It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
And who ever would've thought the books that you brought
Were all I loved you for?
Oh, the devil in me said, "Go down to the shed"
I know where I belong
But the only thing I ever really wanted to say
Was wrong, was wrong, was wrong

It's that little souvenir of a colorful year
Which makes me smile inside
So I cynically, cynically say the world is that way
Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise

Here's where the story ends
Ooh, here's where the story ends

 

You Am I - Damage

 

You Am I - Damage

I woke up with a war in my head,An old man's grumble,And an extra space in the bed,And if ol' John Prine can't sing the next line,
'Bout something that can make me smile.Gonna have be content,To stare at your baby photos 'til it makes some sense,And were you ever mine anyway?
Speak up as I drop away.I wrote down what I think on the head of a matchstick,Wrote it all short and sweet, all that made sense to me,Burnt six thousand minds, sorry for all times,
I just can't add up the sums to find the damage we've done.I fell for you like a dog from a tree,Keep a straight stitched face,As the ground makes a bed for me,
I keep my eye where I fell, sends no replies.You can run so long from sadness,That you're never at home for the fun,I can't make excuses,
For the short hand abuses,Thank God it ain't a Sunday night.I wrote down what I think on the head of a matchstick,Wrote it all short and sweet, all that made sense to me,
Burnt six thousand minds, sorry for all times,I just can't add up the sums to find the damage we've done.I wrote down what I think on the head of a matchstick,Wrote it all short and sweet, all that made sense to me,
Burning out in the lights, sorry for all times,I just can't see how it comes,
The damage we've done,The damage we've done,The damage we've done.

Proverbs Chapter 15


1    A SOFT answer turneth away wrath:  but grievous words stir up anger.

2    The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright:  but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

3    The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

4    A wholesome tongue is a tree of life:  but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

5    A fool despiseth his father's instruction:  but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.

6    In the house of the righteous is much treasure:  but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.

7    The lips of the wise disperse knowledge:  but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.

8    The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD:  but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

9    The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD:  but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

10    Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way:  and he that hateth reproof shall die.

11    Hell and destruction are before the LORD:  how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

12    A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance:  but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

14    The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge:  but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

15    All the days of the afflicted are evil:  but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

16    Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.

17    Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

18    A wrathful man stirreth up strife:  but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

19    The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns:  but the way of the righteous is made plain.

20    A wise son maketh a glad father:  but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

21    Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom:  but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.

22    Without counsel purposes are disappointed:  but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

23    A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth:  and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

24    The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.

25    The LORD will destroy the house of the proud:  but he will establish the border of the widow.

26    The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD:  but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

27    He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

28    The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

29    The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart:  and a good report maketh the bones fat.

31    The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.

32    He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul:  but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.

33    The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

Megadeth - Tears in a Vial

 Megadeth - Tears in a Vial

This may seem all too confusing
How I could walk away from something so rare
But you see it got too demanding, yeah
And I just didn't care, I just didn't care, if I cared, if I cared

Lately, I've been left wanting, but not wanting you
Attraction that once was is no longer there, ooh
And it sucks to be taken for granted
When the veil is drawn so there is only air

I had to walk away
Give up something I love
For what I loved even more
And save my tears for you

[Solo - Mustaine]

Everything has lost its meaning; I had to let it go
To find myself, myself, and start something new, brand new
Forced to look deep in the mirror, face who I really am
Now it's just me, 'cause I can't afford you

I had to walk away
Give up something I love
For what I loved even more
And save my tears for you

I gave up something I love
For what I loved even more
And save my tears for you
In a vial and walked away

[Solo - Mustaine]
[Solo - Poland]

You were so beautiful to look upon
I could see the light in your smile
Your eyes were the windows into your soul
Your body was heavenly just like the sky

[Solo - Mustaine]

Until all your good looks betrayed you, which wasn't much
Counted on your counterfeit smiles for too long
Your eyes are empty windows, broken
The body may be here but the soul is gone

I saved my tears in a vial
From everything wicked that you did, that you said
To send away, buried with your love
So many tears in a vial, now that you're gone, and now that you're dead

 

 

Papa Roach - HELP

  Papa Roach - HELP

 

I think I need help
I'm drowning in myself

Did someone turn the lights out
Or is it just another dark cloud in my head?
Cause I'm cut deep, my heart won't beat
Deep down low it's killing me
If I wanna scratch out yesterday
I've got so much I need to say
(I've got so much I need to say)

I think I need help
Cause I'm drowning in myself
It's sinking in, I can't pretend
That I ain't been through hell
I think I need help
I'm drowning in myself

They're preying on my weakness
Believe it
I'm thinking to myself "No not again"
And I won't keep listening
When temptation's creeping in
If I wanna make it another day
I've got so much I need to say
(I've got so much I need to say)

I think I need help
Cause I'm drowning in myself
It's sinking in, I can't pretend
That I ain't been through hell
I think I need help
I'm drowning in myself

(I'm drowning in myself)

I think I need help
Cause I've put myself through hell

I think I need help
Cause I'm drowning in myself
It's sinking in, I can't pretend
That I ain't been through hell
I think I need help

I think I need help
I think I need help

Proverbs 24

1    BE not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

2    For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

3    Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

4    And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

5    A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

6    For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war:  and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

7    Wisdom is too high for a fool:  he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

8    He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

9    The thought of foolishness is sin:  and the scorner is an abomination to men.

10    If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

11    If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;

12    If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it?
        and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it?  and shall not he render to every man
        according to his works?

13    My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:

14    So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul:  when thou hast found it, then there
        shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

15    Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:

16    For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again:  but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

17    Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

18    Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

19    Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked:

20    For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

21    My son, fear thou the LORD and the king:  and meddle not with them that are given to change:

22    For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

23    These things also belong to the wise.  It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.

24    He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse,
        nations shall abhor him:

25    But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

26    Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.

27    Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.

28    Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.

29    Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me:  I will render to the man according to his work.

30    I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

31    And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone
        wall thereof was broken down.

32    Then I saw, and considered it well:  I looked upon it, and received instruction.

33    Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

34    So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

Lord Huron - The Yawning Grave, Frozen Pines

 Lord Huron - The Yawning Grave, Frozen Pines

The Yawning Grave


I know the rain like the clouds know the sky

I speak to birds and tell them where to fly

I sing the songs that you hear on the breeze

I write the names of the rocks and the trees


Oh, you fool, there are rules I am coming for you

Darkness brings evil things, oh, the reckoning begins


I tried to warn you when you were a child

I told you not to get lost in the wild

I sent you omens and all kinds of signs

I taught you melodies, poems, and rhymes


Oh, you fool, there are rules, I am coming for you

(You can run but you can't escape)

Darkness brings evil things, oh, the reckoning begins

(You will open the yawning grave)


Oh, you fool, there are rules, I am coming for you

(You can run but you can't escape)

Darkness brings evil things, oh, the reckoning begins

(You will open the yawning grave)





Frozen Pines


Deep into the night

With the moonlight as my guide

I go wander through the pines and make my way to nature's shrine


And I look up to the sky

And I know you're still alive

But I wonder where you are, I call your name into the dark


I wake up in the morning, oh, and I don't know where I've been

All alone on a mountainside and I'm huddled in the wind

And it feels like I've been away for an era but nothing has changed at all

And it feels like I've been with you, oh, but what did we do and where have you gone


On the night you disappeared

Oh, if I had seen it clear

But a strange light in the sky was shining right into my eyes


There was no one else in sight

Just the endless frozen pines

But I wonder all they know 'cause they don't die and they don't grow


I am ready to follow you even though I don't know where

I will wait in the night until you decide to take me there

'Cause I know I don't wanna stay here forever, it's time to be movin' on

Oh I don't want to be the only one living when all of my friends are gone


I will be waiting for you, on the other side of the frozen pines

I'm gonna find a way through, there's another life beyond the line

I will be waiting for you, on the other side of the frozen pines

I'm gonna find a way through, there's another life beyond the line

 

Ellie Holcomb - Where Can I Go - Psalm 139

 Ellie Holcomb -  Where Can I Go - Psalm 139 

 

 Lord you have searched me and know me
You know when I sit and when I rise
You know when I go out
You know when I lay down at night
You're familiar with all of my ways, Lord
Before a word is ever on my tongue
You know it completely, oh Lord
You hem me in both behind and before
It's too wonderful

Where can I go from your spirit
Where can I flee from your presence
If I go up to the heavens, you are there
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on the far side of the sea
Even there your hand will guide me
Even there your hand will guide me
Your right hand will hold me fast
Your right hand will hold me fast

If I say "Surely the darkness will hide me"
And the light become night all around me
Even the darkness will not be dark to you
Yeah the night it will shine like the daytime
For the darkness is as light to you
For you created my inmost being
Knit together in my mother's womb
It's too wonderful

Where can I go from your spirit
Where can I flee from your presence
If I go up to the heavens, you are there
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on the far side of the sea
Even there your hand will guide me
Even there your hand will guide me
Your right hand will hold me fast
Your right hand will hold me fast

Where can I go from your spirit
Where can I flee from your presence
If I go up to the heavens, you are there
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on the far side of the sea
Even there your hand will guide me
Even there your hand will guide me
Your right hand will hold me fast
Your right hand will hold me fast

Your right hand will hold me fast

 Hail, the God song
All trill to the tune, devout reprise
Hail, the eon
We knelt on this slab, the blessed people

We fought for the fable, ah
But instead we burn
And in the end of time, oh
Left an empty urn

Hail the maker
A noisy device to take the toll
God forsake her
For the songs that she sang have left God's acre

We fought for the fable, ah
But instead we burn
And in the end of time, ah
Left an empty urn
We fought for the fable, ah
But instead we burn
And in the end of time, ah

Badflower - Family

 Badflower - Family

 

Taste bitter on the guilty tongue
It's hard to see I'm the chosen one
Fake friends with a camera phone
Ugly, drunk, cold, and missing home

This home of mine
I see it in my dreams
Where everyone looks happy
And everyone still likes me
This home of mine
I miss it all the time

What happened to this family?
What happened to this family?
(Have I let you down?)

Texts, calls, hugs, birthday cards
Being thoughtful can be so hard
First fifteen years I'm the favorite son
Last fifteen years I'm thе hated one


This heart of minе
Gets blacker all the time
Affection makes me nauseous
Believe me, I don't want this
I hurt my blood tonight
I made my sisters cry
I never say, I love you
Even though I want to

I'm just my father's son
My mother's kid
A shitty brother
I'm nobody's friend
This is all my fault
I only make you cry
I don't deserve this family
(You're better off without me)

'Cause I let you down
And I lost my f---ing mind
Then everything got messy
And everyone got angry

I cursed my blood tonight
It happens all the time
Is everyone against me?
Has everyone g--damned me?

What happened to this family?
What happened to this family?
What happened to this family?
What happened to this family?

Don't hate me
Don't hate me
Don't let me drown

I hate goodbyes
So cringey, I could die
We only say, I love you
'Cause that's what we're supposed to
And most families lie

But I meant it every time
Then treat you like you're worthless
I never said I'm perfect 

Echosmith - Goodbye

 Echosmith - Goodbye

Try not to let the burn become a scar
What's left of me is only broken parts
You take the pretty and color it dark
My only grievance is a broken heart
When you finally find yourself
Tell him I said, tell him I said
When you finally find yourself
Tell him I said, tell him I said
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
You're riding paper airplanes
Can't see the string
You cover up the poison, with poetry
You traded roses and left me sorry
My only grievance is a broken dream
When you finally find yourself
Tell him I said, tell him I said
When you finally find yourself
Tell him I said, tell him I said
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
Oh-oh-oh
Tell him I said, tell him I said, oh-oh-oh
Tell him I said, tell him I said, oh-oh-oh
Tell him I said, tell him I said, oh-oh-oh
Tell him I said, tell him I said
When you finally find yourself (find yourself)
Tell him I said, tell him I said
When you finally find yourself
Tell him I said, tell him I said
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"

Second Timothy


    Chapter One

1    PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life
      which is in Christ Jesus,

2    To Timothy, my dearly beloved son:  Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father
      and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3    I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without
      ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;

4    Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

5    When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in
      thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

6    Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee
      by the putting on of my hands.

7    For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

8    Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner:
      but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

9    Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, 
      but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus
      before the world began,

10    But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath 
        abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

11    Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

12    For the which cause I also suffer these things:  nevertheless I am not ashamed:  for I
        know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have
        committed unto him against that day.

13    Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love
        which is in Christ Jesus.

14    That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which 
        dwelleth in us.

15    This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are
        Phygellus and Hermogenes.

16    The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was
        not ashamed of my chain:

17    But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.

18    The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day:  and in how
        many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.


    Chapter Two

1    THOU therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

2    And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit
      thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

3    Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

4    No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please
      him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

5    And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

6    The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

7    Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

8    Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according
      to my gospel:

9    Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

10    Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the 
        salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

11    It is a faithful saying:  For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

12    If we suffer, we shall also reign with him:  if we deny him, he also will deny us:

13    If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful:  he cannot deny himself.

14    Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that
        they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

15    Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to
        be ashamed; rightly dividing the word of truth.

16    But shun profane and vain babblings:  for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

17    And their word will eat as doth a canker:  of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

18    Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already;
        and overthrow the faith of some.

19    Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth
        them that are his.  And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

20    But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but of wood and of earth;
        and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

21    If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified,
        and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

22    Flee also youthful lusts:  but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call
        on the Lord out of a pure heart.

23    But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

24    And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gently unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

25    In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give
        them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

26    And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive
        by him at his will.

    Chapter Three

1    THIS know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2    For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
      disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3    Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers
      of those that are good,

4    Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5    Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof:  from such turn away.

6    For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden
      sins, led away with divers lusts,

7    Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8    Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth:
      men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

9    But they shall proceed no further:  for their folly shall be manifest unto all men,
      as theirs also was.

10    But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering,
        charity, patience,

11    Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra;
        what persecutions I endured:  but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

12    Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

13    But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

14    But continue thou in the things which thou has learned and hast been assured of,
        knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15    And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee
        wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16    All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
        for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17    That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.


    Chapter Four

1    I CHARGE thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the
      quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2    Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with
      all longsuffering and doctrine.

3    For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their
      own lusts shall heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4    And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5    But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make
      full proof of thy ministry.

6    For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

7    I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

8    Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the 
      righteous judge, shall give me at that day:  and not to me only, but to all them also
      that love his appearing.

9    Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

10    For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto
        Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

11    Only Luke is with me.  Take Mark, and bring him with thee:  for he is profitable to me
        for the ministry.

12    And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.

13    The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books,
        but especially the parchments.

14    Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil:  the Lord reward him according to his works:

15    Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.

16    At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me:  I pray God that it
        may not be laid to their charge.

17    Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching
        might be fully known, and that all the gentiles might hear:  and I was delivered out of the 
        mouth of the lion.

18    And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly 
        kingdom:  to whom be glory for ever and ever.  Amen.

19    Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

20    Erastus abode at Corinth:  but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.

21    Do thy diligence to come before winter.  Eubulus greeteth thee and Pudens, and Linus,
        and Claudia, and all the brethren.

22    The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit.  Grace be with you.  Amen.
