We were never the marrying type, oh no,
We won't buy dishes or stained glass lights, oh no,
For a table we'll never sit at,
In the house that we won't ever get,
I won't wake up and pick out your tie, oh no,
You won't come home and kiss me at night, oh no,
We won't lie in this king bed for two,
Say goodbye to us saying "I dos,"
No more white picket fences,
No more lace veils or vows,
No more "You're the only one" 'cause that's all done with now,
This is the last love song I'll ever write for you,
This is the last love song I'll ever write for you,
Take these roses and this Jameson, oh no,
Find a subway that I can sit in, oh no,
Buy a one-way out of this city,
Everything that I need, got it with me
No more white picket fences,
No more lace veils or vows,
No more "You're the only one" 'cause that's all done with now,
This is the last love song I'll ever write for you,
This is the last love song I'll ever write for you,
All these notes and all these words,
Are all that's left in me,
Bend these pages, count my woes,
One last song to set me free,
No more white picket fences,
No more lace veils or vows,
No more "You're the only one" 'cause that's all done with now,
This is the last love song I'll ever write for you,
This is the last love song I'll ever write for you,
This is the last love song I'll ever write for you,
This is the last love song I'll ever write for you, oh.

ZZ Ward - Last Love Song
Sara Bareilles - Fire
[Verse 1]
Door clicks while his wheels start spinning on the pavement
And I go fill the space up where he has been staying
Won't lose much sleep, he never went that deep
"Love you," oh, you sweet thing, no, I never said that
Let me hold your ego while you get your bag packed
Don't take this the wrong way
But when the spade shows up, I call it by its first name
[Chorus]
We were, we were never gonna catch fire
We'd've burned up in the flames
Long before they ever rose up higher
Someday, I, I won't have to feel the cold, but I do now
So I'll know what it feels like when I feel fire, fire
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, fire
Fire
[Verse 2]
Talk, touch, kiss, bend, this one's just like all the others
And I know all too well that I won't beat the waters
I held my breath to swim
The shallow shores aren't safe enough to dive in
[Chorus]
We were, we were never gonna catch fire
We'd've burned up in the flames
Long before they ever rose up higher
Someday, I, I won't have to feel the cold, but I do now
So I'll know what it feels like when I feel fire, fire
[Bridge]
That comes-and-stays fire
On-blood-and-veins fire
I've only ever wanted fire
In my chest, in my mouth, on my tongue, in my mind
In my soul, so my lungs can breathe in fire
[Chorus]
We'd've burned up in the flames
Long before they ever rose up higher
Someday, I, I won't have to feel the cold, but I do now
So I'll know what it feels like when I feel fire, fire
Ingrid Michaelson - "Afterlife"
Ingrid Michaelson - "Afterlife"
When the world is breaking down around you taking everything that you know
What you didn't know
Is that we can go forever if we want to
We can live inside of a moment
The one that we own
You and me we got this
You and me we’re beautiful beautiful
We all we all we’re gonna be alright
We got we got we always got the fight in us
We all we all we’re gonna live tonight
Like there's no tomorrow 'cause we’re the afterlife
Living like you're dying isn't living at all
Give me your cold hands put them on my heart
Raise a glass to everyone who thinks they'll never make it through this life
To live a brand-new start
You and me we got this
You and me we’re beautiful beautiful
Chorus
Every time I close my eyes I hear your favorite song telling me not to run not to worry anymore
I can hold on tight to nothing better than the rest
So it's now or never more
Chorus
Ella Henderson - Ghost
[Chorus]
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
[Verse 1]
My friends had you figured out
Yeah they saw what's inside of you
You tried hiding another you
But your evil was coming through
These eyes sitting on the wall
They watch every move I make
Bright light living in the shade
Your cold heart makes my spirit shake
[Pre-Chorus]
I had to go through hell to prove I'm not insane
Had to meet the devil just to know his name
And that's when my love was burning
Yeah, it's still burning!
[Chorus]
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
[Verse 2]
Each time that I think you go
I turn around and you're creeping in
And I let you under my skin
'Cause I love living innocent
Oh, you never told me
True love was gonna hurt
True pain I don't deserve
Truth is that I never learned
[Chorus]
I keep going to the river to pray (Ooh, yeah)
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain (Oh, oh)
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away (Oh)
But your ghost, the ghost of you (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
It keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake
[Post-Chorus]
Give up the ghost, give up the ghost
Give up the ghost, stop the haunting baby
Give up the ghost, give up the ghost
Give up the ghost, no more haunting baby
I keep going to the river...
[Chorus]
I keep going to the river to pray (Ooh, yeah)
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain (Oh, yeah)
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you (Your ghost, oh, oh whoa)
It keeps me awake
I keep going to the river to pray (I keep going, oh, yeah)
'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain (Ooh)
And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you (Ooh, ghost)
It keeps me awake

Rachel Platten - Fight Song
[Verse 1]
Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
[Pre-Chorus]
And all those things I didn't say
Were wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song

A lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep

Prove I'm alright song (Hey!)

And I don't really care
If nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got
A lot of fight left in me

No, I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Revelation Chapter Nine
1 AND the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key
to the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace;
and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions
of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing,
neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months:
and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were
crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound
of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in the tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is
Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
12 One woe is past: and behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay
the third part of men.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth,
and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of the lions; and out of their mouths issued fire
and smoke and brimstone.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone,
which issued out of their mouths.
19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads,
and with them they do hurt.
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands,
that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which
neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Revelation Chapter Nine - KJV
Poppy - The Cost of Giving Up (Jimmy Kimmel Live)
Today's a shade of disbelief
Inflict the shame you sent to me
I can entrust a new meaning
I'm not ready
So is this what it feels like?
Breaking from the inside, all the time
Tell me, what's the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe I'm the one l'm running from
It's too much to carry, it's all getting heavy
Lift me up
It burrows like a summer tick
Embeds itself, to make me sick
Of all the places it could be
It's still in me
Guess this is what it feels like
Speaking from the dark side of my mind
Tell me, what's the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe I'm the one l'm running from
It's too much to carry, it's all getting heavy
Lift me up
Can't push me any further down in the trench
Back against the wall
So you wanna test me now?
While the others beg and fail to repent
They were fit to suffer
And I will dig back out
Tell me, what's the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe I'm the one I'm running from
It's too much to carry, it's all getting heavy
Tell me, what's the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe I'm the one I'm running from
It's too much to carry, it's all getting heavy
Lift me up
Tell me, what's the cost of giving up?
Giving up

Nomeansno - This Story Must Be Told
Nomeansno - This Story Must Be Told
He pushed her in the alley, and he tried to lay her low
He grabbed her in the dark, this story must be told
She looked him in the eye and his blood ran cold
She said, I know a little story, and this story must be told.
But it's lies, lies, we never heard about it
Lies, lies, and we don't want to know
Lies, lies, we'll never listen
You're a dirty little liar and we don't want to know
His guts were in a knot but her voice it would not stop
She shattered with her chatter all his dreams and all his thoughts
She licked him with her tongue and she tore him with her claws
He beat her and he begged her but he could not make her stop
Nine times she bellyed over him, nine times in the foam she rose
She ripped away his soul like he ripped away her clothes
She said, I know a little story and this story must be told.
He tried to hide, he wandered down the road
He threw away everything that he owned, still he could not bear the load
He grabbed me when I met him and my blood it ran cold
He said, "I know a little story, and this story must be told.
But it's lies, lies, we never heard about it
Lies, lies, and we don't wannt to know
Lies, lies, we'll never listen
You're a dirty little liar and we don't want to know
He rolled his eyes, he laughed and he cried, he said I'd kill myself if I was still alive
He reamed me out with a tongue like sand, cursing in a language that nobody understands
"There she blows!" he turned and he cried, pointing to the centre of an empty sky
There she is, my Lady true! Her laughter cuts my heart in two!
Her eyes are blank, her face is stone! Leave me alone! Leave me alone!
She shattered with her chatter all my dreams and all my thoughts
She licked me with her tongue and she tore me with her claws
She ripped away my soul like I ripped away her clothes
She said, I know a little story and this story must be told.
In the light I see, nothing left of me, when the dankness falls, I will see it all
R.E.M. - Losing My Religion
[Verse 1]
Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you, and you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much, I set it up
[Pre-Chorus]
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
[Chorus]
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
[Verse 2]
Every whisper of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost, and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much, I set it up
[Pre-Chorus]
Consider this, consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this the slip
That brought me to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around?
And now I've said too much
[Chorus]
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
[Bridge]
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
[Chorus]
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
[Outro]
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream, just a dream
Just a dream, dream
EVANESCENCE - "Secret Door"
EVANESCENCE - "Secret Door"
Turn out the lights
Feed the fire till my soul breathes free
My heart is high as the waves above me
Don't need to understand
Too lost to lose
Don't fight my tears, cuz they feel so good
And I, I will remember how to fly
Unlock the heavens in my mind
Follow my love back through the same secret door
Look past the end
It's a dream, as it's always been
All life lives on if we've ever loved it
And I, I will remember how to fly
Unlock the heavens in my mind
Follow my love back through the same secret door
Red - Already Over (epic version)
You never go
You're always here (suffocating me)
Under my skin
I cannot run away
Fading slowly
I'd give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again
I know it's already over, already over now
My best defense, running from you
I can't resist, take all you want from me
Breaking slowly
I'd give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again
I know it's already over, already over now!
You're all I'm reaching for
It's already over
All I'm reaching for!
It's already over now
I'd give it all to you
I offer up my soul
It's already over, already over now!
Give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again!
I know it's already over now!
It's already over now!
I know it's already over, already over.
Sleeping With Sirens - "Better Off Dead"
Sleeping With Sirens - "Better Off Dead"
She said she wants to end it all
When she's all alone in her room
She cries
The way she feels inside
Is too much for her
When all you’ve got is these four walls
It's not that hard to feel so small
Or even exist at all
How come no one heard her when she said
Maybe I'm better off dead
If I was
Would it finally be enough
To shut out all the voices in my head?
Maybe I'm better off dead
Did you hear a word
Hear a word I said?
This is not where I belong
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
She doesn't know she's beautiful
Cuz no one’s ever told her so
The demons that she hides
Are all she knows
Maybe she could fall in love
With someone in her life
She could trust
And tell her she's enough
How come no one heard her when she said
Maybe I'm better off dead
If I was
Would it finally be enough
To shut out all the voices in my head?
Maybe I'm better off dead
Did you hear a word
Hear a word I said?
This is not where I belong
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When all you got is these four walls
It's not hard to feel so small
When all you got is these four walls
It's not hard for you to feel so small
(All she wanted was to be enough, all she wanted was to be enough, what would it take? Maybe it's not too late.)
How come no one heard her when she said

First John
Chapter One
1 THAT which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes,
which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life,
which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us:
and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light,
and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood
of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Chapter Two
1 MY little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not, And if any man sin, we have an advocate
with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world,
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the
beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness
is past, and the true light now shineth.
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not wither he goeth,
because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men,
because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have have known him that is from the beginning. I have
written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome
the wicked one.
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father
is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father,
but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many
antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, they would not doubt have
continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard
from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you:
but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you,
ye shall abide in him.
28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousenss is born of him.
Chapter Three
1 BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God:
therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that,
when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man decieve you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God
was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works
were evil, and his brother's righteous.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother
abideth in death.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for
the brethren.
17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion
from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things
that are pleasing in his sight.
23 And this is is commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love
one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he
abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
Chapter Four
1 BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets
are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit
of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world; and the world heareth them.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth,
and the spirit of error.
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God: and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in in love
dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is,
so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen,
how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
Chapter Five
1 WHOSOEVER believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat
loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world,
even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood.
And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar;
because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have
eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that
sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that
wicked one toucheth him not.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him
that is true, and we are in him, that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
First John 1-5 - KJV
Gabrielle Aplin - Start Again
[Verse 1]
The surface is cracking
The lines on my face,
Show the courage that I'm lacking here
And the beauty that awaits
Home was just a word
Without a time or place
I've fallen in and out of love
With the loneliness I've traced
[Chorus]
And I can't wait to start again
No, I can't wait to start again
When the darkness and unknown become your friend
No, I can't wait to start again
[Verse 2]
The voice of a thousand whispers
With answers I can't find
I made promises to the wounded love
In the corner of my mind
When the night before has left you
And the smoke has filled your lungs
When you don't know what you've come here for
Or the person you've become
Luca Brugnoli - CRY ME A RIVER
15 year old Luca Brugnoli sings his cover of CRY ME A RIVER
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the whole night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on! come on!
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
TINI - Te Olvidaré
English and Spanish lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know that for a while I will sail aimlessly
And even if the sea is deep, I'll let you go
Loneliness may not really stop hurting
But my feet hurt more to run towards you
And I got tired of waiting for you so much
[Chorus]
I will dream of you, I will miss you
And although I can no longer see you, I will invent you
You will call me, I will answer
And with my voice that I'm fine I'll lie to us
And when I stop counting every second
When your places stop hurting me
And when you're finally not the only one in my world
I will forget you (Mmm)
I will forget you
[Verse 2]
How much the little things in life hurt
I remember every kiss of yours like yesterday
I sleep with the lights on in case you come back
How it hurts to turn them off at dawn
How it hurts not to see you again
[Chorus]
I will dream of you, I will miss you (Oh-oh)
And although I can no longer see you, I will invent you (Eh)
You will call me, I will answer (No, no)
And with my voice that I'm fine I'll lie to us (Eh)
And when I stop counting every second (Ah-ah)
When your places stop hurting me (Ah-ah)
And when you're finally not the only one in my world (Ah-ah)
I will forget you, wow
Sé que por un tiempo voy a navegar sin rumbo
Y aunque sea profundo el mar, yo ya te soltaré
Puede que la soledad en realidad no deje de doler
Pero duelen más mis pies por hacia a ti correr
Y de tanto esperarte me cansé
Te soñaré, te extrañaré
Y aunque ya no te pueda ver, te inventaré
Me llamarás, contestaré
Y con mi voz de que estoy bien, nos mentiré
Y cuando ya deje de contar cada segundo
Cuando tus lugares ya me dejen de doler
Y cuando por fin no seas el único en mi mundo
Te olvidaré
Te olvidaré
Cuánto duelen las pequeñas cosas en la vida
Cada beso tuyo lo recuerdo como ayer
Duermo con las luces encendidas por si tú vas a volver
Cómo duele apagarlas al amanecer
Cómo duele no volverte a ver
Te soñaré, te extrañaré
Y aunque ya no te pueda ver, te inventaré
Me llamarás, contestaré
Y con mi voz de que estoy bien, nos mentiré
Y cuando ya deje de contar cada segundo
Cuando tus lugares ya me dejen de doler
Y cuando por fin no seas el único en mi mundo
Te olvidaré
Yo te olvidaré
Te olvidaré
Y cuando ya deje de contar cada segundo
Cuando tus lugares ya me dejen de doler
Y cuando por fin no seas el único en mi mundo
Te olvidaré
Elle King - The Let Go
Cold as it was for a winter's day
The sun came out 'cause the sky was grey
The wolves are back, they've come to play
I thought I heard your father say
Go down to the tunnel where the Devil wants ya
Out to the street where the people hunt ya
It hurt more than it was supposed to
I was waiting for the let go
I swore I wouldn't 'til you said so
I put the pieces back together
So thank you or whatever
Nothing lasts forever, man, I guess so
Waiting for the let go
Waiting for the let go
Out of the grey, into the woods
I take my chances, I know I should
When the light comes, listen closely
Follow my shadow to the old me
Mother of the moon, tell me what to do
Shit is scary, shit is new
The tide is calling out for changes
Oh, what an ocean of time that we wasted
I was waiting for the let go
I swore I wouldn't 'til you said so
I put the pieces back together
So thank you or whatever
Nothing lasts forever, man, I guess so
Waiting for the let go
Waiting for the let go
I had to pay for all of your bad behavior
But expensive lessons are always the best to know
I'm not waiting for the let go
Don't need any of your say so
I put the pieces back together
So thank you or whatever
Nothing lasts forever, man, I guess so
Waiting for the let go
Waiting for the let go
I was waiting for the let go
I swore I wouldn't 'til you said so
I put the pieces back together
So thank you or whatever
Nothing lasts forever, man, I guess so
Waiting for the let go
Waiting for the let go
Staind - Home
I force myself through another day
Can't explain the way today just fell apart like everything
Right in my face
And I try to be the one
I can't accept this all because of you
I've had to walk away
From everything
I'm afraid to be alone
Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone
I'm afraid to come back home
Another sleepless night again
Hotel room's my only friend
And friends like that just don't add up
To anything
And I try so hard to be everything
That I should never take away from you again
'Cause I heard ya say
I'm afraid to be alone
Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone
I'm afraid to come back home
I cannot forget
I live with regret
I cannot forget
I live with
I'll live through this
I can't see through this
I can't do this anymore
Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone
I just wish I was back home

The Postal Service - Such Great Heights
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home
They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...
The Postal Service - Such Great Heights
I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
And that frankly will not fly. You will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home

Jeremiah Chapter 29
1 NOW these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue
of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people
whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;
2 (After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem,
and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)
3 By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah
sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,
4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused
to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;
5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters: and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands,
that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.
7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD
for it; for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners,
that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.
10 For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you,
and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil,
to give you an expected end.
12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you
from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will
bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
15 Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;
16 Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people
that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity.
17 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, with famine, and pestilence,
and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil,
18 And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver
them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an
hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:
19 Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants
the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.
20 Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:
21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son
of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;
22 And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD
make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;
23 Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives,
and spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness,
saith the LORD.
24 Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
25 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name
unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all
the priests, saying,
26 The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house
of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him
in prison, and in the stocks.
27 Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?
28 For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them;
and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
30 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah saying,
31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite;
Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:
32 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not
have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall be behold the good that I will do for my people,
saith the LORD, because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.

Damiano David - Nothing Breaks Like a Heart
Damiano David - Nothing Breaks Like a Heart
[Verse 1]
I heard you on the phone last night
We live and die by pretty lies
You know it, we both know it
These silver bullet cigarettes
This burning house, there's nothing left
It's smoking, we both know it
We got all night to fall in love
But just like that, we fall apart
We're broken, we're broken
[Pre-Chorus]
Mmm, but nothing, nothing, nothing gonna save us now
[Chorus]
There's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark
This broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
But days fall apart, and nothing breaks like a heart
Oh-oh-oh, nothing breaks like a heart
[Verse 2]
We'll leave each other cold as ice
And high and dry, the desert wind
Is blowin', is blowin'
Remember what you said to me?
We were drunk in love in Tennessee
And I hold it, we both know it
[Pre-Chorus]
Mmm, but nothing, nothing, nothing gonna save us now
No, nothing, nothing, nothing gonna save us now
[Chorus]
There's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark
This broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
But days apart, and nothing breaks like a heart
Mmm, nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Mmm, nothing breaks like a heart
[Bridge]
Mmm, but nothing, nothing, nothing gonna save us now
No, nothing, nothing, nothing gonna save us now
No, nothing, nothing, nothing gonna save us now
Oh, nothing, nothing, nothing gonna save us now
[Chorus]
Oh, there's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark
Ooh, this broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
But days apart, and nothing breaks like a heart
Oh-oh-oh, nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
BAD OMENS - Just Pretend
I’m not afraid of the war you’ve come to wage against my sins
I’m not okay, but I can try my best to just pretend
So will you wait me out, or will you drown me out?
I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I can wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain’t getting over you
I know the pain that you hide behind the smile on your face, and not a day goes by where I don’t think I feel the same
So will you wait me out, or will you drown me out?
I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I can wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain’t getting over you
We’ll try again when we’re not so different
We will make amends, till’ then I’ll just pretend
Weigh down on me
Stay till’ morning
Way down, would you say I’m worthy?
I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I can wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain’t getting over you
We’ll try again when we’re not so different
We will make amends, till’ then I’ll just pretend
Weigh down on me
Stay till’ morning
Way down, would you say I’m worthy?

flora cash - You're Somebody Else
I saw the part of you
That only when you're older you will see too
You will see too
I held the better cards
But every stroke of luck has got a bleed through
It's got a bleed through
You held the balance of the time
That only blindly I could read you
But I could read you
It's like you told me
Go forward slowly
It's not a race to the end
Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous
You were the better part
Of every bit of beating heart that I had
Whatever I had
I finally sat alone
Pitch black flesh and bone
Couldn't believe that you were gone
Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous
Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous
Where are we?
Where are we?
Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous
Well you look like yourself
But you're somebody else
Only it ain't on the surface
Well you talk like yourself
No, I hear someone else though
Now you're making me nervous
I saw the part of you that only when you're older
You will see too, you will see too
