Overcome - Carina Round

Too many ghosts reside behind this window, I could dig it out but I don't hear the beginning of morning song. Tripping lightly from night's tongue, city lights fade below me. Black wings spread overhead, lover, didn't you know me? I will overcome, I will open, I will overcome, I will open. Slow my body moves into the future forever. Waiting for the moment of gift. Temper the balance of life and love, fall and the tightrope chokes. You'll own land and sea, to find a girl, shoot the pearl for one man only.

Muhammad My Friend - Tori Amos

Muhammad my friend it's time to tell the world. We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem, and on that fateful day when she was crucified. She wore Shiseido Red and we drank tea by her side. Sweet sweet, used to be so sweet to me. Muhammad my friend, I'm getting very scared. Teach me how to love my brothers, who don't know the law. And what about the deal on the flying trapeze got a peanut butter hand, but honey do drop in at the Dew Drop Inn. Sweet sweet, between the boys and the bees. And Moses I know, I know you've seen fire, but you've never seen fire until you've seen Pele blow. And I've never seen light, but I sure have seen gold, and Gladys save the place for me. On your grapevine, till I get my own TV Show. Ashre, ashre, ashre, ashre, and if I lose my Cracker Jacks at the tidal wave I got a place in the Pope's rubber robe. Muhammad my friend, it's time to tell the world. We both know it was a girl, back in Bethlehem.

A Good Man Is Hard To Find - Sufjan Stevens

Once in the backyard, she was once like me, she was once like me. Twice when I killed them, they were once at peace, they were once like me. Hold to your gun, man, and put off all your peace, put off all the beast. Paid a full of these, I wait for it, but someone's once like me. She was once like me. I once was better. I put off all my grief, I put off all my grief. And so I go to hell, I wait for it, but someone's left me creased. And someone's left me creased.

Speak For Me - Cat Power

Pick us up we’re all by ourselves, the great big howling is about to begin. A thousand miles from where it all begins, old world, the whole world is. Going on and on (forfeit the shape to fit), the backhand to a touch is moving on again (forfeit the shape to fit). Going on and on (forfeit the shape to fit). What’s next? I’m out of time, losing my touch I can't feel, speak for me, do you see the same signs. Do you know how to read between the lines? All in all, it's all or none, all for one, what you want. Pick us out of a line up, stranded and strange just as innocent as kids. The found are leaving and they're trying to forget. The old world, the whole world is going on and on (forfeit the shape to fit), a backhand to the touch is moving on again (forfeit the shape to fit). Going on and on (forfeit the shape to fit), going on and on.

Howl - Florence And The Machine

If you could only see the beast you've made of me, I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free. Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart, drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart. My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in, you are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl. Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack, my blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out. The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound, I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallow'd ground. Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins, I want to find you tear out all your tenderness. And howl, howl, howl, howl. Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers, starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters. Hunters, hunters, hunters. The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress, until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest. The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound. I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'd ground, and howl. Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers, starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters. A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night may still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright. If you could only see the beast you've made of me, I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free. The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound, I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallow'd ground.
 
Sometimes Its a Bitch
Stevie Nicks

Well I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
I cried a river of tears from the pain
I try to dance with what life has to hand me
My partner's been pleasure...my partner's been pain

There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle
And dark desperate hours that nobody sees
My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands...down on my knees

Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze

I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I've laid down with love and I woke up with lies
What's it all worth only the heart can measure
It's not what's in the mirror...but what's left inside

Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze

You gotta take it as it comes
Sometimes it don't come easy

I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
And I've cried a river of tears from the pain
I tried to dance with what life had to hand me
And if I could...I'd do it all over again

Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes the picture just ain't what it seems
You get what you want...but it's not what you need
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes...it's a breeze
 
Heaven - Emeli Sande

Will you recognize me
In the flashing light?
I try to keep my heart beat
But I can't get it right

Will you recognize me
When I'm lying on my back?
Something's gone inside me
And I can't get it back

Oh heaven, oh heaven
I wait with good intentions
But the day it always lasts too long
They I'm gone
Oh heaven, oh heaven

I relate to it because I just feel so dead and numb after what I went through. It's so fresh to me. And the days are too long, something is gone inside me and I can't get anything right. I know it isn't litteral, but it feels like it to me.
I wait with good intentions
But the day it always lasts too long
 
Tool
Sober

There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now the pattern must we
Just because the son is come?

Jesus, won't you f*cking whistle
Something but the past and done?
Jesus won't you f*cking whistle
Something but the past endured?

Why can't we not be sober
I just want to start this over
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over...

Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but the past and done
Mother Mary won't you whisper
Something but the past and done

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me, trust me
Trust me
Trust me
 
TIGER ARMY
Through The Darkness
A thousand miles we are apart
So tightly wrapped it thorns my heart
My song is heard in owls' cries
And through the darkness my love shines
TIGER ARMY
Afterworld
Our love will live in the afterworld
Some things will never end, they're just too strong
It soars into the sky, beyond this world

Baz Luhrmann

Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen

Do one thing everyday that scares you
 
Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry

The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection, baby
To be with myself and center
Clarity, peace, serenity

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

The path that I'm walkin', I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/f/fergie-lyrics/big-girls-don_t-cry-lyrics.html ]

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry

Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and Uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine
Valentine

Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers
And share our secret worlds

But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself, and center
Clarity, peace, serenity

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
 
Your Body Is A Machine - The Good Natured

It’s only a matter of time before all the springs in the mind will start to break, like you have broken me. There's silver in your lungs now, all I care about is shapes, all I care about is colors. You said your body is a machine, it will break like you have broken me. And I can’t forget the words, forgotten promises are completely worthless. I feel you beating in my chest, I feel you screaming in my lungs, you are heavy but your beat's in time. I'm broken hearted but my beat's in time. We are influenced by self love and benevolence. Narcissism is overwhelming, vanity is quite exhausting. Self indulgent, hedonistic, blame it all on your upbringing.

Iowa - Slipknot

Relax, it's over. You belong to me, I fill your mouth with dirt. Relax, it's over. You can never leave, I take your second digit with me. Love. You are my first, I can barely breathe, I find you fascinating. You are my favorite. Lay you down to sleep it's all that I can do to stop the feeling. Love. So blue, so broken, paper doll decays, I haven't left you yet. So cold, subversive, your eyes are full of bleach. Tomorrow I will go away again. Love. You are mine, you will always be mine. I can tear you apart, I can redefine you. All I want is to covet you all, you belong to me. I will kill you to love you! Love you! Love you, love you.

Disassociative - Marilyn Manson

I can tell you what they say in space, that our earth is too grey, but when the spirit is so digital, the body acts this way. That world was killing me, world was killing me, disassociative. The nervous systems down, the nervous systems down, I know. I can never get out of here, I don't want to just float in fear, a dead astronaut in space. Sometimes we walk like we were shot through our heads, my love. We write our song in space like we are already dead and gone. Your world was killing me, world was killing me, disassociative. I can never get out of here, I don't want to just float in fear. A dead astronaut in space. The nervous systems down, the nervous systems down, I know.

Horses In My Dreams - PJ Harvey

Horses in my dreams, like waves, like the sea. They pull out of here, they pull, they are free. Rode a horse around the world, along the tracks of a train. Broke the record, found the gold. Set myself free again. I have pulled myself clear, I have pulled myself clear, I have pulled myself clear. Horses in my dreams, like waves, like the sea. On the tracks of a train, set myself free again. I have pulled myself clear, I have pulled myself clear, outside. I have pulled myself clear, in silence. I have pulled myself clear.
 
"The Last Resort"
The Eagles

She came from Providence,
the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea

She heard about a place people were smiling'
They spoke about the red man's way,
and how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere
to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand
or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars,
out for a good time,
Can't wait to tell you all,
what it's like up there
And they called it paradise
I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low
while the town got high

Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
through the canyons of the coast, to
the Malibu
Where the pretty people play,
hungry for power
to light their neon way
and give them things to do

Some rich men came and raped the land,
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
people bought 'em
And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea

You can leave it all behind
and sail to Lahaina
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming"
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought the white man's reign

Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs and
justify our bloody deeds,
in the name of destiny and the name
of God

And you can see them there,
On Sunday morning
They stand up and sing about
what it's like up there
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise,
kiss it goodbye
 
Travis - Blue Flashing Lights

Saturday evening
Saturday evening at a quarter to five
I would see him arrive at the door
Pushed you aside as he staggered inside
Spilling alcohol over the floor
A storm is abrewin' and it's sure to fall soon
As I look at you from the shore
So
You better hold on
Cause it's Saturday night
And your friends are all out
And you feel like shit
Cause they never call you
No they never call you
No they never call
Never call
Never bloody ever
Call me a name and I'll hit you again
You're a slut, you're a bitch, your'a a slut, you're a whore
Talked to your daddy in that tone of voice
There's a belt hanging over the door
So you run to your room
And you hide in your room
Thinking how you could settle the score
But
Saturday night at a quarter to six
And your friends are all out
And you're live in the sticks
Still they never call you
No they never call you
No they never call
Never call
Never bloody ever call
Blue flashing light last Saturday night
Brought the neighbours all out on the street
They watched as the firemen carried you out
And they stared at each other's feet
Now everyone sees and yet nobody says
How we're all just afraid of the heat
But
It's Saturday night
And I'm lying alone in the bed that I made
Disconnected the phone
Still they never call you
No they never call you
No they never call
Never call
Never bloody ever call
Never bloody ever
Never
Never do
Never do
 
The Cure - Numb

Yeah this is how it ends
After all these years
Tired of it all
Hopelessly helplessly broken apart
He finally falls
He doesn't want to think
Doesn't want to feel
Doesn't want to know what's going on
Says there's nothing he can do will change anything
He doesn't want to know what's going wrong
Because he's in love with a drug
One that makes him numb
One that stops him feeling at all
He's in love with a drug
Forget everyone
He really doesn't care anymore
Anymore...

Yeah this is how it ends
After all this time
Everything just fades away
Worn-out and empty and all alone
With nothing left to say
Oh it's all too big to make a difference
It's all too wrong to make it right
Yeah everything is too unfair
Everything too much to bear
He doesn't have the strength left for the fight
Says all he wants is the drug
The one that makes him numb
The one that stops him feeling at all
He just wants to take the drug
Forget everyone
He doesn't want to care anymore
Just keeps loving the drug
The one that makes him numb
The one that stops him feeling at all
Just keeps loving the drug
The drug that he's become
He isn't really here anymore...

And that makes me cry

The Cure - Never Enough

however much i push it down
it's never enough
however much i push it around
it's never enough
however much i make it out
it's never enough
never enough
however much i do

however big i ever feel
it's never enough
whatever i do to make it real
it's never enough
in any way i try to speak
it's never enough
never enough
however much i try to speak
it's never enough

however much i'm falling down
it's never enough
however much i'm falling out
it's never enough
whatever smile i smile the most
it's never enough
never enough
however i smile
i smile the most

so let me hold it up
just one more go
holding it up for just once more
one more time to fill it up
one more time to kill
but whatever i do
it's never enough
it's never enough

it's never enough
The Cure - Apart

He waits for her to understand
But she won't understand at all
She waits all night for him to call
But he won't call anymore
He waits to hear her say
"Forgive"
But she just drops her pearl-black eyes
And prays to hear him say
"I love you"
But he tells no more lies

He waits for her to sympathize
But she won't sympathize at all
She waits all night to feel his kiss
But always wakes alone
He waits to hear her say
"Forget"
But she just hangs her head in pain
And prays to hear him say
"No more
I'll never leave again"

How did we get this far apart
We used to be so close together
How did we get this far apart
I thought this love would last forever

(Instrumental break)

He waits for her to understand
But she won't understand at all
She waits all night for him to call
But he won't call
He waits to hear her say
"Forgive"
But she just drops her pearl-black eyes
And prays to hear him say
"I love you"
But he tells no more lies

How did we get this far apart
We used to be so close together
How did we get this far apart
I thought this love would last forever

How did we get this far apart
We used to be so close together
How did we get this far apart
I thought this love would last forever
 
The Big Payback by The Psycho Realm

Do you even know the reason for your blastin? It's pointless
You grab your stainless, do your action he stays motionless
Because of your error, they label this era terror
drop the coke and the mirror keep your nose clearer
the outcome of what you've done shook slums of rivals
from other sides with guns, soldiers, and knives
you took one of their lives and finished it
now they decide they want to retaliate
find your ass and even shit
in memory of lost souls, in honor of their homeboys
dying here in south los
now don't even decide you want to hide
If they don't find who they're looking for, they shoot whoever's inside
Your little street family
they drive by your block and shot randomly
you thinks it's best to test
lead 'em on a quest not cease
and in the end let one of your homeboys rest in peace

...

I'm living in southside, avoiding my death
with cautious steps
I might end up serving a point for someone's rep
that's why a gun is kept I will employ its services
if I need to stop their plot from being murderous
can't be a victim of fools who stick 'em
they walk through life with the wicked smiles and piles of loot
don't hesitate to shoot in the quest for dead presidents
they're getting rich at the expense of dead residents
a lot of rascals causing deep fiascoes
if you come across 'em avoid 'em; their mentality is
blast those who ain't down with me
they got something I want and I'll take it
if they resist it's permanent sleep
don't try to be brave; you'll end up in the grave
it's quite impossible to reform those who misbehave
crooks who took will continue to take
leave you shook with no question and then break
no scene seems to break his trance of nice dreams of
for Visine disguises the red so his eyes gleam
another situation will arise
until the instigator takes his turn to die
in the south side
