Blinding - Florence + The Machine
Seems that I have been held in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realized that it was you who held me under
Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world
And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack
All around the world was waking, I never could go back
'Cause all the walls of dreaming, they were torn right open
And finally it seemed that the spell was broken
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
Snow White's stitching up the circuit boards
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
This Night - Black Lab
There are things
I have done
There's a place
I have gone
There's a beast
And I let it run
Now it's running
My way
There are things
I regret
To can't forgive
You can't forget
There's a gift
That you sent
You sent it
My way
So take this night
Wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I'm not forgiven
But I need a place to sleep
So take this night
And lay me down on the street
I know I'm not forgiven
But I hope that I'll be given
Some peace
There's a game
That I play
There are rules
I had to break
There's mistakes
That I made
But I made them
My way
The Scientist - Coldplay
Come up to meet you
Tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I've set you apart
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on the science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Take me back to the start
I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Oh tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
And I rush to the start
Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
The Unknown - Crossfade
Can you hear me
Can you see any part of me
Can you feel me
Can you bleed for me
Can't you see me walking in your shoes
Can't you feel me stepping all over your soul
Can't you feel me reaching to you
Can't you feel me walking over your soul
Can't you feel me wait in pain
Can't you feel me reaching to you
El Mañana - Gorillaz
Summer don't know me no more
Eager man, that's all
Summer don't know me
He just let me love in myself
'Cause I took you're love from you
That just died, yeah..
I saw that day,
Lost my mind
Lord, I'm fine
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
Don't stop the buck when it comes
It's the dawn, you'll see
Money won't get there
Ten years passed tonight
You'll flee
If you do then,
I'll be someone
To find you
Millstone - Brand New
I used to be such a burning example
I used to be so original
I used to care, I was being cared for
Made sure I showed it to those that I love
I used to sleep without a single stir
'Cause I was about my father's work
Take me out tonight
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
A milestone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
I used to pray like God was listening
I used to make my parents proud
I was the glue that kept my friends together
Now they don't talk and we don't go out
I used to know the name of every person I'd kissed
Now I made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it
Well take me out tonight
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
A milestone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
Throw me that lifeline
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
A milestone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
Never hit the brakes
There's no time to save him
He just ran out in the street
Anybody know his name?
I think I recognize him
Sure as hell paid for that mistake
Forgive Me - Missy Higgins
Oh, my son
Look at what I've done
But I am learning still
Learning still
Know that I am learning still
And, oh, my wife
You are my life
And I am burning still
Burning still
Know that I am burning for you still
And all, all, all of my light is for you
And home, home's anywhere you are too
So take this one fallen man on his knees
Saying, "Please, forgive me"
Oh, my God
How you make it hard
Not to pick the apple
Pick the apple
And, Lord, I long to give it back
And I was on shaky land
Lost and unsure I opened my hand
And she held it like sinking sand
I Gave You All - Mumford & Sons
Rip the earth in two with your mind
Seal the urge which ensues with brass wires
I never meant you any harm
But your tears feel warm as they fall on my forearm
But close my eyes for a while
Force from the world a patient smile
How can you say that your truth is better than ours?
Shoulder to shoulder, now brother, we carry no arms
The blind man sleeps in the doorway, his home
If only I had an enemy bigger than my apathy I could have won
But I gave you all
Close my eyes for a while
Force from the world a patient smile
But I gave you all
But you rip it from my hands
And you swear it's all gone
And you rip out all I have
Just to say that you've won
Well now you've won
Running Up That Hill - Placebo
It doesn't hurt me
You wanna feel how it feel
You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me
You wanna hear about the deal I'm making
You
You and me
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
If I only could
You don't wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder
There's a thunder in our hearts, baby
So much hate for the ones we love
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, be running up that hill
You and me, be running up that hill
You and me won't be unhappy
C'mon, baby, c'mon, c'mon, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling
Let's exchange the experience
If I only could
Make a deal with God
And get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
If I only could
Be running up that hill
You're Not Alone - Saosin
It's just like him
To wander off in the evergreen park
Slowly searching for any sign
Of the ones he used to love
He says he's got nothing left to live for
(He says he's got nothing left)
And this time I think you'll know
You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell
She's just like him
Spoiled rotten and confused by the lies she's been fed
And she's searching for no one but herself
Her eyes turn to green and she seems to be happy
'Cause she is here
And this time I think you'll know
There is more to know
We're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell
The Unwinding Cable Car - Anberlin
Emotive unstable
You're like an unwinding cable car
Listening for voices
But it's the choices that make us who we are
Go your own way, even seasons have changed
Just burn those new leaves over
So self-absorbed you've seemed to ignore
The prayers that have already come about
This is the correlation of salvation and love
Don't drop your arms
Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
With quiet words I'll lead you in
Backing away from the problem of pain
You never had a home
You've been misguided
You're hiding in shadows for so very long
Don't you believe that you've been deceived
That you're no better than
The hair in your eyes, it never disguised
What you're really thinking of
This is the correlation of salvation and love
Don't drop your arms
Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
With quiet words I'll lead you in
You're so brilliant, don't soon forget
You're so brilliant, grace marked your heart
You're so brilliant, don't soon forget
You're so brilliant, grace marked your heart
