This is mostly for myself, so I can document stuff.
Smoke
by Ben Folds and Anna Goodman
Leaf by leaf, and page by page
Throw this book away
All the sadness, all the rage
Throw this book away
Rip out the binding, tear the glue
All of the grief we never even knew
We had it all along
Now it's smoke
The things we've written in it
Never really happened
All the things we've written in it
Never really happened
All of the people come and gone
Never really lived
All the people come have gone
No one to forgive - smoke
We will never write a new one
There will not be a new one
Another one, another one
Here's an evening dark with shame
Throw it on the fire
Here's the time I took the blame
Throw it on the fire
Here's the view we didn't speak
It seemed for years and years
Here's a secret
No one will ever know the reasons for the tears
They are smoke
Where do all the secrets live
They travel in the air
You can smell them when they burn
They travel in the air
Those who say the past is not dead
Stop and smell the smoke
You keep on saying the past is not dead
Come and smell the smoke
You keep saying the past is not even past
You keep saying ...
We are smoke ... smoke ... smoke
I want a broken heart
by Derek Webb
I’ve got faith in the bank and money in my heart
I’ve got a calloused place where your ring used to be, my love
I’ve traded naked and unashamed
for a better place to hide
for a righteous mask, a suit of fig leaves and lies
I thought the cattle on a thousand hills
was not enough to pay my bills
and I fell in love with those who proved me wrong
and now I want a broken heart
now there’s a great pad lock
on the place where I was free
and I’m feeling bad from swallowing that key
now I work real hard but I mostly call in sick
of a broken back from the ground fighting back at me
I cannot look you in the eye
so I check the knots on my disguise
‘cause I fell in love with fashion in the dark
and now I want a broken heart
I’ve got alibis for every crime
a substitute to do my time
‘cause Your heart breaks enough on both our parts
so now I want a broken heart
now I want a broken heart
now I want a broken heart
