System Of A Down - Peephole

When your stars are baked

And your rivers fly

Do you ever believe you were stuck out in the sky

When your castle breaks

And your feet are dry

Do you ever believe you were stuck in the sky

Do you believe, when you're high

That your life is tried

Don't you ever get stuck in the sky

Don't you ever get stuck in the sky

Don't ever get stuck in the sky, when you're high

When your moon is fake

And your mermaids cry

Do you ever believe you were stuck in the sky

When your tunnel fades

And your guide is shy

Do you ever believe you were stuck in the sky

Do you believe, when you're high

That your life is tried

Don't you ever get stuck in the sky

Don't you ever get stuck in the sky

Don't ever get stuck in the sky, when you're high

Don't you ever get stuck in the sky

Don't you ever get stuck in the sky

Don't ever get stuck in the sky, when you're high

Don't you ever get stuck in the sky

Don't you ever get stuck in the sky

Don't you ever get stuck in the sky

Don't you ever get stuck in the sky

Don't you ever get stuck in the sky

Don't you ever get stuck in the sky

Don't ever get stuck in the sky, when you're high

Paradise Lost - Back On Disaster

It's all I want

Clear my mistakes

All adhere to the first disgrace

Caress all with this agony

In dreams I have tried

Don't look back on disaster

Ask your questions in time

Despite the hate are you afraid

All consumed by a surging grace

I've buried all with this agony tears I have cried

Don't look back on disaster

Is there a place and a time

When all your dreams that just break apart you fall apart it seems

Another ending you'd make the start embrace the heart be free

Hail to the bitterness

The Prodigy - Firestarter

I'm the trouble starter, punkin' instigator

I'm the fear addicted, danger illustrated

You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter

I'm the bitch you hated, filth infatuated – yeah

I'm the pain you tasted, well intoxicated

I'm the one infected, twisted animator

I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter

You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter

MGMT - Weekend Wars

Evil S I yes to find a shore,

A beach that doesn't quiver anymore,

Where we can crush some plants to paint my walls,

And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars

Was I? I was to lazy to bathe

Or paint or write or try to make a change

Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch

And I don't have to love or think too much

Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk

Mental mystics in a twisted metal car

Tried to amplify the sound of light and love

Christ is cursed of faders and maders

Might even take a knife to split a hair

Or even scare the children off my lawn

Giving us time to make the makeshift bombs

Every mess invested was a score

We couldn't use computers anymore

It's difficult to win unless you're bored,

And you might have to plan for the weekend wars

Try to break my heart I'll drive to Arizona

It might take a hundred years to grow an arm

I'll sit and listen to the sound of sand and cold

Twisted diamond heart, I'm the weekend warrior

My predictions are the only things I have

I can amplify the sound and light and love

I'm a curse and I'm a sound,

When I open up my mouth,

There's a reason I don't win,

I don't know how to begin

The Mission - Damaged

So you find it hard to face the cold harsh light of day

Hiding in the shadows of resentment and blame

The argument for violence over reason holds no sway

No matter what you promise I don't think you'll ever change

Damaged, you're oh so damaged

So you can't exist without your powder and pornography

It's a dangerous place where the white line makes you go

Armed with wide-eyed logic and a hand me down biography

There's a devil inside when the mirror's covered in snow

Damaged, oh so damaged

Don't you think you're taking just a little too much for granted

Crawling from the wreckage of another crashed car

And don't you think you're taking just a little too much advantage

Climbing up to heaven just to piss on the stars

Damaged, oh so damaged

Pixies - Gigantic

And this I know his teeth as white as snow

What a gas it was to see him

Walk her everyday into a shady place

With her lips she said

She said, "Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul

Let's have a ball

Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul

Let's have a ball

Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul

Let's have a ball"

Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic

A big, big love

Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic

A big, big love

Lovely legs there are

What a big black mass, what a hunk of love

He'll walk her every day into a shady place

Like the dark, but I'd want him

"Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul

Let's have a ball

Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul

Let's have a ball

Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul

Let's have a ball"

Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic

A big, big love

Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic

A big, big love

Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic

A big, big love

Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic

A big, big love

A big, big love

A big, big love

A big, big love

A big, big love

The Gift - So Free (3 Acts)

Love is getting you bored

It's so hard

For me and for you

And everyday

I wake up and say

It's gonna be a brighter day

You left me alone

As you walk out the door

And you broke us apart

You broke us apart

This time is for good

I would cry if I could

It's so hard

But it's better for my heart

dEUS - Cold Sun Of Circumstance

Don’t keep quiet

Find a deal

It they can’t think it

Make ‘em feel

Use your eyes

Don’t compare

On a global scale

Strip it bare

Think out loud

Stay in shape

Spill your wine

On the devil’s cape

Waste your money

Like you think you should

And raise your glass

To the brotherhood

It’s the devil in the blood, baby

He’s the cutter of a mighty funky deal

Be it only for a real short time now

Before the cold sun of circumstance

Shines on

Smile on pictures

Smoke in bed

Don’t ever think

You know your pet

Use your charm

But don’t compare

Tell them when

But never where

It’s the devil in the blood, baby

He’s the cutter of a mighty funky deal

Be it only for a real short time now

Before the cold sun of circumstance

Shines on

Don’t be precious

Don’t be proud

The past means nothing

When you’re down

Living hard

For a while

Will hurt your bones

But not your style

It’s the devil in the blood, baby

He’s the cutter of a mighty funky deal

Be it only for a real short time now

Before the cold sun of circumstance

Shines on

Lykke Li - Unrequited Love

Once again it's happening

Oooh, this love is unrequited

Twice the pain the suffering

Oooh, my love is unrequited

Oooh, my love is unrequited

That must mean I'll live again

And get back what I gave my men

Get back what I lost to them

Oh, the shame this crying game

Oh, my love I've been denied it

Oh, my love is unrequited

And I know it so well

I could play it by ear

Looking back at myself

While the violin plays

And blue is my tune

Another stitch to my wound

Another inch in this dwell

I know it all too well

When once again it's happening

Oh, our love has gone divided

Oooh, my love is unrequited

Oooh, my love is unrequited

Oooh, my love is unrequited

Oooh, my love is unrequited

Lana Del Rey - Wild At Heart

What would you do if I told you

You made me crazy

To see your pretty pics on Sunset Boulevard?

And it makes me lazy

So I smoke cigarettes

Just to understand the smog

I love you lots like polka dots

You're killing me more

Than coffee pots and Insta' thots

With every drop I pour

And if I had to do it all again

I would because, babe, in the end

It brought me here to you

I left Calabasas, escaped all the ashes, ran into the dark

And it made me wild, wild, wild at heart

The cameras have flashes, they cause the car crashes

But I'm not a star

If you love me, you'll love me

'Cause I'm wild, wild at heart

If they love me, they'll love me

'Cause I'm wild, wild at heart

What would you do if I wouldn't sing for them no more?

Like if you heard I was out in the bars drinking Jack and Coke

Going crazy for anyone who would listen to my stories, babe

Time after time, I think about leaving

But you know that I never do just 'cause you keep me believing

I love you lots, despite the odds

You're killing me, John

And all these thoughts brought us apart

And that's okay, too

'Cause even in the worst of times

You saw the best of me

And that's why I stay here with you

I left Calabasas, escaped all the ashes, ran into the dark

And it made me wild, wild, wild at heart

The cameras have flashes, they cause the car crashes

But I'm not a star

If you love me, you'll love me

'Cause I'm wild, wild at heart

If you love me, you'll love me

'Cause I'm wild, wild at heart

'Cause, baby, I'm wild at heart

If you love me, you'll love me

'Cause I'm wild at heart

Baby, I'm wild, wild at heart

If they love me, they'll love me

'Cause I'm wild, wild at heart

If they love me, they'll love me

'Cause I'm wild, wild at heart

St. Vincent - Hang On Me

I know you're probably sleepin'

And we circle down from the sky

Yeah, so hang on me

Hang on me, hang on me

'Cause you and me

We're not meant for this world

You and me

We're not meant for this world

And only lovers will survive

Yeah, so hang on me

Hang on me, hang on me

Sharon Van Etten - Tarifa

Hit the ground

The yard, I found something

I could taste your mouth

Shut the door

Now in the sun tanning

You were so just

Looking across the sky

Can't remember

I can't recall, no

I can't remember anything at all

We skipped the sunrise

Looking across the grass

Said he wanted

And not that I'm every

It's the same, I could mean you were right

Everyone else

Hasn't a chance, don't

Fail me now

Open arms, rest

Let's run under

Cursing myself at night

Slow it was 7

I wish it was 7 all night

Tell me when

Tell me when is this over?

Chewed you out

Chew me out when I'm stupid

I don't wanna

Everyone else pales

Send in the owl

Tell me I'm not a child

You summon

Forget about everyone else

Fall away somehow

To figure it out

The Doors - Land Ho!

Grandma loved a sailor, who sailed the frozen sea

Grandpa was that whaler and he took me on his knee

He said, "Son, I'm going crazy from livin' on the land

Got to find my shipmates and walk in foreign sands."

This old man was graceful with silver in his smile

He smoked a briar pipe and he walked four country miles

Singing songs of shady sisters in old town Liberty

Songs of love and songs of death and songs to set men free

Ya!

I've got three ships and sixty men

A course for ports unread

I'll stand at mast, let north winds blow till half of us are dead

Land ho!

Well, if I get my hands on a dollar bill gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill

If I get my hands on a number five gonna skin that little girl alive

If I get my hands on a number two come back home and marry you

Marry you, marry you

Alright!

Eh land ho!

Eh land ho!

Well if I get back home and I feel alright

You know babe I'm gonna love you right, love you right, love you right

Eh land ho!

Eh land ho!

Eh!

Chelsea Wolfe - Noorus

I was young

I was scared

I was so high I didn't care

Mind was loose

Mind was dead

Mind was jaded like quarter-fed

I was a boy

I was whore

I would take in anything you'd give

Only cared

About myself

Fuck you and your ego

Get out of my brain..

It was a war

It was obscene

It was the worst that I had been

It was a bag of chocolate coins

It wasn't water

It wasn't free

It was the worst that I had been

It was the death of some kind of scene

U2 - Jesus Christ

One, two, three, four

Who traveled through the land

A hard working man and brave

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, halelujah

For they laid Jesus Christ is his grave

And told them all the same

He said sell all your jewelry and give it to the poor

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

When Jesus came to town all the working folks around

Believed what he did say

Well the bankers and the preachers

They nailed him on a cross

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

And [hard] working people

They followed him around

They sung and shouted gay

Well the cops and the soldiers

They nailed him in the head

And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

Oh, halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

Hale, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

Depeche Mode - Miles Away / The Truth Is

It's one of those conversations we've, we've had them before

The ones that leave you empty and wanting for more

Your eyes they tell me something that I understand

Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth is

You're miles away

Excuse me for my hesitation I've, I've met you before

Your face seems so familiar and longing for more

Your eyes they tell me something that I understand

Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth is

You're miles away

With all your superstitions and empty lines

I could be just like you

Withdrawn but alive

Life it has it's limitations we all have our needs

Love could be the only answer it lies underneath

Your eyes they tell me something that I understand

Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth is

You're miles away

I need to give myself a hand

Ya'll cuh-cuh-cuh-creepin'

Creepin' underneath my skin

Fuck you and your flashbulbs

Snappin' my picture again

You drank all my whiskey

You stole all my smoke

And you're crowded all around me

Like I got nowhere to go

Eyes are gonna roll back

I'm here to kill

Time for you to go

I'm-a-gon' spill

It ain't yo fast train

I'll be the king runnin' near the wheel

I ain't lookin' to make no deals here no

Are you through confessin' of your little girl obsession

'Cause I was only messin' and I had a little time

Simple Minds - See The Lights

Summer's gone winter's in your eyes

I can feel the thunder storms inside

I wake every morning and the cold winds cover me

All I've got's a ghost of what could be

If you can see the lights shine in front of me

If you can see the lights shout out where you'll be

I'm in a broken dream I stare out into space

You know I called you up cos nothing takes your place

I've got a heart of stone and it's sinking deep inside

I want to tell you love I'm too proud to cry

If you can see the lights shine in front of me

If you can see the lights shout out where you'll be

Summer's gone and I can't tell you lies

Oh forgive me love I'm too proud to cry

If you can see the lights shine in front of me

If you can see the lights shout out where you'll be

Summer's gone and I can't tell you lies

Forgive me love I'm too proud to cry

Too proud to cry

Too proud to cry

The Cure - The Scream

Yeah I’ve been this way before

But something down here changed

The spring sun hanging slower

Colder in the sky

And your voice sounds strange

Your voice sounds strange

Yeah I’ve been down here before

But this time

Something really isn’t right

Summer sun hangs smaller

Paler in the sky

And your eyes are too bright

Your eyes are too bright

It’s like everything I know

Is twisted out and wrong

The fall sun hanging flatter

Lower in the sky

And your smile is gone

Your smile is gone

It’s like twisted out I know

Now I can’t wake to

Break apart this dream

Winter sun hangs weaker

Older in the sky

And you start to scream

You start to scream

You start to scream…

Scream and you scream

This is not a dream

This is how it really is

There isn’t any other this

Is not a dream

Scream and you scream

Why you have this need

Why you can’t be satisfied

Always want another why

You have this need

Scream and you scream

Dare me to believe

Dare me now to show I care

One last chance to make the dare

Me to believe

Scream and you scream

How we ended here

How we got from then to now

Never really followed how

We ended here

Kings Of Leon - The Bandit

Chiseled their names in stone

Heavy the load you tow

And the red horse is always close

And the fire don't burn below

Two hundred miles to clear

Chasing a sound I hear

When the call brings them all to tears

And the hopes they all turn to fears

And they're walking around

With their heads in the cloud screaming

Must catch the bandit

Reckless abandon

Rundown and stranded

Must catch the bandit

Tracks in the dirt for days

Sniff out the fire ablaze

And the red door, it seems to sway

And it carries a heavy weight

And they're walking around

With their heads in the cloud screaming

Must catch the bandit

Reckless abandon

Rundown and stranded

Must catch the bandit

And they're walking around

With their heads in the cloud screaming

Must catch the bandit

Reckless abandon

Rundown and stranded

Must catch the bandit

I awake

From blood thick dreams

Washing blame

From my knees

Softly done

So secretly

I'm awake

As charlie sleeps

A lone brother, a lone sister

A home cover, alone

I awake

Dry the scream

Spit the vile breath

Till my tongue bleeds

Thinks it's all gone

Famously

Broke the hard girl

Good to please

Tell it like it is

Tell it like it is

Tell the sordid truth

Tell them

Tell it like it is

Tell them

I've sang you songs that made you laugh and made you cry

I've sang the blues and I've sang you lullabies

I've sang you songs of flaming one night stands and long goodbyes

I've sang you songs that rejoice and celebrate

I've sang you songs of love by design and by fate

I've sang you songs of ache and lust and appetites to sate

But I can't bring myself to sing

No, I can't bring myself to sing

Of ever leaving you

I've sang you songs of the holy and divine

I've sang you songs of devils and cheap wine

I've sang you songs of fawning courtesans and concubines

I've sang you songs of sadness and of pain

I've sang you songs of the needle and the vein

I've sang the songs of the tears washed away by the rain

I've sang the songs of loss of grief and despair

I've sang the songs of destruction and repair

I've sang you songs of hope belief and faith in prayer

But I can't bring myself to sing

No, I can't bring myself to sing

Of ever leaving you

I've sang you songs of birth and of death

I've sang you songs of air and of breath

I've given you songs born of cocaine and crystal meth

I've sang the songs of ageing ruin and decay

I've sang you songs of the hunter and his prey

I've sang the songs of disenchantment fear and dismay

I've sang you songs of blame and accusation

I've sang you songs of shame and recrimination

I've sang you songs of regret, guilt, penance and salvation

But I can't bring myself to sing

No, I can't bring myself to sing

Of ever leaving you

I've sang you the words of others and made you believe they're mine

I've sang the songs of heaven of Gods and stars that shine

I've sang you songs that have touched you, sent shivers down your spine

I've sang the songs that made your, made your heart sing

That made you feel like a bird on the wing

That made you soar and sometimes roar, I made you sing

But I can't bring myself to sing

No, I can't bring myself to sing

Of ever leaving you...

Portishead - Nylon Smile

I'd like to laugh at what you said, but I just can't find a smile

I wonder why I can't, I struggle with myself

Hoping I might change a little

Hoping that I might be someone I wanna be

Looking out I want to know someone might care

Looking out I want a reason to be there

'Cause I don't know what I've done to deserve you

and I don't know what I'll do without you

Looking out I want to know some way might clear

Looking out I want a reason to repair

'Cause I don't know what I've done to deserve you

And I don't know what I'll do without you

I can't see nothing good, nothing is so bad

I never had the chance to explain exactly what I meant
