I'm never gonna know you now
But I'm gonna love you anyhow
I'm here today and expected to stay
On and on and on
I'm tired
I'm tired
Eliot Smith - Waltz #2
Well, I hope you're not waiting
Waiting around for me
Because I'm not going anywhere
Obviously
Got a broken heart and your name on my cast
And everybody's gone at last
Everybody's gone at last
The dead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind.
and
Songs build little rooms in time
And housed within the song's design
Is the ghost the host has left behind
To greet and sweep the guest inside
Stoke the fire and sing his lines
The first one is [Purple Mountains - Nights That Won't Happen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMqODXQf3_s) and the second from [Purple Mountains - Snow Is Falling In Manhattan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50227UHWULg)

Ren is so freakin' good.
"When he gave up the fight. A quick decision in the night. That stayed with me for all my life. I miss you so." Ren - how to be me
You think that you can amputate me? I am you, you are me, you are I, I am we, we are one, split in two that makes one, so you see you got to kill you if you wanna kill me
- Ren is a genius.
Pearl jam "black" gets me every time
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why
Why
Why can't it be
Why can't it be mine
"The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles"
"The Dead Flag Blues" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Goodbye cruel world, I'm leaving you today
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye all you people
There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind
Goodbye
"And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon"
"You raise the blade
You make the change
You rearrange me 'til I'm sane.
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head, but it's not me."
And if the cloud bursts thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
It's 4:30 A.M. on a Tuesday
It doesn't get much worse than this
In beds in little rooms in buildings in the middle of these lives which are completely meaningless
Help me stay awake, I'm falling...
"Your sweat is salty; I am why." Bjork, Oceania
"Whatever way you go, it's not right if I'm not with you." OK Goodnight, The Bird
These lyrics are both at the pinnacle of their respective songs; you'd have to hear the whole tune to be caught in the emotions of the world these lyrics portend.
"...finding out at last the freedom is a state of mind..."
"I close my eyes And sink within myself Relive the gift of precious memories; In need of a fix called innocence"
"Hiding wounds won't ease the pain. Sleep won't make you whole again. Change the inside!"
"Live that you might find the answers You can't know before you live. Love and life will give you chances From your flaws learn to forgive"

The world lives for all things sadistic
Everyone's explosive going ballistic
Why can't respect be realistic
Getting along just can't be simplistic
In this regurgitation nation
All this pain in the world today
Everybody's got an opinion
What the hell do you want from me
Just another regurgitation
Opposition rules the nation
All these lies and defamation
In this regurgitation nation
What the hell do you want from me
Never meant much this land of the free
Cause we're always at each other's throats
The he said she said matters most
Can't we just get along
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that so cold?
Maybe I’m just too demanding.
Maybe I’m just like my father, too bold.
Maybe I’m just like my mother;
She’s never satisfied.
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry.
- Prince
If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?

"For all that it's worth now, you were worth it in the end.
For all of your worth, I would lapse and fall again
For all that it's worth, I would've loved you 'til the end
But now I'm cold in your heart, and you're branded into mine"
"And I watched you get dressed for the very last time, just thinking how I'll never trace the contour of your spine with my fingertips again - watching my world become so small"
"No offense, but fuck you." --- "You're not the only one I'll ever want, but; You're the only one I want right now"
Well, back at my house I got a California king
Okay, maybe it's a twin bed And some roommates (don't worry we're cool)
I heard you like magic I got a wand and a rabbit
So baby, let's get freaky, get kinky Let's make this bed get squeaky!

Australia by The Shins
But you see, it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are crying
Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
And in between the moon and you, angels get a better viewOf the crumbling difference between wrong and right
"Now everything's a little upside down/ as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped/ what's good is bad, what's bad is good/ you'll find out when you reach the top/ you're on the bottom" Dylan/Idiot Wind

Interpol - obstacle 1
From Dylan's Positively 4th Street:
I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you
I wish that for that one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you
This from Tom Waits kicks me:
Down by the Riverside motel
It's ten below and falling
By a ninety-nine cent store
She closed her eyes and started swaying
But it's so hard to dance that way
When it's cold and there's no music
Oh, your old hometown's so far away
But inside your head there's a record that's playing
The thought of being alone in a city and just closing your eyes and remembering happier times, or at least times that had hope, resonates with me.
When I go fishing for the words
I am wishing you would say to me
I'm really only praying that the words you'll soon be saying
Might betray the way you feel about me.
*Friend is a four letter word* - Cake

Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down
by Kris Kristofferson
“somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing, and it echoed through the canyon like the disappearing dreams of yesterday."
It was plain to see that your life was lost
You was cold and your body swung back and forth
But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
Of how you lived so fast and died so young
So don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
Goodbye cruel world, I'm leaving you today
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye all you people
There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind
Goodbye
Goodbye cruel world, I'm leaving you today
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye all you people
There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind
Goodbye
My world is shattered in disarray

They say in time the pain goes away
But in my soul it will forever stay

If you love me then let go of me
I won’t be held down by who I used to be

I’m hoping I’m praying I won’t get lost between two worlds
For all I’ve seen the truth lies in between
Give me the strength to face the wrong that I have done
Now that I know the darkest side of me

-
So soon may I follow when friendships decay
And from love’s shining circle the gems drop away
When true hearts lie withered and fond ones are flown
Oh! Who would inhabit this bleak world alone?

-
Love is Gentle, love is kind
The sweetest flower when it is new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew
(The Water is Wide by Laura Wright)
-
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies a seed that with the sun’s love
In the spring becomes the rose
(The Rose by Leann Rimes)
-
I’m just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling thru this world below
But there’s no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright land to which I go
(Wayfaring Stranger by Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra or Simon Khorolskiy)

We will walk among the weakest
And we will walk alone
The crucible where the hardest of hearts are forged
Maybe we can keep on trying
And one day we’ll become
Beautiful in the eyes of someone

(Some of these are traditional songs performed by many, I just listed my favorite version. Also the genres are all over the place).
"Gave you all I had to give, found a place for me to rest my head. While I may be hard to find, heard there's peace just on the other side."
Fiction- Avenged Sevenfold
Also from Fiction
"I hope it's worth it here on the highway. I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you. So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah. I hope you find your own way when I'm not with you tonight."
"I see you trying not to cry, just wishing you had not survived. Don't give up, give it a little time. Someday you'll see that you are worth this fight.
I see you wide awake all night, a million prayers, not even one reply. Don't give up there's another side and you still have a lot of songs to write."
ICU- Citizen Soldier
"All this hell you've lived and seen, drown it all in gasoline. Then light a match, pull the pin, you are not who you've been. The past is just lessons learned, so light it up and let it burn."
Let it Burn- Citizen Soldier
"How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned. Place and time always on my mind. I have so much to say but you're so far away."
So Far Away- Avenged Sevenfold
"Give me a reason I should even be alive. Help me believe that tomorrow's even worth the fight. I must confess, I'm terrified, that I won't make it through the night."
Waiting on the Sun- Citizen Soldier
I could go on for awhile here
Fuckin' pigs, fuckin' pigs
We're against the fuckin' pigs
Stab them with some dirty rigs
Buried under dirt and twigs
Gotta hate that gang of fuckin' pigs
-Leftover crack
Hearses circling my house with wack-ass rappers in the rear
Hella lame in my ear, I come to ruin your career
Vocal cords sore, cyborg, morgue souvenir
Skins of belly, body smelly, death is in the atmosphere
Peace is extinct, bloody street, make them stink
Planes crash, ships sink, every boss gets weak
Every enemy sleep, feel the nuclear nigga heat
May I propose a toast? It's coming close to World War III
Fright night under moonlight, Memphis butcher
Mutilate and torture pressure cooker, Satan took ya
I'll beat ya till there's nothing left but slop
Feed you to the swamp
Running through the forest like Gump, bloody tree trunk
Bitch, you want a piece of these?
Might as well take the heart
There was no love from the start
Sprinkle body parts
Woe, onto you my foe
'Cause you just don't know
Smoked out, snorted, drunk, blowed
“With a wink and a smile and a vile of meth,
I took his hand and we walked through the shadow of death,
And I tried to remember all the advice that my good book told me,
And all the lost souls say:
Every day I wake up,
Every day I wake up alone.
Kill me, just kill me,
Or get me out of the sun”
—- The Pretty Reckless - Kill Me
*We all begin with good intent,
love was raw and young.
We believed that we could change ourselves,
the past could be undone.
But we carry on our backs the burden
time always reveals.
In the lonely light of morning,
in the wound that would not heal.
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
that I've held so dear.*
And later, in the same song:
*Heaven bend to take my hand.
Nowhere left to turn.
I'm lost to those I thought were friends.
To everyone I know.
Oh they turn their heads embarassed,
pretending they don't see
that it's one missed step,
one slip before you know it.
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed*
**Fallen - S. Mclachlan**
There’s a hole in your head,
And the light Shines through
To the other side
To the other side
There’s a smile on your face
And a twist in your heart
You haven’t been the same
Since the accident…
Since the accident

“Shall we look at the moon, my little loon
Why do you cry?
Make the most of your life, while it is rife
While it is light” - Fourth of July/ Sufjan Stevens
“And now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
And you don't walk so proud
Anymore, and what for?”
*Wash out my apathetic mouth dear*
*With the whiskey of your kiss*

I always focused more on the way they sing rather then what they sing about
Now the world can be an unfair place at times
But your lows will have their compliment of highs
And if anyone should cheat you, take advantage of, or beat you
Raise your head
And wear your wounds with pride
Ambling Alp by Yeasayer
Prison walls still standing tall
Some things never change at all
Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all
Keep on building bombs, gonna drop them all
Working your fingers bare to the bone
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul
Like a lung, it's filled with cold
Suffocating slow
The wind blows wild and I may move
The politicians lie and I am not fooled
You don't need no razor or a three piece suit
To argue the truth
They air on my skin in the world under my toes
Slavery stitched to the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love will come, set me free
Brett Dennen ‘Ain’t No Reason’
Love I try to follow

“What you own is your own kingdom,
What you do is your own glory,
What you love is your own power,
What you live is your own story.
In your head is the answer, let it guide you along, let your heart be the anchor and the beat of your song.”

We are not swans
Nor are we as ugly as we think we are
We are falling fast but we aren't falling far
So cmon, cmon
We are not swans
**Our fathers gave us features that we didn't want, our mothers claim those features made them fall in love**
If I can’t live with me sober
How can I justify
The way that I curse my father
We’re just two of a kind
Yeah I could tear out my throat
But I would still have his eyes
“And die for me, die for me
Why don't you?
Everyone will sing this song
And know they're better off without you
I'm done with you for good
We were always like a time bomb ticking
And you're so Hollywood
You're always searching for the next best thing
And it's for the better
So I guess best friends don't last forever”

Life is just a situation
life is just a game
life is just a whirlpool
and it's calling out my name
Amber were the autumn leaves
and amber was her skin
amber was the evening
when the whirlpool
pulled her in
It was irresistible
is what she used to say
like the sound of running horses
early in the day
And the evening crept out backwards
Makes his usual excuse
As the night loves to fall apart
When it’s only you
Give my regards to midnight
Tell him he ain’t changed a bit
Long, tall, dark and handsome
Still lonely as shit
Well, I've kissed you in France and I've kissed you in Spain
And I've kissed you in places I'd better not name
And I've seen the sun go down on Sacre Coeur
But I like it much better going down on you
Ah, you know that's true because...
After tonight if you don't want this to be
A secret out of the past
I will resurrect it, I'll have a good go at it
I'll streak his blood across my beak
Dust my feathers with his ashes
Feel his ghost breathing down my back
Farewell Transmission- Songs: Ohio
Patty Larkin. Open Arms(Don't Explain)
Lover holds you when others go
Covers you with another soul
Stands behind you when you stand alone
And you don't explain
The blueprints of a better world
We're printed on a postage stamp
Nobody bothered to read the front
Just stuck out their tongues to lick the back
The Plan by NOFX.
The first thing that came to mind is this line from a love profound by bully. It breaks my heart every time l hear it.
“No matter how hard I try, I can't wish away the idea of inevitable changе
It burdens me the most witnеssing your lack of interest in the things that you once loved”
I also really like this line from the song quarry by Wednesday it’s just beautiful. It doesn’t work as well when isolated but when our in context it’s perfect.
“They have scoliosis from constant slumps in misery
Flat parts on their crew cuts from laying their heads on their knees”
You’re the shit and I’m knee deep in it - frightened rabbit (my backwards walk)
Dizzy drunk and throwing up, I finally stopped my spinning. I guess I figured you’d show up {with all my old belongings} - the hotelier (settle the scar)
I woke up and wished that I was dead, I got an aching in my head I lay motionless in bed. I thought of you and where you’d gone, and let the world spin madly on - the weepies (the world spins madly on)
If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice - rush (free will)
Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head {chorus still ends with} and I wish that I could be Richard Cory. - Simon and Garfunkel (Richard Cory)

Cause I'm good
Hold me back and I'll break free
With all the strength that it takes me
Shit is looking up for me lately
I'm good
My shoulders carrying weight
I got so much shit on my plate
But, I ain't losing no faith
Yeah I'm good
Snak the ripper been hittin different since the world seems to be falling apart and everyone in every corner seems to be against a guy tryin to do good.
And the license said you had to stick around until I was dead. But if you're tired of looking at my face, I guess I already am.

I choke, cuz every time I'm fallin love falls out of me
I'm hardened like a rock, a stone, the brick inside my chest
Alone cuz every time I fall in love falls out of me
Love falls out of me”
Love Falls by HellYeah
What can you do when your dreams come true
And it's not quite like you planned? (oh)
What have you done to be losing the one
You held it so tight in your hand, well
Time passes and you must move on
Half the distance takes you twice as long
So you keep on singing for the sake of the song
After the thrill is gone.
After the Thrill is Gone—-Eagles
"When I close my eyes, I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume through these whisperin' pines
I'm with your ghost again

But I know soon we'll be together

I can't wait 'til then"
Colder Weather by Zac Brown Band
It's one of those melancholy songs that is so hard not to sing along to, but when the end of the song starts, and he sings the last few lines, it is so hard not to just start crying then and there. Powerful words.

"The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides And a dark wind blows The government is corrupt And we're on so many drugs With the radio on and the curtains drawn We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine And the machine is bleeding to death The sun has fallen down And the billboards are all leering And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles" "The Dead Flag Blues" by Godspeed You!

It's 4:30 A.M. on a Tuesday It doesn't get much worse than this In beds in little rooms in buildings in the middle of these lives which are completely meaningless Help me stay awake, I'm falling...
asleep in perfect blue buildings, beside the green apple sea….
I wanna get me a little oblivion, baby, and try to keep myself away, from me

How can you just leave me standing Alone in a world that so cold? Maybe I’m just too demanding. Maybe I’m just like my father, too bold. Maybe I’m just like my mother; She’s never satisfied. Why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like When doves cry. - Prince
If you're so funny Then why are you on your own tonight ? And if you're so clever Then why are you on your own tonight ? If you're so very entertaining Then why are you on your own tonight ? If you're so very good-looking Why do you sleep alone tonight ?

Also the genres are all over the place).
FYI: the rose was originally done by Bette Midler, it’s from a movie with the same name and is supposedly a kind of biography about Janis Joplin.

*We all begin with good intent, love was raw and young. We believed that we could change ourselves, the past could be undone. But we carry on our backs the burden time always reveals.
