Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got the dues in life to pay, yeah
I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You've got to lose to know how to win
Half my life's in books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true, oh
All the things come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Dream On- Aerosmith
 
I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us

I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it's already too late

And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
And I never come back to this town again

In my life, I hope I lie
And tell everyone you were a good wife
And I hope you die

I hope we both die
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises

We're pretty sure they're all wrong
I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
I hope I never get sober

And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way

I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

No children - The Mountain Goats

Not an indication of my mindset, I just think it's a great song and a brutally honest song about a failed relationship
 
Silence is easy
It just becomes me
You don't even know me
All lie about me

Everybody says that I'm looking for a home now
Looking for a boy or I'm looking for a girl now
But I can still let it go, I can still learn to grow
Into a child again

Silence is easy
It just becomes me
You don't even know me
But why lie about me?

Silence is easy
It just becomes me
You don't even know me
Why do you hate me?

Silence is easy
It just becomes me
You don't even know me
You all lie about me

Silence is easy - Starsailor

Last one for today. More personal reasons behind this choice.
 
Tough
You think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I, that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need, I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can you hear me when I sing?
You're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me

Hey now
Still got to let you know
A house doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Sometimes you can't make it on your own - U2
 
I was not ready for the road
I was so discontent to wear that heavy load
And so I got down on my knees
I made a sucker's prayer
A grim bode of baudelaire before

And when nobody did respond
I took my glasses off and went to find a pond
Stuffing rocks into the pockets of my pants
And when I waded in
Those currents carried them away

I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
I've been so long lonely and it's getting me down
I wanna throw my body in the river and drown
I wanna love somebody but I don't know how

So if you're lost along the way
And if you're thinking that will always be the case
Won't you listen to my plea?
You'll make a sucker's prayer
Just go and leave it that-a-way

Sucker's Prayer - The Decemberists

Snippets from Call Me When You're Sober - Evanescence

Don't cry to me
If you love me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind

Couldn't take the blame
Sick with shame
Must be exhausting to lose your own game
Selfishly hated
No wonder you're jaded
You can't play the victim this time

You never call me when you're sober
You only want it 'cause it's over

love how the last repeat of the chorus changes the last line to
I've made up your mind
 
If there comes a day
People posted up at the end of your driveway
They're callin' for your head and they're callin' for your name

I'll bomb down on 'em, I'm comin' through
Did they know I was grown with you?

If they're here to smoke, know I'll go with you
Just keep it outside, keep it outside, yeah

Stay with me, no, you don't need to run
Stay with me, my blood, you don't need to run
Stay with me, no, you don't need to run
Stay with me, my blood, you don't need to run

My Blood - Twenty One Pilots
 
Tonight you look like a dream
Then again you always do to me
After everything we've been through
I still just love to look at you

I can't promise you there won't be pain
I can't promise to remain the same
but when you're scared, I'll be there
tonight, and always

Someday we'll travel the globe
adventure calls us and we'll go
but even if we don't that's okay
as long as I'm with you that's where I'll stay

Always - I Fight Dragons
 
My first mistakе was my last one
Was I in love or just compliant?
That house you livе in's a glass one
And you been spending too much time inside it
I kept it quiet, I let you down
You ran a tight ship, you let me drown
If you're gonna hide from your past, you're gonna need a mask
And I know you don't believe in that

But what the hell do I know?
Guess I'm living life with my eyes closed
You see nothing wrong from your pedestal
Yeah, you should know that someone set the bar too low
I hate to have to be the one who has to let you know
That you're an asshole

Soapbox - The Wrecks
 
I think I fell in love again
Maybe I just took too much cough medicine
I'm the best worst thing that hasn't happened to you yet
The best worst thing
You take the full, full truth, then you pour some out
You take the full, full truth, then you pour some out
And you can kill me, kill me or let God sort ‘em out
And you can kill me, kill me or...whoa oh oh oh oh oh

American Beauty/American Psycho - Fall Out Boy
 
I wish I dreamt in the shape of your mouth
But it's your thread count I really care about
Stay up 'til the lights go out
Stay up, Stay up
You take the full, full truth, then you pour some out
You take the full, full truth, then you pour some out
And as we're drifting off to sleep
All those dirty thoughts of me
They were never yours to keep, keep, whoa oh oh oh oh oh

American Beauty/American Psycho - Fall Out Boy
 
In love, in love, in love you laugh
In love you move, I move
And one more time with feeling
For love, you love, I laugh, you love
Saw you in half
And the stars are splashed across the ceiling

Magneto - NC & The Badseeds
 
And oh darlin', darlin'
What have I done?
Now I do my talking with a gun
And blood will spill into the gutters
And it will stain the morning sun

Ooh, tell me what the hell I've done
Can I stop at one?
Or have I just begun?

Take out the bodies that live
Oh, Lord, it gets me high
I think I'm gonna get my fill
Of taking lives

Oh, Lord, I don't wanna let my baby down
Well I just wanna give us something one of a kind

Oh darlin', darlin'
What have I done?
I've been astray from you too long
And all my days have turned to darkness
Hell is leaving the light on

Oh Darlin What Have I Done - The White Buffalo
 
I can't see where you comin' from
But I know just what you runnin' from:
And what matters ain't the "who's baddest" but
The ones who stop you fallin' from your ladder, baby

And you feel like you feelin' now
And doin' things just to please your crowd,
When I love you like the way I love you,
And I suffer, but I ain't gonna cut you 'cause

This ain't no place for no hero.
This ain't no place for no better man.
This ain't no place for no hero
To call "home."

Short change hero - The Heavy
 
Just a perfect day
drink sangria in a park
and then later
when it gets dark we go home
Just a perfect day
feed animals in the zoo
and then later a movie, too
and then home
Oh it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spend it with you
oh such a perfect dayyou just keep me hangin on
you just keep me hangin on
just a perfect day
problems are left to know
Weekenders all night long
it's such fun
just a perfect day
you make me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
someone good


Lou Reed great song
 
My mood board is just pictures of you
But I'm not sad anymore
So make no plans and none can be broken
No plans and none can be broken
But I didn't take the love when I had the chance
But I swear I'm not sad anymore
So make no plans and none can be broken
No plans and none can be broken

Do you laugh about me whenever I leave?
Or do I still need more therapy?

Love is in the air, I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams, but it was all a fake-out
And I don't care, I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams, but it was all a fake-out, fake-out

Oh, we all started off as shiny dimes
But we all got flipped too many times
We did it for futures that never came
And for pasts that we're never gonna change


Love is in the air, I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams, but it was all a fake-out
And I don't care, I just gotta figure out a window to break out
Buried alive inside my dreams, but it was all a fake-out, fake-out

Fake Out - Fall Out Boy
 
Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress
Hiding in her cellophane world in glitter town
Awaiting the prince in his white Capri
Dynamic young Tarzan courts the bedsit queen
She's playing the actress in this bedroom scene
She's learning her lines from glossy magazines
Stringing all her pearls from her childhood dreams
Auditioning for the leading role on the silver screen
Patience my tinsel angel
Patience my perfumed child
One day they really love you
You'll charm them with that smile
But for now it's just another Chelsea Monday
Drifting with her incense in the labyrinth of London
Playing games with faces in the neon wonderland
Perform to scattered shadows on the shattered cobbled aisles
Would she dare recite soliloquies at the risk of stark applause
She'll pray for endless Sundays as she enters saffron sunsets
Conjure phantom lovers from the tattered shreds of dawn
Fulfilled and yet forgotten the St. Tropez mirage
Fragrant aphrodisiac, the withered tuberose
Patience my tinsel angel, patience my perfumed child
One day they really love you, you'll charm them with that smile
But for now it's just another Chelsea Monday
[Hello John, did you see The Standard about four hours ago?
Fished a young chick out of The Old Father
Blond hair, blue eyes. She said she wanted to be an actress or something
Nobody knows where she came from, where she was going
Funny thing was she had a smile on her face
She was smiling, what a waste]
Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress
Buried in her cellophane world in glitter town
Of Chelsea Monday
