I'm so glad you understand me now
So glad that you found me
When everything I ever did was so wrong
I'm so glad now.

The girl I used to know hides behind herself
Cause she's got nowhere to go
And she told me so.
She wants to continue
It's too late now to break out a smile
Cause you used to be so wild.

I'm so glad you understand me now
So glad that you found me
When everything I ever did was so wrong
I'm so glad now.

Lucy Jones Pt. 2 - Aslan
 
Footsteps, photographs
Not much left in the bottle
Grab my hand and go to bed
Open up enough to know that you're hollow
Young and unimpressed
Still flirting with the waitress
In my mind I'm such a mess
Drunk enough for the both of us

Face down on the grass
Taking a drag like you think it's your last
You're wasted by 10am
Asking god if he's got cigarettes, cigarettes
Red wine and red flags
We just try and ignore them
I cry while you dance
Cause the sky's too bright to look at you

Stay and waste
Another night
Before we call this
As always
Cause you're too far away

Open up enough to know that you're hollow

Asking God For Cigarettes - Moxy The Band
 
Sometimes I lay under the moon
And thank God I'm breathin'
Then I pray, "Don't take me soon
'Cause I am here for a reason"
Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know someday, it'll all turn around because
All my life, I've been waitin' for
I've been prayin' for, for the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There'll be no more wars, and our children will play
One day (one day), one day (one day)
One day (oh-oh-oh)
One day (one day), one day (one day)
One day (oh-oh-oh)
It's not about win or lose
'Cause we all lose when they feed on the souls of the innocent
Blood-drenched pavement
Keep on movin' though the waters stay ragin'
In this maze, you can lose your way, your way
It might drive you crazy
But don't let it faze you, no way, no way


One day Matisyahu
 
Swallowed by the ocean
Carved out by the sea
I always find my place there
Ruining the party

Cannot swim but I can
Drown these parts of me
How many times I've watched them
Pour themselves some sleep
Thought I could see a light in the deep end
(Dive!)

Everyone's here
(You've grown so old now)
But nobody's watching
Your greatest fear
(I miss a part of you)
The blue light is calling
Everyone here's
(The water's cold now)

So tired of talking
Your greatest fear
(Your body's turning blue)
They can't hear you calling

Pull my head from underwater
See my body down below
Keep myself from going under
It's the only place I know

Never been the perfect daughter
Flee my body and it shows
And I just I keep running from ya
It's the only way I know

Ruining The Party - Moxy The Band
 
And if you wanna cry 'bout something
I'll make it something worth crying for
And if you need to curse my name
Curse me good!

And if you want to lie 'bout something
Then make it something worth dying for
And if you need to curse my name
Curse me good!

And don't you smile in my face, spit on my back
Do you kiss your mother with a mouth like that?
Love it, leave it, it's all good for me

Curse me good - The Heavy
 
Baby, I could take you with me; let's escape to the south
No, we don't have any money, but we'll figure it out
When you say that leaving puts a bad taste in your mouth
To be straight, I don't know what you're even talking about
To be straight, I don't know what you're even talking about

It was the summer of '16
I called you up, said I'd be there in a few
I rang your doorbell, you kissed me
I wished that moment would last an hour or two

Remember back when we both were happy?
I swear if it kills me, I'll take us there again
My love, I don't mean to be so black and white
But there's a simple solution

Baby, I could take you with me; let's escape to the south
No, we don't have any money, but we'll figure it out
When you say that leaving puts a bad taste in your mouth
To be straight, I don't know what you're even talking about
To be straight, I don't know what you're even talking about

'Cause I know you
And I know your restless heart
I could save you
If we weren't so far apart

I had a dream that your heart died
Woke up to watch it become reality
It makes you nauseous when men cry
I left the room so you could stomach the sight of me

Remember when all we talked about was love?
Back when I saved up and bought that diamond ring?
Believe me, darling, I can't stand waking up
Miles apart, chasing different things

Baby, I could take you with me; let's escape to the south
No, we don't have any money, but we'll figure it out
When you say that leaving puts a bad taste in your mouth
To be straight, I don't know what you're even talking about

'Cause I know you
And I know your restless heart
I could save you
If we weren't so far apart

Honey, if I had the time, I'd take us back to the start
But I know that's not what you want and it tears me apart
When you say I need to take the time to figure you out
To be straight, I don't know what the hell you're talking about
To be straight, I don't know what the hell you're talking about
You're talking about
You're talking about
You're talking about

The South - John Louis
 
Fill me with wax, and then colour me gold.
Look at my scars. They’re beautiful.
They held me together when I wanted to let go.
I’m a kintsugi sculpture and I need it to be known.
I’m chiselling until there’s nothing left.
Nobody could hurt me the way that I’ve hurt myself.

I’m breaking myself down to dust again.
Trying my best to make a masterpiece in the end.
There’s an angel in the marble that I’m trying to set free
Chopping and hacking to get to the best parts of me
Destroy to create; who would have known?
There’s a sacrifice for growth.

I am a puzzle
I am a painting
I am a work of
Art in the making.
Trust in your hand and
Trust in the process.
I am a work of
Art in the progress.
I learned from my flaws and I
Cut myself open.
Glued myself better.
Golden; unbroken.
Now all I have left is
A handful of hope and
A thousand laments
That I can’t leave unspoken.

The noble art of self-destruction guiding my hand,
I’ll merge the man that I was hoping I could be with the man that I know that I am.
The noble art of self-destruction guiding my hand.

Holding Absence - The Angel In The Marble
 
I don't have favorite lyrics, but these lyrics are one of which always stood out to me.


WISH I MAY, WISH I MIGHT
HAVE THIS I WISH TONIGHT
ARE YOU SATISFIED?
DIG FOR GOLD, DIG FOR FAME
YOU DIG TO MAKE YOUR NAME
ARE YOU PACIFIED?

ALL THE WANTS YOU WASTE
ALL THE THINGS YOU’VE CHASED

THEN IT ALL CRASHES DOWN
AND YOU BREAK YOUR CROWN
AND YOU POINT YOUR FINGER
BUT THERE’S NO ONE AROUND
JUST WANT ONE THING
JUST TO PLAY THE KING
BUT THE CASTLE’S CRUMBLED
AND YOU’RE LEFT WITH JUST A NAME

WHERE’S YOUR CROWN,
KING NOTHING?
WHERE’S YOUR CROWN?

HOT AND COLD, BOUGHT AND SOLD
A HEART AS HARD AS GOLD
ARE YOU SATISFIED?
WISH I MIGHT, WISH I MAY
YOU WISH YOUR LIFE AWAY
ARE YOU PACIFIED?

ALL THE WANTS YOU WASTE
ALL THE THINGS YOU’VE CHASED

THEN IT ALL CRASHES DOWN
AND YOU BREAK YOUR CROWN
AND YOU POINT YOUR FINGER
BUT THERE’S NO ONE AROUND
JUST WANT ONE THING
JUST TO PLAY THE KING
BUT THE CASTLE’S CRUMBLED
AND YOU’RE LEFT WITH JUST A NAME
WHERE’S YOUR CROWN, KING NOTHING?
WHERE’S YOUR CROWN?

I WISH I MAY, I WISH I MIGHT
HAVE THIS WISH I WISH TONIGHT
I WANT THAT STAR, I WANT IT NOW
I WANT IT ALL AND I DON’T CARE HOW

CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH
CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY
CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH, YOU MAY REGRET IT
CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH, YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT

THEN IT ALL CRASHES DOWN
AND YOU BREAK YOUR CROWN
AND YOU POINT YOUR FINGER
BUT THERE’S NO ONE AROUND
JUST WANT ONE THING
JUST TO PLAY THE KING
BUT THE CASTLE’S CRUMBLED
AND YOU’RE LEFT WITH JUST A NAME

WHERE’S YOUR CROWN, KING NOTHING?

NOTHING

YOU’RE JUST NOTHING
WHERE’S YOUR CROWN, KING NOTHING?
YOU’RE JUST NOTHING
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

OFF TO NEVER-NEVER LAND...
 
I'm holding out and I'm holding on
To every letter and every song
I wrote myself out of the day we ever had to meet
Are you through with me?

So, and when it all goes to Hell, will you be able to tell
Me "sorry" with a straight face?
And when it all goes to Hell, will you be able to tell
Me "sorry" with a straight face? (Let's go!)

I'm all ears and I'm all scars
To hear you tell me, "Boys like you, you try too hard
To look not quite as desperate," I'm hanging on
But I still know the way to make your makeup run

So, and when it all goes to Hell, will you be able to tell
Me "sorry" with a straight face?
And when it all goes to Hell, will you be able to tell
Me sorry with a straight face

And when it all goes to Hell, will you be able to tell
Me "sorry" with a straight face?
And when it all goes to Hell, will you be able to tell
(Take this to your grave)
Me "sorry" with a straight face?
(And I'll take it to mine)

And when it all goes to Hell
And when it all goes to Hell
And when it all goes to Hell
And when it all goes …

The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes - Fall Out Boy
 
I walk in the room, and I can't conceive it
The hospital bed, you're fighting to breathe in
I'm holding your hand but it's losing color
I know you weren't ready to go
Where you are now, God only knows

I guess Heaven really needed you
To leave us in that vacant room
A different you that's doing well
A universe laid parallel

A hundred things that I could lose
Not one of them could lead to you
A different version of yourself
A universe laid parallel

A panic attack at five in the morning
We bury the dead without any warning
It hits me in waves, the lack of color
I know you weren't ready to go
Where you are now, God only knows

I guess Heaven really needed you
To leave us in that vacant room
A different you that's doing well
A universe laid parallel

A hundred things that I could lose
Not one of them could lead to you
A different version of yourself
A universe laid parallel

Dayseeker - Parallel
 
I've been taking some time to be distant
I've been taking some time to be still
I've been taking some time to be by myself
And I've spent half my life ill
But just as sure as the tide starts turning
Just as sure as the night has dawn
Just as sure as rainfall soon runs dry
When you stand in an eye of the storm
I was made to be tested and twisted
I was made to be broken and beat
I was made by His hand, it's all part of His plan
That I stand on my own two feet
And you know me, my will is eternal
And you know me, you've met me before
Face to with a beast, I will rise from the east
And I'll settle on the ocean floor


More lyrics from the same song



And there were no real losers in physiological warfare
But there were victims and there were students
It wasn't David versus Goliath, it was a pendulum
Eternally swayin' from the dark to the light
And the more intensely that the light shone, the darker the shadow it cast

Hi Ren - Ren
 
Keep fighting for the things that you love
Keep on fighting for the things that we trust
Everybody's got a lesson to learn
Everybody's got a fire to burn

And when it's all said and done, we don't run
When it's all said and done, we can't run
Oh, when it's all said and done, we don't run
We don't run, we don't, we don't, 'cause

Ain't nothin' too bad
Ain't nothin' too strong
Ain't nothin' too dangerous
To get where I want (I want)
I made a deal with justice
I made a pact with pride
I made it all on honor

I put it on the line

Put it on the line - The Heavy
 
Don't cry,
There's always a way
Here in November in this house of leaves
We'll pray
Please, I know it's hard to believe
To see a perfect forest
Through so many splintered trees
You and me
And these shadows keep on changing

And I'm haunted
By the lives that I have loved
And actions I have hated
I'm haunted
By the promises I've made
And others I have broken
I'm haunted
By the lives that wove the web
Inside my haunted head

I'll always love you
I'll always need you
I'll always want you
And I will always miss you

Come here
No I won't say please
One more look at the ghost
Before I'm gonna make it leave
Come here
I've got the pieces here
Time to gather up the splinters
Build a casket for my tears

Haunted - Poe
 
I am not a stranger to the dark
"Hide away, " they say
"'Cause we don't want your broken parts"
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
"Run away, " they say
"No one'll love you as you are"

But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
 
Save me from the movies and someone else's dreams
While angels make their music and give my spirit wings
I just concertina and wrap around the world
Staying out till six o'clock and singing like a fool

Save my feet from dancing with just anyone at all
Worn out shoes cause lotus blue keeps hanging in the hall
And you're this face in the distance I hope to recognize
But it's like running through deep water trying to look into your eyes
I've only got this morning to live

Look at all the colors at my fingertips
I don't want to stand still
I just want to freewheel

Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on my soul
I don't want to lose this

Freewheel - Duke Special
 
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
And the hot sun chills me to the bone
When I can't hear the song for the singer
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone

I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own

When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain
And the stars start to splatter in the sky
When the moon splits the southwest horizon
With the scream of an eagle on the fly

I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And listen to the ripples as they moan
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own

Black muddy river, roll on forever
I don't care how deep or wide if you've got another side
Roll muddy river, roll muddy river
Black muddy river, roll

Black muddy river, roll on forever
I don't care how deep or wide if you've got another side
Roll muddy river, roll muddy river
Black muddy river, roll

When it seems like the night will last forever
And there's nothing left to do but count the years
When the strings of my heart start to sever
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears

I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And dream me a dream of my own
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
And sing me a song of my own
 
This life was all it had to be
Designed but not for you and me
I watched you turn into it
Anything more than human
We tried to love, to lose, to grieve
Our time was always out of reach
I never needed you to be
Anything more than human

Bad Omens & ERRA - Anything > Human
 
And sometimes when you're on, you're really fucking on
And your friends they sing along and they love you
But the lows are so extreme, that the good seems fucking cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absence

But you'll fight and you'll make it through
You'll fake it if you have to
And you'll show up for work with a smile
You'll be better and you'll be smarter and more grown up
And a better daughter or son
And a real good friend

You'll be awake, you'll be alert
You'll be positive though it hurts
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
You'll be a real good listener
You'll be honest, you'll be brave
You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful
You'll be happy!

A Better Son/Daughter- Rilo Kiley
 
Not really a favourite, but reminds me of sitting with my Nan as she slipped away earlier this year


Wide awake, tracing tracks of her tears
Cornered the nurse to get the gist of it
I promised her I'd get her out of the care home
The place was fallin' to bits
Understaffed and overruled by callous hands
The poor nurse was around the clock
And the beauty of youth had left my breaking heart
But it wasn't hard when you love someone
Oh, I stayed all night 'til you left this life 'cause that's just love
