unfold @ marie digby what I can remember is a lot like water, trickling down a page of the most beautiful colors. I can't quite put my finger down on the moment that I became like this. you see I'm the bravest girl you'll ever come to meet. yet I shrink down to nothing at the thought of someone really seeing me. I think my heart is wrapped around and tangled up in winding weeds. but I don't want to go on living being so afraid of showing someone else my imperfections. and even though my feet are trembling, every word I say comes stumbling. I will bare it all. watch me unfold, unfold, unfold. these hands that I hold behind my back are bound and broken from my own doing, and I can't feel anything anymore. I need a touch to remind me I'm still real. because I don't wanna go on living being so afraid of showing someone else my imperfections. and even though my feet are trembling, every word I say comes stumbling. I will bare it all. watch me unfold, unfold, unfold. my soul, it's dying to be free. I can't live the rest of my life so guarded. it's dying to be free. it's up to me to choose what kind of life I lead. because I don't wanna go on living being so afraid of showing someone else my imperfections. and even though my feet are trembling, every word I say comes stumbling, I will bare it all. watch me unfold, unfold, unfold, unfold, unfold, unfold. I will allow someone to love me.
a day late @ anberlin so let me get this straight. say now you loved me all along. what made you hesitate to tell me with words what you really feel? I can see it in your eyes you mean all of what you say. I remember so along ago, see I felt that same way. now we both have separate lives and lovers. insignificantly enough we both have significant others. only time will tell. time will turn and tell. we are who, we were when could have been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend. we are who, we are who we were when. who knew what we know now? could have been more but at least you're still my day late friend. we are who, we are who we were when. but thoughts they change and times they rearrange. I don't know who you are anymore. loves come and go and this I know: I'm not who you recall anymore, but I must confess you're so much more than I remember. can't help but entertain these thoughts, thoughts of us together. we are who we were when. could have been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend. we are who, we are who we were when. who knew what we know now? could have been more but at least you're still my day late friend. we are who, we are who we were when. my day late friend. so let me get this straight. all these years and you were no where to be found. and now you want me for your own, but you're a day late and my love, she's still renowned. we are who we were when. could have been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend. we are who, we are who we were when. who knew what we know now? could have been more but at least you're still my day late friend. we are who, we are who we were when.

patterns of fairy tales @ the national tonight there isn't any light under your door. I guess you must be somewhere breathing where skin and everything still know what they are for, and blood remembers where to go. I fell in love with you no matter what you say, but you were right about the reasons to turn a magdeline into the month of May. I should've known the magdeline was me. so I'm turning on the stereo, and I'm lining up the names on the mixes I made before you, and I'm turning into fairy tales with glitter and some glue, everything we ever planned to ever do. tonight there isn't any light under your door. I guess you must be somewhere breathing in patterns unfamiliar to the one you're underneath. I pinned those patterns in my coat. so I'm turning on the stereo, and I'm turning into fairy tales. yes I'm turning on the stereo, and I'm turning into you.
claire @ matt pond pray to the simple machines that do not rely on belief, the softness of steam and of gears. their energy is surely pure. the kindness of engines is not in you. Claire you do it perfectly. the water is all on it’s own. it goes where it wants to go. the telephone can’t dry it up, and sleeplessness won’t make it slow. if opposites are the best chance of hope, Claire you do it perfectly. the line straight to defeat is based upon belief. that’s how we are sustained. on pretty girls make graves. sweetly you punctuate weakness. Claire you do it perfectly. the highway it helps to forget. the straightness it doesn’t betray. it lies on in where it lies. it’s courtesy is it exists. that’s how we are sustained. on pretty girls make graves. the line straight to defeat is based upon belief. confirmed and cataloged your lies. Claire you do it perfectly
acoustic #3 @ the goo goo dolls they painted up your secrets with the lies they told to you, and the least they ever gave you was the most you ever knew. and I wonder where these dreams go when the world gets in your way. what's the point in all this screaming? no one's listening anyway. your voice is small and fading, and you hide in here unknown. and your mother loves your father cause she's got nowhere to go. and she wonders where these dreams go cause the world got in her way. what's the point in ever trying? nothing's changing anyway. they press their lips against you, and you love the lies they say. and I tried so hard to reach you, but you're falling anyway. and you know I see right through you, cause the world gets in your way. what's the point in all this screaming? you're not listening anyway.
silvery sleds @ army navy we were the gray sound boys. we break. we just may dance. weather the coldest horse on the warmth of the warheads, we float away on silvery sleds perfecting my useless charms. we bend. we break. we just can’t stand it. we got no money so we’re running away. this time is wrong. let’s demand it. is there a cure? between the cracks in the asphalt the lines are drawn and quickly divide, meant from the boldest darks. as the summers migrate the frost recedes away for the fight to hide in the thickest fog. we bend. we break. we just can’t stand it. we got no money so we’re running away. this time is wrong. let’s demand it. is there a cure? cause everybody knows there’s no solution. not everybody gets what they would like. I don’t wanna be in this place forever, I don’t wanna be here for tonight. I did my strutting in some other life. cause everybody knows there’s no solution, not everybody gets what they would like. I don’t wanna be in this place forever, I don’t wanna be here for tonight. if I try to run, do you think I might find it? I don’t think there is time. if you wanna go that’s your decision. I’ve never been the one that said goodbye. cause everybody knows there’s no solution, not everybody gets what they would like. I don’t wanna be in this place forever, I don’t wanna be here for tonight. if I tried to run, do you think I’d find it? I don’t even think that there is time. if you wanna go that’s your decision. never been the one that ever said goodbye.
daughters @ john mayer I know a girl. she puts the color inside of my world, but she's just like a maze where all of the walls are continually changed. and I've done all I can to stand on her steps with my heart in my hand. now I'm starting to see maybe it's got nothing to do with me. fathers, be good to your daughters. daughters will love like you do. girls become lovers who turn into mothers. so mothers, be good to your daughters too. oh, you see that skin? it's the same she's been standing in. since the day she saw him walking away. now she's left cleaning up the mess he made. so fathers, be good to your daughters. daughters will love like you do. girls become lovers who turn into mothers. so mothers, be good to your daughters too. boys, you can break. you find out how much they can take. boys will be strong, and boys soldier on, but boys would be gone without warmth from a woman's good, good heart. on behalf of every man looking out for every girl: you are the guide and the weight of her world. so fathers, be good to your daughters. daughters will love like you do. girls become lovers who turn into mothers. so mothers be good to your daughters, too.
truth hurts @ the honeymoon tie a knot in my throat inhale your passive smoke. I hope you didn't mean it. disguise this love inside of me. I stumble around. tomorrow gets me down. I'm living in someone's yesterdays. so figure out what you want and subtract from what you've got. guess I've long since moved out of reach when I say we should live a little faster and think a little slower. and does the truth hurt? cause these lies are killing me. just the butt of a joke, so pull the trigger up in smoke. escape the noise with whispered tones. escape the noise with whispered tones. if looks could kill would I take the pain, a thousand breakdowns take their strain. my tolerance has made me weak. this is bigger than you or me. guess I've long since moved out of reach when I say we should live a little faster and think a little slower and does the truth hurt? cause these lies are killing me.

runs in the family @ amanda palmer my friend has problems with winter and autumn. they give him prescriptions. they shine bright lights on him. they say it’s genetic. they say he can’t help it. they say you can catch it, but sometimes you’re born with it. my friend has blight. he gets shakes in the night, and they say there's no way that they could have caught it in time - takes its toll on him. it is traditional. it is inherited. predisposition. all day I’ve been wondering what is inside of me. who can I blame for it? I say it runs in the family. this famine that carries me to such great lengths to open my legs up to anyone who’ll have me. it runs in the family. I come by it honestly. do what you want cause who knows it might fill me up. my friend’s depressed. she’s a wreck. she’s a mess. they’ve done all sorts of tests, and they guess it has something to do with her grandmother’s grandfather’s grandmother civil war soldiers who badly infected her. my friend has maladies, rickets, and allergies that she dates back to the 17th century. somehow she manages in her misery, strips in the city and shares all her best tricks. with me? well, I’m well. well, I mean I’m in hell. well, I still have my health, at least that’s what they tell me. if wellness is this, what in hell’s name is sickness? but business is business and business runs in the family. we tend to bruise easily, bad in the blood I’m telling you cause I just want you to know me. know me and my family. we’re wonderful folks, but don’t get too close to me cause you might knock me up. Mary have mercy now look what I’ve done, but don’t blame me because I can’t tell where I come from. and running is something that we’ve always done well, and mostly I can’t even tell what I’m running from. I run from their pity from responsibility, run from the country and run from the city. I can run from the law. I can run from myself. I can run for my life. I can run into debt. I can run from it all. I can run till I’m gone. I can run for the office and run from the cause. I can run using every last ounce of energy. I cannot, I cannot, I cannot run from my family. they’re hiding inside me. corpses on ice. come in if you’d like, but just don’t tell my family. they’d never forgive me. they’ll say that I’m crazy but they would say anything if it would shut me up.
coma white @ marilyn manson there's something cold and blank behind her smile. she's standing on an overpass in her miracle mile. "you were from a perfect world, a world that threw me away today. today, to run away." a pill to make you numb, a pill to make you dumb, a pill to make you anybody else, but all the drugs in this world won't save her from herself. her mouth was an empty cut, and she was waiting to fall. just bleeding like a polaroid that lost all her dolls. "you were from a perfect world, a world that threw me away today. today, to run away." a pill to make you numb, a pill to make you dumb, a pill to make you anybody else. all the drugs in this world won't save her from herself.
half a week before the winter @ vanessa carlton half a week before the winter the chill bites before it comes, and I'm a child of the pleasure that he brings before he runs. he sits behind a desk of mahogany. he whispers dreams into my ear, and though I've given him his empire, he delivers me my fear. the unicorns are riding high, powerful in coats of white. I turn to look and burn my eyes. I carry on, I carry all the weight of empty promise, as I stand swallowed by the light flickering above the highway. I hold my head and know the streets are mine tonight. the vampires are growing tired. the coats of white all turn to red. my heart burns with desire. I carry on, I carry on. the unicorns are riding high, powerful in coats of white. we turn to look and burn our eyes. I carry on, I carry - the vampires are growing tired. the coats of white all turn to red. my heart burns with desire. I carry on, I carry on. I carry on, I carry on. We carry on
me, i'm not @ nine inch nails well it's happening, never planned on this. you've got something I need, kind of dangerous. and I'm losing control. I'm not used to this. what you want from me? I'm not used to this. I can't shut it off, this thing I've begun, and it's hard to tell just where it's coming from. and it's hard to see what I'm capable of, and it's hard to believe just what I've become. hey, can we stop? me, I'm not. hey, can we stop? me, I'm not. hey, can we stop? me, I'm not. hey, can we stop? me, I'm not. I can swallow it down, keep it all inside. I define myself by how well I hide. I feel it coming apart. well, at least I tried. I can win this war by knowing not to fight. if I take it all back, someway, somehow. if I knew back then what I know right now. hey can we stop? me, I'm not. hey can we stop? me, I'm not. hey, can we stop? me, I'm not. hey, can we stop? me, I'm not.

breakable @ ingrid michaelson have you ever thought about what protects our hearts? just a cage of rib bones and other various parts. so it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess, and to stop the muscle that makes us confess. and we are so fragile, and our cracking bones make noise, and we are just breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys. you fasten my seatbelt because it is the law. in your two ton death trap I finally saw a piece of love in your face that bathed me in regret. then you drove me to places I'll never forget. and we are so fragile, and our cracking bones make noise, and we are just breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys. and we are so fragile, and our cracking bones make noise, and we are just breakable, breakable, breakable girls, breakable, breakable, breakable girls, breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys.

lions @ lights give me a disaster, give me an emergency. stand me at the head of the crusade without a remedy. show me to the shipwreck, show me how your bones shake, and when I'm at the edge of sorrow's blade, show me how a heart breaks. be steady on your feet, no matter the trouble you meet. lions make you brave, giants give you faith. death is a charade, you don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid. find me at the bottom looking at the vultures, standing in the heart of the disease following the hard curves. I'm looking for the thunder, I'm looking for the blackness. I'm learning how to get up off my knees and all it takes is practice. be ready on your feet, no matter the trouble you meet. lions make you brave, giants give you faith. death is a charade, you don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid.

grounds for divorce @ elbow Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid.

someday @ rob thomas you can go, you can start all over again. you can try to find a way to make another day go by, you can hide, hold all your feelings inside. you can try to carry on when all you want to do is cry. and maybe someday we'll figure all this out, try to put an end to all our doubt, try to find a way to make things better now and maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud. we'll be better off somehow, someday. now wait and try to find another mistake. if you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind. you can run, oh, and when everything is over and done, you can shine a little light on everything around you. man it's good to be someone. and maybe someday we'll figure all this out, try to put an end to all our doubt, try to find a way to make things better now and maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud. we'll be better off somehow, someday. and I don't want to wait, I just want to know, I just want to hear you tell me so. give it to me straight. tell it to me slow. 'cause maybe someday we'll figure all this out. we'll put an end to all our doubt, try to find a way to just feel better now and maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud. we'll be better off somehow, someday. 'cause sometimes we don't really notice just how good it can get. so maybe we should start all over, start all over again.
pretend @ lights once in a while I act like a child to feel like a kid again. it gets like a prison in the body I'm living in. 'cause everyone's watching, quick to start talking. I'm losing my innocence. wish I were a little girl without the weight of the world. it would be nice to start over again, before we were men. I'd give, I'd bend. let's play pretend. remember the time we had soda for wine and got by on gratitude. the worst they could do to you was check your attitude. yeah, when fights were for fun, we had water in guns, and a place we could call our own. how we lost hold of home, I guess I'll never know. it would be nice to start over again, before we were men. I'd give, I'd bend. let's play pretend. and when it's the end our lives will make sense. we'd love, we'd give, we'd bend. let's play pretend. it's not going to be long before we're all gone with nothing to show for them. stop taking lives, come on let's all grow up again. it would be nice to start over again, before we were men. I'd give, I'd bend. let's play pretend. and when it's the end our lives will make sense, and love, even let's play pretend.
invincible @ ok go when they finally come to destroy the earth, they'll have to go through you first. I bet they won't be expecting that. when they finally come to destroy the earth, they'll have to deal with you first, and now my money says they won't know about the thousand fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes. invincible. you're invincible. that crushing crashing atom-smashing white-hot thing it's invincible. when they finally come, what'll you do to them? gonna decimate them like you did to me? will you leave them stunned and stuttering when they finally come? how will you handle them? will you devastate them deliberately? 'cause I'm gonna guess they won't be prepared for thousand fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes. invincible. you're invincible. that crushing crashing atom-smashing white-hot thing it's invincible. so please use your powers for good. you're invincible.
