Regina Spektor - 'Man Of A Thousand Faces'

The man of a thousand faces
Sits down at the table
Eats a small lump of sugar
And smiles at the moon like he knows her
And begins his quiet ascension
Without anyone's sturdy instruction
To a place of no religion
Has found a path to our alikeness

His words are quiet like stains are
On a table cloth washed in a river
Stains that are trying to cover, for each other
Or at least blend in with the pattern
Good is better than perfect
Scrub til your fingers are bleeding
And I'm crying for things that I tell others to do without crying

He used to go to his favorite bookstores
And rip out his favorite pages
And stuff them into his breast pocket
And the moon to him was a stranger
Now he sits down at the table
Right next to the window
And begins his quiet ascension
Without anyone's sturdy instruction
To a place of no religion
Has found a path to our alikeness
And eats a small lump of sugar.

Bloc Party - 'Flux'

There is lightning in this room
Above our heads waiting to strike
Im a thinker not a talker
Put your faith, your faith in God

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of Flux.

The Killers - 'Spaceman'

You know that I was hoping,
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind.
But when they cut me open,
I guess that changed my mind.

And you know I might,
Have just flown too far from the floor this time.
'Cause they're calling me by my name.

And they're zipping white light beams,
Disregarding bombs and satellites.
And that was the turning point,
That was one lonely night.

The Smiths - 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out'

Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
No, I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes in to us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine.

Counting Crows - 'Colourblind'

I am taffy stuck, tongue tied.
Stuttered, shook and uptight.
Pull me out from inside.
I am ready,
I am ready,
I am ready,
I am.. fine.

I am covered in skin.
No one gets to come in.
Pull me out from inside.
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding.
I am colorblind.

David Cook - 'Life On The Moon'

Here in this crowd I'm feeling all alone,
Turn me around and point me back to home.
I'm getting lost more everyday,
And I can't tear myself away,
From the stars in my eyes with no light.

Flown off the ground, my head's up in the air.
Self-conscious to a fault with all the people everywhere.

Getting lost in my own atmosphere,
Stars in the sky, all the stars in my eyes.
Is the cost of getting out of here alive.

Incubus - 'Pardon Me'

Not two days ago,
I was having a look in a book.
And I saw a picture of a guy,
Fried up above his knee.
I said, "I can relate,"
'Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication.
As a welcome vacation from the burdens of the planet Earth.
Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being free,
But thinking so much differently.

So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me...
I'll never be the same!

30 Seconds To Mars - 'From Yesterday'

He's a stranger to some
And a vision to none.
He can never get enough,
Get enough of the one.

For a fortune he'd quit,
But it's hard to admit,
How it ends and begins.
On his face is a map of the world.

Mumford and Sons - 'Little Lion Man'

Weep for yourself, my man,
You'll never be what is in your heart
Weep Little Lion Man,
You're not as brave as you were at the start
Rate yourself and rake yourself,
Take all the courage you have left
Wasted on fixing all the problems
That you made in your own head

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my dear?
