My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
He doesn't build ships, he has no use for sails
He doesn't make tables, dresses or chairs
He can't carve a whistle 'cause he just doesn't care

My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
Kings and queens have all knocked on his door
Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please

My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
He's made one for himself...

- My Boy Builds Coffins, Florence+the Machine

Stay with me now I'm facing my last solemn hour
Very soon I'll embrace you on the other side
Hear the crowd in the distance, screaming out my faith
Now their voices are fading, I can feel no more pain

I'll face it 'cause it's the heart of everything

You've been walking, you've been hiding
And you look half dead half the time
Monitoring you, like machines do
You've still got it
I'm just keeping an eye...

I know the way you go cos I've been the same for too long
Like I'm fearful that my choices are all wrong
I know the way you go cos I've lived your life of make believe
Dying to live

Tell me this, is it lonely in the shadow of a masquerade for life you hide behind
What's the deal with your reasons to run away and let your feelings leave you undefined

I know the way you go...

A drop in the water, a look in your eye,
A phone on the table, a man on your side,
Or someone that you think you can trust,
It's just, another way to die.

Another Way to Die, Alicia Keyes

I wrote your name upon the back of my hand
Slept upon it, then I woke up with it backwards on my face
Reading forwards from my mirror to my heart

The more I stay in here
The more it's not so clear
The more I stay in here
The more I disappear
As far as I have gone
I knew what side I'm on
But now I'm not so sure
The line begins to blur

And I said just about
All of the things you shouldn't say...

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need To see me through

You've got the love by Florence and the Machine

You're in control
Is there anywhere you wanna go?
You're in control
Is there anything you wanna know?
The future's for discovering
The space in which we're traveling...

stealing away into the night
won't get you any higher
we'll never sleep god knows we'll try
the hospital is closed

and how long will it last
before we go insane?

I gave myself to sin
I gave myself to providence
And I've been there and back again

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

The way things have fallen
Can't be afraid anymore
First we were water
In creation lake
Have to start to end
To go where life lives
