"Defeated" by Breaking Benjamin

"Defeated" by Breaking Benjamin

==============================

Slip away, your vanity is gone, I'm falling out of place

We all fall down, the pain goes on

We bear through the war and turn the lost away

We all fall down, the pain goes on

And I'll be the fire that dries the flood

As I fight for one last breath

I keep holding on, no love to believe in

As I drag the devil down

I will stand alone, no longer defeated

Stripped away, we rise above it all, forgotten and betrayed

We all fall down, the pain goes on

No better than before, still broken and afraid

We all fall down, the pain goes on

And I'll be the cloud that hides the sun

As I fight for one last breath

I keep holding on, no love to believe in

As I drag the devil down

I will stand alone, no longer defeated

I'm falling to pieces, maimed and used

I know what I need and it's not you

It's not you

As I fight for one last breath

I keep holding on, no love to believe in

As I drag the devil down

I will stand alone, no longer defeated

No longer defeated

No longer defeated

"July" by Katatonia

==============================

You come clean

Waves collide now

Defenseless numb arms

And no voice of reason

So how come you invited me too

You knew I wanted you

You glide above

So this night belongs to you

I know this isn't through

Are you dead to love

I see the bright lights

It's the month of July

It's violent here

Why have you left me

If only you could stay

And keep me in

It's violent here

Why did you run from me

So how come you invited me too

You knew I wanted you

You glide above

So this night belongs to you

I know this isn't through

Are you dead to love

Heat

Night devour me

Repeat

Repetition

I see the bright lights

It's the month of July

It's violent here

Why have you left me

If only you could stay

And keep me in

It's violent here

Why did you run from me

"Soldier Side" by System Of A Down

==============================

Dead men lying on the bottom of the grave

Wondering, when savior comes, is he gonna be saved

Maybe you're a sinner into your alternate life

Maybe you're a joker, maybe you deserve to die

They were crying when their sons left

God is wearing black

He's gone so far to find no hope

He's never coming back

They were crying when their sons left

All young men must go

He's come so far to find the truth

He's never going home

Young men standing on the top of their own graves

Wondering, when Jesus comes, are they gonna be saved

Cruelty to the winner, bishop tells the king his lies

Maybe you're a mourner, maybe you deserve to die

They were crying when their sons left

God is wearing black

He's gone so far to find no hope

He's never coming back

They were crying when their sons left

All young men must go

He's come so far to find no truth

He's never going home

Welcome to the soldier side

Where there's no one here but me

People all grow up to die

There is no one here but me

Welcome to the soldier side

There is no one here but me

People on the soldier side

There is no one here but me

On the first light of the day you march on

Departure has arrived, don't look back

Avoid the darkness, stay awake, stay out of sight

Until you feel the blast of a shooting star

Following the spark like a rocket in the sky

Between the bear and the scorpion, getting close

Headed north, frozen land where tigers go to die

Don't fear the cold, it'll numb your memories out

You are higher in the sky

Learn the skill to stay alive; survival

The city is so mean, you're being watched

Reach the tunnel, light the torch, you're on the hunt

Until the light calls you back into the wild

When you get to the other side please send a sign

It'll fly through the atmosphere in time

And if you hold the truth within your hands

You won't be sent back through the rain reborn

Everlasting love is ever-growing

Hang on to what you have and let it grow

Everlasting love is ever-dying

It's in the past, you have to let it go

It's not in the way that you hold me

It's not in the way you say you care

It's not in the way you've been treating my friends

It's not in the way that you stayed 'til the end

It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

Hold the line

Love isn't always on time, whoa, whoa, whoa

Hold the line

Love isn't always on time, whoa, whoa, whoa

It's not in the words that you told me, girl

It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh

It's not in the way that you came back to me

It's not in the way that your love set me free

It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

Hold the line

Love isn't always on time, whoa, whoa, whoa

Hold the line

Love isn't always on time, whoa, whoa, whoa

It's not in the words that you told me

It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh

It's not in the way that you came back to me

It's not in the way that your love set me free

It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

Hold the line

Love isn't always on time, whoa, whoa, whoa

Hold the line

Love isn't always on time

Love isn't always on time

Hold the line

Love isn't always on time

Love isn't always, love isn't always on time

Hold the line

Love isn't always on time

Love isn't always on time

Love isn't always on time

Love isn't always on time, whoa, whoa, whoa

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven

When she gets there, she knows if the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven

There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

It makes me wonder

It makes me wonder

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west

And my spirit is crying for leaving

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees

And the voices of those who stand looking

It makes me wonder

It really makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune

Then the piper will lead us to reason

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long

And the forests will echo with laughter

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now

It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run

There's still time to change the road you're on

And it makes me wonder

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know

The piper's calling you to join him

Dear lady can you hear the wind blow, and did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind, oh

And as we wind on down the road

Our shadow's taller than our soul

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last

When all are one and one is all, yeah

To be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor

Sewed my new blue jeans

My father was a gamblin' man

Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and trunk

And the only time that he's satisfied

Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother, tell your children

Not to do what I have done

Spend your lives in sin and misery

In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I've got one foot on the platform

The other foot on the train

I'm going back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many young poor boy

And God, I know I'm one

We all came out to Montreux

On the Lake Geneva shoreline

To make records with a mobile

We didn't have much time

A-Frank Zappa and the Mothers

Were at the best place around

But some stupid with a flare gun

Burned the place to the ground

Smoke on the water

A fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

They burned down the gambling house

It died with an awful sound

A-Funky Claude was running in and out

Pulling kids out the ground

When it all was over

We had to find another place

But Swiss time was running out

It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water

A fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

We ended up at the Grand Hotel

It was empty, cold and bare

But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside, heh

Making our music there

With a few red lights, heh, a few old beds, heh

We made a place to sweat

No matter what we get out of this, heh

I know, I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water

A fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young

In a world of magnets and miracles

Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary

The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the long road and on down the causeway

Do they still meet there by the Cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps

Running before time took our dreams away

Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground

To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener

The light was brighter

With friends surrounded

The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us

To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side

Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again

Dragged by the force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled

We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition

There's a hunger still unsatisfied

Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon

Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener

The light was brighter

The taste was sweeter

The nights of wonder

With friends surrounded

The dawn mist glowing

The water flowing

The endless river

Forever and ever

"(Spoken)

"Hello?"

"Yes?"

"Is that Charlie?"

"Yes"

"Hello Charlie"

"Great""

Welcome, my son

Welcome to the machine

Where have you been?

It's all right, we know where you've been

You've been in the pipeline, filling in time

Provided with toys and "Scouting for Boys"

You bought a guitar to punish your ma

You didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool

So welcome to the machine

Welcome, my son

Welcome to the machine

What did you dream?

It's all right, we told you what to dream

You dreamed of a big star

He played a mean guitar

He always ate in the steak bar

He loved to drive in his Jaguar

So welcome to the machine

Empty spaces - what are we living for?

Abandoned places - I guess we know the score

On and on

Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero, another mindless crime

Behind the curtain, in the pantomime

Hold the line

Does anybody want to take it anymore?

Show must go on

Show must go on

Inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking

But my smile still stays on

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance

Another heartache, another failed romance

On and on

Does anybody know what we are living for?

I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now

I'll soon be turning round the corner now

Outside the dawn is breaking

But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

Show must go on

Show must go on - yeah

Ooh inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking

But my smile still stays on

Yeah, oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies

Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die

I can fly, my friends

Show must go on - yeah

Show must go on

I'll face it with a grin

I'm never giving in

On with the show

I'll top the bill

I'll overkill

I have to find the will to carry on

On with the

On with the show

Show must go on, go on, go on, go on...

In these moments of loss and torment

When the vast skies don't seem to call to you

When the weight of this world bears down

And the stars have fallen like tears

I am with you always

From the darkness of night till the morning

I am with you always

From life until death takes me

Monuments built in remembrance of me

But monuments fade and fall in decay

The memories are all that remains

As far as east is from the west, remember

I am with you always

From the darkness of night until the morning

I am with you always

From life until death takes me

When hope seems lost, down and lonely

I am here with you always

I am with you always

From the darkness of night

I am with you always

From the darkness of night until the morning

I am with you always

From life until death takes me.

x2

There's a look on your face I would like to knock out

See the sin in your grin and the shape of your mouth

All I want is to see you in terrible pain

Though we won't ever meet I remember your name

Can't believe you were once just like anyone else

Then you grew and became like the devil himself

Pray to God I think of a nice thing to say

But I don't think I can so fuck you anyway

You are scum, you are scum and I hope that you know

That the cracks in your smile are beginning to show

Now the world needs to see that it's time you should go

There's no light in your eyes and your brain is too slow

Can't believe you were once just like anyone else

Then you grew and became like the devil himself

Pray to God I can think of a nice thing to say

But I don't think I can, so fuck you anyway

Bet you sleep like a child with your thumb in your mouth

I could creep up beside put a gun in your mouth

Makes me sick when I hear all the shit that you say

So much crap coming out, it must take you all day

There's a space kept in hell with your name on the seat

With a spike in the chair just to make it complete

When you look at yourself do you see what I see

If you do why the fuck are you looking at me?

Why the fuck are you looking at me?

Why the fuck are you looking at me?

Why the fuck, why the fuck are you looking at me?

Why the fuck, why the fuck are you looking at me?

There's a time for us all and I think yours has been

Can you please hurry up 'cause I find you obscene

We can't wait for the day that you're never around

When that face isn't here and you rot underground

Can't believe you were once just like anyone else

Then you grew and became like the devil himself

Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to say

But I don't think I can so fuck you anyway

So fuck you anyway

So fuck you anyway

So fuck you anyway

🐸The Frog

✍️by Christina Rossetti

Contemptuous of his home beyond

The village and the village pond,

A large-souled Frog who spurned each byeway,

Hopped along the imperial highway.

Nor grunting pig nor barking dog

Could disconcert so great a frog.

The morning dew was lingering yet

His sides to cool, his tongue to wet;

The night dew when the night should come

A travelled frog would send him home.

Not so, alas! the wayside grass

Sees him no more: - not so, alas!

A broadwheeled waggon unawares

Ran him down, his joys, his cares.

From dying choke one feeble croak

The Frog's perpetual silence broke:

"Ye buoyant Frogs, ye great and small,

Even I am mortal after all.

My road to Fame turns out a wry way:

I perish on this hideous highway,-

Oh for my old familiar byeway!"

The choking Frog sobbed and was gone:

The waggoner strode whistling on.

Unconscious of the carnage done,

Whistling that waggoner strode on,

Whistling (it may have happened so)

"A Froggy would a-wooing go:"

A hypothetic frog trolled he

Obtuse to a reality.

O rich and poor, O great and small,

Such oversights beset us all:

The mangled frog abides incog,

The uninteresting actual frog;

The hypothetic frog alone

Is the one frog we dwell upon.

"My Least Favorite Life" by Lera Lynn

==============================

This is my least favorite life

The one where you fly and I don''t

The kiss holds a million deceits

And a lifetime goes up in smoke

This is my least favorite you

Who floats far above earth and stone

The nights that I twist on the rack

Is the time that I feel most at home

We wandering in the shade

And the rustle of fallen leaves

A bird on the edge of a blade

Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory

The station rolls away from the train

The blue pulls away from the sky

The whisper of two broken wings

May be they''re yours, maybe they''re mine

This is my least favorite life

The one where I am out of my mind

The one where you are just out of reach

The one where I stand and you fly

I am wandering in the shade

And the rustle of fallen leaves

A bird on the edge of the blade

Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory

"It Only Takes One Shot" by Lera Lynn

==============================

My bed is now a cylinder of steel

Cold and hard and shiny

To match the way I feel

The dust in here is like a burning wind

Black as coal and thunder

Dark as all my sins

I took it for a long, long time

And a woman can take a lot

Two can be undone by three

But it only takes one shot

You were there

To see me beg and kneel

What kind of man would ask me then

If he could make a deal?

When lovers of the future read these lines

A sound of steel and thunder

Will echo in their minds

I took it for a long, long time

And a woman can take a lot

Two can be undone by three

But it only takes one shot

I took it for a long, long time

And a woman can take a lot

Two can be undone by three

But it only takes one shot

Ashes become speed

And turn to blood

It''s strange to see

How sharp and clean

The things that come from love

"Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman

==============================

You''ve got a fast car

I wanna ticket to anywhere

Maybe we can make a deal

Maybe together we can get somewhere

Any place is better

Starting from zero, got nothing to lose

Maybe we''ll make something

Me, myself, I''ve got nothing to prove

You''ve got a fast car

I''ve got a plan to get us out of here

Been working at the convenience store

Managed to save just a little bit of money

Won''t have to drive too far

Just cross the border and into the city

You and I can both get jobs

And finally see what it means to be living

See my old man''s got a problem

Live with the bottle, that''s the way it is

He says his body''s too old for working

His body''s too young, to look like his

When mama went off and left him

She wanted more from life than he could give

I said somebody''s got to take care of him

So I quit school and that''s what I did

You''ve got a fast car

Is it fast enough so we can fly away?

We gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way

Say remember when we were driving, driving in your car

Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped ''round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged

I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You''ve got a fast car

We go cruising entertain ourselves

You still ain''t got a job

Now I work in the market as a checkout girl

I know things will get better

You''ll find work and I''ll get promoted

We''ll move out of the shelter

Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

Say remember when we were driving, driving in your car

Speeds so fast it felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped ''round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged

I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You''ve got a fast car

I''ve got a job that pays all our bills

You stay out drinking late at the bar

See more of your friends than you do of your kids

I''d always hoped for better

Thought maybe together you and me''d find it

I got no plans and I ain''t going nowhere

So take your fast car and keep on driving

Say remember when we were driving, driving in your car

Speeds so fast it felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped ''round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged

I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You''ve got a fast car

Is it fast enough so you can fly away?

You gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way==============================

Slip away, your vanity is gone, I'm falling out of place

We all fall down, the pain goes on

We bear through the war and turn the lost away

We all fall down, the pain goes on

And I'll be the fire that dries the flood

As I fight for one last breath

I keep holding on, no love to believe in

As I drag the devil down

I will stand alone, no longer defeated

Stripped away, we rise above it all, forgotten and betrayed

We all fall down, the pain goes on

No better than before, still broken and afraid

We all fall down, the pain goes on

And I'll be the cloud that hides the sun

As I fight for one last breath

I keep holding on, no love to believe in

As I drag the devil down

I will stand alone, no longer defeated

I'm falling to pieces, maimed and used

I know what I need and it's not you

It's not you

As I fight for one last breath

I keep holding on, no love to believe in

As I drag the devil down

I will stand alone, no longer defeated

No longer defeated

No longer defeated

Well, I've got one foot on the platform

The other foot on the train

I'm going back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many young poor boy

And God, I know I'm one

We all came out to Montreux

On the Lake Geneva shoreline

To make records with a mobile

We didn't have much time

A-Frank Zappa and the Mothers

Were at the best place around

But some stupid with a flare gun

Burned the place to the ground

Smoke on the water

A fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

They burned down the gambling house

It died with an awful sound

A-Funky Claude was running in and out

Pulling kids out the ground

When it all was over

We had to find another place

But Swiss time was running out

It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water

A fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

We ended up at the Grand Hotel

It was empty, cold and bare

But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside, heh

Making our music there

With a few red lights, heh, a few old beds, heh

We made a place to sweat

No matter what we get out of this, heh

I know, I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water

A fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young

In a world of magnets and miracles

Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary

The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the long road and on down the causeway

Do they still meet there by the Cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps

Running before time took our dreams away

Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground

To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener

The light was brighter

With friends surrounded

The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us

To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side

Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again

Dragged by the force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled

We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition

There's a hunger still unsatisfied

Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon

Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener

The light was brighter

The taste was sweeter

The nights of wonder

With friends surrounded

The dawn mist glowing

The water flowing

The endless river

Forever and ever

"(Spoken)

"Hello?"

"Yes?"

"Is that Charlie?"

"Yes"

"Hello Charlie"

"Great""

Welcome, my son

Welcome to the machine

Where have you been?

It's all right, we know where you've been

You've been in the pipeline, filling in time

Provided with toys and "Scouting for Boys"

You bought a guitar to punish your ma

You didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool

So welcome to the machine

Welcome, my son

Welcome to the machine

What did you dream?

It's all right, we told you what to dream

You dreamed of a big star

He played a mean guitar

He always ate in the steak bar

He loved to drive in his Jaguar

So welcome to the machine

Ойбек Болик, [24.11.20 14:24]

Empty spaces - what are we living for?

Abandoned places - I guess we know the score

On and on

Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero, another mindless crime

Behind the curtain, in the pantomime

Hold the line

Does anybody want to take it anymore?

Show must go on

Show must go on

Inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking

But my smile still stays on

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance

Another heartache, another failed romance

On and on

Does anybody know what we are living for?

I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now

I'll soon be turning round the corner now

Outside the dawn is breaking

But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

Show must go on

Show must go on - yeah

Ooh inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking

But my smile still stays on

Yeah, oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies

Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die

I can fly, my friends

Show must go on - yeah

Show must go on

I'll face it with a grin

I'm never giving in

On with the show

I'll top the bill

I'll overkill

I have to find the will to carry on

On with the

On with the show

Show must go on, go on, go on, go on...

In these moments of loss and torment

When the vast skies don't seem to call to you

When the weight of this world bears down

And the stars have fallen like tears

I am with you always

From the darkness of night till the morning

I am with you always

From life until death takes me

Monuments built in remembrance of me

But monuments fade and fall in decay

The memories are all that remains

As far as east is from the west, remember

I am with you always

From the darkness of night until the morning

I am with you always

From life until death takes me

When hope seems lost, down and lonely

I am here with you always

I am with you always

From the darkness of night

I am with you always

From the darkness of night until the morning

I am with you always

From life until death takes me.

There's a look on your face I would like to knock out

See the sin in your grin and the shape of your mouth

All I want is to see you in terrible pain

Though we won't ever meet I remember your name

Can't believe you were once just like anyone else

Then you grew and became like the devil himself

Pray to God I think of a nice thing to say

But I don't think I can so fuck you anyway

You are scum, you are scum and I hope that you know

That the cracks in your smile are beginning to show

Now the world needs to see that it's time you should go

There's no light in your eyes and your brain is too slow

Can't believe you were once just like anyone else

Then you grew and became like the devil himself

Pray to God I can think of a nice thing to say

But I don't think I can, so fuck you anyway

Bet you sleep like a child with your thumb in your mouth

I could creep up beside put a gun in your mouth

Makes me sick when I hear all the shit that you say

So much crap coming out, it must take you all day

There's a space kept in hell with your name on the seat

With a spike in the chair just to make it complete

When you look at yourself do you see what I see

If you do why the fuck are you looking at me?

Why the fuck are you looking at me?

Why the fuck are you looking at me?

Why the fuck, why the fuck are you looking at me?

Why the fuck, why the fuck are you looking at me?

There's a time for us all and I think yours has been

Can you please hurry up 'cause I find you obscene

We can't wait for the day that you're never around

When that face isn't here and you rot underground

Can't believe you were once just like anyone else

Then you grew and became like the devil himself

Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to say

But I don't think I can so fuck you anyway

So fuck you anyway

So fuck you anyway

So fuck you anyway

🐸The Frog

✍️by Christina Rossetti

Contemptuous of his home beyond

The village and the village pond,

A large-souled Frog who spurned each byeway,

Hopped along the imperial highway.

Nor grunting pig nor barking dog

Could disconcert so great a frog.

The morning dew was lingering yet

His sides to cool, his tongue to wet;

The night dew when the night should come

A travelled frog would send him home.

Not so, alas! the wayside grass

Sees him no more: - not so, alas!

A broadwheeled waggon unawares

Ran him down, his joys, his cares.

From dying choke one feeble croak

The Frog's perpetual silence broke:

"Ye buoyant Frogs, ye great and small,

Even I am mortal after all.

My road to Fame turns out a wry way:

I perish on this hideous highway,-

Oh for my old familiar byeway!"

The choking Frog sobbed and was gone:

The waggoner strode whistling on.

Unconscious of the carnage done,

Whistling that waggoner strode on,

Whistling (it may have happened so)

"A Froggy would a-wooing go:"

A hypothetic frog trolled he

Obtuse to a reality.

O rich and poor, O great and small,

Such oversights beset us all:

The mangled frog abides incog,

The uninteresting actual frog;

The hypothetic frog alone

Is the one frog we dwell upon.

"My Least Favorite Life" by Lera Lynn

==============================

This is my least favorite life

The one where you fly and I don''t

The kiss holds a million deceits

And a lifetime goes up in smoke

This is my least favorite you

Who floats far above earth and stone

The nights that I twist on the rack

Is the time that I feel most at home

We wandering in the shade

And the rustle of fallen leaves

A bird on the edge of a blade

Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory

The station rolls away from the train

The blue pulls away from the sky

The whisper of two broken wings

May be they''re yours, maybe they''re mine

This is my least favorite life

The one where I am out of my mind

The one where you are just out of reach

The one where I stand and you fly

I am wandering in the shade

And the rustle of fallen leaves

A bird on the edge of the blade

Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory

"It Only Takes One Shot" by Lera Lynn

==============================

My bed is now a cylinder of steel

Cold and hard and shiny

To match the way I feel

The dust in here is like a burning wind

Black as coal and thunder

Dark as all my sins

I took it for a long, long time

And a woman can take a lot

Two can be undone by three

But it only takes one shot

You were there

To see me beg and kneel

What kind of man would ask me then

If he could make a deal?

When lovers of the future read these lines

A sound of steel and thunder

Will echo in their minds

I took it for a long, long time

And a woman can take a lot

Two can be undone by three

But it only takes one shot

I took it for a long, long time

And a woman can take a lot

Two can be undone by three

But it only takes one shot

Ashes become speed

And turn to blood

It''s strange to see

How sharp and clean

The things that come from love

"Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman

==============================

You''ve got a fast car

I wanna ticket to anywhere

Maybe we can make a deal

Maybe together we can get somewhere

Any place is better

Starting from zero, got nothing to lose

Maybe we''ll make something

Me, myself, I''ve got nothing to prove

You''ve got a fast car

I''ve got a plan to get us out of here

Been working at the convenience store

Managed to save just a little bit of money

Won''t have to drive too far

Just cross the border and into the city

You and I can both get jobs

And finally see what it means to be living

See my old man''s got a problem

Live with the bottle, that''s the way it is

He says his body''s too old for working

His body''s too young, to look like his

When mama went off and left him

She wanted more from life than he could give

I said somebody''s got to take care of him

So I quit school and that''s what I did

You''ve got a fast car

Is it fast enough so we can fly away?

We gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way

Say remember when we were driving, driving in your car

Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped ''round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged

I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You''ve got a fast car

We go cruising entertain ourselves

You still ain''t got a job

Now I work in the market as a checkout girl

I know things will get better

You''ll find work and I''ll get promoted

We''ll move out of the shelter

Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

Say remember when we were driving, driving in your car

Speeds so fast it felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped ''round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged

I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You''ve got a fast car

I''ve got a job that pays all our bills

You stay out drinking late at the bar

See more of your friends than you do of your kids

I''d always hoped for better

Thought maybe together you and me''d find it

I got no plans and I ain''t going nowhere

So take your fast car and keep on driving

Say remember when we were driving, driving in your car

Speeds so fast it felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us

And your arm felt nice wrapped ''round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged

I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You''ve got a fast car

Is it fast enough so you can fly away?

You gotta make a decision

Leave tonight or live and die this way
