Better Than Ezra-Desperately Wanting :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:








Past the road to your house
That you never call home
Where they turned out your lights
Though they say you'll never know

I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting

When they pumped out your guts
Filled you full of those pills
You were never quite right
Deserving all the chills

Say the worst is over
Kicked it over again
Then they ask what went wrong
When they turn you on again
When they turn you on again

I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting

I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting

Kick them right in the face
Make them wish they weren't born
And if they bring up your name
Will they say you won the war

Baby burst in the world
Never given a chance
Then they ask what went wrong
When you never had it right
No, you never had it right

I remember running through the wet grass
And falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately Wanting

I remember running through the wet grass
And falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting

Oh, the letters have dropped off
Though they say you got them all
I finally figured out some things you'll never know

Take back your life, let me inside
We'll find the door, if you care, if you care to anymore

I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting

I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting

Parkway Drive-Sacred :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:






Unbroken heart
Unbroken
I'll make a promise but this is the last one
It's on my honour, so call it a swan song
I am a splinter of the person that you think you know
But if you listen close
I know a place where my dreams are real enough
I see a time when the sun shines bright enough
I feel a path beneath my feet
I feel it all within my reach
I'm gonna get it

This time I feel it
I won't be defeated
I won't feel the fear to stand apart
This time I'll take it
This time is sacred
Reset the wounds they tore apart
Unbroken heart

They'll make you want it
Like this is your big shot
Take my hand 'cause the truth is a mic drop
In every fraction of the fiction that they put on show
Is a cycle in overload
I know a place where your dreams are real enough
I know a place where the sky is close enough
Feel the grass beneath your feet
You know it's all within your reach
So let's go

This time I feel it
I won't be defeated
I won't feel the fear to stand apart
This time I'll take it
This time is sacred
Reset the wounds they tore apart
Unbroken

I'm gonna live my life where eagles dare
Cut loose
Fearless, face to the summit, I feel this
Free from the pain of panic and anxiety
I scream, my will remains
Unbroken

You've gotta live your life
Where eagles dare
Where eagles dare

This time I feel it
I won't be defeated
I won't feel the fear to stand apart
This time I'll take it
This time is sacred
Reset the wounds they tore apart
Unbroken heart
Unbroken heart

All The Worst Things In Life Are Free !!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬

We Came As Romans-Bad Luck :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:








Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na

I think I think too much, yeah, I know
It's all in my head, can't let it go
Been fighting for space with all the same ghosts
Am I spinning out of control?

I'm trying to hide but they're hiding with me
Been holding my breath 'cause they're all listening
I think I think too much but I know
That they know me

I spent all my life wondering why
The bad luck always comes so easy
All this time, I've realized
The worst things in life are free

But maybe all the days that cut so deep
And maybe all the pain that no one sees
They're all my scars, my bad luck to keep
And you can't take that from me

Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na

I swore I said that I would never go here again
Where the void is just a means to an end (in my head)
No way to see the choice I had
But now I understand

I spent all my life wondering why
The bad luck always comes so easy
All this time, I've realized
The worst things in life are free

But maybe all the days that cut so deep
And maybe all the pain that no one sees
They're all my scars, my bad luck to keep
And you can't take that from me

I found peace in the chaos, I know
'Cause pain is a lesson to learn and let go
Pain is a lesson to learn and let go
So I'll make this path my own

I spent all my life wondering why
The bad luck always comes so easy

I spent all my life wondering why
The bad luck always comes so easy
All this time, I've realized
The worst things in life are free

But maybe all the days that cut so deep
And maybe all the pain that no one sees
They're all my scars, my bad luck to keep
And you can't take that from me

(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na)
(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na)
And you can't take that from me (na-na-na)
(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na)
(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na)
No, you can't take that from me (na-na-na)

It's all I have, it's all I know
You can't take that from me

Soul Asylum-Runaway Train :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:
(My life since I turned 10 years old... Keeps spiraling faster)









Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Can you help me remember how to smile?
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on Earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am, just drowning in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

And everything seems cut and dry
Day and night
Earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
A little out of touch, a little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Runaway train never coming back
Runaway train tearing up the track
Runaway train burning in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

Love
Bleed in your own light
Dream of your own life
I miss me
I miss everything I'll never be
And on, and on

I torch my soul to show the world that I am pure
Deep inside my heart
No more lies

A crown of horns
An image formed deformed
The mark I've borne
A mark of scorn to you

Consume my love, devour my hate
Only powers my escape
The moon is out the stars invite
I think I'll leave tonight

Soon I'll find myself alone
To relax and fade away
Do you know what's coming down
Do you know I couldn't stay free?

I shall be free
I shall be free
I shall be free
I shall be free
Free, free
Free of those voices inside me
I shall be free
I shall be free

Dayseeker-Pale Moonlight :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:







Made a deal with the devil
Put me down on my knees
Like a cult or religion
Trade my soul for a dream
There's no cure to my darkness
Only perfect disease
When my depression takes over
You're the one thing I need

Synthetic therapy
(Dance with the devil, slave 'til the end)

If you wanna see how I run right back to killing myself, taking my time
Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight
At the end of every dream, there's a demon saying I didn't need help to ruin my life
Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight

Made a deal with the devil
An apparition that bleeds
What's the price of your body
If it is taken for free?
Yeah, I was starved for attention
But you can take it from me
If there's a hell underneath us
That's where you will find me, yeah

If you wanna see how I run right back to killing myself, taking my time
Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight
At the end of every dream, there's a demon saying I didn't need help to ruin my life
Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight

Dance with the devil, slave 'til the end
Pray for the dead when they find you in a coffin
(When they find you in a coffin)
Dance with the devil, slave 'til the end

If you wanna see how I run right back to killing myself, taking my time
Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight
At the end of every dream, there's a demon saying I didn't need help to ruin my life
Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight

Yeah, I didn't need help to ruin my life
Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight
Dance with the devil, slave 'til the end
Pray for the dead when they find you in a coffin

I'm tired of your open mouth
Crawling inside my skin
Endless pain we never quit
The fight within that pride's begun
Saying it's too late
What a man's got, he'll learn to hate
Forget the time I said I would
Replace that with "I never will"
Beyond the facts held in your face
Ignore the facts beyond your nose
Saying it's too late
What a man's got, he'll learn to hate
Grow up
Not without meaning
No response, no revealing
Ooh
Just grow up
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong

Garbage-Only Happy When It Rains :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:

I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad?
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me

I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are goin' wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
I'm only happy when it rains

I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't accidentally tell you that
I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through
When I complain about me and you
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down (pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me (pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down (pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me (pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down (pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me (pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down (pour your misery down)

You can keep me company
As long as you don't care

I'm only happy when it rains
You wanna hear about my new obsession?
I'm riding high upon a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains (pour some misery down on me)
I'm only happy when it rains (pour some misery down on me)
I'm only happy when it rains (pour some misery down on me)
I'm only happy when it rains (pour some misery down on me)
I'm only happy when it rains (pour some misery down on me)

(Pour some misery down on me)
(Pour some misery down on me)
(Pour some misery down on me)
I'm only happy when it rains (pour some misery down on me)
(Pour some misery down on me)
(Pour some misery down on me)

Bush-Land Of Milk And Honey :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:


.

"The Land Of Milk And Honey"

I wasn't born in a cage
I am free to remain
I feel a darkness I can't resist
On this gasoline sail
I play to win, I still fail
I feel the weight of many hearts

Everyone is to save
I try to sing, I still wail
I stay strong till you pull me under
I stay strong till you pull me under

Feels like
The land of milk and honey
Feels right
We love the taste of money
Feels like
We're somewhere in the middle
Fire does what it wants
Fire does what it wants

I wanna live till I'm born
We need less but I'm torn
I'd like to know where you get your info
This dopamine must be love
Like a hand in a glove
I see stars when I fuck the system
I see stars when I fuck

Feels like
The land of milk and honey
Feels right
We love the taste of money
Feels like
We're somewhere in the middle
Fire does what it wants
Fire does what it wants

I try to get over you
You're in me all the time
I try to get over you
You dominate my mind

Feels like
The land of milk and honey
Feels right
We love the taste of money
Feels like
We're somewhere in the middle
Fire does what it wants
Fire does what it wants

The land of milk and honey
The land, the land
The land of milk and honey
The land of milk and honey

Offspring-Come Out And Play :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:

From Kimmel last night 😉









You gotta keep 'em separated

Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake out their own campus locale
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guy's colors and the other's don't mix
They're gonna bash it up, bash it up, bash it up, bash it up

Hey, man, you talkin' back to me?
Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)
Hey, man, you disrespecting me?
Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)
Hey, they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey, come out and play

By the time you hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One guy's wasted and the other's a waste
It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one's getting smarter, no one's learning the score
Your never-ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own...

Hey, man, you disrespecting me?
Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated
Hey, man, you talkin' back to me?
Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)
Hey, they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey, come out and play

It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one's getting smarter, no one's learning the score
Your never-ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own...

Hey, man, you talking back to me?
Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)
Hey, man, you disrespecting me?
Take him out (you gotta keep 'em separated)
Hey, they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey, come out and play

Dark Divine-Make Me Disappear :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:








Would you quake
At the thought of changing our fate
Just imagine what we could make
Do you pray you'll wake up without the taste
Of all your past mistakes

Are we heading for a brand new nothing
Cause the thought of you still haunts me
I'm so scared that the pain is the price that I pay
When I play your wicked game

If I'm more than my body (more than my body)
And more than my fear (more than my fear)
Then why am I bound to my weakness (oh god)
Make me disappear

Are we heading for a brand new nothing
Cause the thought of you still haunts me
I'm so scared that the pain is the price that I pay
When I play your wicked game

Am I living in vain?
Am I telling a story that I don't believe?
Am I going insane?
Or am living for something that all means nothing?

Blegh

Am I living in vain?
Am I telling a story that I don't believe?
Am I going insane?
Or am living for something that all means nothing?
Am I headed for a brand new nothing?

Are we heading for a brand new nothing
Cause the thought of you still haunts me
I'm so scared that the pain is the price that I pay
When I play

Are we heading for a brand new nothing
Cause the thought of you still haunts me
I'm so scared that the pain is the price that I pay
When I play your wicked game

This probably has been posted before.... Could be by me. 😉😁









Hey-hey-hey
Yeah-ah

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me, as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the Earth to the Sun
Now, the air I tasted and breathe has taken a turn

Mmm, and all I taught her was everything
Mmm-hmm, I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures had all been washed in black
Tattooed everything

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So, why do I sear?

Mmm, and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head
I'm spinning, oh-oh, I'm spinning
How quick the Sun can drop away?

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything

All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am
All I'll be, yeah-yeah
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh

I know someday, you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
But why, why, why can't it be
Oh, can't it be mine?

Ooh
Ah, yeah
Ah, ooh-ooh

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo (oh, oh-yeah)

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo doo doo, doo, doo-doo-doo (ah-ah)

For Pride Month....

Judas Priest-You've Got Another Thing Comin' ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜








Hold life, I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight, I said I'll never get enough
Stand tall, I'm young and kinda proud
I'm on the top as long as the music's loud
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of "do or die"
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go? You're mad
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
That's right, here's where the talkin' ends
Well listen, this night there'll be some action spent
Drive hard, I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks
If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen, I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go? You're mad
You got another thing comin'
You got another thing comin'
You got another thing comin'
In this world we're livin' in, we have our share of sorrow
Answer now is don't give in, aim for a new tomorrow
Oh, so hot, no time to take a rest, yeah
Act tough, ain't room for second best
Real strong, got me some security
Hey, I'm a big smash, I'm goin' for infinity, yeah
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of "do or die"
Out there is a fortune, waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go? You're mad
You've got another thing comin'
You got another thing comin'
You got another thing comin'
You've got another thing
Coming for you
You've got another thing comin' (baby, it's a comin' now, oh)
You've got another thing comin' (oh yeah, it's a comin' down)
You've got another thing comin' (oh, yeah)
You've got another thing comin'
(Let's turn around and see us, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
You've got another thing comin'
(It's comin', it's a comin' to you, can you feel it?)
You've got another thing comin' (can you feel it?)
(It's comin' on, it's comin' on top of your soul)
You've got another thing comin' (baby, baby, alright)
You've got another thing comin', baby, you've got another
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin', oh yeah
You've got another thing comin'

Another song for Pride (Thanks to Charlie for the recommendation) :heart::heart::heart::heart:

Life Of Agony-Scars ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜






I got the razor at my wrist
'Cause I can't resist
I've got this fever burnin' fist
That does as I wish
But when I get downtown
And see what's around
I just know there's got to be
A better place to be found
Oh, God help me The river runs red and I think I'm dyin'
Well I knew there'd come a day
When my mind would say Hey are you afraid
Well all I know is that I been down here tryin'
Well, I'll bleed on through the night
I suppose I'll be dead by the morning light
No don't be surprised if you mind when you find me Oh, God help me
