The Next Time We Wed | The Fratellis 

Tell me this for nothing
Make me dignified
Kiss me as you're leaving
Just so you can say you tried
Make me sentimental
Beat me black and blue
Hit me up, it's just so simple
Darling I'm too good for you
.
(Next time we wed)
I'll be on my best behavior
I'll be everybody's savior
I'll be handsome in the daylight
Oh, honey I will lose my stage fright!

I won't specialize in failure
I'll be everybody's savior
Honey, I'll be a saint
I'll be wrong when you're right
Keep my mouth shut and lips tight
Beg from my toes to my head!
The next time we wed

“Dead Man Walking” | Grant, ellis

Pulling me back into my body
I wanna take my time with you
Your lips are gonna haunt me
If what you say is true
Pulling me back into my body
I'm just a dead man walking
I'm just a pawn
But nothing hurts better than you

Are we doomed to the fate laid out before us?
Can you lift a curse with a singlе kiss?
Standing on the edge of thе, ever growing abyss
Does it really have to end like this?

“Stop Me When You've Had Enough” | Nural

So keep it coming, I'm just warming up
Have you had enough?
I should know by now - I'm bound to lose
If you ever wanna clean the slate
Make a change of pace
You should try to walk a mile in my shoes
.
Like an addict in need of a fix
Sparing no expense
Just to keep this routine that we've learned
Up the dosages from day to day
'Til I'm no longer fazed
And can give you just what you deserve

“Good Intentions” | Coyote Kid

You move your mouth just like a weapon
You shoot your tongue just like a gun
You're only firing loaded questions
So you can hear yourself talk
You've only got thosе good intentions
But you'll never walk that walk
Your worst words arе your only weapon
Come on and take your shot

What's it feel like to be the king
Of the castle built like a mortuary?
Filled to the brim with the victims
Of your so-called morality
You got a lot to say about a whole lot of nothing
Walk this way and you got it coming
Up from underneath your feet

“Loaded Gun” | Roby Fayer, Tom Gefen 

Oh I know
You won't be afraid
I'll hold you close
Keep you warm and safe

But if this is war
I'll make them run
If you'll get hurt
I'll say my goodbye with a loaded gun

“Free Animal” | Foreign Air

My heart beats in patterns with a broken sound
You're the only one that can calm me down
My head spins in circles so I'm dizzy now
All of this time I should've figured it out
.
Get what you came for, what you stayed for
I only know how to satisfy your cravings
This is what you crave
Know what you're made of, what you're made of
Flesh and bones won't lie
They won't lie

“The Moon/Awake" | The Dear Hunter 

How'd we lose our place?
Who decided our fate?
Decay until we we're erased
Idly wasting away
Well, the nightmare's ending soon
(Where are you?)

I'd bare you my heart, if I knew that it was still there
I'm too nervous to look, too afraid to close the book
So take all the wind from my lungs, if you're out of air
Just deliver me truth, deliver me you
.
When sins of sons to fathers come
Too heavy is the weight
The spirit split in two

Dear apparition, in this fleeting flash
Must I burn the earth, before you turn to ash?
Would such extremes repair our broken past?
The silver lining seldom lies in sight too plain to see
But trust our story's end can bring redemption for the pain endured

“Wolf Like Me” | TV On The Radio

Say, say, my playmate
Won't you lay hands on me?
Mirror my malady?
Transfer my tragedy?
Got a curse I cannot lift
.
Dream me, oh, dreamer, down to the floor
Open my hands and let them weave onto yours
Feel me, completer, down to my core
Open my heart and let it bleed onto yours

“Tear It All Down” | Ed Prosek

I won't come this way again
You have my word, I won't go turn you in
I'm just looking for a place to rest
Tired bones that hold my hollow chest
.
I won't lie, I'm scared to death
I thank my lucky stars for every breath
If we find our piece of Earth
We'll go start again and make it work
.
Tear it all down, darling
We're burning again
'Till they put us down
And we raise our hands
Tear it all down, darling
They're closing in
We can hold each other 'til the bitter end
We can hold each other 'til the bitter end

“Whisper Something” | Aaron Sprinkle

I'm the one who can't believe in nothing
Unless it's right in front of me
You jumped the gun and you underestimated
Who you were supposed to be

You were the one
You got underneath my skin
And then you broke into my heart
You broke into my heart
I tried to run but I don't
Understand the things you do

Close your soft eyes
While I whisper something
Hold on so tight
Let me find the words
Don't let go now
While I whisper something
We'll make it somehow
Let me find the words

“Saved” | The Dear Hunter

Amongst the stone and smoke
We never laid before
Images floating all about
Life in the afterglow

My decaying mind pretends
None of this ever happened
We either learn to live a lie
Or we're waiting here to die

And after all this suffering
I could lie here for good
But with a mind on fire
I try and stand my ground
Illuminate, and I will follow you

“Your Casualty” | House of Heroes 

Your touch is a firestorm
A terrible wonder
Your gaze is a riptide
It's pulling me under

You call the spirit inside me
Like lightning calls thunder
I don't want you to save me
Don't wake me
I'm your casualty

“Weight Of It All” | Handsome Ghost

Tell me, who's gonna fall?
I've been underneath
The weight of it all
Nights get heavy stumble badly down
To the street
Where we're headed all this pavement pounds
But you're asleep

I'm down in the place where you left me
I know everyone in this town
You call and you talk to me calmly
You're out with the sound of a crowd

“Wander. Wonder.” | The Arcadian Wild

I built this hall of mirrors all myself
Faces staring back at me look like somebody else
Searching every room, I am not free
To my dismay, I have forgotten how to leave
And everywhere I turn's another wall
The doors are locked, trust me, I know
'Cause I have tried them all

Perfect, you're my poison
I sip on you to wash down the shame
And though I am hungover in the morning
Face down in the carpet, I feel safe

“White Flower” | Rafferty

Before I met you my heart was a stone black wall
You're a crazy little daisy, beautiful and tall
But are you innocent?
No, soft and deadly you grow
Through the cracks of my heart
As we crumble apart

“I Will Never Die” | Delta Rae

Sycamore, ash, moss, and loam
Wrap your roots all around my bones
And when they come for me, when they call my name
Cast my shadow from a bellows' flame

Cause I loved you for too long
I loved you for too long
I loved you for too long

“I Found” | Amber Run

I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind
And I'll use you as a focal point
So I don't lose sight of what I want
.
And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

“That You Are” | Hozier, Bedouine

It's the sound of it that brings me there
This city locked into a song of prayer
That finds no melody
Every moment of the working day
The twitching muscles in each step I take
The prayer is all of me

That I'd be
Anywhere that you are
That you are

“You Know Where to Find Me” | Imogen Heap

You know where to find me
If you think it's all over
I can sense it a mile off
It's no friendly hello
You could be screaming drunk
Well I've got my bad days too
I'm gonna be here for you
Be still with me
.
Be still
Heart, lung, soul, arteries and all
A shoulder at the ready
Vital organs on call
Be still
Heart, lung, soul, arteries and all
A shoulder at the ready

“Inevitable” | Anberlin

Amazing how life turns out
The way that it does
We end up hurting the worst
The only ones we really love

I wanna break every clock
The hands of time could never move again
We could stay in this moment
For the rest of our lives
Is it over now, hey? Is it over now?

I wanna be your last first kiss
That you'll ever have

“Sick of Losing Soulmates” | dodie

What a strange being you are
God knows where I would be if you hadn't found me
Sitting all alone in the dark
.
'Cause I'm sick of losing soulmates
So where do we begin?
I can finally see you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?
Yeah, I'm sick of losing soulmates
Won't be alone again
I can finally see you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?
