Rise Against - Swing life away
♥
Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
I’ll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let’s compare scars, I’ll tell you whose is worse
Let’s unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I’ll slave till the end,
I won’t cross these streets until you hold my hand
I’ve been here so long, I think that it’s time to move
The winter’s so cold, summer’s over too soon
Let’s pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
I’ve got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we’ve had some times, I wouldn’t trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go
We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I’ll slave till the end,
I won’t cross these streets until you hold my hand….until you hold my hand
I’ll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let’s compare scars, I’ll tell you whose is worse
Let’s unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I’ll slave till the end,
I won’t cross these streets until you hold my han
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…

City and Colour - Sleeping Sickness
I awoke only to find my lungs empty,
and through the night so it seems i’m done breathing,
and now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be,
and i’m breaking down,
I think i’m breaking down.
And i’m afraid to sleep because of what haunts me,
such as living with the uncertainty,
that i’ll never find the words to say which would completely explain,
just how i’m breaking down.
Someone come and,
someone come and save my life.
Maybe i’ll sleep when I am dead,
but now it’s like the night is taking sides.
And all the worries that occupy the back of my mind,
could it be this misery will suffice?
I’ve become the simple souvenir of someone’s kill,
and like the sea i’m constantly changing from calm to ill,
madness fills my heart and soul,
as if the great divide could swallow me whole,
oh how i’m breaking down.
Someone come and,
someone come and save my life.
Maybe i’ll sleep when I am dead,
but now it’s like the night is taking sides.
And all the worries that occupy the back of my mind,
could it be this misery will suffice?
Oh we’re alive.
Someone come and,
someone come and save my life.
Someone come and,
someone come and save my life.
Someone come and,
someone come and save my life.
Could it be this misery will suffice?
