"Home" - Depeche Mode



Here is a song from the wrong side of town
Where I'm bound to the ground by the loneliest sound
And it pounds from within and is pinning me down
Here is a page from the emptiest stage
A cage or the heaviest cross ever made
A gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found that I belong here
The heat and the sickliest sweet smelling sheets
That cling to the backs of my knees and my feet
Well I'm drowning in time to a desperate beat
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found that I belong
Feels like home
I should have known
From my first breath
God send the only true friend I call mine
Pretend that I'll make amends the next time
Befriend the glorious end of the line
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found that I belong here

If her conquests survived... (Which they don't.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5up5B9n7ICA

Hey! In her heart there's a hole
There's a black mark on her soul
In her hands is my heart
And she won't let go 'till it's scarred
Ha! Tried to breathe but I can't
'Cause the air she feeds me is damned
Got a touch like a thorn
'Cause the girl she's hiding horns

She got blood cold as ice
And a heart made of stone
But she keeps me alive
She's the beast in my bones
She gets everything she wants
When she gets me alone
Like it's nothin'
She got two little horns
And they get me a little bit

She's the fire in the sin
And I burn breathin' her in
Now it's love suicide
And I sell my soul for the high
Truth be told I don't mind
'Cause her hand's my paradise
She can crush every hope
Got her heels stompin' down my throat

She got blood cold as ice
And a heart made of stone
But she keeps me alive
She's the beast in my bones
She gets everything she wants
When she gets me alone
Like it's nothin'
She got two little horns
And they get me a little bit

She got horns like a devil
Pointed at me and there's nowhere to run
From the fire she breathes
She got horns like a devil
Pointed at me and there's nowhere to run
From the fire she breathes
She got horns like a devil
Pointed at me and there's nowhere to run
From the fire she breathes

She got two little horns
And they get me a little bit

"Set Fire," by Carina Round

Sensitive one
Are you cool or are you just abused
I have seen the ways that you keep yourself amused
I have seen the life of the one that's left behind
Heard the soft tears of a hack snake on the rise

And the words came down
In tatters and flames
Yeah the words came down
In tatters and flames
And it's the closest I've felt
To a song destroying me

I cant see a single face or a word they sell
Everybody here is too far up everyone else
When you find the truth cut it out with a razor blade
When you distribute choose your voice like a hand grenade

And the words came down
In daggers and flames
Yeah your words came down
In daggers and flames
And it's the closest I've felt
To a song destroying me
It's the closest I've felt

What they say when
What they say when
There is nothing left to burn
Yeah there's no one else
Oh set fire, oh set fire
Oh set fire, set fire to yourself

Oh what they say when
Oh what they say when
There is nothing left to burn
Yeah there's no one else
Oh set fire, oh set fire
Oh set fire to yourself
Watch your aim

"Stay Low"
Ryn Weaver


Let the night come
Dim the lights home
Whisky lemon
Let the time go
Way slow
Let the records play low
Like the sun goes way low
Lay me down
Now lay low, oh
Stay low
Stay low
Stay low
Stay low
Stay low
Slow day but I pass the time
Coffee and a half a pack
Said I’m thinking about you and I
Took a while but you hittin’ me back
And you know
I get so sick of the telephone
I cry and you cry
And then I thank you
Tell me if your day was rough
And then you let me make it right
King size, passenger size
Let’s ride
Stay low
Stay low
Stay low
Stay low
Let the night come
Dim the lights home
Whisky lemon
Let the time go
Way slow
Let the records play low
Like the sun goes way low
Lay me down, now
Lay low
Stay low
Stay low
Stay low
Stay low
Stay low
Slow day but I pass the time
Coffee and a half a pack
Said I’m thinking about you and I
Took a while but you hittin’ me back
And you know
And you know
And you know
Stay low

The cards, they said we would be lovers
Running through the night
And we'd never find our home, dear
No matter how we try

But we wouldn't let it stop us
When we wanted to touch
No, we wouldn't let it stop us
'Cause we want it

Get it all, you're alive
Get it all, you're alive
You and I, we walk a dangerous line
Get it all, you're alive
You and I will always feel right
Get it all, you're alive

Get it all tonight
The way that I feel, la-la-la-la
You know you can't deny
The way that I feel, la-la-la-la

Oh, tonight
The way that I feel, la-la-la-la
Oh, you can't deny
The way that I feel, la-la-la-la

The cards, they said we would be hunters
Running through the dark
And the animals are vengeful
And they tear us apart.

But we wouldn't let it stop us
When we wanted to live
No, we wouldn't let it stop us
'Cause we want it

Get it all, you're alive
Get it all, you're alive
You and I, we walk a dangerous line
Get it all, you're alive
You and I will always feel right
Get it all, you're alive

Get it all tonight
The way that I feel, la-la-la-la
Oh, tonight
The way that I feel, la-la-la-la

If you told me to behave
I'd undress you with a smile
Lay you down under a velvet sky
And kiss your lips, depraved
If you told me not to play
I would play with someone else
But you know I wouldn't stay too long
'Cause nothing else compares to you

Are you tempted by the flame?
Are you aching from the pain?
Is it all so wrong?
Won't you take a little taste?
Lick the honey from your face
It'll be so sweet

Hush now, just show me what you want it to be
Sweet talk unlocked by your own fantasy
Bloodlust, your touch has got me down on my knees
Red light so bright

If you told me to behave
I would do it in disguise
Show you things you never thought you dreamed
And open up your eyes
If you told me not to play
I would creep into your mind
Through the windows of your darkest places
Climb into the night with you

Are you tempted by the flame?
Are you aching from the pain?
Is it all so wrong?
Won't you take a little taste?
Lick the honey from your face
It'll be so sweet

Hush now, just show me what you want it to be
Sweet talk unlocked by your own fantasy
Bloodlust, your touch has got me down on my knees
Red light so bright
If you told me to behave
If you told me to behave

Hush now, just show me what you want it to be
Sweet talk unlocked by your own fantasy
Bloodlust, your touch has got me down on my knees
Red light so bright

If you told me to behave

"Pink + White"
Frank Ocean


Yeah, yeah oh
Yeah, yeah yeah
That's the way everyday goes
Every time we have no control
If the sky is pink and white
If the ground is black and yellow
It's the same way you showed me
Nod my head, don't close my eyes
Half way on a slow move
It's the same way you showed me
If you could fly then you'd feel south
Up north's getting cold soon
The way it is, we're on land
So I'm someone to hold true
Keep you cool in this good life
Won't let you down when it's all ruined
Just the same way you showed me, showed me
You showed me love
Glory from above
Good Glory, dear
It's all downhill from here
In the wake of a hurricane
Dark skin of a summer shade
Nose dive in the flood lines
Tall tower, milk crate
It's the same way you showed me
Cannon ball off the porch side
Older kids trying off the roof
Just the same way you showed me (you showed)
If you could die and come back to life
Up for air from the swimming pool
You kneel down to the dry land
Kiss the Earth that birthed you
Gave you tools just to stay alive
And make it up when the sun is ruined
That's the same way you showed me, showed me
You showed me love
Glory from above
Where God could fear
It's all downhill from here
What a life
Remember how it was
Climb trees, Michael Jackson, all in this year
Say what up to Magic, just shoot
Say what up to Penny
Say what up to life one more time
And I know what you might want to know
Run from me and your team
Still ain't grabbin six (take it easy)
Give me somethin sweet
Bitch I might bite, ain't no tellin
This is life, life immortality

The Emotion
-Borns.

Shadows fill my mind up
Zeroes tell me my time's up
I lost count so long ago; maybe my heart's numb
Don't hold my hands accountable; they're young and they're dumb
Drive through the timezones
Escape out of my mind zone, love
I lost you not long ago; heaven knows I'm miserable
Hell takes all the credit, though, til the day is done
The emotion is suddenly out of me
The emotion is building up inside of me
And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach
The emotion, the emotion
Islands under eyelids
Spilling in through the silence
You were all that, all that, all that I needed
And we're falling, falling to the deep and now
The emotion is suddenly out of me
The emotion is building up inside of me
And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach
The emotion, the emotion
Rolling through the dark
Carved into the light of day
Both eyes are open now, I'm running
I won't turn around for you
The emotion is suddenly out of me
The emotion is building up inside of me
And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach
The emotion, the emotion

Witchcraft
Frank Sinatra

Those fingers in my hair
That sly come-hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft
And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do?
'Cause it's witchcraft
Wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what you're leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
'Cause it's witchcraft
That crazy witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what you're leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one that I'd never switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you

Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule
Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He has no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish
A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
A new kind of jumped up slippery fish
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swingin' on a star

The berth surrounding my body crushing every bit of bone
The salt, it seeps in through the pores of my open skin
I wait on you inside the bottom of the deep blue sea
I wait on you inside the bottom of the deep blue

Welcome to my cage, little lover
Attempt to rearrange with you, baby
Still don’t know your name, Miss Honey
Let’s go up in flames, pretty lady

The sweet surrender of silence forces me to live alone
Locked and loaded, where the hell is peace of mind?
I wait on you inside the bottom of the deep blue sea
I wait on you inside the bottom of the deep blue

Welcome to my cage, little lover
Attempt to rearrange with you, baby
Still don’t know your name, Miss Honey
Let’s go up in flames, pretty lady

Welcome to my cage, little lover
Attempt to rearrange with you, baby
Still don’t know your name, Miss Honey
Let’s go up in flames, pretty lady

The bottom of the deep blue see
The bottom of the deep blue sea

Welcome to my cage, little lover
Attempt to rearrange with you, baby
Still don’t know your name, Miss Honey
Let’s go up in flames, pretty lady

Welcome to my cage, little lover
Attempt to rearrange with you, baby
Still don’t know your name, Miss Honey

You take a drug, I take a sip
I want your legendary kiss
You know I got designer taste
And your design's too good to waste
When the beast comes out at night
Yeah, it always wants a bite
And I try, try to the resist
But then the devil always wins, yeah


Time, time, time
Time to close your eyes (close your eyes)
Time, time, time
Time to say goodnight (say goodnight)


I feel it coming on
You've got nowhere to run
There's no way you'll make it out alive
Oh, when it's after dark
I'm gonna eat your heart
Don't try to fight it, just close your eyes
Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes


Go on and say, say your last words
Sometimes the best things kinda hurt
'Cause this is real, it's unrehearsed
My fatal touch, you'll feel cursed, yeah

Time to close your eyes (close your eyes)
Time, time, time
Time to say goodnight (say goodnight)

Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes (close your eyes)

BORNS - Fool

I go walking each night
Get a physical reaction
When you're on the path and my mind
Metaphysical attraction
Call it a curse from the full moon
Flowing in my bloodstream
I can feel it like a monsoon
Hovering above me

Oh, but I don't mind it
I can't escape the air
The wind always brings me the scent of her hair

All kinds of crazy you're making me
I can't keep my mind off you
Got me losing my cool
Got me acting like a fool
Fool, fool
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Fool, fool
Like a fool

I go walking seaside, hear the music of the ocean
Swimming through the wreckage of my mind in the deepest of emotions

Oh, but I don't mind it
Watching you in the sand
The thought of you slipping through the cracks of my hands

All kinds of crazy you're making me
I can't keep my mind off you
Got me losing my cool
Got me acting like a fool
Fool, fool
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Fool, fool
Like a fool

All kinds of crazy you're making me
I can't keep my mind off you
Got me losing my cool
Got me acting like a fool
Fool, fool
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fool, fool
Like a fool
Fool, fool

"And All That Could Have Been" - nine inch nails


Breeze still carries the sound
Maybe I'll disappear
Tracks will fade in the snow
You won't find me here

Ice is starting to form
Ending what had begun
I am locked in my head
With what I've done
I know you tried to rescue me
Didn't let anyone get in
Left with a trace of all that was
And all that could have been

Please
Take this
And run far away
Far away from me
I am
Tainted
The two of us
Were never meant to be
All these
Pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my
Nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me
Gone fading everything
And all that could have been

Gone.. fading..
Everything..
And..
All that..
Ccould have been..

Please
Take this
And run far away
Far as you can see
I am
Tainted
And happiness and peace of mind
Were never meant for me
All these
Pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my
Nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me

Golden Dandelions - Barns Courtney

She came to me in robes of white
In the corner of my room
A specter of the night
Silhouetted by the moon
We're floating fast over traffic lights
Bearing down on blackened sky
Colors burst as I close my eyes

Ooh-ooh, and she said
Lay me down in golden dandelions
'Cause I've been waiting for this moment all my life
Follow me into the dark
Ooh-ooh
She said lay me down in golden dandelions
'Cause I've been waiting

A thousand pictures in my mind
In a painting of the past
I'm brushing over lines
And I'll paint them all again
We're floating fast over traffic lights
Bearing down on blackened skies
Colors burst as I close my eyes

Ooh-ooh, and she said
Lay me down in golden dandelions
'Cause I've been waiting for this moment all my life
Follow me into the dark
Ooh-ooh
She said lay me down in golden dandelions
'Cause I've been waiting
'Cause I've been waiting

And aren't we bright
In the candlelight
I will cradle all these memories
'til the end

And she said
Lay me down in golden dandelions
'Cause I've been waiting for this moment all my life
Follow me into the dark
Ooh-ooh
She said lay me down in golden dandelions
'Cause I've been waiting
Yeah, I've been waiting
'Cause, I've been waiting

Hunt You Down - Kesha

I wanna be your baby, your angel all in black
Your little blue-eyed gypsy who's always got your back
Yodel-odel-oh, oh oh
Yodel-odel-oh, oh oh oh
I wanna be your favorite and always by your side
I wanna talk forever with babies down the line

I've never hurt nobody, never buried a body
Never killed no one, no, no

You say you've had your fun
And that you're done and I'm the one
Just know that if you fuck around

I got eyes like a hawk, babe, I'm watching all the time
Yodel-odel-oh, oh oh
Yodel-odel-oh, oh oh oh

But I got a warning for you first (all right)

I've never hurt nobody, never buried a body
Never killed no one, no, no
I ain't afraid to get a little crazy
Baby, when I'm in love
You say you've had your fun
But that you're done and I'm the one
Just know, that if you fuck around
Boy, I'll hunt you down

I can't believe it, night after night
Life is so perfect when you walk the line
Baby, I love you so much
Don't make me kill you

I've never hurt nobody, never buried a body
Never killed no one, no, no
I ain't afraid to get a little crazy
Baby, when I'm in love
You say you've had your fun
But that you're done and I'm the one
Just know, that if you fuck around
Remember, I've never hurt nobody, never buried a body
Never killed no one, no, no
I ain't afraid to get a little crazy
Baby, when I'm in love
You say you've had your fun
But that you're done and I'm the one
Just know, that if you fuck around
Boy, I'll hunt you down
Yeah, boy, I'll hunt you down
