Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still
W.T. Wrighton, J.E. Carpenter

It's been a year since last we met
We may never meet again
I have struggled to forget
But the struggle was in vain
For her voice lives on the breeze
And her spirit comes at will
In the midnight on the seas, her bright smile haunts me still
In the midnight on the seas, her bright smile haunts me still

I have sailed a falling sky
And I have chartered hazard's path
I have seen the storm arise
Like a giant in his wrath
Every danger I have known
That a reckless life can fill
Though her presence is now flown, her bright smile haunts me still
Though her presence is now flown, her bright smile haunts me still

At the first sweet dawn of light
When I gaze upon the deep
Her form still greets my sight
While the stars their vigils keep
When I close my aching eyes
Sweet dreams my memory fill
And from sleep when I arise, her bright smile haunts me still
And from sleep when I arise, her bright smile haunts me still

Hear it. Modern version.

Hold Me Down
Halsey

My demons are begging me to open up my mouth
I need them, mechanically make the words come out
They fight me, vigorous and angry, watch them pounce
Ignite me, licking up the flames they bring about

Chorus:
I sold my soul to a three-piece
And he told me I was holy
He?s got me down on both knees
But it?s the devil that?s tryna
Hold me down, hold me down
Sneaking out the back door, make no sound
Knock me out, knock me out
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for
Hold me down, hold me down
Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown
Knock me out, knock me out
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for

Selfish, taking what I want and call it mine
I?m helpless, clinging to a little bit of spine
They rush me, telling me I?m running out of time
They shush me (sssh), walking me across a fragile line

(Chorus)

Hold me down now, Hold me down now
Hold me down

(Chorus)

Hear it.

Little Hell
City and Colour

What if I can't be all that you need me to be
We've got a good thing going, we have some promises to keep
But my addiction it can be such a detriment
Please believe in this my dear, I am more than penitent

What if everything's just the way that it will be
Could it be that I am meant to cause you all this grief
My war ships are lying off the coast of your delicate heart
And my aim is steady and true as it's been right from the start

There's a degree of difficulty in dealing with me
From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories
If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and forget it all

So when we leave it'll be a quick midnight escape
We'll disconnect ourselves from all of yesterday
I'll dig for water and fashion our very own wishing well
Then we'll throw our coins down hoping to rid us of this little hell

There's a degree of difficulty in dealing with me
From my haunted past comes a daunting task of living through memories.
If we could just hang a mirror on the bedroom wall, stare into the past and forget it all

Will we get out of this little hell

Hear it.

Drowning
The Eden Project

I think I lost my mind a while ago
'Cause I've been seeing some ghosts
And I'd be lying if I told you I'm fine
But I lie
Yeah, these thoughts I would never speak out loud
I've seen you cry but I've never seen you shout
Like a hurricane, these shots don't ricochet
Sight blurred I'm walkin' dazed, girl I'm ***ing faded
Or maybe wasted, I can't remember how it happened
Oh, I dont know my limits at all
I'm sinking down into my thoughts
Oh my God

But so what if I drank too much
This ain't love, its just a firefight
And even if its not enough
I'll say it once I swear I never lied
But this is the last time (x4)
You'll ever bring me down
Girl you know I'm drownin'
And I keep goin' down
But I'll swear that I'm not , I'm not, I'm not

Its friendly fire and sunlight
The aftermath of one too many
Words I said, when I should of said nothing at all
At all
I gotta stop overthinking
And missing
What could have been
You were never even really here
And still were are spinning
Just liars and cheaters
Right back where we started
But it don't get easier
I am drowning
In liquor and apathy
Will be the death of me

But so what if I drank too much
This aint love, its just a firefight
And even if its not enough
I'll say it once I swear I never lied
But this is the last time (x4)
You'll ever bring me down

Hear it.

Little Wing
Jimi Hendrix

Well, she's walking through the clouds,
With a circus mind that's running wild,
Butterflies and Zebras,
And Moonbeams and fairy tales.
That's all she ever thinks about.
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me,
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free.
It's alright, she says it's alright,
Take anything you want from me,
Anything.
Fly on little wing.

Hear it. (Cover by Micah Brown)

Touch Me (Acoustic)
Neo Geo

I could never underestimate my fate
Closing face to make it so hard to relate
I'm just trying to get back to where I started

And all this friction that I can't seem to escape
Every time I turn around, it's just too late
It's no wonder I'm begging you just to
I'm begging you just to


Touch me, feel me, love me
Before I self-destruct, I need to be free
Even if it ends all that I love
I don't care, care
I don't care
I don't care anymore

I'll disclose my every obvious mistake
It's the everything I need your love to wait
Picking up this mess, I'm always back to where I started

And mister, I won't ever let you catch my name
I'm running from the thought of being all the same
It's a shame, but I'm begging you just to
I'm begging you just to
I'm begging you just to



There's so many distractions
All these boys with their actions
They keep driving me completely crazy
And it's no wonder that I
Must have you here all the time
I can't see myself without you baby

Roses are red, and violets are blue
Who would've thought I'd give into you?
Roses are red, and violets are blue
Who would've thought I'd rip you, rip you in two?
Rip you in two



Touch me, feel me, love me (ah ah ah ah)
Touch me, feel me, love me (I need you right here)
Touch me, feel me, love me (ah ah ah ah)
Touch me, feel me
I don't care anymore

Hear it.

No Roots
Alice Merton

I like digging holes and hiding things inside them
When I'll grow old I hope I won't forget to find them
'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
I built a home and wait for someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town running
'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
And a thousand times I've seen this road
A thousand times


I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots uh uh uh uh
I've got no roots uh uh uh uh

I like standing still, boy that's just a wishful plan
Ask me where I come from, I'll say a different land
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
I can't get the numbers, and play the guessing name
It's just the place that changes, the rest is still the same
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
And a thousand times I've seen this road
A thousand times



I like digging holes
Hiding things inside them
When I'll grow old
I won't forget to find them
I like digging holes
Hiding things inside them
When I'll grow old
I won't forget to find them
I've got no roots
No roots



Hear it.
