Too many songs
Too many songs that when combined perfectly describe how I feel right now. So because I feel like it, I’m gonna put them here.
Everlong
Hello I’ve waited here for you, everlong
Tonight I throw myself into and out of the red, out of her head she sang
Come down and waste away with me, down with me
Slow how, you wanted it to be, I’m over my head, out of head she sang
And I wonder when I sing along with you if everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You’ve got to promise now to stop when I say when she sang
Breathe out so I can breathe you in, hold you in
And now I know you’ve always been out of your head, out of my head I sang
And I wonder when I sing along with you if everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ask of you
You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when she sang
Walking After You
TOnight I’m tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just won’t do without you, matter of fact
I’m on your back, I’m on your back, I’m on your back
If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you
If you accept surrender, I’ll give up some more
Weren’t you adored
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I’m on your back, I’m on your back, I’m on your back
Another heart is cracked in two, I’m on your back
The Pretender
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in again
They need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I’m finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spinning infinity
Boy, the wheel is spinning me
It’s never ending, never ending
Same old story
What if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
You’re the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
In time or so I’m told
I’m just another soul for sale, oh well
The page is out of print, we are not permanent
We’re temporary, temporary
Same old story
What if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
You’re the pretender
What if I say I’ll never surrender?
I’m the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
I’m the face that you have to face mirrorin’ your star
I’m what’s left, I’m what’s right, I’m the enemy
I’m the hand that’ll take you down, bring you to your knees
So who are you? Yeah who are you?
Yeah who are you? Yeah, who are you?
Keep you in the dark, you know they all pretend
Let it Die
A heart of gold but it lost its pride
Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes
I’ve seen your face in another light
Why’d you have to go and let it die?
Why’d you have to go and let it die?
Why’d you have to go and let it die?
In too deep and out of time
?
A simple man and his blushin’ bride
(Why’d you have to go and let it die?)
Interveinious, intertwined
(Why’d you have to go and let it die?)
Heart’s gone cold, your hands were tied
(Why’d you have to go and let it die?)
Why’d you have to go and let it die?
(Why’d you have to go and let it die?)
Do you ever think of me?
You’re so considerate
Do you ever think of me?
Oh, so considerate
Best of You
I’ve got another confession to make
I’m your fool
Everyone’s got their chains to break
Holdin’ you
Were you born to resist, or be abused?
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Or are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn’t have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I’ll break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can’t choose
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
It’s real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must confess
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
It’s real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You’d die to heal
THe hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must confess
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
I’ve got another confession my friend
I’m no fool
I’m getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new
Were you born to resist, or be abused?
I swear I’ll never give in, I refuse
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
It’s real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must confess
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
