Music Monday: “Can’t Save Myself” by As It Is

“Can’t Save Myself” by As It Is 

I can’t help the way my mind is hardwired to hate myself
‘Cause I swear that this is hell
The way I desperately try to save myself
‘Cause I can’t save myself
A single breath (in empty lungs)
That’s all I got left (gasping for air)
And a bad idea branded in my brain I can’t seem to shake
Another day (in tired skin)
I shed and fray (far from desire)
‘Til all I am is textbook misery and my own mistakes
And as I’ve aged the only thing I think has changed
Is that the demons have moved from under my bed
Into the inner depths of my head
I can’t escape the ugly things my mind creates
I speculate that they’ll stay with my ’til the grave
In broken bones (a half-hearted smile)
I feel at home (I’m proud of nothing)
I tend to get attached so quick to all I’ve ever known
But I don’t seem to know a single fucking thing that can save me
I’m my own worst enemy
Is there any hope for me?
I’m the boy who chose not to grow up and now I’m unprepared for anything
Now I’m scared and I’m cold and alone because the world grew up without me
(Is there any hope for me?)

Music Monday: “Hallelujah” by Panic! at the Disco

“Hallelujah” by Panic! at the Disco 

my life started the day i got caught
under the covers
with second hand lovers
oh tied up in pretty young things
in a state of emergency
who was i trying to be
then the time for being sad is over
and you miss em like you miss no other
and being blue is better than being over it

all you sinners stand up sing hallelujah
show praise with your body stand up sing hallelujah
if you can’t stop shaking lean back let it move right through ya
say your prayers
say your prayers
say your prayers

i was drunk and it didn’t mean a thing
stop thinking about
the bullets from my mouth
i love the things you hate about yourself
just finished a daydream
who were you trying to be
then the time for being sad is over
and you miss em like you miss no other
and being blue is better than being over it

No one wants you when you have no heart and
I’m sitting pretty in my brand new scars and
You’ll never know if you don’t ever try again
So let’s try
Let’s try
Let’s try

Music Monday: “Horoscopes” by As It Is

“Horoscopes” by As It Is 

There’s no god if this is all there is for me, viagra
A temper and conceptions that I’m lonely.

When death comes, I’ll be ready,
But I’ll waste my life preparing.
There’s so much more to life than breathing.

I see life through a dog’s eyes,
A world in black and white,
A world that would so happily forget me,

I’m faithless I’m shameless

I just wanna believe in something,
But I think that horoscopes are bullshit,
I just wanna believe in something,
Anything at all, yeah,

I’m faithless I’m shameless

I make terrible decisions,
and I pay for them in the fear that keeps my eyes glued to the ceiling.

If I drown, will you drown with me?
‘Cause I’d hate to leave you lonely
In a world that would so happily forget me

I’m faithless I’m shameless

I just wanna believe in something,
But I think that horoscopes are bullshit,
I just wanna believe in something,
Anything at all, yeah,

All great men die young,
Just bodies in boxes or dust in porcelain and,
Once my friends are gone,
I’ll remember when we held the world with our fingers.

All great men die young,
Just bodies in boxes or dust in porcelain.
All great men die young,
And I’m so fucking scared to outlive all I’ve ever known.

I just wanna believe in something…

Music Monday: “If I Die” by Something Corporate

“If I Die” by Something Corporate

may have a slight obsession with Something Corporate. Side note: I was AT this concert. When I was 15 years old. 12 years ago. OMG

A train crashed
And everything slows down
I was wishing I could get out of this town
These dreams we’ve had
Have never made you cry
And I am not a twinkle in your eye
But I’ve got to get out of here
Cuz you drive me up the wall
I’ve got to get out of here
Cuz I can’t stand to fall

And If I die
see you won’t be so close to me
And I won’t be the one
Who sticks around
If I’m awake
see you won’t go to sleep, viagra sale I promise
And I won’t be the one
Who lets you down

Tailgates, long talks
And your superficial friends
Shiny, silver Fords
That lead us to dead ends
And I said do you lick these salty wounds
That you, yourself condone
I sit, wait, and I’m all alone
But I can’t go home
‘Cause you’re my home

If I die
see you won’t be so close to me
And I won’t be the one
Who sticks around
If I’m awake
see you won’t go to sleep, I promise
And I won’t be the one
Who lets you down
No, I won’t let you down
No, I won’t let you down

Tell me where you are tonight
And is everything alright?
Do you remember what I said,
While he’s sleeping in your bed?
tell me now you Smile hard
cuz i don’t smile much so far
And is he everything you need?
Is he everything I couldn’t be?
Does he make everything match better?
Bring you all the shiny weather that you want
And is he everything
everything I’m not

And If I die
You won’t be so close to me
And I won’t be the one
Who sticks around
If I’m awake
see you won’t go to sleep, I promise
And I won’t be the one
Who lets you down
no, I won’t let you down
no, I won’t let you down
I won’t let you down
I won’t let you down

Music Monday: “Home” by Our Last Night

“Home” by Our Last Night

I’m coming home!

The way those eyes look at me as I’m about to leave
I’ll hold you close, pharm can’t you see
That I just wanna stay with you, information pills I promised you
Write you letters as I’ll be back soon
Don’t you worry, this web I won’t let us fall apart
(Won’t let us fall apart)

No matter how far we find ourselves
Our love will keep us close
I want you to know, you will never be alone
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
I want you to know, I’m coming home!

Everyday it gets harder and harder to breathe
Why can’t we make believe
That we’ve got it all and we’re young and we’re free
You’re really all I need
I never found the right words to say
Kept it all inside, ignoring everything
I get lost trying to close the distance between us
But I will follow my heart back to you

No matter how far we find ourselves
Our love will keep us close
I want you to know, you will never be alone
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
I want you to know, I’m coming home

Take my hand just one more time
It’s safe to leave your doubts behind
I will be with you through the lonely days and the lonely nights
I will follow my heart back to you
I will follow my heart back to you
Take my hand just one more time
It’s safe to leave your doubts behind
I will be with you through the lonely days and the lonely nights

Take my hand just one more time
It’s safe to leave your doubts behind
I will be with you through the lonely days and the lonely nights

No matter how far we find ourselves
Our love will keep us close
I want you to know, you will never be alone
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
I want you to know, I’m coming home

Music Monday: “Somewhere in Neverland” by All Time Low

I get to see All Time Low (and Issues, medications eek!) on Saturday so I have to share an All Time Low song this week. It just makes sense. Of course.

“Somewhere in Neverland” by All Time Low 

 

Say goodbye to the halls and the classes
Say hello to a job and the taxes
The weekends with old friends spilling into 9 to 5 routine
Tell me how you feel over and done with
Like your life is a map with no compass to guide, physician
At the bar drinkin’ way too much
We sing along to “Forever Young”.

So here we go again
Wishin’ we could start again

Wendy run away with me
I know I sound crazy
Don’t you see what you do to me?
I wanna be your lost boy
Your last chance, a better reality

Wendy we can get away
I promise if you’re with me, say the word and we’ll find a way
I can be your lost boy, your last chance
Your “everything better” plan
Oh, somewhere in Neverland
(Somewhere in Neverland)

We’ll start a life of the plain and the simple
Of great times with far better people
And weekends with our friends
Laughing about the wine that stains their teeth
We’ll talk about how your parents separated and
How you don’t wanna make the same mistakes as them
I’ll say it’s all about stickin’ it out
And trying to feel forever young

So here we go again
Wishin’ we could start again

Wendy run away with me
I know I sound crazy
Don’t you see what you do to me?
I want to be your lost boy
Your last chance, a better reality

Wendy we can get away
I promise if you’re with me, say the word and we’ll find a way
I can be your lost boy, your last chance
Your “everything better” plan
Oh, somewhere in Neverland

So here we go again
Wishin’ we could start again

Wendy run away with me
I know I sound crazy
Don’t you see what you do to me?
I want to be your lost boy
Your last chance, a better reality

Wendy we can get away
I promise if you’re with me, say the word and we’ll find a way
I can be your lost boy, your last chance
Your “everything better” plan
Oh, somewhere in Neverland
Oh, somewhere in Neverland
(Somewhere in Neverland)
