brightly wound

Don’t let the sun beat you down
Steal your crown
Hold your head to the ground
Just keep on walking

Don’t let your soul lose control
Let you roll down the mountain you climbed

Don’t let the sand blind your eyes
Realize they’re only lies and
Keep on walking

Let it cover you in grace
Let it take you from this place
And as your heart races
Pack your suitcases
And in the middle of the desert
There’s and oasis…

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Eerie whispers,
trapped beneath my pillow…
Won’t let me sleep
your memories

I know you’re in this room,
I’m sure I heard you sign
Floating, in-between, where our worlds collide

Scares the hell out of me
and the end is all I can see.
And it scares the hell out of me
and the is all I can see…

I know the moments near
and there’s nothing we can do
Look though a faithless eye
Are you afraid to die?

Muse

Won’t tell anybody that you turn the world around
Won’t tell anybody that your voice is my favorite sound
I won’t tell anybody, won’t tell anybody
They want to see us fall they want to see us fall down

I don’t need a parachute, baby if I’ve got you
Baby if I’ve got you, I don’t need a parachute
You’re going to catch me, you’re going to catch if I fall
Down, down, down

Ingrid Michaelson

Didn’t you love the things that they stood for?
Didn’t they try to find some good,
For you and me?
And we’ll be free,
Some day soon, it’s gonna be one day…

Anybody here, seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he’s gone?
I thought I saw him walking up over the hill,
With Abraham, Martin and John

Dion

You leave home and move on and you do the best you can
I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it’s like I’m someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I swear I’ll leave
Won’t take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me

Miranda Lambert

I have this theory that if we’re told we’re bad
Then that’s the only idea we’ll ever have
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
‘Cause anyone can start a conflict
it’s harder yet to disregard it
I’d rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me ‘cause I’d like to stay that way

Jewel

And who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

All my life I’ve tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it’s my turn to decide…

Sara Bareilles 

Its early fall
There’s a cloud on the New York skyline
Innocence dragged across a yellow line
These are the hands that built America
These are the hands that built America

U2

The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
the smell of the warm summer air.

I live in a town
where you can’t smell a thing
you watch your feet
for cracks in the pavement.

Up above
aliens hover
making home movies
for the folks back home,

of all these strange creatures
who lock up their spirits,
drill holes in themselves
and live for their secrets.

Radiohead

I might get your heart racing In my skin-tight jeans Be your teenage dream tonight

Let you put your hands on me In my skin-tight jeans Be your teenage dream tonight

You make me Feel like I’m living a Teenage Dream The way you turn me on I can’t sleep Let’s runaway And don’t ever look back Don’t ever look back

Katy Perry
