Three favorites in a row right here.

 

I feel sick
You're drowning in the pit of my stomach
You don't know that I'm caught
Thinking you remind me of someone I can face no more
I've gotta get him out of my mind

 

what will they think of us when they dig us up

 

I believe they can take anything from me
But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace
They can say all they wanna say about me

But I'm gonna carry on
I'm gonna keep on singing my song

And every time I tried to be what they wanted from me
It never came naturally
So I ended up in misery, wasn't able to see
All the good around me
I wasted so much energy on what they thought of me
Instead of simply just remembering to breathe

I'm human, I ain't able to please
Everyone at the same time, so now I find
My peace of mind living one day at a time

 

I call it acceptance, when you don't play your cards. I call it acceptance, when you don't live your heart. No excuses, I'll leave the town. 'Cause I've lived in a rollercoaster, for a little while. And it didn't seem to get that high. This marathon has no end I know, but all I can do is run. And I forgive my legs when they burn. And they burn.

 

I'm done, there's nothing left to show
I try but can't let go
Are you happy where you're standing still?
Do you really want the sugar pill?
I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll start
Tonight it feels so hard
As the train approaches Gare Du Nord
As I'm sure your kiss remains employed
Am I only dreaming?

 

Mr. Serotonin Man, lend me a gram
You call yourself a friend?
I got two left feet and I'm starting to cheat
On my girlfriend again
I caught her picking her nose
As the crowd cheered for an overdose
And I dont suppose you know where this train goes
There was a party that you had to miss
Because your friend kept cutting her wrists
Hyperpoliticized sexual trysts
"Oh, I think my boyfriend's a nihilist"
I said "Hey kids we're all just the same
What a shame"

 

I've told these stories
and I've said these lies
I ignore what my heart tells me
and I break it every time

I never think I lose
but it's a losing game
and I'm breaking all the rules
thinking that I'm gonna change

 

Yeah, you stick up for your friends
And you've got a lot of heart.
You remind me of myself
Before I lost my nerve.

I've been counting my mistakes.
I can see all that we've lost
And I don't want to talk
About the old days.

Disregard those clapping hands.
They'll turn to punches when you're down.
Disregard the critics' praise.
They'll be the first to tell the news
That you've sold your soul.
Disregard those dollar signs.
They'll buy the biggest house in hell
Where you'll live alone.
Just keep your head down,
Keep your friends close,
Hold fast to your beliefs
And, whatever else you do,
Stay True.

 

I don't know if I know love no more

 

love is real, not fade away^^

 

i love to see my city glow, them shawties puttin on a show, made it from that liquor sto, that motherfucker so cold

f.stokes + lazerbeak is unreal

 

Raise a toast to St. Joe Strummer
I think he might have been our only decent teacher
Getting older makes it harder to remember
We are our only saviors
We're gonna build something this summer

 

I can't remember when the earth turned slowly
So I just waited with the lights turned out again
I lost my place but I can't stop this story
I've found my way but until then
I'm only spinning

 

And I can’t carry on living like this, talking through glass.
You know that I can’t be the one to banish the mist, and ghosts in your past.

And so I’m left without a choice but walking out,
Though I’ve no hope I’ll ever find someone like you.
My head screaming I have to leave you,
but my heart is filled with doubts;
I don’t I wanna leave, but tell me what else can I do?

 

I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take, leads to one mistake
I keep going right back to the one thing that I need
I can't mend this torn state I'm in, getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve the pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn I keep going right back to the one thing that I need to walk away from

 

Love, if you want the truth
Anything's possible
You can walk upon the moon
Or you can watch it roll
It's never in the stars
It's in your heart
Yeah, you'll be kicked around
But get up anyway
You'll be broken into better shape

 

Simple math, it's why our bodies even lay here
Sinful math, the truth cannot be fashioned
What if you were crazy, would we have to listen then?

Been on a huge Manchester Orchestra kick lately.

 

Once upon a time I
Thought you were the hero
I waited for you all night
I closed my eyes and slept for years
You kissed me like a sunrise
I feel it through my forehead
I felt it like a goodbye
I'm not myself

 

mr serotonin man, lend me a gram
you call yourself a friend?

 

We're all just everyday people
And there's a part of you
Connected with everyone else
And there's me and there's you.
This plot can get so confusing
Oh, if you only knew
If I could I'll take you with me
When I'm here and you're there.
Are you alone?

 

underrated TSL

 

I can't compete with the clear eyes of strangers
I'm more and more replaced
By my friends each night
I can't compete
Just can't recover
How many years it's been, it's day one in my mind

 

Oh, a second verse!
Well, color me fatigued
I'm hiding in the leaves
in the CD jacket sleeves
tired of entertaining
some double-dipped meaning
a soft serve analogy
This drunken angry slur
in thirty-one flavors
//
We all know art is hard
When we don't know who we are

 

Sitting alone in the dark of a stadium
He whispers his secrets into a cheap guitar
With the flick of his wrist he turns words into melodies
Chords into church bells, fill up the allies
Lovers intwine in the heat of the night
And by dawn are apart in the shivering silences
We will pretend
That it's all just made up

The songs that he writes
Are too personal
He can't play them for anyone

When he's all alone, the lovesong writer sings
Ooooh
Can anyone hear me now?
No one hears him now
So he stumbles through syllables, cut from their sentences
Lost letters call to him, deep in the alphabet
"Please give us meaning"
