Lonely is a muse - Halsey lyrics

I spent years becoming cool
And in one single second you can make a decade of my efforts disappear
I'm just waiting at the bar and you rip open all my scars
By saying something like, "Didn't know you were here"
I always knew I was a martyr and that Jesus was one too
But I was built from special pieces that I learned how to unscrew
And I can always reassemble to fit perfectly for you
Or anybody that decides that I'm of use
Lonely is the muse
Ah
Lonely is the muse
So, where do I go in the process when I'm just an apparatus?
I've inspired platinum records, I've earned platinum airline status
And I've mined a couple diamonds from the stories in my head
But I'm reduced to just a body here in someone else's bed
I always knew I was a martyr and that Jesus was one too
But I was built from special pieces that I learned how to unscrew
And I can always reassemble to fit perfectly for you
Or anybody that decides that I'm of use
Lonely is the muse
Ah
Lonely is the muse
Ah
And I will always be a martyr, I will fill your life with songs
I'll be a wind chime in the window, catching life you throw around
And I will tear apart your bedroom, I'll call you in the night
I will exist in every second just to decorate your life
And when you're done, you can discard me like the others always do
And I will nurse my wounds until another artist stains me new
I will always reassemble to fit perfectly in you
For anybody that decides that I'm of use
Lonely is the muse
Ah
Lonely is the muse
Ah
Lonely is the muse
Lonely and forgotten aside

Grief 

I thought I might die today 
And then you went away 
You tease me with your presence 
Then leave me lifeless 
Do you get off on torturing me?
What is it you see?
Is something wrong with me?
Because eventually they all leave
Just keep me here trapped in grief
This view is what I’m used to 
I’ll remember you until the end
Where I’ll be waiting for you 

Infinity - Niykee Heaton

I wanna walk to the edge of the earth
Scream your name
'Til the fire's gone
For my loss
I wanna drink til' I don't feel the urge
To run back to you and lay it down
Make me yours
I can still feel your breath all over me, feeling me
I could fuck with you for eternity, infinity
Turn all the lights on
I could be your lover
I could be the one for you and no one else at all
So how long will it be till you see how bad I need this
I'll give you all if you please, never leave I need to keep it
I could fuck with you for infinity
I wish I'd never touched no one before
I envy the hearts that you've adored
That you loved
Don't wanna fight so let's settle the score
Tear me apart
But don't let go
I can still feel your breath all over me, feeling me
I could fuck with you for eternity, infinity
Turn all the lights on
I could be your lover
I could be the one for you and no one else at all
So how long will it be till you see how bad I need this
I'll give you all if you please, never leave I need to keep it
I could fuck with you for infinity
Tell me that I'm crazy
Tell me I'm wrong
I will be your baby even when your gone
'Cause I don't wanna tell you that I don't feel you at all
I'll be standing here when your gone
I can still feel your breath all over me, feeling me
I could fuck with you for eternity, infinity
Turn all the lights on
I could be your lover
I could be the one for you and no one else at all
So how long will it be till you see how bad I need this
I'll give you all if you please, never leave I need to keep it
I could fuck with you for infinity
I could fuck with you for infinity

This is what it feels like
To be in love with you 
It feels like the sun is always shining 
Glorious but painful on my skin
It feels like watching our favorite movie
Sad, but a little dramatic
It feels like my breath being taken away 
Like a boulder sitting upon my chest 
It feels like I am dying 
Like a part of myself isn’t coming back 
It feels like listening to my favorite song 
Replaying our memories over and over 
It feels like holding my breath 
Waiting for you to respond 
It feels like waking from a falling dream 
Confusing, but exhilarating at the same time 
It feels like holding back my vomit 
Wanting to say everything on my mind 
Lastly, it feels like I’m home
But unsure where home even is 
Unless I’m with you 

Halsey - is there somewhere

You were dancing in your tube socks in our hotel room
Flashing those eyes like highway signs
Light one up and hand it over, rest your head upon my shoulder
I just wanna feel your lips against my skin

White sheets, bright lights, crooked teeth, and the night life
You told me this is right where it begins
But your lips hang heavy underneath me
And I promised myself I wouldn't let you complete me

I'm trying not to let it show, that I don't want to let this go
Is there somewhere you can meet me?
'Cause I clutched your arms like stairway railings
And you clutched my brain and eased my ailing

You're writing lines about me, romantic poetry
Your girl's got red in her cheeks, 'cause we're something she can't see
And I try to refrain but you're stuck in my brain
And all I do is cry and complain because second's not the same

I'm sorry but I fell in love tonight
I didn't mean to fall in love tonight
You're looking like you fell in love tonight
Could we pretend that we're in love?

What are you made from?

You seem like you’re made of something ethereal
Like you were created just for me
From fairy dust and rainbows
Maybe some lucky charms as well
Because I know you would bring me fortune 
Just by standing near me 
I see you in all these sweeping surroundings 
Ones we’ve been in together in past lives
Traveling as one for lifetimes 
I beg you to come back to me 
I’ll take you in any form 
Showering you with the peace and love you deserve 
You’re mysterious beautiful presence 
Deserves to be shown off 
But I want to just keep you in a jar 
By my bedside 
Putting you on display 
So you’re not all used up at once 
Let’s test our luck 

Untitled #2

Please stop staring 
I already feel blinded 
Maybe I’ll get you some Ray Bans 
Just don’t break them again 
I can’t trust you anymore though
Especially with anything I own 
You will probably sell it like all the babies clothes 
Or like you did with your mothers house 
Such cruel intentions 
But your stare is too hypnotizing 
And im already drunk off you 
I’ll do whatever you want 
Who wants to be controlled like that?
Maybe get a dog, or a cat 
That will follow all your rude rules 
In a sentimental moment 
Here, take these eyes instead
It’s only for our protection 
From your captivating light 

Why do you come in like a tornado
Ruining everything in my path
But leaving everything else untouched
I’m already broken
So just keep breaking what isn’t yours to break
Like everyone else
Pick me a part
Causing destruction
Wherever I see you
Whenever I see you
This girl is a gem you see
She came up from the ground
And rose like a dandelion
And when the rain comes
It might seem like she’s destroyed
But just you wait
When the sun comes up again
She will be beautiful again
Full of life

This pain is excruciating. 
It’s like someone is sitting on my chest
I’m gasping for air 
I want to breathe normally again
But I can’t do this without you 
You’re the oxygen that gives me life 
Just throw me a line or two 
I would be satisfied for the moment 
I seek relief from your stare; your effect on me 
But without your presence I’m lifeless 
Is there something your searching for
That is missing from my soul?
I’ll find a replacement if that’s what you need 
Tell me what you need 
I’ll be anything you want me to be 

“My limbs fail, Ny mouth is dry, my body trembles, my hair stands on end…and I cannot stand steady; my mind is reeling….”

Typo: “GITA” not “got”

“My limbs fail, Ny mouth is dry, my body trembles, my hair stands on end…and I cannot stand steady; my mind is reeling….”

There was a decorated general with
A heart of gold, that likened him to
All the stories he told
Of past battles, won and lost, and
Legends of old a seasoned veteran in
His own time

On the battlefield, he gained
Respectful fame with many medals
Of bravery and stripes to his name
He grew a beard as soon as he could
To cover the scars on his face
And always urged his men on

But on the eve of a great battle
With the infantry in dream
The old general tossed in his sleep
And wrestled with its meaning
He awoke from the night
Just to tell what he had seen
And walked slowly out of his tent

All the men held tall with their
Chests in the air, with courage in
Their blood and a fire in their stare
It was a grey morning and they all
Wondered how they would fare
Till the old general told them to go home

He said: I have seen the others
And I have discovered
That this fight is not worth fighting
And I've seen their mothers
And I will no other
To follow me where I'm going

So, take a shower, shine your shoes
You got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living
Take a shower, shine your shoes
You got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living
Go now you are forgiven

But the men stood fast with their
Guns on their shoulders not knowing
What to do with the contradicting orders
The general said he would do his own
Duty but would extend it no further
The men could go as they pleased

But not a man moved, their eyes gazed straight ahead
Till one by one
They stepped back and not a word was said
And the old general was left with his
Own words echoing in his head
He then prepared to fight

He said: I have seen the others
And I have discovered
That this fight is not worth fighting, no
And I've seen their mothers
And I will no other
To follow me where I'm going

So, take a shower, shine your shoes
You got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living
Take a shower, shine your shoes
You got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living
Go now you are forgiven

Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven, go

Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven, go

Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven
Go now you are forgiven

One day this boy and girl came together
Totally out of convenience
Their view of the world was insanely similar
They had no secrets
At least not with each other
Then, they decided they wanted a third
Purely out of selfishness
So they went into their secret lab
Hidden in the trees
Where all the magic happened
And started creating
Their were so many options
Red, up, circular, blue, happy, exhausted
They couldn’t help themselves
“Ah! We’ve finally got it!” With a brutally evil laugh
THIS one will be perfect
A few months later, the third had arrived
It was not what they had expected
“This isn’t blue, it’s green”
“This part isn’t circular, it’s squared”
But they already used up all their materials
Stuck with what they had made
What they thought they wanted
But one day, it proved them wrong
“What? We didn’t program you to have choices”
“This isn’t what it’s supposed to say or even do”
It was everything they weren’t
That was the best part. But they didn’t understand
Sorry, must have been technical difficulties
“I can be and do whatever I want to”
That’s what magic is
This is what you created
This is what you wanted, right?

Dust bowl dance lyrics
Mumford and Songs

The young man stands on the edge of his porch
The days were short and the father was gone
There was no one in the town and no one in the field
This dusty barren land had given all it could yield

I've been kicked off my land at the age of 16
And I have no idea where else my heart could have been
I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
And now I am sure my heart can never be still
So collect your courage and collect your horse
And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse

Seal my heart and break my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what I've done and do my time

Well, you are my accuser, now look in my face
Your oppression reeks of your greed and disgrace
So one man has and another has not
How can you love what it is you have got
When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
Liars and thieves you know not what is in store

There will come a time I will look in your eye
You will pray to the God that you always denied
Then I'll go out back, and I'll get my gun
I'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"

Seal my heart and break my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what I've done and do my time

Seal my heart and break my pride
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Align my heart, my body, my mind
To face what I've done and do my time

Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me
I know what I've done, 'cause I know what I've seen
I went out back and I got my gun
I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"

We are winning
FLOBOTS lyrics

Rival gangsters sit down to plan an after school program
A religious fanatic posts footage of an interfaith service project
A group of teenage boys watches a video of a father playing catch with his son
An adult film star paints thumbnail portraits of elderly couples fully clothed an smiling
A record executive records a demo of his apology
A policeman makes reverse 911 calls instructing residents to take to the streets
A patriarch reports for duty
She's wearing an orange jumpsuit and holding a picket sign
She's ashamed of her birthplace, but retreat is not an option
Women and children
Front line
Log on
Tune in
Stand and be counted, wounded, stationed
In the belly of the vulture watch your back
Theres no civilians
Women, children
Front line listen
Consider this a distant early warning
The fires imminent
Pollution gathering dust particles
Funneling through smokestacks, airways, bandwidth
This information tube fed
Check the labels
Delete the virus
Alert the masses
Butterfly wing cross wings, send black hawks toward hurricane survivors
Roses sprout from empty lots and sidewalk cracks
Pacifist gorillas move undetected, through concrete jungles
New forms are beginning to take shape
Once occupied minds are activating.
People are waking up!
The insurgency is alive and well
Rise of the flobots
Portrait of
The new American insurgent
Rattle and shake the foundations of the world order
Assembly line incent, resist, refuse
Inform, create
Direct loved one's to the trenches
Suit up forge rubble into fortress's
Plaster, cloth, aluminum
Broken porcelain
Rusted platinum
Burn blood stains from decompressed diamonds
Hammer the battle cry into braille studded armor
We are building up a new world
Do not sit idly by
Do not remain neutral
Do not rely on this broadcast, alone
We are only as strong as our signal
There is a war going on for your mind
If you are thinking, you are winning
Resistance is victory
Defeat is impossible
Your weapons are already in hand
Reach within you and find the means by which to gain your freedom
Fight with tools
Your fate, and that of everyone you know
Depends on it

Tell me how you feel 

Sometimes I forget to breathe 
When I think of you 
The way you take my breath away 
Is so overwhelming 
When I hear a song that reminds me of you 
Or when I talk to God
Asking him to keep you safe and to give you 
Unconditional peace 
Do you think of me too?
Does it also feel like your lungs will collapse 
When you hear my name?
If you even think of me at all
Without you I am incomplete 
You stole the missing piece of myself 
I've been searching for for lifetimes 
Do you also feel a piece missing?
You may find that I've been holding onto it dearly
I’m happy to combine our souls 
As one 
Like they were always meant to be 

Be a leader, not a follower they say. Dont be rude one says. Be respectful another says. Dont stay out too late she says. I trust you will stay in contact he says. Don’t talk too much they say. You’re not communicating most say. Understand peoples perspectives he says. Some people see black and white while others see screaming colors she says. Don’t touch me he says. Don’t touch me she says. Why are you so mean another says. What can I do differently she says. Make better habits they say. Your feelings are valid she says. Your feelings don’t matter another says. I don’t like this on you they say. You look better he says. You’re insane, crazy another says. Your perception is just different another says. Stranger danger they say. Trust, they say. Do what is right he says. Do what feels right another says.

I remember the first time I saw you
At least in this life
You opened the door, and I was in awe
But I tried to remain cool, collected, as poised as you
I thought, “how can someone like him be into me”?
Out connection was electric
You said you felt it too
I could feel the static spreading through my body
It was so intoxicating
Can we just stay like this forever?
Wishful thinking
Every time we said goodbye
I wanted to turn around and come back to uou
I was terrified of not seeing you again
How could anyone live without feeling like this
You woke me up
“Dont fall in love with me”
I let out the curse with my own stupid words
I tend to turn good men bad
Because I can’t control my thoughts
Theee voices in my head
That tell me to always speak what you hear
Ive been betrayed
By you, by my own mind
Do you think you could ever love me?
Because I saw you in my mothers house
But maybe that was the sign
Actually telling me to run
From a home lacking in love
