[learntobeyou]

My Mathematical Mind -- Spoon
I wanna change your ways; said I'm gonna get it right one of these days
And I'm looking through you, riding the brakes
Bringing about the apocalypse is not considered, considered cool
Still you go setting it up but never give it a thought
Just go setting it up
My mathematical mind can see the breaks
So I'm gonna stop riding the brakes

Christopher, You're a Soldier Now -- Kat Flint
I said, wake up, wake up, Christopher
You are a soldier now, you are a soldier
Got to earn the space that you take up
You are a soldier now, you are a soldier
You'll be dreaming of the crosshairs in your sleep
And you'll be floating on the boys lost to the deep
And you'll be waiting for the, waiting for the sign of the end
And if you're breathing in the morning make your bed again

The Way Things Are -- Fiona Apple
I wouldn't know what to do with another chance if you gave it to me
I couldn't take the embrace of a real romance, it'd race right through me
I'm much better off the way things are; much much better off, better by far, by far
I wouldn't know what to say to a gentle voice, it'd roll right past me
And if you chalk it up you'll see I don't really have a choice, so don't even ask me
I'm much better off the way things are; much much better off, better by far

A Moment of Violence -- Streetlight Manifesto
I never did lose a battle but I'm feeling further from the end of war
Deplored, ignored, and rarely ever self-assured
...
How long do you think you can go before you lose it all?
Before they call you bluff and watch you fall?
I don't know but I'd like to think I had control
At some point but I let it go and lost my soul
Sit tight but the revolution's years away
I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say

Nothing Without You -- Vienna Teng
It's the quiet night that breaks me, I cannot stand the sight of this familiar place
It's the quiet night that breaks me, like a dozen papercuts that only I can trace
All my books are lying useless now; all my maps will only show me how to lose my way
Oh call my name, you know my name, and in that sound, everything will change
Tell me it won't always be this hard
I am nothing without you, but I don't know who you are
It's the crowded room that breaks me: everybody looks so luminous, and strangely young
It's the crowded room that's never heard, no one here can say a word of my native tongue

Anthem -- Chess
And you ask me why I love her through wars, death and despair
She is the constant; we who don't care
And you wonder will I leave her, but how?
I crossed over borders but I'm still there now

Stray Italian Greyhound -- Vienna Teng
Oh no, not now; please not now
I just settled into the glass half empty, made myself at home
And so why now? Please, not now
I just stopped believing in happy endings, harbors of my own
But you had to come along didn't you? Break down the doors, throw open windows
Oh if you knew just what a fool you have made me -- so what do I do with this?
This stray Italian greyhound, these inconvenient fireworks
This ice-cream-covered screaming hyperactive thought
God I just want to lay down, these colors make my eyes hurt
This feeling calls for everything that I am not

Somewhere A Clock is Ticking -- Snow Patrol
I've got this feeling that there's something that I missed
(I could do most anything to you...)
Don't you breathe, don't you breathe
Something happened, that I never understood
You can't leave, you can't leave
Every second, dripping off my fingertips
Wage your war, wage your war
Another soldier, says he's not afraid to die
Well I am scared, I'm so scared

Gorecki -- LAMB
Can we stay right here till the end of time, till the world stops turning?
Gonna love you till the seas run dry, I've found the one I've waited for
All this time I've loved you and never known your face
All this time I've missed you and searched this human race
Here is true peace, here my heart knows calm

Antebellum -- Vienna Teng
In the spring, we climbed the rolling hills and talked about our budding plans
And we smiled, our faces like a mirror showing us our secret sides
But then the fight, the sharp words splintering the night
How I couldn't be what you'd need; but oh how I could make you bleed
I know the border lines we drew between us
Keep the weapons down, keep the wounded safe
I know our antebellum innocence was never meant to see the light of our armistice
But how much would I give to have it back again?
How much did we lose to live this way?
You'll go home, I'll stay here; seasons keep on marching
I'll stay here, you'll go home with only strangers watching

Bang Your Drum -- Wolf Parade
It's cold, it's dark; it's not for people with uneasy hearts
But if you're with me on the other side
Strike up the band; we have survived
Oh do they beat that drum to get you back home
Or do they beat it to keep you away?
Don't be surprised at your regrets
Don't be surprised that the water made you wet

Colorblind -- Counting Crows
I am taffy-stuck and tongue-tied, stutter-shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready, I am ready, I am ready, I am fine
I am covered in skin, no one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding

Carry That Weight -- the Beatles
Boy, you're going to carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're going to carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
