"Don't look don't look" the shadows breathe
Whispering me away from you
"Don't wake at night to watch her sleep
You know that you will always lose
This trembling adored
Tousled bird mad girl... "
But every night I burn
Every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again

"Oh, don't talk of love." The shadows purr.
Murmuring me, away from you.
"Don't talk of worlds that never were.
The end, is all that's ever true.
There's nothing you can ever say.
Nothing you can ever do... "

Still, every night I burn
Every night, I scream your name
Every night I burn,
Every night, the dream's the same
Every night I burn,
Waiting for my only friend
Every night I burn,
Waiting for the world to end

"Just paint your face," The shadows smile.
Slipping me, away from you.
"Oh, it doesn't matter how you hide.
Find you, if we're wanting to.
So slide back down, and close your eyes.
Sleep a while, you must be tired... "

But every night I burn,
Every night, I call your name
Every night I burn,
Every night, I fall again
Every night I burn,
Scream the animal scream
Every night I burn,
Dream the crow black dream
Every night I burn,
Scream the animal scream
Every night I burn
Dream the crow black dream

Dreaming the crow black dream
Dreaming the crow black dream
Dreaming the crow black dream
Dreaming the crow black dream

Mookies Last Christmas

Mookies Last Christmas - By Saosin

Mookies Last Christmas
By Saosin


From throat and eyes, 
Came winter and reasons
I'm told to carry on
Sad overwhelms, 
My senses drown 
Oh, I feel dependent
Feeling like you were honestly gone
I can't shake it...

Make the same mistake twice
Burst of red and green all over me
Freeze the things that you love
I should let it fold over

We count the days left, 
Twenty-three
And all I know
Honestly, could I be protected
With you suddenly gone

The feeling that you were honest before
I can't shake it...

Make the same mistake twice
Burst of red and green all over me
Freeze the things that you love
I should let it fold over

Tomorrow Is A Long Time


Press Play To Listen To:
Tomorrow Is A Long Time - By Bob Dylan

Tomorrow Is A Long Time
By Bob Dylan


If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn’t such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin’
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin’
Only if she was lyin’ by me
Then I’d lie in my bed once again

I can’t see my reflection in the waters
I can’t speak the sounds that show no pain
I can’t hear the echo of my footsteps
Or can’t remember the sound of my own name
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin’
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin’
Only if she was lyin’ by me
Then I’d lie in my bed once again

There’s beauty in the silver, singin’ river
There’s beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love’s eyes
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin’
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin’
Only if she was lyin’ by me
Then I’d lie in my bed once again

Wish

Wish
By Ryan Johnston

Lights for darkened times
Ghosts floating in the clouds
Nightmares wrapped in dreams
Sewn to fit the memories

Stowaway, transplant hearts
Running out of oxygen
A Shipwrecked destiny
In a constellation sea

Falling like an echo
Twisted fairy tales 
Singing me to sleep
To the bone-yard underneath 

Lighting up darkened eyes
Ghosts blowing in the wind
Stars fall tauntingly
Never wish a thing, again

Valentine
By The Get Up Kids


It's words you forget, 
To anniversary songs
The bottles bite back
Your tolerance wrong
Your good intentions 
Count for little anymore
If you're sorry, why wage war?

I'm not fully convinced 
That there's something wrong with this
Could another point of view, 
Biased and untrue, 
Tear me away from you?

Will you be my valentine? 
If i'm a world away?
Apologies are breaking me
The constants, 
Aren't so constant anymore

For two days i wait 
For calls to come through
Tonight for me translates 
To yesterday, to you
You bend and you wave 
When you're barely away
I wish i could say tonight 
That when you bend
And wave goodbye 
You'd take me with you

Will you be my valentine? 
If i'm a world away?
Apologies are breaking me
The constants, 
Aren't so constant anymore

February's Stare

February's Stare
By Ryan Johnston

Valentine moon, 
Starstruck in your arms
Reeling in the night, 
But never you. Never you. 
February's sickness, 
Contagious, like your stare
I would say goodbye
But you were never really there
Never there...
You lived inside me once
And I would breathe you in like air
But distance killed the best of us
And time is a scar, not a souvenir 

You and I, we lived 
Weightless, in those times
Of summer soaked ideas
Glinting like a fire in your eyes
You and I, we died
Wasted, in the days
With the rigid winter air
Of slow motion afternoons
In the month, both of us were born

I saw a star beneath the stairs 
Glowing through the melting walls
Who will be the first to begin their fall?
Or will we become one?

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I the ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

I saw a star beneath the stairs 
Glowing bright before descent
And in the morning, there is nothing left 
But what's inside of me

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I the ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

And I don't want to die tonight
Will you believe in me?
And I don't want to fall into the light
Will you wish upon?
Will you walk upon me?
I don't want to die tonight

Will you believe in me tonight?
Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I the ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

The Days Of The Phoenix 
By AFI



I remember when I was told of story 
Of crushed velvet, candle wax, and dried up flowers
The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses, calling
Beckoning to sleep, offering a dream

Words were as mystical as purring animals
The circle of rage
The ghosts on the stage appeared
The time was so tangible, I'll never let it go
Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below
No one could see me

I fell into yesterday
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
I fell into fantasy

The words were as mystical as purring animals
The circle of rage
The ghosts on the stage appeared
The time was so tangible, I'll never let it go
Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below
No one could see me

I fell into yesterday.
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay.
I fell into fantasy

The girl on the wall always waited for me,
And she was always smiling
The teenage death boys
The teenage death girls
And everyone was dancing
Nothing could touch us then
No one could change us then
Everyone was dancing
Nothing could hurt us then
No one could see us then
Everyone was dancing
Everyone was dancing

No one could see me

I fell into yesterday
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
I fell into fantasy

Our dreams seemed not far away
Our dreams seemed not far away
Our dreams seemed not far away

I fell into fantasy

Turnpike Divides
By Thursday

Here's a thousand black cars
Driving around in my blood stream
I'd have to take a thousand pills
To find out where their headlights lead
Is it cold New York?
Is it freezing in your bed?
Because I caught a deep chill
When I went over the Hudson again

It's alright, counting city lights
Where the Turnpike divides
Waving goodbye to my former life

I don't want to be a self-medicator
But it's hard to sleep when you're born to run
I'm sick of living life in the Garden State Trap
But all the roads are pointing home again

Holy Cross has got a headstone 
All picked out for me
And my only job is to walk around 
Until I fall down at it's feet
Maybe home is just the place 
You can never escape
From the Camden City graves 
To the edge of the Palisades

It's alright, counting city lights
Where the Turnpike divides
Waving goodbye to my former life

I don't want to be a self-medicator
But it's hard to sleep, when you're born to run
I'm sick of living life in the Garden State Trap
But all the roads are pointing home again

And I'll be counting the city lights
Blinking on and off tonight 
As life passes by
And I'm left behind, 
Standing on the shoulder 
Of the Jersey Turnpike
Buildings seem to rise 
Like coffins full of stars 
Getting buried in the sky
You want to laugh and dance, to be free? 
Well, alright 

I've been thinking about those days I wanted to sleep
And you'd wake me up just before you'd leave
And I'd fall back into a dream
Walking in fresh city snow that you'd never seen
And I'd never leave your side
