SUMMER SHUDDER; afi
this is the fall, this is the long way down. and our lives look smaller now. and our lives look so small. under the summer rain, i burned away. under the summer rain, we burned away.
HEAVY; linkin park ft. kiiara
you say that i’m paranoid, buy i’m pretty sure the world is out to get me. it’s not like i make the choice to let my mind stay so fucking messy. i know i’m not the center of the universe, but you keep spinning ‘round me just the same. i know i’m not the center of the universe, but you keep spinning 'round me just the same. i’m holding on. why is everything so heavy? i’m holding on to so much more than i can carry. i keep dragging around what’s bringing me down. if i just let go, i’d be set free.
SHADOW; bleachers
and i know that they have hurt you, and i know the love you gave feels cheap and used. and i know it’s getting harder, and i know the lights have all gone dark on you. still, i will love your shadow when the love you gave feels cheap and used. yes, i will love your shadow when the lights have all gone dark on you.
PEACE OF MIND; the jezabels
hey there, baby, we’ll be fine. i’ll always want your peace of mind. i’ll always look forward to better days ahead.
SUMMERTIME; my chemical romance
when the lights go out, will you take me with you and carry all this broken bone through six years down in crowded rooms and highways i call home? something i can’t know 'til now, 'til you pick me off the ground with a bring in hand, your lip-gloss smile, your scraped-up knee. and if you stay, i would even wait all night or until my heart explodes. how long 'til we find our way in the dark and out of harm? you can run away with me anytime you want.
GET AWAY WITH IT; animal kingdom
any place, any time, anything we like. any case, any cause, anything we want. you can get away with it. i can get away with anything. we can just stare away. you can get away with it. i can get away with anything if they all look away.
WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG; the killers
can we climb this mountain? i don’t know. higher now than ever before. i know we can make it if we take it slow. let’s take it easy, easy now, watch it go. we’re burning down the highway skyline on the back of a hurricane that started turning when you were young. when you were young.
GENERAL LAFAYETTE! YOU ARE NOT ALONE; ravens & chimes
friends, where have you gone now? i’m lost in the crowd, somewhere way out past the waves, the lights, the notes, the kids, the cities. and i heard the six bells to call the fading day as twilight fell on lafayette street, like it always does. oh each voice, ring out loud and i echo through your house. don’t be afraid to sing along, to sing alone you are. you know i always have. and late two birds outside my window. i can hear their wings. i hope you understand it is much easier this way. and i know how hard it is to change. i know, i know. i see you on the avenue still riding buses like a ghost.
THE CITY’S SUMMER; the honorary title
surge of static electricity brought on by the fear of being seen. creeping up in silence on the battle scene, slow and slithering. we stand still on the fourth of july, numb to explosions that scream and light, light up the sky.
