                                                    Lofticries - Purity Ring


green, green thunder and the
loud, loud rain
lead our woes asunder
neath the proud, proud veins
of trains let bleed the gunmen of our
pumping earthly hearts
wean or joys and plunder
peel our shining teeth
bid our hold on happiness

beat weighty tests with lofty cries
lofty cries with trembling thighs
weepy chests with weepy sighs
weepy skin with trembling thighs

you must be hovering over yourself
watching us drip on each other's sides
dear brother collect all the liquids off
of the floor
use your oily fingers
make a paste
let it form

let it seep through your sockets and ears
into your precious ruptured skull
let it seep let it keep you from us
patiently heal you
patiently unreel you

Oh look. I have this old blog still. Hmmm.



                                                 Prehistoric - Now, Now (Every Children)




Songwriters: Abbott, Jessica Daniel / Dalager, Acacia Rae / Hale, Bradley Lawrence

I know this will mess things up tonight
But god it feels so good to close my eyes
I'll say that I've been trying to move on
We both know I'm not

It may be different now but the pattern won't wash out
Covers up our eyes, leaves us knots and severed ties
We follow new lines

I would trade this sleep for you in a heartbeat
But this weather will not lift
It leaves us shouting into cliffs without an echo
Each day you come closer
So close I can almost feel your breath on my shoulders
But I know if I turn around you might run away again
Stuck like those prehistoric mammoths in the ice
Thaw me out and I won't close my eyes
Stuck like those prehistoric mammals in the ice
Thaw me out and I won't go to sleep tonight

Today's Song:

One More Time with Feeling by Regina Spektor

Lyrics:
Your stitches are all out
But your scars are healing wrong
The helium balloon inside your room has come undone
And it's pushing up at the ceiling
And the flickering lights it cannot get beyond

Everyone takes turns
Now it's yours to play the part
And they're sitting all around you
Holding copies of your chart
And the misery inside their eyes is
Synchronized and reflecting into yours

Hold on!
One more time with feeling
Try it again, breathing's just a rhythm
Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right
This is why we fight

You thought by now you'd be
So much better than you are

You thought by now they'd see
That you have come so far

And the pride inside their eyes
Would synchronize into a love you've never known
So much more than you've been shown

Hold on!
One more time with feeling
Try it again, breathing's just a rhythm
Say it in your mind until you know that the
Words are right

This is why we fight
This is why we fight

Today's Song:

I Swear I'll Change by Attack Attack!

Lyrics:

Seeing everyone's true face
Makes me wish they would keep their masks on
Cause I don't wanna know, who you really are
I thought you would have learned your lesson by now

True face exposed, dark motives in the mind
Was listening too scary for you?
You haven't changed, you never will (you never will)

You and I will never be the same,
You say you try, but you never change
You can hide, and say you're not to blame
I thought you have learned your lesson by now

I was wrong
Something in me still has love for you
I don't know why
Everyone is not as good as they seem
Trust in me, trust in me.

I never knew that lying came so natural to you
Cause I can't bear to see, the man you're gonna be
I thought you would have learned your lesson by now

You and I will never be the same,
You say you try, but you never change
You can hide, and say you're not to blame
I thought you have learned your lesson by now

You and I will never be the same,
You say you try, but you never change
You can hide, and say you're not to blame
I thought you have learned your lesson by now

Today's Song:

Three Cheers for Five Years (Acoustic) by Mayday Parade



I swear that you don't have to go
I thought we could wait for the fireworks
I thought we could wait for the snow
To wash over Georgia and kill the hurt
I thought I could live in your arms
And spend every moment I had with you
Stay up all night with the stars
Confess all the faith that I had in you
To late, I'm sure and lonely
Another night, another dream wasted on you
Just be here now against me
You know the words so sing along for me baby
For heaven's sake I know you're sorry
But you won't stop crying
This anniversary may never be the same
Inside I hope you know I'm dying
With my heart beside me
In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
And if I died right now you'd never be the same

I thought with a month of apart
Together would find us an opening
And moonlight would provide the spark
And that I would stumble across the key
Or break down the door to your heart
Forever could see us not you and me
And you'd help me out of the dark
And I'd give my heart as an offering

And I will always remember you as you are right now to me
And I will always remember now
Sleep alone tonight with no one here just by your side
How does he feel, how does he kiss
How does he taste while he's on your lips
I can't forget you
I know you want me to want you
I want to
But I can't forgive you
So when this is over don't blow your composure baby
I can't forgive you
I know you want me to want you I want to

Today's Song:


If I'm James Dean, Then You're Audrey Hepburn - Sleeping With Sirens



Stay for tonight
If you want to
I can show you
What my dreams are made of,
As I'm dreaming of your face
I've been away for a long time
Such a long time
And I miss you there
I can't imagine being anywhere else
I can't imagine being anywhere else but here


How the hell did you ever pick me?
Honestly, I could sing you a song
But I don't think words can express your beauty
It's singing to me
How the hell did we end up like this?
You bring out the beast in me
I fell in love from the moment we kissed
Since then we've been history


They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me


It goes to show, I hope that you know that you are
What my dreams are made of
Can't fall asleep, can't fall asleep
I lay in my bed awake, in my bed awake at night
As I dream of you
I'll fall in love, you'll fall in love
It could mean everything, everything to me
I can't imagine being anywhere else


They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me

The way that we are
It's the reason I stay
As long as you're here with me
I know we'll be Ok
The way that we are
It's the reason I stay
As long as you're here with me
I know I'll be Ok


They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
Please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
Please stay forever with me

(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one baby)
They say that love is forever
Your forever is all that I need
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one girl)
Please stay as long as you need

(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one baby)
Can't promise that things won't be broken
But I swear that I will never leave
(I couldn't love just anyone, I was created to love just one girl)
Please stay forever with me

Today"s Song:


The Gunsling by Black Veil Brides



CAN'T. STOP. LISTENING.


Lyrics:


When sun sets dusk and streets are cleared,
This town's renegade is near.
Standing tall, awaiting host,
What's it like to see a ghost?
Both outlaws equal, yes indeed,
A one shot rhythm to the gunsling
So long my sweet.
Bye Bye.

Standin' alone in soot and stone,
He draws from this holster, a man.
Crawlin' alone through the soot and stone,
He makes his way home half to death.

He clenched his fist and said a prayer,
For every breath of dusty air.
He fires loud, the end is close,
What's it like to be a ghost?
Both outlaws equal, yes indeed,
A one shot rhythm to the gunsling,
So long my sweet.

I hear those voices calling...
"Take your life"
I cannot take this lying down...
NO!

Standin' alone in soot and stone,
He draws from this holster, a man.
Crawlin' alone through the soot and stone,
He makes his way home half to death.

In time. In vain.
I wash my hands of yesterday.
If I should fall,
If I should pass,
It's worth one last stand before the gates of hell!

I hear those voices calling...
"Take your life"
I cannot take this lying down...
NO!

Standin' alone in soot and stone,
He draws from this holster, a man.
Crawlin' alone through the soot and stone,
He makes his way home half to death.

In time. In vain.
I wash my hands of yesterday.
If I should fall,
If I should pass,
It's worth one last stand before the gates of hell!

Today's Song:


The Memory by Mayday Parade


Lyrics:



She is everywhere I go
Everyone I see
Winter's gone and I still can't sleep
Summer's on the way
At least that's what they say
But these clouds won't leave

Walk away
I'm barely breathing
As I'm lying on the floor
Take my heart
As you're leaving
I don't need it anymore

This is the memory
This is the curse of having
Too much time to think about it
It's killing me
This is the last time
This is my forgiveness
This is endless

Now spring has brought the rain
But I still see your face
And I can not escape the past
Creeping up inside
Reminding me that I
Can never bring you back

This is the memory
This is the curse of having
Too much time to think about it
It's killing me
This is the last time
This is my forgiveness
This is endless

(This is endless)
This is endless
(This is endless)

Someone help me
'Cause the memory
Convinced itself to tear me apart
And it's gonna succeed before long

This is the memory
This is the curse of having
Too much time to think about it
It's killing me
This is the last time
This is my forgiveness
This is endless
(This is endless)

Someone help me
'Cause the memory
Convinced itself to tear me apart
And it's gonna succeed before long
(This is endless)

She is everywhere I go
Everyone I see
But these clouds won't leave

Today's Song:

You're My Best Friend by Queen




Ooo. you make me live
whatever this world can give to me
It's you, you're all I see
Ooo, you make me live now honey
Ooo, you make me live
You're the best friend
that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
You're my best friend
Ooo, you make me live
I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me girl
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend.
You're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love
The things that you do
You're my best friend
Ooo, you make me live.
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
Ooo, you make me live
You, you're my best friend.

Today's Song:

Outside Looking In by Jordan Pruitt



You don't know my name
you don't know anything about me
I try to play nice
I want to be in your game
The things that you say
You may think I never hear about them
But word travels fast
I'm telling you to your face
I'm standing here behind your back

[Chorus:]
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in

If you could read my mind
You might see more of me than meets the eye
And you've been all wrong
Not who you think I am
You've never given me a chance

[Chorus:]
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in

Well, I'm tired of staying at home
I'm bored and all alone
I'm sick of wasting all my time

[Chorus (x2):]
You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in

You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in

Today's Song:

If I Had Words from Babe

If I had words to make a day for you
I'd give you a morning golden and true
I'd make that day last for all time
and give you a night deep in moonshine



Dedicated to G.

Today's Song:

I Constantly Thank God for Esteban by P!ATD




Give us this day our daily dose of faux affliction
Forgive our sins
Forged at the pulpit with forked tongues selling faux sermons.
'Cause I am a new wave gospel sharp, and you'll be thy witness
So gentlemen, if you're gonna preach, for God sakes preach with conviction!

Strike up the band!
Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it
No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you move.
Strike up the band!
Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it
No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you move.

Just stay where I can see you.
Douse the lights!
We sure are in for a show tonight

In this little number we're graced by two displays of character,
We've got: the gunslinger extraordinaire walking contradictions
And I for one can see no blood from the hearts and the wrists you allegedly slit
And I for one wont stand for this if this scene were a parish you'd all be condemned.

Strike up the band!
Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it
No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you move.
Strike up the band!
Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it
No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you, don't you move.

Just stay where I can see you
Douse the lights!
We sure are in for a show tonight
Just stay where I can see you
Douse the lights!
We sure are in for a show tonight

Stay where I can see you
Douse the lights!

La da da da da da da Da da da da da da La da da da da da da

Strike up the band!
Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it
No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you move.
Strike up the band!
Whoa-oh, the conductor is beckoning
Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it
No. Don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you move.
Don't you move
Don't you move
Strike up the band!

Today's Song:

Love is War by Hatsune Miku (Pandora Remix)

Yes, I know that it is in Japanese. Yes, I am aware that the Video is titled "LOVE is COMBAT". That was the animator's take on the song. I felt the need to show you guys this animator, KamiNekoYu. Their work is amazing, you should check them out.


The (rough) English Translation:

Now there's no where to go
in the heat of this love
AHH...

Gray clouds,
Monochrome bustles,
sunlight cast shadows,
dusk is changing it's color

Ah, the world is blurred
Even so, will I still love you?
I know this, though what should I do?
How can I...
What can I...?
What a fool...
I am

Let’s begin,
This is war!
Oh, to see you pleased with someone else!
Earnest love
that is sin
I will show you
how I feel!

The megaphone I tried shouting in, was broken
How hard I try to overreach myself,
I would fail to get into your sight.

Ah, a clear sky slid by..
But it doesn't suit at all
I couldn't get a hold of my feelings
How can I...
What can I...?
Crying...no,
I'm not...
I love you

Fight it out!
Shoot right to the heart!
I don't have a choice
Show off my skirt flap
I shall make you gaze upon me
Get ready to intercept
War situation still a drawback
Love is blind
Yes I'll be awaken by your kiss
