Unfold -- Marie Digby

What I can remember
Is a lot like water
Trickling down a page
Of the most beautiful colors
I can't quite put my finger
Down on the moment
That I became like this...

You see I am the bravest girl
You will ever come to meet
Yet I shrink down to nothing
At the thought of someone
Really seeing me
I think my heart is wrapped around
And tangled up in winding weeds

But I don't wanna go on living
Being so afraid of showing
Someone else my imperfections
And even though my feet
Are trembling
And every word I say comes tumbling
I will bare it all... watch me unfold
Unfold, unfold
These hands that I hold
Behind my back are
Bound and broken
By my own doing
And I can't feel
Anything anymore
I need a touch to remind me
I'm still real

And I don't wanna go on living
Being so afraid of showing
Someone else my imperfections
And even though my feet
Are trembling
And every word I say comes tumbling
I will bare it all... watch me unfold
Unfold, unfold
Unfold
Unfold, unfold

My soul
It's dying to be freed
You see... I can't live the rest of my life
So guarded
It's dying to be free
It's up to me to choose...
What kind of life I lead

'Cause I don't wanna go on living
Being so afraid of showing
Someone else my imperfections
And even though my feet
Are trembling
And every word I say comes tumbling
I will bare it all... watch me unfold
Unfold, unfold
Unfold
Unfold, unfold

I will allow someone to love me
I will allow someone to love me.

It's Only Life -- The Shins

Died in the world, you've been cornered by a natural desire

You want to hop along with the giddy throng through life

But how will you learn to steer when you're grinding all your gears?


You've been talking for hours

You say time will wash every tower to the sea

And now you've got this worry in your heart


Well I guess it's only life, it's only natural

We all spend a little while going down the rabbit hole

The things they taught you, they're lining up to haunt you

You got your back against the wall

I call you on the telephone, won't you pick up the receiver?


I've been down the very road you're walking now

It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome

It takes a while but we can figure this thing out

And turn it back around


You used to be such a lion

Before you got into all this crying on my lap

Back when you thought I'd never get this far


But did you really think I'd shut an open door?

The future's calling and Imma answer her

The wheels in motion, I never drank your potion

And I know it breaks your heart

Open up your parachute, something's gotta stop the freefall


I've been down the very road you're walking now

It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome

It takes a while but we can figure this thing out

And turn it back around

Numb -- The Airborne Toxic Event

I've been in a daze
It seems like days that I've been waiting
For this dream to pass
It goes so fast
It seems nothing lasts
I think I've lost something

Stuck here with these people
Wide awake, the crush of bodies in one space
I feel your hot breath on my tongue
I wonder where you've gone

And the ever turning spinning wheel of people, places
Lies I feel
The restless beat of the sleepless night to come
I just want to be numb
I just want to be numb

Hopeless these three years like smoking gears
I go from place to place
Just endlessly and half asleep
Like I'm falling alone at some endless breach

I don't know where I am
I don't know what I've done
I just go over it and over it again and again and again
I can't sleep at night
I cant breathe
But If I drink tonight I'll get you off my mind

And the ever present pit I feel
I'm turning on some spinning wheel
Of faces and the scenes I see
And none of it seems real to me
Just the bleary haze of the morning still to come

I just want to be numb
I just want to be numb
I just want to be numb
I just want to be numb
I just want to be numb
