Freedom -- Amos Lee

I don't wanna be a martyr in this war
I don't wanna hear the same excuses anymore
That everything's a threat
And it's only gonna get worse, if we let it

Don't wanna blame the rich for what they got
Or point a finger at the poor for what they have not
Though the politician and the priest
Live in the belly of the beast because we fed it

Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now, yeah

Now if the tables were turned tell me how you would feel
Somebody busted up into your house telling you to stay still
While the leaders will deny defeat
Innocents they testify by dying in the street

Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now

Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now

Rewind -- Diane Birch

There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't have the words in my head
Days are passing by and all the leaves are changing too
But time won't change the things unsaid

'Cause everything is different now
I'd really like to tell you how

How I wanted you here by my side
I know what I said but I lied
It looked like a laugh but I cried
Oh, I wish I could push rewind

Oh, stupid pride it just can't hide the holes inside my heart
'Cause I need you here with me
Oh, I wish that I could take it back, I'd go back to the start
And tell you all the things that I feel

'Cause everything is different now
I'd really like to tell you how

How I wanted you here by my side
I know what I said but I lied
It looked like a laugh but I cried
'Cause I wish I could push rewind

I saw you on the corner holding hands with someone new
Happy as a boy could be
Love was in your eyes and yeah she looked the same way too
It's funny that was almost me

Now I wanna be there by your side
I know what I said but I lied
I wanted to laugh but I cried
'Cause it's too late to push rewind

Oh no, oh no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
I know what I said but I lied
Oh no, oh no, now I cried

Just too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
Oh no, it's just too late, too late, too late, too late
I can't push rewind, oh no, no
It's too late

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

Payphone -- Maroon 5

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
The people we used to be
It's even harder to picture
That you're not here next to me
You say it's too late to make it
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of shit
One more fucking love song I'll be sick

Oh, You turned your back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot yesterday
I gave you my love to borrow
But just gave it away
You can't expect me to be fine
I don't expect you to care
I know I've said it before
But all of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of shit
One more fucking love song I'll be sick

Now I'm at a payphone...

Oooooh ooh ooh, yeah, yeah

Now baby, don't hang up
So I can tell you what you need to know
Baby I'm begging you
Just please don't go
So I can tell you what you need to know

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairytales are full of shit
One more fucking love song I'll be sick

Yeah, now I'm at a payphone.

Hey Lover -- Keri Noble

Hey lover
I'm so lonely
You ain't touched me for days
Hey lover
I'm so weary
You won't be happy no matter what I say
'Cause I brought you kisses
All of my finest
All the best that I had to give
But you threw them a side
‘Cause you wanted better
And it makes me wonder if I’ve got what you want me to give

Hey mother
I need you to tell me whatever should I do?
To keep my lover
Here beside me, oh
I need you to guide me
Oh, what should I do
'Cause I've begged him
Got on my knees
Made me feel like
Some kind of fool
But I’ll do
Whatever he wants me
Whatever he needs me to do, oooh

Hey father
Don’t go crazy
‘Cause I’m not the baby
You think I am
Put your gun down
‘Cause you don’t need it
You got to believe me
If you think that you can
No, he don’t mean to
Take me for granted,
He just needs to understand
Maybe he can find another lady
But I’ll be damned if I can find myself another man

Hey lover
I'm so tired
‘Cause I’ve been workin’ to please you
Hey lover
What’s your goddamn problem
That keeps you up cryin’ this whole night through?
Is the love that
I try to give you
Well, is it less than you could give yourself?
Do I, do I mean less than your last lover?
Well maybe you should just go back to them.
No, lover
No, lover
I didn’t mean it, no
Hey lover
Oh oh ohhh
