Machine Head-Ten Ton Hammer








I am the thing that makes you sick
I am the blame that gets placed quick
Detect the crack within your lie
I'll be the wrath of your disdain
I'll be the fear in you engrained
Become the facts that you deny

I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass you'll shatter
With bloody fists I'll batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son

I'll be the trembling in your breath
Trickle of blood upon your flesh
You'd love to watch me take the fall
I'll be the thing that you despise
'Cause I'm the path to your demise
And I'm a be there standing tall, tall

I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass you'll shatter
With bloody fists I'll batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son

I can't stand or take another day my friend
You could learn a thing or two
I can't stand or take another day my friend
You could learn a thing or two

I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass you'll shatter
With bloody fists I'll batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son

AJR-Yes I'm A Mess









I leave my house at three o'clock
With two hundred texts and two missed calls
Guess all of the friends that I - off
All talked

And I took a job for just July
But feels like I might be here for life
Yeah, I'm in it now, I'm in it now
Could I start again, somehow?

Yes, I'm a mess, with an S on my chest
Got stress fillin' up my head
So I spent last night blowin' up my life
Now you won't see me again

Cheers to the front and cheers to the back
And cheers to the 2010s
I could hate my guts when the sun comes up
But I like myself like this
I like myself like this

Why should I fix the sh- I've done
When I could just pack my sh- and run?
Delete every number from my phone
So long

Yeah, I'll get new shirts 'cause mine all stink
And I'll tell my boss what I really think
Yeah, I'm in it now, I'm in it now
Could I start again, somehow?

Yes, I'm a mess, with an S on my chest
Got stress fillin' up my head
So I spent last night blowin' up my life
Now you won't see me again

Cheers to the front and cheers to the back
And cheers to the 2010s
I could hate my guts when the sun comes up
But I like myself like this
I like myself like this

Yes, I'm a mess with an S on my chest
So I spent last night blowin' up my life
Now you won't see me again

Yes, I'm a mess with an S on my chest
I could hate my guts when the sun comes up
But I guess that's what this is
I like myself like this

I could hate my guts when the sun comes up
But I like myself like this

Kill The Lights-Broken Bones




I wait here slowly dying
Killing my heart for nothing
My world will never be the same
I bathe in guilt and sadness
Shelter my eyes from madness
I mask these feelings of regret
I'm letting go, but

You're dead inside but still alive
There's nothing left but broken bones
You're full of lies, rotting inside
There's nothing left but broken bones
Broken bones!

I swallow all your embеrs
My burning heart surrenders
Show mе we'll make it out alive (make it out alive)
Those crooked thieves surprise you
Capture the man inside who
Wondered this world to hide his pain
I'm letting go, but

You're dead inside but still alive
There's nothing left but broken bones
You're full of lies, rotting inside
There's nothing left but broken bones
Broken bones!

You're dead inside but still alive
There's nothing left but broken bones

You're dead inside but still alive
There's nothing left but broken bones
You're full of lies, rotting inside
There's nothing left but broken bones
Broken bones!
(Broken bones!)

Queen & David Bowie (I'm screaming.... Let me out !!!)








"Under Pressure"

Mmm num ba de
Dum bum ba be
Doo buh dum ba beh beh

Pressure: pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da

That's OK

That's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
"Let me out!"

Tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets

Day day de mm hm
Da da da ba ba
OK

Chippin' around, kick my brains 'round the floor
These are the days: it never rains but it pours

Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
Be lap

People on streets
Ee da de da de
People on streets
Ee da de da de da de da

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
"Let me out!"

Tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high!
Pressure on people, people on streets

Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence, but it don't work
Keep coming up with love, but it's so slashed and torn

Why, why, why!?

Love, love, love, love, love

Insanity laughs under pressure
We're breaking

Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?

'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves

Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

Skid Row-Youth Gone Wild








Whoa, yeah

Since I was born, they couldn't hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned out of town
I never played by the rules, I never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere

When I look and see it's not only me
So many others have stood where I stand
We are the young, so raise your hands

They call us problem child, we spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile, we are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall, we're one and one for all
The writing's on the wall, we are the youth gone wild

Boss screaming in my ear about who I'm supposed to be
"Get a three-piece Wall Street smile, and son you'll look just like me"
I said, "Hey man, there's something that you ought to know
I tell you Park Avenue leads to Skid Row"

When I look and see it's not only me
We're standin' tall, ain't never a doubt
We are the young, so shout it out!

They call us problem child, we spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile, we are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall, we're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall, we are the youth gone wild
We are the youth gone wild! (Wild)

They call us problem child, we spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile, we are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall, we're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall, we are the youth gone wild

Whoa, whoa
Whoa, we are the youth gone wild
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, we are the youth gone wild
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, we are the youth gone wild
Whoa, whoa

Justin Timberlake-Selfish








Uh

If they saw what I saw
They would fall the way I fell
But they don't know what you want
And baby, I would never tell
If they knew what I know
They would never let you go
So guess what?
I ain't never lettin' you go

'Cause your lips were made for mine
And my heart would go flatline
If it wasn't beatin' for you all the time

So if I get jealous, I can't help it
I want every bit of you, I guess I'm selfish
It's bad for my mental, but I can't fight it, when
You're out lookin' like you do, but you can't hide it, no

Put you in a frame, ooh, baby, who could blame you?
Glad your mama made you
Makin' me insane, you cannot be explained, ooh
You must be an angel

Every timethe phone rings
I hope that it's you on the other side
I wanna tell you everything ('Thing)
Everything that's on my mind
And I don't want any other guys
Takin' my place, girl, I got too much pride
I know I may be wrong
But I don't wanna be right

'Cause your lips were made for mine
And my heart could go flatline
If it wasn't beatin' for you all the time, uh

Owner of my heart
Tattooed your mark
There for the whole world to see
You're the owner of my heart
And all my scars
Baby, you got such a hold on me, so

So if I get jealous, I can't help it

Laura Branigan-Self Control








Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters

In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walkin'
Down the street of my soul

You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control

Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control

I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
So I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes

A safe night (you take my self, you take my self control)
I'm living in the forest of my dream (you take my self, you take my self control)
I know the night is not as it would seem (you take my self, you take my self control)
I must believe in something
So I'll make myself believe it (you take my self, you take my self control)
This night will never go

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh...

Oh, the night is my world

Yellocard-Ocean Avenue








There's a place off Ocean Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you
We were both sixteen and it felt so right
Sleepin' all day, stayin' up all night
Stayin' up all night

There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet
We were both eighteen and it felt so right
Sleepin' all day, stayin' up all night
Stayin' up all night

If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away

There's a piece of you that's here with me
It's everywhere I go, it's everything I see
When I sleep, I dream and it gets me by
I can make-believe that you're here tonight
That you're here tonight

If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away

I remember the look in your eyes
When I told you that this was goodbye
You were begging me, not tonight
Not here, not now
We're looking up at the same night sky
And keep pretending the sun will not rise
We'll be together for one more night
Somewhere, somehow

If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away

Suicide Silence-You Must Die









Brittle bones barely holding onto your skin
A body so intricately developed for sin
And all seconds wound but the last one kills

Time!
Devours everything
You will die alone
You will die alone
Around the ones you know
Remember! You must die!

Am I the author of your demise?
You know you fucked up
I'll cut your ties

You will die alone
You will die alone
Around the ones you know
Remember, you must die!

All seconds wound but the last one kills
Fuck your life
Death wish
Death wish

You will die (die)
You must die (die)
I'll take your life (life)
And make it mine

Drinks On Me - Grateful

Trigger warning: SA.
I'm obsessed with this song. It resonates with me a lot and I cried like a baby when I heard it for the first time. Such a powerful song. And Drinks is such an amazing producer/artist, he's very underrated. If you like electronic music check him out!
