"Homage for the Suffering"

Matthew Perryman Jones

 

 

 

 

Here’s to you when the rain hits too hard

When the battles that you fight just leave you scarred

When you’re tired to the bone

And you’ve got no strength to move on

 

Here’s to you when the light has grown too dim

And your faith is just hanging on a limb

And your heart begins to doubt

If you’ll ever make it through

 

Oh, here’s to you

Here’s to you

 

Oh, and anger burns like fire beneath your skin

And you long for love, you won’t let love in

Your arms are folded tight across your chest

And you won’t let go

 

Oh, and fear rolls like thunder in your soul

And all the lies have got you under their control

And your mind is just too confused

To see what is true

 

Oh, here’s to you, here’s to you

Here's to you, here's to you

 

Oh, soon the sun will come with healing in its wings

To wash away your tears and make you new

Here’s to you, here’s to you

Here’s to you

Here’s to you

" All That I'm Living For"

Evanescence

 

https://youtu.be/rJL4Nigr1Ho

 

 

"All That I'm Living For"

 

All that I'm living for,

All that I'm dying for,

All that I can't ignore alone at night.

 

I can feel the night beginning.

Separate me from the living.

Understanding me,

After all I've seen.

Piecing every thought together,

Find the words to make me better.

If I only knew how to pull myself apart.

 

All that I'm living for,

All that I'm dying for,

All that I can't ignore alone at night.

All that I'm wanted for,

Although I wanted more.

Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me.

 

I believe that dreams are sacred.

Take my darkest fears and play them

Like a lullaby,

Like a reason why,

Like a play of my obsessions,

Make me understand the lesson,

So I'll find myself,

So I won't be lost again.

 

All that I'm living for,

All that I'm dying for,

All that I can't ignore alone at night.

All that I'm wanted for,

Although I wanted more.

Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me.

 

Guess I thought I'd have to change the world to make you see me,

To be the one.

I could have run forever,

But how far would I have come

Without mourning your love?

 

All that I'm living for,

All that I'm dying for,

All that I can't ignore alone at night.

All that I'm wanted for,

Although I wanted more.

Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me.

 

Should it hurt to love you?

Should I feel like I do?

Should I lock the last open door,

My ghosts are gaining on me.

" Silence"

Sarah McLachlan

 

 

 

"Silence"

 

Give me release

witness me

I am outside

give me peace

 

Heaven holds a sense of wonder

and I wanted to believe

that I'd get caught up

when the rage in me subsides

 

In this white wave

I am sinking

in this silence

in this white wave

in this silence

I believe

 

Passion chokes the flower

'til she cries no more

possessing all the beauty

hungry still for more

 

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

 

I can't help this longing

comfort me

I can't hold it all in

if you won't let me

 

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

 

In this white wave

I am sinking

in this silence

in this white wave

in this silence

I believe

 

I have seen you

in this white wave

you are silent

you are breathing

in this white wave

I am free

" Breathe"

Through Fire

 

 

 

"Breathe"

 

I fade to black as I search for the light

Can you bring me back from this unconscious life?

Can you show me the way?

I'm lost in the dark

I'm fallin' apart.

Can you unbreak my heart?

 

So I can breathe

Before I suffocate

Before it's all too late,

Before I die this way

 

I need to breathe before I slip away

While there's something left to say

Can you help me?

I need to breathe

 

I hear the angels calling,

Can you send one down?

I see the demons crawling

Everywhere around

 

Can you pull me out from the mess I'm in

Before my lungs collapse and there's no turning back?

 

I need to breathe

Before I suffocate

Before it's all too late,

Before I die this way

 

I need to breathe before I slip away

While there's something left to say

Can you help me?

I need to breathe

I need to breathe!

 

Can you hear me?

I'm screaming

I'm broken down,

I'm bleeding

Help me make it through

I need you

 

I fade to black as I search for the light

Can you bring me back from this unconscious life?

 

Help me breathe

Before I suffocate

Before it's all too late,

Before I die this way

 

I need to breathe before I slip away

While there's something left to say

Can you help me?

 

I need to breathe before I slip away.

Can you rescue me

I need to breathe before it's all too late.

Can you rescue me

I need to breathe before I die this way.

Can you rescue me

I need to breathe, I need to... I need to... I need to...

Can you rescue me

I need to breathe

 

 

❤️

"All That I Am"

Rob Thomas

 

 

 

"All That I Am"

 

I am the one winged bird for flying

Sinking quickly to the ground

See your faith in me subsiding

See you prime for giving in

I give you all that I am

 

I am the sound of love's arriving

Echoed softly on the sand

Lay your head upon my shoulder

Lay your hand within my hand

I give you all that I am

 

And I breathe where you breathe

Let me stand where you stand

With all that I am

 

I am the white dove for a soldier

Ever marching as to war

I would give my life to save you

I stand guarding at your door

I give you all that I am

 

I am the one winged bird for flying

Sinking quickly to the ground

I am the blind man for a watchdog

I am prime for giving in

I'll show you all that I am

 

And I breathe so you breathe

Let me stand so you'll stand

With all that I am

 

 

❤️❤️❤️

"Eyes Wide Open" - Gotye

 

With our eyes wide open, we

With our eyes wide open, we

 

So this is the end of the story

Everything we had, everything we did

Is buried in dust

And this dust is all that's left of us

 

But only a few ever worried

Well the signs were clear, they had no idea

You just get used to living in fear

Or give up when you can't even picture your future

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open

 

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we

Walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we

(x2)

 

Some people offered up answers

We made out like we heard, they were only words

They didn't add up to a change in the way we were living

And the saddest thing is all of it could have been avoided

 

But it was like to stop consuming is to stop being human

And why would I make a change if you won't

We're all in the same boat

Staying afloat for the moment

 

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we

Walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we

(x3)

 

With our eyes wide open

We walk the plank, we walk the plank

With our eyes wide open

We walk the plank, we walk the plank, we walk the plank

With our eyes wide open

We walk the plank, we walk the plank

 

That was the end of the story

"Broken Mirrors" - Sleeping With Sirens 

 

Time is never on our side

It flies, it keeps going, going, going by

Decide how will you live your life

Tonight this is do or, do or, do or die

 

You don't know who you are

Who you really are

 

[CHORUS:]

Broken mirrors on the wall

Hating everything I see

Smash the pieces when they fall

I won't let it bury me

Break the past, let it shatter

Let it fall down at my feet

Broken mirrors on the wall

Reflecting every, every, everything I see

Broken mirrors, broken mirrors

 

Fate, it's a dangerous game

It makes you do crazy, crazy, crazy things

Decide how to live your life

Tonight this is do or, do or, do or die

 

You don't know who you are

Who you really are

 

[CHORUS]

 

Don't be sorry, you've come too far

Do your best, this could be a brand new start

Chase your demons, you'll be free

Make your reflection something for the world to see

 

Broken mirrors on the wall

Hating everything I see

Smash the pieces when they fall

I won't let it bury me

Break the past, let it shatter

Let it fall down at my feet

Broken mirrors on the wall

Reflecting every, every, everything I see

Broken mirrors

 

Smash the pieces

Break the past, let it shatter

Let it fall down at my feet

Broken mirrors on the wall

Reflecting every, every, everything I see

Broken mirrors

Broken mirrors

"Fake Friends"

Joan Jett And The Blackhearts

https://youtu.be/tTDJWZ4WiI0

 

When you were down they were never there

When you're all alone you really get to learn

If you get back up they gonna come around

All the sycophants they love to make romance

To the ugly sound of them telling you

What you wanna hear and you pretend

 

Cause they all agree you're supposed to have a better life

But you're feeling worse

And they build you up till you fool yourself

That you're something else and it's like a curse

Cause you can't live up to what they made of you

And they tell you that you're losing friends

 

Losing friends, losing friends

You've got nothing to lose

You don't lose when you lose fake friends

 

You go and tell them you were king of the hill

When you need a hand, that was yesterday

You see them laugh while you're on your knees

And it breaks your heart cause you gave so much

And you can't believe that you hit the ground

And you notice you've been losing friends

 

Losing friends, losing friends

You've got nothing to lose

You don't lose when you lose fake friends

 

Losing friends, losing friends

You got nothing to lose

You don't lose when you lose fake friends

Fake friends

You got nothing to lose

You don't lose when you lose fake friends

Fake friends

Fake friends

"Free Bird Fly" - Omnia

 

You're in pain

That's why I wrote this song for you

You're insane 

That's why I wrote this song for you

 

You're in pain

Don't you know this song is about you

You're insane

But you know this song is about you

 

Don't you, don't you

Don't you know this song is about you

Don't you, don't you

Don't you know this song is about you

 

Free bird fly

Although you think your wings are broken

Free bird fly

Cause living is more than simply hoping

Free bird fly

There's no excuse, you've got to try now

 

Free bird fly

I know you can do it

Let me see you smile now

Let me see you smile now

Let me see you smile now

Let me see you smile now

 

Though they beat you down

You get up

Though they beat you down

You get up again

And again and again and again and again

And again and again and again and again

 

Free bird fly

Take your broken wings and learn to fly

Free bird fly

Take this broken world and make it right

Free bird fly

 

Take your broken wings and fly

Take this broken world and make it right

Take these broken wings and fly

Take this darkest night and make it bright

Free bird fly

"Heal" - Loreen

https://youtu.be/2hv5nfQv2QQ

 

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/210/524436031_c1345946a0.jpg

 

I'm gonna stay cause you're really tired

More than you've shown

Deep in your eyes

There's no desire burning anymore

 

Cause the will to fight

Gets you slowly dying in the heart of night

How can you survive

When the dimmest light never touched your eyes

 

[CHORUS:]

This time we'll win

Turn around

And say the words that make us heal

And then we will

We will know and nevermore go back to this

 

You gotta give something

Something, something for love

 

I won't deny you your lack of compassion 

Pain is all you've known

Even a life torn up in fire

Shouldn't burn alone

 

Cause the will to fight

Gets you slowly dying in the heart of night

How can you survive

When the dimmest light never touched your eyes

 

[CHORUS]

 

Flying high above and a magic potion

Nothing holding you

So fly away

And when I'm holding you

I only feel devotion

Just let go and let us heal

 

This time we'll win

Turn around

And say the words that make us heal

And then we'll win

We will know and nevermore go back to this

 

You gotta give something

Something, something for love

You gotta give something, something

You gotta give love

"Dear John" - Susanne Sundfør

 

I think that maybe it's time for me to go home soon

I've been traveling around the world just to follow you

Now I know that you're afraid that I might turn away from you

 

The waves are ebbing and flowing

And all the thousand stars will one day stop glowing

The universe is waiting for just another transformation

 

This is the answer I am giving you

I am honest when I say that I love you

But it doesn't matter

It doesn't matter

If I should ever turn away from you

 

I've seen blood on hands of an innocent nation

I've seen endless war and endless desperation

Professors are patiently observing just another generation

 

Oh, this is the answer I am giving you

I am honest when I say that I love you

But it doesn't matter

It doesn't matter

If I should ever turn away from you

"Hand to Hold on To" - John Mellencamp

 

You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends

Spin in the middle when your troubles begin

Take it nice and easy and always pretend

That you're cool, so cool, so cool

 

Say I'm alone and I'm wild and I will not be tamed

Talk like a jerk or an educated brain

Be an old girl driving the young boys insane

Be a joker, a preacher, it does not matter

 

[CHORUS:]

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Don't need to be no strong hand

Don't need to be no rich hand

Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to

 

Having good luck with your financial situation

Play the ponies, be President of the United Nations

Go to work and be a Hollywood stud

Drive your four wheel drive right into the mud

 

[CHORUS]

 

And in those hours when you're alone

And there's nobody there except yourself

I know it you wanna pick up the phone

And say, "Talk to me, talk to me

Somebody please talk to me", yeah

 

Oh yeah, everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Everyone needs a hand to hold on to

Don't need to be no strong hand

Don't need to be no rich hand

(Repeat)

"Starbird"

Manfred Mann's Earth Band

https://youtu.be/BY-EwIsqjNk

 

Starbird

Let your cry lead us all through the night

Rising from the ashes

Your light will show us the way

 

Starbird

You can fly me

Take me everywhere you go

Roaring with the windsong

Burning in your fiery glow

 

Screaming through the darkness

Roaring with the windsong

Starbird

Keep your light shining for all to see

 

Starbird

Let your cry lead us all through the night

Rising from the ashes

Your light will show us the way

"Never Too Late" - Hedley

 

Hoping I can run today

And get away faster than ever from here

Another night and who can say

If leaving is better than living in fear

 

Here's to all the broken hearts tonight

Here's to all the fall-aparts tonight

Here's to every girl and boy who lost their joy

They let it get away

 

[CHORUS:]

You know it's never too late

Get up and start all over again

You know it's never too late

There's got to be a better way

Don't settle for the cold and rain

It's not too late to start again

Find a way to smile and never let it get away

 

It's been too long

And we've been down and out without laughter

No smiling just tears

We're tired of falling down and being such a disaster

We've been here for years

 

Here's to all the broken hearts tonight

Here's to all the fall-aparts tonight

Here's to every girl and boy who lost their joy

They let it get away

 

[CHORUS]

 

I'm gone, I'm gone

There's got to be a better way

I'm gone

 

You know it's never too late

You know it's never too late

You know it's never too late

You know it's never too late

Get up and start all over again

You know it's never too late

There's got to be a better way

I'm gone

"Ocean And A Rock" - Lisa Hannigan

 

 

What you at, my gentle spoken friend

I lack a frame to put you in

When you're an ocean and a rock away

 

I feel you in the pocket of my overcoat

My fingers wrap around your words

And take the shape of games we play

 

I feed your words through my buttonholes

I pin them to my fingerless gloves

They're green and prone to fraying

 

Thoughts of you warm my bones

I'm on the way, I'm on the phone

Let's get lost me and you

An ocean and a rock is nothing to me

 

And I am far away

From where you lay awake the day

While you fall to sleep

An ocean and a rock away

 

I keep you in the pockets of my dresses

And the bristles of my brushes

Pin you into my curls today

 

I spoon you into my coffee cup 

Spin you through a delicate wash

I wear you all day

I wear you all day

 

Thoughts of you, you warm my bones

I'm on the way, I'm on the phone

Let's get lost me and you

An ocean and a rock is nothing to me

 

Thoughts of you, you warm my bones

I'm on the way, I'm nearly home

Let's get lost me and you

An ocean and a rock is nothing to me
