” Game of Survival”

Ruelle

 

 

"Game Of Survival"

 

Who's in your shadows?

Who's ready to play?

Are we the hunters?

Or are we the prey?

There's no surrender

And there's no escape

Are we the hunters?

Or are we the prey?

 

This is a wild game of survival

This is a wild game of survival

 

This is a wild game

This is a wild game, game of survival

This is a wild game

This is a wild game, game of survival

 

This is a wild game of survival

” Broken Arrows”

Daughtry

 

 

 

"Broken Arrows"

 

Hey

Show me one man that's never made mistakes

Oh,

And I'll pay

All of my time and every dime I made

But today

 

The best of intentions I lay at your feet

And I need you to see past the worst part of me

 

I'm tired of taking my aim

When I keep on missing

There's gotta be a better way

Gotta be a better way

 

And every little word I say

Keeps getting twisted

Coming out wrong

So baby hold on

I'm tryin' to hit the mark

But I'm shooting with broken arrows

It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows

 

No

I may not be a saint but I've got a heart of gold

Yeah

Oh, like a telephone

Connection ain't clear

But I hope you hear my soul

You gotta know

 

Yeah

The best of intentions I lay at your feet

And I need you to see past the worst part of me

 

And I'm tired of taking my aim

When I keep on missing

There's gotta be a better way

There's gotta be a better way

 

Seems like every little word I say

Keeps getting twisted

Coming out wrong

So baby hold on

I'm tryin' to hit the mark

But I'm shooting with broken arrows

It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows

It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows (yeah)

It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows

Broken arrows

 

I'm drawing it back now

And the target is you

And I don't know what else I can do, whoa

 

I'm tired of taking my aim

When I keep on missing

There's gotta be a better way

There's gotta be a better way

 

Seems like every little word I say

Keeps getting twisted

Coming out wrong

So baby hold on

I'm trying to hit the mark

But I'm shooting with broken arrows

It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows (yeah)

It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows (yeah)

It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows

Broken arrows... yeah

” Wanderer’s Lullaby”

Adriana Figueroa

 

 

Wanderer’s Lullaby

 

Wandering child of the earth

Do you know just how much you’re worth?

You have walked this path since your birth

You were destined for more

There are those who’ll tell you you’re wrong

They will try to silence your song

But right here is where you belong

So don’t search anymore

You are the dawn of a new day that’s waking

A masterpiece still in the making

The blue in an ocean of grey

You are right where you need to be

Poised to inspire and to succeed

You’ll look back and you’ll realize one day

In your eyes there is doubt

As you try to figure it out

But that’s not what life is about

So have faith there’s a way

Though the world may try to define you

It can’t take the light that’s inside you

So don’t you dare try to hide

Let your fears fade away

You are the dawn of a new day that’s waking

A masterpiece still in the making

The blue in an ocean of grey

You are right where you need to be

Poised to inspire and to succeed

You’ll look back and you’ll realize one day

You are the dawn of a new day that’s waking

A masterpiece still in the making

The blue in an ocean of grey

You are right where you need to be

Poised to inspire and to succeed

Soon you’ll finally find your own way

 

❤️❤️❤️

” Keeping Your Head Up”

Birdy

 

 

"Keeping Your Head Up"

 

Times that I've seen you lose your way

You're not in control and you won't be told

All I can do to keep you safe is hold you close

Hold you close til you can breathe on your own

Til you can breathe on your own

 

Hold tight; you're slowly coming back to life

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Hold tight; you're slowly coming back to life

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up

And I won't let you down

 

Everyone keeps a darker place

To lose control, you're not alone

And when you come looking for embrace

I know your soul; I'll be your home

Til you can breathe on your own

Til you can breathe on your own

 

Hold tight; you're slowly coming back to life

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Hold tight; you're slowly coming back to life

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up

And I won't let you down

 

You never think that you can fly

You'll always swim against the tide

Don't you know your pain is mine?

And I would die a thousand times to ease your mind

To ease your mind

 

Hold tight; you're slowly coming back to life

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Hold tight; you're slowly coming back to life

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up

And I won't let you down

 

 

❤️❤️❤️

"Blackbird Song" - Lee DeWyze

 

Pack your things

Leave somehow

Blackbird song

Is over now

 

Mouths are dry

River runs

Hands are tied

Preacher's son

 

Pack your things

Leave somehow

Blackbird song

Is over now

 

Don't be scared

I'm still here

No more time

For crying, dear

"Seven Years Gone" - Richie Sambora

https://youtu.be/5O8tBKjk-yw

 

Another change of season

Slipping through my life

I can't recall believing

That I'd make it here alive

 

A steady wind is blowing

The clouds don't look the same

You can't deny the thunder

When you're living through the rain

 

Like a moth dances with the light

Sometimes a shadow burns too bright

A shattered silence in the night

You wake up, move on

You're seven years gone

Seven years gone

 

Hung up cold and reeling

And wounded deep inside

Can't find a road to healing

When you're blinded by your pride

 

The hour glass is broken

Sand is slipping through your hands

While you're chasing what's been stolen

Change is making, making other plans

 

Like the moth dances with the light

Sometimes a shadow burns too bright

A shattered silence in the night

You wake up, move on

 

Time's a train traveling way too fast

Tearing moments from the past

While today's singing yesterday's song

You grow up, move on

You're seven years gone

 

Time, time

Time, time ticking

Time, time ticking away

But that's life

It's all about living

Taking it day by day

 

Flying blind, leave it behind

Singing a different song

One day you're waking up

You're seven years

Seven years gone

 

Like a moth dances with the light

Sometimes a shadow burns too bright

A shattered silence in the night

You wake up, move on

 

Time's a train traveling way too fast

Tearing moments from the past

While today's singing yesterday's song

Growing up, holding on

You're seven years gone

 

Seven years gone

Seven years gone

Seven years gone

"Ready To Question" - Gabrielle Aplin

 

Is there something I'm not seeing

Something you're not telling me

Cause I've been hearing different stories

I don't know what to believe

 

Is there a reason I'm not healing

Or am I learning from this pain

I have a little trouble kneeling

I don't know what to believe

 

I'm ready to question

Life is a blessing

Give me a sign

Am I following blind

Is there anyone listening

Is there anyone listening

I don't know

 

See I've seen devils I've seen saints

I've seen the lines between them fade

I've seen pictures with no meaning

I don't know what to believe

 

[CHORUS]

 

Does there have to be someone telling me

This time wrong feels rights

 

I'm ready to question

Life is a blessing

Give me a sign am I following blind

Is there any one listening

 

I'm ready to question

Life is a blessing

Give me a sign

Am I following blind

Is there anyone listening

I don't know

"We Are Not Helpless" - Stephen Stills

https://youtu.be/cBZfsIAZk30

 

We are not helpless

We are men

What lies between us

It can be set aside and ended

 

Every day we learn more how to hate

Shut the door

And then we tell ourselves we can't relate

Only to the ones who are the same

Yet even they are different

And ever so they shall remain

 

All are strangers

All are friends

All are brothers

 

Open up, my friend, and learn to hear

For even lying

Well, it has nothing you should fear

If you cannot let yourself be known

By anyone

Then you are hiding and not whole

 

All are strangers

All are friends

All are brothers

 

We, your children, we would ask you all

Please do not hide your eyes

And listen when we call

We will whisper, shout, or make a scene

We are the answer

For we can live the peace we dream

 

All are strangers

All are friends

All are brothers

 

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Yes, America's children

Are asking everybody some questions

About how it is

Yes, America's children

Are making it hard to look them in the eyes

America's children

Are making it hard to live lies

America's children are digging

That everywhere children are digging

We live on the earth

We live on the earth

We live on the earth right now

Yes, and it's right on, children of the earth

And it's right on, children of the earth

And it's right on, children of the earth

And it's right on

Right on, yeah

 

This is what has made our nation free

For life is change

And only blind men cannot see

The new order is upon us now

It is the children

That have the wisdom to be free

 

All are strangers

All are friends

All are brothers

"The World Without" - A Fine Frenzy

 

5298304617_07a8476eb5.jpg

 

It must be written that the moon

Elbowed the stars and said

"Let's do our best to make it hard for them"

 

Your house turned into paper cranes

We watched the wind blow them away

Some sorry comfort I was then

 

The weight of a mountain

The skin off your knees

From climbing up to me

 

We can work this out

I believe

Although it seems impossible

:hug:

 

They turned our skeletons to wood

And scattered matches underfoot

We must walk carefully in place

 

The circles darken around our eyes

And yet our bodies when combined

They gleam like diamonds in a cave

 

The weight of a mountain

The skin off your knees

From climbing back to me

 

We can work this out

I believe

Although it seems impossible now

Keep the world without

 

Only the two of us count

Two voices loud

It is possible now

They'll try to tear us down

But we'll find our way again

:-*

 

And Heloise gave her whole heart to Pete

Now eternally sleeps by his side

Oh, go ahead, fate, oh, give us your best

What is worth living for is worth a fight

Into the night

 

We can work this out

I believe

Although it seems impossible now

Yeah, without a doubt

We'll work it out

They can't hurt us now

On my knees

It makes me want to scream and shout

 

Yeah, we'll work this out

Just the two of us now

Keep the world without

”Up In The Sky”

Kaleo

 

 

"Up In The Sky"

 

Sweet karma

Shivers white and gray

All way out

Must be better now

Waves in motion

Take me under

Blind so blind

Where she gonna find

 

Better mind [x3]

Oh if you're so kind

Better mind, mind

Better mind, whoa yeah

 

Oh the world outside is raging

Made nothing of it

Oh sweet god

Those were better times

Won't you come down

From your dark cloud

Oh and help me find, find a better mind

 

Better mind, mind

Better mind ohhh

'Cause your head is up in the sky

 

And you take down your armor

And look up to the sky

But you don't have the courage

To give yourself the gun

 

Never mind, mind

Never mind, ohhh

Never mind, mind

Better mind,

Oh lord, you are a sucker

'Cause your head is up in the sky

I said your head is up in the sky

 

All, all I need,

Quietly she sings

Bright as the moonlight

I'm bound to change the game

Happiness

It's just a change in me

Something in my liberty

Oh, my, my

Happiness

Coming and going

I watch you look at me

Watch my fever growing

But how many corners do I have to turn?

How many times do I have to learn

All the love I have is in my mind?

 

Well, I'm a lucky man

I'm standing naked

Smiling, I feel no disgrace

With who I am

” Long Time Gone”

Crosby Stills & Nash

 

https://youtu.be/2DUqplxIcNk

 

 

 

"Long Time Gone"

 

 

It's been a long time comin'

It's goin' to be a long time gone

 

And it appears to be a long

Appears to be a long

Appears to be a long time

Yes, a long, long, long, long time before the dawn

 

Turn turn any corner

Hear you must hear what the people say

You know there's something that's goin' on around here

The surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day, no

 

And it appears to be a long

Appears to be a long, mmm

Appears to be a long time

Such a long, long time before the dawn

 

Speak out you got to speak out against the madness

You got to speak your mind if you dare

But don't, no don't, no, try to get yourself elected

If you do you had better cut your hair, mmm

 

And it appears to be a long

Appears to be a long, mmm

Appears to be a long time

Such a long, long, long, long time before the dawn

 

It's been a long time comin' (Long time comin')

It's goin' to be a long time gone (Long time gone)

 

But you know

The darkest hour

Is always, always just before the dawn

 

And it appears to be a long

Appears to be a long

Appears to be a long time

Such a long, long, long, long time before the dawn

” My Sweet Refuge”

Roo Panes

 

https://youtu.be/rbp0GEb5w3g

 

"My Sweet Refuge"

 

I don't think You want grand gestures

Just a simple faithful friend

Someone who will walk it with You

All the way to the end

Someone who can live and love You

Singing how I've come to know

 

You're like the sun that gives

The moon its glow

 

You're my, oh, You are my

My sweet refuge

You're my, oh, You are my

My sweet refuge

And I know the wolves keep circling

But we'll leave them chasing tails

'Cause You're my, oh, You are my

My sweet refuge

 

So I kiss farewell to drama

My everything is You

And after all the things that You've done

Oh, Your love's been proved

I'm not going back there

No, I've come to know

 

You're like the sun that gives

The moon its glow

 

You're my, oh, You are my

My sweet refuge

You're my, oh, You are my

My sweet refuge

And I know the wolves keep circling

But I'll be safe with You

'Cause You're my, oh, You are my

My sweet refuge

 

I need You, I need You

I need You, I need You

I need You

Lord, every day

I need You, I need You

I need You, I need You

I need You

 

You're my, oh, You are my

My sweet refuge

You're my, oh, You are my

My sweet refuge

And I know the wolves are circling

But I'll be safe with You

'Cause You're my, oh, You are my

My sweet refuge

 

 

Sweet refuge

My sweet refuge

Buffalo Tom - Sunday Night

 

 

Sunday night and now I know

How the night can pass slow

All kinds of ugly outside that's right

And I'm all alone tonight

Distant highway din

Leaky roof my doubt drips in

And as the streetlights and my prospects dim

She turns in bed and thinks of him

Where's the solace you can find?

Is it at the bottom of your mind?

My friends pushed me from behind

I feel so empty I could die

A ladder to the edge

Hangover throbs inside my head

And all the stupid things I've ever said

Now make me wish that I was dead

It's nighttime, Greenwich Mean time

A man puts on a detour sign

And the waterfalls of regret

Unleash in a torrent of cold sweat

Buffalo Tom - The Bus

 

 

Walked home in the rain today

Took the subway train today

Went to my room, listened to Billie Holiday

Stared down to broadway

Took the bus home today

Had a staring contest with a guy I did not know today

Out stared everyone on the bus today

Took it home to Broadway

I don't care if you don't understand

I will be there anyway

Just found out what to be today

See it through

I don't care if you don't understand

I will be there anyway

Just found out what to be today

See it through

Gin Blossoms - Lost Horizons

 

 

The last horizons I can see

Are filled with bars and factories

And in them all we fight to stay awake

 

Drink enough of anything

To make this world look new again

Drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and the graves

 

She had nothing left to say

So she said she loved me

I stood there grateful for the lie

 

Drink enough of anything

To make this girl look new again

Drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and the graves

 

Turn summer trees to bones and ice

Turn insect songs against the night

With words we build and words we break

I'm drunk, drunk, drunk in the gardens and the graves

 

Maybe I could use you to reassure myself

I wouldn't wish this indecision on anybody else

 

Drink enough of anything to make this world look new again

And when the sin smiles, how could it be wrong?

 

The last horizons I can see

Are now resigned to memories

I never thought I'd still be here today

 

Drink enough of anything

To make myself look new again

Drunk, drunk, drunk, in the gardens and the graves

Congrats on the anniversary, abcd. :)

 

It sure is amazing how quickly one gets used to sniffling at the back of the bus.  :-\

"But, life is not fair!"

"At least, it should not have been THAT bus!"

"I was always afraid of those OTHER busses!"

"Well, even if it is THAT bus, why THAT long?"

"Ok, but even if I have to be here, where did my friends go?"  ???

{Pulls out magic wands, brings the old friends back}

 

It's the Halloween's fault. Children should never get candy from strangers, anyway.
