Poe {{ Haunted }}

[notdreaming]

Haunted Come here, pretty please Can you tell me where I am? You, won't you say something? I need to get my bearings I'm lost and the shadows keep on changing And I'm haunted By the lives that I have loved And actions I have hated I'm haunted By the lies that wove the web Inside my haunted head Don't cry, there's always a way Here in November In this house of leaves we'll pray Please, I know it's hard to believe To see a perfect forest Through so many splintered trees You and me and these shadows keep on changing And I'm haunted By the lives that I have loved And actions I have hated I'm haunted By the promises I've made And others I have broken I'm haunted By the lies that wove the web Inside my haunted head Hallways, always I'll always want you I'll always need you I'll always love you And I will always miss you Come here, no, I won't say please One more look at the ghost Before I'm gonna make it leave Come here, I've got the pieces here Time to gather up the splinters Build a casket for my tears I'm haunted (By the lives that I have loved) I'm haun, I'm haunted By the hallways in this tiny room The echoes there of me and you The voices that are carrying this tune

Yael Naim {{ New Soul }}

[notdreaming]

New Soul I'm a new soul I came to this strange world Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take. But since I came here Felt the joy and the fear Finding myself making every possible mistake I'm a young soul in this very strange world Hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake. But why all this hate? Try to communicate Finding trust and love is not always easy to make. This is a happy end Cause' you don't understand Everything you have done Why's everything so wrong This is a happy end Come and give me your hand I'll take your far away. I'm a new soul I came to this strange world Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take But since I came here Felt the joy and the fear Finding myself making every possible mistake

Garbage {{ Big Bright World }}

[notdreaming]

Big Bright World We are difficult to understand It was hard to make this simple plan work Difficult, but that’s what made it burn You’re a satellite around my heart One million before the start Indescribable, but that’s what makes it you Shivers up and down my spine Feet to the teeth Inside this big, bright world Inside this big, bright world Inside this big, bright world We rage against the dying Rage against the dying light You’re mysterious, you make no sense I love you ’cause you’re innocent You fell out through a hole inside the sun So magnify the best inside me Build the parts that you can’t find me The parts that won’t give out when things get hard Shivers up and down my spine Feet to the teeth Inside this big, bright world Inside this big, bright world Inside this big, bright world Round and around in the setting sun Round and around in the setting sun Round and around in the setting sun Round and around and around and around and around Inside this big, bright world Inside this big, bright world Inside this big, bright world Rage against the dying Rage against the dying light I’m with you [x8]

Crowded House {{ Don't Dream It's Over }}

[notdreaming]

Don't Dream It's Over There is freedom within, there is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost But you'll never see the end of the road While you're traveling with me Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof In the paper today, tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the TV page Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart Only shadows ahead, barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and release Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win Well, don't let them win Hey now, hey now Don't let them win Don't let them win, yeah

Regina Spektor {{ Us }}

[notdreaming]

Us They made a statue of us And it put it on a mountain top Now tourists come and stare at us Blow bubbles with their gum Take photographs have fun, have fun They'll name a city after us And later say it's all our fault Then they'll give us a talking to Then they'll give us a talking to Because they've got years of experience We're living in a den of thieves Rummaging for answers in the pages We're living in a den of thieves And it's contagious [x4] We wear our scarves just like a noose But not 'cause we want eternal sleep And though our parts are slightly used New ones are slave labor you can keep We're living in a den of thieves Rummaging for answers in the pages We're living in a den of thieves And it's contagious [x4] They made a statue of us They made a statue of us The tourists come and stare at us The sculptor's marble sends regards They made a statue of us They made a statue of us Our noses have begun to rust We're living in a den of thieves Rummaging for answers in the pages Were living in a den of thieves And it's contagious [x8]

P!nk {{ Lonely Girl }}

[notdreaming]

Lonely Girl I can remember the very first time I cried How I wiped my eyes and buried the pain inside All of my memories - good and bad - that's past Didn't even take the time to realize Starin' at the cracks in the walls Cuz I'm waiting for it all to come to an end Still I curl up right under the bed Cuz its takin' over my head all over again Do you even know who you are? I guess I'm tryin' to find A borrowed dream or a superstar? I want to be a star Is life good to you or is it bad? I can't tell anymore Do you even know what you have? Lyin' awake watchin' the sunlight How the birds will sing as I count the rings around my eyes Constantly pushing the world I know aside I don't even feel the pain, I don't even want to try I'm lookin' for a way to become The person that I dreamt of when I was sixteen Oh, nothin' is ever enough Ooh, baby, it ain't enough for what it may seem Do you even know who you are? I'm still tryin' to find A borrowed dream or a superstar? Everybody wants to be Is life good to you or is it bad? I can't tell anymore Do you even know what you have? No Sorry girl, tell a tale for me Cuz I'm wondering how you really feel I'm a lonely girl, I'll tell a tale for you Cuz I'm just tryin' to make all my dreams come true Do you even know who you are? Oh, yeah, yeah A borrowed dream or a superstar? Oh, I wanted to be a star Is life good to you or is it bad? I can't tell, I can't tell anymore Do you even know what you have? I guess not, oh I guess not Do you even know who you are? Oh, I'm tryin' to find A rising dream or a superstar? Oh, I have a all these dreams Is life good to you or is it bad? I can't tell anymore Do you even know what you have? No, no Do you even know what you are? A rising dream or a fallen star? Is life good to you or is it bad?

Fun. {{ Some Nights }}

[notdreaming]

Some Nights Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck Some nights I call it a draw Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle Some nights I wish they'd just fall off But I still wake up, I still see your ghost Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?) Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?) Most nights I don't know anymore... Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh, Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for? Why don't we break the rules already? I was never one to believe the hype Save that for the black and white I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, But here they come again to jack my style That's alright (that's alright) I found a martyr in my bed tonight She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am Oh, who am I? Mmm... Mmm... Well, some nights I wish that this all would end 'Cause I could use some friends for a change. And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again Some nights I always win, I always win... But I still wake up, I still see your ghost Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?) Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?) Most nights I don't know... (oh, come on) So this is it. I sold my soul for this? Washed my hands of that for this? I miss my mom and dad for this? (Come on) No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on! Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun? My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love" When I look into my nephew's eyes... Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from... Some terrible nights... ah... Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh, Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me I called you up but we'd both agree It's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we get our distance... Oh... It's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...
