That's Okay, The Hush Sound



You were the child

Who was made out of glass

Who carried a black heart

Passed down from your dad

If somebody loved you,

They'd tell you by now

We all turn away when you're down



You want to go back

To where you felt safe

To hear your brother's laughter

See your mother's face

Your childhood home

Is just powder white bone

And you'll never find

You're way back



And when you're gone

Will they say your name?

And when you're gone

Will they love you the same?

If not, that's okay

If not, that's okay



You are broken and callow

Cautious and safe

You are boundless in beauty

With fright in your face

Until someone loves you,

I'll keep you safe

But like then,

I will give you away



And when you're gone

Will they say your name?

And when you're gone

Will they love you the same?

If not, that's okay

If not, that's okay



Oh,

When you're gone

We won't say a word

But you know,

That's okay

Don't you know

That's okay (less)

I Will Follow You Into The Dark, Death Cab For Cutie



Love of mine, someday you will die

But I'll be close behind and I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white

Just our hands clasped so tight, waiting for the hint of a spark



If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied

And illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks

Then I will follow you into the dark



In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule

I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black

And I held my tongue as she told me,

Son, fear is the heart of love, so I never went back



You and me we've seen everything to see

From Bangkok to Calgary and the soles of your shoes

Are all worn down

The time for sleep is now

But it's nothing to cry about

'Cause we'll hold each other soon in the blackest of rooms



If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied

And illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks

Then I will follow you into the dark (less)

Happy Phantom, Tori Amos



And if I die today I'll be the happy phantom

And I'll go chasing the nuns out in the yard

And I'll run naked through the streets without my mask on

And I will never need umbrellas in the rain

I'll wake up in Strawberry Fields every day

And the atrocities of school I can forgive

The happy phantom has no right to bitch



Ooo, the time is getting closer

Ooo, time to be a ghost

Ooo, every day we're getting closer

The sun is getting dim

Will we pay for who we been



So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom

And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel

They'll be my ticket to the universal opera

There's Judy Garland taking Buddha by the hand

And then these seven little men get up to dance

They say Confucius does his crossword with a pen

I'm still an angel to a girl who hates to sin



Ooo, the time is getting closer

Ooo, time to be a ghost

Ooo, every day we're getting closer

The sun is getting dim

Will we pay for who we been



Or will I see you dear and wish I could come back

You found a girl that you could truly love again

Will you still call for me when she falls asleep

Or do we soon forget the things we cannot see



Ooo, the time is getting closer

Ooo, time to be a ghost

Ooo, every day we're getting closer

The sun is getting dim

Will we pay for who we been



And if I die today, and if I die today

And if I die today, and if I die today

And I'll go chasin' the nuns out in the yard (less)

Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen



Now I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to a kitchen chair

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



Baby I have been here before

I know this room, I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

Love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



There was a time you let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show it to me, do you?

And remember when I moved in you

The holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



Maybe there's a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you

And it's not a cry that you hear at night

It's not somebody who's seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you

And even though it all went wrong

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Black Acres, Elysian Fields



Whirlwind

Take me there

Where I will be

His lady fair

Sheets of night

Hiding us

Gusts of wind

Riding us



I'm blown away

Into his hands

I'm weak and high

Can barely stand

In the web

Of dizzy leaves

Virgins all

Elude the trees



Touch me now

Touch me

The black acres are claiming me

They're claiming me



He holds me up

Like a babe

Pressing close

I can't behave

I need to have

This little death

I'm up against

His downy chest



In the web

Of dizzy leaves

Virgins all

Elude the trees

The chill is flush

With burning flesh

It's so refined

This little death



Touch me now

Touch me

The black acres are claiming me

They're claiming me

Black acres



I'm running

Away from home

Black acres

And the wind

The wind is blowin'

Black acres

And the weathervane

Its heathen song

Lulls the world

With silver tongue (less)

The Rain Within Her Hands, Bella Morte



Here shadows move of their own will

Through the twilight

I call the nameless place my home

And castles fall into the past for you



Tonight find the starlit rain within her hands

As sand suffocates beneath the seas again

Nights such as this may find us here but once

So throw dreams away and never wish again



Reflections shatter in my grip

My body shivers

With energy that can believe

I struggle in your presence though you

May not see

I care for everything you are



Tonight find the starlit rain within her hands

As sand suffocates beneath the seas again

Nights such as this may find us here but once

So throw dreams away and never wish again

Never wish again



The palest nights are yours

May they stand against the storm

May they live within you



Tonight find the starlit rain within her hands

As sand suffocates beneath the seas again

Nights such as this may find us here but once

So throw dreams away and never wish again (less)

Take Me To Church, Hozier



My lover's got humor

She's the giggle at a funeral

Knows everybody's disapproval

I should've worshipped her sooner

If the Heavens ever did speak

She is the last true mouthpiece

Every Sunday's getting more bleak

A fresh poison each week



"We were born sick", you heard them say it

My church offers no absolutes

She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'

The only heaven I'll be sent to

Is when I'm alone with you



I was born sick, but I love it

Command me to be well

Amen, Amen, Amen



Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life



If I'm a pagan of the good times

My lover's the sunlight

To keep the Goddess on my side

She demands a sacrifice

To drain the whole sea

Get something shiny

Something meaty for the main course

That's a fine looking high horse

What you got in the stable?

We've a lot of starving faithful



That looks tasty

That looks plenty

This is hungry work



Take me to church

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife

Offer me that deathless death

Good God, let me give you my life



No masters or kings when the ritual begins

There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene

Only then I am human

Only then I am clean

Amen, Amen, Amen

Hopeless Wanderer, Mumford & Sons



You heard my voice

I came out of the woods by choice

Shelter also gave their shade

But in the dark I have no name



So leave that click in my head

And I will remember the words that you said

Left a clouded mind and a heavy heart

But I am sure we could see a new start



So when your hopes on fire

But you know your desire

Don't hold a glass over the flame

Don't let your heart grow cold

I will call you by name

I will share your road



But hold me fast, hold me fast

'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer

And hold me fast, hold me fast

'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer



I wrestled long with my youth

We tried so hard to live in the truth

But do not tell me all is fine

When I lose my head, I lose my spine



So leave that click in my head

And I won't remember the words that you said

You brought me out from the cold

Now, how I long, how I long to grow old



So when your hope's on fire

But you know your desire

Don't hold a glass over the flame

Don't let your heart grow cold

I will call you by name

I will share your road



But hold me fast, hold me fast

'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer

And hold me fast, hold me fast

'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer



I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under

And I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under

Tribulation Hymn, Parker Millsap



It was just like the lightning

That flashes east to west

Just like an oncoming storm

It was just like a coffin

The hollow in my chest

Just like the bible

Just like I'd been warned



I was tending the garden

Pulling up the weeds

Trying to bear righteous fruit

But a man's fertile soil

Where Satan sows his seed

He will plow up your garden

And plant a poison root



He came for my sister

She walked the narrow trail

She'd follow wherever he'd lead

But I took the highway

I faltered and I fell

He came for my sister

But he did not come for me



Now I kneel at the altar

A church of vacant pews

In the rafters a chorus of crows

They sing like a hymnal of rusted organ tunes

They sing like the broken heart of one who knows (less)

The Cave, Mumford & Sons



It's empty in the valley of your heart

The sun, it rises slowly as you walk

Away from all the fears

And all the faults you've left behind



The harvest left no food for you to eat

You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see

But I have seen the same

I know the shame in your defeat



But I will hold on hope

And I won't let you choke

On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain

And I will change my ways

I'll know my name as it's called again



Cause I have other things to fill my time

You take what is yours and I'll take mine

Now let me at the truth

Which will refresh my broken mind



So tie me to a post and block my ears

I can see widows and orphans through my tears

I know my call despite my faults

And despite my growing fears



But I will hold on hope

And I won't let you choke

On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain

And I will change my ways

I'll know my name as it's called again



So come out of your cave walking on your hands

And see the world hanging upside down

You can understand dependence

When you know the maker's hand



So make your siren's call

And sing all you want

I will not hear what you have to say



Cause I need freedom now

And I need to know how

To live my life as it's meant to be



And I will hold on hope

And I won't let you choke

On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain

And I will change my ways

I'll know my name as it's called again (less)

Anywhere I Lay My Head, Tom Waits



My head is spinning round

My heart is in my shoes, yeah

I went and set the Thames on fire, oh

Now I must come back down



She's laughing in her sleeve, boys

I can feel it in my bones

Oh, but anywhere, anywhere I'm gonna lay my head

Oh, I'm gonna call my home



Well, I see that the world is upside-down

Seems that my pockets were filled up with gold

And now the clouds, they've covered everything over

And the wind is blowing cold



Well, I don't need anybody

Because I learned, I learned to be alone

I said anywhere, anywhere, anywhere I lay my head

I'm gonna call my home (less)

Mad Tom of Bedlam, Jolie Holland



To see Mad Tom of Bedlam

Ten thousand miles I've travelled

Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes

For to save her shoes from gravel



It's well that we sing bonney boys

Bonney mad boys

Bedlam boys are bonney

For they all go bare, and they live in the air

And they want no drink nor money



I went down to Satan's Kitchen

For to break my fast one morning

And there I got souls piping hot

All on the spit a-turning



It's well that we sing bonney boys

Bonney mad boys

Bedlam boys are bonney

For they all go bare, and they live in the air

And they want no drink nor money



A spirit howled as lightning

Did on that journey guide me

The sun did shake and the pale moon quake

Whenever they did spy me



It's well that we sing bonney boys

Bonney mad boys

Bedlam boys are bonney

For they all go bare, and they live in the air

And they want no drink nor money



My staff has murdered giants

And my pack a long knife carries

For to slice mince pies from children's thighs,

From which to feed the faeries



It's well that we sing bonney boys

Bonney mad boys

Bedlam boys are bonney

For they all go bare, and they live in the air

And they want no drink nor money



Tonight I'll go a-murdering

The man in the moon to a powder

His dog I'll shake and his staff I'll break

And I'll howl a wee bit louder



It's well that we sing bonney boys

Wine Red, The Hush Sound



Who shot that arrow in your throat

Who missed the crimson apple

It hung heavy on the tree above your head



This chaos, this calamity

This garden once was perfect

Give your immortality to me

I'll set you up against the stars



Gloria,

We lied, we can't go on

This is the time and this is the place to be alive



Who shot that arrow in your throat?

Who missed the crimson apple?

And there is discord in the garden tonight



The sea is wine red

This is the death of beauty

The doves have died

The lovers have lied



I cut the arrow from your neck

Stretched you beneath the tree

Among the roots and baby's breath

I covered us with silver leaves



Gloria,

We lied, we can't go on

This is the time and this is the place to be alive

Our Lies, Rasputina



Actually, I was never conceived

And I don't expect to be believed

But I've found my mouth stitched shut with glossy pink thread

And when I think of the lie filled love-life that I've led



I row boats all day with Karl, Vlad, and E. Leon

My tongue made of ivory, my teeth are all gone

The bones in my face weren't here all along

I'm straight and I love your coffee cake



I found a lost puppy and I took him home

Since then he's agreed to leave me alone

For over a month 'cause I'm spelling bee queen

Let me tell you more, you'll see what I mean



I took a sea lion by the waist and I twisted it

Then I kiss-ed it. It was mossy and chaste

That is funny, isn't it

Not to tell you would be such a waste



Can't you see me?

I am your long lost best friend

Please believe me

All these things have happened



I went for a ride on the carousel

I was on a yellow horse, right behind the swan

In the swan, a man and a woman they were doing it

I didn't want to look. I wished I'd brought a book



I looked down at the chip in my horse's red mane

He had a high, soft, beautiful voice

I got down and ran around, and then I asked him his name

He said out loud, he said it was "First Choice"



Yes Mom, I'm still a virgin

And you are Marilyn Monroe

When I was a little girl, we grew wings and flew under the sea

To see my daddy, Mr. Edgar Allen Poe



Oh, I would crawl into the furnace to take a warm nap

On the cast-iron lap of Walt Disney

Then we'd go out for a swim in the Sea of Mercury

I never thanked him for what he did for me



Can't you see me?

I am your long lost best friend

Winter Song, Sara Bareilles & Ingrid Michaelson



This is my winter song to you

The storm is coming soon

It rolls in from the sea

My voice a beacon in the night

My words will be your light

To carry you to me



Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?



They say that things just cannot grow

Beneath the winter snow

Or so I have been told

They say we're buried far

Just like a distant star

I simply cannot hold



Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?



This is my winter song

December never felt so wrong

'Cause you're not where you belong

Inside my arms



I still believe in summer days

The seasons always change

And life will find a way

I'll be your harvester of light

And send it out tonight

So we can start again



Is love alive?

Is love alive?

Is love alive?



This is my winter song

December never felt so wrong

You Are The Moon, The Hush Sound



Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark

Emerging from the gentle grip of night's unfolding arms

Darkness, darkness everywhere, do you feel all alone?

The subtle grace of gravity, the heavy weight of stone



You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear

It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier

All the light that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas

The shattered surface, so imperfect, is all that you believe



I will bring a mirror, so silver, so exact

So precise and so pristine, a perfect pane of glass

I will set the mirror up to face the blackened sky

So you can see your beauty every moment that you rise (less)

Who By Fire, Leonard Cohen



And who by fire, who by water

Who in the sunshine, who in the night time

Who by high ordeal, who by common trial

Who in your merry merry month of May

Who by very slow decay

And who shall I say is calling?



And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate

Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt

And who by avalanche, who by powder

Who for his greed, who for his hunger

And who shall I say is calling?



And who by brave assent, who by accident

Who in solitude, who in this mirror

Who by his lady's command, who by his own hand

Who in mortal chains, who in power

And who shall I say is calling? (less)
