The Pretty Reckless — Make Me Wanna Die

Take me, I'm alive
Never was a girl with a wicked mind
But everything looks better when the sun goes down
I had everything
Opportunities for eternity
And I could belong to the night

Your eyes, your eyes
I can see in your eyes, your eyes

You make me wanna die
I'll never be good enough
You make me wanna die
And everything you love
Will burn up in the light
And every time I look inside your eyes
You make me wanna die

Taste me, drink my soul
Show me all the things that I shouldn't know
When there's a new moon on the rise
I had everything
Opportunities for eternity
And I could belong to the night

Your eyes, your eyes
I can see in your eyes, your eyes
Everything in your eyes, your eyes

You make me wanna die
I'll never be good enough
You make me wanna die
And everything you love
Will burn up in the light
Every time I look inside your eyes
You make me wanna die

I would die for you
My love, my love
I would lie for you
My love, my love
And I would steal for you
My love, my love
I would die for you
My love, my love

We'll burn up in the light
Every time I look inside your eyes
Look inside your eyes
I look inside your eyes
You make me wanna die

Helianthi — Jealousy

I am not that jealous, it is just my heart
That's beating too loud, that's beating too much
I can't understand what's in my own head
I'm loosing my mind, my brains getting melt
I don't have a right to feel what I feel
I thought its delusion but it's getting real
It's almost too much, I can't keep in touch
With my real being and my real life

Please, dear lord, don't tear me apart
Please, don't shred my soul, save me from the fall
Save me from these feelings, save from getting low
I want to ride his hips, I'm not in control
Jealousy is killing me
There's no place I'd rather be
Than here on your knees, touches and kiss
You're just like fire that I cannot cease

What do i see in your hazel eyes
That makes me feel like that, that makes me desire
The feelings are burning deep in my chest
They're making me fragile and I can't protest
I can't protest, it is real hell
It's like a hypnosis, it's some kind of spell
I look in your eyes and it's getting quiet
I can't look away, so here goes the pray

Helianthi — Shame

Better looking, better dressed
I'm more anxious, more depressed
Know you better than your friends
Feel you more than anyone else

Put your tongue to better work
Saying things you wouldn't know
Climb a whiplash up your skin
Where you end and I begin

Shame

Don't you dare look at me
With those eyes of sacred shame
I watched you build a temple of your need
And chain yourself to it

I'll build a monster
Out of your sin
To my whim
To my wicked need
Kiss away the pain
Of your own making
So stop your faking

Let you down
To make you believe
Push you deeper
So you know how it feels
On your knees
The shame you keep faking
Is your unmaking

In my armor made of glass
Velvet chains of your disguise
Better future, better past
Someone fed you comfy lies

Someone told you who you were
How to play blind
To ignore
To think yourself a better man
Part of some higher plan

I'll build a monster
Out of your sin
To my whim
To my wicked need
Kiss away the pain
Of your own making
So stop your faking

Let you down
To make you believe
Push you deeper
So you know how it feels
On your knees
The shame you keep faking
It's fading

Beautiful bodies
On the altar of shame
Forever in love
As we slowly decay

So let me show how it feels
Just how ugly
Love truly is

Poppy — negative spaces

At the world, I'm amazed
But you'll never tell by my face
The sentiment is overblown
All the lies are stuck in my throat

(Woah) I fill my skull with nonsense
(Woah) Live an implicated consequence
(Woah) And it's all so negative
I'll pretend that it's not happening

What I love, they're always tryin' to take
And my fury's keepin' me awake
I'm immune to the heartache

I've been living with the dull pain
Am I addicted to despair?
And wasting time I'll never get back?
If there's a Hell, I'll meet you there
I'm in the waiting room

(Woah) I fill my skull with nonsense
(Woah) Live an implicated consequence
(Woah) And it's all so negative
I'll pretend that it's not happening
(Woah) I like what I represent
(Woah) My anger comes at my expense
(Woah) There's always something to be up against
I'll pretend that it's not happening

To me, to us, to everyone, the world
The gods, the dogs, I'm not impressed
But I attest, I say with my whole chest
Every moment's vital and I'm feeling suicidal
But I smile

The Used — Paradise Lost

To whom it may concern
And all the tragic we've been through
No matter where I go
I keep on running into you

Blink of an eye
Feels like forever
Same as it ever was
Same as whatever
Before the yellow fades to blue

I'm shaken
I'm shaken
I'm shaken
I'm shaken

Can't bring myself to cut ties
I know you better than anyone
Blessed with this curse my whole life
Won't let me shake the shadow
Paradise lost in your eyes
I know you better than anyone
Blessed with this curse my whole life
Won't let me shake

I'm shaken
I'm shaken

Found the key but couldn't open the cell
This selfishness was part of saving myself
From you now I hold the disease
Planted the poisonous seed
Tried not to eat from the tree
Will I survive?
It's so hard to tell

I'm shaken
I'm shaken
I'm shaken

Helianthi — No Savior

I don't hold other people's walls anymore,
They crack on their own, I just stand by
I learned by heart the lesson quite hard
You help them once - they'll never be satisfied

I learned how to drown for two,
Breathe for three,
Count to ten whenever I feel like sinking
But somewhere in between
I started to see
There's not so many pieces that are really worth fixing

And suddenly it became so clear
I never was a partner, it's a pattern to stay near
But ahead of a possible break
Bending myself into whatever it takes

Patching the fractures, adjusting the angles
Reading the signals before they were spoken
Carrying weight that was never requested
Calling it love when it felt like a job

'Cause you were not mine to carry
And I can see what you do
I want no more of this cycle
I've been there too
Even deeper than you
And if it falls apart
Let it fall without me

She never was a partner, it was a pity party
She was a child, greedy for devotion
Trading her peace for a drop of emotion
Yeah, she took it from you, but she'd take it from anybody

She learned how to hurt with words,
Anything but words,
Hurt herself whenever she felt the fire
But somewhere in between I realized how to cut the wire
And we both stopped making it worse

Not anymore, not even a few
I am no savior for you
Thank God, no more, not even a few
I am no savior for you

'Cause you were not mine to carry
And I can see what you do
I want no more of this cycle
I've been there too
Even deeper than you
And if it falls apart
Let it fall without me

Helianthi — Ex Friend

Ex friend
I'm asking you to leave
Me alone

Ex friend
Please, leave my life
I wanna live my life
On my own

Let me go
After all, I don't know
What d'you need from me still
It's not just lovers
Who like to keep us around

You're surrounded by the lies
Which I never told,
What a surprise

I've punished myself enough
For both of us

What's your goal
I guess, I've got it all
Completely wrong
It's not just lovers
Who try to leave us behind

What can I say
What will I do
The next time I see you?

So hard not to be
One family
Like we used to

Or is it just me?
Or was it just me?

My Chemical Romance — Teenagers

They're gonna clean up your looks with all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun and keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do
Because the drugs never work, they're gonna give you a smirk
'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip up your heads, your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

They said, "All teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed"
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls in the clique, the awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt, what you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did

They said, "All teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed"
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me, oh, yeah

Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

Helianthi — Hero In Love

Alien beauty, leather boots
Not a cutie,wild in the roots
Got a dusty heart and a neon soul
Out of time and out of control

Ambassador of the major key
Full of laugh, she's a sight to see

Riding high on a whiskey breeze
Bringing men to their shaky knees

She's a hero in love

Chasing sunsets down the 101
Looking for a town she hasn't yet won
Buying breakfast at a liquor store
Living on a prayer, keeps craving more

She's the kind of trouble you wanna keep
Taking every turn, making every leap

I'd take her for my own, but here's the thing
She's the very song that I've come to sing

She's a hero in love
With herself
She's a hero in love
With herself

Helianthi — Empty Words

I know it's always way too late
And always out of fear, and yet
Tonight I write to you again
But now I drop the tired "dear"

Whatever holds our hands together
Is rarely called love
And we both knew that way too well
But never listened
To the ever-screaming
Heart

And I hate
The games
You play
Where you tell yourself
The lies you'd never
Tell somebody else

And I hate
The roles
We play
Where we always get the part
Of somebody but ourselves

I wish I could've held your hand
And pulled you out the deep
But now it's far out of my reach
As you drift into
A lone and peaceful
Sleep

And I hate
The games
You play
Where you tell yourself
The lies you'd never tell somebody else

And I hate
That you and I
Believed
In the fairytale we had seen
On the never-stopping TV reel

And we always wanted more
Than we could ever hold
And it all slipped through
And we were none the wiser to

Hold onto empty words
Hold onto empty words
Hold onto empty words
That we now wish were never told

The words we now see
Meant much more
Than we could ever hold

My Chemical Romance — The Sharpest Lives

Well, it rains and it pours when you're out on your own
If I crash on the couch, can I sleep in my clothes?
'Cause I've spent the night dancing, I'm drunk, I suppose
If it looks like I'm laughing, I'm really just askin' to leave
This alone, you're in time for the show
You're the one that I need, I'm the one that you loathe
You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose
'Cause I love all the poison, away with the boys in the band

I've really been
On a bender, and it shows
So why don't you blow me
A kiss before she goes?

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
Your kiss, and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright, the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

There's a place in the dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo

I've really been
On a bender, and it shows
So why don't you blow me
A kiss before she goes?

Helianthi — 9/5

This is a sign to drop your 9 to 5
Don't let them make you doubt it
Remember when the fire inside was enough
Before you started chasing all this stuff
And now you hate your guts
I know what I'm talking about
So hear me out, you still have time

Your coffee's cold, the screen is way too bright
Youth is traded for a paycheck and a lie
Somebody's talking but you're so far away
Counting hours till the end of day
You attend another meeting that should be a single mail
You feel suffocated, can't see a way out of this jail
You keep staring at your watch, it's stuck at 1:03
Is this all that you're supposed to be?

Monday morning, and you're leaving your spirit behind
Small talk with people you can't even call drunk at night
Fake smiles and plastic cups, losing yourself
Tucking your dreams away on the highest shelf
Afraid to lose stability, scared to fail
What's more acceptable for you: to burn bright or stay safe and pale?
Your current reflection is just a ghost for hire
God, what happened to you? You look so fucking tired!
