Third Engine by Saves The Day
Did you know, my sweet
That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep?
I rolled over and over
Trying to touch your knees underneath the sheets

One More Night by Stars
He starts with her back ‘cause that’s what he sees
When she’s breaking his heart she still fucks like a tease
Release to the sky, look him straight in the eye
And tell him that now, that you wish he would die

We Give Up Sometimes by Name Taken
Hold your breath
You know how long
Do what you can
To forget you were wrong

She Took Him To The Lake by Alkaline Trio
When it seems so right and it feels so right. man, it had to be right.
But then she went away and she’s not coming back.
And i’m pretty sure that boy is staying in tonight.

The Good Life by Weezer
And I don’t wanna be an old man anymore
It’s been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
It’s time I got back to the good life
It’s time I got back, it’s time I got back
And I don’t even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah!

Mama, I’m Satan by Cursive
I’ll drag you out
I’ll drive you out
I’ll drug you out
I’ll tear you out
I’ll cut you out
I’ll kick you out
I’ll push you out
I’ll pull you out
I cast you out
I’ll curse you out
I’ll shut you out
I’ll shit you out
I’ll clean you out
Grab a rope and hang you out to dry
Now I’ll damn you out
I cast you out
I’ll shove you out
I’m staying
All in all we’re pawns
The darkness of mankind stirs in us all

If You Had A Bad Time by Alkaline Trio
Just some words of advice maybe you’ve heard them before but here goes Just be true to yourself if it lands you in hell, well, at least now you know Loud and clear is your heart big and bright are the places you might someday go With one million things holding you down, why you’re one of those things I don’t know, no big deal gotta go
These lyrics are words to live by…..

Another Innocent Girl by Alkaline Trio
He likes to act like he’s all grown up
He wanted to grow up to be an actor
But he never told anybody
He likes to spill all of his guts
On the top of a well stocked bar
And then swallow them bit by bit remembering every scar
Is a valid reason for every drink
And a new tattoo is a new reason to think
He likes to pretend that he’s all sewn up
It makes for a much stronger case
But there’s blood underneath that skin
That scar’s not so easy to erase
He walks with a glass cane now
He’s careful when holding his body up straight
Can’t go outside anymore when it’s raining
Can’t smash up that beautiful face
Another innocent girl just made his list
That self pity shit is just too hard too resist
Yeah, when we get home you’ll see
That this part of him is now part of me
He likes to act like he’s all grown up
He wanted to grow up to be an actor
But he never told anybody
He likes to spill all of his guts
On the top of a well stocked bar
And then swallow them bit by bit remembering every scar
Is a valid reason for stronger drinks
And a new tattoo is a new reason to think
Yeah, when we get home you’ll see
That this part of him is now part of me
Yeah, when we get home you’ll see
That this part of him is controlling me
Yeah, it’s way too easy to fake this smile lead you on
Maybe I’m wrong but everyone gets bored once in awhile

Big Bang by Cursive
They say there was this big bang once, but the clergyman doesn’t agree, oh no
There was this big bang once, but it don’t jive with Adam and Eve
Original sin, idyllic garden
Some talking snake giving apples away
What would that snake say if he could only see us today?
Ha ha ha!

Sunny Day by Motion City Soundtrack
I know that I’m not special and you’re nobody’s work of art
Let’s lose us some sleep and somewhere to start.
Let’s get!
Physical!
Try and break our bones tonight.
Let’s share chemicals
Try and break our bones
Let’s get!
Physical!
Try and break our bones all night
Try and break our bones tonight

Por Favor In Spanish by Mansions
She was kissing somebody who wasn’t her boyfriend
she met him at a bar, he was a hot Australian
she didn’t mean to do it but she liked his accent
and somehow I’m responsible
then her friend decided to go home with one of his friends
they spent the night at his place in the north of Florence
all she really wanted was to fuck his accent
and somehow I’m responsible
I’ve only known you for a month
shouldn’t have taken so long to realize that you suck
I hope you’re getting what you want
cheating on your boyfriend and acting like a slut
one’s in the corner and the other is laughing
I’m sitting at the bar wondering if I should take action
they told me what they wanted but this wasn’t an accident
and why am I responsible
that’s it, I’m leaving
it ain’t worth it for free beer
there’s way too many reasons I shouldn’t be here
then one follows me out, and I can see she’s in tears
why am I responsible?
well shame on you, and shame on me
shame on your favorite Aussie
and I don’t know just how this happened
but I’ll blame you, and you’ll blame me
and then we’ll blame society
and I don’t care if we’re never really ever friends again
I walk her home and tell her not to worry
I’m not a saint and I’ve been there myself
but you gotta tell him or it will eat you empty
you’re not protecting him, you’re protecting yourself
ah hell, you blew it kid, it’s already done
so go ahead and do whatever you want
cause no matter what you do, it’ll always feel wrong
and if it don’t feel any different
then be pretty sure that there was nothing there all along

You have to be the cutest gravedigger I’ve ever seen.
