Foc Fashion - Victim of An Alibi

Anberlin - Alexithymia

Don’t try to wake me up
Even if the sun really does come out tomorrow
Don’t believe anything you say 
Anymore, in the morn, in the morning
Bricks to this old house are breaking
Steel would have weathered but now forlorning
It’s alarming how loud the silence screams
No warn, no warn, no warning
Addictions fill the table where the family used to sit
And conversate 
Conversate to the sounds
To the sounds of a record player
With it’s jumping needle and the lights that grow dim over time

With downcast eyes
There’s more to living than being alive
With downcast eyes
There’s more to living than being alive

Are you where you thought you’d be
So beautiful and only twenty-three
Opposition rests in the hearts
With no, with no, with no opportunity
It’s not that we don’t talk
It’s just no one really listens and honesty fades
Like a politician lost in the course
All smiles and no one remembers our names

With downcast eyes
There’s more to living than being alive
With downcast eyes
There’s more to living than being alive
With downcast eyes
There’s more to living than being alive
With downcast eyes
There’s more to living than being alive

Don’t try to wake me up
Even if the sun really does come out tomorrow
Don’t believe anything I say 
Anymore, in the morn, in the morning

With downcast eyes
There’s more to living than being alive
With downcast eyes
There’s more to living than being alive
With downcast eyes
There’s more to living than being alive
With downcast eyes
There’s more to living than being alive

Anberlin - A Day Late

So let me get this straight
Say now you loved me all along
What made you hesitate
to tell me with words what you really feel?
I can see it in your eyes 
you mean all of what you say
I remember so along ago, see I felt that same way
Now we both have separate lives and lovers (and lovers)
Insignificantly enough 
we both have significant others

Only time will tell
Time will turn and tell

We are who we were when
Could have been lovers but at least you’re still my day late friend
we are who, we are who we were when

Who knew what we know now
Could have been more but at least you’re still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when

But thoughts they change 
and times they rearrange 
I don’t know who you are anymore
Loves come and go and this I know 
I’m not who you recall anymore
But I must confess 
you’re so much more than I remember
Can’t help but entertain 
these thoughts, thoughts of us together


We are who we were when
Could have been lovers but at least you’re still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could have been more but at least you’re still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when

My day late friend

So let me get this straight
All these years 
and you were no where to be found
And now you want me for your own
But you’re a day late 
and my love, she’s still renowned

We are who we were when
Could have been lovers but at least you’re still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could have been more but at least you’re still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when

We are who we were when
Could have been lovers but at least you’re still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could have been more but at least you’re still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when

Anberlin - Time & Confusion

Woah oh! Yea yea! Woah oh yea yea woah oh! 
Woah oh! Yea yea! Woah oh yea yea woah oh!

Live for today, we’ll dream tomorrow 
We’ve got big plans in sight 
We’ll take this city, and by nightfall 
the bright lights are calling 
Everything is going our way 
Everything is just as we planned
This is our future for what we’ve heard, 
and i’ve still got your hand 

And it feels like, we could last forever 
And I’m not doing this alone 

When memories fade, we’ve got eachother 
When time and confusion collide
singing, “I hold it all when I hold you.” 
When friends walk other ways, we’ve got eachother 
I hold it all when I hold, I hold it all when I hold you 

Woah oh! Yea yea! 
Woah oh yea yea woah oh! 

We fell on hard times
This isn’t the ideal 
We’re miles from home, doing the best that we can (the best that we can)
I wont do this without you (do this without you)
Wont do this without you so take heart
‘Cause you know that you have mine 

And it feels like, we could last forever
And I’m not doin’ this alone. 

When memories fade, we’ve got eachother 
When time and confusion collide
singing, “I hold it all when I hold you.” 
When friends walk other ways, we’ve got eachother 
I hold it all when I hold, I hold it all when I hold.. 

It’s not about the money we make 
It’s about the passions that we ache for 
What makes your heart beat faster 
Tell me now, what does your body long after
I don’t care now where we live
It’s not where, or what, or who we were with. 
I just need you in my life, so promise me again! 

When memories fade, we’ve got eachother 
When time and confusion collide
singing “I hold it all when I hold you.” 
When friends walk other ways, we’ve got eachother 
I hold it all when I hold, I hold it all when I hold you

Woah oh! Yea yea!
Woah oh yea yea woah oh!

Anberlin - Audrey, Start the Revolution!

Maybe tonight we’ll get back together 
Sound the alarms and break all the levers
These streets are ours 
Our anthem rings 
You’d know the truth 
if these walls could sing 
Amateur youth sling down the signs 
Gather the masses, friends of mine 
I’ve got your back if you got my hand
This isn’t over, it just began

If this isn’t love (If this isn’t love) 
This is the closest I’ve ever been 
Do you think we have a chance tonight? 
As streetlights sing on Audrey’s song 

If this isn’t love (If this isn’t love) 
This is the closest I’ve ever been 
Do you think we have a chance tonight? 
As streetlights sing on Audrey’s song. 

Remind your parents we’re tomorrow 
Lead with morals and we’ll follow 
When they wake up they’ll see 
that youth fades 
and glory days deceive 

What are you waiting for? Let’s move on this 
Time is of essence, like your kiss 
So say you’re in with cards down
And guns drawn, this is it

If this isn’t love (If this isn’t love) 
This is the closest I’ve ever been. 
Do you think we have a chance tonight? 
As streetlights sing on Audrey’s song. 

If this isn’t love (If this isn’t love) 
This is the closest I’ve ever been. 
Do you think we have a chance tonight? 
As streetlights sing on Audrey’s song. 

And now it stops at this 
We could take it all 
if only we would risk 
You can be what you can conceive 
Red letters kill your disbelief 

We all make mistakes sometimes 
We all have failed where we stand tonight 
Look past, learn, and move on 
We’re all here, you’re not the only one 

If this isn’t love (If this isn’t love) 
This is the closest I’ve ever been. 
Do you think we have a chance tonight? 
As streetlights, sing on Audrey’s song.

Anberlin - The Unwinding Cable Car

Emotive unstable you’re like an unwinding cable car
Listening for voices, but it’s the choices that make us who we are
Go your own way, even seasons have changed just burn those new leaves over
So self-absorbed you’ve seemed to ignore the prayers that have already come about

This is the correlation of salvation and love 
(Don’t drop your arms)
Don’t drop your arms, I’ll guard your heart
With quiet words I’ll lead you in

La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la

Backing away from the problem of pain you never had a home
You’ve been misguided, you’re hiding in shadows for so very long
Don’t you believe that you’ve been deceived that you’re no better than… 
The hair in your eyes, it never disguised what you’re really thinking of

This is the correlation of salvation and love
(Don’t drop your arms)
Don’t drop your arms, I’ll guard your heart
With quiet words I’ll lead you in

This is the correlation of salvation and love
(Don’t drop your arms)
Don’t drop your arms, I’ll guard your heart
With quiet words I’ll lead you in

You’re so brilliant, don’t soon forget
You’re so brilliant, grace marked your heart
You’re so brilliant, don’t soon forget
You’re so brilliant, grace marked your heart
You’re so brilliant (This is the correlation)
Don’t soon forget (Between salvation and love, don’t drop your arms)
You’re so brilliant (I’ll guard your heart)
Grace marked your heart (With quiet words I’ll lead you in and out of the dark)

La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la 
(Don’t drop your arms)
La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la

This is the correlation of salvation and love (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
(Don’t drop your arms)
Don’t drop your arms, I’ll guard your heart (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
With quiet words I’ll lead you in

This is the correlation of salvation and love (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
(Don’t drop your arms)
Don’t drop your arms, I’ll guard your heart (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
With quiet words I’ll lead you in

Anberlin - Change the World

If I could write one letter to the world as we know it
I would list these rhymes that mean everything to me
Heartache temporary, Bullets only stop your blood
Pain will live on and on
In everyone, in everyone

And we could change, we could change it down
We could change the world, we could strike the chord
We are the lost ones, we are the lost ones
We could re-write history, if only you and me
We are the lost ones, we are the lost ones
And We could change it down

The bottle holds no answers
His lips can only sway
Chemicals imbalance
Who needs them anyway?
Desire is close at hand
Her lips can only sway
There’s more to life than this
Don’t give yourself away

Mae - Someone Else’s Arms

I just want to wake up in someone else’s arms

This one’s for Robin. <3

Mae - Sleep Well

I begin to dream with barely open eyes tonight

A quiet melody, it sings to me, asleep I fall
With whispered songs of hope that come toward my ears and stick inside my head
And hold at bay the fear, the droplets on the pane reverberate the same thing

Sleep well, sleep well tonight
Oh won’t you sleep well, won’t you sleep well tonight 

All that I believe and all I know that we can do
It begins again with day and it begins again with me and you
So let’s be quiet and be still and steal these peaceful hours all away
And claim the stars as ours, I know just where they’ll be and what they’ll 
say they will sing

Sleep well, sleep well tonight
Oh won’t you sleep well, won’t you sleep well tonight
Won’t you sleep well, sleep well tonight
Won’t you sleep well, oh, won’t you sleep well tonight 

Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life

Motion City Soundtrack - It Had to Be You

Let’s get wrecked on pop tarts and sex and see the Taj Mahal

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
