Called to the devil and the devil did come
I said to the devil, "Devil, do you like drums?
Do you like cigarettes, dominoes, rum?"
He said, "Only sundown, Sundays, Christmas
Some day's end, when I need a few friends
Now and again, I could never hope to keep them"
Thought to give friends what I thought that they wanted
Never had they needed a good friend as I've been
Don't get me venting on friends who resent you
'Cause all you've ever done is been a noose to hang on to
They thought was a necklace and, reckless
They fell into hell where you both hang with nothing to do but
Scratch, kick, let gravity win, like
Fuck this, let gravity win, like
You could leave it all behind
Even the devil needs time alone sometimes
You could let it all go
You could let it all go
It's called freefall
It's called freefall
Called to the devil and the devil said, "Quit
Can't be bothered, better handle your shit
Keep about your wits, man, keep about your wits
Know yourself and who you came in with"
Can I sit down? I've been hustling all day
I can't even count how many souls I've made
Off the same deal you on
Remember, the devil ain't a friend to no one
But fun, true
You could let it all go
You could let it all go
It's called freefall
It's called freefall
Called to the Devil and the Devil said "Hey
Why you've been calling this late?
It's like 2 AM and the bars all close at ten in hell
That's a rule I made"
Anyway, you say you're too busy saving everybody else
To save yourself
And you don't want no help, oh, well
That's the story to tell
You could let it all go
You could let it all go
It's called freefall
It's called freefall
You could let it all go
You could let it all go
'Cause ain't shit free but falling out
And that shit's easy, let me show you how, it's like
You could let it all go
You could let it all go
It's called freefall
It's called freefall

Delilah - Florence + The Machine
Now the sun is up and I'm going blind
Another drink just to pass the time
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
Maybe not tonight
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning around
Never knew I was a dancer
'Till Delilah showed me how
I can never let go
Never knew I was a dancer
I can never let go
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight
And the bells are ringing out
And I'm calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning around
Never knew I was a dancer
'Till Delilah showed me how
I can never let go
I can never let go
Never knew I was a dancer
I can never let go
Another drink just to pass the time
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
Maybe not tonight
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning around
Never knew I was a dancer
'Till Delilah showed me how
I can never let go
Never knew I was a dancer
I can never let go
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine
But maybe not tonight
And the bells are ringing out
And I'm calling for my mother
As I pull the pillars down
It's a different kind of danger
And my feet are spinning around
Never knew I was a dancer
'Till Delilah showed me how
I can never let go
I can never let go
Never knew I was a dancer
I can never let go

Right Now - Rosi Golan
You used to quote Galileo to me in the room
Where you kept all your books and the pictures of the moon
Even though I knew it was never gonna last
Some things are better like that, mmm
Where you kept all your books and the pictures of the moon
Even though I knew it was never gonna last
Some things are better like that, mmm
I think about that moment with your dad in the fall
He never missed a beat and he loved to show you off
I didn’t know then that his time was so short
Some things we shouldn’t ignore, mmm
Like the cracks in the earth and your eyes when you hurt
How the boards in the floor left a crease in your shirt
That’s how I remember you right now
Like the fog on the street, how it made me feel
When you worked till you crashed with your hands on the wheel
That’s how I remember you right now, mmm
Somewhere in the walls of your second story flat
I hid a love letter that I can’t get back
With a picture of your dad and a word on a key
I hope you remember me
Like the cracks in the earth and your eyes when you hurt
How the boards in the floor left a crease in your shirt
That’s how I remember you right now
Like the fog on the street, how it made me feel
When you worked till you crashed with your hands on the wheel
That’s how I remember you right now, mmm
I know I shouldn’t pull the thread on the sweater that I’m wearing
But I can’t help but unravel
My heart it gets the best of me
You said you’d never fall in love in the dead of the winter
That’s how I remember you right now
Right now

Unwritten - Natasha Bedingfield
I am unwritten, can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
I break tradition, sometimes my tries
Are outside the line
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes
But I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten

Little Girl - Rosendale
Once upon a time, in a far away land
A little girl lived under her father's hand
She wept in silence and never talked
Her father made sure that he called the shots
He nailed the door shut, so she couldn't leave
Blew out the lights, so she couldn't see
But one night she broke through the window pane
Nothing could stop her great escape
'Cause this girl had plans
That he'd never understand
All the miracles she saw in her dreams
All the amazing things that she could be
So the little girl ran away from home, you see
Little girl, go on and write your story
Little girl, rejoice 'cause you're finally free
Little girl, be who you wanna be
You already know the strength inside your heart
You don't need someone to tell you who you are
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl, little girl, be who you wanna be
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl, little girl, be who you wanna be
20 years later, through the hourglass
The little girl grew up in the time that's passed
All those late nights 'cause she worked three jobs
Started from pennies now she's her own boss
One day she opens up the door to meet
A stranger at window, guess who she sees?
Her father shows up with a face of red
Head down low he looks up and says
"I know you can't forgive
All the things that I did
But I'm hoping that you'll understand
For you, I always had a plan"
So the little girl showed him all the things she achieved
The world she saw from all the highest peaks
How she moved the mountains with her fingertips
Head to toe, her father finally admits
"You already know the strength inside your heart
You don't need someone to tell you who you are
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl, little girl, be who you wanna be"
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl, little girl, be who you wanna be
Go and say the words you know you long to speak
Little girl, little girl, be who you wanna be
Be who you wanna be
Little girl, little girl, be who you wanna be
Ah
Little girl, little girl, be who you wanna be

Yes I'm a Mess - AJR
I leave my house at 3 o' clock
With 200 texts and 2 missed calls
Guess all of the friends that I pissed off
All talked
And I took a job for just July
But feels like I might be here for life
Yeah I'm in it now
I'm in it now
Could I start again, somehow?
Yes I'm a mess with an S on my chest
Got stress filling up my head
So I spent last night
Blowing up my life
Now you won't see me again
Cheers to the front and cheers to the back
And cheers to the 2010s
I could hate my guts
When the sun comes up
But I like myself like this
I like myself like this
Why should I fix the shit I've done
When I could just pack my shit and run
Delete every number from my phone
So long
Yeah I'll get new shirts cause mine all stink
And I'll tell my boss what I really think
Yeah I'm in it now
I'm in it now
Could I start again, somehow?
Yes I'm a mess with an S on my chest
Got stress filling up my head
So I spent last night
Blowing up my life
Now you won't see me again
Cheers to the front and cheers to the back
And cheers to the 2010s
I could hate my guts
When the sun comes up
But I like myself like this
I like myself like this
Yes I'm a mess with an S on my chest
So I spent last night
Blowing up my life
Now you won't see me again
Yes I'm a mess with an S on my chest
I could hate my guts
When the sun comes up
But I guess that's what this is
I like myself like this
I could hate my guts
When the sun comes up
But I like myself like this

Sea Meets Earth - Fever Fever
You stepped into the room
And I knew I was doomed to fall for you
The moment I saw you smile
Now everywhere you go
My eyes follow close
And I am just waiting for the time to be right
To tell you how I've loved you for awhile
Oh my heart is going wild
You wear me down
Like where the sea meets earth
I fade away
Just like the rocks have worn
Don't you see what you do to me
You keep crashing
Keep crashing into me
I keep turning
Turning out to be
Something more
Than what I was before
Your skin touched my skin
And could feel that the breaking of my stonecold heart was about to begin
The moment that we locked eyes
And now everywhere you go my eyes follow close
And I am just waiting for the time to be right
To tell you how I've loved you for awhile
Oh my heart is going wild
You wear me down
Like where the sea meets earth
I fade away
Just like the rocks have worn
Don't you see what you do to me
You keep crashing
Keep crashing into me
I keep turning
Turning out to be
Something more
Than what I was before
You wear me down
Like where the sea meets earth
I fade away
Just like the rocks have worn
Don't you see what you do to me
You keep crashing
Keep crashing into me
I keep turning
Turning out to be
Something more
Than what I was before

One Chance - Phaeleh, Devin Renee
Take this one chance
No this wont be easy
You can take this one chance
Don’t let me drown
I was only ever let down
By the ones coming in
Holding on to smoke now
Still I could never leave
How many times
Would I believe the lies
How many nights
Would I stay up crying
Blood is staining sheets now
From the tears I bleed
Take this one chance
This won’t be easy
You can take this one chance
Don’t let me drown
Here’s my heart
Take this one chance
Here’s my heart
You can take this one chance
Superman can’t save me
I’m not looking for hero in the night
When you say you want to help me
I’m way out in the deep
No love can
erase the bleeding
Empty words
Don’t hold meaning
How many times do you think I’ve fallen
One more time, ain’t easy
Take this one chance
No this won’t be easy
Take this one chance
Don’t let me drown
I want to trust in what you tell me
I want a love to get lost in
If you can patiently hold me
And ignore the screams
I’m ready to fall
I might need a push
I’m loving the thrill
Not the endless fighting
You might be what I’m needing
Only one way to see
Take this one chance
No this won’t be easy
Take this one chance
Don’t let me drown
You can take this one chance
This won’t be easy
You can take this one chance
Don’t let me drown
Here’s my heart
Take this one chance
Don’t let me drown
No this wont be easy
You can take this one chance
Don’t let me drown
I was only ever let down
By the ones coming in
Holding on to smoke now
Still I could never leave
How many times
Would I believe the lies
How many nights
Would I stay up crying
Blood is staining sheets now
From the tears I bleed
Take this one chance
This won’t be easy
You can take this one chance
Don’t let me drown
Here’s my heart
Take this one chance
Here’s my heart
You can take this one chance
Superman can’t save me
I’m not looking for hero in the night
When you say you want to help me
I’m way out in the deep
No love can
erase the bleeding
Empty words
Don’t hold meaning
How many times do you think I’ve fallen
One more time, ain’t easy
Take this one chance
No this won’t be easy

Take this one chance

Let Go - Phealeh, Eva Marie
Time to let go
Passing fingertips on my hand
Can you prise yourself away from my eyes?
And head for warmer plains?
I’m so stagnant
With a fear of jumping in the water
The transitioning from hot to icy
It’s pleasant when you get in
Every little thing I try
Makes me realise
It’s hard to untie
Ever letting go
With grace
Every time I do
It falls back into place
Every little thing I try
Makes me realise
It’s hard to untie
Ever letting go
With grace
Every time I do
You have that look on your face
You float like a feather
It’s too good to be true
And you change like the weather
The storm has to break through
Moving closer
River flowing to the harbour
Flowers sway in nature’s ballet
Feeling everything
There’s no end game
But sometimes I am getting restless
And I think I need a place to call home
Finding it within
Every little thing
Makes me realise
Never letting go
Every time I do
Can you teach me how to be a nomad
I wanna be like
I wanna be like you
Can you teach me how to migrate
I wanna move like
I wanna move like you
To warmer weather
Next year
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Passing fingertips on my hand
Can you prise yourself away from my eyes?
And head for warmer plains?
I’m so stagnant
With a fear of jumping in the water
The transitioning from hot to icy
It’s pleasant when you get in
Every little thing I try
Makes me realise
It’s hard to untie
Ever letting go
With grace
Every time I do
It falls back into place
Every little thing I try
Makes me realise
It’s hard to untie
Ever letting go
With grace
Every time I do
You have that look on your face
You float like a feather
It’s too good to be true
And you change like the weather
The storm has to break through
Moving closer
River flowing to the harbour
Flowers sway in nature’s ballet
Feeling everything
There’s no end game
But sometimes I am getting restless
And I think I need a place to call home
Finding it within
Every little thing
Makes me realise
Never letting go
Every time I do
Can you teach me how to be a nomad
I wanna be like
I wanna be like you
Can you teach me how to migrate
I wanna move like
I wanna move like you
To warmer weather
Next year
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you

Whistling in the Dark - Phaeleh, Augustus Ghost
You are in a wasteland
With your soul trapped between the tides
Running with wild horses and the wolves are on your track
Hiding from the secrets in your eyes
Hold my hand against the night
Show me all the demons left to fight
And I'll patch up the hole in your heart
And carry on whistling in the dark
And carry on whistling in the dark
Twilight
And the mud begins to crack
You cross your fingers twice behind your back
But your feet start to slip
You stumble and you trip
The sky breaks and the clouds are dripping black
Hold my hand against the night
Show me all the demons left to fight
And I'll patch up the hole in your heart
And carry on whistling in the dark
And carry on whistling in the dark
(Ahhh-ahhh-ahhhh-----ahhhhhh)
Go now
To the clear skies
Where the tears will wash the color
From your eyes
Oh-ahh ahh-ahhhh-----ahhhhhh
Ohh-ahh ah-ahhh ahh
Ahhhh-h-h-h-h
I will carry you home
You know I've done it alone
I will carry you home
You know I've done it alone
Hold my hand against the night
Show me all the demons left to fight
And I'll patch up the hole in your heart
And carry on whistling in the dark
In the dark
Carry on whistling in the dark
With your soul trapped between the tides
Running with wild horses and the wolves are on your track
Hiding from the secrets in your eyes
Hold my hand against the night
Show me all the demons left to fight
And I'll patch up the hole in your heart
And carry on whistling in the dark
And carry on whistling in the dark
Twilight
And the mud begins to crack
You cross your fingers twice behind your back
But your feet start to slip
You stumble and you trip
The sky breaks and the clouds are dripping black
Hold my hand against the night
Show me all the demons left to fight
And I'll patch up the hole in your heart
And carry on whistling in the dark
And carry on whistling in the dark
(Ahhh-ahhh-ahhhh-----ahhhhhh)
Go now
To the clear skies
Where the tears will wash the color
From your eyes
Oh-ahh ahh-ahhhh-----ahhhhhh
Ohh-ahh ah-ahhh ahh
Ahhhh-h-h-h-h
I will carry you home
You know I've done it alone
I will carry you home
You know I've done it alone
Hold my hand against the night
Show me all the demons left to fight
And I'll patch up the hole in your heart
And carry on whistling in the dark
In the dark
Carry on whistling in the dark

Young Blood - Noah Kahan
One, two, three, four
Oh dear, oh dear, I'm sorry
That you grew up so soon
A cold year and no high school parties
I've been drinking alone
Oh, I've been drinking alone
So, don't fear, don't fear their warnings
They're bitterer than most
Four years of driving across the country
For empty seats at their shows
And they've been drinking alone
So, keep your time, keep your mind, keep humble
Start your life in the middle of the jungle
You
Young blood
Rub your eyes, be surprised, keep hungry
Stay alive, try to lose all of your money
You
Young blood
You
Young blood
Young blood
So when you're mad for no reason
At everything at once
And when you start over-thinking
I'll be drinking at home
Oh, I'll be drinking at home
So, keep your time, keep your mind, keep humble
Start your life in the middle of the jungle
You
Young blood
Rub your eyes, be surprised, keep hungry
Stay alive, try to lose all of your money
You
Young blood
You
Young blood
Young blood
And if you want I could tell the truth
That this life takes a toll on you
I spend nights stitching up the loose threads of my soul
And in the morning I'm bullet proof
And if you want I could tell the truth
That this life takes a toll on you
I spend nights stitching up the loose threads of my soul
And in the morning I'm bullet proof
In the morning I'm bullet proof
So, keep your time, keep your mind, keep humble
Start your life in the middle of the jungle
You
Young blood
Rub your eyes, be surprised, keep hungry
Stay alive, try to lose all of your money
You
Young blood
You
Young blood
You
Young blood
Young blood
Oh dear, oh dear, I'm sorry
That you grew up so soon
A cold year and no high school parties
I've been drinking alone
Oh, I've been drinking alone
So, don't fear, don't fear their warnings
They're bitterer than most
Four years of driving across the country
For empty seats at their shows
And they've been drinking alone
So, keep your time, keep your mind, keep humble
Start your life in the middle of the jungle
You
Young blood
Rub your eyes, be surprised, keep hungry
Stay alive, try to lose all of your money
You
Young blood
You
Young blood
Young blood
So when you're mad for no reason
At everything at once
And when you start over-thinking
I'll be drinking at home
Oh, I'll be drinking at home
So, keep your time, keep your mind, keep humble
Start your life in the middle of the jungle
You
Young blood
Rub your eyes, be surprised, keep hungry
Stay alive, try to lose all of your money
You
Young blood
You
Young blood
Young blood
And if you want I could tell the truth
That this life takes a toll on you
I spend nights stitching up the loose threads of my soul
And in the morning I'm bullet proof
And if you want I could tell the truth
That this life takes a toll on you
I spend nights stitching up the loose threads of my soul
And in the morning I'm bullet proof
In the morning I'm bullet proof
So, keep your time, keep your mind, keep humble
Start your life in the middle of the jungle
You
Young blood
Rub your eyes, be surprised, keep hungry
Stay alive, try to lose all of your money
You
Young blood
You
Young blood
You
Young blood
Young blood

Oh My Dear Lord - The Unlikely Candidates
Here's my confession
I've got a death wish
I'm in the fast lane
Addicted to excess
Living my best life
I was on top right
Sipping the limelight
A deer in the headlights
My future used to shine as bright as a diamond
Where did time go?
I was so high, it was frightening
I know I messed up, but there's no use in crying
(No use in crying)
Oh my dear Lord
I've been running wild, had a good time
But I can't stop now
(Oh my dear Lord)
Over my head in a landslide
Can you pull me out?
Oh my dear Lord
Oh my dear Lord
Oh my dear Lord
I've been running wild, had a good time
But I can't stop now
Oh my dear Lord
Oou, oh my dear Lord
I was a good guy
But I was the worst type
Give me an inch, man
And I'll take a mile
I'm walking back now
Past all the fires
Trying to find out
Why I grabbed the lighter
My future used to shine as bright as a diamond
Where did time go?
I was so high, it was frightening
I know I messed up, but there's no use in crying
(No use in crying)
Oh my dear Lord
I've been running wild, had a good time
But I can't stop now
(Oh my dear Lord)
Over my head in a landslide
Can you pull me out?
Oh my dear Lord
Oh my dear Lord
Oh my dear Lord
I've been running wild, had a good time
But I can't stop now
Oh my dear Lord
Yeah
Yeah-eh
(Oh my dear Lord)
Yeah
Yeah-eh
Been a tyrant, been a pusher, pushing my disease
Breaking bones and taking everything in front of me
Priests and beggars looking up to heaven from their knees
Is anyone listening?
Is anyone listening?
Is anyone listening?
(Oh my dear Lord)
I've been running wild, had a good time
But I can't stop now
(Oh my dear Lord)
Over my head in the landslide
Can you pull me out?
Oh my dear Lord (Yeah)

Fear - NF
Hello, darkness, my old friend (Hello)
Knocking at my door again
Begging me to come outside
I'd let you back into my life
Now, usually I'd be strong enough
To lock the doors and keep 'em shut
But not today, I'm desperate (Desperate)
So go ahead and come on in
So go ahead and come on in
So go ahead and come on in
OCD is worse than ever, hands are bleeding, maybe I should take the pills, don't (Woah)
Know what's going on with me, some days I actually think I might be schizo— (Woah)
Phrenic, prolly not, but even writing this is making me begin to spiral, oh God (Oh, oh, oh)
Made a promise to myself I wouldn't let the fear back in, but then I did though (Woah)
Told the world that I was sick of running, then went back to running, what a joke (Woah)
Disappointed? Yeah, me too, I thought I finally had finally made a breakthrough, guess not (Oh, woah, oh)
It's the same song and dance, you have seen it before
Darkness holds out his hand, then we walk to the floor
Every decision made isn't mine anymore
Like a puppet with strings, I just don't have a choice
What's the truth? What's a lie? Help me, God, help me, Lord
"Face your fears, dry your eyes," Grandma died, what's the point?
Lost the keys, lost my hope, lost my will, lost my joy
Lost a friend, lost my home, lost my faith, lost my voice
Desperate
Standing back
Watching my mansion
Burn to ash while I—
Hold the gas can
Asking God if
He started this fire
Is this what You wanted?
Is this what You wanted?
Make all my hopes and my dreams come to life just to lay them to rest
Is this what You wanted?
Is this what You wanted?
Give me a false sense of peace just to show me what peace really is
Is this what You wanted? On the verge, on the edge
Is this what You wanted? Petrified, scared to death
Is this what You wanted? Praying to God, desperate
Is this what You wanted, what You wanted?
Is this what You wanted? Hanging on by a thread (Oh, oh, oh)
Is this what You wanted? Empty heart, nothing left (Oh, oh, oh)
Is this what You wanted? Breaking down, spiraling (Oh, oh, oh)
Is this what You wanted, what You wanted? (Oh, oh, oh)
(Is this what You wanted?) Standing back
(Is this what You wanted?) Watching my mansion
(Is this what You wanted?) Burn to ash
(Is this what You wanted?) While I— (What You wanted?) (Oh, oh, oh)
(Is this what You wanted?) Hold the gas can
(Is this what You wanted?) Asking God If
(Is this what You wanted?) He started
(Is this what You wanted?) This fire (What You wanted?) (Oh, oh, oh)
