Nothing's past a conversation
There's always space for you

Lyric of the Week #19
Who's got love for the taking?
Who's got heart for the aching?
No such thing as a Kingdom
When tomorrow's done for the children
They chop it up and divide
So meet me at the borderline
Where the burning bridges have been taking toll
We row, we row, we row the boat
We row, we row, we row the boat
We row, we row, we row the boat
- Joy Crookes, Kingdom

Lyric of the Week #18
Peel me apart, all my layers
All of my fears, all my pride
They say, "Laugh now, and cry later"
I can't ignore how I feel inside

Laugh and the world will laugh, too
Cry and the world laughs at you, girl
So I lie to myself
Let's be real, I'm afraid of how I feel
So I lie to my friends
But they can tell
Just a shell of who I am when I lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
- Miguel, So I Lie

Wanna feel your soul
Will you let me?

On my little brown world, little brown world
When the sun shines down on the concourse
On my little world made in the image of you

Just for one night

I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
I'll try, but you see, it's hard to explain

I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I watch the TV, forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young and they are too old

Toss the sword back into the vines

Lyric of the Week #8
Lucidity came slowly
I awoke from dreams of untying a great knot
It unraveled like a braid into what seemed were thousands
Of separate strands of fishing line
Attached to coarse behavior, it flowed
A calm it urged, what else is here?
- Japanese Breakfast, Paprika

Lyric of the Week #7
I watch 'em all pass by the moon and stars
Let me hold him in my arms, forevermore
These cold nights, the park is ours
Standing by the side
Let you go on
To the sea, just for me
Don't ever leave me, my love
Keep holding on, let the modest go
As my mind goes to and fro
Waking up for one more show
We see him in the night
Tell him I'm not afraid of him
