Try To Figure Out What All This Is For

Strange Boy Kerli
Baby don't you realize
I'm not another foolish sacrifice
You're waiting for the world to pass you by
Living in a state of compromise

Zero The Smashing Pumpkins
Emptiness is loneliness and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and God is empty just like me
Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness
Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms

I'd Rather Dance With You Kings of Convenience
The music's too loud, and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings

Papillon Editors
If there really was a God here,
He'd have raised a hand by now.
Darling, you're born, get old, and die here.
Well that's quite enough for me dear

Flux Bloc Party
We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more despair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of Flux

Glittering Clouds (Locusts) Imogen Heap
I'm not always like this
It's something I've become
A terrible weakness
In my nature, in my blood

Prayer In C Lily Wood and the Prick (feat. Robin Schulz)
See our world is slowly dying
I'm not wasting no more time
Don't think I could believe you

Mother RevolutionTori Amos
And all along the watchtower
The night horses and the black mares
Ready themselves for the outcome
For the strange times upon us

Signs Bloc Party
I could sleep forever these days
Because in my dreams I see you again,
But this time fleshed out fuller face
In your confirmation dress

Pinch Me Barenaked Ladies
Like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
(Pinch me) Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
(I'm still asleep) When you try to see the world, beyond your front door
(Please God) Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
(Tell me) When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
(I'm still asleep) Just to try to figure out what all this is for

Melt Your Heart Jenny Lewis, The Watson Twins
When you're kissing someone who's too much like you
It's like kissing on the mirror
When you're sleeping with someone who doesn't get you
You're going to hate yourself in the morning

Company of Friends Carrie Elkin and Danny Schmidt
Let them know me as the footprints that I left upon the sand
Let them laugh for all the laughter
Let them cry for laughter’s end
But when I die, let them judge me by my company of friends

The Feather Test A Weather
If I lose everything then I lose you
But I'll lose all the really bad things too
I don't feel so alive tonight
The lightest things feel very heavy

Skulls Bastille
I can't help but think of you
In these four walls my thoughts seem to wander
To some distant century
When everyone we know is six feet under

When all of our friends are dead and just a memory
And we're side by side, it's always been just you and me
For all to see
