this is not a game for me.

GET OUT ALIVE
three days grace

"No time for goodbye," he said, as he faded away. Don't put your life in someone's hands, they're bound to steal it away. Don't hide your mistakes, 'cause they'll find you, burn you." Then he said, "If you want to get out alive, run for your life."

LITTLE BLACK SUBMARINES
the black keys

Treasure maps, fallen trees. Operator please, call me back when it's time. Stolen friends and disease. Operator please, patch me back to my mind. Oh, can it be? The voices calling me, they get lost and out of time.

1940
the submarines

Something's wrong when you regret things that haven't happened yet. But it's a glorious day when morning comes without the feeling of alarm. So rise and shine. Now's the time to be alive, to stay awake with me a while. And smile. You couldn't sleep for the awful fright that kept you up in bed last night. But curious shapes shift in the dark, they vanish with the sunrise spark. So rise and shine...

MAKE BELIEVE
silversun pickups

You would do the same for me, but I might've lost my mind. I can never show you what you gave to me: a shape and form of make believe. I wouldn't want to stay here in my incomplete shaken up realities. I'll give everything I've got to fill the canyon with useless debris. From plastic foliage, collected catalogues, and other fakery. I'll sentence everyone over 21 to the guillotine. They never understood our neck of the woods and what it all means.
