Fish in a Birdcage - Rule #1 - Magic ( pass it along, pass it along; i'm just the messenger givin' a wake-up call; pass it along, pass it along; i wanna speak to your soul, this is our conversation starter; for starters, this is larger than the both of us; you can't kill an idea )

Phil Ochs - When I'm Gone ( there's no place in this world where i'll belong when i'm gone; and i won't know the right from the wrong when i'm gone; and you won't find me singin' on this song when i'm gone; so i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here )

Bedouine - Solitary Daughter ( i play with the moon; my only friend; it pushes it pulls me; i don't pay rent; i don't need the walls; to bury my grave; i don't need your company; to feel saved; i don't need the sunlight; my curtains don't draw; i don't need objects; to keep or to pawn; i don't want your pity; concern or your scorn )

Eleri Ward - The Miller's Son ( in the meanwhile; there are mouths to be kissed; before mouths to be fed; and there's many a tryst; and there's many a bed; to be sampled and seen; in the meanwhile; and a girl has to celebrate what passes by )

Harold Krebs | Soldier's Home

[lifewithnoconsequence]

1916

"I heard my friend cry
And he sank to his knees, coughing blood
As he screamed for his mother
And I fell by his side
And that's how we died
Clinging like kids to each other
And I lay in the mud
And the guts and the blood
And I wept as his body grew colder
And I called for my mother
And she never came
Though it wasn't my fault
And I wasn't to blame
The day not half over
And 10,000 slain, and now
There's nobody remembers our names
And that's how it is for a soldier"

Devil Dogs

"Kill, fight, die
That's what a soldier should do
Top of the game, earning their name
They were the Devil dogs
In a war machine
They were the USA marines"

Hellfighters

"Hear the toll of the bell
Kept fighting for six months in hell
As the war rages on
They fight at the edge of the Argonne
Hear the toll of the bell, over six months in hell
Out of the trenches they came
As the war rages on, at the edge of the Argonne
Hellfighters earning their name"

One

"I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or a dream
Deep down inside, I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now"

For Whom The Bell Tolls

"Make his fight, on the hill, in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run, through the endless grey
On they fight, for their right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill, men would kill — Why? They do not know
Stiffened wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive, through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know"

Coda | Changeling: the Lost OC

[senseloss]

The Draw - Bastille
Are you drifting way beyond what's normal?
'Cause 'round your mind rings the words that they would say
When you go home everything looks different
And you're scared of being left behind

Ladder Song - Bright Eyes
Will I know when it's finally done?
This whole life is a hallucination
You're not alone in anything
You're not alone in trying to be

Labyrinth - Miracle Musical
See how I circle
Imaginary mind, imaginary lines
Let the maze of my design carry you on
See how I fly away

If Rah - Underworld
But I don’t look
And you don’t look old enough
To have suffered so much
What do I know?
Look, a heart, on your arm
What does it mean?
I mean, what’s that about?

[valleyprankster]

Paper Wings - Rise Against
And I can't tell if you're laughing
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
There's a train leaving town in an hour
It's not waiting for you and neither am I

Punk Rock Princess - Something Corporate
Maybe when the room is empty
Maybe when the bottle's full
Maybe when the door gets broke down
Love can break in

She's Quiet - The Home Team
Maybe I'll stay this time
Whether you had asked me to, I'm back into it
Ready your hand in mine
I could only get so far without you by my side
