Post lyrics to a song thats on your mind.

Your Midas touch on the chevy door
November flush and your flannel cure
This dorm was once a madhouse,
I made a joke, “Well, it’s made for me”
How evergreen our group of friends
Don’t think we’ll say that word again,
And soon they’ll have the nerve to
Deck the halls that we once walked through.

One for the money, two for the show
I never was ready, so I watch you go.
Sometimes you just don’t know the answer
‘Till someone’s on their knees and asks you
“She would’ve made such a lovely bride,
What a shame she’s ****ed in the head”, they said
But you’ll find the real thing instead
She’ll patch up the tapestry that I shred

And hold your hand while dancing
Never leave you standing
Crestfallen on the landing
With champagne problems
 
She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

If you would’ve blinked, then I would’ve
Looked away at the first glance
If you tasted poison, you could’ve
Spit me out at the first chance
If I was some paint, did it splatter
On a promising grown man?
If I was a child, did it matter
If you got to wash your hands?
Ooh, I used to do was pray
Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve

If you’d never looked my way,
I would’ve stayed on my knees
And I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil
At nineteen
And the gods honest truth is that the pain was heaven
And now that I’m grown, I’m scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
And now that I know
I wish you’d left me wondering

If you never touched me I would’ve
Gone along with the righteous
If I never blushed then they could’ve
Never whispered about this
And if you never saved me from boredom
I could’ve stayed as I was
But lord, you made me feel important
And then you tried to erase us
Ooh, you’re a crisis of my faith
Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve
If I only played it safe
 
I’m the dog who gets beat.
Shove my nose in ****.

Chorus (can’t make out the first part):
My eyes!
Can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ!
Deny your maker.
He who tries!
Will be wasted.

-Man In The Box

Rooster:

They found a way to kill me yet?
Eyes burn with stinging sweat.
Seems every path leads me to nowhere.
…
Wife and kids.
Household pet.
(Something that I can’t make out) was no safe bet.
The (something) scream took me from somewhere.

Yeah, they come to (something) the rooster. Oh yeah.
Yeah they come and (something) the rooster.

(Something I can’t make out. Machine gone mad or machine gun man? Idk. :P )
They spit on me and my homeland.
(Something) send me pictures of my boy.
…
Got my pills (too muffled to make out)
My buddy’s breathing his dying breath.
Oh God please, won’t you help me make it through?

(You can help by filling in the lyrics I couldn’t make out or remember. Too lazy to look it up. Please help.)

Sea of Sorrow:
(Something) destructive tastes.
I choose (something) amongst the waste.
It was your heart.
Lost in the dark.
(Can’t make this out.)

Walls of (something).
Strong and high.
As my castle
crumbles with time.
I think of you.
Oh yes I do.
(Something)


Sorry about missing lyrics. Feel free to help fill them in if you want. No pressure tho. :P
 
You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, "Something's out there!"
Floating in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert!
There's something here from somewhere else!
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
When ninety-nine red balloons go by

99 Decision Street
Ninety-nine ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it, boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine knights of the air
Ride super high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a superhero
Everyone's a "Captain Kirk"
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
As ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine dreams I have had
In every one, a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you, and let it go...
 
And they called off the circus
Burned the disco down
When they sent home the horses
And the rodeo clowns
I'm still on that tightrope
I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me
I'm still a believer but I don't know why
I've never been a natural
All I do is try, try, try
I'm still on that trapeze
I'm still trying everything
To keep you looking at me
Because I'm a mirrorball
 
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody is searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
(Thank you Mothering Heights for introducing this song to me. I love it 🥲)
 
I am shy, but I do speak only when I truly need
To say some ****.. that hopefully
will reach the ears, it's supposed to be
I try my best to show them me, my rising sign is all they see
Scorpio b with a sharp ahh sting
I gotta Taurus, Sun, and Mercury

Count up your portions, count up your checks
Feeding your fam while you're coming at my neck
When ya gonna freeze with the cruel dramatics?
I'm not inspired by your foolish practice
Butter your bull****, set up your fence
I'm just the chicken giving you the egg
Soon you're gonna see that your breath was wasted
Don't speak too soon on your doubts, you're making
A big deal out of a little thing
Why should I try to conform to formulated paths?
When clearly all my instincts led to something more magical?
Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow
Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke
Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before
And all your idle teaching and your criticism lack
The potential to penetrate my solid golden path
To decide what my future is, I'm my own clairvoyant
There's no controlling me
Imagination on ascend
Take me to Venus, let me explode
I'm ready to pop like a volcano
Jump over me like you're playing hot lava
Emotions on one hundred thousand, who's gonna
Shake me like soda creme, but, of course
Use all your words to distract from the source
Of where all the growth on the paper happens
Leave me alone in my own concoction
Pricking all my fingertips to carve out many roads
Pushing out the petals from the bud of what I know
Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow
Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke
Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before
And all my intuition says is, "Expansion comes first"
But not just by material, I'm talking 'bout in here
My heart space and my cranium must be loved too, my dear
Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel
They replaced their search for knowledge
With the reach of many material gains
They lack the tenderness of the sensitive
Empathetic bodies crying from the pain
It's too late to grow their frame
Of mind it seems that it's already made
No use in arguing with someone who doesn't
Wanna prioritize birthing of creation
Am I just a number?
Am I just a number?
Am I just a number?
Am I just a number?
Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal
You push us past our limits just to watch our numbers grow
Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke
Until I prove you wrong which I've done time and time before
And all my intuition says is, "Expansion comes first"
But not just by material I'm talking 'bout in here
My heart space and my cranium must be loved too, my dear
Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel

Numbers - Melanie Martinez
 
Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get the fear that you can′t shift the type
That sticks around like summat in your teeth?
Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Have you no idea that you're in deep?
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
′Cause there's this tune I found
That makes me think of you somehow
And I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

​

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sorta hoping that you'd stay
(Baby, we both know)
That the nights were mainly made
For saying things that you can′t say tomorrow day

​

Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you′ve had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I′m too
Busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you

​

So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart′s still open
And if so, I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt, it′s just I'm constantly on the cusp
Of trying to kiss you
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to

​

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sorta hoping that you′d stay
(Baby, we both know)
That the nights were mainly made
For saying things that you can′t say tomorrow day

​

Crawling back to you (crawling back to you)
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? (You′ve had a few?)
'Cause I always do (′cause I always do)
Maybe I'm too busy (maybe I′m too busy)
Busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sorta hoping that you'd stay
(Baby, we both know)
That the nights were mainly made
For saying things that you can′t say tomorrow day
(Do I wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see you go)
Ever thought of calling darling?
(Do I wanna know?)
Do you want me crawling back to you?
 
I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black

I see the girls walk by
Dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
Until my darkness goes
