"Stop" lyrics
"Stop"
I know a sickness, ancient and cross
No crucifix could ever fix enough
In the basement of a church these people, they talk
There is a line that must be walked
If you wanna make it stop, then stop
I know a place where the future is denied
I know a hand that twitches inside
For some of us the glass is filled with lights
But if the honey makes you sick
Honey, there is the line that must be walked
If you wanna make it stop, then stop
Stop
Slow down, you don't have to talk
Lie down, breathe, stop
Slow down, it's not your fault
Look around, there's so many of us
There's so many of us, you are not alone
Ever, ever, ever
Stop
Call in the backup and the backup comes
Nobody can help you if you won't
Inside your chest, your heart is just hurt
Behind your eyes, a need replaced a want
I know a sickness so ancient and cross
A crucifix can never fix enough
I know a past when the future is lost
I know a line that must be walked
There is a darkness and there is a light and there is a choice
For a balance to be made every night, a weakness must be found
If you want it to stop
Stop, stop

The New Basement Tapes - "Down On The Bottom" Down on the bottom
Down to the last drop in the cup
Down on the bottom
No place to go but up
Always been in trouble
Nearly all my life
Always been in trouble
Struggle, scorn and strife
Go find me...
The National - "Fake Empire" Stay out super late tonight
Picking apples, making pies
Put a little something in our lemonade
And take it with us
We're half awake in a fake empire
We're half awake in a fake empire
Tiptoe through...
Old 97's - "Salome" Salome, uncross your heart
I know what goes on inside, it's over before it starts
Well I'll stay all night, I'll wait right here
Full moon might work magic, girl but I won't disappear
And I'm tired...
Kathleen Edwards - "Asking For Flowers" It's complicated
Technically I'm certified
A walking declaration
Of everything I couldn't get right
Time is just an anchor
But 7 years I think I'm right
Now you've changed your number
It's...
Nathaniel Rateliff - "And It's Still Alright" It ain't alright, the hardness of my head
Now, close your eyes and spin around
Say, hard times you could find, it
Ain't the way that you want
But it's still alright
Late at night, do you lay around...
