"Hurts Like Heaven" lyrics
"Hurts Like Heaven"
Carved in a railing on a bridge in the park
Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?
It's so cold, so cold
Written in marker on the factory sign
I struggle with the feeling that my life is not mine
And on the way to the airport a withering rain
And the sense that the sky is eroding away
And still I won't let go
Still I won't let go
Can I use my heart like a weapon?
The pallor of lights on the M25
Sucks heat from my blood, and the life from alive
It's so cold, so cold
Billowing waves in the wind in the dark
A crack in the hull and a shower of sparks and
Then I lose control
And it sighs in the heater
And it sings in the drain
A repeater goes dark and the signal degrades
Still I can't let go
Still I won't let go
And I see my heart like a surgeon
Can I use my life like a weapon?

Okkervil River - "It Was My Season" Tell me a reason
To break things off,
Or stop the bleeding,
When it's my season.
My mind was just revving.
Your eyes, they went hard.
Our parents were freaking,
But it was our season,
All that time...
The Hold Steady - "The Ambassador" While you were in Michigan
She was pretty much living in
A 3.2 bars a stretch to call a club.
It was called The Ambassador
She was pretty much crashing there.
The space between the skin and all her...
Midlake - "The Old And The Young" Time will have warranted all that the foliage brung
Falls to the ground at the feet of the old and the young
Tired and worn from a life made of wallow and pain
Of what will be made is all that...
J Mascis - "Me Again" Tell me everything you heard
Daunting and a bit unsure
Fields have gotten insecure
Gotta take it on your word
Said my mind is overrun
Said I'm free again
No, it cannot be undone
Not 'til I'm free...
