The clock is running out of time, I cannot set,
And I need to feel important,
Reaching up I gotta get this of my chest,
Call this a final warning,
I’m so tired, but I cannot fall asleep,
I’m so hungry, but I cannot bring myself to eat,
I’m holding on to what I wanted way back when,
The emotions gone,
Is it the way it should have been?
The stories are drawn,
Do we erase or just fill in?
All the blanks that are one,
It’s a fabricated mission,

Calm and quiet like a picture to the final floor ,
She waits, the silk seductress,
Does she know I don’t wanna stay,
I could never say that’s its time to move on,

I never said, that I wanted to be saved,
Pass the shovel, here I am to help you dig my own grave,
And I cannot wash away this sand,
Cause I'm down and and pinned,
In a position I never wanted into anyway,

All I got to give to get to gain is time,
And a little frustration,
You set yourself up for this thought she says,
It’s too late because I’ve already finished all the poison,

Hey pretty baby I saw that you liked his smile,
You know that it takes a while, to take some risks,
And I don’t think that I could ever get another chance like,
With a murderous taste upon my lips,
Never really made much sense,
And such a gentle sin is this, made up for time we had spent,
Overdue in a place we never knew,
And in a place we’ve never been,
I’d rather be alone and love to be forgotten,

I never said, that I wanted to be saved,
Pass the shovel, here I am to help you dig my own grave,
And I cannot wash away this sand,
Cause I'm down and and pinned,
In a position I never wanted into anyway,

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
