So watch my chest heave
As this last breath leaves me
I am trying to be
What you're dying to see

I feel like "fuck man,
Can't take this, anymore,
This heart, break this."
This is life that's so thankless,
How could he just forsake us?

Breaks us he makes us
Hate us he gave us
Nothing but no trust
And I am so fucked up
So let this gun bond us
Let's hide by this lust
And once we are just dust
He'll know that he loved us

Let it all burn
I will burn first
God I've tried, am I lost in your eyes?
Just let me burn, it's what I deserve.
God I've lied, am I lost in your eyes?

So take me and make me
Weakened and save me
This hate that you gave me
Keeps saying the same thing

To sing when you hurt
And to sing when you cry
To sing when you live
And to sing when you die

And here at the end
At the end of the hurt
All the pain ain't the same
When it's your turn to burn
We're the heart for the heartless,
The thoughts for the thoughtless,
The eyes for the eyeless
We're the gods of the godless!

Let it all burn
I will burn first
God I've tried, am I lost in your eyes?
Just let me burn, it's what I deserve.
God I've lied, am I lost in your eyes?

So cry 3 tears for me,
When it's all gone,
Sing me this song

So cry 3 tears for me,
When it's all gone,
When it's all gone

I can not stand
Who I am I'm this man
With this blood on my hands
In this blood I am damned
So watch my wings burn
As they burn in the fire
I'll scatter the ashes
No need for the choir

Let it all burn
I will burn first
God I've tried, am I lost in your eyes?
Just let me burn, it's what I deserve.
God I've lied, am I lost in your eyes?

This hate that you gave me keeps saying
Just let me burn,
Just let me burn

This hate that you gave me keeps saying
Just let me burn,
Just let me burn

Burn
Now
Burn

Just let me burn
Now
Burn

Burn!

    Its not up to God where you'll end up after you're dead. Its up to you and the things you do as a person and to others. Any religion is a decision made by its believer, I dont knock any of them. I love God and the things that happen in life arent up to us, I could pray all day and live the most honest life but still die tomorrow from a hemroid infection. But hey shit happens =] And atleast I know where Im going and I dont leave that up to God. Its my decision and Heaven's for me. Biitches.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
