Bloc Party - She’s Hearing Voices

She’s hearing voices call her
She’s hearing voices warn her
She just can’t sleep in her bed
She just can’t sleep
She’s falling down the stairs
She’s tearing out her hair
She’s screaming my name, in the night
To keep her warm

She got a red pill blue pill red pill blue pill red pill blue pill red pill blue pill - Milk of amnesia

And she screams out my name
In the dead of the night
She is leaving my room
She is crying on her side
Walking on eggshells
Walking on glass
Burnt by the mirror
Burnt by the light
Feeling rejection I’ll burn down your house
Tearing down posters
I was never alive.

Queens of the Stone Age - Everybody Knows That You’re Insane

You wanna know why you feel so hollow
Because you are
You’re missing out
Well if you say so
Then you’re missing out

Everybody knows that you’re insane
Everybody knows that you’re insane

You wanna know just how long you can hide from
What you are - Not very long
I have been lost down every road i follow
out in the dark - On my way home

Everybody knows that you’re insane
Everybody knows that you’re insane
Everybody knows that you’re insane
Everybody knows that you’re insane

The Killers - Smile Like You Mean It

Save some face, you know you’ve only got one
Change your ways while you’re young
Boy, one day you’ll be a man
Oh girl, he’ll help you understand
Smile like you mean it - Smile like you mean it

Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren’t what they used to be
Some things sat by so carelessly

Smile like you mean it -Smile like you mean it

And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did

Smile like you mean it.
