THIS IS MY CHANCE
TO SHINE
Song: "Folding Chair"
Artist(s): Regina Spektor
Now I've been sitting on this abandoned beach for years
Waiting for the salty water to cover up my ears
But every time the tide comes in to take me home
I get scared and I'm just sitting here alone
Dreaming of the dolphin song

Song: "Manchester"
Artist(s): Kishi Bashi
(I really want to put all of the lyrics here because I love them so much but I'll just type two sections)
I wrote me a book
I hid the last page
I didn't even look
I think I locked it in a cage
Wrote a novel
'cause everybody likes to read a novel...
--
I read the signs
I haven't been this in love in a long time
The sun is up the sun will stay
All for the new day
--
Will you be mine?
The days are short and I wrote me my last rhyme
All the streets are warm today
I read the signs
I haven't been in this love in a long time.
(I put three, oh well >: D )

Song: "Yellow Light"
Artist(s): Of Monsters and Men
I'm looking for a place to start,
But everything feels so different now.
Just grab a hold of my hand,
I will lead you through this wonderland.
--
Somewhere deep in the dark
A howling beast hears us talk.
I dare you to close your eyes
And see all the colors in disguise.

Song: "Cough Syrup"
Artist(s): Young the Giant
Life's too short to even care at all, oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control, oh oh
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum
Oh
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now

Song: "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)"
Artist(s): Arcade Fire
They heard me singing and they told me to stop
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
These days my life, I feel it has no purpose
But late at night the feelings swim to the surface
Video:
Song: "Shiny Happy People"
Artist(s): R.E.M.
Meet me in the crowd
People, people
Throw your love around
Love me, love me
Take it into town
Happy, happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine

Song: "Sorceress Girl"
Artist: SoGreatandPowerful
Many a waltz spun awkwardly out of the rain
she was an anxious refrain.
Takin' your time with the imperceptible
Beautiful myths of becoming animal
Wasp to the orchid, orchid to the winter
Regress is to move towards lesser difference.
Memories of a sorceress girl
Endless fascination with the secrets of the world.Video:
Song: "Karma Chameleon"
Artist(s): Culture Club
Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and greenVideo:
Song: "House of Gold"
Artist(s): Twenty One Pilots
I will make you queen of everything you see,
I'll put you on the map,
I'll cure you of disease.
Let's say we up and left this town,
And turned our future upside down.
We'll make pretend that you and me,
Lived ever after happily.Video:
Song: "Poet"
Artist(s): Bastille
I have written you down,
Now you will live forever,
And all the world will read you,
And you will live forever,
In eyes not yet created,
On tongues that are not born,
I have written you down,
Now you will live forever.Video:
Song: "Such Great Heights"
Artist(s): Postal Service
And that frankly will not fly.
You will hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
When this is guiding you home
They will see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
"Come down now," but we'll stay...Video:
Song: 40 Winks
Artist(s): Griffinilla + SoGreatAndPowerful
though she'll never get to dream
who needs all that forgetting
there's a tapestry of stars
look how thankless they are
