John Mayer - Slow Dancing In A Burning Room
It’s not a silly little moment,
It’s not the storm before the calm.
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we’ve been working on.
Can’t seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms.
Nobody’s gonna come and save you,
We pulled too many false alarms.
We’re going down,
And you can see it too.
We’re going down,
And you know that we’re doomed.
My dear,
We’re slow dancing in a burning room.
I was the one you always dreamed of,
You were the one I tried to draw.
How dare you say it’s nothing to me?
Baby, you’re the only light I ever saw.
I’ll make the most of all the sadness,
You’ll be a bitch because you can.
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can’t understand.
We’re going down,
And you can see it too.
We’re going down,
And you know that we’re doomed.
My dear,
We’re slow dancing in a burning room.
Go cry about it - why don’t you? [3x]
My dear, we’re slow dancing in a burning room,
Burning room [4x][3x]
Don’t you think we oughta know by now?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?

Sufjan Stevens - Concerning the UFO Sighting Near Highland, IL.
“Oh, history involved itself.”
If hostile aliens were to come to Earth (and god knows why they’d want to land in southern Illinois), I’ll play some Sufjan Stevens for them. They’ll become sullen and melancholy, and at that opportunity I’ll crush their skulls in with my massive ego.

Tilly and the Wall - Rainbows in the Dark
“So I thank the city, the lights that it’s spinning
The friends that I have and the shoes we’re not shining
The drunk horn’s so violent, all spinning out sounds
But the colour’s so vibrant , the colour’s so loud
The newly-born crying realizing what life is
The eyes of my grandfather right before dying
The see-saw of all, its rickety bounce
The feeling of coming, the feeling of going
The mother, the child, the tame and the wild
The sleeping in minor, the gold leaf, the tire
The crooked, the straight, all the hip and the fake
Oh, I’m finally feeling the stitching of beautiful seams”
