Nicotine Love by Jewel

go ahead touch me like that
the way you pull my hair back
go ahead breathe me in
bite me till i bleed
this love is like barbed wire
running through my veins
nicotine love
go ahead hurt me like that
i've been hurt before
i won't be fixed again
i'm not afraid to sweat
cause i like the pain and it's familiar to me
and more gentle than most men can ever be
nicotine love
but don't get me wrong
i don't want a friend
just need you here to help me
satisfy this childish sin
this insatiable desire
hunger so deep
you will melt on my tongue
and i will put you to sleep
and i'll press you like petals
till you're fragile and thin
and i'll breathe you in
nicotine love
and it hurts just right
not to know your name
but feel that body beneath me struggling
as though some way it were the same
as when i was with him
gonna make you a promise that you'll keep
then i will crush your little heart
because i can
because it happened to me
nicotine love
so come here baby
my honey, cutie pie
let my fingers swim like pale fish through your hair
so i
can tell you that i love you
you're safe
never let you go
you wonder why it is up here
but patience
soon it will be all too clear
nicotine love
so go ahead touch me like that
the end is drawing near
go ahead hurt me that way
don't even know enough to fear
you don't know how true it is
when you say
my kisses are sweet as death
but soon you'll have no more options
it's all you have left
cause this love is like barbed wire
i'm electric and so alone
so come here stray cat
i'm gonna uh take you home
and i will press you like petals
till you're
fragile and thin
and i'll
well i'll
breathe you in
nicotine love

Never Is A Promise by Fiona Apple

you'll never see the courage i know
its colors' richness won't appear within your view
i'll never glow the way that you glow
your presence dominates the judgements made on you
but as the scenery grows, i see in different lights
the shades and shadows undulate in my perception
my feelings swell and stretch i see from greater heights
i understand what i am still to proud to mention - to you
you'll say you understand, but you don't understand
you'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye
but never is a promise and you can't afford to lie
you'll never touch these things that i hold
the skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
you'll never feel the heat of this soul
my fever burns me deeper than i've ever shown to you
you'll say, don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems
you'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high
but never is a promise and you can't afford to lie
you'll never live the life that i live
i'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
you'll never hear the message i give
you'll say it looks as though i might give up this fight
but as the scenery grows i see in different lights
the shades and shadows undulate in my perception
my feelings swell and stretch i see from greater heights
i realize what i am now to smart to mention to you
you'll say you understand, you'll never understand
i'll say i'll never wake up knowing how or why
i don't know what to believe in
you don't know who i am
you'll say i need appeasing when i start to cry
but never is a promise and i'll never need a lie

The Great Below - NIN

staring at the sea
will she come
is there hope for me
after all is said and done
anything for any price
all of this for you
all the spoils of a wasted life
all of this for you
all the world has closed her eyes
tried faith all worn and thin
for all we could have done
and all that could have been
ocean pulls me close
and whispers in my ear
the destiny i've chose
all becoming clear
the currents have their say
the time is drawing near
washes me away
makes me disappear
and i descend from grace
in arms of undertown
i will take my place
in the great below

Slow Like Honey by Fiona Apple

you moved like honey in my dream last night
yeah, some old fires were burning
you came near to me and you endeared to me
but you couldn't quite descern me
does that scare you? i'll let you run away
but your heart will not oblige you
you'll remember me like a melody
yeah, i'll haunt the world inside you
and my big secret gonna win you over
slow like honey, heavy with mood
i'll let you see me, i'll covet your regard
i'll invade your demeanor
and you'll yield to me like a scent in the breeze
and you'll wonder what it is about me
it's my big secret keeping you coming
slow like honey, heavy with mood
though dreams can be deceiving
like faces are to hearts
they serve for sweet relieving
when fantasy and reality lie too far apart
so i stretch myself across, like a bridge
and i pull you to the edge
and stand there waiting
trying to attain
the end to satisfy the story
shall i release you?
must i release you?
as i rise to meet my glory
but my big secret gonna hover over your life
gonna keep you reaching
when i'm gone like yesterday
when i'm high like heaven
when i'm strong like music
cuz i'm slow like honey, and heavy with mood

Excess Baggage by Staind

well i know the words
but i can't really speak them to you
and i hide all the pain
that i've gained with my wisdom from you
and i'm eaten alive by what i hold inside
all the things that i live with
i can't easily hide
and i'm left here with nothing
nothing to live for but you
it's not easy to hide all this damage inside
i'll carry it with me until i'm not alive
when you look at my face
does it seem just as ugly to you
i can't seem to erase
all the scars that i've lived with
for you
i'm so sick of this place
and its taste in my mouth
cuz of you i can't figure
what i'm all about
and i'm left here with nothing
nothing to live for but you
it's not easy to hide
all this damage inside
i'll carry it with me
until i'm not alive
