Nightingale
By Saves The Day
And I will flail under these lights,
That seep down from the bitter sky tonight
And I will kick, and beat my wrists together
And feel an ocean breathing waves,
Feel them licking at my face
Ceilings don’t exist, and there are no floors beneath me
If I were king of this night, would you become my queen?
And I hope, your majesty, that you like your position
I’ll do everything I can, to keep you by my side
And I’ll stare off through the darkness, to find us a kingdom
Just kiss me before I go
I’ll have to walk a thousand miles
Just to find the ground deserving of your feet
You could throw me down, and walk on me
And I’d just look on through my love, and through the haze
And I hope, your majesty, that you like your position
I’ll do everything I can, to keep you by my side
And I’ll stare off through the darkness, to find us a kingdom
Just kiss me before I go
The nightingales are singing now
They’re calling out our marriage
To our subjects on their knees
Their jewelery is thrown into the air
They sigh at their release
As their shackles hit the ground
The trumpets call out now
We’re home at last
And I hope, your majesty, that you like your position
I’ll do everything I can, to keep you by my side
And I’ll stare off through the darkness, to find us a kingdom
Just kiss me before I gowww.sleepundergroundtonight.blogspot.com

Overboard
By Ryan JohnstonWas it something that we engraved,
Or was it carved into us?
At bedtime, forever loved
Hanging onto the tail, of tales
If we could be a part of it
If we could feel the love..
And if things didn’t work out,
Could we become what we let go?
Could we let it go?
Was it speechless?
Calling feeling to that control
Was it everything, that you’d hoped for?
Leaving estranged,
All you knew were strangers
Leaving what you recall
Ending, broken down
Never on board,
But you’ll go over one
You’ll go overwww.sleepundergroundtonight.blogspot.com

Press Play To Listen To, Mud Hill - By Samiam
Mud Hill
By Samiam
Car windows icing over
Speaking steam, with your breath
Through the floating strands of your hair
Am I just like the rest?
You say you don’t want anyone, or anything
Say this hurts you too
I wouldn’t bother, but this means everything to me
So spare me now
Rehearse the words you say
Repeat them again, as you see my driveway
While searching for something more
Beyond this lonely hill
I pretend to hear you
Act as if I understand
I try to convince you, I don’t hate you
But it’s hard to do
You say you don’t want anyone, or anything
Say this hurts you too
I wouldn’t bother, but this means everything to me
So spare me now
Rehearse the words you say
Repeat them again, as you see my driveway
While searching for something more

Pals
By Pygmy Lush
Chewing on trash, fluorescent blues
Don’t eat the food, don’t even move
Just get on your feet
Didn’t put up a fight, didn’t even try
Just sat and waited, completely fleeced and baited
But no. No Sir
Pals, thru and thru, huddled in a violent room
Carving on the wall with broken fingernails
Laying on the floor, a toilet with no door
In the unknown, when I get lonesome
Some how you help me feel
Man, I feel
Pals, thru and thruwww.sleepundergroundtonight.blogspot.com

Ghosts Of Fallen Stars
By Ryan Johnston
Shoreline, cloak and dagger sky, clear when you could see
Both of us moving now, drifting wreckage in the waves
And the current beneath us breathes, like an underwater wind
Pulling you away from me
On these Summer nights, with a kingdom fast asleep
The ghosts of fallen stars, haunt a restless galaxy
Like a cemetery view, from a window in your room
Endings are all I see
Old photographs, they dangle on a string
Frozen imagery, hooked to summertime dreams
A picture that you carved, never moving from your arm
Anchored to memories
Spring is a waiting room,
Waiting for a turn
Winters heavy eyes
Falling like her crown
She’ll leave with an avalanche
Gaining weight and speed
A suicidal drive
Always instilled in me
And I’m, daydreaming again
Something, that I have never been
And there is no order here
Nothing left for me
The cadence to my heart
Seems to have lost it’s beat
There are no time machines
No needles or thread
Only broken glass
That won’t reflect or mend
And I’m, unable to stay afloat
A heavy chest, gold turned into stone
And I will ponder this
You’ll fall for someone else
I will mourn the loss
Of what to you, does not exist
I’m on the ocean floor
You’re shining through the waves
You cemented my heart
Something, that is permanentwww.sleepundergroundtonight.blogspot.com

Guilt
By Pygmy LushThe guilt of the world is here
And more than my thinking, has me dying
It’s got me dying
The pain in our arm, is aiming out
The breeze of the heart won’t lie down
Won’t lie down
Don’t cry, my day
Don’t cry, my day
Don’t cry, my daywww.sleepundergroundtonight.blogspot.com

Air
By Sparta
Apathy falls in the ocean
At least we went down fighting
At the bottom of the ocean
This scenery can fail calm
Up till now been riding fine, yeah
But the curving walls leave me behind, yeah
Do you remember the days?
Did you forget those days?
What would the odds makers say?
Would the odds makers say?
We’re drinking on jet streams, through to
Ideas won’t happen
Laid out on benches, through to
Sink for this reason
If you see through these motives,
You’ll please report your progress
To the captain, our captain
So he can mark the atlas
Never considered this a prize
But the curving walls leave me behind
Do you remember the days?
Did you forget those days?
What would the odds makers say?
Would the odds makers say?
We’re drinking on jet streams, through to
Ideas won’t happen
Laid out on benches, through to
Sink for this reasonwww.sleepundergroundtonight.blogspot.com

Cemetery Road
By Elevator Division
You and I, and no one else
I thought you were the one
I thought you were the one
A time we’d never need God’s help
I thought you were the one
I thought you were the one
Impatience got the best of us
But love is never wrong
If it’s love, it’s never wrong
Our bodies joined, and became as one.
But how could that be wrong?
If it’s love, it can’t be wrong
Now I’m walking alone
Where the trees bend overhead
Down Cemetery Road
There’s a beautiful silence,
That keeps me alone
Where the trees bend overhead
Down Cemetery Road
There’s a beautiful silence,
That keeps me hanging on
It keeps me hanging on
It’s strange, the claims that lovers make
To promise to always be anything
Is to promise the impossible
Yeah, it’s strange the claims that lovers make
To promise to always be anything
Is to promise the impossible
We promise the impossible
We wish for the impossible
We pray for the impossible
We wait for the impossiblewww.sleepundergroundtonight.blogspot.com

Meet Me In Montauk
By Circa Survive
Leave just as you came (without a sound),
Nothing to ruffle your ends.
I’ve been wandering around,
Making up movies in my head
So we say don’t let it go,
Let me try and pull out pride
I already forget how I used to feel about you
Leave as fast as you came, no invitation
Nowhere to go from here.
I’ve been wandering around,
Wondering how I got so, got so, so fucking boring
All the sudden, so fucking scared… I’m not scared.
You’d mean so much more to me if I remembered.www.sleepundergroundtonight.blogspot.com

Picture-less - By Ryan Johnston
There wasn’t a sound
As it spilled onto the ground
I couldn’t run away
And I knew you wouldn’t stay
The sun bled through winter trees
Without the tourniquet of summer leaves
There was the brightest light
Lighting seared the bleeding sky
Sealing a night so dark
I knew it would always live on
And I would burn alive
Just to be there one more time
If you’d meet me before the fall
When the mirror reflected smiles
Not a million broken eyes
One for every time I tried
The blood on the glass is mine
Asleep, and dreaming of the rain
That washed those things away
That night you came to stay
Darkness litters my thoughts
Looking for the road we lost
The best of times we made
Crumbled bread to mark the trail
But the Ravens stormed like a black hurricane
And they swept that place away
And I would burn myself alive
Just to be there one more time
If you could meet me on top of the wall
Before the mirror was the floor
And reflections were so much more
Than bleeding out in broken glass
Asleep, and dreaming in the rain
Washing all those nightmares away
Every moment next to youwww.sleepundergroundtonight.blogspot.com

Six By Two
By Kill CreekI’ll be back to pull the garden
Spring has proven winter cruel
And all of summer’s beauty, lies there rotting
Stripped like yours, from you
And I know I, can’t stand remembering
The dirt under our fingernails
The silence, your defense
Tired, over tired hand
And we spent December
Given our best shot at hating
But now, as I remember,
We had no reason to abuse
I’ll force God to notice
That he, is giving nothing back
And all of us were wet out in the boneyard
He washed the tears from you
And I know you, deserve none of this
My distance, as we stole flowers from his grave
The silence, my defense
Tired, over tired hand
And I recall the ways
You pretended not to notice
But we both sowed the soil
That grew only what could die
And if you believe,
That I tried only to deceive
You know, that’s not, truewww.sleepundergroundtonight.blogspot.com

Sea Of Teeth
By Sparklehorse
Can you feel the wind of Venus on your skin?
Can you taste the crush of a sunset’s dying blush?
Stars will always hang in summer’s bleeding veins.
Can you feel the rings of Saturn on your finger?
Can you taste the ghosts who shed their creaking hosts?
But seas forever boil, trees will turn to soil.
Stars will always hang in summer’s bleeding fangs
But seas forever boil, trees will turn to soil.Photo By Meghann Keeley Stone

Burn
By The Cure
“Don’t look don’t look” the shadows breathe
Whispering me away from you
“Don’t wake at night to watch her sleep
You know that you will always lose
This trembling adored
Tousled bird mad girl… “
But every night I burn
Every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again
“Oh, don’t talk of love.” The shadows purr.
Murmuring me, away from you.
“Don’t talk of worlds that never were.
The end, is all that’s ever true.
There’s nothing you can ever say.
Nothing you can ever do… “
Still, every night I burn
Every night, I scream your name
Every night I burn,
Every night, the dream’s the same
Every night I burn,
Waiting for my only friend
Every night I burn,
Waiting for the world to end
“Just paint your face,” The shadows smile.
Slipping me, away from you.
“Oh, it doesn’t matter how you hide.
Find you, if we’re wanting to.
So slide back down, and close your eyes.
Sleep a while, you must be tired… “
But every night I burn,
Every night, I call your name
Every night I burn,
Every night, I fall again
Every night I burn,
Scream the animal scream
Every night I burn,
Dream the crow black dream
Every night I burn,
Scream the animal scream
Every night I burn
Dream the crow black dream
Dreaming the crow black dream
Dreaming the crow black dream

Wish
By Ryan Johnston
Lights for darkened times
Ghosts floating in the clouds
Nightmares wrapped in dreams
Sewn to fit the memories
Stowaway, transplant hearts
Running out of oxygen
A Shipwrecked destiny
In a constellation sea
Falling like an echo
Twisted fairy tales
Singing me to sleep
To the bone-yard underneath
Lighting up darkened eyes
Ghosts blowing in the wind
Stars fall tauntingly
Never wish a thing, again________________________________________________________________

Valentine
By The Get Up Kids
It’s words you forget,
To anniversary songs
The bottles bite back
Your tolerance wrong
Your good intentions
Count for little anymore
If you’re sorry, why wage war?
I’m not fully convinced
That there’s something wrong with this
Could another point of view,
Biased and untrue,
Tear me away from you?
Will you be my valentine?
If i’m a world away?
Apologies are breaking me
The constants,
Aren’t so constant anymore
For two days i wait
For calls to come through
Tonight for me translates
To yesterday, to you
You bend and you wave
When you’re barely away
I wish i could say tonight
That when you bend
And wave goodbye
You’d take me with you
Will you be my valentine?
If i’m a world away?
Apologies are breaking me
The constants,
Aren’t so constant anymore___________________________________________________________

Reflecting off the times we've had. Writing, thinking, dreaming. Trying to capture thoughts, into a cage of words. But, the emotion Of the moment isn't always meant for captivity. It's a wild animal, And it needs space to grow. There is a song for all of these ups, and downs. If you listen closely, you'll know the meaning is there. The harder times seem To come in waves. And after years of this kind attack, I think a person becomes contemplative and creative, or bitter and destructive. God knows, I have been both. In the end, the things that have haunted and affected you rarely seem to make sense, and almost never rest in peace. Although, it's something I have always tried to find.
