And the embers never fade in your city by the lake...

Aaand another song-posting, seems like I can't stop myself these days. With the new season starting I have a fresh supply of TVD-songs every week, and with certain people (whose taste in music is excellent, period) posting videos on twitter ... I just can't help it. Whenever I "conciously" listen to bands who have been around for ages for the first time, and they're good, I always feel like I missed out on something. 

Either way, here's to the Smashing Pumpkins ^^

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave
Without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change, the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
That life can change, that you’re not stuck in vain
We’re not the same, we’re different
Tonight, tonight,
so bright tonight
And you know you’re never sure
But you’re sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there’s not a chance tonight
Tonight, tonight
So bright tonight
We’ll crucify the insincere tonight
We’ll make things right, we’ll feel it all tonight
We’ll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight
[Smashing Pumpkins]

I don't hear a sound...

Hello, hello, anybody out there?

'Cause I don't hear a sound

Alone, alone

I don't really know where the world is but I miss it now

I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name

Like a fool at the top of my lungs

Sometimes when I close my eyes

I pretend I'm alright but it's never enough

'Cause my echo, echo is the only voice coming back

My shadow, shadow is the only friend that I have

Listen, listen

I would take a whisper if that's all you have to give

But it isn't, isn't

You could come and save me

Try to chase it crazy right out of my head

I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name

Like a fool at the top of my lungs

Sometimes when I close my eyes

I pretend I'm alright but it's never enough

'Cause my echo, echo is the only voice coming back

My shadow, shadow is the only friend that I have

I don't wanna be down and

I just wanna feel alive and

Get to see your face again once again

Just my echo, my shadow - you're my only friend

I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name

Like a fool at the top of my lungs

Sometimes when I close my eyes

I pretend I'm alright but it's never enough

'Cause my echo, echo, oh my shadow, shadow

Hello, hello

anybody out there?[Jason Walker]

Misplaced trust and old friends, never counting regrets

A drop in the ocean,

A change in the weather,

I was praying that you and me might end up together.

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,

But I'm holding you closer than most,

'Cause you are my heaven.

I don't wanna waste the weekend,

If you don't love me, pretend

A few more hours, then it's time to go.

As my train rolls down the East Coast,

I wonder how you'll keep warm.

It's too late to cry, too broken to move on.

And still I can't let you be,

Most nights I hardly sleep.

Don't take what you don't need from me.

It´s just s drop in the ocean,

A change in the weather,

I was praying that you and me might end up together.

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,

But I'm holding you closer than most,

'Cause you are my heaven.

Misplaced trust and old friends,

Never counting regrets,

By the grace of God, I do not rest at all.

New England as the leaves change;

The last excuse that I'll claim,

I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl.

And still I can't let you be,

Most nights I hardly sleep,

Don't take what you don't need from me.

It´s just s drop in the ocean,

A change in the weather,

I was praying that you and me might end up together.

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,

But I'm holding you closer than most,

'Cause you are my

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no.

Heaven doesn't seem far away.

Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no.

Heaven doesn't seem far away.

A drop in the ocean,

A change in the weather,

I was praying that you and me might end up together.

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,

But I'm holding you closer than most,

'Cause you are my heaven.

You are my heaven [Ron Pope]

I've learned to live half alive...

I know I can't take one more step towards you

Cause all that's waiting is regret

And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore

You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live half alive

And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are

Running 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Who do you think you are

I hear you're asking all around

If I am anywhere to be found

But I have grown too strong

To ever fall back in your arms

I learned to live half alive

And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are

Running 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Don't come back at all

And it took so long just to feel alright

Remember how to put back the light in my eyes

I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed

Cause you broke all your promises

And now you're back

You don't get to get me back

And who do you think you are

Running 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Don't come back at all

And who do you think you are

Running 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Don't come back at all

Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?
