Learning to hate is always easier than learning to love.
That's why humans are so self-destructive.

Lullaby for the Taken - Kimya Dawson

Bombs are dropping, smoke fills the air
i wanna duck and cover but i've gotta stay out here
'cause i know myself and if i hole up in my room
i'll be consumed by the doom and the gloom

so i called john 'cause i know he knows sorrow
he said "i'll be in the city tomorrow"
so i go down and i watch him sing
and the way he sings sends a chill right through me, yeah

and now there's a mountain goat
precariously balanced on the frog stuck in my throat
it says "sometimes whispering's okay,
but maybe you'd feel better if you screamed today"

the lady took the baby
i know she loves the baby
but the baby has a daddy
and his daddy loves him too
how could she take the baby?
maybe she's gone crazy
she won't share
it's not fair
there's nothing i can do

the lady took the baby
i know she loves the baby
but the baby has a daddy
and his daddy loves him too
how could she take the baby?
maybe she's gone crazy
she won't share
it's not fair
there's nothing i can do

tuesday night grandma curled up in my bed
by wednesday morning my grandma was dead
i was in charlotte, i took the bus home
her shoes, watch, and teeth were still in my room

and as i lay me down to sleep i felt her spirit rise up through me
she said "i got to live a long eighty six years, dry your tears.
i know it's hard but please let go so i can meet your grandpa in the undertow
chin up girl, you've got to be strong, and know when you're singing i'm singing along"

the lady took the baby
i know she loves the baby
but the baby has a daddy
and his daddy loves him too
how could she take the baby?
maybe she's gone crazy
she won't share
it's not fair
there's nothing i can do

the lady took the baby
i know she loves the baby
but the baby has a daddy
and his daddy loves him too
how could she take the baby?
maybe she's gone crazy
she won't share
it's not fair
there's nothing i can do

little bitty baby so far away
we hope that you can come home soon
when we're not together, now or ever
always remember i love you

little bitty baby so far away
we hope that you can come home soon
when we're not together, now or ever
always remember i love you

Breeze blows from treetops to tease sensation
wonder in your imagination
wondering where she can be
it feels so cold as you go when you leave
you're a dandelion blown on the breeze
wondering where you could be

A wisp at the window
she whispers and into the air we fly
so fly oh dandelion fly
yes it's time
it's time for you to fly

oooh

You watch them for hours
from slates and clock towers
the lives below
but your life is other
of lovers and mothers oh wooh wooh

breeze blows from rooftops to your destination
trapped in your imagination
she's all you can see
black loch water you miss her
oh god how you miss her so
hallam foe oh dandelion blow
yes it's time dandelion fly

Ring around the roses
A pocketful of posies
Ashes, ashes
We all fall down

Ring around the roses
A pocketful of posies
Ashes, ashes
They left without a sound

Me around them besties
A pocketful of posies
Oopsies, oopsies
I shot them down.

Questions I can't seem to find
To the answers I already have.

rain reminds me of you.
i feel so cold.

i never figured out
if it was you who left me
or the other way around.

i never knew
who gave up on it
and said goodbye
first.

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
