Running Down 02:57
|| Lyrics || Her footsteps do wonders when you’re to follow. Contentment is the key, though it never seems to be wasted all on me. Well, have you ever seen – The fear in someone’s eyes when they’re to follow? So, wipe her smile gone. See, it doesn’t change a thing. It doesn’t make you think that somewhere down the line something might go right. Well, have you ever wondered if you’ve got more to give? Tell it like it is or just don’t say anything. Hide yourself away to fight it out again. And tell yourself you’re beautiful. Never been a fan of surprises, they always let you down. I need expectation – let’s keep the days coming round. Let’s keep the days coming round. Let’s keep the days coming around. Oh, I’m running, running down. Oh, I’m running, running down. Oh, I’m running, running down.

|| Lyrics || Are you happy staring at the wall? Is it everything you’ve wanted and more? We talk about our futures all the time. We talk about them like we haven’t any doubts. I wish that you would see yourself the way I see you now. I wish that time we spent apart was time well spent. There are moments where I wish that I had more to say. I wish that you would see yourself the way I see you now. I wish that time we spent apart was time well spent. There are moments now I know that I’ve got more to say. This is the state of my mind, just make it all go away. It’s alright, don’t be afraid because I will do anything for you. Oh no, I can’t do anything right. This is the state of my mind, just make it all go away. It’s alright, don’t be afraid because I will do anything for you. Oh no, I can’t do anything right.

|| Lyrics || It's too late to go back to bed. You check the time just to know it's there. You've got the rest of your life to tell it - you're not fooling anyone. See, life's been good to me, really missed your chance to have everything. You've got the rest of your life to dwell. You know, I know, we're not fooling anyone. Three years on my first degree, four more 'til the salary. I've been spending my time trying to find myself. I'm a trust fund baby slouch. Gee, that feels good to say aloud. You think you're a champ? You give up the most, but come out on top. It's too late to go back to bed. You check the time just to know it's there. You've got the rest of your life to tell it - you're not fooling anyone. You really are your mother's son, casting shadows over everyone. You know you really don't look too well. You know, I know, we're not fooling anyone. Turned back 'cause I lost my way. Saw you kissing behind the stage. I wipe the blood off my nose with the back of my hand. So you start spinning lies, leaving him ashamed inside. You think you're a champ? You give up the most, but come out on top. You've got the rest of your life to dwell. It's too late to go back to bed, you check the time just to know it's there. (Spend the rest of your life as somebody else. What damage is done?) Turned back 'cause I lost my way. Saw you kissing behind the stage. (You think you're a champ? You give up the most but come out on top) It's too late to go back to bed, you check the time just to know it's there. (Spend the rest of your life as somebody else. What damage is done?) Turned back 'cause I lost my way. Saw you kissing behind the stage. (You think you're a champ? You give up the most but come out on top) It's too late to go back to bed. You check the time just to know it's there.

|| Lyrics || I’ve never really been a fan of goodbyes. I didn’t know you all that well. How many weeks does it take to find the heart? I guess it just takes forty-four. You know, I thought your dad was cold when we met. Turns out he knew your fate too well. What gives you the right to leave this way? Oh, who am I to speak? Pull your big box heart Pull it close to mine. Pull your big box heart Pull it close to mine. I didn’t know you all that well Pull your big box heart. You know I thought your dad was cold Pull it close to mine. What gives you the right to leave this way? Pull your big box heart. What gives you the right to leave this way? Pull it close to mine. What gives you the right to leave this way? Pull it close to mine. What gives you the right to leave this way? Pull it close to mine. What gives you the right to leave this way? Pull it close to mine. What gives you the right to leave this way? Pull it close to mine. What gives you the right to leave this way? What gives you the right to leave this way? What gives you the right to leave this way? What gives you the right to leave this way?

Death Note 06:51
|| Lyrics || It came down from heaven, it fell through the sky. It landed on campus, was picked up by Light. A curious thing, this book’s not for reading. A Sunday school in Shinjuku with ten kids or more. A gunman takes them hostage. He deadlocks the door. Light writes his name down. And the man dies of a heart attack right there on the spot. It’s a curious thing as he saves all those children. He runs out of paper, he runs out of time. Blinded by power, blinded is Light. He’d kill his own father If it meant he could end L forever. And it’s with that same book that he saved all those children. She’d half her own life for the death angel’s eyes just to show that she loves him. High on his throne but profoundly alone. He is and he always will be somebody’s hero. I lie here awake and I put pen to page, and I stop before writing anyone down. And with each new day I would feel, in a way, That I was alone at fault for the death of those children. Tell me what will you do when the Death Note, it comes for you? There’s a Kira inside you. There’s a Kira inside you. There’s a Kira inside you. There’s a Kira inside you. There’s a Kira inside you.

|| Lyrics || I am here alone again. Will I fall in love again? I’m breaking promises for fun. So why do you believe in me still? It’s too late. You are now alone again. But you’ll fall in love again. You finally feel clued in about it. So now we live in borrowed time, it’s you. It’s too late. Just try your best with someone else, oh yeah. It’s too late. Just try your best with someone else, oh yeah. (so, why do you?) It’s too late. We tried our best, there’s nothing left, oh yeah. (so, why do you?) It’s too late. Just try your best with someone else, oh yeah. (so, why do you?) It’s too late. (so, why do you?) It’s too late just try your best (so, why do you?) It’s too late just try your best (so, why do you?)

|| Lyrics || Who’s to blame for your life? Get your mind off of mine. Who’s to thank for this life? Yeah, you will find. Oh, yes, you’ll find it’s not enough. I was alone. You said I needed you. But you didn’t say how long. You said I lied. Get your mind off of mine. Yeah, you will find. Oh, yes, you’ll find it’s not enough. But you didn’t say how long. You said I lied. I still need you sadly, I still need you sadly, I still need you. I still need you sadly, I still need you sadly, I still need you. (who’s to blame) I still need you sadly, (for this life, yeah) I still need you sadly, (Get your mind) I still need you sadly, (off of mine) I still need you sadly, (off of mine) I still need you sadly, (off of mine) I still need you sadly, (off of mine) I still need you.

|| Lyrics || I tried to write it down. But you would rather, I type it instead, it’s easier read. You tried to make me change. Is that what you want from me? Get out of my house and leave us alone. He’s nine. Don’t make him choose. Don’t raise your hand to me. No, I won’t back down, not in front of the kid. You push. I dropped my son. Look what you made me do. I’d rather type than write. I run with my son to the park. Do I look like a dog? Keep away from the kid. Do I look like a dog? Keep away from the kid? Do I look like a dog? Keep away from the kid? But do I look like a dog to you? Keep away.

|| Lyrics || Have you no clue? The more you get angry, the more I love you. And since I met you, my whole world turned lighter. Light shone from you. Now that I’ve got the best thing, I’ve got - you’re the best thing, oh, god. All that I do is to say that you love me. To say I love you. Now that I’ve got the best thing, I’ve got - you’re the best thing oh, god. All that I do is to keep me from knowing, It’s wasted on you.
