manchester orchestra - my friend marcus

my friend marcus, he sleeps in my basement
his father touched more then spirit
now he can hardly sleep, sleep

i dont give a shit if you're lonesome
i think that you should go home son
find your father and meaning

now i can see
you mean everything to nothing
now i believe
you mean everything

my friend marcus, he works on a train set
and i still cant move on my broke track
he's helping me find my meaning
eventually and hopefully we'll see

and now i can see
i mean everything to nothing
now i believe
i mean everything

its funny how many don't know
how many of us don't have homes

ani difranco - wish i may

it's a stiff competition
to see who can stay up later 
the stars or the street lights
and all i really want
is to be alone with the darkness
no more wish i may
no more wish i might

it takes a stiff upper lip 
just to hold up my face
i gotta suck it up and savor
the taste of my own behavior
i am spinning with longing
faster then a roulette wheel

this is not who i meant to be
this is not how i meant to feel
