Pain without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care

Leave, don't leave me
Walk around and choose your own ground

Long you live and high you fly
Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
All you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Run, rabbit, run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one

For long you'll live, and high you'll fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave

(Hadestown was AMAZING!!! Did you ever listen to the off-broadway cast? I kind of miss the pre-Broadway versions of the Epics)

(unfortunately I have not)

Eleanor Rigby
Died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie
Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

(unfortunately I have not)

(They’re all over YouTube! I’ll post Epic III in the What are you listening to thread)

I don’t belong to you
The moon is the only friend I have outside
One more drink, and I’ll be healed
I told you the words, and I knew it was a lie

I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see, baby, this is perfection?

Perfection to D is quite essential
He has to live up to his potential

They told me all of my cages were mental
So I got wasted like all my potential
And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
I have a lot of regrets about that
I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
Fell behind on my classmates, and I ended up here
Pouring out my heart to a stranger
But I didn't pour the whiskey


I just wanted you to know that this is me trying

Oh brother, I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you 'cause I don' know what to do
Oh brother, I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future, and I wanna talk to you
Oh, I wanna talk to you

You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done

I have never agreed with Jefferson once
We have fought on like seventy-five diff’rent fronts
But when all is said and all is done
Jefferson has beliefs. Burr has none

I tip my hat to none
With a whoop and a holler and a dime and a dollar
I'm a lucky son of a gun.

I'm just a rollin' stone, I wander on my own,
And always take my own advice
I've traveled every trail, and never been in jail
‘Cos I've deserved it once or twice

TWICE!

What is love?

And I loved you
Yes, I loved you

I'd have followed anywhere you led

I woke to swear my love
And found you gone instead

And I loved you (how I loved you)
And I left you (how I loved you)
And I had to, both of us knew why (we both knew why)
And yet I won't regret
From now until I die
The night I can't forget
Beneath a moonless sky

(oof it's that cursed musical lol)

Love on the beach and the tide is high
Ooh, ooh
Moon in the water and the open sky
Ooh, ooh

I just wanna stay
Another night, another day
We could wash the world away
We could play like children play

(It really is)

Without you
The ground thaws
The rain falls
The grass grows

Without you
The seeds root
The flowers bloom
The children play
The stars gleam
The poets dream
The eagle flies

Without you
The earth turns
The sun burns
But I die

We were crazy to think
Crazy to think that this could work
Remember how I said I'd die for you?
We were stupid to jump
In the ocean separating us
Remember how I'd fly to you?

And I can't talk to you when you're like this
Staring out the window like I'm not your favorite town
I'm New York City
I still do it for you, babe
They all warned us about times like this
They say the road gets hard and you get lost
When you're led by blind faith, blind faith
