• Rise against - Prayer of the refugee

  Warm yourself by the fire, son,
  And the morning will come soon.
  I’ll tell you stories of a better time,
  In a place that we once knew.
  
  Before we packed our bags
  And left all this behind us in the dust,
  We had a place that we could call home,
  And a life no one could touch.
  
  Don’t hold me up now,
  I can stand my own ground,
  I don’t need your help now,
  You won't let me down, down, down!
  
  Don’t hold me up now,
  I can stand my own ground,
  I don’t need your help now,
  You will let me down, down, down!
  
  Down!
  
  We are the angry and the desperate,
  The hungry, and the cold,
  We are the ones who kept quiet,
  And always did what we were told.
  
  But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm,
  In the safety of your home.
  We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up
  Everything you’ve known.
  
  Don’t hold me up now,
  I can stand my own ground,
  I don’t need your help now,
  You will let me down, down, down!
  
  Don’t hold me up now,
  I can stand my own ground,
  I don’t need your help now,
  You will let me down, down, down!
  
  So open your eyes child,
  Let’s be on our way.
  Broken windows and ashes
  Are guiding the way.
  
  Keep quiet no longer,
  We’ll sing through the day,
  Of the lives that we’ve lost,
  And the lives we’ve reclaimed.
  
  Go!
  
  Don’t hold me up now,
  I can stand my own ground,
  I don’t need your help now,
  You will let me down, down, down!
  
  Don’t hold me up now,
  I can stand my own ground,
  I don’t need your help now,
  You will let me down, down, down!
  
  Don’t hold me up…
  (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
  Don’t hold me up…
  (I don’t need your help)
  No! No! No!
  Don’t hold me up!
  (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
  Don’t hold me up!
  (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
  Don’t hold me down, down, down, down, down!

• stare at the sun (acoustic) - thrice

  I sit here clutching useless lists
  And keys for doors that don't exist
  I crack my teeth on pearls
  I tear into the history
  Show me what it means to me in this world
  Yeah in this world
  
  'Cause I am due for a miracle
  I'm waiting for a sign
  I'll stare straight into the sun
  And I won't close my eyes
  Till I understand or go blind
  
  I see the parts but not the whole
  I study saints and scholars both
  No perfect plan unfurls
  Do I trust my heart or just my mind
  Why is truth so hard to find in this world
  Yeah in this world
  
  'Cause I am due for a miracle
  I'm waiting for a sign
  I'll stare straight into the sun
  And I won't close my eyes
  Till I understand or go blind (till I understand or go blind)
  
  I know that there's a point I've missed
  A shrine or stone I haven't kissed
  A scar that never graced my wrist
  A mirror that hasn't met my fist
  But I can't help feeling like
  
  I'm Due for a miracle
  I'm waiting for a sign (waiting for a sign)
  I'll stare straight into the sun
  And I won't close my eyes (and I won't close my eyes)
  
  Due for a miracle
  I'm waiting for a sign
  I'll stare straight into the sun
  And I won't close my eyes
