I am in misery
There ain't nobody
Who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah

She's done it for a living before

The night is split by the whistle of my amber whip
And the fire from my fingers

Got a motel and built a fort out of sheets

If you wanna make it number one your number 2 now

And you can tell everybody that this is your song

Every once and a while I post a "what I'm listening to lately" entry, and now is one of those times. I'm not saying this stuff is new, but it's on my iTunes a lot of late.

1. Bones by Editors
In the end all you can hope for
Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through

2. I've Been Asleep For a Long, Long Time by Hey Rosetta!
All the schools that I went to have all been closed
And all of my teachers are dead I suppose
The songs that we sung have all gone quiet
What happens below as you sleep at night?

3. This Heart's On Fire by Wolf Parade
Sometimes they rock and roll
Sometimes they stay at home and it's just fine

4. Maybe It's Just Me by Butch Walker
And I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry,
But I can live without you if it makes you smile

Every day's a Monday now that you're gone

I'm not feeling very well and don't feel too much like blogging today. Instead, I'm going to share a cover of Taylor Swift's You Belong With Me by Butch Walker. I recommend checking out some of his original stuff. My favorites are Sober, Don't Move, Mixtape, and Maybe It's Just Me.
