Posted 3 years agoThe Devil Doesn't Bargain - Alec Benjamin
The devil doesn't bargain
It's useless, don't do this
It's hubris to try
He's ruthless, you knew this
I told you, didn't I?
He's abusive, elusive
The truth is, he lies
I know you don't want to let go
And just like before
I can see that you're sure
You can change him but I know you won't
The devil doesn't bargain
He'll only break your heart again
It isn't worth it, darling
He's never gonna change
He'll never be Prince Charming
He'll only do you harm again
I don't mean to meddle
But the devil doesn't settle
No, the devil doesn't bargain
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Devil doesn't bargain
Mm-mm-mm-mm
I'm not one to lecture
Talk down to a friend
I don't mean to pressure
Mean to condescend
But I just want what's best for
You in the end
I know you don't want to let go
And just like before
I can see that you're sure
You can change him but I know you won't
The devil doesn't bargain
He'll only break your heart again
It isn't worth it, darling
He's never gonna change
He'll never be Prince Charming
He'll only do you harm again
I don't mean to meddle
But the devil doesn't settle
No, the devil doesn't bargain
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Devil doesn't bargain
Mm-mm-mm-mm
And I know you think
He'll change this time
But I think that you will find
The devil doesn't bargain
He'll only break your heart again
It isn't worth it, darling
He's never gonna change
He'll never be Prince Charming
He'll only do you harm again
I don't mean to meddle
But the devil doesn't settle
No, the devil doesn't bargain

Posted 3 years agoJesus In LA - Alec Benjamin
Well, I shook hands with the devil
Down on the south side
And he bought us both a drink
With a pad and a pencil sat by his side
I said, "Tell me what you think"
I've been looking for my savior, looking for my truth
I even asked my shrink
He brought me down to his level
Said, "Son, you're not special
You won't find him where you think"
You won't find him down on sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you're tripping on some pills
When they sold you the dream you were just 16
Packed a bag and ran away
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
Took a sip of his whiskey
Said, "Now that you're with me
Well, I think that you should stay"
Yeah, I know you've been busy
Searching through the city
So let me share the way
I know I'm not your savior
Know I'm not your truth
But I think we could be friends
He said "Come down to my level
Hang out with the devil
Let me tell you, in the end
You won't find him down on sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you're tripping on some pills
When they sold you the dream you were just 16
Packed a bag and ran away
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA"
And that is when I knew that it was time to go home
And that is when I realized that I was alone
And all the vibrant colors from the lights fade away
And I don't care what they say
You won't find him down on sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you're tripping on some pills
When they sold you the dream you were just 16
Packed a bag and ran away
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
I won't find him down on sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when I'm tripping on some pills
When they sold me the dream I was just 16
Packed my bag and ran away
And it's a crying shame I came all this way
'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
And it's a crying shame I came all this way
'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA

Posted 3 years ago"Hell To Pay"- Too Close To Touch
(Featuring Telle Smith of The Word Alive)
Rewind back to then, see I was just a kid.
And I didn't know, oh Mother, where did he go?
And that solemn look she gave, oh God that image stayed.
The pain alive despite disguise, through her trembling lips and bloodshot eyes.
Paralyzed for a moment, bet your life you wouldn't stay.
Better hope we don't cross paths, cause there'll be hell to pay.
I am better without you. You couldn't love what you would undo.
I'm a man today, no thanks to you. All the feeling of regret, I hope you know what you left.
I'll never miss you.
See me, yeah I'm upset. And my brothers wont forget.
Introduced for the first time at 8 years old to a world so cold.
A cowards claim to fame, all for his selfish gain.
But his failed attempts to break our home, made us stronger than we'll ever know.
Paralyzed for a moment, bet your life you wouldn't stay.
Better hope we don't cross paths, cause there'll be hell to pay.
I know I never say it enough, what you did for both of us. You kept me strong.
Its hard enough to see the road that leads us home.
Its hard enough to walk when we cant bear the load, that's on our shoulders.
And when the day tries to break away, its hold on our soul, don't let go.
First time, through a broken life, seconds tick, running out of time.
Where were you when I needed you? You said you'd be there for me through and through.
You said you'd be there for me.
Paralyzed for a moment, bet your life you wouldn't stay.
Better hope we don't cross paths, cause there'll be hell to pay.
There'll be hell to pay. I'm a man today, no thanks to you. There'll be hell to pay.

by For Today
This is a song for the fallen I see you rising again!
Only a coward would run away
Looking for freedom, you only found regret
Only a coward would run away
Leave your past behind you, there is hope ahead!
I see you writhing in pain from all the hell that you've seen,
You left it all for a life that never satisfied you
Unloved by the world you lost it all to conform to,
There's still hope in the voice that's crying out inside you
If you can hear it, you still have time...
Come back to your home, and all you're running from
I'm begging you to come back to your home, and all you're running from
I'm begging you to come back
You are not what you've done, and this is not who you are
No matter how far you run, you have not gone too far
You are not what you've done, and this is not who you are
No matter how far you run, you have not gone too far
Take a deep breath, and swallow your pride
Turn from the path you're on, and conquer the fear inside
Dead men tell no tales
But if you're still alive you can still write your story
Dead men tell no tales
But there is still time for the hard climb to glory
I see you writhing in pain from all the hell that you've seen,
You left it all for a life that never satisfied you
Unloved by the world you lost it all to conform to,
There's still hope in the voice that's crying out inside you
If you can hear it, you still have time
Come back to your home, and all you're running from
I'm begging you to come back to your home, and all you're running from
I'm begging you to come back
You are not what you've done, and this is not who you are
No matter how far you run, you have not gone too far
You are not what you've done, and this is not who you are
No matter how far you run, you have not gone too far
This is a song for the fallen I see you rising again
(Come back home)
Your story isn't over, but one day it will come to an end
Time is running out!
Dead men tell no tales
Make no mistake, time is running out!
Dead men tell no tales
Make no mistake, time is running out!

Posted 3 years agoLet It Be - James Bay
From walking home and talking loads
To seeing shows in evening clothes with you
From nervous touch and getting drunk
To staying up and waking up with you
Now we're slipping near the edge
Holding something we don't need
All this delusion in our heads
Is gonna bring us to our knees
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
And I'll be me
From throwing clothes across the floor
To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you
If this is all we're living for
Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore?
I used to recognize myself
It's funny how reflections change
When we're becoming something else
I think it's time to walk away
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And I'll be me
Tryna fit your hand inside of mine
When we know it just don't belong
There's no force on earth
Could make me feel right, no
Tryna push this problem up the hill
When it's just too heavy to hold
Think now is the time to let it slide
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Let the ashes fall
Forget about me
Come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
And I'll be me
From walking home and talking loads
To seeing shows in evening clothes with you
From nervous touch and getting drunk
To staying up and waking up with you
Now we're slipping near the edge
Holding something we don't need
All this delusion in our heads
Is gonna bring us to our knees
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you

To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you
If this is all we're living for
Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore?
