American Tune by Paul Simon

 Many's the time I've been mistaken

And many times confusedYes, and I've often felt forsakenAnd certainly misused
Oh, but I'm alright, I'm alrightI'm just weary to my bonesStill, you don't expect to be bright and bon vivantSo far away from home, so far away from home
And I don't know a soul who's not been batteredI don't have a friend who feels at easeI don't know a dream that's not been shatteredOr driven to its knees
But it's alright, it's alrightFor we lived so well so longStill, when I think of theRoad we're traveling onI wonder what's gone wrongI can't help it, I wonder what has gone wrong
And I dreamed I was dyingI dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedlyAnd looking back down at meSmiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flyingAnd high up above my eyes could clearly seeThe Statue of LibertySailing away to seaAnd I dreamed I was flying
We come on the ship they call The MayflowerWe come on the ship that sailed the moonWe come in the age's most uncertain hoursAnd sing an American tune
Oh, and it's alright, it's alright, it's alrightYou can't be forever blessedStill, tomorrow's going to be another working dayAnd I'm trying to get some restThat's all I'm trying to get some rest

Burn It Down by Linkin Park

 The cycle repeated

As explosions broke in the skyAll that I neededWas the one thing I couldn't find
And you were there at the turnWaiting to let me know
We're building it up to break it back downWe're building it up to burn it downWe can't wait to burn it to the ground
The colors conflictedAs the flames climbed into the cloudsI wanted to fix thisBut couldn't stop from tearing it down
And you were there at the turnCaught in the burning glowAnd I was there at the turnWaiting to let you know
We're building it up to break it back downWe're building it up to burn it downWe can't wait to burn it to the ground
You told me yes, you held me highAnd I believed when you told that lieI played soldier, you played kingAnd struck me down when I kissed that ring
You lost that right to hold that crownI built you up but you let me downSo when you fall, I'll take my turnAnd fan the flames as your blazes burn
And you were there, at the turnWaiting to let me know
We're building it up to break it back downWe're building it up to burn it downWe can't wait to burn it to the ground
When you fall, I'll take my turnAnd fan the flames as your blazes burnWe can't wait to burn it to the groundWhen you fall, I'll take my turnAnd fan the flames as your blazes burnWe can't wait to burn it to the ground

Boys Don't Cry by The Cure

 I would say I'm sorry

If I thought that it would change your mindBut I know that this timeI have said too muchBeen too unkind
I tried to laugh about itCover it all up with liesI tried to laugh about itHiding the tears in my eyes'Cause boys don't cryBoys don't cry
I would break down at your feetAnd beg forgiveness, plead with youBut I know that it's too lateAnd now there's nothing I can do
So I try to laugh about itCover it all up with liesI try to laugh about itHiding the tears in my eyes'Cause boys don't cryBoys don't cry
I would tell you that I loved youIf I thought that you would stayBut I know that it's no useAnd you've already gone away
Misjudged your limitsPushed you too farTook you for grantedThought that you needed me more, more, more
Now I would do most anythingTo get you back by my sideBut I just keep on laughingHiding the tears in my eyes'Cause boys don't cryBoys don't cry
Boys don't cry
