Dashboard Confessionals -- Vindicated

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine ahead has caught my eye
And roped me in so mesmerizing
It's so hypnotizing
I am captivated
I am

Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so
Isolated so
Motivated I am
Certain now that I am

Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

So tired of the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment for forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim
Against the current

So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away

Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

My hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption

Matchbox Twenty -- Disease

Feels like you made a mistake
You made somebody's heart break
Now I have to let you go
I have to let you go

You left a stain
On every one of my good days
But I am stronger than you know
I have to let you go

No one's ever turned you over
No one's tried to ever let you down
Beautiful girl, bless your heart

I got a disease
Deep inside me
Makes me feel uneasy
Baby, I can't live without you
Tell me, what am I supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from me
Don't pay no attention to me
I got a disease

Feels like you're makin' a mess
You're hell on wheels in a black dress
You drove me to the fire
And left me there to burn

Every little thing you do is tragic
All my life before was magic
Beautiful girl, I can't breathe

I got a disease
Deep inside me
Makes me feel uneasy
Baby, I can't live without you
Tell me, what am I supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from me
Don't pay no attention to me
I got a disease

Yeah, well, I think that I'm sick
But leave me be while my world is comin'
down on me
You taste like honey, honey
Tell me, can I be your honey
Be, be strong
Keep tellin' myself that it won't take long
'Til I'm free of my disease
Yeah, free of my disease
Free of my disease
Oh

Yeah, well, I got a disease
Deep inside me
Makes me feel uneasy
Baby, I can't live without you
Tell me, what am I supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from me
Don't pay no attention to me
I got a disease

Yeah, well, I think that I'm sick
But leave me be while my world is comin'
down on me
You taste like honey, honey
Tell me, can I be your honey
Be, be strong
Keep tellin' myself that it won't take long
'Til I'm free of my disease
Yeah, free of my disease
Set me free of my disease
Whoa, yea

Bon Jovi -- Something to Believe In

I lost all faith in my God, in his religion too
I told the angels they could sing their songs to someone new
I lost all trust in my friends
I watched my heart turn to stone
I thought that I was left to walk this wicked world alone

Tonight I'll dust myself off
Tonight I'll suck my gut in
I'll face the night and I'll pretend
I got something to believe in

And I had lost touch with reason
I watched life criticize the truth
Been waiting for a miracle
I know you have too

Though I know I won't win
I'll take this one on the chin
We'll raise a toast and I'll pretend
I got something to believe in

If I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe the Pope
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe in dope
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin
In a world that gives you nothing
We need something to believe in

If I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe the Pope
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe in dope
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin
In a world that gives you nothing
We need something to believe in
