I believe in love, it's all we got Love has no boundaries, costs nothing to touch War makes money, cancer sleeps Curled up in my father and that means something to me Churches and dictators, politics and papers Everything crumbles sooner or later But love, I believe in love I believe in love, it's all we got Love has no boundaries, no borders to cross Love is simple, hate breeds Those who think difference is the child of disease Father and son make love and guns Families together kill someone Without love, I believe in love Without love I wouldn't believe In anything that lives and breathes Without love I'd have no anger I wouldn't believe in the right to stand here Without love I wouldn't believe I couldn't believe in you And I wouldn't believe in me Without love I believe in love I believe in love I believe in love Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Bernie Taupin / Elton John

See this ancient riverbed See where all my folly's led Down by the water and down by the old main drag I was just some tow-head teen Feeling 'round for fingers to get in between Down by the water and down by the old main drag The season rubs me wrong The summer swells anon So knock me down, tear me up But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup Down by the water and down by the old main drag Sweet descend this rabble 'round The pretty little patter of a seaport town Rolling in the water and rolling down the old main drag All dolled up in gabardine The lash-flashing Leda of pier nineteen Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag The season rubs me wrong The summer swells anon So knock me down, tear me up But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup Down by the water and down by the old main drag The season rubs me wrong The summer swells anon So knock me down, tear me up But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup Down by the water and down by the old main drag Down by the water and down by the old main drag Down by the water and down by the old main drag Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Colin Meloy

I'll be fine. Myself Help me find myself One way or the other I swear You got the gift of overstimulation In Slumlord City And all this time, the time was now We're here for the feeding However demeaning He who owns the freedom taps the well You don't have to use that look to judge me I've got a shame like no one else No one else One way or the other I swear Swallow that trauma Destroy your pity And help yourself to all this hell (help) You don't have to use that lie to keep me Don't count on faith to ride this out Relay that message This wreckage is blessed I'll be fine. Myself Help me find myself One way, or the other, I swear Thank you No really, thank you Thank you No really I'll be fine. Myself Help me find myself

Covert narcissists are very difficult to recognize and even more difficult to expose. They can appear wounded, gentle, and even vulnerable. They attempt to appeal to your empathy. The initial lack of overt arrogance can derail fears or suspicions. They epitomize, a wolf in sheep's clothing ... It’s interesting to see where you seek out validation. Placated by those snakes and rehearsing your best take. And all that you're asking for is everyone to just hear it one more time because obviously if someone doesn't get it the first time they must not have heard you at all. Repetition, conditioning, is key. And of course, by all means, you’re ever so entitled to what you want from me. To get what you want again To take what you want again Your royal highness You’re full of shit Weaponizing victim Starve a narcissist A grandiose with meat hooks Let’s have a fit Proud to be the villain Starve a narcissist Alright, ok. Let’s turn this all around, again. It’s obviously me and/or everyone else that’s the problem. Absolutely nothing you could be doing, not doing, or doing better. Got it. You know what a narcissist can’t fucking fake? When that ego takes over. Even when a covert manipulator learns a behavior, all you gotta do is set your boundaries. Tell them no. Watch how that cruel spirited, little cry baby comes raging out. Your royal highness You’re full of shit You weaponize the victim Starve a narcissist A grandiose with meat hooks Let’s have a fit Proud to be the villain Starve a narcissist Yeah, yeah, yeah dig it all out A parasitic ego don’t host itself Do the world a favor And choke Do the world a favor And choke on this

I heard you driving in my car Then in a frozen bar I claimed I didn't care for you But your verse got trapped inside my head Over and over again You played yourself to death in me I thought I'd drop you easily But that was not to be You burrowed like a summer tick So you invade my sleep And confuse my dreams Turn my nights to sleepless itch Stuck on you, til' the end of time I'm too tired to fight your rhyme Stuck on you, til' the end of time You've got me paralyzed Holding on the telephone I hear your midrange moan You're everywhere inside my room Even when I'm all alone I hear your mellow drone You're everywhere inside of me Stuck on you, til' the end of time I'm too tired to fight your rhyme Stuck on you, til' the end of time You've got me trapped I can't escape Your incessant whine When you beam it out All across the sky No I can't escape Your insipid rhyme When you shoot it deep Straight into my mind Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Greg Edwards / Ken Andrews
