Trespassers William- "Tomorrow on the Runway"

Source: asset-f-soup-io

Old days don’t come to find me
This sun is just about to climb
Up over there
While my heart is sinking
I do not want my voice to go out
Into the air
Did you leave the darkness without me?
You’re always miles ahead
And we’re standing in tomorrow
On the runway

Oh be the music in my head
The air around my bed
Oh be my rest
Retrace the smile disgraces
Of the time embraces
That I never really loved
Did you leave the darkness without me?
You’re always miles ahead
And we’re standing in tomorrow
On the runway

Oh I want to fly, fly far around the blue light
To be alive, come alive
Don’t need right, find in try...red light
Turn around, seem always to go my way

Old days don’t come to find me
This sun is just about to climb
Up over there
While my heart is sinking
I do not want my voice to go out
Into the air
Did you leave the darkness without me?
You’re always miles ahead
And we’re standing in tomorrow
On the runway
On the runway

Sia- "Elastic Heart"

And another one bites the dust
Oh why can I not conquer love?
And I might have thought that we were one
Wanted to fight this war without weapons

And I wanted it, I wanted it bad
But there were so many red flags
Now another one bites the dust
Yeah, let's be clear, I'll trust no one

You did not break me
I'm still fighting for peace

Well, I've got thick skin and an elastic heart,
But your blade—it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard,
Yeah, I may snap and I move fast
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart

I've got an elastic heart
Yeah, I've got an elastic heart

And I will stay up through the night
Let's be clear, won't close my eyes
And I know that I can survive
I'll walk through fire to save my life

And I want it, I want my life so bad
I'm doing everything I can
Then another one bites the dust
It's hard to lose a chosen one

You did not break me
(you did not break me, no)
I'm still fighting for peace

[3x]
Well, I've got thick skin and an elastic heart,
But your blade—it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard,
Yeah, I may snap and I move fast
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart

I've got an elastic heart

Ava

Director Ava DuVernay has fast become my new style inspiration... fabulously varied style, impeccable makeup and super cool, beautiful hair... I also like that she's not a size two, but has a perfectly feminine shape and wears clothes that are flattering and fashion forward. I believe she's the first director whose style choices rival if not surpass that of actresses. Brains, beauty and confidence are a winning combination.
