Come Crying

feel the thunder, hear it roar
like a knock on mcgonagall’s door
see i don’t ever come up empty
no i won’t ever come up empty
fly so far from here
i’m dying
come crying
fly so far from here
i’m dying
come crying
come crying
st. mungo’s life-lights flicker dim
shadowed faces hover grim
look, i don’t ever run on empty
see i can’t ever run on empty
fly so far from here
i’m dying
come crying
fly so far from here
woah
i’m dying
come crying
in the darkness of the day,
lifted fragile from the ground
at the slightest touch of skin
all the horrors crack, unbound
utter shattered, twisted scream
while the wind howls all around
i’m as broken as the sound
never been this low before
stuck and staring at the door
but i won’t ever come up empty
see i don’t ever run on empty
fly so far from here
i’m dying
come crying
fly so far from here
woah
i’m dying
come crying
come crying
give me a month and i’ll be
back in action, the
star attraction
of all the things i feel
give me a month and i’ll be
back in action
the star attraction
of all the things i fear

sometimes weird is weird
and that is not cool
politics is tricky,
you do not think like i do
and although we go to the same school
i cannot be seen with you
i’m sorry, table’s full
it’s uncomfortable but true
that i would not be friends with
luna lovegood
standing out so hard
like you do not give a shit
while i make fun of you
where you can’t hear it
you don’t seem to know
how embarrassed you should be
your opinions are too loud
and they lack validity
no, i would not be friends with luna lovegood
and you would not be friends with luna lovegood
and we would not be friends with luna lovegood
‘cause sometimes we think we’re better than we are
we like to say we’re open-minded
but a challenger shows who we really are
i hate that i am not surprised that
i would not be friends with luna lovegood
and you would not be friends with luna lovegood
and we have not been friends to luna lovegood
loony, loony lovegood
luna
lovegood

i think i like you, i think you like me too
sure i’ll go to hogsmeade with you
but you don’t want to talk, you’ve got better things to do
better things to do, so i guess i’ll find some, too
but would you let me down,
would you let me down easy?
would you let me down,
would you let me down easy?
i’m not afraid of the truth
i’m afraid of what adults can do to kids
we were supposed to be safe here
we were supposed to be safe here
we were supposed to be safe here
but they will let you down
they will let you down easy
they will let you down
they will let you down easy
please be gentle, i’m
a little broken
a little bruised
but i’m still standing
please be gentle, i’m
being open
trusting you again
i know why i fight
i know why i fight
i fight for cedric
i fight for justice
i fight for cedric
i fight for just us
i fight for cedric
i fight for justice
i fight for cedric
i fight for just us
i fight for all of us
all of us
remember cedric diggory
(we remember, we remember)
remember cedric diggory
(we remember, we remember)
did we forget so easily?
(we remember, we remember)
remember cedric diggory
and if i die tonight
(we’ll remember, we’ll remember)
if i die tonight
(we’ll remember, we’ll remember)
would you let me down easy?
easy?
would you let me down
would you let me down
easy

mum said,
be the best that you can be and
dad said
listen to authority
and i - i was inquisitive
a curious child
curioser by the day
my magic was mild
i was never meant to save the day
but i - i was inquisitive
do what you’re told, millie
don’t be so bold, millie
slytherin stands for certain things
do what you’re told, millie
don’t be so bold, millie
follow the rules, don’t be a fool
i was inquisitive
new teacher came
finally a chance to shine
the inquisitor
she took a like to me and mine
so i - i was inquisitive
a new decree:
different means for different ends
the chosen ones
had always looked down on my friends
so i - i was inquisitive
do what you’re told, millie
don’t be so bold, millie
a slytherin stands for certain things
do what you’re told, millie
don’t be so bold, millie
follow the rules, don’t be a fool
i was inquisitive
caught up in the action, punishing infractions
power can go to your head
suddenly it’s livable, something unforgivable
maybe we should lay low instead
caught up in the action, punishing infractions
power can go to your head
suddenly it’s livable, something unforgivable
maybe we should disband instead
do what you’re told, millie (i fight fists-first)
don’t be so bold, millie (i’ll make it hurt)
a slytherin stands for certain things (is that what you wanted me to be)
do what you’re told, millie (i fight fists-first)
don’t be so bold, millie (i’ll make it hurt)
follow the rules, don’t be a fool (is that what you want from me?)
i was inquisitive
i’m sure there’s a time, oh, but this is no place to be inquisitive
look, i keep making mistakes, but this is how i was shaped,
i was inquisitive
maybe my parents were right,
i'll use my fists when i fight
i was inquisitive

can we lose our past? i don’t think so
but the kids in class will learn and grow
you hope for the best, or you could make it so
we used to think we were so
cool, cool, cool, cool, cool
we used to think we were so
cool, cool, cool, cool, cool
we used to think we were so
cool, cool, cool, cool, cool
we used to think we were so cool
it’s easy to keep it up
if you don’t look deep, just turn and bluff, yeah
it’s easy to keep it up
but it’s braver to look than jump
we used to think we were so
cool, cool, cool, cool, cool
when you’ve got a platform,
you’ve gotta be careful how you use it
‘cause people will see what you’re made of
what you’re made of
what you’re afraid of
what are you afraid of?
we used to think we were so
cool, cool, cool, cool, cool
we used to think we were so
cool

i know it’s been a long time since i wrote you
i know it’s been a long time since i called
but sister dear, i swear i won’t forget you
i need to know you’re safe and far from harm
just hold on
just hold on
hold on
i know what i’m leaving behind
and my mind is filled with sadness
and my heart holds old romances
but i know what i’ve got in my sights
and my lungs expand with gladness
and my heart is set on loving you
cause i want what i want
what i want, what i want
yes i want what i want
what i want, and i want you
come, come to the sea
stay with my lover and me
we’ll keep you safe from the dark
we’ll hold you close in our hearts
forever
come, come to the shore
leave all your weight by the door
i know there are things you can’t share
but rest from the weight that you bear
come on
come, come to the sea
come, come to the sea
the sea
the sea

it’s been so long
i’d almost forgotten the feeling
of being left behind
ron thinks i’m in love with harry
who thinks i can solve all his problems
except for the ones that i can
which he insists on handling all by himself
‘cept he can’t, he’s got no clue, he’s drowning
and dumbledore left us these clues
but they’re no help, the runes
lead me backward, and i don’t know what else to do
god i’m useless, i’m trying, that’s more than
i can say for others who will not be named
‘til i name them, it’s ron, he’s driving me
up the walls of the tent, we’re all crawling,
will somebody help us? what happened to all the
responsible adults?
oh.
i stole all their memories
they’ll never remember me
i stole all their memories
they’re going to hate me
we’re not gonna make it out alive
i’ll never be
good enough
for you
i’m wrong, i’m wrong
i’m done waiting
no, i’m done waiting
i’m done waiting
no i’m done waiting
for you
for you
for you

i found out you died
when they left your baby on my doorstep
what a cruel surprise
a terrible surprise
you were always one to make an exit
this family
was the one thing i had going for me
this family
was the one thing i had going for me
this family
was the one thing i had going for me
of course you had to ruin this one too
we had no choice
we had no choice
we had no choice
we had no choice
i had no choice
i had no choice
i had no choice

you made a choice
you made a choice
you made a choice
you made your choice

you made your choice
and i still resent you
i’ll resent him too

when i look at the stars
i wonder
what it would be like
if you survived
yeah, i wonder
how you would have changed
or if we could somehow have
stayed the same
‘cause it’s been days
it’s been weeks
of me just crying myself to sleep
it’s been years
and i think i lost your laugh
you couldn’t haunt me more
if you were a ghost, if you were a ghost
you couldn’t haunt me more
if you were a ghost, if you were a ghost
if you were
what’s the point of divination
if all we see is a broken nation
of broken hearts and broken dreams
but we were made of stronger things
what’s the point in divination
if all we see is devastation
if what’s left of you is the best of me
then we’re left standing in-between
oh, oh, oh, oh
you couldn’t haunt me more
if you were a ghost, if you were a ghost
you couldn’t haunt me more
if you were a ghost, if you were a ghost
if you were
never
will i ever
forget her
no never

when i was little girl
i opened up my eyes
and the world
was magic
a million sounds, a million sights
kaleidoscope of light
the world fantastic
i love it all
i love it all
i love it all
yes i
i love it all
i love it all
i love it all
we all walk a crowded path
hold your head up, don’t look back
keep the fire blazing
people come and people go
when they hold your heart, you’ll know
it’s amazing
i love you all
i love you all
i love you all
yes, i
i love you all
i love you all
i love you all
i’m sorry for the things
that i’ve done wrong
i will do better
are you sorry for the things
that you’ve done wrong?
will you be better?
i want to be a beacon of the light
to make it bright
to make it better
if all that i’ll remember is this life
i’ll make it right
i’ll make it better
i love you all
i love you all
i love you all
(even when you break my heart)
i love you all
i love you all
i love you all
and harry
my harry
my baby boy
my pride and joy
harry
you’ve come into this world
you make it right
you make it better
harry
you’ve come into my life
you make it right
you make it better
and anyone who hurts you
anyone who tries
don’t cry,
i’ll make it better
anyone who hurts you
anyone who tries
don’t cry,
i’ll make it better
i love you
i love you
i love you
my baby boy
if all that i’ll remember is this life
well, that’s all right

The Odds Are Never In Our Favor
by District 13 Cowboys
My friends from Hawthorn and Holly released this genre-spanning Hunger Games album, and even let me contribute backing vocals to a few tracks! It really rocks out hard.

With You, Whatever Happens
by Lauren Fairweather
supported by 17 fans who also own “Sad Songs for Sad Girls in Hogsmeade”
A long-awaited wizard rock album from a pioneer of the wrock community. Mostly wrock, but there are some other nerdy songs thrown in, though they don't disrupt the cohesion. Lauren is always awesome, and if you liked her previous music, you will enjoy this fuller sound even more.

The Complete Potion
by The Mudbloods

It's (almost) all the Mudbloods songs! What more could you ask for?

supported by 12 fans who also own “Sad Songs for Sad Girls in Hogsmeade”
It's so hard to pick a favourite! Ashley has such a capable, soul-stirring voice, and I love the concept of this album as a setlist on wizard radio. I do love 'Hey Dude', but in the end I have to pick 'Bring Them Home', because it's such a tender, gorgeous song about one of my favourite characters.

The tender UK psych folk on “Continuum” explores motherhood through song.
