Playlist

The Tower (Vienna Teng)
She turns up the light
Anticipating night falling tenderly around her
Watches the dusk
The words won't come
She carries the act so convincingly
The fact is sometimes she believes it
She can be happy with the way things are
Be happy with the things she's done

And yet I need not to need
Or else a love with intuition
Someone who reaches out to my weakness
And won't let go


Landscape (Florence + The Machine)
She can't see the landscape anymore
It's all painted in her grief
All of her history etched out at her feet

I wanna give you back the open sky
Give you back the open sea
Open up the ages, darling, for you to see

You put the gun into your mouth to bite
You pull it and spit out
Cause it's running in the family
All the richer between you and me


Tonight (Lykke Li)
Watch my back so I make sure
You're right behind me as before
Yesterday the night before tomorrow
Dry my eyes so you won't know
Dry my eyes so I won't show
I know you're right behind me

I'm falling deeper by the hour


Gentle Execution (Bear McCreary)
Instrumental

Shake It Out (Florence + The Machine)
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me


Hunters and the Wolves (Delta Goodrem)
And in many years in solitary
I'm captured by the enemy
I tried, I tried, everything just to survive
I'm living the life of someone else who wouldn't even save himself

What did I know
I had my eyes closed for what it seemed like an eternity
Hungry eyes were preying on me
But didn't you know, I wanted to go
I know you saw them wanting me and now I love them dangerously

The wolves come out, circling me
The hunters hunt, stamping their feet
I'll play my game of hide and seek
But who will it be
Who will it be


Eclipse (All Yours) (Metric)
Other lives always tempted to trade
Will they hate me for all the choices I've made
Will they stop when they see me again?
I can't stop now I know who I am

Now I'm all yours, I'm not afraid
And you're all mine, say what they may
And all your love I'll take to the grave
And all my life starts


Cannonball (Vienna Teng)
There's still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that i can't see what's going on

And it's not hard to fall
And i don't want to scare him
It's not hard to fall
And i don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know


Happier (A Fine Frenzy)
Quick kid quip, so harsh and cynical
Touches stricken, cold and clinical
What a transformation to behold
But I don't like this new, I want the old

Lie to convince me that I'll be better off
So, you go on and I'll be happier, I'll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You'll be gone and I'll be happier

Shoot me with your rubber bullets
Your finger's on the trigger, pull it
I know you want this suffering to end
So it is forgivable my friend


Dust to Dust (The Civil Wars)
Oh, you're acting your thin disguise
All your perfectly delivered lines
They don't fool me
You've been lonely, too long

You've held your head up
You've fought the fight
You bear the scars
You've done your time
Listen to me
You've been lonely, too long

Let me in the walls
You've built around


Vienna (The Fray)
Maybe in five or ten yours and mine will meet again
Straighten this whole thing out
Maybe then honesty need not be feared as a friend or an enemy
But this is the distance
And this is my gameface

There's really no way to reach me


Old Friend (Sea Wolf)
Old friend come back home
Even though you always were alone
You had to push against the fates

Just to make it
Make it through the gate

I know you
Don’t believe me
When I believe in you
I know it could get much easier
If you want it to


Feel The Silence (Goo Goo Dolls)
And if we feel the silence
Holding this all inside us
Looking for something more to say

We've been so lost for so long
I don't know how to get back again
And we're drowning in the water
That flows under this bridge
When you're fighting the current
You forget how to live
And I wanted to reach you but I don't know where to begin


Heavy In Your Arms (Florence + The Machine)
I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown

And is it worth the wait
All this killing time?
Are you strong enough to stand
Protecting both your heart and mine?

Who is the betrayer?
Who's the killer in the crowd?
The one who creeps in corridors
And doesn't make a sound


Exit Wounds (The Script)
My hands are cold, my body's numb
I'm still in shock, what have you done?
My head is pounding, my vision's blurred
Your mouth is moving, I don't hear a word

Marks of battle, they still feel raw
A million pieces of me, on the floor
I'm damaged goods, for all to see
Now who would ever wanna be with me?


In This Shirt (The Irrepressibles)
Overcast by your shadow
As our worlds move on
In this shirt I can be you
To be near you for a while

There's a pain it does ripple
Through my frame makes me lame
There's a thorn in my side
It's the shape it's the prize
Of you and me ever-changing
Moving on now moving fast
And this touch must be wanting
Must become free to act

On the wind I can hear you
Call my name held the sound
I am lost


Never Let Me Go (Florence + The Machine)
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
In the crushes of heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me

Though the pressure's hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
And now I am under all


It's Not Your Fault (Athlete)
It's not your fault
You didn't see it coming
Ninety miles an hour
Gone so fast and now you're left with nothing
At all

I'm not gone
What the hell just happened here?
I'm not gone
What the hell just happened?
