Florence + the Machine - No Light, No Light

(This is a song that I heard on the radio a few months back. The "bright blue eyes" part caught my attention, since Minoko has a history with those, and the whole song ended up fitting her perfectly!)

You are the hole in my head You are the space in my bed You are the silence in between what I thought And what I said

You are the night time fear You are the morning when it's clear When it's over you'll start You're my head You're my heart

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes I never knew daylight could be so violent A revelation in the light of day You can't choose what stays and what fades away

And I'd do anything to make you stay No light, no light No light Tell me what you want me to say

Through the crowd, I was crying out And in your place there were a thousand other faces I was disappearing in plain sight Heaven help me, I need to make it right

You want a revelation, You wanna get it right But, it's a conversation, I just can't have tonight You want a revelation Some kind of resolution You want a revelation

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes I never knew daylight could be so violent A revelation in the light of day, You can't choose what stays and what fades away

And I'd do anything to make you stay No light, no light No light Tell me what you want me to say

Would you leave me, If I told you what I've done" And would you need me, If I told you what I've become? 'cause it's so easy, To say it to a crowd But it's so hard, my love, To say it to you out loud

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes I never knew daylight could be so violent A revelation in the light of day, You can't choose what stays and what fades away

And I'd do anything to make you stay No light, no light No light Tell me what you want me to say

You want a revelation, You wanna get it right But, it's a conversation, I just can't have tonight You want a revelation Some kind of resolution You want a revelation

You want a revelation, You wanna get it right But, it's a conversation, I just can't have tonight You want a revelation, some kind of resolution Tell me what you want me to say.

((Thanks for starting this thread off, Minoko! You made me remember that there's so many songs out there that I wanted to post. :) This one, in particular, seemed to fit Kingsley pretty well over the last few months and I wanted to put it up before her debut after having her mind swiped (See thread: Whatever Has To Be Done). So here you go and enjoy!))

"Make Me Wanna Die" by The Pretty Reckless

Take me, I'm alive Never was a girl with a wicked mind But everything looks better When the sun goes down

I had everything Opportunities for eternity And I could belong to the night

Your eyes, your eyes I can see in your eyes, your eyes

You make me wanna die I'll never be good enough You make me wanna die And everything you love Will burn up in the light

And every time I look inside your eyes You make me wanna die

Taste me, drink my soul Show me all the things That I shouldn't know And there's a blue moon on the rise

I had everything Opportunities for eternity And I could belong to the night

Your eyes, your eyes I can see in your eyes, your eyes Everything in your eyes, your eyes

You make me wanna die I'll never be good enough You make me wanna die And everything you love Will burn up in the light

And every time I look inside your eyes (Burning in the light) Make me wanna die

I'll die for you, my love, my love I'll lie for you, my love, my love (Make me wanna die)

I'll steal for you, my love, my love (You make me wanna die) I'll die for you, my love, my love We'll burn up in the light

Every time I look inside your eyes I'm burning in the light I look inside your eyes I'm burning in the light I look inside your eyes You make me wanna die

((This is a song that, while IRL is by Evanescense, IC it is written by Quillan and performed by Kingsley. I heard it the other day and realized that this is exactly how Quillan feels about her deceased husband so I wanted to give people a peek inside of the otherwise cold woman and show them some of the pain that lead her to being that way, as well as the hurt that still lingers beneath the facade.))

"My Immortal" by Evanescence

I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave 'Cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me

You used to captivate me By your resonating light Now I'm bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts My once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone But though you're still with me I've been alone all along

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me

Eris

(I did not write this. It was found on the internet and the author given credit. The poem epitomizes my take on Eris.)

Ode to Eris

You are the 'Goddess of Chaos,' or so it is told Threw fabled fruit into a wedding in a move that was bold The Apple of Discord became the fruit's name It was the beginner of much, and your claim to fame

A war in Troy came about from the strife Sending gods into quarrel, much lost mortal life Some heroes arose, but many just fell The world was consumed in a fiery hell

All from a snub, an offer not played You were never allowed to be a bridesmaid Denied invitation for fear of your deeds Unaware, were they, of the contempt this would breed

So easily, Aphrodite fought with Athena and Hera Over who was most pretty when not with mascara For your 'gift,' that was thrown, was inscribed 'to the fairest' Yet failure to claim such a title by a goddess was rarest

None take to consider your part in the war It was not of your doing, others did so much more A simple toss of an object, and the world came undone Gods fought, men slit throats, but you, not a one

A trait of your chaos, that I find whole and true Is that it is not a chooser, it has not a clue From good and to evil, there be not a plan Decisions on such are made simply from man

Yes you put forth the apple, but you wanted a laugh Is it your fault the they went to war on an ill-placed wrath? Leave such to Athena and Ares, siblings of such cause I see innocence in your part, which I give without pause

So heavy a burden has been placed upon thee They blame you for the murder, but fail now to see You watch not for the dead, nor kill them outright Such is for Hades, and those mentioned tonight

Your task is to see that the world remains fair If it was not for you, mortals just would not care Without threat of disaster, there would be no upkeep Whims would be met, causing many to weep

Yet I feel that I must make a true, valid point Chaos is a convergence, paths meet at a joint For every time the unpredictable creates fear in the night A miracle happens, an improbable outcome brings light

You bring about happiness, along with the sad For others to blame you, though, just makes me mad It is but a task done with sever lack of favor Lighthearted intentions, no direct spite to savor

I am not saying, again, that you do without thought But the 'dreadfulness' comes from what others have wrought Your work is innocence, no blood aimed to spill Unpredictable, you may be, but fangs lack to fill

Aphrodite is vain and Athena too stiff Hera, stale too, leaves my mind in a jiff Yet when I think of you, my heart is lost in a stare The apple's recipient was in question, because you were not there

Fall Out Boy - Death Valley

(This song does an amazing job of capturing the mood of Minoko's crazier side while also expressing what she thinks of Rhy'Din.)

I wanna see your animal side Let it all out I wanna see the dirt Under your skin I need your broken promises

I want the guts and glory baby This town is wasted and alone

Cause we are alive Here in death valley But don't take love off the table yet Cause tonight Tonight it's just fire alarms and losing you We love a lot So we only lose a little We are alive

I wanna see your animal side Let it all out Oh there you go; undress to impress You can wear the crown but you're no princess

Let's put the "D' in dirt now baby Let's get you wasted and alone

We're gonna die It's just a matter of time Hard times come Good times go I'm either gone in an instant Or here til the bitter end I never know What I've got will make you feel more alive I'll be your favorite drug I will get you high I will get you high

"Point-Counterpoint" by Streetlight Manifesto

I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't c ock My finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock And even if I could I would never give up... With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung And if and when I die won't you bury me alone" "Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song

If there was something wrong would you be oh so strong" Would you do what it takes to move this hollow life along" I like to think I would, you know I'd like to think I would But I can guarantee that what you see is not reality And every time she makes a point, I make a counterpoint She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice And you know that that's only just the way that it goes You said it right, man, that is just the way that it goes

And the days, and the days they seem like forever And the days, and the days they seem like forever But forever isn't ever enough! I'd like to sing a song Promise you won't be long! I'll try not to be long but I don't want to get this story wrong There was a kid who never cared about the little things Don't even bother because I'm tired, and I'm sick of it And every time she makes a point, I make a counterpoint She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice And you know that that's only just the way that it goes You said it right, man, that is just the way that it goes

I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't c ock My finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock And even if I could I would never give up... With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung And if and when I die won't you bury me alone" "Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song

Oh, you don't know where I've been Oh, you don't know what I've seen!

If I did something right Would you give up this fight" Would you say you were wrong and maybe someone else was kind of right" I'd like to think you would You know I'd like to think you would But I can't guarantee that what you get is an apology Jump back to the day we met I never thought that it would end this way If I ever let you down I want to ask of you To take it down a notch and we can talk it on through

And the days, and the days they seem like forever And the days, and the days they seem like forever But forever isn't ever enough! I'd like to sing a song Promise you won't be long! I'll try not to be long but I don't want to get this story wrong There was a kid who never cared about the little things Don't even bother because I'm tired, and I'm sick of it And every time she makes a point, I make a counterpoint She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice And you know that that's only just the way that it goes You said it right, man, that is just the way that it goes

I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't c ock My finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock And even if I could I would never give up... With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung And if and when I die won't you bury me alone" "Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song

Oh, you don't know where I've been Oh, you don't know what I've seen!

So tell me friend, how's it going to end" When the sh*t goes down and there's no one left around to get your back You'll crack You'll smile and agree with everything they say They'll try to tell you that it's all okay But it's not and you're shot, you're bleeding pretty bad And you can't stop thinking about the things you never had Like a wife, and a kid and the things you never did You're running around You're living a life that's empty in the end, my friend

No, you'll have back all you've said Oh, when the regrets fill your head

Trust me I've been there before I would not wish it upon my greatest enemy What irony! Once friends, but I find You'll have to learn this lesson on your own"

So I waited by the phone, but that phone never rang And I sang so loud that I wouldn't hear the bang When the bang never came and I never got the call F*ck it! Thank you! I love you all! Some are going to say we're doomed to repeat All out past mistakes Great! But that's not me And even if it was, I would always disagree Because in the end I always get the better of me

I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't c ock My finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock And even if I could I would never give up... With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung And if and when I die won't you bury me alone" "Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song

Oh, I'll take you where I've been! Oh, I'll show you what I've seen!

"Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye (feat. Kimbra)

Now and then I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy you could die Told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end, always the end So when we found that we could not make sense Well you said that we would still be friends But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough No you didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records and then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over But had me believing it was always something that I'd done But I don't wanna live that way Reading into every word you say You said that you could let it go And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough No you didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records and then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know

"Think of a reason later" by Lee Ann Womack ((Aviana and how she feels about Martyr.))

It may be my family's redneck nature rubbin" off And bringing out unlady-like behavior It sure ain't Christian to judge a stranger But I don't like her

She may be an angel who spends all winter Bringing the homeless blankets and dinner A regular nobel peace prize winner But I really hate her" "I'll think of a reason later

I drew horns and blacked out her tooth with a marker Childish' Yes. But she made such a thin little target. I couldn't be happier on my own But I've got the slightest of a jealous bone And seeing her with him tends to enlarge it

It may be my family's redneck nature rubbin" off And bringing out unlady-like behavior It sure ain't Christian to judge a stranger But I don't like her

She may be an angel who spends all winter Bringing the homeless blankets and dinner A regular Nobel peace prize winner But I really hate her" "I'll think of a reason later

Inside her head may lay all the answers Of curing diseases from baldness to cancer Salt of the earth and a real good dancer But I really hate her I'll think of a reason later

Fall Out Boy - Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner (Because nothing says Minoko and Emlen quite like masturbation references, lockets and the color blue.)

Drink down that gin and kerosene And come spit on bridges with me Just to keep us warm Light a match to leave me be Light a match to leave me be

I keep my jealousy close 'cause It's all mine And if you say this makes you happy Then I'm not the only one lying

Keep quiet Nothing comes as easy as you Can I lay in your bed all day" I'll be your best kept secret And your biggest mistake The hand behind this pen relieves a failure every day

So wear me like a locket around your throat I'll weigh you down I'll watch you choke You look so good in blue You look so good in blue

Driving Blind by Grace Potter Phoenix, and how she feels about love.

I've been in bed, I've been awake I've been a blamer, and I've been blamed I can't read the answers, if I can't see the page I'm driving blind, when the landscape doesn't change

My eyes get blurry, my faucet runs I wait for my vision but it never comes I can't give you the answers if I can't see your hands I'm driving blind through this barren land

And I never knew, it could get this dark I was the rain that put out your spark I can't read the answers if I can't see the page I'm driving blind behind this bitter rage

Oh, I been so lonely, and ain't it sad To be missing something that I never had" And I been so blind and now I'm paying the cost How can I find, what was never lost"

I've been in bed laying awake I've been a taker with nothing to take I've got no direction, no change in lanes I'm driving blind, I'm pushing through the pain Oh, I'm driving blind

"Running Up That Hill" by Placebo (a Kate Bush cover)

((This song represents how Sai feels about two specific people in his life, who shall remain nameless, in two very different and yet similar ways and reasons.))

It doesn't hurt me You wanna feel how it feels You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me You wanna hear about the deal I'm making

You (Be running up that hill) You and me (Be running up that hill)

And if I only could, Make a deal with God And get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill Be running up that building If I only could

You don't want to hurt me But see how deep the bullet lies Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder There is thunder in our hearts, baby So much shame for the ones we love Tell me, we both matter, don't we?

You (Be running up that hill) You and me (Be running up that hill) You and me won't be unhappy

And if I only could Make a deal with God And get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill Be running up that building If I only could

C'mon, baby C'mon, c'mon, darlin' Let me steal this moment from you now C'mon, angel C'mon, c'mon, darlin' Let's exchange the experience

And if I only could Make a deal with God And get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill With no problems

If I only could Be running up that hill

On my own—From the soundtrack of Les Misrables The song for Orchid and how she views Emlen.

Now I'm all alone again, Nowhere to turn, no one to go to Without home, without a friend Without a face to say "Hello' to

And now the night is near Now I can make-believe he's here Sometimes I walk alone at night, When everybody else is sleeping I think of him and then I'm happy With the company I'm keeping The city goes to bed And I can live inside my head

On my own, pretending he's beside me All alone, I walk with him until morning Without him, I feel his arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me

In the rain, the pavement shines like silver All the lights, are wasted in the river In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know, it's only in my mind, That I'm talking to myself, and not to him And although I know that he is blind, Still I say, there's a way for us I love him

But when the night is over He's gone, the river's just a river Without him, the world around me changes The trees are bare and everywhere streets are full of strangers

I love him, but every day I'm learning, All my life, I've only been pretending Without me, his world would go on turning A world that's full of happiness that I have never known

I love him' I love him" I love him But only on my own?

Kryptonite by Three doors down

I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time But I watched the world slip to the dark side of the moon I feel there's nothing I can do I watched the would float to the dark side of the moon After all I knew, it had to be something to do with you I really don't mind what happens now and then As long as you'll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman" If I'm alive and well will you be there holding my hand" I'll keep you by my side with my super human might. Kryptonite.

You called me strong, you called me weak But still you secrets I will keep You took for granted all the times I never let you down You stumbled in and bumped your head If not for me then you'd be dead I picked you up, and put you back on solid ground

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman" If I'm alive and well will you be there holding my hand" I'll keep you by my side with my super human might. Kryptonite.

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman" If I'm alive and well will you be there holding my hand" I'll keep you by my side with my super human might. Kryptonite.

Yeah, If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman" If I'm alive and well will you be there holding my hand" I'll keep you by my side with my super human might. Kryptonite.

LAKE - No Wonder I

(Emlen called Minoko a "pesoptimist" once. This song properly expresses that mentality.)

No wonder I feel a thousand petals I'm walking by cherry blossoms in the sky Feels exciting to be living No wonder I feel so tired of talking There's so much to take in today

I'm humming like washing machines through the window And feeling glad that I saw you in your favorite jeans Feels so friendly when you say "Hello" No wonder I want to wrap you up and take you home I'm looking forward to the chance to meet again But then again it all depends

Suddenly I'm not so sure That intentions can be pure If I could just throw all my doubts into the wind I think that they'd come back again

Every cloud has a silver lining Every cloud has a silver lining Every cloud has a silver lining Every cloud has a silver lining

Where will you go" By Evanescence. Martyr to Phoenix.



You're too important for anyone.. You play the role of all you long to be... But, I... I know who you really are... You're the one who cries when you're alone.

But where will you go With no one left to save you from yourself" You can't escape, you can't escape..

You think that I can't see right through your eyes Scared to death to face reality No one seems to hear your hidden cries You're left to face yourself alone...

But where will you go With no one left to save you from yourself" You can't escape the truth... I realize you're afraid, but you can't abandon everyone...

You can't escape, you don't want to escape...

I'm so sick of speaking words that no one understands Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone" I can hear you in a whisper but you can't even hear me screaming!

But where will you go With no one left to save you from yourself? You can't escape, you can't escape.. I realize you're afraid But you can't reject the whole world.... You can't escape, you won't escape, you can't escape You don't want to escape....

You're gonna go far, Kid. By The Offspring Emlen to Myles

Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time And turning all against one, is an art that's hard to teach Another clever word, sets off an unsuspecting herd And as you step back into line, a mob jumps to their feet

Now dance f'cker, dance Man he never had a chance And no one even knew It was really only you,

And now you steal away Take him out today Nice work you did You're gonna go far, kid.

With a thousand eyes and a good disguise Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes When you walk away, nothing more to say, See the lightning in your eyes, See 'em running for their lives

Slowly out of line and drifting closer in your sights So play it out, I'm wide awake It's a scene about me

There's something in your way, and now someone is gonna pay And if you can't get what you want, well it's all because of me

Now dance f'cker, dance Man, I never had a chance And no one even knew, it was really only you

And now you'll lead the way, Show the light of day, Nice work you did, You're gonna go far, kid.

TRUST DECIEVED

With a thousand eyes and a good disguise Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes When you walk away, nothing more to say, See the lightning in your eyes, See 'em running for their lives

Now, dance f'cker dance, He never had a chance... And no one even knew, it was really only you So dance, f'cker dance I never had a chance, It was really only you

With a thousand eyes and a good disguise Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes When you walk away, nothing more to say, See the lightning in your eyes, See 'em running for their lives Clever alibies, Lord of the Flies Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes When you walk away, nothing more to say, See the lightning in your eyes, See 'em running for their lives

Kings of Leon - Supersoaker

My motivation is gone too soon Good vibrations all over you Act like you mean it, you mean it You gotta story you never tell Down in the Delta, they're ringing bells I've never seen it, seen it Back of my mind, I'm on my way I see through smiles on every face I don't believe it, believe it

"Cause I'm the super soaker, red white and blew "em all away With the kisses unclean as the words that you say

I don't mind sentimental girls at times Miss don't walk away, walk away

The flags are flying across the Plains I got a secret picking in my brain I wanna see you, see you Yes, the sign is on my face I don't know my home I don't know my place I just wanna be there, be there

"Cause I'm the super soaker, red white and blew ?em all away With the kisses unclean as the words that you say

I don't mind sentimental girls at times Miss don't walk away, walk away I don't mind sentimental girls at times Miss don't walk away, whoa oh oh

I don't mind sentimental girls at times I just lay it on the line, on the line

I don't mind sentimental girls at times Miss don't walk away, walk away I don't mind sentimental girls at times Miss don't walk away, oh oh oh oh

Woke up this morning and it seemed to me, that every night turns out to be A little more like Bukowski. And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read. But God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an assh*le" God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an assh*le"

Well we sat on the edge of the river, the crowd screamed, "Sacrifice the liver!" If God takes life, he's an Indian giver. So tell me now why, you'll tell me never. Who would wanna be? Who would wanna be such a control freak" Well who would wanna be? Who would wanna be such a control freak"

Well see what you wanna see. You should see it all. Well take what you want from me. You deserve it all. Nine times out of ten our hearts just get dissolved. Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.

But one time out of ten, everything is perfect for us all. Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall. Here we go!

If God controls the land and disease, keeps a watchful eye on me, If he's really so damn mighty, my problem is I can't see, well who would wanna be? Who would wanna be such a control freak" Well who would wanna be? Who would wanna be such a control freak"

Evil home stereo, what good songs do you know" Evil me, oh yeah I know, what good curves can you throw"

Well all that icing and all that cake, I can't make it to your wedding, but I'm sure I'll be at your wake. You were talk, talk, talk, talkin' in circles that day, when you get to the point make sure that I'm still awake, OK"

Went to bed and didn't see why every day turns out to be a little bit more like Bukowski. And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read. But God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an assh*le?

Adele— Hiding my heart.

This how the story went, I met someone by accident Who blew me away, blew me away It was in the darkest of my days, When you took my sorrows and you took my pain And buried them away, buried them away

I wish I could lay down beside you, When the day is done And wake up to your face Against the morning sun But like everything I've ever known You'll disappear someday So I'll spend my whole life hiding My heart away

Dropped you off at the train station Put a kiss on the top of your head And watched you away, watched you away And I went on home to my sky scrapers and neon lights and wedding papers that I call home, I call that home..

I wish I could lay down beside you, When the day is done And wake up to your face Against the morning sun But like everything I've ever known You'll disappear someday So I'll spend my whole life hiding My heart away

Woke up feeling heavy-hearted I'm going back to where I started The morning rain, morning rain and though I wish that you were here On that same old road that brought me here It's calling me home, calling home...

I wish I could lay down beside you, When the day is done And wake up to your face Against the morning sun But like everything I've ever known You'll disappear someday So I'll spend my whole life hiding My heart away I can spend my whole life hiding, my heart away...

"Lucky Man" by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

He had white Horses And ladies by the score All dressed in satin And waiting by the door

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers They made up his bed A gold covered mattress On which he was led

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars For his country and his king Of his honor and his glory The people would sing

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him His blood ran as he cried No money could save him So he laid down and he died

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress In a room where you do what you don't confess

Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs

She's been lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream And she don't always say what she really means

Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain

I can picture every move that a man could make Gettin' lost in her lovin' is your first mistake

Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs Sometimes I think it's a sin When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean

Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs

Something I'm not—Megadeth Your mind tells you that you've lost your confidence You're drifting and you don't believe in anyone To lose what little you have left to be proud of, Afraid you can't do this again, ah!

You said that nothing come in-between us The way of getting things we wanted done Then enissophobia held you under it's influence Until you compromised your style

Everything about you has been one big charade What will you do now that the well's run dry' To sell out all your friends and stab them in the back It's something that you are; it's something that I'm not

When you forced me into doing what you love Mark my words no one loves you very much, And when you tried to change me and tried to replace me I couldn't help but end just hating you, hmm!

Being a fraud can only last so long, you should know Till what you sensed as a child returns, To choke out the voice that told you "money and the fame" Would fill the crater that you dug for yourself

Unlike you I'm no vision to myself, lest you forget You didn't ever make medal, buddy; medal made you To crush and run over everyone along the way It's something that you are; it's something that I'm not

A stranger to yourself, ha! you pissed me off again I won't be driven by your needs anymore What you'd become to do or be is clear to see for me It's something that you are; something that I'm not

It makes me sick to hear you say you "love me" I know you only love what I can do for you If you were the one that was leading the charge Would you notice if I missed a day or two' But that's impossible!

We all laughed at the parodies that you've become Now your pain slowly paid back has begun So, accept my resignation, or in your words "betrayal" Before it gets much worse, end this self-sabotage

Something that I'm not, something that you are, something I'm not

Something that I'm not, something that you are, something I'm not Something that you are, something I'm not... Yet.

When you're weary And haunted And your life is not what you wanted When you're trying so hard to find it

When the lies speak the loudest When your friends are starting to leave When you're broken by people like me

I hurt too, I hurt too

When an ocean sits right between us There is no sign that we'll ever cross You should know now that I feel the loss

I hurt too, I hurt too

Even though you are drowning in valley's of echoes I believe there is peace in those hills up ahead You will climb "til you find places you'll never let go And I will also be here praying just like I said

"Wonder" by Natalie Merchant

Doctors have come from distant cities Just to see me Stand over my bed Disbelieving what they're seeing

They say I must be one of the wonders Of god's own creation And as far as they can see they can offer No explanation

Newspapers ask intimate questions Want confessions They reach into my head To steal the glory of my story

They say I must be one of the wonders Of god's own creation And as far as they can see they can offer No explanation

Oh, I believe Fate smiled and destiny Laughed as she came to my cradle Know this child will be able Laughed as my body she lifted Know this child will be gifted With love, with patience and with faith She'll make her way

People see me I'm a challenge to your balance I'm over your heads How I confound you and astound you To know I must be one of the wonders Of god's own creation And as far as you can see you can offer me No explanation

Oh, I believe Fate smiled and destiny Laughed as she came to my cradle Know this child will be able Laughed as she came to my mother Know this child will not suffer Laughed as my body she lifted Know this child will be gifted With love, with patience and with faith She'll make her way

Absolute Zero—Stone Sour

The bloody angle, the symmetry Your cheap adhesive isn't holding me My mouth is a gun I can shoot, I can show you the truth And I don't need a reason to lie to you

No pun intended, no punishment If I offended you, you needed it Ideas are the bombs in your mind, a fissure in time If you don't have a weapon you can't have mine

I can bleed if I want to bleed I can feel if I feel the need This face is my last confession This life, it feels like a prison

Oh ho, I'm not afraid I'm giving into grievances again You're looking at an absolute zero I'm not the devil but I won't be your hero

The catatonic, the sacrilege Your primadonnas are a privilege My God has a need to react, it's as simple as that It's better just to settle and face the facts

I can bleed if I want to bleed I can feel if I feel the need This face is my last confession This life, it feels like a prison

Oh ho, I'm not afraid I'm giving into grievances again You're looking at an absolute zero I'm not the devil but I won't be your hero

One thing that I can't stand Is when the minutes fight the second hand I'll waste a lifetime's worth Just to play to one more day

No f?cking quota, no premiums The world is stuck in delirium Man is a four-letter word, it's really absurd The hate isn't fake, it's just inferred

Oh ho, I'm not afraid I'm giving into grievances again I'm down to absolute zero Another zealot with the weight of the f'cking world

Oh, I'm not afraid And I will let you down as I hold you in You're looking at an absolute zero I'm not the devil but I won't be your hero

Fall Out Boy - Immortals

(It's Min and Em's anniversary today, so I figured I'd post a song that I feel has really resonated with them lately. One of my favorite things about songs applied to fantasy situations is when lines likely meant to be figurative work just as well when you take them literally. <3)

They say "we are what we are" But we don't have to be I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way I'll be the watcher of the eternal flame I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams

I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass I try to picture me without you but I can't

'Cause we could be immortals, immortals Just not for long, for long And live with me forever now, You pull the blackout curtains down Just not for long, for long

We could be immortals, Immortals, Immortals, Immortals

Immortals

Sometimes the only pay-off for having any faith Is when it's tested again and again everyday I'm still comparing your past to my future It might be your wound but they're my sutures

I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass I try to picture me without you but I can't

'Cause we could be immortals, immortals Just not for long, for long And live with me forever now, You pull the blackout curtains down Just not for long, for long

We could be immortals, Immortals

Immortals, And live with me forever now, And pull the blackout curtains down

Do what you want, 'cause you will anyway So why did I even try? The life of a man's like a heart in the sand Washed away in the blink of an eye The songs that we sing never meant anything In the end it was all just a lie Good-bye...

I don't belong to the world that you made So I'll run away from the rain..

Love is a dream out of reach so it seems I have lost and it's hard to believe I'm not giving up and I'm not giving in Things are fine if I just go and leave I'm bitter at best being put to the test Escaping is how I will breathe it seems

Blank Space Original song by Taylor Swift. Never heard it before, but I found this cover by Tiffany Alvord online and it reminded me a lot of Phoenix's relationship with Katan using both their point of views.—

Nice to meet you, where you been" I could show you incredible things. Magic, madness, heaven, sin Saw you there and I thought; Oh my gosh, look at that face You look like my next mistake

Love's a game; wanna play'

New money, suit and tie; I can read you like a magazine Ain't it funny' Rumors fly. And I know you heard about me So hey, let's be friends. I'm dying to see how this one ends. Grab your passport and take my hand I can make the bad guy good for a weekend.

So it's gonna be forever, or it's gonna go down in flames. You can tell me when it's over; if the high was worth the pain. Gotta long list of ex-lovers; they'll tell you I'm insane 'Cause you know I love the players; and you love the game 'Cause we're young and we're reckless; we'll take this way too far. It'll leave you breathless, or with a nasty scar.. Gotta long list of ex-lovers; they'll tell you I'm insane But I got a blank space, baby..and I'll write your name.

Cherry lips, crystal skies, I can show you incredible things Stolen kisses, pretty lies; you're the king, baby; I'm your queen. Find out what you want, be that girl for a month. But the worst is yet to come. Screaming, crying, perfect storms, I can make all the tables turn Rose garden filled with thorns; I'll have you second guessing like; "Oh my gosh, who is she?" I get drunk on jealousy. But you'll come back, each time you leave 'Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream.

So it's gonna be forever, or it's gonna go down in flames. You can tell me when it's over; if the high was worth the pain. Gotta long list of ex-lovers; they'll tell you I'm insane 'Cause you know I love the players; and you love the game 'Cause we're young and we're reckless; we'll take this way too far. It'll leave you breathless, or with a nasty scar.. Gotta long list of ex-lovers; they'll tell you I'm insane But I got a blank space, baby..and I'll write your name.

Boys only want love if it's torture; don't say I didn't warn ya. Boys only want love if it's torture; don't say I didn't warn ya.

So it's gonna be forever, or it's gonna go down in flames. You can tell me when it's over; if the high was worth the pain. Gotta long list of ex-lovers; they'll tell you I'm insane 'Cause you know I love the players; and you love the game 'Cause we're young and we're reckless; we'll take this way too far. It'll leave you breathless, or with a nasty scar.. Gotta long list of ex-lovers; they'll tell you I'm insane But I got a blank space, baby..and I'll write your name.

Every time I hear this song, it makes me think of Quillan when her husband, Brandon, was in his fatal accident. Kingsley doesn't remember, but he was in a coma for three months. Quillan spent every day by his side before being told that he would never recover and, as per Brandon's wish of never wanting to survive on machinery, she decided to pull the plug.

"Say Something" by A Great Big World

Say something, I'm giving up on you I'll be the one if you want me to Anywhere I would've followed you Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I, I'm feeling so small It was over my head I know nothing at all And I will stumble and fall I'm still learning to love Just starting to crawl

Say something, I'm giving up on you I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you Anywhere I would've followed you Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I will swallow my pride You're the one that I love And I'm saying goodbye

Say something, I'm giving up on you And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you And anywhere I would've followed you Say something, I'm giving up on you

The songs on the radio are okay But my taste in music is your face And it takes a song to come around To show you how

She's the tear in my heart I'm alive She's the tear in my heart I'm on fire She's the tear in my heart Take me higher Than I've ever been Than I've ever been Than I've ever been Than I've ever been

You fell asleep in my car I drove the whole time But that's okay I'll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine I'm driving here I sit Cursing my government For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement You fell asleep in my car I drove the whole time But that's okay I'll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine I'm driving here I sit Cursing my government For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement Sometimes you gotta bleed to know, oh, oh That you're alive and have a soul, oh, oh But it takes someone to come around To show you how

She's the tear in my heart I'm alive She's the tear in my heart I'm on fire She's the tear in my heart Take me higher Than I've ever been

My heart is my armor She's the tear in my heart She's a carver She's a butcher with a smile Cut me farther Than I've ever been Than I've ever been Than I've ever been Than I've ever been

My heart is my armor She's the tear in my heart She's a carver She's a butcher with a smile Cut me farther Than I've ever been

Upon being trapped in the void for (what felt like) ten years, Emlen and Katan were exposed to a lot of television, and their bromance ignited. On one particular day, to cheer Motoko and Beck up, they rehearsed and preformed this song for them...It was magical, and most of it fits their relationship.

Guy Love— Scrubs.

Let's face the facts about me and you A love unspecified Though I'm proud to call you bear The crowd will always talk and stare

I feel exactly those feelings, too And that's why I keep them inside! 'Cause this bear, can't bear the world's disdain And sometime's it's easier to hide

Than explain our

Guy love! That's all it is! Guy love! He's mine, I'm his There's nothing gay about it in our eyes

You ask me about this thing we share

And he tenderly replies....

It's guy love, between two guys...

We're closer than the average man and wife

That's why our matching bracelets say and

You know I'll stick by you for the rest of my life

You're the only man who's ever been inside of me!

Woah, I just took out his appendix...

There's no need to clarify

Oh no'

Just let it grow more and more each day! It's like I married my best friend...

But in a totally manly way!

Let's go! It's guy love! Don't compromise The feeling of some other guy Holding up your heart into the sky

I'll be there to care through all the lows

I'll be there to share the highs...uh!

It's guy love! Between two guys!

And when I say, "I love you, " It's not what it implies.

It's guy love! Between two guys...

Nicole Dollanganger - Dog Teeth (How Martyr feels about Godric right now.)

He handed me a pair of pliers and told me to pull out his teeth Because as long as he had them, he'd use them to do bad things.

You're cold on the inside, there's a dog in your heart. And it tells you to tear everything apart. My body's covered in teeth marks, your bite's worse than your bark You ruin everything you touch and destroy anyone you love You're all over me...

He'd sunk his teeth into the flesh of many others Infecting them with whatever was already inside him He'd broken all their hymens Cut them open and played inside them. He hollowed out their bodies so they'd feel just empty as him

You're cold on the inside, there's a dog in your heart and it tells you to tear everything apart. You draw blood just to taste it, you hold bones just to break them You ruin everything you touch and destroy anyone you love You're all over me...

Florence + The Machine - Ship To Wreck

Don't touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head Dredging the great white sharks, swimming in the bed And here comes a killer whale, to sing me to sleep Thrashing the covers off, it has me by its teeth

And oh my love remind me, what was it that I said" I can't help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did" Did I drink too much" Am I losing touch" Did I build this ship to wreck"

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck Did I build this ship to wreck"

What's with the long face" Do you want more" Thousands of red-eyed mice, scratching at the door Don't let the curtain catch you, cause you've been here before The chair is an island darling, you can't touch the floor

And oh my love remind me, what was it that I said" I can't help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did" Did I drink too much" Am I losing touch" Did I build this ship to wreck"

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck Did I build this ship to wreck"

And good god, under starry skies we are lost, And into the breach we got tossed And the water's coming in fast!

And oh my love remind me, what was it that I said" I can't help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did" Did I drink too much" Am I losing touch" Did I build this ship to wreck"

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck Did I build this ship to wreck"

To wreck, to wreck, to wreck Did I build this ship to wreck?

A song more for his past, and reflecting on said past. And....maybe a little of his present, too.

"At My Best" - MGK ft. Hailee Steinfeld

Turn my vocals up, alright

I wrote this song as a message for help On behalf of anybody finding theirself I wrote this letter to numb your pain 'Cause everyday I wake up I'm feeling the same

I got issues just like you got issues I been hurt I seen scar tissue If I showed you would you run away" Do I gotta hide 'em for you to wanna stay"

Do I even need you? Should I leave you? Do I gotta be you Just to please you? Do I say I'm all good When I bleed you through my heart" Quit tearing mine apart

I shout, I swear, I get angry, I get scared I fall, I break, I mess up, I make mistakes But if you can't take me at my worst You don't deserve me at my best

Gotta keep it going, gotta keep my head up, uh Gotta keep it going, gotta keep my head up, uh Gotta keep it going, gotta keep my head up 'Cause life is about"aight, check this out

Look, life is about making mistakes It's also about trying to be great, right Do not let failure scare you away I know you fed up, you fall, get up It's all in us, I can speak about 'cause I did it true Ladies and gentlemen here's the exhibit It's my life look a little closer you could see the highlight Gold ain't always golden but I told 'em

Look at all the years I've been waiting for a moment Shed a lot of tears Just to smile in the morning Tell me could you love me, Tell me could you love me" Tell me could you love me if I told you why"

I shout, I swear, I get angry, I get scared I fall, I break, I mess up, I make mistakes But if you can't take me at my worst You don't deserve me at my best

This song's for anybody, yeah Who feels like I did Never the cool kid This song's for anybody Who fought their way through Always remain true This song's for anybody The one's who trying to get it The one's who dreaming and live it This song's for anybody This song, this song, this song, this song, this song, this song

I shout, I swear, I get angry, I get scared I swear I do I fall, yeah, I break, yeah, I mess up, I make mistakes And I ain't sorry 'bout it But if you can't take me at my worst You don't deserve me at my best

Gotta keep it going, gotta keep my head up, uh Gotta keep it going, gotta keep my head up, uh Gotta keep it going, gotta keep my head up 'Cause life is about

All is relevant but the bold verse pertains to Orchid.

"Kiss the Sky" - MGK

See I've been searchin' for somethin' out there When is it comin'" Tell me What to tell myself When I drink so much that it hurts my health 'Cause I stay up way too late And I owe a million favors I can't overstress myself So I wrote it down to express myself I'm lookin' in the mirror tryna find Peace of mind in a piece of my Inspiration back from the beginning Life's a movie, I can't make revisions Ate an eighth of shrooms and started trippin' Had some visions that were nonexistent I think I just left the solar system Doesn't matter, I still kept the rhythm Diamonds still gon' light up like a prism That's from years of grindin' independent What was at the bottom now has risen If this isn't Heaven then what is it" Always real but never realistic Want the world but nothin' in specific Don't need shootin' stars to grant my wishes I'm a superstar, let's go and get it

Kiss the ski-i-i-i-i-i-ies, the sky Kiss the ski-i-i-i-i-i-ies, the sky Kiss the ski-i-i-i-i-i-ies, the sky Kiss the sky-y-y-y-y-y-y

Now can I, lay underneath you? While they play all the previews And I'll pretend like I'm restin' Maybe you'll skip to the end and Pass all the irrational decisions Patch up all the passion that was missin' I think that's enough, I'm feelin' lovesick Rollin' loud, I'm on some turnin' up shit Paid a couple hundred for a high that I couldn't get on my own, own And I've been lookin' for a long time, but I never found home Everything is alright, I'm around for the long ride Go get drunk and find some trouble (ayy) Add some pieces to the puzzle (ayy) Couple rights, couple wrongs That's the prequel to the sequel (yeah) And all the space in between us Are memories that we conceal The jagged edges of a pill Remember what it is to feel Windows down behind the wheel Gotta do it for the thrill, watch me

Kiss the ski-i-i-i-i-i-ies, the sky Kiss the ski-i-i-i-i-i-ies, the sky Kiss the ski-i-i-i-i-i-ies, the sky Kiss the sky-y-y-y-y-y-y

Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Heart

(A song that I feel voices Minoko's emotions during the period before and just after she started seeing Emlen.)

Totsuzen no kisu ya atsui manazashi de

Koi no puroguramu o kuruwasenai de ne

Deai to wakare jōzu ni uchikonde

Jikan ga kureba owaru

Don't hurry!

Ai ni kizutsuita anohi kara zutto

Hiru to yoru ga gyaku no kurashi o tsuzukete

Hayari no disco de odori akasu uchini

Oboeta majutsu nanoyo

I'm sorry!

Watashi no koto o keshite honki de aisanai de

Koi nante tadano gēmu

Tanoshimeba sorede iino

Tozashita kokoro o kazaru hadena doresu mo kutsu mo

Kodoku na tomodachi

(Guitar solo)

Watashi o sasou hito wa hinikuna mono ne itsumo kare ni niteruwa nazeka

Omoide to kasanariau

Gurasu o otoshite kyū ni namidagundemo

Wake wa tazunenai de ne

Ai ni kizutsuita anohi kara zutto

Hiru to yoru ga gyaku no kurashi o tsuzukete

Hayari no disco de odori akasu uchini

Bumpin Uglies-Morning After.

Morning after waking up to see, That she's lying in bed right next to me, With an empty bottle of c and c Oh my god what a night of debauchery!

There's a thin line between haste and action, A thin line between obsession and passion But I walk the line, cause ain't no time to waste Emotionally drive I've got a dream to chase But nobody ever said you've gotta walk it alone Every man deserves a pretty girl at home With the love that she supplies you share the highs and the lows When you look into her eyes she just smiles and it shows

You get weak knees when she comes around You can't speak free cause of how you think it sounds Butterflies creeping up into your chest And the whiskey logic has you thinking you should confess But there's a thin line between haste and action So just sit back and enjoy the chain reaction You can't force a moment can't create the divine But if you wait patiently it's just something you'll find

Morning after waking up to see, That she's lying in bed right next to me, With an empty bottle of c and c Oh my god what a night of debauchery!

There was a bottle of wine, a case of beer, 90 minutes flat we made it disappear. We had a couple of laughs she had a look in her eye I had a couple of thoughts as to the reason why It was summer time and we were living in ease On an overcast night with an underblown breeze There ain't ever been a sight quite as pretty to me As a brown eyed flower child drinking straight whiskey There was liquid courage running through my veins And we went bar to bar running though the rain The kind of love that drives a man insane An oasis of bliss in a desert of pain But there's a thing line between haste and action And now I'm crossing lines in search of satisfaction Truth of the matter its as simple as this Happiness can't exist unless you take a little risk...

Last call the destroyer of dreams We were making a scene they had to ask us to leave So we took it past what we once conceived With a moonlit walk along an empty street And she looked at me with a close lipped smile And said she's not going home tonight My reply, quite simply put: Will you still love me in mornings light"

Morning after waking up to see, That she's lying in bed right next to me, With an empty bottle of c and c Oh my god what a night of debauchery!

"Sweet Perfection" — Nevershoutnever

Last night was a thriller, was a killer, was a damn good time I met a pretty girl and I wanted to make her mine So I took her for a walk and damn, that girl could talk We talked about all the pretty things and all the shitty things and all the little things that fall between

And oh, pretty girl I know that I just met you But I might just dare to say That I love you

And oh, sweet perfection Won't you hear my one confession" I've been lost, but dear, I'm found

I've been lookin' for a girl just like you You got words to say, but no point to prove You got me and that's enough for you And girl, I got you

I've been lookin' for a heart that's so complete So satisfied with the little things I got you and that's enough for me So girl, can't you see That you and me Could be so free And live happy" So take my hand and let's run

And oh, pretty girl I know that I just met you But I might just dare to say That I love you

And oh, sweet perfection Won't you hear my one confession" I've been lost, but dear, I'm found But Dear, I'm found

(Found by Orchid's player and it's absolutely perfect! Thank you, boo.~)

Traditional, sung by Face Vocal Band - The Parting Glass

(The Black Scorpion Inn's walls have felt the drunken thunder of this song countless times. It is a favorite of the Scottish and Irish regulars there, and the farewell tune has grown on Minoko over the years. At first, she rolled her eyes. Now she smiles and sings along.)

Of all the money that e'er I had I spent it in good company And all the harm I've ever done Alas it was to none but me

And all I've done for want of wit To mem'ry now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be to you all

So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate'er befall, And gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had They're sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I had They'd wish me one more day to stay

But since it fell unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all

Fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate'er befall, Then gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all

Good night and joy be to you all
