BUT NOW IT'S IN MY BLOOD, a dean winchester mix
01. come on out - the airborne toxic event
I’m just running dumb and dumb and dumb and dumb
I wonder if I’ll be turning back, I got twenty bucks in a pocket with my stash
I’m not afraid, I’m not your “good night”
I’m just a shadow of a shadow tonight
and the night shadows watching, the darkness approaching
and your mother, she’s calling, you feel your hopes falling
there’s nowhere to run to tonight
just his fist on your face now
you hope to replace how the emptiness fills you inside
02. sisyphus - andrew bird
Sisyphus, peered into the mist
a stone's throw from the precipice, paused
did he jump or did he fall as he gazed into the maw of the morning mist?
did he raise both fists and say, "To hell with this" and just let the rock roll?
I'd rather fail like a mortal than flail like a god, I'm a lightning rod
you know I'd rather turn and burn than scale this edifice, yeah
where's my accomplice?
so take my hand, we'll do more than stand
it's got nothing to do with fate
03. good luck - broken bells
the face of evil is on the news tonight
we see the darkness over light
but have we ever really lived in better times?
hey, strange, they say we're coming to the end of the line
I had another dream, I had another life
no one saw the blood on my hands
when I woke, I was there alone / where will it end?
after the twilight, always a sunrise
but the glow of morning comes with small arms fire
ignore the deadline, there's no divine right
enter the gods and all the sacred signs
at the end of your line
04. you've done it again, virginia - the national
you went in and put a record on
to make it sound like someone was home
and thanked yourself for pouring yourself a drink
try to figure out and laugh yourself to the showers
burn yourself alive and join the monster squad
they say in this place you can reinvent yourself
how does it feel to feel like you?
brilliant sugar, brilliant sugar, brilliant sugar, turn over
05. middle cyclone - neko case
baby, why am I worried now?
did someone make a fool of me
before I could show 'em how it's done?
I can't give up acting tough
it's all that I'm made of
can't scrape together quite enough
to ride the bus to the outskirts of the fact that I need love
it was so clear to me, that it was almost invisible
I lie across the path waiting, just for a chance to be
06. wrecking ball - mother mother
I made a wreck out of my hand
I put it through the wall
I made a fist and not a plan
call me a reckless wrecking ball
and I break it
just because I can
07. the place I left behind - the deep dark woods
this feeling that you call yours, I do not give a damn
I've got the ramblin' fever down in my bones
and everwhere that I wanna go
the only place that I ever loved
is a place I left behind
I've got the lonesome blues everywhere I go
and everything that I need to know
the only place I can bide my time
Is a place I left behind
08. change - lana del rey
lately I've been thinking it's just someone else's job to care
who am I to sympathize when no one gave a damn?
change is a powerful thing, people are powerful beings
trying to find the power in me to be faithful
maybe by the time summer's done, I will be able
to be honest, capable / of holding you in my arms without letting you fall
every time that we run, we don't know what it's from
now we finally slow down, we feel close to it
09. city of roses - sufjan stevens
a break in the clouds is a break in my day
face the sun of my salvation
the thought in my head, oh God only knows
as everything else will disappoint you
I used to be young and bold, but now I'm afraid, I'm getting so old
it's a little-known fact that I can't cope
I'm the champion of repression
I'll die by the wings of my ambition
10. where you gonna go - gregory alan isakov
where you gonna go like that?
with the holes in you, with the holes in you
summer sun, won't come
jump the gun
run, run, run
11. cat power - the greatest
once I wanted to be the greatest
no wind or waterfall could stall me
and then came the rush of the flood
stars at night turned deep to dust
melt me down
into big black armour
leave no trace of grace
just in your honor
lower me down
pin me in
12. stay down - boygenius
I wasn't a fighter 'til somebody told me
I had better learn to lean into the punch
so I don't hurt as bad when they leave
so would you teach me I'm the villain?
constantly repenting for a difficult mind
push me down into the water like a sinner
hold me under, and I'll never come up again, I'll just stay down
it's a half-life, it's a fallout
it takes so long for me to settle down
13. down with those days - DeVotchKa
and oh yes my brothers, we are gonna lean on each other
if we’re gonna turn this situation ‘round
you thought you were done with those days
but they ain’t done with you
oh we’ll get you down off of the ropes
we’ll clean you up, we’ll give you hope
lie in the field covered in rust
the topsoil has blown into our blood
and there’s a divine purpose
lying just below the surface
14. the world at large - modest mouse
ice age, heat wave, can't complain
if the world's at large, why should I remain?
I like songs about drifters, books about the same
they both seem to make me feel a little less insane
walked on off to another spot, I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want
did I want love? did I need to know?
why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?
walk a little farther to another plan
you said that you did, but you didn't understand
I know that starting over's not what life's about
but my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
