We are free
& we're running with blood on our knees

{How It Ends}
DeVotchka
& in your heart you know it to be true
You know what you gotta do
They all depend on you
[…]
Now you've seen his face
& you know that there's a place in the sun
For all that you've done
For you & your children
No longer shall you need
You always wanted to believe
Just ask & you'll receive
Beyond your wildest dreams
& you already know
Yeah, you already know how this will end.

{Never Meant to Know}
Tally Hall
& all the parts combine to one
& all of us around the sun
Everything will fall away
To order from the disarray
See the sun the shadows cast
From all the times I floated past
See the ocean spinning out
With all the hope & all the doubt
See the sky & all the land together again
See the way the earth can stay below
Who do we think we are?
Everything plays a part
There are some things we don't understand
Reasons on the other hand
There are some things we are never meant to know
[10]
{When Heroes Go Down}
Suzanne Vega
When heroes go down
They go down fast
So don't expect any time to
Equivocate the past
When heroes go down
They land in flame
So don't expect any slow & careful
Settling of blame
[...]
When heroes go down
Man or woman revealed
You can't expect any kind of mercy
On the battlefield
[11]
{You Look Exactly the Same}
Bobby Johnston
Instrumental Track.
[12]
{Closer to the Edge}
30 Seconds to Mars
It was a thousand to one & a million to two
Time to go down in flames & I'm taking you
Closer to the edge
[...]
Can you imagine a time when the truth ran free?
The birth of a song, the death of a dream
Closer to the edge
This never ending story
Paid for with pride & fate
We all fall short of glory
Lost in our fate
[13]

{Get Out Alive}
Three Days Grace
No time for goodbye he said
As he faded away
Don't put your life in someone's hands
They're bound to steal it away
Don't hide your mistakes
'Cause they'll find you, burn you
[...]
This is my last time she said
As she faded away
It's hard to imagine
But one day you'll end up like me
Then she said
If you want to get out alive
Hold on run for your life
[16]
{You Remember What It's Like}
Bobby Johnston
Instrumental Track.

{Time}
Mr. Hudson
& as your old man said
“Good friends, well you can count them on one hand”
& they’ll never judge you
Whatever your crime
I know that, I can include you
& you’ll forgive me
In the fullness of time
[...]
Time is all I fear
It’s why I just keep running
The quest for love was all that you & I held dear
With the beat still in your head
& the good book by your bed
We will survive, you & I
