{1} Phoenix - Allison Crowe
You didn't have to hurt me, you know
it wasn't entirely necessary
maybe it all just paved the way
for what needed to happen anyways
and out of the ashes I rise
the one who can look up is the one who flies
{2} Me and a Gun - Tori Amos {For those whose stories aren't fictional}
Me and a gun
and a man
On my back
But I haven't seen Barbados
So I must get out of this
{3} Oh Father - Sia {The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Harriet}
You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you once had the power
I never felt so good about myself
Seems like yesterday
I lay down next to your boots and I prayed
For your anger to end
How was it that I sinned?
{4} 13x Forever - Garbage {The Girl who Played with Fire - Lisbeth}
You raised your hand as you raised the bottle
You knock me down but it made me stronger
The harder you hit
The harder you fall
And this one's for my mother
What will I do without her
Don't look back
Don't even bother
{5} Skeletons and Spirits - Allison Crowe {The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Lisbeth}
Take your sympathy and shove it
as for the pain,
well, I love it
I'll eat your words
I'll devour your soul
I will laugh like a lemur
as you crawl back into your hole
And, yes I know
I'm a little bit off
But, you, you can't leave, you can't open the door
you think you're unique but I've seen you before
so run, run away from the fires that burn
you will do this again and again
but you will never learn
{6} Gothic Lolita - Emilie Autumn {The L Word - Jenny}
If I am Lolita
Then you are a criminal
And you should be killed
By an army of little girls
The law won't arrest you
The world won't detest you
You never did anything
Any man wouldn't do
{7} Cloud - Sia {The L Word - Jenny}
I am a dark cloud
swelling with rain
I am a dark cloud
swelling with rain
Get it out your system
Get it out of you
Send them home with blisters
Send them home with truth
{8} My Body Is a Cage - The Arcade Fire {Private Practice - Charlotte}
I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
{9} I'm In Here (Piano/Vocal Version) - Sia {Dollhouse - Sierra/Priya}
I'm crying out, I'm breaking down,
I am fearing it all,
Stuck inside these walls,
Tell me there is hope for me
Is anybody out there listening?
Can't you hear my call?
Are you coming to get me now?
I've been waiting for
You to come rescue me.
I need you to hold
All of the sadness I cannot
Live with inside of me.
{10} Silence is Golden - Garbage {Criminal Minds - Derek}
If I am silent then I am not real
If I speak up then no one will hear
If I wear a mask there's somewhere to hide
Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins
If I raise my voice
Will someone get hurt?
And if I can't feel then I won't get touched
If no truths are spoken then no lies can hide
{11} Runaway Love - Ludacris {Higher Ground - Shelby}
Sneakin' in her room when her momma's knocked out
Tryin' to have his way and little Lisa says ouch
She tries to resist but then all he does is beat her
Tries to tell her mom but her momma don't believe her
Lisa's stuck up in a world on her own
Forced to think that Hell is a place called home
Nothin' else to do but get some clothes and pack
She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back
Runaway love, runaway love
{12} Hope On Fire - Vienna Teng {Veronica Mars - Veronica}
Gotta fight gotta strike
'cause there's no turning away
From what you don't want to know
Gotta see gotta be
If they're all going astray
Don't let them take you in tow
You're a one-man shift in the weather
You're the woman who just won't sell
Climbing up and ringing the bell
Ooh you're gonna make your mark this time
Ooh you're gonna set your hope on fire
