like a flame, and the ash is for wasting
collared (him that gives and him that takes)

Him that gives and him that takes is a fragment of Portia's 'quality of mercy' speech from The Merchant of Venice.

bestrafe mich, bestrafe mich
Stroh wird Gold und Gold wird Stein
deine Größe macht mich klein
du darfst mein Bestrafer sein

DALEK: Records indicate that you will show mercy. You are an associate of the Doctor.
RIVER: I'm River Song. Check your records again.
DALEK: Mercy…
RIVER: Say it again.
DALEK: Mercy…
RIVER: One more time.
DALEK: Mercy…!
doctor who, the big bang
01. esca
(what the fuck are you looking at?)
kasabian - 'underdog'
kill me if you dare
i got my cloak and dagger in a bar-room brawl
see the local loves a fighter, loves a winner to fall
02. marcus
(somemes we all need a nice healthy punch in the face)
green day - 'nice guys finish last'
sometimes you're at your best when you feel the worst
nice guys finish last
when you run out of gas
don't pat yourself on the back
you might break your spine
03. chemistry
(i want you so bad it's driving me mad)
florence and the machine - 'drumming song'
there's a drumming noise inside my head
it starts when you're around
and i swear that you could hear it, it makes such an almighty sound
louder than sirens, louder than bells
sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell
04. consummation: esca
(it's intoxicating, the power)
empires - 'midnight land'
stay down - i bet it burns now
i bet it burns, i bet it burns, i bet it burns now
05. submission: marcus
(this is everything i'm not supposed to want)
dashboard confessional - 'if you can't leave it be, might as well make it bleed'
call off the cavalry, can't save a wretch like me
clean this with kerosene
if you can't leave it be might as well make it bleed
scalpelled, sutured, made whole again
you were not made to stand and fight
there's something better wrong with you
06. relationship
(is that what we are? is that what we're doing?)
the mountain goats - 'international small arms traffic blues'
our love is like the border between greece and albania
trucks loaded down with weapons
crossing over every night
moon yellow and bright
there is a shortage in the blood supply
but there is no shortage of blood
the way i feel about you baby can't explain it
you got the best of my love
07. crisis
(love scares me to death)
taking back sunday - 'error: operator'
there's been an accident (calm down)
there's been an accident (breathe in then out, calm down)
we can't go back, can't go back
can't go back, we can't
08. resolve: marcus
(i've decided that if a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing well)
the national - 'mr november'
this is nothing like it was in my room, in my best clothes
trying to think of you
i won't fuck us over
09. acceptance: esca
(difficult and imperfect is the best i can offer)
florence and the machine - 'rabbit heart (raise it up)'
this is a gift, it comes with a price
who is the lamb and who is the knife?
midas is king and he holds me so tight
and turns me to gold in the sunlight
10. peace
(let's do this, then.)
lykke li - 'love out of lust'
rather live out a lie than live wondering
how the fire feels while burning
we will live longer than I will
we will be better than I was
we can cross rivers with our will
we will do better than I can
