title: Armistice
“You can’t. You’ll drown. You have to let go. I know what this means to you but you’re going to die. Please, Erik. Calm your mind.”Hey Now- Augustana
Everybody's gonna need somebody
To take our troubles, and our worries, and our problems all away
'Cause, hey you're just bleeding for nothing
It's hard to breathe when you're standing on your own
We'll kill ourselves to find freedom
You'll kill yourself to find anything at all
”you were in my head…”
Ocean of Noise- Arcade Fire
In an ocean of noise
I first heard your voice
Ringing like a bell
As if I had a choice/
No way of knowing
What any man will do
An ocean of violence
Between me and you
You've got your reasons
And me I've got mine
But all the reasons I gave
Were just lies to buy myself some time
“I am sorry, Erik, but I’ve seen what Shaw did to you. I felt your agony. I can help you.”
“I don’t need your help.”Guns and Horses- Elle Goulding
And let's join forces
We've got our guns and horses
I know you've been burned
but every fire is a lesson learned/
But I wish I could feel it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Maybe you'd feel the same

How We Operate- Gomez
it’s in our eyes
it’s how we operate/
come here come right on over
and when we collide we’ll see what gets left over
a little joy a little sorrow
and a little pride so we won’t have to borrow/
Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way
“I accessed the brightest corner of your memory system. It's a very beautiful memory, Erik. Thank you.”
“I didn't know I still had that.”Sweet Child of Mine- Guns N Roses
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see his face
He takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long I'd probably break down and cry
“There’s so much more to you than you know. Not just pain and anger. There’s good in you too.”You Are the Moon- The Hush Sound
Darkness, darkness everywhere, do you feel all alone?
The subtle grace of gravity, the heavy weight of stone
You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear
It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier
All the light that you possess is skewed by lakes and seas
The shattered surface, so imperfect, is all that you believe

Iris- Goo Goo Dolls
And I don't want the world to see me
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I Am Not a Robot- Marina & The Diamonds
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated than loved, loved, love for what you're not
You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable
You are not a robot
You're lovable, so lovable
But you're just troubled
![](http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj192/_desiderata/x-men/readmymind.gif)
Read My Mind- The Killers
Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?
If There’s Love- Citizen Cope
you give me strength to beat the odds and overcome my fears
you make me feel like I belong under the sun/
if there’s love I just want something to do with it
I just wanna feel yours

The Rabbit, The Bat, and The Reindeer- Dr.Dog
well I ain’t one to shed no blood, thats your crime
and i ain’t one to sling no mud i clean it up/
and ill be dreaming of the day the dream died
no sticks no stones could break my bones like you can
and if i knew hate id call it love for you, man/
are you my curse? are you my friend?
and if we got hit, to the end of the road
will you be there to carry my load?
“I know, Charles. When are you going to stop lecturing me?”
“When you start listening.”That’s Just What You Are- Aimee Mann
In our endeavor we are never seeing eye to eye/
I won't fall for the oldest trick in the book
So don't sit there and think you're off of the hook
By saying there is no use changing
'Cause that's just what you are/
now I could talk to you ‘til I’m blue in the face
but we still would arrive at the very same place

Make This Go On Forever- Snow Patrol
the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water
the way you told me to look past everything
I had ever learned
“Us turning on eachother, it’s what they want. I tried to warn you, Charles.”The Fallout- O.A.R
I never meant to hurt you but knew I someday would
it’s like I built myself a cabin with matches between the wood/
I’ll be damned if you forget me
in this fire I’ll save your place
and keep it cool while I think of you
in the smoke I see your face
I’ve got this one beat
rain can fall on me
baby, from the fallout hear me call out/
they say the sky is falling
are the angels coming too?
I’m gonna catch them when they come
catch them as they fall
climb atop the tower, get me closer to the sky
I’ll bring the memories back
and save them all for you
“I want you by my side. We’re brothers, you and I.”It’s Beginning to Get To Me- Snow Patrol
'Cause I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attack
I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screaming under my breath:
You are the only thing that makes sense
“Where's your telepath friend?”
“Gone. Left a bit of a gap in my life, if I'm to be honest. I was rather hoping you would fill it. Join us.”Someone Like You- Adele
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over
Nevermind I’ll find someone like you
”Are you sneaking around in here, Charles? Whatever are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for hope.”Walk Into the Sun- Dirty Vegas
and I notice something missing when it’s you I can’t replace
and I’ve been drowning out the silence from the words that we once said
and I know I could make a difference if I could get inside your head
time passes….
The Ice Is Getting Thinner- Death Cab for Cutie
We bury our love in the wintery grave
A lump in the snow was all that remained.
But we stayed by its side as the days turned to weeks
And the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we'd speak
Two Little Boys- Rolf Harris
two little boys had two little toys
each had a wooden horse
gaily they played each summer’s day
warriors both of course
one little chap then had a mishap
broke off his horse’s head
wept for his toy then cried with joy as his young playmate said:
did you think I would leave you crying?
when there’s room on my horse for two
climb up here, Jack, and don’t be crying
I can go just as fast with two
when we grow up we’ll both be soldiers
and our horses will not be toys
and I wonder if we’ll remember when we were two little boys
long years past
war came so fast
bravely they marched away
I Know You Are But What Am I- Mogwai
instrumental
”I will bring you hope, old friend, and I ask only one thing in return- don’t get in my way. We are the future, Charles, not them. They no longer matter.”Crystalised- The XX
Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I've done things in small doses
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
When you're the one that I've kept closest
![](http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj192/_desiderata/x-men/armistice-1.gif)
It’s Beginning to Get To Me- Snow Patrol
Are you beginning to get get my point
That all this fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
and no one knows what this fight's about
"Then kill me and find out...no? Then release me."
Dare You To Move- Switchfoot
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be/
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
”Why do you come here, Charles?”
“Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answer?”
“Ah, yes. Your continuing search for hope.”Armistice- Phoenix
When the lights are cutting out
And I come down in your room
Our daily compromise
It is written in your signed armistice
”The war is still coming, Charles. And I intend to fight it by any means necessary.”
“And I will always be there, old friend.”Frozen- Good Luck Joes
and I don’t mind to look inside your thoughts
and I don’t mind but I can’t find my way in/
black and white’s not always simple as it seems
but I will try to make it easy on you
