Songs: Poets of the Fall
Been a while since I've posted songs here! For a long time they were only songs for the WFA story--and I can't post them. Then it took me a while to find ones that started to play off of Syncopation. But I'm delighted to say I've found a song for arch_schatten 's "Fragments" series. And it's not just because it has "fragments" in the lyrics, although I squeed out loud when I heard that as well. But all the lyrics fit, and it's also got that gothy sort of growly-voice feel to it she likes.
Poets of the Fall, "All The Way/4U"
Seems to matter what I say, so I'll hold my tongue at bay
And rather use my lips to kiss your frown away
Seems to matter what I do, so I'm saving this 4 U
Cause it seems to be the last piece there is
And you haven't had a chance yet to taste this
Fragments of a life you shouldn't miss
Seems to matter what I say, so I'll hold my tongue at bay
And rather use my lips to kiss your frown away
So your doubts no longer darken your day
So you can hold your head up high come what may
So please remember that I'm gonna follow through all the way
Cause it seems to matter where I go, I will always let you know
That the place where I am is never far
You know, you're not alone, don't be alarmed
I'll find you no matter where you are
So please remember that I'm gonna follow through all the way
Oh my love, if it's all I can do, I'll take the fall 4 U
Cause I will soar when I lay down with you and give my all 4 U
I've been having a hard time with songs for Syncopation because for some reason angsty songs didn't seem to be quite right. Then I realized I wasn't looking for angst, I was looking for hurt/comfort songs, since that's roughly the dynamic going on in that series. That really helped, realizing that. :)
Poets of the Fall, "Roses"
Without you I'm nothing at all
And life has the face of a morbid game
With you nothing seems impossible
It all seems to fit the frame
I've walked the distance, I paid my dues and tried to have a go at what I thought I knew was real, held no appeal
I've been to places, I've seen the tidings,
I bought a book of rules for every coin that I could steal
And so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn
And consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn
So when I'm crying alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again
I've heard the rumors, started fires, I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I need, behold the demons that I freed
I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat, but healing doesn't seem to happen when you hide away the seed
And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn
For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn
So when I'm crying alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again
Without you I'm nothing at all
And life has the face of a morbid game
With you nothing seems impossible
It all seems to fit the frame
So when I'm crying alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again
