i come to you defences down
This is a serious business dark!mix.
Alex and Tony are very much both prone to bouts of extreme FEELINGS, including but not limited to EMO and ANGST. This mix is a look at their relationship from a very emo, angsty point of view.
From Alex's sadness over the fact that she can't seem to help him, no matter how much she tries and how much she begs him to trust her, to Tony's bouts of bleak despair and his inability to express what he feels, this mix is dark, intense and depressing. But, as always, they manage to find each other in the end.
(Pssst Mammoth - this is so not the 'we're so in love we make people puke with how happy we are' mix. That one is still on it's way. Didn't I say the database was a good idea? Look how productive I'm being!)

you'll just capture me
like it was armed robbery

i'll come by and see you again
i'll be just a very good friend
i will not look upon your face
i will not touch upon your grace
your ecclesiastic skin
-
overlap - ani di franco
i search your profile for a translation
i study the conversation like a map
because i know there is strength
in the differences between us
and i know there is comfort where we overlap

don’t confess (this thing that breaks my heart) - tegan & sara

better be home soon - kasey chambers
somewhere deep inside

emotion sickness - silverchair
erupt again ignore the pill
and i won't let it show
sacrifice the tortures
orchestral tear cash-flow
increasing need escape defeat
it's all that matters to you
cotton case for an iron pill
distorted eyes
when everything is clearly dying
-
red rain - peter gabriel
i am standing up at the water's edge in my dream
i cannot make a single sound as you scream
it can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
we touch
this place is so quiet
sensing that storm
-
i’m not driving anymore - rob dougan
you're closing in behind me
i've got headlights in my eyes
don't you get too close to me
can't you see that we'll collide
and end up casualties
there's just no room
i'm not driving anymore
i can't keep up with you
-
disarm - smashing pumpkins
i used to be a little boy
so old in my shoes
what i choose is my choice
what's a boy supposed to do
the killer in me is the killer in you
my love
-
without you i’m nothing - placebo
i'm unclean, a libertine
and every time you vent your spleen
i seem to lose the power of speech
you're slipping slowly from my reach
you grow me like an evergreen
you've never seen the lonely me at all
i take the plan, spin it sideways
i fall
without you i'm nothing
-
we should be together now - powderfinger
it's coming in and over
it's waiting at your shoulder
you can see
we should be together now
wait for me
i'm pulling it together now
-
lovesong - the cure
whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like i am free again
whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like i am clean again
however far away
i will always love you
however long i stay
i will always love you
whatever words i say
i will always love you
i will always love you
