halfway home.
One. Halfway Home - TV on the Radio
the lazy way they turned your head into a rest stop for the dead
and did it all in gold and blue and gray
the efforts to allay your dread in spite of all you knew and said
were hard to see and harder still to say
is it not me? am I not folded by your touch?
the words you spoke, I know too much, it's over now and not enough
Two. The Velocity of Saul at the Time of His Conversion - Okkervil River
loosen the wire, your time has expired
the only word left is goodbye
in my new dream, the light's shining on me
little needles of sodium unstitch the seams of the sky
hold your head higher, the heavenly choir is settling in for the night
and where I had friends I am left with loose ends
four hours of vision exchange for four hours of fright
but enough of the fight, enough you and I
enough of prevail or walk in the light
while the angels stand by I get high as a kite
I'm too tired to smile or know that I'm right
am I right?
Three. Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands - Phoenix
with your mercury mouth in the missionary times
and your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes
and your silver cross and your voice like chimes
oh, who do they think could bury you?
and your flesh like silk and your face like glass
and your deck of cards and your hollow face
oh, who do they think could carry you?
sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes
who do they think could outguess you?
Four. Wet Road - Scout Niblett
I walked behind you so I could see you
move the way you do, do, move the way you do
don't you know just to play with what you're given?
don't you know just to play with what you're given?
can't take her for the only one to believe in
Five. I Found a Reason - Cat Power
oh, I do believe in all the things you see
what comes is better than what came before
and you better come, come, come, come to me
better come, come, come, come, come to me
better run, run, run, run, run to me
better come
Six. Winter Bones - Stars
all I've known is that there is an end
then you can begin again
winter lives in my bones
it's all I've ever known
Seven. Icarus - White Hinterland
let the sun rain down on me til covered in dew, all pink and new and reborn
cut past the gray and countless forms, condemned to be killed or be conquered
slender as a carp you care, your skin defiantly silver and so sure
as for me, I am not so sure, I watch you skate like a knife beneath the water
though I can see clearly what's ahead of me I cannot stop it once I'm set a-spinning
what can it mean, why must I always see the ending at the beginning?
Eight. Little Shadow - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
patience, shadow, with all your sight there's no sight to see
little shadow, little shadow, to the night will you follow me?
closer, shadow, volume strikes, still we're caught between all this sorrow
hey, shadow, stars, break of dawn, take a turn for the stars, to my fantasy
little shadow, to the night will you follow me?
