Charm And Twisted Energy
Kimball and Marlowe are ended. Not in terms of a relationship (although it's possible that's true as well), but as characters. They ended with a bit of a bang, lots of tension and with enough unresolved issues to keep a relationship counselor occupied for years. Their dynamic was so different at the end than what it was in the beginning and the middle, and, for me, it was something else to make a mix for (like I really need a reason).
"This Addiction" -- Alkaline Trio
You hit me just like heroin;
I feel you coursing through my veins.
I once tried to kick this addiction:
I swear I'll never kick again,
won't ever kick again, no.
This addiction:
can't seem to live without you.
This addiction:
no going clean.
This addiction:
go through withdrawal without you.
Sick with this addiction in me.

"Over And Over" -- Three Days Grace
So here I go again,
chasing you down again;
why do I do this?
Over and over, over and over,
I fall for you.
Over and over, over and over,
I try not to.
Over and over, over and over,
you make me fall for you.
Over and over, over and over,
you don't even try-
So many thoughts that I can't get out of my head;
I try to live without you,
every time I do I feel dead.
I know what's best for me,
but I want you instead.
I'll keep on wasting all my time-

"Nice Guys Finish Last" -- Cobra Starship
God damn!
You got style,
you got grace (got grace);
you try so hard, she just laughs in your face.
You're a
nice guy with the wrong attitude:
she want a bad boy
(bad boys, bad boys, all we want is bad boys).
I treat her bad,
she loves me good
(so good)
and I just hate to have to tell you,
'cause you're a
nice guy, but that just won't do:
she want a bad boy
(bad boys, bad boys, all we want is bad boys).

"Makedamnsure" -- Taking Back Sunday
And we lay, we lay together just not
too close, too close
(How close is close enough?).
We lay, we lay together just not
too close, too close.
I just wanna break you down so badly;
well I trip over everything you say.
I just wanna break you down so badly,
in the worst way.
- - -
"Skeletons And Spirits" -- Allison Crowe
Take your sympathy and shove it.
As for the pain,
well, I love it.
I'll eat your words,
I'll devour your soul,
I will laugh like a lemur
as you crawl back into your hole.
I won't deny you,
but I'll pay you no heed,
and if you keep stabbing me,
I will probably bleed.
But I'll pretend I'm a cloud
and my rain will surround you,
and if you keep hurting me
I'll eventually drown you.
And, yes I know:
I'm a little bit off.
But you, you can't leave, you can't open the door;
you think you're unique but I've seen you before.
So run, run away from the fires that burn;
you will do this again and again,
but you will never learn.

"I Hate Everything About You" -- Three Days Grace
Every time we lie awake
after every hit we take,
every feeling that I get,
but I haven't missed you yet.
Every roommate kept awake
by every sigh and scream we make,
all the feelings that I get,
but I still don't miss you yet.
Only when I stop to think about it-
I hate everything about you;
why do I love you?
I hate everything about you;
why do I love you?

"Black Eye" -- Brand X
[Instrumental]

"Mockingbird" -- Rob Thomas
Everybody else is smiling;
man, their smiles don't fade.
You don't even wonder why;
you just don't think that way.
Maybe you and me got lost somewhere:
we can't move on and we can't stay here.
Maybe we've just had enough.
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love.
You and me tried everything,
but still that mockingbird won't sing.
Man this life seems hard enough.
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love.

"Dear Agony" -- Breaking Benjamin
And I will find the enemy within,
because I can feel it crawl beneath my skin.
Dear Agony,
just let go of me.
Suffer slowly:
is this the way it's got to be?
Don't bury me,
faceless enemy.
I'm so sorry.
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Dear Agony...
Leave me alone.
God, let me go.
I'm blue and cold.
Black sky will burn:
love pull me down,
hate lift me up.
Just turn around;
There's nothing left.

"My Damsel: A Confession To An Adversary" -- Evans Blue
Your fine charisma,
my charm and twisted energy:
and how they meet
is so perfect,
but the portrait is dangerous.
After we split hairs
and raise them-
'cause we made all the changes
so there's no way out.
So how could you see me?
You're blowing smoke here.
My damned soul needs fire;
my damsel breaths fire
in a whisper and she cries.
Hold on to your life,
and in time
you'll be far away.
Let go of the hate
for my name
and sing songs for our escape.
