CHECKMATE
The Ultimate Cherik Fanmix
(link to zip at bottom)
(The goal of this mix is to unite all the really obvious Cherik songs out there, all the ones that the fandom has said YES GOOD THIS WILL BE OUR ANTHEM. And maybe a few more that I feel have the potential to become such songs, even if I haven't really seen them around. Most of the mix is very angsty but the last few songs are solid crack.)
1. Poison & Wine - The Civil Wars
You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don't want me to
Oh I don't love you but I always will

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
3. The Unwinding Cable Car - Anberlin

This is the correlation between salvation and love
4. Burning in the Skies - Linkin Park
And in the end we were made to be apart
Like separate chambers of the human heart

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream

Conjured this tempestuous rage
Created you a monster
Broken by the rule of love

So much hate for the ones we love
