[woman king - iron and wine]
Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see a
Woman king, wristwatch time
Slowing as she goes to sleep.
[when i was a young girl - feist]
Come mama come papa and sit you down by me
Come sit you down by me and pity my case
My poor head is aching my sad heart is breaking
My body salve-aided and hell is my doom.
[rewrite sia]
You don't know me
You can't hold me
I'll slip through your hands
I am one single grain of sand.
[maybe not - cat power]
You’ve got to choose a wish or command
At the turn of the tide, is withering thee
Remember one thing, the dream you can see
Pray to be, shake this land.
[lonely - yael naim]
You are not alone
I am here with you
Even when you're scared
I'll never leave you.
[ballerina - leona naess]
I didn't think I needed you
But I need you now
Was so empty in me
To feel you crashing down
Into the empty world
The music stops
I want to rescue want to scream out loud
You will always be mine.
[song for a love of long ago - justin vernon]
I have buried you
Every place I've been
You keep ending up
In my shaking hands.
[my skin - natalie merchant]
They say that promises
Sweeten the blow
But I don't need them
No, I don't need them.
[after the storm - mumford and sons]
And there will come a time, you'll see,
With no more tears.
And love will not break your heart,
But dismiss your fears.
[spiegel im Spiegel - avro part]

You claim titles don’t matter to you, but you behave like a prince and expect me to wait on you like a servant.
Saying it means nothing if your actions betray you.
- Gwen ("The Once and Future Queen")
After the Storm by Mumford & Sons
And after the storm,
I run and run as the rains come.
And I look up,
I look up,
On my knees and out of luck,
I look up.
Night has always pushed up day.
You must know life to see decay.
But I won't rot, I won't rot
Not this mind and not this heart,
I won't rot.
And I took you by the hand
And we stood tall,
And remembered our own land.
What we live for.
But there will come a time, you'll see,
With no more tears.
And love will not break your heart,
But dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see
What you find there,
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair.
And now I cling to what I knew.
I saw exactly what was true.
But oh no more.
That's why I hold.
That's why I hold, with all I have.
That's why I hold.
And I will die alone.
And be left there.
Well I guess I'll just go home.
Oh God knows where.
Because death is just so full
And mine so small.
Well I'm scared of what's behind.
And what's before.
But there will come a time, you'll see,
With no more tears.
And love will not break your heart,
But dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see,
What you find there,
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair.
And there will come a time, you'll see,
With no more tears.
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see,
What you find there,
With grace in your heart,
And flowers in your hair.
