[Same notes as the first FST.] This fanmix is largely based on hieronymousb's Ed/Envy fanfic Waste Land (NC-17). This fic is the best portrayal of the pairing I've seen. It's emotionally engaging and wonderfully descriptive; Ed and Envy are characterized exceptionally well, making it easy to sympathize with both of them simultaneously. Even skeptics of the pairing would enjoy this fic, as it keeps Ed and Envy completely in-character. I'd definitely recommend this fanfic to anyone who enjoys long, well-written stories.

1. We Are - Ana Johnson

What about the world today
What about the place that we call home
We've never been so many
and we've never been so alone

You wash your hands and come out clean
Can't feel and recognize me and it means we're dead
You say we're not responsible
but we are, we are, we are, we are

It's all about power, then take control
Breaking the rule, breaking the soul
They suck us dry till there's nothing left

2. What You Are - Dave Matthews Band

What you are is the beast in the lover's arms
what you are is the devil in the sweet sweet kiss
what you are is missing a piece
and what you are is a puzzle to me

3. Flowing - 311

Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
the more it will spin, the more that I try
to stop my mind flowing away, away
to all that I despise

Tick, tick, tick - the clock bludgeons your mind
endlessly replaying times that were unkind

4. The Killing Jar - Siouxsie & The Banshees

A glass hand cuts through the water
Scything into his twisted roots
Then from his eyes spring fireflies
Breathing life into a roaring disguise

Needles and sins, sins and needles
He's gasping for air in the wishing well
Dust to rust, ashes on gashes
Hand around the killing jar

5. Shiver - Maroon 5

You chew me up and spit me out
Enjoy the taste I leave in your mouth
You look at me, I look at you
Neither of us know what to do

There may not be another way to your heart
So I guess I'd better find a new way in
I shiver when I hear your name
Think about you but it's not the same
I won't be satisfied ‘til I'm under your skin

6. All Eyes On Me - The Goo Goo Dolls

Just look away
It's so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away

You drown in deeper oceans,
Inventing new religions
They smile and stab my back
And I lie and have to laugh

7. (I) Get lost - Eric Clapton

Why should I say I'm sorry?
If I hurt you, you know you've hurt me too
But you get lost inside your tears
And there is nothing I can do
'Cause I get lost inside my fear
That I am nothing without you

8. So Cold - Breaking Benjamin

Show me how it ends, it's all right
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's all right
Let's give this another try

If you find your family, don't you cry
In this land of make believe, dead and dry
You're so cold, but you feel alive
Lay your hand on me one last time

9. Sunrise, Sunset - Bright Eyes

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
Swiftly go the days
Sunrise, sunset, you wake up then you undress
It always is the same

But everything you do is leading to the point
Where you just won’t know what to do
And the moment that you're laughing
There is someone there who will be laughing louder than you
So it’s true, the trick is complete
You've become everything you said you never would be
You’re a fool, you're a fool

10. The Killing Lights - AFI

Am I beautiful? Am I useable?
It's killing time again
Put on your face and let's pretend
These killing lights won't kill us all again

You see, they always remember
They never forget a face
They will cut-cut-cut-cut-cut-cut,
Cut you up
Cut-cut-cut-cut, they remember
Cut-cut-cut-cut-cut-cut
Cut you up, cut you up

11. Start The Machine - Angels & Airwaves

You know I won't say sorry
You know I won't say sorry
The pain has a bad reaction
A blend of fear and passion
You know what it's like to believe
It makes me want to scream

12. So Far Away - Crossfade

No more sitting in this place
Hoping you might see it my way
Cause I don't think you ever understood
That what I'm looking for are the answers
To why these questions never go away

I'm so far away
I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
I'm so far away
Now I'm blaming you for everything

No more waiting for the end
Of everyday that I will spend
Wishing that I only had a choice

13. Schizophrenic Conversations - Staind

The strength of a tree begins in the roots
That I tend to bury into you
At least now the storm can't blow me away
So crawl inside my head with me
I'll show you how it feels to be,
To blame like me

So cold are the days where I listen to you
And you say that I'm weak; show me the proof
Because I still exist in spite of you
But I won't compete with you every day

14. Seasons To Cycles - 10 Years

So much can be said through silence
As hard as it seems, all that we need is too close to be seen
Our lives, you build your walls for me to climb
A billion walls for me to climb
You build your walls for me to climb

Travel's the very nature we'll live in
Seasons to cycles, children to men
Mislead and misread; company or companion
With all of our hearts we follow our dreams
Slightly out of reach

15. Beyond The Sunset - Blackmore's Night

(instrumental)

16. City Of Delusion - Muse

Destroy this city of delusion
Break these walls down
I will fight, justify my reasons
With your blood

You'll not rest or settle for less
Until you guzzle and squander what's left
Do not deny that you live and let die

17. Cardiff - Stone Sour

A man delivered can never make his way in darkness
I know tonight will end, but I won't give this life away
I won't give this life away again

This fluid feels like pain, this ruin feels like rain
I reach into the past, my future's fading fast
How many years ago, how many I let go
My flesh is all I have, my face is happenstance
This smoke is in my blood, this life is not enough
This life is not enough, this life is not enough

18. Sleeping Sun - Nightwish

For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime

Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
