help, I’m alive - metric

help, I’m alive,
                my heart keeps beating like a hammer
                hard to be soft,
                tough to be tender.

heard it all - emilie autumn

there are too many hands
                touching where I stand,
                and I can’t fall,
                because you’ll try and catch me

down and out - the academy is…

always up or down,
                never down and out.
                dream of demons while you sleep
                that make you stutter when you speak

there, there, katie - jack’s mannequin

I’m sorry that in your condition
                the sunshine’s been missing
                but don’t believe
                that it isn’t there.

kiss with a fist - florence + the machine

a kick in the teeth
 is good for some;
a kiss with a fist
 is better than none.

love, save the empty - erin mccarley

is this how I shoot myself up high
                just high enough to get through?

raw sugar - metric

sort of wonder why
                no one said a word.
                don’t you like it on the sly,
                don’t you like it till it hurts?

too much too often - phantom planet

now without stopping
                it’s too much too often;
                out of the cradle
                and into the coffin.

scarecrow - between the trees

all the space in between
                the soul and the seams;
                maybe I wasn’t made for this world.

horror of our love - ludo

oh, the horror of our love;
                never so much blood
                pulled through my veins.

the kill - the dresden dolls

say what you will,
                I am the kill.
                the only thing that keeps you
                really, truly safe
                from being real.

rescued - jack’s mannequin

two to one,
                static to the sound of you and I
                undone for the last time.

hurricane - the hush sound

you’re the finest thing that I’ve done;
                the hurricane I’ll never outrun.
                I could wait around for the dust to still,
                but I don’t believe that it ever will.

40 steps - the academy is…

you were calling with your questions
                when all I needed was to know.
                and it feels like flames
                surrounding me here.

swim - jack’s mannequin

I swim for brighter days
                despite the absence of sun;
                choking on saltwater
                I’m not giving in,
