These clothes don't fit us right
I'm to blame
It's all the same
It's all the same
– Country Feedback, R.E.M.

Soon it will all be over, and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love
– Little Talks, Of Monsters & Men

Now what would it take to break
I believe that you can bend
Not only do you have to fight
But you have got to win
– Kung Fu Fighting, Cee Lo Green feat. Jack Black

Touch, sweet touch
You've given me too much to feel
Sweet touch
You've almost convinced me I'm real
I need something more

Daft Punk - Touch

And the stars fill the river
As it flows into the sky
And the mind leaves the body
And floats higher and higher

Lord Huron - Wait by the River

Suppose the world was not informed
By real estate or power lines?
The hidden river of my life
Pursued by love

Sufjan Stevens - Hidden River of My Life

You taught me the courage of stars before you left
How light carries on endlessly, even after death
With shortness of breath, you explained the infinite
How rare and beautiful it is to even exist

Sleeping At Last - Saturn

1. It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love and I'm walking in
This quiet company
This quiet company
-The National, Terrible Love

2. And all the gold dust in her eyes won't reform into rain
You had and lost the one thing
You kept in a safe place
Remember the face
Of the girl who had made you her own
And how you left her alone
-Joshua Radin, Star Mile

3. Sometimes people leave you
Halfway through the wood
Others may deceive you
You decide what's good
You decide alone
But no one is alone
-Into the Woods, No One is Alone

Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take Me To Church - Hozier

2: What in the hell is wrong with me? Am I just broken?

And watch from far away
But you always knew that you'd be the one
To work while they all play

better to keep you on your toes
before you get to be too much to handle
This is why you ought to stay a stranger

And I can see you now, in a small room,
In a high rise, in a long hall.
All the umbrellas in the Newcastle rain,
Come back to cover me again.
-Newcastle Rain, The Wave Pictures.

Do you remember that sunny day
Somewhere in London
In the middle of nowhere
Didn't have nothing to do that day
Didn't want to do nothing anyway
-Haunted, The Popes

Small apartment, ok side of town
Somebody in my building must be wigging out
Nine complaints in three weeks
The landlord's really coming down on me
He says if he gets just one more call
In the middle of the night about my stereo
I'm gone
-Neighbor Down The Hall, Benji Hughes.

On the run from a creepy magic cult that dearly wants to get his blood isn't what Desmond would consider the ideal circumstances to visit London at the best of times, and this is far from the best of times. His grasp on his own magic's grown better -- amazing what a few weeks of being forced to relive your ancestor's memories will do to a guy -- but that still doesn't mean he does well with calling it up under stress.

Unfortunately, tactics to evade human pursuers just don't work all that well on shadow constructs, but he does have some ideas on how to get rid of them. His feet pound against the stone as he turns a sharp corner and flings himself into the brilliant, blinding sunlight of Trafalgar Square, glancing over his shoulder and very much not looking where he's going.

Synchronicity's links and tendrils can last for ages, apparently. John's happy to be back in London, minding his own bloody business, and there's Des running up the street like a nonce. "Oi!" John begins running after him, not at the briskest pace. His lungs aren't cancerous any longer, but they're still shite. "Oi! Slow down, you numpty!"

That's not a voice he was expecting to hear. It is, to some extent, a voice Desmond dreads -- in the way a dog might learn to associate the ring of a bell to disaster or something unpleasant to follow -- because for better or worse, his life's gotten a lot more complicated since meeting John. Not that it's John's fault, naturally, but his life used to be just a rather ordinary sort of miserable, and now it's a magical sort.

He slows down a touch, but it's only so he can grab John by the wrist, heart pounding in his chest and temples streaked with sweat. Wherever he's been, he's been running a while, and he looks disgustingly fitter than when John last saw him, a little harder, a little leaner.

"Not a good time to catch up, John," he pants, and points in the direction where he came. There -- something wrong with the shadows under a statue, something trying to cross the threshold of light to get to where Desmond's standing with him.

"It never is," John grumbles. He can keep up, but he's panting far more than Desmond. "Tell me what the bloody fuck is following you so I can trounce it."

Polite confidence is for people who have time. At the moment, all John can think is how much he wants to stop fucking running.

Of course John would assume he could deal with them. Maybe he actually can, though -- he's been at this game far longer than Desmond has, and he isn't dead yet, so that's got to count for something.

"Shadow constructs," he supplies, deigning to slow his stride enough so John's lungs don't explode. After half a beat, he adds, "Probably triggered a trap when I stole this book."

He raps at his stomach, where on closer inspection, a distinctly square-edged shape is bulging from under his hoodie.

This, inevitably, gets John's approval. He snickers. "Guardian constructs," John says, and he looks very canny while he does it. "Shadow Guardians. Stupid buggers."

And he stops running. Holding a hand out before him, he shouts- "Cimeies, Cimejes and Cimeries! I hail you in the name of Kimaris, to sew the seed of your master mistress! Bransg chis-ge, chiso teloch!"

If it's possible for shadows to look nervous, they do, stopping in their tracks. The rest of London doesn't seem to notice them, passing John by as some shouting loon best left ignored. John looks to Desmond. "Say, lad, why'd you nick the book, then?"

The shadow constructs do look nervous, but whatever compulsion in the spellwork that wrought them still hums through whatever they have that passes for veins. Whoever wrote their operating instructions didn't include 'self-preservation' as a directive.

Desmond, on the other hand, is sensible enough to step to place John between himself and the shadow constructs. Whatever comes next, he already knows he doesn't want to be in the middle of it. The question makes him, uncharacteristically perhaps, hesitate.

"Because it might have an answer to a question." Vaguer than John would probably like, but that much, at least, is true. And any other forthcoming explanation will have to wait, because the shadows attempt to lunge forward then.

"Perfect," John says over his shoulder, "better not be lying."

He raises his hand, and the shadows watch his hand with their eyeless faces. "Ananael, angelard, apila aqlo baltim." He points his fingers at the shadows. "Now fuck off."

They begin to back away slowly. John looks back at Desmond. "You need to learn Enocian, mate. Makes this shite loads easier. Heaps."

1.
And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me
Cause I'm not here
- I'm Still Here, John Rzeznik

2.
My beloved monster and me
We go everywhere together
Wearing a raincoat that has four sleeves
Gets us through all kinds of weather
- My Beloved Monster, The Eels

3.
My, what big teeth you have
They're so sparkling white
I bet you hear this from all of your food
But you must bleach at night
- Donkey Pot Pie, Shrek the Musical

4. He brought me out into the hall, I could have sworn it was haunted
And told me something that I didn't know that I wanted:

To hear that there was nothing that I could do to save you
The choir's gonna sing, and this thing is gonna kill you
Something in my throat made my next words shake
And something in the wires made the light-bulbs break
-- Two, The Antlers

1.
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

-TMBG, Little Birdhouse in Your Soul

2.
My window pane has a lovely view
An inch of sky and a fly or two
Why, I can see half a tree
And what more do I need?
My window pane may not give much light
But I see you, so the view is bright
If I can love you, I'll pay the dirt no heed
With your love, what more do I need?

-Stephen Sondheim, What More Do I Need

3.
Look underneath the house there
Find the few living things, rotting fast, in their sleep
Of the dead
Twenty-seven people
Even more, they were boys, with their cars, summer jobs
Oh my God
Ooh, are you one of them?

- Sufjan Stevens, John Wayne Gacy, Jr.

1. Take me back, to where this started and rearrange,
the course of time
'Cause it's the only way, to end the sorrow
And you remind me, why I'm so, hollow
-Hollow, The Anix

2. But Can we live a real life?
A real life; and do we even know what that means?
Can we live a real life; and know people outside machines?
Can we live a real life between the devil and the digital sea?
-A Real Life, Greek Fire

3. And I'm not scared of
What the future will bring
We're all dust in the making
Chasing dreams as we're waking
-World of Trouble, Vian Izak

01.
It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
We can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable
Oh well, the devil makes us sin
But we like it when we're spinning in his grip
Love is like a sin, my love,
For the ones that feel it the most
Look at her with her eyes like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you again
— Massive Attack, Paradise Circus

02.
Crawlin' back to you
Ever thought of callin' when
You've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too
Busy bein' yours
To fall for somebody new
Now, I've thought it through
Crawlin' back to you
— Arctic Monkeys, Do I Wanna Know

03.
You say
Come over baby
I think you're pretty
I'm okay
I'm not your baby
If you think I'm pretty
You should see me in a crown
I'm gonna run this nothing town
Watch me make 'em bow
One by one by, one
— Billie Eilish, You Should See Me in a Crown

1. Fight so dirty, but your love's so sweet
Talk so pretty, but your heart got teeth
Late night devil, put your hands on me
And never, never, never ever let go
- Teeth, 5 Seconds of Summer

2. You don't know now who you are
You don't know now what love is for
The mirror face you see is strange
There's no one here to share your pain
- Labyringh, Oomph

3. It's a thin line between all this love and hate
And if you switch sides, you're gon' have to claim your place
So baby, this time you're gon' have to seal your fate
Yeah baby, this time you're gon' have to seal your fate
- Hate me, Ellie Goulding & Juice Wrld

a. Oh Patty, your daddy
Well he's richer than anyone
Yeh he's richer than everyone
In this whole stinking world
Ain't it pretty in the city
When you're nothing like anyone
When you're other to everyone
You're a valuable girl
the indelicates

b. I'm not scared of dying
I just don't want to
If I'd stop lying I'd just disappoint you
I come undone
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
I pray that when I'm coming down you'll be asleep
If I ever hurt you, your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum and I'm your son
I come undone
robbie williams

i. SPARKS FROM THE FIRE RISE UP TO THE SKY
HIGHER AND HIGHER, OH I WANT TO FLY
OUT OF THE STORY, THIS TIME I’LL BE FREE
WAKE UP FOR A MOMENT FROM THIS DREAM OF ME

ii. AND I’M JUST GETTING STARTED, LET ME OFFEND
THE DEVIL’S GOT NOTHING ON ME MY FRIEND
ALL I WANT IS TO BE LEFT ALONE
TACT FROM ME IS LIKE BLOOD FROM A STONE

iii. SHADOWS DANCE AROUND THE ROOM
I KNOW THEIR NAMES
I CARRY THEIR BLOOD TOO
THEY SING FORGOTTEN SONGS
BUT I KNOW THE WORDS
THEY’VE BEEN WITH ME SINCE I WAS BORN
AS I GREW I DANCED WITH THEM TOO

iv. I’M WICKED THROUGH AND THROUGH
SINCE I CAN NOT SUCCEED
WEISS, SAVING YOU
I PROMISE NO GOOD DEED
WILL I ATTEMPT TO DO AGAIN
EVER AGAIN
NO GOOD DEED
WILL I DO AGAIN

v. wait FOR ME, I’M COMING
WAIT, I’M COMING with you
WAIT for me, I’M COMING too
I’M COMING TOO
