petit à petit, arcadian ( x )
if i could tell a secret / to the kid of the time that i was / who wanted everything in a hurry / but without ever loving himself rather, oh / little one, you'll see if you believe in yourself, little by little / little one, you will love, you will grow

la vie est belle, nassi ( x )
my banker thinks i might need somebody to help me / whereas my therapist says i actually need somebody to love me / the passing time always leads us to face ourselves / if it's not me, who'll resolve my problems

qué vendrá, zaz ( x )
in everything i do / rage and love embrace each other / be it mine or be it yours / life goes beyond us / what will come, what will come / i write my path / without thinking, without thinking / where it's going to end

Or bring your own.

When I Was Done Dying - Dan Deacon

And the ocean grew up quickly right up all around
And the earth looked at me and said "Wasn't that fun?"
And I replied "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone"
And without even thinking cast me into space
But before she did that she wiped off my own face
She said better luck next time don't worry so much

Click Click - Danny Michel

I had a dream that I talked to God
He never heard of us I found that odd
I had a dream that we found ourselves
Put our faith in each other and wished 'em well

Pinball - Brian Protheroe

Mama if I keep my head clean
Will I really have a good dream
Or will I wake up in confusion just the same?

Old Blue - The Byrds

My old Blue, he was a good old hound
You could hear him hollering miles around
When I get to Heaven first thing I'll do
Is grab my horn and call for Blue

Freedom - Jurassic 5

What mean the world to me is bein' free
Live and let live and just let it be (Let it be)
Love peace and harmony, one universal family
One God, one aim and one destiny

1. DAFFODIL - FLORENCE + THE MACHINE

there is no bad, there is no good
i drank every sky that i could
made myself mythical, tried to be real
saw my future in the face of a
daffodil

2. THE GOLDEN AGE - SUSANNE SUNDFOR

slowly, i wake from a dream to be in another dream
where everything moves to the beat of a resonating drum
it rings louder and louder and longer and longer
all the way to the border
and back to when we were young and out of our minds

3. GROWING UPSIDE DOWN - THE DITTY BOPS

can't escape a past
that wasn't ever lived
all beginnings ended
come back to start again
and the people seem to falter
as they watch you fall asunder

4. THANK GOD I’M PRETTY - EMILIE AUTUMN

thank you, god
oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
and when a gaggle of faces appears around me
it's lucky, i hate to be taken seriously
i think my ego would fall right through the cracks in the floor
if i couldn't count on men to slap my ass anymore
i know my destiny's such that i must stocking and curl
so everybody thinks that i'm a fucking suicide girl
oh-oh-oh

1. Heavy In Your Arms - Florence + The Machine

Who is the betrayer?
Who's the killer in the crowd?
The one who creeps in corridors
And doesn't make a sound

2. Remember Everything - Five Finger Death Punch

Oh, dear mother, I love you
I'm sorry, I wasn't good enough
Dear father, forgive me
'Cause in your eyes, I just never added up
In my heart I know I failed you, but you left me here alone

3. Suffer - Staind

I tried to keep it all inside
It didn't leave me too much pride
I forced it all down inside
Forced myself to make me suffer

4. The Art Of Breaking - Thousand Foot Krutch

I think I might just lose my mind
If I have to watch this one more time
I can't explain how many times I've
Stayed for you when you were on my mind
No one ever said that it was easy
So come out of the cold and stop your bleeding
I never would've thought that things could
Go this far, but please believe me

5. When I'm Gone - 3 Doors Down

There's another world inside of me that you may never see
There's secrets in this life that I can't hide
But somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Well maybe it's too far away, yeah
Or maybe I'm just blind
Or maybe I'm just blind

1. House Un-American Blues Activity Dream - Mimi & Richard Farina -- (so i hopped on a plane, i took a pill for my brain / and i discovered i was feeling all right / when i strolled down the prado, people looked at me weird / who's that hippy hoppy character without any beard? / drinking juice from papayas, singing songs to the trees / dancing mambo on the beaches, spreading social disease)

2. Is There Anybody Here - Phil Ochs -- (is there anybody here proud of the parade / who'd like to give a cheer and show they're not afraid? / i'd like to ask him what he's trying to defend / i'd like to ask him what he thinks he's gonna win // i wanna see him / i wanna wish him luck / i wanna shake his hand / wanna call his name / put a medal on the man)

3. Settle Down - Judy Collins -- (goin' down that highway, goin' to another town / honey when i find what i'm looking for, maybe i'll settle down / why don't you help me brother, i'm a stranger in your town / why don't you help me brother, maybe i'll settle down / worked my way from boston to the san francisco bay / but honey what i'm looking for, i didn't find along the way)

4. Sing for Your Supper - The Mamas & The Papas -- (sing for your supper, and you'll get breakfast / songbirds always eat / if their song is sweet to hear / sing for your luncheon, and you'll get dinner / dine with wine of choice / if romance is in your voice / i heard from a wise canary / trilling makes a fellow willing / so little swallow, swallow now / now is the time to / sing for your supper and you'll get breakfast / songbirds are not dumb / they don't buy a crumb of bread / it's said / so sing and you'll be fed)

5. [ bring your own ]

[ info & permissions! ]

o1. dance with the shadows — riverside ( x. )

I don't care if what I want / Is written in my eyes / You can think of me what you feel / I don't really mind
Before you come and tell me who I am / Before you try to make me someone else / Step out of your line / Step out of line
Shall we dance my friend? / Join in the shadow dance

o2. fighting for a lost cause — antimatter ( x. )

These are the hours on the range / The more you show them / The more they choose to take away / Some things never change in the wings / And as it's your war / There'll be no escape at all.
Defeated I, fighting for a lost cause.

o3. black honey - thrice ( x. )

I keep swingin' my hand through a swarm of bees 'cause I / I want honey on my table
But I never get it right / No, I never get it right
I keep swingin' my hand through a swarm of bees / I can't understand why they're stingin' me / But I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please / I'll do it again / 'til I've got what I need

You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go blind
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there

Mazzy Star - Fade Into You

At the stake
We don't fight the flames
Are you born in vain
If you die your savior?

Aly & AJ - Joan of Arc on the Dance Floor

I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain
And now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

The Sundays - Wild Horses

When you're out with the birds of prey
They watch and they feed
They take what they need
They bite as you bleed

Christina Aguilera - Birds of Prey

There's a shark in the pool
And a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbour and he's been watching me
And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
Something's under the bed
Now it's out in the hedge
There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall

Shivaree - Goodnight Moon

The World is Not Enough||Garbage
I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No one ever died

From wanting too much
The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love

S.O.S (Anything But Love)|| Apocalyptica
So go on, infect me
Go on and scare me to death
I'll be the victim
You'll be the voice in my head
You could give me anything but love

Mordred's Lullaby||Heather Dale
Guileless Son, each day you grow older
Each moment I'm watching my vengeance unfold
For the child of my body, the flesh of my soul
Will die in returning the birthright he stole
Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty
Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty only to me

You Should See Me In A Crown||Billie Eilish
Count my cards, watch them fall
Blood on a marble wall
I like the way they all
Scream

The Tradition||Halsey
So take what you want, take what you can
Take what you please, don't give a damn
Ask for forgiveness, never permission
Take what you want, take what you can
Take what you please, don't give a damn
It's in the blood and this is tradition

A Little Wicked||Valerie Broussard
No one calls you honey, when you're sitting on a throne
I'll be high up in that tower, he'll be down there getting stoned
Beware the patient woman, 'cause this much I know
No one calls you honey when, you're sitting on a throne

Mordred's Lullaby||Heather Dale
Guileless Son, I'll shape your belief
And you'll always know that your father's a thief
And you won't understand the cause of your grief
But you'll always follow the voices beneath
Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty
Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty only to me

Night of the Hunter||Thirty Seconds to Mars
Blessed by a bitch from a bastard seed
Pleasure to meet you, but better to bleed
Rise, I'll rise, I'll rise
Skinned her alive, ripped her apart
Scattered her ashes, buried her heart
Rise up above it, high up above and see
Pray to your god, open your heart
Whatever you do, don't be afraid of the dark

Hunt||Alunah
As I move through the earth like a snake, all the pain in my heart makes it break
As the crack in my mind starts to ache, while my body fills with hate
The moon and the stars up above, they only speak the language of love
And when push comes to shove, now all I want from you is your blood
Blood. Blood. Blood
Oh, I will hunt you down
I will hunt you down
I will hunt you down

Throne||Saint Mesa
I bleed applause, I'm fading slow
Alone, distraught, without control
Believe there's freedom, took my soul
I'll burn your shit alive and take the throne

Burned||Grace VanderWaal
You didn't blow out the candles
Oh, little boy, you'll never learn
You don't play with fire
But you're already burned
You're already burned
Blow out the candles
Oh, little boy, you'll never learn
You don't play with fire
But you're already burned
You're already burned

How Villains Are Made||Madalen Duke
Two armies are coming at me
Their flags and weapons look the same
One tells the truth, the other's lying
And they're both calling my name
This is how villains are made
This is how villains are made
Ooh, ooh
No one ever starts that way
But this is how villains are made

Arrow||The Irrepressibles
When you made a pact with him
A secret that you'd keep
That you'd forget that sin
Could be so warm, so free!
That you could find such release.
My dear Sebastian
In every breath we complete
The meaning of our truth
The meaning of our design

The Sun is Often Out|| Patrick Wolf
Well, is your work of art so heavy that it will not let you live?
You'll be missed
Soon there'll be flowers in the river, tears been shed
You'll be missed, you'll be missed

The Boy I Love is Up in the Gallery||
The boy I love is up in the gallery,
The boy I love is looking now at me,
There he is, can't you see, waving his handkerchief,
As merry as a robin that sings on a tree.

No Light, No Light||Florence + the Machine
'Cause it's so easy
To sing it to a crowd
But it's so hard, my love
To say it to you out loud

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light (no light)
Tell me what you want me to say

Milk & Honey||Billie Marten
But all you want is milk
More than you can drink
All you want is honey
You can't take the sting
You live for over-kill, but you're ungrateful still
All you want is honey, well, honey I tried
You just want more
You just want more
Honey, I tried to make it work
You're unsatisfied
You make it worse
Honey, I died

We Have It All||The Pim Stones
There was fire around us, so I should have known why
The touch of his hands were as cold as his eyes
So don't you tell me we weren't hypnotised
(Whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh)

( m/f for shipping/smut, ota for everything else! character info in profile/journal-

tl;dr: supernatural spec ops captain with pyrokinetic powers who got her soul accidentally fused to her phoenix partner's in an emergency life-saving attempt which gave her his powers on top of her own. )

scars, boy epic (x.)

This is the end
My beloved friends
I'm lost in dreams
And all I know, is where I've been

Run, love
I'm the truth that you're afraid of
I'm a fever, that you made up
Just a martyr, on a bridge that's burning down

against the tide, celldweller (x.)

I finally get what you've been saying
Now that we're knee-deep, side by side
The storm clouds are circling above us
As we struggle against the tide
I feel your grip firm on my shoulder
But this fear won't subside

the heart of everything, within temptation (x.)

Open up your eyes, save yourself from fading away now
Don't let it go
Open up your eyes
See what you've become, don't sacrifice
It's truly the heart of everything

Stay with me now I'm facing
My last solemn hour
Very soon, I'll embrace you from the other side

bitter end, the veer union (x.)

Took a thousand scars to find me
Every one of them reminds me

I won't ever surrender like that
I know better to ever fall back
The enemy was living in my head
I ripped it out and left it there for dead
Now I'm alive, I'm feeling born again
And I will fight until the bitter end

Edited 2023-01-10 15:37 (UTC)

lifeline, bad wolves (x.)

In our hiding, tension traps out lives
Like a critic's life to put on trial
The strain remains the same
You hold your own acclaims
My last words don't die on the vines

I don't know if I can carry this on my own

hairline fracture, rise against (x.)

A promise kept, the dirt unswept
A poorly worn disguise
A child unloved that then grows up
To love what we despise

We're broken but still breathing
We are wounded but we are healing
We pick up right where we left off
Breathe on the ashes that remain

lost boys, essenger/young medicine (x.)

Time is up, your days are few
Fate's unkind to those like you
Pick your poison, I'll hunt you down
Dig your grave at the edge of town
Not a trace left to be found

kingdom of cards, bad omens(x.)

Gave it all to burn forever underneath the rain
Drowning in the present of a past I couldn't change
Writing songs instead of letters because I'm too afraid
Afraid of coming back to find that everything is the same

Everything is the same
