FST: Around for the Dawn

[nilchance]

The Killing Moon, Echo and the Bunnymen
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Colorblind, Counting Crows
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded and unfolded and unfolding
I am colorblind

Child Psychology, Black Box Recorder
Life is unfair
Kill yourself or get over it

Mercy of the Fallen, Dar Williams
There's the wind and the rain
And the mercy of the fallen
Who say they have no claim to know what's right
There's the weak and the strong
And the beds that have no answer
And that's where I may rest my head tonight

Fools Rush In, Elvis Presley
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Ballad for Dead Friends, Dashboard Prophets
I really wished I could have saved you
Then who would have saved me from myself

Learn to Be Still, The Eagles
It’s just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You’d give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will-

Never Is a Promise, Fiona Apple
You'll say, don't fear your dreams,
It's easier than it seems
You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high
But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie

Suenos Dolces, Zachariah and the Los Lobos Riders
Feels like I'm holding aces and eights
How'd I draw the dead man's hand?
Living my life in these altered states
Not exactly what I'd planned
Damn the opium to which I'm a slave
Damn the way it makes me misbehave
All I need's a bottle, a girl and a shave
I don't want to lie in a pauper's grave

Like Blood Like Honey, Holly Brook
You wanna catch your breath, you wanna get out
But as you surface, you don't really know how
How to live upon the solid ground
Well, sometimes it's easier to let yourself drown

Here in My Room, Incubus
You enter and close the door behind you
Now show me the world as seen from the stars
If only the lights would dim a little
I'm weary of eyes upon my scars

Dead Man, M. Ward
Dead man, dead man, believe
Dead man, dead man, believe
Believe
You're a free man at last --
at last, dead man, you are free

All the Way to Heaven, Melissa Etheridge
I want to find me a car
With only one headlight
A straight six Ford
On a good luck night
I want to roll down the windows
And teach you to fly
I want to give you a thrill
The kind you can't buy
I want to lose all your demons and go
I want to tear off your chains 'cause I know

Honey and the Moon, Joseph Arthur
But right now
everything is turning blue,
and right now
the sun is trying to kill the moon,
and right now
I wish I could follow you
to the shores of freedom
where no one lives

Unchained Melody, Righteous Brothers
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, 'Wait for me, wait for me'
'I'll be coming home, wait for me!'

Reckoning Song, Asaf Avidan & The Mojos
One day, baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of other stories that we could've told

Set Fire to the Third Bar, Snow Patrol and Martha Wainwright
And miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

American Baby, Dave Matthews Band
Nobody's laughing now
God's grace lost and the devil is proud
But I've been walking for a thousand miles
One last time, I could see you smile

Billy Joel, Lullaby (Goodnight My Angel)
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep
Inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me

Wow, you have some fantastic songs on here! Some I'm not familiar with but I ADORE "Colourblind" so any playlist that includes that one gets a thumbs up from me. *g*

The beginning of 'Like Blood Like Honey' and the icon for this verse are messing with me man. Holy shit. It's like being kicked in the head. In a very, very, good way.

Thanks so much for sharing darlin.

Holy shit, these songs sound awesome. I've been playing "Set fire to the third bar" on non-stop repeat for the last week while I write my apocalyptothon fic, but everything else is new and tantalising *hits 'right click and save' a lot* Thanks for putting these up!
