♟ "Hope on Fire" by Vienna Teng

⇘ gotta see, gotta be, if they're all going astray
don't let them take you in tow
you're a one-man shift in the weather
you don't need guarantees, you just want something to build
before you turn to the knife
when the streets are aflood like a fever, it's a holiday of the new
we're coming closer now to the truth
ooh you're gonna make your mark this time, ooh you're gonna set your hope on fire
i'm running out of time they're closing in on us
gotta move, gotta choose, you've got a difference to make
don't watch it happen again
gotta change, rearrange, something's bending to break
it's just a matter of when...

♟ "Walk Away" by Franz Ferdinand

⇘ innocence for pride, crush the end within my stride
said, "i'm strong now i know that i'm a leader"
i love the sound of you walking away, why don't you walk away?
no buildings will fall down, no quake will split the ground
the sun won't swallow the sky, no statues will cry
i cannot turn to see those eyes, as apologies may rise
i must be strong and stay an unbeliever
oh as you walk away, my headstone crumbles down
the Hollywood winds howl, the Kremlins fall
the radio is static oh as you walk away
stalin smiles and hitler laughs
churchhill claps mao tse-tung on the back

♟ "What A Sight" by Matchbook Romance

⇘ what a sight, never thought i'd find you here
last i knew you disappeared, well, we all get lost
i thought i had lost you amongst the mess
in the cluttered things in my head, but here you are
when you wake, i'll be a thousand miles away...
i'm a dreamer with nothing left to dream,
trying to tear a hole into the seam of reality
i would leave to return more lost than before
a little more tired, a little less sure of where i was
the earth would move but we would stand in place
hiding in the shadows of the dead, we're almost out of time
thought i lost you amongst the mess
and the demons in my head
but here you are
don't ever forget me i thought i lost you

♟ Idylls of the King by The Mountain Goats

⇘ this place with its old plantations, these roads leading out to sea
this day full of promise and potential, more clay pigeons for you and me
huge crows loitering by the curb, our shared paths unraveling behind us like ribbons
i dreamed of vultures in the trees behind our house, and cicadas and locusts and the shrieking of innumerable gibbons
how long will we ride this way about? how long 'til someone caves under the pressure?
my dreams are haunted by armies, armies of ghosts, faces too blurry to make out,
numbers far too high to measure, and your face like a vision straight out of holly hobby
late light drizzling through your hair, your eyes twin volcanoes
bad ideas dancing around in there
all of them, all of them, all lined up...

♟ Into The Night by Say anything

⇘ if i was a fly and i had a day left til i died
i would lay down til tomorrow, you're clipping my wings
i try to win you back with all the words that you know mean nothing
you could have believed in me
as i gag on my guts 'cuz i'm watching you give up
i'm a tear in the clock as you walk away
they say, "at least he's still my friend,
and he'll treat you kindly in the end"
call me bitter but i'm brimming with hate for both of you
i can almost see a shade of your blue eyes fading away into the night
you never believed in me, but i will believe in me
and the rage will lift me up, i hope you choke on his tongue
as i walk away, i will not watch his hands
as they deftly pull you away into the night
