Like a Shot in the Back...

ebonlockWell I've been threatening to post this for a while and since I just finished it last night I thought, what the heck. This will have way more meaning for you if you've seen the movie XMen: First Class, but you might enjoy it regardless...
Evolve by The Non-Commissioned Officers
We've been best friends
for oh so long now.
When I'm alone, you're always around.
Not that I don't appreciate you,
We just live by different values.
Would you miss me if I
became more civilized?
Don't want to fall behind this time...
I want to evolve!
Kill!Kill!Kill! by The Pierces
What were you doing in my dream last night, honey?
Well I thought I liked that you're uptight, baby...
Well it's a mystery to me how you keep on slipping in my mind
and it's downright dirty that this old wound won't heal with time...
Well you could wash my brain
you could tear out my heart
but I would never forget you.
You could change my world
I could make a new start
but I would never forget you
Elephant in the Room by Richard Walters
And I hope you can see, I'm more than this
this heap at your feet.
Who are you to judge me?
Who are you to preach?
Control has slipped away from me again...
For the Damaged by Blonde Redhead
Maybe again
He will be alone
Guess we're equally damaged
Find your name
Do it all the same equally
Signal when you can't breathe no more
Say you were me
Then you could see the view
You'll know we are equally damaged
Don't be a fool, make it easier
You'll learn to say when
Signal if you can't say, "no more"
Don't cross your finger
Sundays will never change
They keep on coming
You'll be a freak
And I'll keep you company...
Bulletproof...I Wish I was by Radiohead
Limb by limb and tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me
Every day every hour
I wish that I was bullet proof
Wax me
Mould me
Heat the pins and stab them in
You have turned me into this
Just wish that it was bullet proof
So pay the money and take a shot
Leadfill the hole in me
I could burst a million bubbles
All surrogate and bullet proof
Marrow by Anni DiFranco
The answer came like a shot in the back
while you ran from your lesson
which might explain why years
later all you could remember
was the terror of the question.
Cause I'm not listening to you anymore.
My head is too sore and my heart's perforated
and I am mired in the marrow of my
"Well ain't that funny?" bone,
learning how to be alone and devastated.
Where was my conscience?
Where was my consciousness?
And where do i put all these letters that
I wrote to myself but could not address?
Falling Down by Muse
I was calling your name
But you would never hear me sing
You wouldn’t let me begin
So I’m crawling away
Cause you broke my heart in two
No, I will not forget you
Telepathy by Emiliana Torrini
Think of me very scientifically
Share your thoughts with me
Send them over land and sea...
They seep through walls
Echo down abandoned halls
Let me see your joy and fear...
I can see into your eyes
The deepest blue of winter skies
Why is it so we never know
What we have until it's gone
Until we burn we never learn
What we have until it's gone
The Bones of You by Elbow
So I'm there,
charging around with a juggernaut brow.
Overdraft speeches and deadlines to make.
Cramming commitments like cats in a sack.
Telephone burn and a purposeful gait
When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch
of a song that I know and the world moves in slow-mo.
Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day...
And it's you and it's May
And we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away...
Fix You by Coldplay
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
All 10 songs and cover art here.
I think "Marrow" and "The Bones of You" are my favorite tracks, and the latter is practically fanfic in and of itself. Tracking down a copy of "Telepathy" was very nearly impossible but oh so worth it. Hope you enjoy!
