"STICKS AND STONES"
THE PIERCES
Sun in the sky, I am stopping you from burning. All we need is stars and moon. Clock on the wall, I will keep your hands from turning, or this night will end too soon. I'm the one you want. I'm the one you want. I'm the one you want. Hey lover boy, oh, now do you believe me? That's not all that I can do. Sit back down, I'm afraid we won't be leaving, can't undo my spell on you. Well, sticks and stones will break your bones and leave you lying in the mud. But you get scared when we're alone, like I might suck your blood. And I could tell you a witch's spell, but you just might blow your top. Then you start to run just as I'm having fun, and it's awfully hard to stop. It's just too hard to stop. I don't think I can stop.

"MAKE ME WANNA DIE"
THE PRETTY RECKLESS
Take me, I'm alive; never was a girl with a wicked mind, but everything looks better when the sun goes down. I had everything, opportunities for eternity, but I could belong to the night. Your eyes, your eyes. I can see in your eyes, your eyes. You make me wanna die. I'll never be good enough. You make me wanna die, and everything you love will burn up in the light. Every time I look inside your eyes, you make me wanna die. Taste me, drink my soul, show me all the things that I shouldn't know, and there's a new moon on the rise.

"FUTURE FOE SCENARIOS"
SILVERSUN PICKUPS
This revolution, baby, proves who you work for lately. Who do you work for, baby, and does it work for you, lately? But when the night is over and the walls keep linking, when fire starts to matter and the clock keeps sinking, cliches and other chatter keeps our minds from thinking, our minds keep thinking. It's all right. That's when it turned on me, a motorcade of "meant to bes", parades of beauty queens where soft entwines make kindling. These many detailed things, like broken nails and plastic rings, will win by keeping me from speaking to my new darling. And there's no way to know our future foe scenarios. That's when it turned on me, where bobby pins hold angel wings. It's all right.

"GIRL WITHOUT A PLANET"
MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT
She wakes up in the morning with a zodiac smile, steps inside the body of a lost and lonely child. A hurricane churns in her brain, little miss no-tomorrow. She’s the girl without a planet, a girl without a home. She’s the girl without a planet, an angel all alone. There’s garbage in her veins, and reptiles in her head. Pretty poison nightmare with serpents in her bed. After dusk her eyes glow for the tease of sex. Play with bombs and things explode, little miss no-tomorrow. It’s time to think it over, it’s time you learn to heal. It’s time you change the record, spin the wheel, girl without a planet.

"DESTROYING ANGEL"
SNEAKER PIMPS
I know you know my head's not in this now. It's nothing you can keep, so keep me down. Like the stones beneath the water that you walk on to be taller and the hands you stabbed together, because you prayed you'd wait forever. Just another fragile angel heart, falling down on lead wings, torn apart. And what you have the nerve to call a friend is starved of all the sense to make amends, because I'm the glass you break to touch, but you never want me much. Like the view across the water from your shoes, and two feet smaller. I know it doesn't pay to be this hurt. Falling off the morning, getting worse...and the words beneath my skin, the ink that you put in, destroying all the things you left around. I'm earthbound, coming down, come down, come down...come around, I'm down.

"THE ABSENCE OF GOD"
RILO KILEY
I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it. We're just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers, but there's no relief for the bleeding heart, 'cause they'll be losing bodies tonight. And Rob says "you love, love, love, love and then you die..." I've watched him while sleeping and seen him crying with closed eyes. And you're not happy, but you're funny, and I'm tripping over my joy. I just keep on getting up again. We could be daytime drunks if we wanted, but we'd never get anything done that way, baby, and we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectives. And I'm not my perspective, or the lies I'll tell you every time. Morgan says, "maybe love won't let you down. All of your failures are training grounds, and just as your back's turned, you'll be surprised," she says, "as your solitude subsides." And I'll teach you how to swim, if you turn the bad in me into good again. And I say there's trouble when everything is fine. The need to destroy things creeps up on me every time. Just as love's silhouette appears, I close my eyes and disappear, tonight...and something's got to change, 'cause our love's the slowest moving train.

"PRECIOUS THINGS"
TORI AMOS
So I ran faster, but it caught me here, yes, my loyalties turned, like my ankle in the seventh grade. Running after Billy, running after the rain. I wanna smash the faces of those beautiful boys, those Christian boys. So you can make me cum; that doesn't make you Jesus. Those demigods with their nine inch nails and little fascist panties tucked inside the heart of every nice girl. These precious things, let them bleed, let them wash away. These precious things, let them break, let them wash away. These precious things, let them bleed now, let them wash away. These these precious things, let them break their hold over me.

"BLEED SLOW"
ATMOSPHERE
I think her ponytail's a little too tight, because she's alone walking with me in this moonlight. Tonight she fits in my palm, the storm isn't anywhere close to calm. Look, I've gone and captured the mortal, put my face to hers, clutched her by the torso, and when the lips touched, I inhaled. Didn't matter that she hadn't been kissed much. Take her, take her away to where she didn't need to go; live fast, bleed slow. Will he ever know the power of speak? Wouldn't be what it was if the prey wasn't weak. Take a peek into the way I seek, the water for the creek, the daughter of the speak, slaughter of the meek, the Godly technique. The monster march is to a different beat. No one like him spoke before. Love 'em and leave 'em, love 'em and they leave you. All he ever wanted was to teach you, to reach you. Death is the cousin of sleep. Just close your eyes, count sheep, and breathe deep. Think about the sound of relief that surrounds you. You were already gone before I found you. Live fast, bleed slow.

"DISSOLVED GIRL"
MASSIVE ATTACK
Shame, such a shame. I think I kind of lost myself again. Day, yesterday; really should be leaving, but I stay. Say, say my name. I need a little love to ease the pain. It's easy to remember when it came. 'Cause it feels like I've been, I've been here before. You are not my savior, but I still don't go. Feels like something that I've done before. I could fake it, but I still want more. Fade, made to fade. Passion's overrated, anyway. It feels like I've been here before. You are not my savior, but I still don't go.

"HOW DIRTY GIRLS GET CLEAN"
HOLE
I've lost my mind, I've lost control, I've the lost the feeling in my arms, I'm a lost soul. Make the most of me, baby, oh don't spit me out, don't leave me now. Listen to her lust, hear her disgrace. Listen to the fragile things as they all break. And I wanted you like no one before, said you're coming back for me, honey. This is how hell forms, this is how a storm begins, this is how trouble's born. Listen to her sleep, listen to her wail. You've given birth to terrible things, watch them unveil. What are you staring at? This is how it's done. I will define for you the meaning of greed. While you were vanishing, this dirty girl got clean. What angry star runs your devil heart? How'd you get so mean?

"NO LIGHT, NO LIGHT"
FLORENCE + THE MACHINE
You are the hole in my head, you are the space in my bed. You are the silence in between what I thought and what I said. You are the nighttime fear, you are the morning when it’s clear. When it’s over, you're the start. You’re my head, you’re my heart. You are the crowded islands, crying out at me. In your place there were a thousand other faces. I will disappear in plain sight. Heaven help me, I need to make it right. Tell me what you want me to say, but would you leave me, if I told you what I’ve done? And would you need me, if I told you what I’ve become? 'Cause it’s so easy to sing it so cold. But it’s so hard, my love, to say it to you, all alone. 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. Tell me what you want me to say. You are the revelation. You want to get it right, but it’s a conversation I just can’t have tonight. You are the revelation, some kind of revolution. Tell me what you want me to say.
