RABBIT HEART (RAISE IT UP) / FLORENCE + THE MACHINE
i look around but i can’t find you (raise it up) / if only i could see your face (raise it up) / instead of rushing towards the skyline (raise it up) / i wish that i could just be brave / i must become a lion-hearted girl, ready for a fight / before i make the final sacrifice
DUST BOWL DANCE / MUMFORD & SONS
i’ve been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen / and i have no idea where else my heart could have been / i placed all my trust at the foot of this hill / and now i am sure my heart could never be still / so collect your courage and collect your horse / and pray you never feel this same kind of remorse
NEPTUNE / SLEEPING AT LAST
you let me set sail with cheap wood / so i patched up every leak that i could / 'til the blame grew too heavy, stitch by stitchy i tear apart / if brokenness is a work of art, i must be a poster child prodigy / thread by thread i come apart / if brokenness is a form of art, surely this must be my masterpiece
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE / LENNON STELLA
been drilled in my head forever, be better / turns out i’m just like everybody else / don’t even go near a mirror, it’ll kill ya / trust me, you don’t wanna see yourself / fuck the noise, it’s too late, it’s the choices / now i don’t even wanna be someone / what made me think i was special? i’m not special / turns out i’m like everybody else
MOWGLI’S ROAD / MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS
there's a fork in the road, i'll do as as i am told / well, i don't know, (don't know don't know don't know don't know) / who...i want to be (cuckoo!) / you say Y-E-S to everything, will that guarantee you a win? / do you think you will be good enough to love others and to be loved?
SKIPPING STONES / CLAIRE GUERRESO
stop the world from spinning around / feels like the sky is falling down / can't breathe in, i can't breathe out / i'm afraid that i might drown / can't stay afloat on just a skipping stone, an echo on the water / i'm letting go, surrender to the bottom / another rising tide, another storm to fight / come and take me, i'm just a skipping stone
i'm proud of who i am / no more monsters, i can breathe again / and you said that i was done / well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come / 'cause i can make it on my own, oh / and i don't need you, i found a strength i've never known / i'll bring thunder, i'll bring rain, oh / when i'm finished, they won't even know your name
THE ARCHER / TAYLOR SWIFT
and i cut off my nose just to spite my face / then i hate my reflection for years and years / i wake in the night, i pace like a ghost / the room is on fire, invisible smoke / and all of my heroes die all alone / help me hold onto you / i've been the archer, i've been the prey / screaming, who could ever leave me, darling? / but who could stay?
THE THINGS I REGRET / BRANDI CARLILE
there's a hole in my pocket where my dreams fell through / from a sidewalk in the city to the avenue / there's a leak in my dam 'bout the size of a pin / and i can't quite remember where the water's getting in / but when you're wearing on your sleeve all the things you regret / you can only remember what you want to forget / you feel it tugging at your heart like the stars overhead / 'til you rest your bones on the killing bed
oh, it’s such a long and awful lonely fall / down from this pedestal that you keep putting me on / what if i fall on my face? / what if i make a mistake? / if it’s okay a little grace would be appreciated / remember how we used to like ourselves? / what little light that’s left, we need to keep it sacred
