w h a t d i d y o u b u r y ;; a mix for the messy love triangle that is laurent, gemma, and coots in gravity fallsverse.
1. violent, carolesdaughter; don't make me get violent / i want my ring back / baby / that's a diamond
2. my body is a cage, arcade fire; you're standing next to me / my mind holds the key / i'm living in an age / that calls darkness light
3. breezeblocks, alt-j; please break my heart / please don't go / i'll eat you whole / i love you so / i love you so
4. baby you're a haunted house, gerard way; and your heart will stay forever / when your last remains are few / in the dark we dance together
5. you're dead, norma tanega; hear the unloved weeping like rain / guard your sleep from the sound of their pain / long gone
6. in the room where you sleep, dead man's bones; a dark heart is beating and waiting for you / there is no open window / but the floors still creep
7. house of the rising sun, lauren o'connell; oh mother, tell my baby sister / not to do what i have done / but shun that house in new orleans
8. tonight you belong to me, patience & prudence; although we're apart / you're a part of my heart / and tonight you belong to me
9. kyoto, phoebe bridgers; you wrote me a letter / but i don't have to read it / i'm gonna kill you / if you don't beat me to it
10. i can't handle change, roar; i can't help but repeat myself / "i know it's not your fault," / still lately i begin to shake
11. achilles come down, gang of youths; achilles, achilles, achilles / come down / won't you get up off / get up off the roof?
12. night terror, laura marling; i roll over and shake him tightly / and whisper / "if they want you, they're gonna have to fight me."
13. like real people do, hozier; why were you digging? / what did you bury / before those hands pulled me / from the earth?
bonus track: hazy shade of winter, gerard way featuring ray toro
i n t h e h o u s e o f t h e s w a n ;; a mix for helen of troysparta and menelaus of mycenae, after the war.
1. what he wrote, laura marling; and where is the lion / that gave you your name? / he had to leave / though i begged him to stay
2. i fought in a war, belle and sebastian; and i bet you're making shells back home / for a steady boy to wear / round his neck / well it won't hurt to think of you
3. love love love, the mountain goats; some things you'll do for money / and some you'll do for fun / but the things you do for love / are going to come back to you one by one
4. small hands, keaton henson; miss your teeth dug in my shoulder / as we rolled in early morning / miss your arm dying beneath me / as i lay there simply yawning
5. deer, manchester orchestra; probably too busy with your work / or am i just excusing you for leaving me alone?
6. someone new, BANKS; please, believe me when i say / everything i do / i'm gonna think of you / don't know what else to do
7. love me like i'm not made of stone, lykke li; when it cheats / when it bribes / there's a war inside my core / i hear it fight / i hear it roar
8. woman, the 1975; it all tastes the same / but boy / there's something different about your mouth
9. stranded, the walkmen; you're all prettier now / than the last time / but the words aren't coming through / and i'm stranded / and i'm starry-eyed
10. wild horses, bishop briggs; so i keep on damning the devil / and you keep on saying "it's alright."
11. maps, yeah yeah yeah; wait / they don't love you like i love you / wait / they don't love you like i love you
12. godspeed, frank ocean; i'll always love you until the time we die
13. work song, hozier; when my time comes around / lay me gently in the cold dark earth / no grave can hold my body down / i'll crawl home to her
