the terror

am i born to bleed?

1. "kiss with a fist" / florence + the machine

a kick in the teeth is good for some
a kiss with a fist is better than none

2. "somebody to love" / jefferson airplane

when the truth is found to be lies
and all the joy within you dies
...
tears are running, they're all running down your breast
and your friends, baby, they treat you like a guest
don't you want somebody to love?

3. "myxomatosis" / radiohead

the mongrel cat came home holding half a head
proceeded to show it off to all his newfound friends
he said i been where i liked, i slept with who i like
she ate me up for breakfast, she screwed me in a vise
...
but now i don't know why i feel so tongue-tied
don't know why i feel so skinned alive

4. "take me out" / franz ferdinand

and if you leave here, you leave me broken, shattered i lie
i'm just a crosshair, i'm just a shot, then we can die

5. "lonely boy" / the black keys

well, your mama kept you, but your daddy left you
and i should've done you just the same
but i came to love you, am i born to bleed?
...
oh, i got a love that keeps me waiting

6. "percussion gun" / white rabbits

you'll never come back
my god, can't you see that i know which way to run?
...
well, everyone's saying rise and shine
it might not be true and that's just fine

7. "what kind of man" / florence + the machine

you're a holy fool, all colored blue, red feet upon the floor
you do such damage, how do you manage to have me crawling back for more?

8. "live on" / delta spirit

finally found out just how much it takes
for one whole year he spent making me turn red
forget the light ahead

9. "water & power" / cold war kids

are you willing, are you brave?
who could make you feel afraid?
mean what you say, make your mistakes
head of silver and gold, your feet crumbling clay
forever be yours, counting the hours
the salt in the mines and the water is ours

10. "heretic pride" / the mountain goats

i want to cry out but i don't scream and i don't shout
and i feel so proud to be alive
and i feel so proud when the reckoning arrives
