Fanmix: Atrophy

[verbal_kint]

This is mah second stupid fanmix. I did this on House/Stacy because I find the relationship fascinating but lack the talent to write the fic (and because I'm secretly obsessed with break-ups in general). The first one is Wilson/Amber and can be found HERE.

              



Middle Distance Runner—Sea Wolf

Well my heart is beating hard
And I'm off with a shot at the start
And my legs tremble from strain
But by the finish line I'll drain

So won't you run to me tonight?
Tonight let's not talk about next summer
Cause I'll only ever be a middle distance runner

Well I'm so proud tonight
Of the woman you've become
And I'm just too tired to fight
So my darling, I'll succumb

But you'll have to run to me tonight
Tonight I will love you forever
But I'll only ever be a middle distance runner

The View—Modest Mouse

As life gets longer, awful feels softer
Well, it feels pretty soft to me
And if it takes shit to make bliss
Then I feel pretty blissfully

Your gun went off
Well, you shot off your mouth and look where it got you!
My mouth runs on too

Shouts from both sides
"Well, we've got the land, but they've got the view!"
Well now, here's the clue

We are fixed right where we stand
Life, it rents us
And yeah, I hope it put plenty on you
Well, I hope mine did too
We are fixed right where we are

Two—The Antlers

It tore apart the canyon running down your femur,
(I thought that it was beautiful, it made me a believer.)
And as it opened I could hear you howling from your room,
but I hid out in the hall until the hurricane blew.
When I reappeared and tried to give you something for the pain,
you came to hating me again and just sang your refrain:

You had a new dream, it was more like a nightmare.
You were just a little kid, and they cut your hair,
then they stuck you in machines, you came so close to dying.
They should have listened, they thought that you were lying.

Please Don’t Leave Me—P!nk

Do you know if I can yell any louder
How many time have I kicked you outta here?
Or said something insulting?

I can be so mean when I wanna be
I am capable of really anything
I can cut you into pieces
But my heart is broken

Tell Me in the Morning—Cold War Kids

I know that you would like, like to change me
Make me softer to your voice like a baby
I'm using caution, bet you're warning
I wish you could wait to tell me in the morning

Slow it down
Slow it down
Lay it low
Save it for the morning

I'm shouting questions, like a fist fight
You tried to take me by the arm into the light
I'm almost over, warring over
I said "could you just wait
to tell me in the morning?"

The Recluse—Cursive

The room is littered
With the books and notebooks
I imagine what they say
Like, "Shoo fly, don't bother me"

And I can hardly get myself out of this bed
For fear of never lying in this bed again
Oh Christ, I'm not that desperate
Oh no, oh God, I am

How'd I end up here to begin with?
I don't know
Why do I start what I can't finish?
Oh, please don't barrage me with the questions
To all those ugly answers
My ego's like my stomach
It keeps shitting what I feed it

Dawn of the Dead—Does it Offend You, Yeah?

I didn’t come here to try to hurt you, you hurt me
I’ll never sit back and say “that’ll do,” I’m afraid.

Today I stood and walked away
I’m never coming back this way
I’ve got my things, I’m here to stay
I’ll try to pull the night away

Rome—Phoenix

I stand outside under broken leaves
I know I can't do without
The future's trying to wait
I've never loved you
And if I loved you
I wouldn't say that I'm sorry oh no
I stand outside under broken leaves

Always and forevermore
We're together dead and lonely
I thought I couldn't do this without you
Single in his bed somewhere
Ashes till it falls, falls, falls

Lately—The Helio Sequence
Lately
I don't get lost in daydreams
I never lay awake at night staring in my bed
And I don't think about your face or anything you've said
And I don't think twice when someone says your name
Or twist my mind in circles wondering which of us to blame

I'm living alone, living alone
I don't need you, anymore

Your Ex-Lover is Dead—Stars

God, that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said, "Yes, I think we've met before"
In that instant it started to pour

Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
You tried to reach deep but you never got in
And now you're outside me, you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

Nothing but time and a face that you'll lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news
From the house down the road from real love

Live through this and you won't look back


THANK YOU FOR PUTTING UP WITH MY BOREDOM!

Thanks I downloaded. I love House/Stacy too. I also downloaded some songs from your first one since I hadn't seen it when you posted it previously. Thanks for posting.
