01. Two Sisters - Tom Waits

There was an old woman, lived by the seashore
Bow and balance me
There was an old woman, lived by the seashore
A number of daughters: one, two, three, four
And I'll be true to my love
if my love will be true to me

02. Jack Killed Mom - Jenny Lewis

When Jack was born he winked at Mom
Her pretty face was the first he saw
Was Jack wrong because he loved Mom?

Things were bad, before they got worse
Mom would pinch Jack until it hurt
Mama thought her boy was cursed

03. Vengeance is Sleeping - Neko Case

my love has never lived indoors
i had to drag it home by force
hired hounds at both my wrists
damn-bam bruised by strangers' kisses on my lips

but you're the one that i still miss
you're the one that i still miss
and it's ruthless that it comes as no surprise

04. Sleep Alone - Bat For Lashes

They say for every heart high there must be a low, low, low, low, low
And every sun ascending a lonesome moon will grow, grow, grow, grow
Drive my heart, drive my heart, into the fire of a burning heart's desire
The only spells you'll be seeing, do you hear me coming in my blue dream?

05. You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison - My Chemical Romance

well they're never gonna get me
like a bullet through a flock of doves
to wage this war against your faith in me
your life will never be the same
on your mother's eyes say a prayer
say a prayer

06. Autoclave - The Mountain Goats

When I try to open up to you I get completely lost
Houses swallowed by the earth, windows thick with frost
And I reach deep down within, but the pathways twist and turn
And there’s no light anywhere, and nothing left to burn

And I am this great, unstable mass of blood and foam
And no emotion that’s worth having could call my heart its home
My heart’s an autoclave
My heart’s an autoclave

07. Raise Hell - Brandi Carlisle

I found myself an omen and I tattooed on a sign
I set my mind a wandering and I walk a broken line
You have a mind to keep me quiet
And although you can try,
Better men have hit their knees
And bigger men have died

08. Rattlin' Bones - Kasey Chambers

Left my home and left my love
Caught on a rusty nail
Devil rose up, heavy with gold
My soul’s not for sale
Then a holy man in a house of God
He offered me a book of prayer
And when I left my home I left my love
I left my faith back there

09. Playing For Keeps - Elle King

You prayed to have your name, scattered on the lips of the young.
And now you claim, that it's you in the tips of their tongues.
If your proud of what you had to kill to get your thrill, well.
It must sting to give up everything and realize that they don't want you.

It's lonely road, where the forgotten go.
Where your misery finds its company.
It's a long way down, to the, sacred grounds.
Where the reaper's playing for keeps.

10. Babel - Mumford and Sons

Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride,
I stretched my arms into the sky
I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now
Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down

11. No Children - The Mountain Goats

I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

12. Little Drop of Poison - Tom Waits

Did the devil make the world why god was sleeping?
Someone said you'll never get a wish from a bone
Another wrong good-bye and a hundred sailors
That deep blue sky is my home

13. Awake O'Sleeper - The Brothers Bright

Do you hear the lion roar?
Awake o'sleeper
Stand with me we'll fight the war
Awake o'sleeper
Your suffering will come again
And never fall away
For we trade our many comforts
Like the one who bled for grace
There will come a day my God will come
And put me in my place
My God I pray you'll call my name
Instead of turn away

14. Danger and Dread - Brown Bird

I've heard you wake up crying from the evils lying under our bed
You say there's no use trying to protect you from the danger and dread
Though this world is made of fearsome beasts that bark and bite
We born to put these creatures through one hell of a fight
May we feast upon the flesh of any fever that befalls you tonight

15. Hold On When You Get Love - Stars

The world won't listen to this song
And the radio won't play it
But if you like it sing along
Sing 'cause you don't know how to say it

Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love,
So you can let go when you give it
