superiorspectre | {Playlist} That Later Thing Than Death

Tosh will admit they were friends. Suzie... might admit to more, assuming she trusts the person asking.

And then Suzie went mad.

Unsurprisingly, the relationship didn't survive.

All Eyes On Me - Goo Goo Dolls (YouTube)

And it won’t take long to burn
All eyes on me
Through the nothing that you’ve learned
All eyes on me
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me
But your eyes look away
It’s so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away

And you hide in your room
And the lights burn away
And you move from the truth
It’s all so far from you

Anywhere Anyone - Dntel (YouTube)

How can you love me if you don't love yourself? I love you.
How can you love me if you don't love yourself? I love you.
How can I love you if I don't love myself? I love you.

We're not going anywhere. Sun is bright and standing still, it's alright.

Beautiful Girl - Poe (YouTube - Unrelated Fanvid)

Beautiful stranger
Why do you have to walk with your head hung low
Beautiful girl

Your eyes are mockingbirds inside a guilded cage
Your life's a silent movie that I haven't heard for ages
Tell me everything, someone's gotta hear this
beautiful thing

Bound - Suzanne Vega (YouTube)

The way of the world
Has taken its toll
Ravaged my body
And bitten my soul

I am ruined by rain
Weathered by wind
I've been invaded
Without and within

And I ask
I am asking you
Asking you if you
Might still want me?

Breathless - Emm Gryner (YouTube - Unrelated Fanvid w/ dialogue)

I cannot lie
from you I cannot hide
And I'm losing the will to try it
Can't hide it, can't fight it

So go on, go on
come on and leave me breathless

Burn - The Cure (YouTube)

"Oh don't talk of love" the shadows purr
Murmuring me away from you
"Don't talk of worlds that never were
The end is all that's ever true
There's nothing you can ever say
Nothing you can ever do..."

Cautioners - Jimmy Eat World (poor quality YouTube)

I'm making my peace,
making it with distance.
Maybe that's a big mistake,
you know I'm thinking of you.
I miss you.

You'll change your mind come Monday,
and turn your back on me.
You'll take your steps away with hesitance,
You'll take your steps away from me.

The Chain - Ingrid Michaelson (YouTube)

The sky looks pissed
The wind talks back
My bones are shifting in my skin
And you my love are gone

My room seems wrong
The bed won't fit
I cannot seem to operate
And you my love are gone

Change - KT Tunstall (YouTube)

The wind is cold tonight
Or so I am told
I don't really know
And as I kill my life
There's nothing left to show
How does that blow hit you?
And if I change am I denying what was said?
If I remain the same
am I creating greater problems instead?

Cold - Alex Young (YouTube)

I'm so cold
So c-c-cold
Wrap your arms around me
Will you hold me tightly?
It's way too cold
So c-c-cold
Baby it's freezing
Don't say you're leaving
I'm getting cold

Enjoy the Silence - Tori Amos (Depeche Mode cover) (YouTube - Live)

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl?

Gold Dust Woman - Fleetwood Mac (YouTube - Still Photos)

Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise loves to go down
Lousy lovers
Pick their prey but they never cry out loud
Cry out

Well, did she make you cry, make you break down,
Shatter your illusions of love?

If You Feel Better - Emilie Autumn (YouTube)

If you feel safer
Keeping to yourself
Placing trust in no one
I won't cry
If it calms your conscience
Making me the guilty one
Take my reputation
Ain't worth much
And it's alright

Innocente - Delerium (YouTube)

It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger or a ghost
It's the quiet of a storm approaching
That I fear the most
It's the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear, drops to the ground
In silence, when my love is near.

Darling, when did you fall? When was it over?
Darling when? When did you fall? When was it over?
[...]
I suppose it is the price of falling in love
I fear it is the price of falling in love...

King Of Bohemia - Richard Thompson (YouTube)

If tears unshed could heal your heart
If words unsaid could sway
Then watch you melt into the night
with Adieu, and rue the day

Did your dreams die young
Were they too hard won
Did you reach too high and fall
And there is no rest
For the ones God blessed
And he blessed you best of all

Knife Going In - Tegan and Sara (YouTube - Live)

Not forever
But on the night I die I swear
I'll sleep outside your window

I feel the knife going in
I'm feeling like she's not enough to kill me
I thought it up and fast

But I'm feeling it now
And I feel like she's sleeping inches from me
I let it pass

Language - Suzanne Vega (Box.net - download)

These words are too solid
They don't move fast enough
To catch the blur in the brain
That flies by and is gone
Gone
Gone
Gone

I'd like to meet you
In a timeless, placeless place
Somewhere out of context
And beyond all consequences

Let Go - Ingrid Michaelson (YouTube - Unrelated Fanvid)

Hey when was the last time you laughed
And did you mean it when you did?
I'm just wondering
There's sorrow in your voice it's abounding
Its astounding how you lay so close to your cure

Lost Girls - Tilly and the Wall (YouTube)

Your life is told through 19 thousand pages
In a world too unreal to behold
Your innocence has faded
Faded all your blues to gray
Your skin has bruised through moving days
Glue is peeling back away
Curling, cracking, painted
[...]
No one will ever save you
If no one can ever find you

Lullaby - The Spill Canvas (YouTube)

It's those pills that you don't need to take,
medicating perfection, now that's a mistake.
I know that you're spent, just let me sing you to sleep.
It's your finger and how I'm wrapped around it.
It's your grace and how it keeps me grounded.
I know that you're weak, just let me sing you to sleep.

If you need anything, just the say the word.
I mean anything.
Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in,
and plant my lips where your necklaces close.

Madman - Charlotte Martin (YouTube)

Over and over it's chilling, the things I've let you miss
And if you're a miracle, I am the madman

And I'm sorry I didn't build your walls and
I'm sorry I had to go and fall and
I'm sorry I had the whole thing wrong and
Well I guess I'm the sorriest of all
And I'm sorry that you are feeling small and
I'm sorry that I'm not used to crawling
I'm sorry the writing's on the wall and
Well I guess I'm the sorriest
I guess I'm the sorriest of all

My Number - Tegan and Sara (YouTube - Live)

So watch your head and then watch the ground
It's a silly time to learn to swim
When you start to drown
It's a silly time to learn to swim
On the way down

If I gave you my number
Would it still be the same
If I saved you from drowning
Promise me you'll never go away
Promise me you'll always stay

My Skin - Natalie Merchant (YouTube)

Well is it dark enough
Can you see me?
Do you want me?
Can you reach me?
Or I'm leaving
Then you shut your mouth
And hold your breath
You kiss me now
You catch your death
Oh, I mean this
Oh, I mean this

No Cities Left - The Dears (YouTube)

Don't you think that now
Is the time to move on
If you don't mind
Well I'll just keep holding on, for good

Let's just keep fighting
The end of the world
We will hold hands
And we will make plans for life

One Day - Kelly Clarkson (YouTube)

You don't know how you shine
I guess no one told you
So let me be the first to show how I love your eyes when you smile
Can't resist you even when I try
One day you'll see
One day you'll believe me

Overlap - Ani Difranco (YouTube)

I search your profile
for a translation
I study the conversation
like a map
'cause I know there is strength
in the differences between us
and I know there is comfort
where we overlap

Padre Fear - Poe (YouTube - Unrelated Fanvid)

Are you afraid of love,
Are you afraid of me,
Are you afraid of love,
Is that why you retreat,
Are you afraid of me?

Porcelain - Moby (YouTube)

In my dreams I'm dying all the time
Then I wake its kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye
This is goodbye

Precious - Depeche Mode (YouTube)

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God, what have we done to you?

We always try to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through

Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage, but words left unspoken
Left us so brittle, there was so little left to give

The Reason - Hoobastank (YouTube)

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why I need you to hear

I've found out a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush (YouTube - Live)

You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me who won't be unhappy.

Come on baby, come on darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh come on angel, come on come on darlin'
Let's exchange the experience, oh...

Sacrifice - t.A.T.u. (YouTube)

Can you tell me, softly
How you'll always haunt me
Can you help me
Hold me
Come to me now, slowly

You caress me, smoothly
Calm my fears and soothe me
Move your hands across me
Take my worries from me

I will sacrifice
I will sacrifice
All I have in life
To clear my conscience

Save You - Emilie Autumn (YouTube)

How do I save you
How do I set you free
Behind the curtain waits a darker world
If I can't make you leave
How can I save you from me

The Scientist - Aimee Mann (Coldplay Cover) (YouTube)

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Secret Smile - Semisonic (YouTube)

Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me

So use it and prove it
Remove this whirling sadness
I'm losing, I'm bluesing
But you can save me from madness

She Blinded Me With Science - Thomas Dolby (YouTube)

It's poetry in motion
She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm - but she blinded me with science
"She blinded me with science!"
And failed me in biology

Show Me Love - t.A.T.u. (YouTube)

Random acts of mindlessness
Commonplace occurrences
Chances and surprises
Another state of consciousness

Tell me nothing ever counts
Lashing out or breaking down
Still somebody loses 'cause
There's no way to turn around

So Damn Beautiful - Polaroid (YouTube)

What do you see in me?
Are you quite proud of this make-believe
Feeling that hangs around everything
You once admired in that girl
You're so damn beautiful

Still - Kira Fontana (Lyrics)

Over and over I pray you'll find your way to me
'Cause there are times I still feel
Your head right here next to me

Come back through star fire
And ceaseless violence
All you've ever dreamed about is waiting at your door
It's getting so much closer to where you are

I'm always waiting at your door...

Stockings - Suzanne Vega (Box.net - download)

The fiction in her family
was that she was never nice
I'd say she was very
I just did not see the price
[...]
Do you know where friendship ends
and passion does begin?
(When she does not show you
the way out on the way in) --
It's between the binding
of her stockings and her skin.
(oh yeah)

Suffer In Silence - Apoptygma Berzerk (YouTube)

I know I've messed things up
By turning gold to stone
Because of my free will, I lied about it all the way
I need to forget, and make this tragic feeling go away

Sullivan Street - Counting Crows (YouTube)

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street
Where all the bodies hang on the air
If she remembers, she hides it whenever we meet
Either way now, I don't really care
'Cause I'm gone from there

I'm almost drowning in her seas
She's nearly crawling on her knees
She's down on her knees

There'll Never Be Good-Bye - Toshiyuki Honda (YouTube)

Stay close to my soul
Like you're close to my hands
Darling if I fade away
You are in my heart
Until my heart's not mine
But I must go
Before you see me fall

Throw Me a Rope - KT Tunstall (YouTube)

So throw me a rope to hold me in place
Show me a clock for counting my days down
Cause everything's easier when you're beside me
Come back and find me
Whenever I'm falling you're always behind me
Come back and find me
Cause everything's easier when you're beside me
Come back and find me
Cause I feel alone

The Trick Is To Keep Breathing - Garbage (YouTube)

She's not the kind of girl
Who likes to tell the world
About the way she feels about herself
She takes a little time in making up her mind
She doesn't want to fight against the tide

And lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone

Unchained Melody - Sarah McLachlan [Righteous Brothers cover] (YouTube)

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me

Undertow - Suzanne Vega (Box.net - download)

I wanted to learn all the secrets
From the edge of a knife
From the point of a needle
From a diamond
From a bullet in flight
I would be free then

I am friend to the undertow
I take you in, I don't let go
And now I have you

I wanted to see how it would feel
To be that sleek
And instead I find this hunger's
Made me weak

Walk This World - Heather Nova (YouTube)

And I'm sucked in by the wonder and I'm fucked up by the lies
And I dig a hole to lie in and I build some wings to fly
And I think that I could love you 'cause you know how to be free
I want you to come walk this world with me

With the light in our eyes it's hard to see
Holding on and on 'til we believe
With the light in our eyes it's hard to see
I'm not touched but I'm aching to be
I want you to come, I want you to come
I want you to come walk this world with me

And it's burning in our fingers and it's burning on the road
And I like the way you're broken and I'll like you when you're old

Your Rain - Akira Yamaoka with Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (YouTube)

I never wanted to ever bring you down
All that I need are some simple loving words

You touched my body once, it burns me still softly
Never forgets, never again will be, I cry

Out of my head and I don't know what I found
Over and over I feel it break me down

Cautioners (poor quality YouTube) - Jimmy Eat World

The End Of The World - Skeeter Davis

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love...

Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said Good-bye.

Euphoria (Firefly) - Delerium

And how I have loved
And I have served
And I have sinned
But I have learned

As long as you are true to the life that you live
This is the time to feel love

I feel a stirring deep within
Slowly picking up momentum
