I know the truth in your heart. The loneliness. The growing knowledge of your own difference. The ache of it.

"So many men had tried to make her a queen. Now she understood that she was meant for something more. The Darkling had told her he was destined to rule. He had claimed his throne, and part of her too. He was welcome to it. For the living and the dead, she would make herself a reckoning. She would rise."

Make War, Not Love
A slightly...
A slightly Southern Gothic-esque Ruin and Rising mix mostly with songs for Alina as well as The Darkling.
Alina Centric/POV Songs: I Will Never Die, Cold Cold Water, My Blood, Twice, Come Crashing, David, The Chain, The One That Got Away
The Darkling Centric/POC Songs: Shadow’s Keeper, Evening On The Ground, Seven Devils
Other/Multiple Character Centric Songs: Escape, Virgin, The Humbling River, The Royal We, Smother
Escape // Thirty Seconds to Mars
It’s time to pay / You know you’ve got it coming / This is war
I Will Never Die // Delta Rae
I’ve loved you for too long / Old heat of a raging fire / Come and light my eyes / Summer’s kiss to electric wire / But I’ll never die / You can bury my body but I’ll never die
Cold Cold Water // Mirah
Now I suffer for your hungry eye / Oh, why must it see more than mine? / It’s a light you’re after, ‘cause light moves faster / But when I ride again in to the night / My torch will shoot flames strong and bright / And my absence will remind you of / How tough it is to be in love
My Blood // Ellie Goulding
And God knows I’m not dying but I breathe now / And God knows it’s the only way to heal now / With all the blood I lost with you / It drowns the love I thought I knew
Virgin // Manchester Orchestra
I bruise just like anyone would bruise / I’m gone You tried to emphasize and side with both your ghosts / In time I swore I’d take the straight and narrow path but still won’t
The Humbling River // Puscifer
Pay no mind to the battles you’ve won / It’ll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Twice // Little Dragon
Twice I turned my back on you / I fell flat on my face but I didn’t loose
Come Crashing // Digital Daggers
Hear your thunder calling / From a distant sky / Wanna feel I’ve known this / For a thousand lives
Shadow’s Keeper – Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
The shadows creeping, only one way left to go / You hit the bottom where the silence only grows / It’s never alone / But you feel the light shine so bright
David // Noah Gundersen
I try to keep my conscience clean / I try to keep myself out of your bad dreams / I try to wash my hands for you every night / Oh, lest you find my strangling fingers wrapped around tight / I wanna hunt like David / I want to kill me a giant man / I wanna slay my demons / But I got lots of them, I got lots of them
Evening On The Ground // Iron & Wine
Hey man, evening on the ground / And there is no one else around / So you will blame me / Blame me for the rocks / And baby bones and broken lock
Seven Devils // Florence + The Machine
Holy water cannot help you now / Thousand armies couldn’t keep me out / I don’t want your money / I don’t want your crown / See I’ve come to burn your kingdom down / Holy water cannot help you now / See I’ve come to burn your kingdom down / And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out / I’m gonna raise the stakes / I’m gonna smoke you out
The Royal We // Silversun Pickups
We are ready for the siege / We are armed up to the teeth / How many times do you want to die? / How many ways do you want to die? / Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder / Very carefully, look over your shoulder / You used to do a little, but a little won’t fly / Right before you hit your prime / That’s when we fell in love but not the first time /
The Chain // Fleetwood Mac
Listen to the wind blow / Watch the sun rise / Run in the shadows / Damn your love / Damn your lies / And if you don’t love me now / You will never love me again / I can still hear you saying / You would never break the chain
Smother // Daughter
In the darkness I will meet my creators / And they will all agree, that I’m a suffocator / Oh no / I’m sorry if I smothered you / I’m sorry if I smothered you / I sometimes wish I’d stayed inside / My mother / Never to come out
The One That Got Away // The Civil Wars
I got caught up by the chase / And you got high on every little game / I wish you were the one / Wish you were the one that got away / Oh, if I could go back in time / When you only held me in my mind / Just a longing gone without a trace / Oh, I wish I’d never ever seen your face / I wish you were the one / Wish you were the one that got away
"Know that I loved you. Know that it was not enough."
