post-Vortex fic in song.

Because words still fail me; fortunately, the music has not died.

Soundgarden -
I caught the moon today
Pick it up
And throw it away all right
I got the perfect steal
A cleaner love
With a dirty feel all right
Fall out and take the bait
Eat the fruit
And kiss the snake goodnight

Common ruse dirty face
Pretty nose is pretty hate
And I don't like
What you got me hanging from

Let your motor race
Pick it up
And get this mother gone
Out from and far away
The wooden stake
This thing has got me on

Diamond rope silver chain
Pretty nose is pretty pain
And I don'like
What you got me hanging from

I don't care what you got
I don't care what you need
I don't want anything
And I don'like
What you got me hanging from
And I don't like what you've got me hanging from

Smashing Pumpkins -
Who am I to need you when I'm down
Where are you when I need you around
Your life is not your own

And all I ask you
Is for another chance
Another way around you
To live by circumstance, once again

Who am I to need you now
To ask you why to tell you no
To deserve your love and sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me

And you may go, but I know you won't leave
Too many years built into memories
Your life is not your own

Who am I to need you now
To ask you why to tell you no
To deserve your love and sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me

Who am I to you?
Along the way
I lost my faith

And as you were, you'll be again
To mold like clay, to break like dirt
To tear me up in your sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me
You were never meant to belong to me
You were never meant to belong to me

Who am I?
Who am I to you?
Along the way
I lost my faith

Fastball -
Try to stop the world spinning 'round
My phone bill will tell you she lives out of town
It's been a long long time but still I dream
Of warm sunny days on 12th and Lorraine
I wish you were here right now....but then
I know I should just leave you alone
I should just leave you alone
I know I should just leave you alone
I should just leave you along
The ground moved under me
I pushed her away with the things I'd say
God's face grew
Earthquake size
And I can't cross our great divide
I wanna live inside....but then
I know I should just leave you alone
I should just leave you alone
I wanna live inside....but then
I know I should just leave you alone
I should just leave you alone

Duran Duran -
Light a candle lay flowers at the door
for those you left behind and the one's who've gone before
Here it comes now sure as silence follows rain
The taste of you upon my lips the fingers in my brain
And be gentle as it kills me where I lay
Who am I to resist
Who are you to fail

Got to get you out of my mind
but I can't escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind
without you what's left to believe in

It could be so sorry for the way it had to go
But now I feel your presense in a way I could not know
And I wonder do you ever feel the same
In whispering darkness do you ever hear my name

Got to get you out of my mind
but I can't escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind
without you what's left to belive in

Here in the back of your mind
here in the back of your mind
And how could you dare to become
so close so real when you're just a ghost of me

And I've got to get you out of my mind
but I can't escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind
without you what's left to believe in
Here in the back of your mind,
deep in the back of your mind
Here in the back of your mind,
deep in the back of your mind
Deep in the back of your mind
Here it comes now sure as silence follows rain
The taste of you upon my lips the fingers in my brain
And be gentle as it kills me where I lay
Who am I to resist

Jude -
Everything had to be exactly as you had planned it
Everything had to be exactly as you designed
The sadness inside you was lost on exactly no one
And there's nothing heroic or stoic in being a mime

Hey little girl is there room inside your world
For a groom without a pearl or a diamond on his mind
Did you think that for a second on the brink
That you could let me take a drink
and bet that would not climb inside over my primly pride
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

See you walking down the hall kinda tall
it isn't all like Bacall and
I'm gonna pucker up and blow you right out
of the seams of your suits
and the dreams will be roots
for the teams in cahoots
My demons loving you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

There is only so much I can give without return and
Maybe a song
Maybe a few
Maybe not
Maybe, finally fuck it and just take a shot
And I battered, broken barely hoping remade token
I would crawl back to you and say thanks I needed that
It's been a while
I would crawl back to you and say thanks I needed that
It's been a while
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Smoother skinned than most she was and beautiful and just because I thought I'd be a doomsday gift I placed the rift
Callous first and cavalier dropping verses she could hear the sad refrain of inner pain
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

There is only so much I can give without return and
Maybe a song
Maybe a few
Maybe not
Maybe, finally fuck it and just take a shot
And I battered, broken barely hoping remade token
I would crawl back to you and say thanks I needed that
It's been a while
I would crawl back to you and say thanks I needed that
It's been a while
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I'm gonna grope I'm gonna grasp
'Cause I must
It's my rope and my ass and my doom for my lusting of you
Throw me a thin spider line, I'll be fine
as I climb the mine to my divine
I'm gonna grope I'm gonna grasp
'Cause I must
It's my rope and my ass and my doom for my lusting of you
Throw me a thin spider line, I'll be fine
as I climb the mine to my divine

Oh, Lex.
