The Mountain Goats; Hebrews 11:40
Build fires to keep the beacon flashing
Where the earth lies flat
Blood calls to blood as the hours draw down
Invent my own family if it comes to that
Hold them close, hold them near
Tell them no one's ever going to hurt them here

Steal the treasure and try to leave town
Fight my way back down
Don't want to hurt anyone
Probably gonna have to before it's all done

Transition period between Akhi's death and the present.

Hybrid; Choke
Sink
Into the storm again
Cold and disconnected
We've opened every door
Burn
The city is too bright
I'll stay here with my secrets
Until it fades to dust

Apostle of Hustle; Energy of Death
In the rhythm of this song
we drink we fuck & we fight we bring it on

Prayer is samba & surdu
her lips are red, they know what to do

Prophet waves his flag, he's so devout
there's a waterfall of sewage from his mouth

The children of the dying earth
our possessions & our money have no worth

Beirut; Transatlantique
No, I couldn't tell you how the house burned down
Last night while we were running around
Midnight surrounds you, the moonlight makes you proud
Last night, oh, we were running around

Sing for last call, sing for last fall, such was it all
Sing for last call, sing for last fall, such was it all

All along I was your home
All along I was your home

Alex/Cat

Beirut; Elephant Gun
If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight

Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around

Mumford & Sons; Dust Bowl Dance
Well you are my accuser, now look in my face
Your oppression reeks of your greed and disgrace
So one man has and another has not
How can you love what it is you have got
When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
Liars and thieves you know not what is in store

There will come a time I will look in your eye
You will pray to the God that you always denied

Alex's general view of the world.

Neko Case; This Tornado Loves You
my love, i am the speed of sound
i left them motherless, fatherless
their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths
but it's never enough

i want you...

carved your name across three counties
ground it in with bloody hides
their broken necks will line the ditch
till you stop it
stop it
stop it
stop it
stop it
stop this madness

i want you...

i have waited with a glacier's patience
smashed every transformer with every trailer
till nothing was standing
sixty-five miles wide
still, you are nowhere
still, you are nowhere
nowhere in sight

Alex/Cat

The New Pornographers; The Bones of an Idol
You hold up the cup
You've been searching for
Since you were young
When you still had the bones of an idol
If you still had the bones of an idol
You'd be long long gone
But something keeps turning you on

We cling to the raft we are missing
By half what we wanted
But we escaped with the bones of an idol
Escaped with the belt and the title
But our land is gone

And something keeps turning us on

Florence and the Machine; Donkey Kosh
You ask me why I keep them,
Why I love them so,
Why they get away with murder,
As they grow and grow and grow, oh

I keep them cos I made them,
They come from in my arms
With each mistake I make
Created and torn apart

And when it's time to feed them,
Before they go to bed,
I give them my confessions,
Baked within their bread

Double layer song, one of an acknowledgment of her mistakes made with other people, second as writing the characters she does to deal with her negative emotions. This was pre-game, though; obviously she no longer wants to keep Alex (although her feelings if she ever sees him in person will be different than what she thinks.)
