Breaking The Habit

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at faults
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been two years
I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

A lot of fight left in me

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

This is my fight song (Hey!)
Take back my life song (Hey!)
Prove I'm alright song (Hey!)
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

No I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Goodbye My Lover
By: James Blunt
This thread is for the AU plot of Bellamy Blake Kane volunteering to be part of the culling.
He has to tell the woman he loves Braeden Quinn that he is going to be among the 320 people.

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.


And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

You Are Loved
By: Josh Groban

I think this song could work for the Bellamy Blake and blake relationship!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
When your heart's heavy
I...I will lift it for you

Don't give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you
I...I will break it for you

Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved

Don't give up
It's just the hurt that you hide
When you're lost inside
I...I will be there to find you

Don't give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you
I...I will shine to guide you

Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved

You are loved
Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
Don't give up
Every one needs to be heard
You are loved

Stand By You

This song is great for the Bellamy Blake and Clarke Griffin relationship!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hands, put your empty hands in mine
And scars, show me all the scars you hide
And hey, if your wings are broken
Please take mine so yours can open too
Cause I'm gonna stand by you
Oh, tears make kaleidoscopes in your eyes
And hurt, I know you're hurting, but so am I
And love, if your wings are broken
Borrow mine 'til yours can open too
Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, cause I'm gonna stand by you

Yeah, you're all I never knew I needed
And the heart, sometimes it's unclear why it's beating
And love, if your wings are broken
We can brave through those emotions too
Cause I'm gonna stand by you
Oh, truth, I guess truth is what you believe in
And faith, I think faith is having a reason
Nah, nah, nah, love, if your wings are broken
Borrow mine 'til yours can open too
Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, cause I'm gonna stand by you

I'll be your eyes 'til yours can shine
I'll be your arms, I'll be your steady satellite
And when you can't rise, well, I'll crawl with you on hands and knees
Cause I...
(I'm gonna stand by you)

Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through (come on)
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, cause I'm gonna stand by you
Love, you're not alone
Oh I'm gonna stand by you
(Even if we can't find heaven, heaven, heaven)
Yeah I'm gonna stand by you

See Beneath You're Beautiful
By: Labrinth ft Emeli Sandé

Click HERE to listen!

This song is great for the Bellamy Blake and Thalia Tait relationship, especially in our AU!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


You tell all the boys "No"
Makes you feel good, yeah.
I know you're out of my league
But that won't scare me away, oh, no

You've carried on so long,
You couldn't stop if you tried it.
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it,
But I'm gonna try

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?

You let all the girls go
Makes you feel good, don't it?
Behind your Broadway show
I heard a boy say, "Please, don't hurt me"

You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried it.
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it,
But I'm gonna try

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, boy, take it off now, boy
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight, oh, tonight?

See beneath, see beneath,
I...
Tonight
I...

I'm gonna climb on top your ivory tower
I'll hold your hand and then we'll jump right out
We'll be falling, falling but that's OK
'Cause I'll be right here
I just wanna know

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl (take it off now, boy, take it off now, boy)
'Cause I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight, oh, oh, oh, tonight?
See beneath your beautiful, oh, tonight.
We ain't perfect, we ain't perfect, no.
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?

Thalia Tait's Soundtrack
Cinnamon by Marika Hackman
Link to Listen

This is Thalia's current theme song. It's very dreamy and revolves around the colliding worlds of nature and technology, of trying to be free, especially in her mind.
 
____________________________________________________

Honey bee
Fill me with that sticky stuff
Golden in the light
Viscous sweet delight I am sugar blind

Lay me down
Lay me down I'm cinnamon
Powder on the brain
Rubber-coated veins and I'm on my way

But I am free
I can watch TV
The radio plays my favorite song
We can listen let our minds go numb

Pheromone
Waggle dance bring nectar home
I can see you clear
Ancient creatures here you were turned to stone

But I'm alive
The funeral's for the hive
So strip me down and paint me black
We can watch and let our eyes go slack

I am free
I can watch TV
Oh the radio plays my favorite song
We can listen let our minds go numb

[Thalia Tait]

Thalia Tait's Soundtrack
Wolf by Marika Hackman
Link to Listen

This is Thalia's current theme song with her interaction with the Grounder, @king . It's a sweet sound of distrust and fascination, with a hint of soft violence.

____________________________________________________

I'm not the one with my head to the gun
and your heart is bursting at the seams
You're taking me down with every crease in your frown
The folding of your skin is making me feel crazy

Oh man, beware I'm not all there
Or so I'm told by the powers that be

Falling at your feet with an arrow through my cheek
Show a fraction of the mind
The rest would have you six foot deep, you creep
Where do I stand now, I'm strapped against the bow
Of a ship that's captained by a fraud, and I am sick at sea

Oh man beware I'm not all there
Or so I'm told by the powers that be

Undone, Undress by Marika Hackman

This song is for any relationship she might have with  John Murphy. It's dark and cold, like the forest in winter, with everything feeling a bit pained and uncertain, but there is still that bittersweet attraction. He may be awful to others, but deep down is just a little boy who craves attention and affection...in Thalia's mind anyway.

____________________________________________________

Here's my body, I am undone
Let them have me, let them come
Blue beaks aching, flesh forsake me
Only bones for the hunter's gun

Load me heavy, I can't bend
Break me better, so I won't mend

The forest murmurs
'Careful creatures
She'll be gone when the master comes'

They heard my heart for miles
The air inside
Was seeping out

In silent shouts
It crumpled in my chest

Let's undress
I don't want you to heal me
Rather, take this broke machine
Hold me close, this beast of burden
Hide and skin in the morning light

I'll be here when you can't breathe
Waiting, patient, silently

Runaway by AURORA

Link to Listen

This song is for Thalia's relationship with Bellamy Blake . It's tender and a bit unsteady at first, but gets stronger and even more beautiful as they continue on trusting one another. He may be different from her, but they are two sides of the same coin, pressing their pains inward and only able to confide in one another to heal. They are each other's home.

____________________________________________________



I was listening to the ocean
I saw a face in the sand
But when I picked it up
Then it vanished away from my hands
I had a dream I was seven
Climbing my way in a tree
I saw a piece of heaven
Waiting, impatient, for me

And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows
And I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain

But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore

I was painting a picture
The picture was a painting of you
And for a moment I thought you were here
But then again, it wasn't true
And all this time I have been lying
Oh, lying in secret to myself
I've been putting sorrow on the farest place on my shelf
La-di-da

And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows
And I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain

But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore

But I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall

And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go

Now take me home, home where I belong, no, no
Now take me home, home where I belong, oh, oh
Now take me home, home where I belong, no, no
Now take me home, home where I belong
I can't take it anymore

Nature Boy by AURORA

This song is something Thalia sang for Nicolette Carmichael when they went out into the forest to collect plants and herbs. It's smooth and a bit haunting and inspired by Nicolette Carmichael 's day-dream born knight brothers.

____________________________________________________



"There was a boy"

"A very strange enchanted boy"

"They said he wondered very far~ Very far~ Over land and sea"

"A little shy~

"And sad of eye~

"But very wise was he..."




"And then one day"

"A lucky day, he passed my way"

"Then we spoke of many things~ fools and kings~ then he said to me"

"'The greatest thing'~ you'll ever learn~is to love"

"And be loved in return..."

Let No Man Steal Your Thyme 

This song is something Thalia's father used to sing to her, a lullaby he learned from Thalia's mother. It's old and sort of like a family heirloom, something the Ark could never take from them to redistribute. It's a precious gem, though Thalia has had a hard time remembering it ever since she was dropped on Earth. She tries to think up lyrics in her first meeting with Bellamy Blake.

____________________________________________________

Come all you fair and tender girls
That flourish in your prime
Beware, beware
Keep your garden fair
Let no man steal your thyme
Let no man steal your thyme.

For when your thyme it is past and gone
He'll care no more for you
And every place where your thyme was waste
Will all spread o'er with rue
Will all spread o'er with rue.

The gardener's son was standing by
Three flowers he gave to me
The pink, the blue, and the violet too
And the red, red rosy tree
And the red, red rosy tree.

But I refused the red rose bush
And gained the willow tree
That all the world may plainly see
How my love slighted me
How my love slighted me.

[Nicolette Carmichael]

Warriors - Paradise Fear

This song is a wonderful song that can be applied to Nic's little story in her mind. The one she's slowly starting to tell Thalia Tait. It somewhat describes Steve, and how he feels, his confusion about his title of Prince, and Heir to the Throne. 

-------------------------------------


I've spent twelve months

Fighting this illusion of me

Stuck in the shadows

Of the person I'm supposed to be


And lines got blurred

Somewhere in between

My fathers son

And their twisted fantasy

There's a soul

There's a pulse

There's a warrior

There's a hole where my heart used to be

Now I'm filling it up with all the things

I always said I'd be

So I let you in

But I'm so scared of what you'll see

Just skin and bones

Hiding this monster inside of me
