Stories & Songs #2

Last month I wrote a post in which I shared some songs with you that remind me of some of the books I've read, and you can find that post here. I had a lot of fun with it, so today I'm back with a second installment! Just like last time, you can find all the songs I mention below in this playlist.

The Haunting of Hill House

by Shirley Jackson

"Katrinah Josephina"

Universal Hall Pass

Katrinah Josephina is no longer so they say

She disappeared one year ago and not a trace remains

All the theories are just heresay as to why she disappeared

Some say she was abducted and some say she drowned in fear

And what a joy it is to be the only one who knows

Katrinah Josephina journeys ninety leagues below

She's singing the praises of angels and sages

Oh when the pills wear off, the symptoms will return

You may have found relief, the cause has still yet to be learned

Dark Triumph

by Robin LaFevers

"Iron"

Within Temptation

Raised in this madness

You're on your own

It makes you fearless

Nothing to lose

Dreams are a joke here

They get in your way

That's what you need

To fight day by day

Oh damn, the war is coming

Oh damn, you feel you want it

Oh damn, just bring it on today

You can't live without the fire

It's the heat that makes you strong

'Cause you're born to live and fight it all away

You can't hide what lies inside you

It's the only thing you've known

You'll embrace it and never walk away

Don't walk away

Wuthering Heights

by Emily Brontë

"Better Dig Two"

The Band Perry

So if the ties that bind ever do come loose

Tie 'em in a knot like a handman's noose,

'Cause I'll go to Heaven or I'll go to Hell

Before I see you with someone else

Put me in the ground,

Put me six foot down,

And let the stone say:

"Here lies a girl whose only crutch

Was loving one man just a little too much."

If you go before I do

I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two

Cress

by Marissa Meyer

"Strange and Beautiful"

Aqualung

I've been watching your world from afar

I've been trying to be where you are

And I've been secretly falling apart

Unseen

To me, you're strange and you're beautiful

You'd be so perfect with me

But you just can't see

You turn every head but you don't see me

I'll put a spell on you

You'll fall asleep

When I put a spell on you

And when I wake you I'll be the first thing you see

And you'll realise that you love me

Deadline

by Mira Grant

"Sail"

AWOLNATION

This is how I show my love

I made it in my mind because

I blame it on my A.D.D. baby

This is how an angel dies

I blame it on my own supply

Blame it on my A.D.D. baby

Sail!

Sail!

Sail!

Sail!

Sail!

Maybe I should cry for help

Maybe I should kill myself

Blame it on my A.D.D. baby

Maybe I'm a different breed

Maybe I'm not listening

So blame it on my A.D.D. baby
