It took me over two and a half years, but the SM playlist is complete. Hooray! You have no idea the kind of relief this provides my heart. I start these epic tasks and they take years to finish (and most of the time, I don't get around to it) so it feels great when I can cross one of my ever-growing list.
In hindsight, I may have done this a little differently. I perhaps should have posted the songs in reverse order so that as you are scrolling through the blog, they appear in order to you instead of backwards. Oh well. I'm not going to bother to fix that minor detail now. They are all numbered anyway.
That said, I want to add to this blog now. I plan to add all the Twilight Saga soundtracks as well. That will be another huge undertaking and will probably take me another 2 years. So don't hold your breath. For now, just enjoy this much. (I do!)
Since they are waaaaay at the beginning, here are these links for you:

Set the Sails
artist: Dan Mangan
album: Nice, Nice, Very Nice
track number: 12/12
year: 2009
The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner - pages 162-163
I was of two minds about survival anyway. I didn't want to die, I didn't want pain, but what was the point? Everyone else was dead. Deigo had been dead for days.
His name was right on my lips. I almost whispered it aloud. Instead, I gripped my skull with both hands and tried to think about something that wouldn't hurt.
_________________________
You decide to be alone
And, hell, it's cold enough to hibernate
So let it drift into the snow
It's where she chooses how to operate
Might be time to pack her in
Set the sails and just get hauled away
Maybe east or something
West was overrated anyway
The storm's coming down
These old walls are wearing thin
There's an ache to this town
And something's gotta give
If we're digging for gold
And coming up dry
Just a matter of time
Just a matter of time
Blindness
artist: Metric
album: Fantasies

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner - page 143
But it didn't feel like I had a choice. I headed sount in a flat-out sprint again. I had to go get Diego. Drag him away if it came to that. We could catch up with Fred. Or take off on our own. We needed to run. I would tell Diego how Riley had lied. He would see that Riley had no intention of helping us fight the battle he'd set up. There was no reason to help him anymore.
And then I heard the snarling and screaming and screeching explode from ahead and I knew thefight was happening and I was too late to beat Diego there. I only ran faster. May I could still save him.

Send us a blindfold
Send us a blade
Tell the survivors help is on the way
I was a blindfold
Never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle
Leave it up to me
Find us a trap door
Find us a plane
Tell the survivors help is on the way
I was a blindfold
Never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle
Leave it up to me
What it is and where it stops, nobody knows
You gave me a life I never chose
I wanna leave but the world won't let me go
I wanna leave but the world won't let me go
What it is and where it stops nobody knows
You gave me a battle I never chose
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle
Leave it up to me
Count Me Out
artist: Meese
album: Broadcast

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner - pages 136-137 - Fred's perspective
"You're not going?"
Fred shook his head. "Of course not. It's obvious we're not being told what we need to know. I'm not going to be Riley's pawn... I'm out. I'm going to explore on my won, see the world."
_________________________
Count me out on the next one
You can tell your friends I don't need them
I be sound if I'm ready
Don't brush just take what you're getting
'Cause this feels like the wrong move
When it breaks down, where do you run to?
Looking for a place to go
But you're all out of reasons
Wonder if you'll ever know
But you just got to feel it
You can count me out
I'm not going anywhere tonight
And I got a feeling that it's going down
So just count me out
Just count me out tonight
I'll be here if you need me
When it's going down in the city
You got that information
In the woken visit temptation?
Looking for a place to go
But you can't slid in rouge skin?
Wonder if you'll ever know
Guess we will wait till it sits in
You can count me out
I'm not going anywhere tonight
And I got a feeling that it's going down
So just count me out tonight
You can count me out
I'm not going anywhere tonight
And I got a feeling that it's going down
So just count me out
Just count me out tonight
I won't go even if you're there
This time I'm the better one
I'm the better one
Looking for a place to go
But you're all out of reasons
Wonder if you'll ever know
But you just got to feel it
You can count me out
I'm not going anywhere tonight
And I got a feeling that it's going down
So just count me out tonight
You can count me out

Kristie and Raoul growled, both of their companies followed suit immediately. I was surprised to see it, but they did look like an army in that moment. Not that theu were marching in formation or anything, but there was just something uniform about the repsonse. Like they all were part of one big organism.
pages 133-134
It took them a minute, but everyone started to realize that this was is, and they got quieter and more fierce. I could see that the idea of a real fight p of being not only allowed but encouraged to rip and burn - was almost as exciting as hunting. It appealed to people like Raoul and Jen and Sara.

We are ready for the siege
We are armed up to the teeth
Be careful how you live and breathe
Release whats broken underneath
How many times do you wanna die?
How many ways do you wanna die?
To feel safe again
Look over your shoulder
Very carefully
Look over your shoulder
We can laugh about it now
We hope everything works out
Be careful how you lick your wounds
Believe that change is coming soon
How many times do you wanna die?
How many ways do you wanna die?
To 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
Can it please you still
Renaming your father's will?
Or does it make you ill?
Let us bruise their knees
We will aim straight for the feed
You will be relieved
So relieved
So relieved
To the floor
It was I
Feel the sparks of the friendly fire
Misery inspires
Your throat has been cut several times before
Before
Never noticed the size of the flow
It can't be ignored
To feel safe again
Look over your shoulder
Carefully look over your shoulder
You said you believe but believing won't fly
Right before you hit your prime
That's when we fell in love but not the first time
And when its all over and you open your eyes
And it still wont turn on inside
And you'll be lying by a note on the floor side
The royal we
The royal we
The royal we
The royal we
The royal we
The royal we
The royal we
The royal we
Love the royal we

His face was not twisted in rage, the way it usually was when he was angry; it was calm and cold, smooth and beautiful, his mouth curled at the edges into a small smile. I suddenly had the impression that this was a new Riley. Something had changed him, hardened him, but I couldn't imagine what could have happened in one night to create that cruel, perfect smile.

Young, dumb

Bloodshot

Simple as this
I'm in love with the risk
I know what I've done
But tell me, what did I miss?
So, please don't save something
Waste not
Save nothing
Lose the halo
No need to resist
A lick of the lips and my grip on your hips
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
First thing we succumb to
Shall erase and undo days of unrelease
If there's no police
Then race to slip into whatever fits you
Make something
Make someone
Beg on a knee
Baby, baby please
Pout your bottom lip

You know what we want is
Candy to come too
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick

What If We Could

And I suddenly realized something stupendously obvious. It was the solution that had tickled the edges of my understanding before, when I was tracking the vampire herd to this place with Diego...
We didn't have to come back the other night! We shouldn't have! Why hadn't I thought of it then...?
We could disappear, and Riley would have to make do with nineteen vampires, or make some new ones quick. Either way, not our problem.
I couldn't wait to tell Diego my plan. My guy instinct was that he would feel the same. Hopefully.

Riley had better control of them than I had thought possible.
Still, it was mostly repetitiion. I had noticed Riley saying the same things over and over and over again. Work together, watch your back, don't go at her head-on; work together, watch your back, don't go at him head-on; work together, watch your back, don't go at her head-on. It was kind of ridiculous, really, and made the group seem exceptionally stupid. But I was sureI would have been just as stupid if I'd been in the thick of the fight with them rather than watching calmly from the sidelines with Fred.
I t reminded me in a way of how Riley had drilled into us our fear of the sun. Constant repetition.

Great words won't cover ugly actions
Good frames won't save bad paintings
We lack the motion to move to the new beat
Yeah, we lack motion
When the day is over
Hey, the doors are locked on us
Money buys the access

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner - pages 49-50 - Deigo's perspective
Deigo grinned at me, his face beautiful with light, and suddenly, with a deep lurch in my stomach, I realized that the whole BFF thing was way off the mark. For me anyway. It was just that fast.
His grin siftened a little bit into just the hint of a smile. His eyes were wide like mine. All awe and lights. He touched my facem the way he'd touched my hand, as if he was trying to understand the shine.
"So pretty," he said. He left his hand against my cheek.

On a desert day in Meremac Spring
Our lives were changing
I was floating down that riverway
And there's no other place I'd rather be
'Cause she's new to me
And I, I can't get her out of my mind
I keep falling in and out with you
My skins burned
And she started laughing
What am I gonna do?
And I can't, can't get her out of my mind

"I see the little girl made it too," said a new voice, and I shuddered because it was Raoul. I felt a little bit of relied that he didn't know my name, but mostly I just felt horrified that he'd noticed me at all.
"Yeah, she followed me." I couldn't see Diego, but I knew he was shrugging.
"Aren't you the saviour of the hour?" Raoul said snidely.
"We don't get ectra points for being morons..."
"Interesting attitude you got, Deigo. You think that Riley likes you so much he's gonna care if I kill you. I think you're wrong. But either way, for tonight, he already thinks you're dead."
_________________________
I drank some dirty water
Shook evil hands
I've done some bad things
And they get easier to do
Then I wrote a nasty letter
And I sent it to the Lord
I said don't you dare come
And bother me no more
I had a good friend
I could only destroy
And lovers I loved less
Than anybody could afford
Yes, but this old rocking horse
Just nods his head
And he's gonna rock back and forth
The way that he always did
Baby, don't you bother
Tasting the water
And baby, don't you bother
Coming closer to me
Can you see my eyes?
They're half the size
And I'm not able to look at you

We sat in silence, pondering this. I mostly thought about how much I didn't know. And why hadn't I worried about everything I didn't know before now? It was like talking to Diego had cleared my head. For the first time in three months, blood was not the main thing in there.

Oh
We were born in the desert
We were reared in a cave
We conquered in the sun
But we lived in the shade
Yeah, baby, we were savage
We existed to kill
Our history is damaged
At least it was a thrill
But now we can see
Now that our vision is strong
We don't have to admit we were wrong
Now we can see
But the images don't stick
Our enemies lay dead on the ground
And still we kick
Oh
Now we can see the warnings and the signs
Reading between the lines like writing on the wall
Now we can see
What do we need?
We should need nothing, nothing at all
We were born on an island
We grew out of the sand
Never saw another creature
Never knew another man
Yeah, baby, we were nothing
We existed for less
Our present was empty
Our history a mess
But now we can see
Now we do as we please
Now we do away with our disease
Now we can see
Now the image sticks
We still need the medicine quick
We still take the pill
But only for the fix
Now we can see
The warnings and the signs
Reading between the lines like writing on the wall
Now we can see
What do we need?
We should need nothing, nothing at all

Yeah, now we can see

I followed him up the alley wall, and then we swung across the girders under the freeway. The lights from the cars below didn't touch us. I thought how stupid people were, how oblivious, and I was glad I wasn't one of the clueless.

Both eyes are shut tight
Tight, tight, tight
Get to sleep now

I turned off my brain. It was time to hunt. I took a deep breath, drawing in the scnet of blood inside the humans below. They weren't the only humans around, but they were the closest. Who you were going to hunt was the kind of decision you had to make before you scented your prey. It was too late now to choose anything.

“Bella!” Edward whispered in shock.
I knew it was working then, so I concentrated even harder, dredging up the specific memories I’d saved for this moment, letting them flood my mind, and hopefully his as well.
Some of the memories were not clear—dim human memories, seen through weak eyes and heard through weak ears: the first time I’d seen his face… the way it felt when he’d held me in the meadow… the sound of his voice through the darkness of my faltering consciousness when he’d saved me from James… his face as he waited under a canopy of flowers to marry me… every precious moment from the island… his cold hands touching our baby through my skin… And the sharp memories, perfectly recalled: his face when I’d opened my eyes to my new life, to the endless dawn of immortality… that first kiss… that first night…
“I heard you,” he breathed. “How? How did you do that?”
“Zafrina’s idea. We practiced with it a few times.”
He was dazed. He blinked twice and shook his head.
“Now you know,” I said lightly, and shrugged. “No one’s ever loved anyone as much as I love you.”

It's silly wrong, but vivid right

Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin

I could taste it as soon as it touched my shield—it had a dense, sweet, cloying flavor. It made me remember dimly the numbness of Novocain on my tongue.
The mist curled upward, seeking a breach, a weakness. It found none. The fingers of searching haze twisted upward and around, trying to find a way in, and in the process illustrating the astonishing size of the protective screen.
There were gasps on both sides of Benjamin’s gorge.
“Well done, Bella!” Benjamin cheered in a low voice.
My smile returned.
I could see Alec’s narrowed eyes, doubt on his face for the first time as his mist swirled harmlessly around the edges of my shield.
And then I knew that I could do this. Obviously, I would be the number-one priority, the first one to die, but as long as I held, we were on more than equal footing with the Volturi. We still had Benjamin and Zafrina; they had no supernatural help at all. As long as I held.

“Forever,” I promised her.
We had forever. And Nessie was going to be fine and healthy and strong. Like the half-human Nahuel, in a hundred and fifty years she would still be young. And we would all be together.
Happiness expanded like an explosion inside me—so extreme, so violent that I wasn’t sure I’d survive it.

And I feel safe, so safe
And I feel safe, so safe
And I feel safe, so safe
So safe
The world's a small child in the dark
And my mind's the same place that it's always been
The monsters seem to fade so fast

And I feel safe, so safe
And I feel safe, so safe
And I feel safe, I feel so brave
I'm not afraid of anything they've got to say
If you're okay, because your tucked away

“We have the answer to all these questions. We heard it in Aro’s lying words—we have one with a gift of knowing such things for certain—and we see it now in Caius’s eager smile. Their guard is just a mindless weapon, a tool in their masters’ quest for domination.
“So now there are more questions, questions that you must answer. Who rules you, nomads? Do you answer to someone’s will besides your own? Are you free to choose your path, or will the Volturi decide how you will live?
“I came to witness. I stay to fight. The Volturi care nothing for the death of the child. They seek the death of our free will.”
He turned, then, to face the ancients. “So come, I say! Let’s hear no more lying rationalizations. Be honest in your intents as we will be honest in ours. We will defend our freedom. You will or will not attack it. Choose now, and let these witnesses see the true issue debated here.”

They came with pageantry, with a kind of beauty.
They came in a rigid, formal formation. They moved together, but it was not a march; they flowed in perfect synchronicity from the trees—a dark, unbroken shape that seemed to hover a few inches above the white snow, so smooth was the advance.
The outer perimeter was gray; the color darkened with each line of bodies until the heart of the formation was deepest black.
Every face was cowled, shadowed. The faint brushing sound of their feet was so regular it was like music, a complicated beat that never faltered.
At some sign I did not see—or perhaps there was no sign, only millennia of practice—the configuration folded outward. The motion was too stiff, too square to resemble the opening of a flower, though the color suggested that; it was the opening of a fan, graceful but very angular. The gray-cloaked figures spread to the flanks while the darker forms surged precisely forward in the center, each movement closely controlled.
Their progress was slow but deliberate, with no hurry, no tension, no anxiety. It was the pace of the invincible.

Edward cocked one eyebrow as I approached, but otherwise did not remark on my accessory or Renesmee’s. He just put his arms tight around us both for one long moment and then, with a deep sigh, let us go. I couldn’t see a goodbye anywhere in his eyes. Maybe he had more hope for something after this life than he’d let on.
_________________________
Love of mine
Some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son, fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

Another minute ticked by, and I found myself straining to hear some sound of approach.
And then Edward stiffened and hissed low between his clenched teeth. His eyes focused on the forest due north of where we stood.
We stared where he did, and waited as the last seconds passed.

“I’m not going down without a fight,” Emmett snarled low under his breath. “Alice told us what to do. Let’s get it done.”
The others nodded with determined expressions, and I realized that they were banking on whatever chance Alice had given us. That they were not going to give in to hopelessness and wait to die.
Yes, we all would fight. What else was there? And apparently we would involve others, because Alice had said so before she’d left us. How could we not follow Alice’s last warning? The wolves, too, would fight with us for Renesmee.
We would fight, they would fight, and we all would die.

To this world I'm unimportant
Just because I have nothing to give
So you call this your free country
Tell me why it cost so much to live
Tell me why
This world can turn me down
But I won’t turn away, oh no
I won’t turn around
All my work and endless measures
Never seem to get me very far
Walk a mile just to move an inch
Now even though I'm trying so damn hard
I'm trying so hard
This world can turn me down
But I won’t turn away
And I won’t duck and run
'Cause I'm not built that way
When everything is gone
There is nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No, 'cause I'm already here
Oh no
I am already here down on my knees
I am already here
Oh no
I am already here
I must have told you a thousand times
I am not running away
I won’t duck and run

And then my smile faded. Alice had sent me here for a reason, and I was sure it was to protect Renesmee. Her last gift to me. The one thing she would know I needed...
It was as I had suspected. We couldn’t win. But we must have a good shot at killing Demetri before we lost, giving Renesmee the chance to run.
My still heart felt like a boulder in my chest—a crushing weight. All my hope faded like fog in the sunshine. My eyes pricked.

See what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities
I was so hard to please
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hear the Salvation Army band
Down by the riverside
Bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry your cup in your hand
And look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend that you can build them again
Look around
The grass is high
The fields are ripe
It's the springtime of my life
Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time?
Funny how my memory skips
Looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime
I look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

“The Volturi,” Alice moaned.
“All of them,” Edward groaned at the same time.
“Why?” Alice whispered to herself. “How?”
“When?” Edward whispered.
“Why?” Esme echoed.
“When?” Jasper repeated in a voice like splintering ice.
Alice’s eyes didn’t blink, but it was as if a veil covered them; they became perfectly blank. Only her mouth held on to her expression of horror.
“Not long,” she and Edward said together. Then she spoke alone. “There’s snow on the forest, snow on the town. Little more than a month.”

Everything was so clear.
Sharp. Defined.
The brilliant light overhead was still blinding-bright, and yet I could plainly see the glowing strands of the filaments inside the bulb. I could see each color of the rainbow in the white light, and, at the very edge of the spectrum, an eighth color I had no name for.

Bored by the chore of saving face
Today is the greatest day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out before I get out
Pink ribbon scars that never forget
I tried so hard to cleanse these regrets
My angel wings were bruised and restrained
My belly stings

My first reaction was an unthinking pleasure. The alien creature in the glass was indisputably beautiful, every bit as beautiful as Alice or Esme. She was fluid even in stillness, and her flawless face was pale as the moon against the frame of her dark, heavy hair. Her limbs were smooth and strong, skin glistening subtly, luminous as a pearl.

Everything inside me came undone as I stared at the tiny porcelain face of the half-vampire, half-human baby. All the lines that held me to my life were sliced apart in swift cuts, like clipping the strings to a bunch of balloons. Everything that made me who I was—my love for the dead girl upstairs, my love for my father, my loyalty to my new pack, the love for my other brothers, my hatred for my enemies, my home, my name, my self—disconnected from me in that second—snip, snip, snip—and floated up into space.
I was not left drifting. A new string held me where I was.
Not one string, but a million. Not strings, but steel cables. A million steel cables all tying me to one thing—to the very center of the universe.
I could see that now—how the universe swirled around this one point. I’d never seen the symmetry of the universe before, but now it was plain.
The gravity of the earth no longer tied me to the place where I stood.
It was the baby girl in the blond vampire’s arms that held me here now.
Renesmee.

And I was all alone with my hatred and the pain that was so bad it was like being tortured. Like being dragged slowly across a bed of razor blades. Pain so bad you’d take death with a smile just to get away from it.
The heat unlocked my frozen muscles, and I was on my feet.
All three of their heads snapped up, and I watched my pain ripple across Edward’s face as he trespassed in my head again.
“Ahh,” he choked.
I didn’t know what I was doing; I stood there, trembling, ready to bolt for the very first escape that I could think of.
Moving like the strike of a snake, Edward darted to a small end table and ripped something from the drawer there. He tossed it at me, and I caught the object reflexively.
“Go, Jacob. Get away from here.” He didn’t say it harshly—he threw the words at me like they were a life preserver. He was helping me find the escape I was dying for.
The object in my hand was a set of car keys.
_________________________
Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet
No time to argue with belief
I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me
What put me here?
Nothing to hold on to
Nowhere to brake
Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction (although fall down is much cooler)
The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs
I threw the window open in challenge and despair
I don't know what I needed
I needed time
I needed to escape
I saw the future turn
Upside-down and hesitate
Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction
Accelerate
The vista I see now is changing
Uncertainty is suffocating
Our hope has never felt so great and
Lit up down
A pounding pulse
To make it go
Make it slow down
Go
Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
I've got to follow another direction.
The city's burning, it's like it's ready to explode
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go

She hesitated for a second, but then, tentatively, she seemed to reach out with her mind and try to see my way. It felt very strange—our minds were more closely linked than they had ever been before, because we both were trying to think together.
Strange, but it helped her. Her teeth cut through the fur and skin of her kill’s shoulder, tearing away a thick slab of streaming flesh. Rather than wince away as her human thoughts wanted to, she let her wolf-self react instinctively. It was kind of a numbing thing, a thoughtless thing. It let her eat in peace.
It was easy for me to do the same. And I was glad I hadn’t forgotten this. This would be my life again soon.
Was Leah going to be a part of that life? A week ago, I would’ve found that idea beyond horrifying. I wouldn’t’ve been able to stand it. But I knew her better now. And, relieved from the constant pain, she wasn’t the same wolf. Not the same girl.

Say, say, my playmate
Won't you lay hands on me
Mirror my malady
Transfer my tragedy
Got a curse I cannot lift
Shines when the sunset shifts
When the moon is round and full
Gotta bust that box gotta gut that fish
My mind's aflame
We could jet in a stolen car
But I bet we wouldn't get too far
Before the transformation takes
And bloodlust tanks and crave gets slaked
My mind has changed

Gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your mongrel mind
Baby doll, I recognize
You're a hideous thing inside
If ever there were a lucky kind it's
You, you, you, you
I know its strange another way to get to know you
You'll never know unless we go so let me show you
I know its strange another way to get to know you
We've got till noon here comes the moon
So let it show you
Show you now
Dream me oh dreamer
Down to the floor
Open my hands and let them
Weave onto yours
Feel me, completer
Down to my core
Open my heart and let it
Bleed onto yours
Feeding on fever
Down all fours
Show you what all that howl is for
Hey hey my playmate
Let me lay waste to thee
Burned down their hanging trees
It's hot here hot here hot here hot here
Got a curse we cannot lift
Shines when the sunset shifts
There's a cure comes with a kiss
The bite that binds the gift that gives
Now that we got gone for good
Writhing under your riding hood
Tell your gra'ma and your mama too
It's true
We're howling forever

Two weeks to a day, the days flying by. Her life speeding by in fast-forward. How many days did that give her, if she was counting to forty? Four? It took me a minute to figure out how to swallow.
“You okay?” she asked.
I nodded, not really sure how my voice would come out.
Edward’s face was turned away from us as he listened to my thoughts, but I could see his reflection in the glass wall. He was the burning man again.

Well, it rains and it pours

If I crash on the couch
Can I sleep in my clothes?
'Cause I've spent the night dancing
I'm drunk, I suppose
If it looks like I'm laughing
I'm really just asking to leave
This alone
You're in time for the show
You're the one that I need
I'm the one that you loathe
You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose
'Cause I love all the poison
Away with the boys in the band
I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?
Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me
There's a place in the dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo
I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?
Give me a shot to remember

“It feels… complete when you’re here, Jacob. Like all my family is together. I mean, I guess that’s what it’s like—I’ve never had a big family before now. It’s nice.” She smiled for half a second. “But it’s just not whole unless you’re here.”
“I’ll never be part of your family, Bella.”
I could have been. I would have been good there. But that was just a distant future that died long before it had a chance to live.
“You’ve always been a part of my family,” she disagreed.
My teeth made a grinding sound. “That’s a crap answer.”
“What’s a good one?”
“How about, ‘Jacob, I get a kick out of your pain.’”
I felt her flinch.
“You’d like that better?” she whispered.
“It’s easier, at least. I could wrap my head around it. I could deal with it.”

How I hope that you're still here when I return
Burning bridges is a form of suicide
I saw the fires as the ghost of my life
Passed me by and there's nowhere you can hide
From the lessons or the lies that bind them
I'm so tired
I've had enough
If there's one thing I've learned
You'll always get burned

Can we count on our conversations
to restore us like energon cubes
Made one wish for a permanent kiss
That would echo through these bones like arsenic
I can figure out the point of anything
Just not as quick as I can mess up my life
With all my dreams hooked to hospital machines
I think, "let's try redefining beautiful."

Oooh, ouch, that’s gonna leave a huge mark. Ha, she barked. Tell me who does want me around, and I’m outta here.
So this isn’t about Seth at all, is it?
Of course it is. I’m just pointing out that being unwanted is not a first for me. Not really a motivating factor, if you know what I mean.

Hey you, hey you
Devil's little sister
Listening to your
Twisted transistor
Hold it between your legs
Turn it up, turn it up
The wind is coming through
Can't get enough
A lonely life
Where no one understands you
But don't give up
Because the music do
Music do, music do
Music do, music do
Music do, music do
Because the music do
And then it's reaching
Inside you
Forever preaching
"Fuck you too!"
Your scream's a whisper
Hang on you
Twisted transistor
Hey you, hey you
Finally you get it
The world ain't fair
Eat you if you let it
And as your tears fall on
Your breasts, your dress
Vibrations coming through
You're in a mess
A lonely life
Where no one understands you
But don't give up
Because the music do
Music do, music do
Music do, music do
Music do, music do
Because the music do
And then it's reaching
Inside you
Forever preaching
"Fuck you too!"
Your scream's a whisper
Hang on you
Twisted transistor
Music do, music do
Music do, music do
Music do, music do
Music do, music do
Hey you, hey you
This won't hurt a bit
This won't hurt a bit, this won't hurt
Says who, says who
Anesthetize this bitch
Anesthetize this bitch, anesthetize
Just let me be
Between you and me, don't fit
Music do
And then it's reaching
Inside you
Forever preaching
"Fuck you too!"
Your scream's a whisper
Hang on you

She knew what I was offering, and she wasn’t going to think twice about it. I’d known that she wouldn’t. But it still stung.
“There isn’t much you wouldn’t do for me, either, is there?” she whispered. “I really don’t know why you bother. I don’t deserve either of you.”
“It makes no difference, though, does it?”
“Not this time.”

Through the storms and the light
Babe, you've stood by my side
And life is wine
But there are days in this life
When you see the teeth marks of time
Two lovers divide
Sound meets sound, babe
The echoes they sorround
And know that we need is one thing
Now what is there to allow?
Babe, it's time we give something new a try
Oh, alone we may fight
So, just let us be three
And baby tonight
I see your lips are on fire
And life is wine
Now the windows are open the moon is so bright
There's no one can tell us what love brings, you and I
Sound meets sound, babe
Her echoes they surround
And know that we need is one thing
Now what is there to allow
Babe, it's time we give something new a try
Oh, alone we may fight
So just let us be three, tonight
Through the storms and the light
Baby, you've stood by my side
And life is wine
You feel the sweet breath of time
It's whispering, its truth not mine
There's no I in threesome
And I am all for it
Babe, it's time we give something new a try
Oh, alone we may fight
And feathers bend like trees in the moonlight
Babe, it's time we give something new a try
Oh, alone we may fight
So just let us be three tonight

“If you think that imprinting could ever make sense of this insanity...” I struggled for words. “Do you really think that just because I might someday imprint on some stranger it would make this right?” I jabbed a finger toward her swollen body. “Tell me what the point was then, Bella! What was the point of me loving you? What was the point of you loving him? When you die”—the words
were a snarl—“how is that ever right again? What’s the point to all the pain? Mine, yours, his! You’ll kill him, too, not that I care about that.” She flinched, but I kept going. “So what was the point of your twisted love story, in the end? If there is any sense, please show me, Bella, because I don’t see it.”

Earth to Bella
You think you've got it all figured in
Earth to Bella
Everything you know is wrong
Well, almost
Earth to Bella
I've seen when you are not listening
I bear the burden of being the voice that lets you know
We all grow old
And before you swim you gotta be okay to sink
Earth to Bella
The world can be an unfriendly place
So hold your head up
And do your best to save some face
It's not so hard
Just undo yourself and see a second sun ascend
I'm okay to sink, okay to sink
Im okay to sink, okay to sink

I saw her at the same moment that I caught her scent.
Her warm, clean, human scent.
Bella was half-hidden behind the arm of the sofa, curled up in a loose fetal position, her arms wrapped around her knees. For a long second I could see nothing except that she was still the Bella that I loved, her skin still a soft, pale peach, her eyes still the same chocolate brown. My heart thudded a strange, broken meter, and I wondered if this was just some lying dream that I was about to wake up from.

And, uh, all those late night promises
I guess they don't mean a thing
So baby, what's the story?
Did you find another man?
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?
When you don't look back I guess the feelings start to fade away
I used to feel your fire but now it's cold inside
And you're back on the street like you didn't miss a beat, yeah
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was good in your life
To the toss of the dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Yeah
Girl, before I met you I was F.I.N.E. Fine
But your love made me a prisoner
Yeah, my heart's been doing time
You spent me up like money
Then you hung me out to dry
It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
'Cause you had me in deep with the devil in your eyes
Tell me what it takes to let you go

Tell me that you're happy that you're on your own
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me that it's better when you're all alone

Tell me you ain't dyin' when you're cryin' for me

Breaking Dawn: Book One – Chapter 8 - Jacob's perspective
I wondered—would a bullet through my temple actually kill me or just leave a really big mess for me to clean up?
I threw myself down on the bed. I was tired—hadn’t slept since my last patrol—but I knew I wasn’t going to sleep. My head was too crazy. The thoughts bounced around inside my skull like a disoriented swarm of bees. Noisy. Now and then they stung. Must be hornets, not bees. Bees died after one sting. And the same thoughts were stinging me again and again.

Kinda like a cloud I was up way up in the sky
And I was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe
Sometimes I don't believe them myself
And I decided I was never coming down
Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye
It was just about too small to see
But I watched it way too long
It was pulling down
I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
Now I'm down in it
Shut up
So what what does it matter now?
I was swimming in the hate
Now I crawl on the ground
And everything I never liked about you is kind of seeping into me
I try to laugh about it now
But isn't it funny how everything works out?
I guess the jokes on me, she said
I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
Now I'm down in it
I used to be so big and strong
I used to know my right from wrong
I used to never be afraid
I used to be somebody
I used to have something inside
Now just this hole it's open wide
I used to want it all
I used to be somebody
I'll cross my heart and hope to die
But the needle's already in my eye
And all the world's weight is on my back
And I don't even know why
And what I used to think was me is just a fading memory
I looked him right in the eye and said goodbye
I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
Now I'm down in it
Rain, rain, go away
Rain, rain, go away
Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
Now I'm down in it

Breaking Dawn: Book One – Chapter 7 - Edward's perspective
When I could no longer bear the violent energy radiating out of him, I quietly left the room. His manic concentration made me sick to my stomach—not like the morning sickness, just uncomfortable. I would wait somewhere else for his mood to pass. I couldn’t talk to this icy, focused Edward who honestly frightened me a little.

Memories are just where you laid them
Dragging the waters til the depths give up their dead
What did you expect to find?
Was it something you left behind?
Don't you remember anything I said when I said
Don't fall away and leave me to myself
Don't fall away and leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again
And leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands
Love lies bleeding
Oh, hold me now I feel contagious
Am I the only place that you've left to go?
She cries her life is like
Some movie in black and white
Dead actors faking lines
Over and over and over again she cries
Don't fall away and leave me to myself
Don't fall away and leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again
And leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands
Love lies bleeding
And I watched as you turned away
You don't remember, but I do
You never even tried
Don't fall away and leave me to myself
Don't fall away and leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again
Leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again
Leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again, oh

Breaking Dawn: Book One – Chapter 5
The sun, hot on the bare skin of my back, woke me in the morning. Late morning, maybe afternoon, I wasn’t sure. Everything besides the time was clear, though; I knew exactly where I was—the bright room with the big white bed, brilliant sunlight streaming through the open doors. The clouds of netting would soften the shine.
I didn’t open my eyes. I was too happy to change anything, no matter how small. The only sounds were the waves outside, our breathing, my heartbeat...

Sometimes I wake up
And I'm falling asleep
I think that maybe the curtains
Are closing on me
But I wake up
Yes I wake up and smile
Sometimes I feel
The chance is surprising
Surprisingly good
To be moving around
So I wake up
Yes I wake up smiling
So what?
I feel fine
I'm okay, I've seen the lighter side of life
I'm alright, I feel good
So I'll go and I'll try to start moving
Sometimes I wake up
And I'm falling asleep
But I've got to get going
So much that I'm wanting to do
But I wake up smiling
And this could be my last chance
Of saving my human sense
And this could be my last chance
No more keeping my feet on the ground
Sometimes I feel
The chance is surprising
Surprisingly good
To be moving around
And I move
I wake up smiling
So what? I feel fine
I feel okay, I've seen the lighter side of life
I'm alright, I feel good
So I'll go, well it's time to start moving on
And this could be my last chance
Of saving my human sense
And this could be my last chance
No more keeping my feet on the ground
I'm not gonna keep on
I'm not gonna keep on moving
I'm not gonna keep on
I'm not gonna keep on moving
