Song-"Building a Mystery" by Sarah McLachlan
Contributed by Jaina
You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta ware and your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith that died before Jesus came
You're building a mystery
You live in a church, where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up your search
For the ghosts and the haunts
You wear sandals in the snow,
And a smile that won't wash away
Can you look out a window
Without your shadow getting in the way?
You're so beautiful, with an edge and a charm
And so careful, when I'm in your arms
Because you're working, building a mystery
Holding on, and holding in,
Yeah you're working, building a mystery,
And choosing so carefully
You woke up screaming aloud,
A prayer to your secret god
You feed off our fears and hold back your tears, oh
You give us a tantrum and a know-it-all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening is thin
You're beautiful, a beautiful f***ed up man
You're setting up your razor-wire shrine
Because you're working, building a mystery
Holding on, and holding in,
Yeah you're working, building a mystery,
And choosing so carefully
You're building a mystery.

Song-"Gasoline" by Jann Arden
Contributed by Barb
Hold out your heart and on it let the sun shine down
Open your mind and through it let the wisdom pour
Give me your word and I will give you all my trust
Give me a sign and I will give you all my love
There's dirt in my mouth from kissing who I should not dare
There's mud coming out with every rip and every tear
This thing beneath my ribs will beat me to the ground
I've got to hold out my heart, on it let the sun shine down
(got to hold out my heart)
Sun shine down
My guilty skin like gasoline is burning out a hole in me
My guilty heart lies here in ruin, in ruin
Nobody knows me, no one will ever see
The distance between what is and what will never be
A bird will break his wings
Like a heart will cut her strings
And there isn't anything to comfort me
My guilty skin like gasoline is burning out a hole in me
My guilty heart lies here in ruin, in ruin
A bird will break his wings
Like a heart will cut her strings
And there isn't anything to comfort me (hold out your heart).
Gasoline
Gasoline

Song- "Falling Silent in the Dark" by Catie Curtis
Contributed by Lauda
In the dark of December, in the late afternoon,
I can still remember all about you.
'Cause the heart of the memory hasn't faded yet
and the way that you loved me, I will never forget
And the snow falls right by my bed at night,
So steady like your heart
Falling silent in the dark
In the days of the winter, it's even cold in the sun
And that's probably a good thing, because it keeps me numb
So I can remember, and not even cry
The smile on your face and the laugh in your eye
In the dead of the night, in my deepest of dreams
We are always together, in every scene
I can feel you with me, I can feel your skin
I can feel how easy it would be to love you again
And the snow falls right by my bed at night
So steady like your heart
Falling silent in the dark
And it's so strange to be apart
Falling silent in the dark
