1. Different Kind of Knight ~ Christian Kane
You go believin' in your Lancelot
Well it's all in vain
And you're chasin' picket fences,
There's always hell to pay
I met many a girl in here
With the same story line
All them boys on those white horses
Don't know how to ride

But I got a paint outside with enough giddyup
To be free
I got a faint smell of cheap perfume
And a hint of gasoline
See I'm a different kind of knight
You're gonna find your fairy tales are lies
I don't have a white horse
But you can come along for the ride

***

2. I Should Tell You ~ RENT
I should tell you I'm disaster
I forget how to begin it
Let's just make this part go faster
I have yet -- To be in it

I should tell you, I should tell you
I should tell you, I should tell you

I should tell I blew the candle out
Just to get back in
I'd forgotten how to smile
Until your candle burned my skin

***

3. Give Me Novacaine ~ American Idiot
Out of body and out of mind
Kiss the demons out of my dreams
I get the funny feeling, that’s alright
Jimmy says its better than air,
I’ll tell you what

Drain the pressure from the swelling,
This sensation's overwhelming,
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me that I won't feel a thing,
So give me Novacaine

***

4. Somebody to Love ~ We Will Rock You
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet (take a look at yourself)
Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry)
Lord, what you doing to me
I spent all my years to believe in you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord
Somebody (somebody), ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love

I work hard (she works hard)
Every day of my life
I work till I ache in my bones

At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my broken heart all on my own
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray (praise the lord)
Till the tears run down from my eyes (oooh)
Oh somebody (somebody), ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love

***

5. Say (All I Need) ~ OneRepublic
Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something
Somewhere better just to have it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but
Nothing's turned out how you wanted

Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

***

6. Lose Myself ~ JC Chasez
She loves Daffodils, and
She keeps 'em on her window sill
When the wind blows her smell fills the room

She dreams in color
But does she know that I love her?
I'm swimming in my abyss of insecure blue, yeah

And I'm losing my head
And I can't get no sleep
(No sleep)
But if I reached out
(Reached out)
Would you reach out for me, yeah

***

7. Tangerine ~ Led Zeppelin
Measuring a summer's day,
I only find it slips away to grey,
The hours, they bring me pain.

Tangerine, Tangerine,
Living reflections from a dream;
I was her love, she was my queen,
And now a thousand years between.

Thinking how it used to be,
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And I do.

***

8. Details ~ Robert Downey Jr.
How did I find you?
Did I remind you of the boy at the Louvre?
Watching you move
Behind oil
For five around years

Out of the furnace
Into the forest
The harvest of my youth
Tell me the truth
Do you?
Does anyone, anymore?

I have come to believe
If a man does his deeds
While he is missing the wine
He's already died
A hundred times

***

9. Pipe Dreams ~ Mark Salling
So even if I don't see these pipe dreams come true
I hope that you know that I was thinking of you
And as much as I wish that I could do it alone
I can't so that's why I'm coming home

There's a reason I stay though I know damn well
That a city of angels can feel like a hell
But there's a savior I seek somewhere in the sky
And I'll join him or at least try

***

10. Save Me ~ The Pierces
There's a lot you don't know
There's a lot I can't tell
Would you think I'm crazy
If you knew me that well?

'cause there's a lot you don't know
But you say you won't go and I'd like to believe you

But I know there's no one left to save me
(I'm the only one)
There's no one left to save me
(I'm the only one)
There's no one left to save me

You originally asked for something related to the_4th_seal, but the new Dean was louder, so he’s the one who got the attention. I hope that’s okay.

This turned out a little more melancholoy than I thought it would. I thought that by picking the happier verse it would be … happier? But Dean is still pretty depressing in any verse.

There are also a lot of showtunes on this mix. I didn’t mean for it to be that way. I was originally going to use the Glee version of “Somebody to Love” for the title track because it’s more of a duet, but I wanted that particular stanza with the “broken heart” line and that only came with the We Will Rock You version.

I love this so much, you have no idea. I've listened to it a few times already. Lose Myself almost made me cry. In a...good way?

YAY! I'm glad you like it. Dude, I felt like such a dork for including my favorite *N SYNC member, but it worked so I couldn't not.
