full metal alchemist - edward elric - heart on fire

HEART ON FIRE | an edward elric mix.

| HIM | the funeral of hearts
she was the sun, shining upon the tomb of your hopes and dreams so frail.
he was the moon, painting you with its glow so vulnerable and pale.
the heretic seal beyond divine, pray to god who's deaf and blind. the
last night, the soul's on fire, three little words and question why.
love's the funeral of hearts, a plea for mercy, when love is the gun
separating me from you.

| BRIGHT EYES |  poison oak
poison oak, some boyhood bravery, when the telephone was a tin can on a
string and i fell asleep with you still talking to me. you said you weren't
afraid to die. but me, i'm a single cell on a serpent's tongue and there's
a muddy field where a garden was. and i'm glad you got away, but i'm still
stuck out here, my clothes soaking wet from your brother's tears. and
i never thought this life was possible.

| THE TEMPER TRAP | resurrection
in the cold stone walls, house where the fleeting dead fall. a mother
is crying outside, in the darkest of hours, left with her perilous thoughts,
the circle to squeeze dry her soul. she said, lord imma lose my baby,
come hurry and resurrect me. we're babies in a scavenger's glimpse,
then a neon cross shines and shows us to tread on the line of guilt trips
while love grips the blind.

| 10 YEARS | wasteland
change my attempt, good intentions. crouched over, you were not there,
living in fear. but signs were not really that scarce, obvious tears. but
i will not hide you through this, i want you to help and please see the bleeding
heart perched on my shirt. limbs tight, skin tight, self inflicted his perdition.
should i? could i? here we are with your obsession.

| COLDPLAY | fix you
when you try your best but you don't succeed. when you feel so tired,
but you can't sleep. and the tears come streaming down your face when you lose
something you can't replace. when you love someone but it goes to waste.
could it be worse? lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones. and i...
and i will try to fix you. i promise you i will learn from my mistakes
and i will try to fix you.

| PLACEBO | running up that hill
you wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me? you wanna hear about
the deal i'm making? you, you and me, be running up that hill. and if i only
could make a deal with god and get him to swap our places. be running up
that road, be running up that hill, with no problems. if only i could. you,
you and me, you and me won't be unhappy.

| STAIND | so far away
this is my life, it's not what it was before. and these feeling i have shared,
these are my dreams, that i've never lived before. now that we are here,
it's so far away, all the struggle we thought was in vain. all the mistakes,
one life contained, they finally start to go away. and i can forgive,
and i am not ashamed to be the person i am today.

| MIKA | we are golden (acoustic)
waking up in the midday sun, what's to live for? you could see what i've done,
staring at emotion in the light of day. i was running from the things
that you'd say. we are not what you think we are, we are golden, we are golden.
no giving up when you're young and you want some.

| AEROSMITH | dream on
all these lines on my face getting clearer, the past has gone.
it went like dusk to dawn, isn't that the way, everyone's got their dues in life to pay.
half my life's in books, written pages. live and learn from fools and from sages.
yeah, i know nobody knows where it comes and where it goes.
i know it's everybody's sin, you got to lose to know how to win.
dream on, dream on, and dream until your dream comes true.

a/n: i've been marathoning both full metal alchemist brotherhood & the manga, recently, and thus - this was born. 'wasteland' has always made me think of edward, ever since i saw the first anime years ago, and i wanted this mix to have the same feel as it -- powerful & hardhitting, a little painful, with nostalgia and guilt and hope all mixed into one. because that's a bit what ed is like, yeah?
