1. Easier to Lie- Aqualung

To bear the weight,
and push into the sky
it's easier to lie,
it's easier to lie

And honestly,
to look you in the eye,
It's easier to lie,
It's easier to lie.

"No, Everything's fine. I promise," Lash nervously shoved his hands in his pockets, talking to Myk on the phone.

She didn't know about the scheme for home coming, and it was eating away at him.

She didn't know, and she couldn't know.

"Lash. Please don't keep secrets from me," Myk said on the other end of the line, and he heard her emit a heavy sigh. "I can't stand it."

"Myk. I love you. I wouldn't lie to you, I told you, I promise," He said again, covering his face with his free hand. The other hand was holding the cell phone to his ear.

"Okay. I gotta go, these brats want me to play with them," Myk said about the kids she was babysitting, and hung up.

"It's better this way," Lash said to himself after he put down the phone. "It's easier this way.

2. Charcoal Gray Above- The Spill Canvas

The wind hits the rocks
The soundtrack to my thoughts
Just walk away, don't even think about it
You wouldn't understand if you tried

And all these things belong to me
The shore and all its beauty
And as the waves crash over me
My body is tumbling to the bottom of the sea

I wish I was at the beach, Layla thought to herself, sitting next to Will Stronghold on his rooftop. Anywhere but here.

She was growing tired of the town, tired of the people. She wanted to get out, to be free. She wanted something of her very own, that no one could take away. She looked at Will and smiled as he traced a pattern on the palm of her hand.

"I love it here," Will sighed, leaning back to lay on the roof. "I want to raise a family in this city. Wouldn't that be nice, Layla?"

"Yeah," Layla sighed absentmindedly. "Nice..."

He could never know.

3. Ready-TheStarting Line

I've been waiting for answers,
Dancing in circles,
Making me sick.

I've been chained like a tiger,
To hundreds of liars,
All holding hands.

Myk threw a book across her room, and screamed. How could he? How could he lie to her?

It was after homecoming, after Myk had been turned in to a baby and back again. He'd promised that everything was fine. That everything was okay. And he lied.He never even flinched, lying to her. Was it that easy? Was she that gullable?

Myk kicked off her highheels and sat on her bed, burrying her face in her hands. She had to stop this. If she ever saw Lash again, she would tell him it was over. He knew it was over, but she just wanted to tell him.

There was a knock at the door.

"Myk-" Lash's head peeked inside her room, and narrowly dodged a high heel.

"OH, YOU," She screamed, throwing open the door, her face twisted in rage.

He rushed into the room and grabbed her, kissing her full on the mouth.

"I'm sorry," He said, genuinely.

There was always room for forgiveness.

4. When You're Around- Motion City Soundtrack.

Can we fake it?
Can we make believe?
I'm so full of love it deeply sickens me

But all I can do is close my eyes,
And cross my heart,
And hope to die
Coz you don't fucking listen,
When I'm around

The least you could do is take it back
All the vicious remarks and verbal attacks
Coz I can't fucking stand it,
When you're around.

Zach didn't understand himself. Why did he like Magenta so much? She was so vile. So mean. So cruel. But he couldn't get enough.

"Magenta," He said, nudging her side lightly.

"What do you want, Lightbulb?" She rolled her eyes and looked at him.

Zach didn't know what came over him. He grabbed the back of Magenta's neck and forced their faces together. She squealed, and pushed him away.

"What the heck, doofus!" She wiped her mouth and growled at him.

"Nothing," Zach smiled and went back to eating the salad that the cafeteria had issued him.

"You're such a retard," She stabbed a piece of lettuce, and he could hear the smile in her voice.

"No," He waved his fork at her. "I'm your retard."

5. I feel fine- The Beatles.

baby's good to me,
you know she's happy as can
you know she said so.

I'm in love with her and I feel fine

Baby says she's mine,
you know she tells me all the time
you know she said so

I'm in love with her and I feel fine.

Warren sighed, and turned over on his bed. He couldn't get his mind off Layla. They had gone on a date, to the movies, and he hadn't been able to get his mind off her.

He grabbed his phone and flipped it open, searching for her number. He paused, his finger hovering over the talk button. He didn't want to bother her. He was never nervous and he was hesitant about calling Layla Williams. He closed his eyes and pushed talk, waiting for the dial tone to start ringing.

"Heeeeeeey, It's Layla, leave me a message and I'll call you back," Her answering machine. Warren sighed again and tossed his phone across the bed. It collided with his foot, and he grunted and rubbed his foot, it was throbbing dully now.

"Whatever," He said to himself, sitting up. "I'm fine."

6. Money City Maniacs- Sloan

Hey, you
you've been around for a while
If you admit that you were wrong then we'll admit that we're right
Hey you
Come along for the ride
We'll hit the money city if it takes us all night

And the Joke is when he awoke his
Body was covered in coke fizz

"Come on!" Lash laughed, turning around to wave Speed along. His buddy laughed and lumbered after him, barely using his super speed at all.

The two had just set loose all the animals in the pet store, their weekly villianous act. They never got caught, what when Lash jumped on Speed's back and they raced out of there.

"Man," Speed laughed, catching up to his lanky friend. "I wish we could see the look on their sorry faces."

"Come on," Lash said again. "Let's go to the pound."

7. Prisoners- Regina Spektor

All of the prisoners
Serving life sentences
Wait for the Earth to suddenly shake
For the walls to somehow suddenly come crumbling, tumbling
And for the bars somehow magically break

Oh there's nothing wrong with them that a thousand bucks cant fix
that a thousand arms cant hold down
On the ground they're tatooing the stones with cusses, like cavemen
yo' mama was here.

They wanna run through the air barriers or obsticals
Gunmen or gaurddogs or priests
And to rise from the mud and start over and over
With the people all dead

If Hans Christian Anderson
Could've had his way with me then
None of this shit would have ever gone down
In my cell I'm tattooing myself with mermaids and swallows
And oh, I do swallow
My mama thinks I'm big but I'm really just little
And some day I will remember...

Lash couldn't believe it. Neither could Speed. Neither could Penny. Gwen believed it just fine, and Stitches sat giggling in the corner.

"You said this plan was fail proof, Gwen- Sue- Whatever your name is now," Penny pouted, sliding down in her chair.

"I didn't plan on a bunch of sidekicks coming to save the day," Gwen- Sue- Whatever her name is- growled.

They were going to jail in the morning. They would be given the chance to go home and say goodbye to their families and loved ones, and the next morning, patrol cars would come to pick them up. There was no avoiding it. They couldn't skip town; where would they go?

"This whomps," Speed muttered and leaned forward. Lash nodded and closed his eyes.

They had ruined their lives in one fatefull night.

8. Shut up and let me go- The Ting Tings

Shut up and let me go
This hurts I tell you so
For the last time you will kiss my lips
Now shut up and let me go
Your jeans were once so clean
I bet you changed your wardrobe since we met

Now oh so easily you're over me
Gone is love, it's you that ought to be holding me
I'm not containable
This turns up it's not sustainable

Now oh so easily you're over me
Gone is love, it's me that ought to be moving on
You're not adorable
I want something un-ignorable.

Layla couldn't believe it. There he was, making out with some bleached blonde bimbo. Sure, they were broken up, but seeing Will kissing someone else still hurt.

Well screw you, She thought to her self. You were never cute anyway. Your teeth are crooked. I hate you.

She stormed off in the opposite direction, sure they hadn't noticed her. She turned the corner and ran smack dab into a solid body.

"Whoa there, Hippie," A familiar, friendly voice laughed. Layla looked up, smiling at Warren.

I could dig it, She thought to her self. What I need is something people will say 'wow' about. Something they wont forget.

That's what Warren Peace is for.

9. Wishful thinking- The Dittybops

Why does blood turn brown when it dries?
And why do the tears well up in your eyes?
And why didn't I learn to ride my bike when It was warm and sunny outside?

Why can't little kids tie their shoes?
And why can't the white people play the blues?
Why can't I fall in love with you? It must be because of the seasons.

When the leaves start falling from the trees
When the birds start flirting with with the bees
When the wind starts blowing from the east to the west
Maybe you'll be the one that I like best.

Magenta didn't understand a lot of things. But the thing she didn't understand the most was how a guy so goofy and weird could like her. Actually like her.

She looked up at Zach as they were slow dancing. He was so tall, she could barely believe it.

She wanted to like him back. She really, honestly did. But she couldn't make herself like any one; let alone someone who was the exact opposite of her.

Zach looked down at her and smiled his lopsided smile. He leaned down and kissed her nose.

A small bubbly feeling started in the pit of Magenta's stomach, and rose to erupt in a smile on her face.

Maybe she could like him after all.

10. Between the Lines- Sara Bareilles

Time to tell me the truth
To burden your mouth for what you say
No pieces of paper in the way
Cause I cant continue pretending to choose
The opposite sides on which we fall
The loving you laters if at all
No right minds could wrong be this many times

My memory is cruel
Im queen of attention to details
Defending intentions if he fails
Until now, he told me her name
It sounded familiar in a way
I could have sworn i'd heard him say it ten thousand times
If only i had been listening

Myk sat in her room, curled up in a ball on her futon bed. She hugged her pillow, her body shaking with sobs. She had known it would happen eventually. She just never thought it would happen so soon.

But at least he had told her. At least he'd been man enough to come right out and say it. She wiped her eyes, sitting up, moaning in agony.

Her heart hadn't broken, it had melted. It had turned to acid and sunk down into her stomach, burning her.

It had started out so sweet, so innocent. It had turned serious, and passionate. Then it was over, in a heartbeat. One minute they were together, the next...

All because Lash Livingston had cheated on her.
