mix: my life in pieces

Title: My Life in Pieces
Warnings/Notes: Explicit lyrics within~ This is one of my favourite episodes of Charmed so I sure hope I did it justice. This episode has the usual demon to fight but the main point of it is the relationship between Chris and Leo and I've always found it very powerful and telling for the series going forward as Leo's actions often stem from this episode.

The Halliwell family are witches that fight demons and save the world on the face of it. They are a very close family and when a whitelighter (guardian angel type) comes from the future and turns out to be half witch and the son of Piper, a charmed one, and her whitelighter Leo it changes everything. Thing is he appears to hate his father Leo and want nothing to do with him. A demon taking over his body gets all of his emotions and issues out and it doesn't prove pretty. Leo was never there for him and Chris is more than a little bitter about it.

You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, you'll see
I don't want love to destroy me like it has done
my family

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave

p!nk - family portrait


What was left when that fire was gone
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
And I don't even know what kind of things I said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
So I'm picking up the pieces, now where to begin
The hardest part of ending is starting again


All I want to do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got
I'm holding on to what I haven't got
I'm holding on to what I haven't got

linkin park - waiting for the end



You left without saying goodbye
Although I'm sure you tried
You call the house from time to time
To make sure we're alive
But you weren't there
Right when I needed you the most
And now I dream about it
And how it's so bad, it's so bad



Father's hands are lined with guilt
For tearing us apart
Guess it turned out in the end
Just look at where we are
We made it out, we still got clothing on our backs
And now I scream about it
And how it's so bad, it's so bad

nickelback - too bad


I never realized I was spread too thin
'Til it was too late and I was empty within
Hungry, feeding on chaos and living in sin
Downward spiral, where do I begin?
It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself and no love for another
Searching to find a love upon a higher level
Finding nothing but questions and devils

'Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothing's alright, nothing is fine

papa roach - last resort

Only when I stop to think about you,
I know
Only when you stop to think about me,
do you know?

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
You hate everything about me
Why do you love me?

I hate
You hate
I hate
You love me

three days grace - i hate everything about you


I know my mother loves me
But does my father even care?
If I'm sad or angry
You were never ever there

papa roach - broken home

The walls start breathing
My mind's unweaving
Maybe it's best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.

the all-american rejects - it ends tonight


Bring me home in a blinding dream,
Through the secrets that I have seen
Wash the sorrow from off my skin
And show me how to be whole again

linkin park - castle of glass

This is literally perfect for this ep. Charmed is my joint favourite tv show ever.

[pureimagination]

yay, glad you like it!

Urgh I adore Charmed. Used to watch the new eps every Thurs night and the double bill every day from 4.15 weekdays. people would ask me to do thing after school and I'd be like nope, heavy bag to ditch laters but...most of it was charmed.

Urgh, ngl, kind of wish it was happening now cause I want to know if tumblr could work out Chris was Piper's son before it happened lol :P
