There's Something in the Rough - fic soundtrack on Spotify

1. Walking Wounded - Jill Andrews

I feel like a ghost
When the pain starts flooding in through my veins
Feels like the afterlife
Nobody behind your eyes

 

2. It's Hard to Be Human - Kina Grannis

It's hard to be human and hard to grow up
I just keep trying and keep messin' up
And maybe I'm learnin' and findin' my way
But how could I feel this and still be okay?

 

3. Hush (What a Mess) - The Sweeplings

Bite my tongue, keep it in
Let my thoughts, let them stay hidden
If I could speak, just maybe
Would you hear, would you even blink?

What a mess we've made, made
What a mess we've made
What a mess we've made, made
What a mess

 

4. Sinking In - Katelyn Tarver ft. Jake Scott

You were the ground that I used to stand on
Now the familiar's gone and I'm trying to hold on

I've been trying to resist it
Tryna keep it at a distance, oh
But I'm standing in the same place
And I don't feel anything at all

'Cause letting go of you feels like I'm letting go of me
Without you here I wouldn't know who I am or who to be

 

5. Still Standing - Roses & Revolution

Well I'm still standing, I'm still standing on my own
Well I'm still standing
But I know I'm not alone

Well it gets crowded and heavy, but my voice will be ready
Well I'm still standing, I'm still standing on my own

 

6. Brothers - Penny and Sparrow

If you cut your hand
I'm gonna cut mine
And then when we shake 'em
We'll be the same color and type

You're smiling at me
You put down the knife
You say it's not time yet, instead
Let's go walking outside

Don't give up
Don't you quit on me
Don't give up
Don't you quit on me

 

7. Hope - Texada

Hope
It's when you don't know what's next
But you take the next step
Hope
It can turn you into a fool
It can feel so cruel
And when you think that it's all gone
It shows up in a smile or song

It's hard to have it
Easy to lose it
It could bend ya, break ya, burn ya
At the end of the day
It could give you hell or
Pull you through it
Hope ain't disappoint us but we hold on anyway

 

8. Wisconsin - Madilyn

Oh, Wisconsin, I bet they say I've changed
But you and I both know I'm still the same

Oh, Wisconsin, what's new?
Are you still at church by 8AM
And in the bar by noon?
Oh, Wisconsin, I've heard you're movin' on
And yeah, that's fair, I guess that I am too

 

9. The Sanctuary Within - Erasmus Talbot

[Instrumental]
