Ain't It Fun—Dead Boys

Ain't it fun when you're always on the run
Ain't it fun when your friends despise what you've become
Ain't it fun when you get so high
Well... that you, you just can't come
Ain't it fun when you know that you're gonna die young

UPO—Godless

Checking into leaving, yeah I'm folding
Tired of breaking down and shaking
This life around
Tired of praying, yeah tired of trying myself
I'm tired of being taken all the way
I don't need to be godless - but I am
I don't need my head - keeping all my problems
I don't need your hand of god
I don't need, I say I'm godless
With nowhere to fall, I'm all ready to fall

Watching You Fall—Savatage

On a TV mounted on the wall
From this distance I can see it all
And I've been out here
Watching you fall

God Says No—Monster Magnet

Firing my friend
But I come back again and again
I just can't pretend
One more step and I'll start to bend
You try and live
And God says no

I Will Remember (Instrumental)--George Lynch

Losing—Hurt

We can try to laugh it off, I guess
Claiming blissful listlessness
But I miss, how it used to be
She only looks like you
When it's using me

Redefine—SOiL

Every time I fall
You catch me
And every time I lose control
You help me, you save me
And every time I lose myself
You find me, redefine me

My God
How stained my hands have been
Makes me sick from inside out again
I've got it, always had it
A reason to look within now
Stand close
To my side again
Never stuck a knife in my back, friend
I've got it, always had it
A reason to live within now

My Friend of Misery—Metallica

These times are sent to try men's souls
But something's wrong with all you see
You, you'll take it on all yourself
Remember, misery loves company

Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders

Tomorrow—Ozzy Osbourne

Welcome to the sideshow, I'll cut you to the chase
Yeah I can hear you thinking it's going all to waste
I don't mean to offend you when I look you in the eyes
What's all this commotion? It leaves me mystified...

...No more goodbyes or yesterdays
So it's, I'll see you tomorrow

When the Weight Comes Down—Black Stone Cherry

There's too much blood down in the Texas oil
The Rocky Mountain Tops are the only place free
What ever happened to the Carolina beaches
I miss those Georgia peaches

So where to you wanna be
When all hell breaks loose
Where do you wanna go

When the weight comes down
Watch for foreign soldiers
They'll try to break your neck
And I just wanna break your heart

Don't Cry (Alternate) – Guns N Roses

I thought I could live in your world
As years all went by
With all the voices I've heard
Something has died
And when you're in need of someone
My heart won't deny you
So many seem so lonely
With no one left to cry to baby

And don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you

I Thank You My Child—Zakk Wylde

Faith's done gone astray
It was you who made living all worth the while
Oh I thank you my child
It was you who made living all worth the while
Oh I thank you my child

You're all & everything to me
Til the end of times you know you'll always be
Ain't no second guess
Oh you put my worried soul to rest

This mix is primarily in Castiel's POV, although there are a few tracks that are for both, and one (Watching You Fall) that is Dean POV. All songs fall within the rock/metal/punk spectrum. Title is derived from the Black Stone Cherry song included in this mix.

While labeled Dean/Castiel, this could reflect either friendship or a romantic relationship. All up to your own interpretation of it.

The front cover art picture is a wallpaper graphic from wallpaperabyss.com and I make no claim as to creating the original version.

However, the back cover art is a photograph that I took last year (or the year before? not sure) on the highway leading towards the Chautauqua Institute. Even if it is not the "Chitaqua" that was referred to in "The End" (I'm guessing the "Camp Chitaqua" in the EP is supposed to be located around Boulder, CO--although if was supposed to be a bastardization of the spelling of the Chautauqua in W. NY, that would be awesome...because after all, the Chautauqua Institute was first created as a religious learning camp for families, and it was the first of it's kind in the US, and...oh, hells, talking about why I think it would be awesome would take a whole new posting. It would just be cool, eh?) I still thought it would be funny to use it.

The point of the above ramble: I didn't make the first picture, but I did the second. Thanks.
