Here's the soundtrack for my fic Riku, Home. Hope you all like it :)

Riku, Home: on the tree, roles reversed

tracklisting: closeup, 'what a small world'
Download zip here :)

1. Lifeboats - Snow Patrol

Flashed up in my wildest dreams the dark red blood streams
Stretching out like vast cracked ice
The veins of you the veins of me like great forest trees
Pushing through and on and in
Gliding like a satellite in the broken night
And when I wake you're there I'm saved
Your love is life piled tight and high set against the sky
That seems to balance on it's own

Sing out sing out, the silence only eats us from the inside up
I meant no harm but I only get to say these words too late
Wake up wake up, dreaming only leads to more and more nightmares
Snap out of it you said it in a way that showed you really cared


Kind of self-explanatory if you've read the fic, but it has to do with Riku's nightmares and how Sora tries to help him through them.

2. Mama - My Chemical Romance

Stop asking me questions, I hate to see you cry.
Mama, we're all gonna die

Well Mother, what the war did to my legs and to my tongue,
You should have raised a baby girl
I should have been a better son
If you could coddle the infection, they can amputate at once
You should’ve been
I could have been a better son

Mama, we all go to hell,
It’s really quite pleasant except for the smell


Riku trying to get along with his mother again.

3. The Obvious Child - Paul Simon

I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep through the night
Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie
But I say why
Why deny the obvious child?

I've been waking up at sunrise
I've been following the light across my room
I watch the night receive the room of my day
Some people say the sky is just the sky
But I say
Why deny the obvious child?


This is more of a general song, I guess. It has to do with the "So what comes next?" feeling that Riku seems to have.

4. Take Me Away - Avril Lavigne

I cannot find a way
To describe it
It there, Inside
All I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do?
You do?
If you knew
What would you do

All the pain I thought I knew
All these thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable
Come and take me away

I feel like I'm all alone
All by myself
I need to get around this
My words are cold
I don't want them to hurt you
If I show you, I don't think you'd understand
Cos no one understands


Riku wants to tell Sora about his problems, but in a way, he also doesn't because he's afraid of Sora's reaction.

5. Who Needs Sleep? - Barenaked Ladies

Now I lay me down not to sleep
I just get tangled in the sheets
I swim in sweat three inches deep
Just lay back and claim defeat

Chapter read and lesson learned

Lids down
I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts
Is that I won't sleep
I count down
I look around

Who needs sleep?
Well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
Tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you get
And there's a guy that's been awake since the second world war


More of Riku's nightmare problem.

6. One Word - Conjure One

With only one word
You took the ice out of the air again
And put the heat back in the sun again
With only one word
With only one word you put the weapons of the world away
It's funny how a single thing you choose to say
Will change the world
And then suddenly means something better

Every single thing I see
Good or bad, you make it mean something better
Every pleasure, every pain
Every nightmare that I dream
Make it mean something better

With only one word
You took a war out of my history
It's funny how a single thing you choose to see
Could change the world and give mine back to me


Riku finally going over to Sora's house.

7. Narcolepsy - Third Eye Blind

I'm on a train, but there's no one at the helm
And there's a demon in my brain that starts to overwelm
And there it goes, my last chance for peace
Lay me down, but I get no release

And I say I,
I try to keep awake
I try to swim beneath
I try to keep awake
But I, I can feel this narcolepsy slide
Into another nightmare

And there's a demon in my head who starts to play
A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday
And I hold my breath 'till it's more than I can take
And I close my eyes and dream that I'm awake


Riku's nightmares.

8. Come To My Window - Melissa Etheridge

I would dial the numbers
Just to listen to your breath
I would stand inside my hell
And hold the hand of death
You don't know how far I'd go
To ease this precious ache
You don't know how much I'd give
Or how much I can take

Just to reach you

Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon


Riku and Sora. Riku's part is the verses, and Sora's part is the chorus.

9. Scar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause
With the birds I'll share
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view

Soft spoken with a broken jaw
Step outside but not to brawl
Autumn's sweet we call it fall
I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl


Riku deciding not to tell Sora, and the two different scars.

10. The Tuning Of Violins - Darren Hayes

I've been away so long I almost forgot how time and space
Cannot replace this feeling
Of flying over things
Now you're falling awake your sleepy face begins to register
That I'm coming home
Yeah I'm coming home to you


On a Sunday only we know
Where the sunlight and the wind blows
Over bluebells, over Blackheath
Calling your name I will float through your window

Major third
Or a minor seventh
I'm a violin tuned a little sharp
Tuned a little below

Now you're deep in a dream
The sheets and pillowcases seem to overtake your head
I'm at the foot of our bed

Break through the silence
The gulf that's between us
Take all the heartache and bullshit that builds up
And we will unravel
Unravel the moments


A song for Riku and Sora in the last scene, this time a happier one :)
