    SOUNDTRACK: Burn It Down by AWOLNATION

    Soundtrack to Magic & Steam: The Gangster by C.S. Poe

    I think of the Magic & Steam songs as Gillian’s boss fight soundtrack. Throughout his most of his life, Gillian survived by lying and holding back his magic just so he could escape the notice of the powers that be. I imagine this song playing at that critical moment where he thought “fuck it!” and unleashed everything.

    If you’re feeling like I feel then run your life like it’s a dance floor
    And if you need a little heat in your face, that’s what I’m here for
    If you’re chilling in the dark and you’re looking through a telescope
    You will see me sipping on a soul of a new hope

    So burn it down, burn it down
    So burn it down, burn it down, yeah
    So burn it down, burn it down baby burn it burn it down
    Burn it down, burn it down baby burn it burn it down
    Burn it down, burn it down baby burn it burn it down
    Burn it down, burn it down baby burn it burn it down

    If you’re feeling like I feel throw your fist through the ceiling
    Some people call it crazy well I call it healing
    If you need love turn around, do the helicopter
    If you’re sick, baby girl I would love to be your doctor

    So burn it down, burn it down
    So burn it down, burn it down, yeah
    So burn it down, burn it down baby burn it burn it down
    Burn it down, burn it down baby burn it (motherfucker) burn it down
    Burn it down, burn it down baby burn it burn it down
    Burn it down, burn it down baby burn it burn it down
    So burn it down

    Looking through a window made of time, would you have the courage not to lie
    Looking down the barrel of today, would that make you turn around and stay
    Looking through a window made of time, would you have the courage not to lie

    Down
    Burn it down
    Hey, burn it down
    Burn it down
    So burn it down, burn it down baby burn it burn it down
    Burn it down, burn it down baby burn it burn it down
    Motherfucker, burn it down, burn it down baby burn it burn it down
    Burn it down, burn it down baby burn it burn it down

    Burn it down
    Burn it down
    So, burn it down
    Burn it down, yeah
    So, burn it down, burn it down baby burn it burn it down
    Burn it down, burn it down baby burn it (motherfucker) burn it down
    Burn it down, burn it down baby burn it burn it down
    Burn it down, burn it down baby burn it burn it down
    So burn it down

    I’m just blowin’ up, blowin’ up these bridges behind me
    I’m just blowin’ up, blowin’ up these bridges behind me
    I’m just blowin’ up, blowin’ up

    And now I glow in the dark
