* MANIC 𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐂 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 .
* all starters / lyrics taken from the halsey album manic.
ASHLEY .
‘ but it seems i’m only clingin’ to an idea now . ’
‘ someday when i burst into flames, i’ll leave you the dust, my love . ’
‘ i told you i’d spill my guts . ’
‘ seems like it’s impossible to work this out. ’
‘ is it really that strange if i always wanna change ? ’
‘ it’s gettin’ harder every day, somehow. ’
CLEMENTINE .
‘ the people on the street don’t know my name. ’
‘ i’m constantly having a breakthrough . ’
‘ would you make out with me underneath the shelter of the balcony ? ’
‘ i don’t need anyone, i just need everyone and then some . ’
‘ and with one eye open, well, all i see is you . ’
‘ i know my heart still has a suitcase but i still can’t take it through. ’
GRAVEYARD .
‘ it’s crazy when the thing you love the most is the detriment. ’
‘ i keep digging myself down deeper, i won’t stop ‘till i get where you are . ’
‘ i woulda followed all the way no matter how far. ’
‘ you push right through me . ’
‘ they say i may be making a mistake . ’
‘ it’s funny how the warning signs can feel like they’re butterflies . ’
‘ i would’ve followed all the way to the graveyard . ’
YOU SHOULD BE SAD .
‘ i gotta get it off my chest. ’
‘ you’re not half the man you think that you are . ’
‘ you can’t love nothing unless there’s something in it for you . ’
‘ i tried to help you, it just made you mad . ’
‘ i had no warning about who you are. ’
‘ just glad i made it out without breaking down. ’
‘ i really meant well from the start. ’
‘ i feel so sad . ‘
‘ you should be sad . ‘
FOREVER… (IS A LONG TIME) .
‘ i spent a long time substituting honest with sarcastic . ’
‘ you cut me open, sucked the poison from an aging wound . ’
‘ now fifty thousand war cadets would cower at this small brunette. ’
‘ cause i could never hold a perfect thing and not demolish it . ’
‘ how could somebody ever love me ? ’
DOMINIC’S INTERLUDE .
‘ there’s power in the words you whisper . ’
‘ he treats you so cold and so mindless. ’
‘ your eyes are open when you kiss him . ’
‘ talk to your man, tell him he’s got bad news coming . ’
‘ you can take a chance, come take my hand. ’
I HATE EVERYBODY .
‘ all my empathy’s a disaster . ’
‘ my friends are getting bored of me . ’
‘ i can’t remember anything but thinking you’re the one . ’
‘ i could fall in love with anybody who don’t want me. ’
‘ i’ll keep saying i hate everybody, but maybe i don’t . ’
‘ i know i’ve got a tendency to exaggerate what i’m seeing. ’
‘ i know that it’s unfair of me to make a memory out of a feeling . ’
‘ infatuation is observation with a cost . ’
‘ if i could make you love me, maybe you could make me love me . ’
‘ and if i can’t make you love me, then i’ll just hate everybody . ’
3AM .
‘ think i took it way too far, and i’m stumbling drunk getting in a car. ’
‘ i keep on hanging on the line, ignoring every warning sign. ’
‘ come on and make me feel alright again . ’
‘ i need it digital cause baby when it’s physical i end up alone. ’
‘ it’s 3am, and i’m calling everybody that i know . ’
‘ and would you please pick up the fucking phone ? ’
WITHOUT ME .
‘ i was afraid to leave you on your own . ’
‘ and if they laugh then fuck ‘em all . ’
‘ does it ever get lonely thinkin’ you could live without me ? ’
‘ gave love ‘bout a hundred tries . ’
‘ i got you off your knees, put you right back on your feet just so you could take advantage of me . ’
‘ you don’t have to say just what you did . ’
‘ i had to go and find out from them . ’
FINALLY / BEAUTIFUL STRANGER .
‘ you can come to mine, but both my roommates are home . ’
‘ and i’m terrified, but i can’t resist . ’
‘ beautiful strangers only come along to do me wrong . ’
‘ i think it’s finally, finally, finally safe for me to fall . ’
‘ you stopped me in my tracks and put me right in my place. ’
‘ i used to think that loving was a painful chase. ‘
‘ but you’re right here now and i think you’ll stay, ’
ALANIS’ INTERLUDE .
‘ bit my nails down so they wouldn’t scratch . ’
‘ your pussy is a wonderland . ’
‘ and i have never felt the difference . ’
‘ can’t get caught, so we’re stiller than a statue . ’
‘ bad news, think i’ll probably die before i have you . ’
KILLING BOYS .
‘ told me pick my battles and i’m pickin’ them wise . ’
‘ so we’ll sneak in the back and then we’ll kick in the door. ’
‘ tell me, have you ever keyed a ferrari before ? ’
‘ and i’m not breakin’, i won’t take it . ’
‘ and i won’t ever feel this way again . ’
‘ and i won’t ever try again . ’
‘ ‘cause all i want in return is revenge . ’
‘ ‘cause i don’t need you anymore . ’
SUGA’S INTERLUDE .
‘ i’ve been trying all my life to separate the time in between the having it all and giving it up . ’
‘ self - loathing and pride live in my heart . ’
‘ may my leap not be a fall . ’
‘ never forget that the stars you hope for only appear in the dark . ’
‘ i wonder what’s in store if i don’t love anymore . ’
‘ we are too young to be hesitating, just run right into it . ’
MORE .
‘ nothing grows when a house ain’t a home . ’
‘ lyin’ awake and i stare at the door, i just can’t take it no more . ’
‘ they told me it’s useless, there’s no hope in store . ’
‘ but somehow i just want you more . ’
‘ i cry and my knuckles get sore . ’
‘ and when you decide it’s your time to arrive, i’ve loved you for all my life . ’
‘ somehow i still love you more . ’
STILL LEARNING .
‘ i should be living the dream . ’
‘ and you wouldn’t believe everything that i’ve seen . ’
‘ no one around me knows who i am . ’
‘ i know that i have done some wrong, but i’m trying to make it right . ’
‘ know that i love you but i’m still learning to love myself . ’
‘ but i go home and i got no self-esteem . ’
‘ no man wants to really commit . ’
‘ if i breathe, it’s alright, but some things don’t change . ’
929 .
‘ i can’t remember half the time that i’ve been alive . ’
‘ they said don’t meet your heroes, they’re all fuckin’ weirdos . ’
‘ nobody loves you, they just try to fuck you . ’
‘ and who do you call when it’s late at night ? ’
‘ you gotta promise us that you won’t die, cause we need you . ’
‘ and i’m picking my hair out in clumps in the shower . ’
‘ but then i realized that i’m no higher power . ’
‘ but i wasn’t in love then, and i’m still not now. ’
‘ i think my moral compass is on a vacation. ’
‘ soft and slow, watch the minutes go . ’
