Noah Kahan Sentence Starters Stick Season (We’ll Be Here Forever)
Content Warning For: Suicidal ideations/imagery, mentions of alcohol/drugs, depression/melancholia, mentions of COVID
Northern Attitude:
How you been? Settled down?
How’re your kids?
Where are you?
What does it mean?
Forgive my northern attitude
Stick Season:
I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face
Memories are something even smoking weed does not replace
Doc told me to travel but there's COVID on the planes
I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks
I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
I just like to play the victim
I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad that I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad
I’m no longer funny
My other half was you
I hope this pain’s just passing through 
I doubt it
All My Love:
How have things been?
Well, now that you mention it
I'm saying too much but you know how it gets out here
No winter coat could keep out all the cold of your atmosphere
You got all my love
If you need me dear, I'm the same as I was
You burrowed in under my skin
What I'd give to have you out from me
I just hope that your scars heal
I swear I was scared to death
She Calls Me Back:
Oh, there was heaven in your eyes
Everything’s alright when she calls me back
Look at me and don't you lie
For bullshit I do not have time
Does it bite at your edges?
Do you lie awake restless?
Why am I so obsessive?
This town's the same as you left it
The radio is taunting me
I don't get much sleep most nights
I'm seeing you in every dream
If only I could wake you up
If only I could fall asleep
I'll love you when the oceans dry
I'll love you when the rivers freeze
I was too afraid of living life in your footsteps
Come Over:
I’m in the business of losing your interest
Don't you know there's a coffin buried under the garden?
You won't have to guess who they're speaking about
I'm in the process of clearing out cobwebs
I was taking the wrong meds
It feels good to be sad
I know that it ain’t much
I know that it ain’t cool
You don’t have to tell the other kids at school
Someday I’m gonna be somebody people want
New Perspective:
Silence is making me nostalgic
We were kids but that don't make this less hard
If I could fly I doubt I'd even do it
You made Ohio feel just like Central Park
You and all of your new perspective now
Everywhere, Everything:
It's been a long year
Would we survive in a horror movie?
We trust everyone we meet
I wanna love you 'till we're food for the worms to eat
Keep my hand in yours
Orange Juice: 
Honey, come over
We know you got sober
There's orange juice in the kitchen
It’s yours if you want it
We're just glad you could visit
The last time I drank I was face down passed out there on your lawn
Are we all just crows to you now?
Are we all just pulling you down?
You didn't put those bones in the ground
Strawberry Wine:
Darling speak to me
Remember telling me that you thought you were cursed?
I'm in love with every song you've ever heard
If I could lose you I would
We buried your bones in plywood
I said love is fast asleep on a dirt road with your head on my shoulder
For you, darling, for you
No thing defines a man like love that makes him soft and sentimental like a stranger in the park
For a few moments, I see you
Growing Sideways:
So I took my medication
We argued about Jesus
I said I’m cured
I’m still angry at my parents
But it’s a start
I ignore things
At the end of the day I know there are worse ways to stay alive
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
I guess I’ll drive
So I forgot my medication
Now I’m suffering in style
Why is pain so damn impatient?
It's better to die numb than feel at all
Halloween:
I'm sailing away to a place I'm afraid of
I'm drinking my days with the coastal longshoreman
I drink 'till I drown and I smoke 'till I'm burning
I worry for you
You worry for me
I'm leaving this town and I'm changing my address
I know that you'll come if you want
There's a murder of crows in the low light off Boston
Homesick:
Two months since you got back
Are you bored yet?
The weather ain’t been bad
If you’re into masochistic bullshit
This place is such great motivation for anyone tryna move
Time moves so damn slow
I swear I feel my organs failing
I would leave if only I could find a reason
I'm mean because I grew up in New England
I got dreams but I can't make myself believe them
I’m homesick
Still:
I don’t want to say goodbye
You find love that lasts a while 'till you lose the reasons
You miss something that you can't place but you can't deny it
It's like I'm still here with you
It's a bottomless hole I've found out here with a trace of no one
The View Between Villages:
For a minute the world seems so simple
I’m seventeen again
I am not scared of death
I’ve got dreams again
Your Needs, My Needs:
Oh well, who was I?
Who was I to watch you wilt?
You ain't gotta tell me what it means
You'll always be a flower on my skin
I promise to be there this time
I'm naming the stars in the sky after you
Dial Drunk:
I'm remembering I promised to forget you now
I ain't proud of all the punches that I've thrown in the name of someone I no longer know
I don't like that when they threw me in the car
I gave your name as my emergency phone call
Even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
I’d die for you
The dial tone is all I have
I beg you, sir, just let me call
Let's wait I swear she'll call me back
Son, are you a danger to yourself?
Son, why do you do this to yourself?
Paul Revere:
This place had a heartbeat in its day
The boys are drunk
But it just ain't that simple, it never was
One day I'm gonna cut it clear
I’m not from around here
I'll leave before the road crew's out
Folks just disappear
If I could leave, I would've already left
No Complaints:
Thought I had something
That's the same as having something
I'd get mad at nothing
Blame my dad for something
I'd pull no punches
Thought I was raised better
Hope the skin heals where the pain enters
I set a time, then I showed up
Now the weight of the world ain't so bad
I filled the hole in my head with prescription medication
Who am I to complain?
And now the pain's different
I can finally eat and I can fall asleep
Call Your Mom:
Oh, you’re spiraling again
Don't let this darkness fool you
All lights turned off can be turned on
I’ll drive all night
I’ll call your mom
If you could see yourself like this, you'd have never tried it
Oh dear, don't be discouraged
I've been exactly where you are
Throw a punch, fall in love, give yourself a reason
Don't wanna drive another mile wondering if you're breathing
Won’t you stay with me?
You’re Gonna Go Far:
This is normal conversation, babe, it's all fine
The college kids are getting so young, ain't they?
I got tired of the frat boys with the brights on
"This is good land" or at least it was
Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are
We're overdue for a revival
We spent so long just getting by
You told me you would make a difference

hozier lyrics, unreal unearth edition
❛  your reflection can't offer a word to the bliss of not knowing yourself. ❜
❛  no closer could i be to god or why he would do what he's done. ❜
❛  what you live in, it finds a way to live in you. ❜
❛  your heart has such darkness. ❜
❛  i wanna be gone. i wanna run so far, i'd beat the morning. ❜
❛  before the dawn has come, i'd block the sun if you want it done. ❜
❛  let all time slow. let all light go. ❜
❛  i don't need to know where we begin and end. ❜
❛  i'd still know you, not being shown you. ❜
❛  the first time that you kissed me, i drank dry the river lethe. the liffey would have been softer on my stomach all the same. ❜
❛  some part of me must have died the first time that you called me baby. ❜
❛  some part of me came alive the first time that you called me baby. ❜
❛  these days, i think, i owe my life to flowers that were left here by my mother. ain't that like them? gifting life to you again. ❜
❛  oh, to share the space with simple living things infinitely suffering but fighting off, like all creation, the absence of itself ... but anyway. ❜
❛  some part of me stayed alive each time that you called. ❜
❛  whatever keeps you around, it keeps you around. ❜
❛  when i was young i used to guess, are there limits to any emptiness? ❜
❛  how could you think i'd scare so easily? ❜
❛  my life was a storm since i was born. how could i fear any hurricane? ❜
❛  i would do it again if i could hold you for a minute. ❜
❛  what good would it be on the far side of things? ❜
❛  i would not change it each time. ❜
❛  heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i. ❜
❛  i feel lighter than i have in so much time. ❜
❛  how could i fall when i am lifted by every word you say to me? ❜
❛  if anything could fall at all, it's the world that falls away from me. ❜
❛  if you need to, lean your weight to me. ❜
❛  if we fall, i only pray, don't fall away from me. ❜
❛  i'm starving, darling. let me put my lips to something. ❜
❛  you can't buy this fineness. ❜
❛  we can celebrate the good that we've done. ❜
❛  we had nowhere to go and every desire for going there. ❜
❛  i heard once, it's the comforts that make us feel numb. ❜
❛  it was just our turn being blamed for a world we had no power in. ❜
❛  i haven't felt it since then. i don't know how the feeling ended. ❜
❛  i know being reckless and young is not how the damage gets done. ❜
❛  we knew what our love was worth when we had nothing. ❜
❛  i miss when we did not need much. ❜
❛  you were steering my heart like a wheel in your hands. ❜
❛  all i needed was someone when the whole wide world felt young. ❜
❛  hold me like water or hold me like a knife. ❜
❛  you and i burned out our steam chasing someone else's dream. ❜
❛  how can something be so much heavier but so much less than what it seems? ❜
❛  you only feel it when it's lost. getting through still has its cost. ❜
❛  if there was anyone to ever get through this life with their heart still intact, they didn't do it right. ❜
❛  we didn't get it right but we did our best. ❜
❛  knowing that everything will end should not change our plans. ❜
❛  all things end. ❜
❛  there are some things that no one teaches you that come natural as a dream you didn't know that you were in. ❜
❛  the awful things we do to make the head go quiet. ❜
❛  you may never know your fortune until the distance has been shown between what is lost forever and what can still be known. ❜
❛  i don't wanna be anything but i would do anything just to run away. ❜
❛  go look another way. ❜
❛  look, i wanna be loud. so loud, i'm talking seismic. ❜
❛  i will not be great but i'm grateful to get through. ❜
❛  the memory hurts but does me no harm. ❜
❛  the moment i knew i'd no choice but to love you. ❜
❛  there's a part of me, i'm afraid will always be trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life. ❜
❛  you know, the distance never made a difference to me. ❜
❛  so, i thought you were like an angel to me. ❜
❛  it ain't the being alone. it ain't the empty home. you know i'm good on my own. ❜
❛  so much of the living is the being unknown. ❜
❛  do you know i could break beneath the weight of the goodness i still carry for you? ❜
❛  there are some people who are better unknown. ❜
❛  darkness always finds you either way. ❜
❛  after this, i'm never gonna be the same and i am never going back again. ❜

↪ 𝑫𝑶𝑵'𝑻 𝑺𝑴𝑰𝑳𝑬 𝑨𝑻 𝑴𝑬 . ( a collection of lyric starters from an assortment of billie eilish songs . adjust phrasing as necessary . )
you scared me to death .
there's nothing left to save now .
i don't think i caught your name .
i like it when you take control .
you're sacred and they're starved .
how dare you ? and how could you ?
one of us is gonna lose .
i don't even really know how it happened .
i'm out of sympathy for you .
just let me hold you .
don't talk about me like you might know how i feel .
try not to abuse your power .
i wish someone had told me i'd be doing this by myself .
it's not like me to be so mean .
you just want what you can't have .
would you like me to be quiet ?
i haven't slept since sunday .
i don't want to want you .
it hurts , but i know how to hide it .
i'm the only one who does it how you like .
you better keep your head down .
a lot can change in twenty seconds .
why aren't you scared of me ?
i thought that i was special .
you're looking at me like i'm see-through .
you were a hero , you played the part .
i never really know how to please you .
see what you wanna see .
gold's fake , and real love hurts .
no way , i'll call the cops .
maybe you should leave before i get too mean .
i just wanted to protect you .
you only listen to your fuckin' friends .
they're never gonna give you love like ours .
all you wanna do is kiss me .
don't you know too much already ?
it's weird that we care so much until we don't .
i didn't change my number , i changed who i reply to .
i don't know what feels true .
did you really think this is the right thing to do ?
i would hate to see you go .
i'd never treat me this shitty .
i'll only hurt you if you let me .
you made me feel like it was my fault .
now i know what you are .
i feel more and more like i was made for you .
you wanna kill me ? you wanna hurt me ?
don't try to make me feel bad .
wait , you know what ? maybe just forget it .
was i made from a broken mold ?
you want me to be yours , then you've gotta be mine .
tell me "nothing lasts" , like i don't know .
wait a minute , let me finish .
you know i'm not your friend without some greenery .
my demands aren't high to make .
stop , what the hell are you talking about ?
we both know i'm worth waiting for .
you ruined everything good .
you really know how to make me cry .
your love feels so fake .
i wanna be alone . alone with you , does that make sense ?
spit it out , what is it exactly ?
i'll never let you go .
if we were meant to be , we would've been by now .
you can pretend that you don't miss me .
just fucking leave me alone .
don't say i didn't warn you .
it's pretty cool , right ?
i think i might have fallen in love .
i tried not to upset you .
do you even feel anything ?
don't ask questions , you don't wanna know .
i've been walking through a world gone blind .
i just wanna make you feel okay .
i know you don't care , but can you listen ?
don't you know i'm no good for you ?

&. 𝐡𝐨𝐳𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.
(  lyric  dialogue  prompts  taken  from  various  hozier  songs.  free  to  change  how  you  seem  fit.  )
❛ i’ve walked the earth and there are so few here that know how dark the night and just how cold the wind can blow. ❜
❛ i’ve no more kept my warmth than blood upon the snow. ❜
❛ it’s not my arms that will fail me, but this world takes more strength than it gave me. ❜
❛ the only heaven i’ll be sent to is when i’m alone with you. ❜
❛ i’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies. ❜
❛ i’ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife. ❜
❛ good god, let me give you my life. ❜
❛ so tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes. ❜
❛ every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside. ❜
❛ you knew who i was with every step that i ran to you. ❜
❛ would things be easier if there was a right way? ❜
❛ honey, there is no right way. ❜
❛ i fall in love just a little, a little bit every day with someone new. ❜
❛ when you kill the lights and kiss my eyes, i feel like a person for a moment of my life. ❜
❛ you don’t know what hell you put me through. ❜
❛ there’s something tragic about you. ❜
❛ i have never known peace like the damp grass that yields to me. ❜
❛ i have never known hunger like these insects that feast on me. ❜
❛ i’d be home with you. ❜
❛ there’s nothing sweeter than my baby. ❜
❛ no grave can hold my body down, i’ll crawl home to her. ❜
❛ what did you bury before those hands pulled me from the earth? ❜
❛ i will not ask where you came from. i will not ask and neither should you. ❜
❛ just put your sweet lips on my lips. we should just kiss like real people do. ❜
❛ i know who i am when i’m alone. i’m something else when i see you. ❜
❛ you don’t understand, you should never know, how easy you are to need. ❜
❛ don’t let me in with no intention to keep me. ❜
❛ don’t feed me — i will come back. ❜
❛ i’ve known the warmth of your doorways. through the cold, i’ll find my way back to you. ❜
❛ still my heart is heavy with the hate of some other man’s beliefs. ❜
❛ i need you to run to me, run until you feel your lungs bleeding. ❜
❛ when i was a child, i heard voices... some would sing and some would scream. ❜
❛ i learned the voices died with me. ❜
❛ don’t you ever tame your demons, but always keep ‘em on a leash. ❜
❛ you’ve done me wrong for a long time. but after all you’ve done, i never changed my mind. ❜
❛ honey please, try to love me. my love will never die. ❜
❛ nothing fucks with my baby. ❜
❛ if i was born as a black thorn tree, i’d wanna be felled by you, held by you, fuel the pyre of your enemies. ❜
❛ ain’t it warming you, the world going up in flames? ❜
❛ i couldn’t utter my love when it counted, but i’m singing like a bird about it now.❜
❛ i’m almost me again, she’s almost you. ❜
❛ i’ve had no love like your love. from nobody. ❜
❛ make your good love known to me, or just tell me about your day. ❜
❛ i’d suffer hell if you’d tell me what you’d do to me tonight. ❜
❛ that’s the kinda love i’ve been dreaming of. ❜
❛ i fell in love with the fire long ago. ❜
❛ with each love i cut loose, i was never the same. ❜
❛ i had been lost to you, sunlight, and flew like a moth to you. ❜
❛ know that i would gladly be the icarus to your certainty, oh my sunlight. ❜
❛ i have never loved a darker blue than the darkness i have known in you. ❜

taylor swift // 1989 vault tracks rp lyrics meme.
edit/change pronouns etc as you see fit!
Tumblr media
"slut!"
what if all i need is you?
got love-struck.
got lovesick all over my bed.
love to think you'll never forget.
love thorns all over this rose.
i'll pay the price, you won't.
they might as well be looking at us.
if they call me a slut, you know, it might be worth it for once.
if i'm gonna be drunk i might as well be drunk in love.
everyone wants him.
in a world of boys, he's a gentleman.
you're not saying you're in love with me.
it might blow up in your pretty face.
say don't go.
we're a shot in the darkest dark.
the waiting is a sadness.
fading into madness.
it won't stop.
i'm standing on a tightrope, alone.
i'm holding out hope.
i'm holding out hope for you to say 'don't go'.
i would stay forever.
i would stay forever if you say 'don't go'.
why'd you have to lead me on?
why'd you have to twist the knife?
why'd you have to twist the knife, walk away and leave me bleeding?
why'd you whisper in the dark just to leave me in the night?
your silence has me screaming.
you kiss me and it stops time.
i'm yours, but you're not mine.
you're not there.
i was trying to see the cards that you won't show.
i'm about to fold.
why'd you have to make me want you?
why'd you have to give me nothing back?
why'd you have to make me love you?
i said 'i love you', you say nothing back.
i want you more.
now that we don't talk.
i guess i'll never, ever know now that we don't talk.
it looks like you're trying lives on.
i miss the old ways.
you didn't have to change.
i guess i don't have a say.
the more i gave, you'd want me less.
i can't pretend it's platonic.
it's just ended.
guess maybe i am better off.
the only way back to my dignity was to turn into a shrouded mystery.
guess this is how it has to be.
suburban legends.
all was quickly forgiven.
you were so magnetic.
i didn't come here to make friends.
we were born to be suburban legends.
when you hold me, it holds me together.
you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever.
you'd be more than a chapter in my old diaries.
i can still see you now.
i know that you still remember.
we were born to be national treasures.
i broke my own heart.
i broke my own heart coz you were too polite to do it.
my whole life's ruined.
is it over now?
you still wouldn't go.
you dream of my mouth.
was it over?
is it over now?
your new girl is my clone.
did you think i didn't see you?
at least i had the decency to keep my nights out of sight.
i think about jumping off of very tall somethings.
if she's got blue eyes i will surmise that you'll probably date her.
you search in every model's bed for something greater.

𝐌𝐈𝐃𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒  ( 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐎𝐍𝐄 )
part one of prompts pulled from taylor swift’s newest album, midnights. a few prompts might have been split up to make more sense in a rp sense, but most remain unchanged. enjoy <3
𝐋𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐄
meet me at midnight.
you don't ever say too much.
you don't really read into my melancholia.
i've been under scrutiny.
you handle it beautifully.
all this shit is new to me.
i'm damned if i do give a damn what people say.
all they keep asking me is if i'm gonna be your bride.
the only kinda girl they see is a one-night or a wife.
they're bringing up my history, but you weren't even listening.
you weren't even listening.
talk your talk and go viral.
i just need this love spiral
get it off your chest
get it off my desk.
𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐍
we lost track of time again
how'd we end up on the floor, anyway?
i see you every day now.
how the hell did we lose sight of us again?
ain't that the way shit always ends?
i lost you.
that's a real fucking legacy to leave.
𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐈-𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐎
i have this thing where i get older, but just never wiser.
my depression works the graveyard shift.
i should not be left to my own devices.
i end up in crisis.
i wake up screaming from dreaming.
it’s me… hi.
i'm the problem, it's me.
i'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror.
it must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero.
did you hear my covert narcissism i disguise as altruism?
one day i'll watch as you're leaving, and life will lose all its meaning.
i have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money.
she thinks i left them in the will.
𝐒𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇
life is emotionally abusive.
time can't stop me quite like you did.
my flight was awful, thanks for asking.
i'm unglued, thanks to you.
it's like snow at the beach: weird, but fuckin' beautiful.
you wanting me tonight feels impossible.
this scene feels like what i once saw on a screen.
i've never seen someone lit from within.
to hide that would be so dishonest.
it's fine to fake it till you make it.
i don't even dare to wish it
can this be a real thing? can it?
𝐘𝐎𝐔'𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐎𝐖𝐍, 𝐊𝐈𝐃
i play it cool with the best of them.
he's gonna notice me.
it's okay, we're the best of friends.
i didn't choose this town. i dream of getting out.
there's just one who could make me stay.
i waited ages to see you there.
i picked the petals… he loves me not.
i play my songs in the parking lot.
i'll run away.
i gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this.
the jokes weren't funny.
i took the money
my friends from home don't know what to say.
everything you lose is a step you take.
you've got no reason to be afraid.
you're on your own, kid. you always have been.
you're on your own.
you can face this.

Ashnikko: Halloweenie Starters
Content Warnings For: blood, gore, sexual themes, murder Albums: Halloweenie, Halloweenie 2: Pumpkin Spice, Halloweenie 3: Seven Days, Halloweenie 4: Innards
You've never had a love like me
You've never hit a drug like me
Spank him if he talk a little too sweet
I like the taste of blood in my teeth
Eat dirt, you can kick rocks
You can catch these hands for free
Shut the fuck up
I'm Regina George, everybody wanna be me
Tell him slurp the pussy like a plate of linguine
You know me, queen of Halloween
I'm a ghost in the sheets
I don't need a costume ‘cause I'm already a freak
I'm feeding and you look like meat
I don't feel like myself anymore
I can smell blood and it's trailing out the door
What if I'm rotten, worms eating at my core?
Then I took a nap 'cause being evil's tiresome
I like to wear my human skin outside in disguise
Your mama wants to party
I'm an entity in apparition looking for a host

from i prevail's album, trauma ( 2019 ). slightly modified to fit dialogue prompts. if it's in parentheses, feel free to omit it.
bow down.
get on your knees & bow down.
i come alive, i'll survive, take on anything.
so paint a target on my back, let 'em come to me.
i'm on another level that you'll never reach.
if you seek forgiveness, you'll get nothing from me.
you will never know, it's the price i pay.
look into my eyes, we are not the same.
i'm in control, & you'll know my name.
i gave my life, gave it everything.
the best of your best ain't good enough.
keep running your mouth, & i'ma call your bluff.
so... i had this dream, it meant everything, & i watched it come alive.
i let you in, underneath my skin, & i learned to love the lies.
now i lay awake & i contemplate... have i become what i hate?
would you go to war? would you die for it?
paranoid.
something isn't right, i feel it in my bones.
every time i look around, it follows me home.
i get so stressed out when my head gets loud.
all this emptiness inside, i can't fill the void in my mind.
sometimes i just wanna die (wish that i could tell you why).
is it all inside my head?
i just can't escape the noise.
i think i'm paranoid.
every time you leave.
all i ever wanted was to find someone.
holding it together is the hardest part.
every time you leave, i lose a little piece of me.
every time we speak, words don't do it justice.
it's just us from here.
finishing the puzzle is the hardest part.
everyday wishin' you could stay, 'cause our minds may change, but our hearts remain.
i can't believe you gotta go away again.
if you ever start to hesitate & you feel the weight, it starts to break.
we're not the same; know that this means everything to me.
no one said life gets in the way.
rise above it.
i've been patiently waiting, tying my stomach in knots.
i've been lost in the moment, going to war with my thoughts.
if you're feeling the pressure, the pressure's all that i got.
so if you think you're ready, i'm here to tell you you're not.
you're in over your head.
i'll be damned if i ever let you get me again.
i will stop at nothing 'cause i was made to rise above it.
one of these days, everyone will know (but for now i stand alone).
i count my enemies like trophies.
i've got nothing left to prove.
when i look at you, all i see are trophies.
i'm not afraid to put it all on the line (like it runs in my veins).
you cannot stop me, so don't even try.
breaking down.
i think... i think too much.
i'm a little bit paranoid.
i think i'm breaking (down).
maybe it's in my blood.
hate every single second, minute, hour, every day.
everybody's out to get you.
every time they ask me, i just tell 'em that i'm fine.
i try to hide my demons, but they only multiply.
everybody fucking hates you.
i say i'm feeling hopeless, but no one's listening.
i don't really like myself.
DOA.
on our knees, we pray as we waste away.
we dig our grave, dead on arrival.
i close my eyes & contemplate on why i chose to be great.
i find myself trying to escape from where i'm supposed to be safe.
maybe i should pray like i'm supposed to be saved.
sometimes i feel like getting even, but i choose to behave.
i'm mentally locked in a prison (& i need bail).
i wish i was more flourished. i wish i had more courage.
i wonder if it's all worth it (i wonder...).
dead is the land of the free.
am i not worth saving?
gasoline.
let's burn it fucking down.
back from the dead to tell you that i'm alive.
killed the old way (but i survived).
fuck the blueprint.
death or exile, you decide.
tell 'em all that i made my name.
now it's mine to send up in flames.
this right here is as far as you go.
this right here is where i lose control.
burn it all down, i don't give a fuck.
fuck what they say, fuck everything.
kill it all (kill everything).
nothing but red inside when i close my eyes.
break or bow down, you decide.
tell 'em all that you can't be saved.
tell 'em all that you dug this grave.
learn to live in this mess you made.
hurricane.
tell me i was never good enough.
remind me of the demons that i've been running from.
tell me who the hell you thought i was.
just blame it on the person, the person i've become.
lately, i don't give a fuck.
i can't be myself when i'm with anyone.
(&) maybe, i'm already gone.
i'll never be the same.
it hit me like a hurricane.
i don't know why i drown my mind (in everything they say).
it got the best of me.
tell me that i'm lost inside my mind.
i reach out, but it's pulling me under.
remind me i've been searching for something i won't find.
tell me i was never worth the time.
just blame it on the person you think i left behind.
look into my eyes.
believe me that the storm is coming.
let me be sad.
i'm holding back right now.
('cause) i'm numb to what's around.
i miss the life i used to have (with you right here).
now everything is turning grey.
i'm blacking out the shades for now.
let me be sad.
let me be sad, even for a little while. just a chance to catch my breath.
let me be sad, even for a little while, 'cause it's all that i have left.
can you see it in my eyes, i've been distant?
i can't tell if it's the end or the beginning.
i know i haven't been myself, i'll admit it.
i put up walls so if i burned any bridges, just know i'm doing everything i can to try & fix it (but knowing me i'll probably miss it).
these voices get so vicious.
feels like i'm ripping stitches.
i wish some days i could go back (before life changed, it was so fast).
that time is gone, & i know that (so please, let me be sad).
when all i see are memories, i don't wanna lose a thing.
low.
i'm so damn low.
i can't lie, i'm falling (the floor gave out again).
the walls are caving in.
i've got these voices in my head.
i don't know why i'm broken.
my world is sinking in.
they tell me that i'm not enough.
is it my time?
even when i'm high, i still feel low.
voices in my head won't leave me alone.
i keep falling.
i'm in over my head again.
i'm on my own, i know it.
i think i'm too far gone to save.
i can't let go. i'm holding, i feel it slip away.
the more they say, the more they cut.
i'm hanging by a thread (don't know if i let go).
i'm doing everything i can to fix the problem.
this is how it feels when you hit rock bottom.
deadweight.
i'm cutting out the deadweight.
let me take a second to get this through to you.
it's time you get put in the rearview.
cut ties, there's nothing left to your lies, i'm seeing right through.
let me lay it out so it's clear for you to see.
i'm done with the ones that don't believe.
i'm cutting out the ones who drag me down.
all this negativity weighing down on me.
admit it's so pathetic to think i'd carry you.
i'd rather watch all the lows you sink to.
now i can see what you're really all about.
turn your back & run your mouth.
i laugh at all the time you wasted.
you're bitter, i can fucking taste it.
so if you think that you can drag me down, it's gonna come back around.
keep it up, motherfucker (i'll cut you out).
i don't belong here.
'cause i don't belong here.
those days, it was all i wanted.
nowadays, it feels all the same.
used to stare at my bedroom ceiling wishing everything would change.
now it's hard when you're always searching for the life that you left behind.
time disappears, year after year.
how the hell did i get here?
i feel so far away.
minutes turn to hours & the hours into days.
i gave up everything.
you don't know what you got until you throw it all away.
looking back on the past, all the time i wasted...
i'm running from everyone that tells me that i'm fading out.
must be mistaken 'cause i don't feel anything.
you know i got this brain, it drives me insane.
some days i feel i can't take the pain.
i can't explain it 'cause i don't need anything.

prompts: ttpd, the anthology by taylor swift.
your location, you forgot to turn it off.
the only thing that's left is the manuscript, one last souvenir from my trip to your shores
could it be enough to just float in your orbit?
quick, quick, tell me something awful, like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy.
i just don't understand how you don't miss me.
now and then she rereads the manuscriptof the entire torrid affair.
if you wanna tear my world apart, just say you've always wondered.
if comfort is a construct, i don't believe in good luck.
i move through the world with a broken heart.
they killed cassandra first, 'cause she feared the worst.
don't want money, just someone who wants my company.
say it once again with feeling.
even statues crumble if they're made to wait.
we here-by conduct the post portem.
what doesn't kill you makes you awake.
they tried to warn you about me.
i'm not a doner, but i'd give you my heart if you wanted.
i got cursed like eve got bitten.
i hate it here so i will go to secret gardens in my mind.
i feel so high school every time i look at you.
I look in people's windows like i'm some deranged weirdo.
there wouldn't be this if there hadn't been you.
she wrotе headlines in the local paper, laughing at each baby step i'd take.
one bad seed kills the garden.
when the truth comes out, it's quiet.
you see, i was a debutante in another life.
you have a favorite spot on the swing set.
the empathetic hunger descends.
i'm addicted to the 'if only'.
he said that if the sex was half as good as the conversation was, soon they'd be pushin' strollers. soon it was over.
oh, we must stop meeting like this.
way to go, tiger.
i built a legacy that you can't undo.
you said some things that i can't unabsorb, you turned me into an idea of sorts.
i may never open up the way i did for you.
he was a cad, wanted her bad just like any good trophy hunter.
tell me about the first time you saw me.
they knew, they knew, they knew the whole time.
i don't think you've changed much.
you have no room in your dreams for regrets.
they set my life in flames.
i thought it was just goodbye for now.
i loved you the way that you were.
you're a just ruler covered in mud, you look ridiculous.
i'm there most of the year, 'cause i hate it here.
you saw my bones out with somebody new who seemed like he would've bullied you in school.
how did it end? i can't pretend like i understand.
this place made me feel worthless.
i wanna find you in a crowd, just to hide from you.
quick, quick. tell me something awful.
i won't confess that i waited, but i let the lamp burn.
i can't forgive the way you made me feel.
Buried down deep
out of your reach the secret we all vowed to keep it from you in sweetness.
splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless.
old habits die screaming.
i'm lonely, but i'm good.
in my fantasies, i rise about it.
forgive me, [name], please know that i tried.
if i sell my apartment and you have some kids with an internet starlet. will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon?
behind her back, her best mates laughed.
you needed me, but you needed drugs more, and i can't watch it happen.
she's the albatross, she is here to destroy you.
i'll tell you one thing, honey. i can tell when somebody still wants me.
were you makin' fun of me?
nostalgia is a mind's trick.
i read about it in a book when I was a precocious child.
does it feel alright to now know me?
excellent fun 'til you get to know her.
life was always easier on you.
tell me all your secrets, all you'll ever be.
it wasn't a fair fight.
if i die screaming, i hope you hear it.
i can confirm she made a curious child, ever reviled by everyone except her own father.
are you gonna marry, kiss or kill me?
i'm bitter, but i swear i'm fine.
all that time you were throwin' punches, i was buildin' somethin'.
one less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen.
i'm hearing voices like a madman.
you said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me.
but i can't forget the way you made me heal.
they nicknamed her 'the bolter'.
wise men once said 'wild winds are death to the candle'.
now i wanna sell my house and set fire to all my clothes.
i'm gonna get you back.
push the reset button, we're becomin' something new.
i'm watchin' american pie with you on a saturday night.
i'm an aston martin that you steered straight into the ditch.
