some of these are from kate's perspective, some from sev's (or well, my take on their dynamic that could v much be Wrong) i've definitely been thinking about them way too much...
take what you want [can you hear me? I'm trying to hear you / silence strikes like a hurricane / i'm singing for you, you're screaming at me / it's hard to see your tears in the pouring rain]
pretty venom [i rot my brain, getting high on our history / always know I'll be the one you'd sink your teeth into / never thought I'd taste as good to anyone but you]
all i wanted [i could follow you to the beginning / just to relive the start / and maybe then we'd remember to slow down / at all of our favorite parts]
this is me trying [ it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound / it's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you / you're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town]
let me let you go [someone else good as you / look what I put you through / i know i can't undo this / i'm black and blue to tell the truth / it's breaking me, i'm not just losing you / i'm losing what you saw in me / why'd you let me let you go?]
twin size mattress [make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face / there are lessons to be learned, consequences for all the stupid things i say / and it is no big surprise you turned out this way / the spark in her eyes, the look on your face / i will not be late / i'm sure that we could find something for you to do on stage / maybe shake a tambourine or when i sing you sing harmonies]
the cut that always bleeds [ say you loved me all along / and kissed the bruises 'til they're gone / bittersweet, 'cause i can't breathe / inside your arms]
feel better [ no one's ever gonna love me like that again / i don't wanna get over it / i wanna rip the stars to shreds]
lost in the thick of it [i tried to salvage, left it alone / won't make it better, i could never do it all / i'm good for a little bit but i, get lost in the thick of it / i hate to say that I'm wrong / feels better playing along / hoping you don't notice it when i'm just a bit low-spirited]
shame [ maybe i'm living in the past / who am i to judge / i'm the worst of all / some things are better left unsaid / but i miss the person i knew before]
like you do [if you ever go / all the songs that we like / will sound like bittersweet lullabies]
save your tears [you could've asked me why i broke your heart / you could've told me that you fell apart / but you walked past me like i wasn't there / and just pretended like you didn't care]
headline [if you got in my head / you wouldn't be scared of what you'd find / you used to read me like a headline / oh, that's the reason now you're not mine anymore]
last kiss [so i'll watch your life in pictures like i used to watch you sleep / and i feel you forget me like i used to feel you breathe / and i'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are]
and uh more ig i'm too lazy to write down all those lyrics
if someone asked how my sunday is going i would not tell that i just spent half an hour writing heavily religious lyrics for 30 cents to my name, an indie song kate wrote a few months after seven left inspired by judas' 30 pieces of silver—
I always reblog this amazing piece of art work every time l see it JanewaySeven The Borg Queen Dark Frontier by PEGD illustrations frightening and beautiful.
"Janeway is given a blessing in the form of a half-human, half-Borg, very beautiful girl, who we call Seven of Nine. So, I am taught vulnerability. I am taught my limitations. I am taught how small I am, in the face of this kind of possible love. Seven of Nine is what brought Janeway to life, as a deeply human woman... and I am deeply grateful for that" - KATE MULGREW

i love love love kate losing respect for gina as their previous 'icon/idol' 👁️ because it's not about, the general personal issues gina might have; kate isn't naive, they obviously expected gina to be different irl and already have a level of understanding of how detrimental fame can be (especially with gina being under the spotlight ever since her teens). so all the drinking, using, irresponsible and reckless behaviours, self-sabotaging, those don't really bother them because they sort of expected the reality behind the curtain to be like that and they can empathize with that. but then they see victoria hurting, and gina persisting in those behaviours and not trying to change, not even for vic's sake, and they just,,,, it changes their view of gina completely to the point where they still of course respect her as an artist but frankly dislike her as a person. all because they can't move on from how they hurt seven and they promised themself they never would again so seeing gina so static about her own relationship issues just bothers them 😭
