"The best liar told a lie inside a room full of liars
The lie was so exciting that all of the liars admired
When the truth walked in the building every liar retired
Deception was defeated and deceit became deleted"
Pharoahe Monch, Bad M.F.3 -
what a beautiful face
i have found in this place
that is circling round the sun
what a beautiful dream
that could flash in the screen
in the blink of an eye
and be gone from me

I do it for the joy it brings ‘cause I am a joyful girl
-Ani DiFranco1 -
Listen in it isn't when you're talking for your name's sake
Jesus, Mary Magdalene you are, are you okay?
Sitting by the well, Jill, your falling down the hill, Jack
And everybody laughed
Don't you pray? Don't you pray?
To a Cocaine Jesus in a black four-seater
Got a man, don't need him, but you wait
Call me when you want, or just call me when you need it
If you only ever need it for the day
High won't hold, won't hold, and I have no more
Than all you left of me
I have, I have, I have no more
Than all you leave2 -
“..And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun..”5 -
Give the past a slip
Step on a crack
Break your mama's back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it
When something's going wrong
You must whip it
Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Whip it good

“ Like a little splinter buried in your skin
Someone else can carve it out, but when you've got the pin
It hurts a little less and you can even push it further in
When your body's screaming out, trust your mind's listening
Like a silhouette that you can barely see
As a shadow cast upon the ground, where you'll eventually
Lay forever, but the day goes on, the sun moves behind you
You get taller, bolder, stronger and the rearview only blinds you”
Twenty One Pilots-Choker4 -
when you punish a person for dreaming their dreams
dont expect them to thank or forgive you
the best ever death metal band out of Denton
will in time outpace and outlive you
hail satan 🤘🏻

Keep in mind that a man's just as good as his word
It takes twice as long to build bridges you've burnt
And there's hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Tyler Childers - nose on the grindstone4 -
“..let me be the wallpaper that
papers up your room..”
alt-J Every Other Freckle4 -
I feel like a suit of second-hand armor
I can protect you but may never wear a shine
And every time you see me, you know I'll be there when you need me
Never thinking of the dead man left inside
Pay no mind to the dead man left inside
The mulligan bros5 -

Remember the moment you know exactly where you're going
'Cause the next moment, before you know it
Time is slowing and it's frozen still
And the window sill looks really nice, right?
You think twice about your life, it probably happens at night, right?
Fight it, take the pain, ignite it
Tie a noose around your mind, loose enough to breathe fine and tie it
To a tree, tell it, "You belong to me
This ain't a noose, this is a leash
And I have news for you, you must obey me"
Holding on to you- tøp3 -

I’m just your satellite”

“The problems in hand
Are lighter than at heart”
Little Acorns - The White Stripes1 -
Pretty much the entire song, King's Crossing by Elliott Smith...I know the lyrics off by heart. It's a very cinematic dirge and he creates such vivid imagery with his lyrics, couple with the haunting instrumental, it's an experience.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmoPKlWDKRE
The king's crossing is the main attraction
Dominoes are falling in a chain reaction
The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
Whiskey works better than beer
The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final
And nobody gets a reprieve
And every wave is tidal - if you hang around
You're going to get wet
I can't prepare for death any more than I already have
All you can do now is watch the shells
The game looks easy that's why it sells
Frustrated fireworks inside your head
Are going to stand and deliver talk instead
The method acting that pays my bills
Keeps a fat man feeding in Beverly Hills
I got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity
And I get my check from the trash treasury
Because I took my own insides out
It don't matter ‘cause I have no sex life
All I want to do now is inject my ex wife
I've seen the movie and I know what happens
It's Christmas time
And the needles on the tree
A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
His voice is overwhelming, but his speech is slurred
And I only understand every other word
Open your parachute and grab your gun
Falling down like an omen, a setting sun
Read the part and return at five
It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
But I don't care if I *kitten* up
I'm going on a date with a rich white lady
Ain't life great?
Give me one good reason not to do it
(because I love you)
So do it
This is the place where time reverses
Dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
Instruments shine on a silver tray
Don't let me get carried away
Don't let me get carried away
Don't let me be carried away
Fireworks by Mitski is also another song, similar reasons to Elliott's song. Its a very accurate portrayal of depression imo. It gives me that tingly feeling in my chest.

One morning, this sadness will fossilize
And I will forget how to cry
I'll keep going to work, and you won't see a change
Save, perhaps, a slight gray in my eye
I will go jogging routinely
Calmly and rhythmically run
And when I find that a knife's sticking out of my side
I'll pull it out without questioning why
Also, another... Alvvays - In Undertow... the way it's written is pretty clever..and her...skepticism kinda resonates with me. It sounds sombre but actually its overall message is a positive one, Moving on... yada yada. That band is massively underrated
Particular the line,
"When you get old and faded out will you want your friends?"

“I’m breaking my teeth off
tryin’ to bite my lip
There’s all kinds of red headed women
I ain’t supposed to kiss
It’s that color which never fails
to turn me blue
So I just swallow it
and hold onto it
And use it
to scare the hell outta you”
300 MPH Torrential Outpour Blues
The White Stripes2 -
I love this SOOOO MUCH!!!! 😭 ❤️2

“My girl, she feel the same
And dudes used to laugh at her
Now they wonder how she doin'
Ask her, I'd be flattered
Her brain's been gettin' bigger
*kitten* been gettin' fatter, yeah”
Thrivin- Ryan Caraveo2 -
“Kiss me I'm the monster that you made, yeah you made me
Now I'm just like you so don't complain, yeah you made me
Do the things you like hoping you'd stay, okay
Kiss me I'm the monster that you made, you made me”
Do You Love Her?- Jessie Reyez3 -
I can’t tell you how many ways that I’ve sat and viewed my life today
But I can tell you
I don’t think that I can find an easier way
So if I see you - walking hand in hand in hand with a three armed man -
I’ll understand-
But you shoulda been in my shoes yesterday-
Blind melon - St Andrews Fall2 -
you look so pretty
with your seven faces
and ten rusty horns2 -
And I’m measuring my minutes on a clock that’s blinking 8’s -

"You got a way with words
You take away the hurt
And it's a blessing and a curse to feel it all
You got a way with me
You put me in my place when I'm petty
Give me what I want when I'm ready
You always hold it down
Anybody else I'd be gone by now
Does it really matter? All that really matters
Second I'm with you, all my love pour out
Serve it on a platter, all that really matters
All that really matters is
You keep showing up"...3 -
"Rising like the smoke
You linger on me
You got me so high
I can finally breathe
You're walking poetry
It's what you do to me
It's what you do to me
Touch me with no hands
Hold me with your eyes
Unwind me with your mind tonight
Speak with no words
Show me and I'm all yours
Show me and I'm all yours"4 -
“So I guess I'll go home
Into the arms of the girl that I love
The only love I haven't screwed up
She's so hard to please, but she's a forest fire
I do my best to meet her demands, play at romance, we slow dance
In the living room, but all that a stranger would see
Is one girl swaying alone, stroking her cheek”
Lorde-Liability

May the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young4 -
Well, I won't make you tell me
What I've come to understand
You're a certain kind of woman
I'm a different kind of man
I've tried to make you love me
You've tried to find a spark
Of the flame that burned but somehow turned to
Smoke rings in the dark
The loneliness within me
Takes a heavy toll
'Cause it burns as slow as whiskey
Through an empty achin' soul
And the night is like a dagger
Long and cold and sharp
As I sit here on the front steps
Blowin' smoke rings in the dark4
