All starters are lyrics taken from the album So Much (For) Stardust by the band Fall Out Boy, released March 24, 2023. Please feel free to change as you see fit. ( Seeing as I’ve made this meme the day this album came out, some lyrics may be incorrect. My apologies! )
“You know I’m dying out here.”
“What would you trade the pain for?”
“You were the sunshine of my lifetime.”
“I’d never go, I just want to be invited.”
“Sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse.”
“Every lover’s got a little dagger in their hand.”
“Nowhere left for us to go but Heaven.”
“Give up what you love before it does you in…”
“No matter what they tell you, the future’s up for grabs.”
“Is there a word for bad miracle?”
“Nobody said the road was endless.”
“Could we please pretend this won’t end?”
“We could cry a little? Cry a lot?”
“We could dance our tears away, emancipate ourselves.”
“When you ask how I’ve been, I know you mean well.”
“I guess I’m getting older ‘cause I’m less pissed.”
“Silent killers are these years coming like waves.”
“You put the ‘fun’ into dysfunction.”
“The world is always spinning, and I can’t keep up.”
“Part-time soulmate, full-time problem.”
“I guess, somehow, we made it back.”
“I am a diamond on the inside, just add the pressure!”
“I thought I knew better, I thought it would get better.”
“I figured somehow by now, I would have got it together.”
“We’ll do more than just get by.”
“Make no plans and none can be broken.”
“Do you laugh about me whenever I leave?”
“Do I just need more therapy?”
“Love is in the air, I just gotta figure out a window to break out.”
“My mood board is just pictures of you.”
“We did it for futures that never came and for pasts that we’re never gonna change.”
“Kiss my cheek, baby, please.”
“Would you read my eulogy?”
“I will never ask you for anything — except to dream sweet of me.”
“I will never ask you for anything.”
“Tell me when the party ends.”
“Will you still love who I am?”
“They don’t know how much they’ll miss.”
“Save your breath; half your life you’ve been hooked on death!”
“Be careful what you bottle up.”
“I’m saving this all for later.”
“We’ll drive until the engine just gives up.”
“I know I’ve made mistakes, but at least they were mine to make.”
“I’ll be whatever you need me to be.”
“I cut myself down to whatever you need me to be.”
“There’s no point to any of this, it’s all just a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes.”
“I take pleasure in the detail, you know, a, a Quarter Pounder with cheese? Those are good.”
“I like playing dumb, letting you figure me out.”
“I was faded, in my own defense.”
“We got to throw this year away.”
“The trumpets bring the angels, but they never came.”
“I know I keep my feelings so tucked away.”
“Just another day spent hoping we don’t fall apart.”
“Let’s twist the knife again like we did last summer.”
“I guess to you now, I’m just a face in the crowd.”
“Oh, God, kindly please, would you kill me now?”
“Carved out a place in this world for two, but it’s empty without you.”
“I’ve got all this love I’ve got to keep to myself.”
“All this effort to make it look effortless.”
“I can’t be who you need me to be.”
“Every candle’s gotta run out of wax.”
“Time is luck, and I wish ours overlapped more.”
“The first time I took the mask off, just had another one on underneath.”
“I’m just melted wax on a birthday cake, another year fades away.”
“If you want a job done right, you gotta do it yourself.”
“What is there between us, if not a little annihilation?”
The Kintsugi Kid (Ten Years)
“I’m pretty sure, as far as humans go, I am a hard pill to swallow.”
“I spent ten years in a bit of chemical haze and I miss the way that I felt nothing.”
“Passed my old street, the house I grew up in. It breaks your heart.”
“Four of the Ramones are dead.”
“And I miss the way that I felt nothing.”
“You don’t know me anymore.”
“That’s the way the world used to be before our dreams started bursting at the seams.”
“I don’t care if it’s pretty.”
“The view’s so pretty from the deck of a sinking ship.”
“Everything is lit except my serotonin.”
“Please, I just need someone to hold me.”
“Oh, what a time to be alive.”
“They say that I should try meditation, but I don’t want to be with my own thoughts.”
“I just want to be your cherry on top.”
“when I said ‘leave me alone’ this isn’t quite what I meant.”
“I feel like something that’s been stretched out, over and over again.”
“I don’t have the guts to keep it together.”
“Life is just a game, maybe.”
“I’m stuck in a lonely loop.”
“I need the sound of crowds, or I can’t fall asleep at night.”
“Another year of possibilities left unwrapped like gifts the day right after Christmas passed.”
“I’m pretty positive my pain isn’t cool enough.”
“I think I’ve been going through it.”
“In another life, you were the sunshine of my lifetime.”
“I used to be a real go-getter.”
“I used to think it’d all get better.”
“We thought we had it all.”
