i haven’t had time or focus to be on here as much as i’d like   ,   so i think i will move john to my multi @artistiqued for a bit until i can get out of my small writer’s block. i doubt he’ll be there for long   ,   but just for now   !   all drafts   &   things will continue on the multi   !

My name is John Constantine. I’m the one who steps from the shadows all trenchcoat and arrogance. I’ll drive your demons away, kick ‘em in the bollocks and spit on them when they’re down. Leaving only a nod and a wink and a wisecrack. I walk my path alone, because let’s be honest… who’d be crazy enough to walk it with me?

@cynicalarse​​ said   :    “  what are you gonna do about it?  ”

night is nearing     ,     as it always does when they cross the threshold towards the living      -     this time with raven hair and their usually sharp eyes    ,    dressed in soft lines and bold colours     ,    something that seems as modern as the place they let themselves drop into       -      and they are shimmering as strongly as the sun breaking the surface of the night before making way for them .    twilight is not yet near      ,      but he is about to take over     ,     and dammer does not have much more usage for hanging around pesky humans as they are .     it is always easier to do these things together with the moon    ,    even with their newest aforementioned addition     ,      but it also takes longer .   and the human they have met seems to be in line with the moon’s own intense streak of being as annoying as possible .    the hare scratching evening’s feet seems to agree before it evaporates into the dimming air .      “   shouldn’t i ask you this instead?     well    ,    what are you going to do about it then     ,    human?    you have too much grip on the darkness .    it will swallow you whole    ,     if you don’t go looking for some light .   but you like to play    ….    police instead    ,    is that it?  whatever it is exactly you seem to be doing .    ”    tilting their head    ,    they wonder what the rest seems to see in this guy .    he is certainly no saviour material    ,    not that any of the entities dammer counts himself to would need one like this .   they would surpass and withstand anything     ,     par the course .    “    i am not here to meddle    ,    though .    just to see .    have fun with your little stint .   ”

there is no shock or awe in being in the presence of a non - human being   ,   smoke forming around john’s head like a mock halo of sorts as he continues to smoke   ━━   half - lidded   ,   almost disinterested eyes looking up to meet the other’s gaze. their response really isn’t much of a surprise to him either   ,   as he’s met several beings who refuse to help with the incoming evil that seems to loom over the earth like a growing shadow   ,   one that will consume them whole if no one is to step in   &   stop it. it’s always about rules or something stupid like that   ,   already having had enough of an earful from a certain damn ange who clearly could make a difference if only he’d just get off of his ass. nonetheless   ,   the demonologist knows better than to depend on anyone for help   ,   human or not. this is a fight he was unfortunately thrown into   ,   but it is one he will gladly venture into   ,   if it means atoning for his sins   . . .   atoning for what he did to poor astra logue. 𝒐𝒉 𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂   ,   𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒑𝒐𝒐𝒓   ,   𝒑𝒐𝒐𝒓 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍. the hare that disappears from sight does earn a little chuckle of amusement from his lips if only briefly   ,   fingers taking the cigarette   &   dropping it onto the ground   ,   his foot soon to follow as he stops the flame from growing. john realizes it isn’t smart of him to test the patience of the evening when they can clearly overpower him   ,   but he himself had already lost all of his patience ages ago   . . .   if they honestly wanted to do something   ,   they would have.   ❝   fucking celestials   ,   ❞   he mutters softly   ,   gaze unwavering.   ❝   that’s all your good for   ,   isn’t it   ?   watching what we humans do rather than lend a hand or intervene when you know bloody well you could prevent some awful things from happening.   ❞   the evening has no real reason to involve itself in the battle between good   &   evil   ━━   john is well aware of this   ,   but he’s much too frustrated with everything to hold back now   &   the evening happens to be the only person being he can take out his anger on.   ❝   darkness came into my life when i was young. it was a world far better than the one i was living as a boy. you know   . . .   the evening was never my favorite time of day   ,   especially after my sister cheryl left. dad would come home from the pub just before i’d lay my head   ,   just in time to remind me of how much he disliked me   ,   how i am the reason why my mother isn’t alive.   ❞   hands dig into his pockets   ,   searching for another cigarette   . . .   something   ,   anything to distract from the obvious pain that seeps into his tone   ,   if only briefly.   ❝   i had no one to help me then   ,   so i’m not at all surprised no one will help me now. you won’t lend a hand   ,   but you think you can use us as a means of entertainment   ?   fuck off. chase the morning for all i care   . . .   light is what this world needs more than anything. i would think you of all beings would understand how important that is to some.   ❞

@cynicalarse sent:  i was sleeping.

          somehow the statement only serves to creep further under her skin, earning him an even deeper scowl  -  at least for a moment.       it’s been quite a significant time since she’d seen john constantine  -  perhaps too long, if they were indeed different people than they are.  but john wanders and shoshana distances, and they always knew what it   was   between them  -  although, to be frank, she’d always expected he’d darken her doorstep again one day, even if she can’t put her finger on exactly  why.  still, the manner of his appearance surprised her to some degree, although now she scolds herself for it  -  although she’s certainly not sorry for pitching a pillow at his head upon finding him sprawled out on her couch upon her return from a night spent at her brother’s.  her mouth pulls down at the corners as she moves into her small kitchen to put the kettle on, though her eyes don’t leave him on the sofa even so.   ❛   yes, john, I have   eyes,   thank you,   ❜   she answers tightly, quickly, as she retrieves her french press and two mugs  -  despite her better judgment.   (  she isn’t the sentimental sort, but she supposes she can spare a thought for an old fling, even though she’s well out of college now, well out of the period of life when they were together ;  besides, nothing had ever come with expectations between them.  )   ❛   and what the hell  are  you doing, sleeping on my couch?  if you wanted to get my attention for some reason, you could have just   called.   will you ever learn  subtlety ?   ❜

scandal sentence starters.

the pillow tossed at his head was most certainly well merited   &   even welcomed in a strange way   ━━   he’s had far worse things thrown at him in the past. of course   ,   the demonologist never could have imagined shoshana sommerfeld doing anything bad to him even if she thought of doing so in her head   ,   his deduction correct as she begins to move to make coffee for the two of them   (   cunning grin grows as he spots the second mug   )   ,   still clearly annoyed with him   ,   though who could blame her   ?   𝒊 𝒂𝒎 𝒂 𝒏𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒍𝒍   ━━   it merely comes with the territory of what he does. arms take a long stretch over his head before finally removing the tossed pillow from his face   ,   thin legs also stretching out before finally sitting upright in a cross - legged position  ,   blue eyes watching shoshana brew coffee in the kitchen   ,   as well as taking in the great view that was her always fantastically trim body. 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒏’𝒕 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒅 𝒂 𝒃𝒊𝒕. romance for john constantine isn’t really in the cards with the life he chooses to lead   ,   but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t cherish the flings he’s had   ,   some of which are more memorable (   or terrifying   )   than others. sho was a unique woman in that she shared the same desire that he did when they first met that night at an old college frat years ago   ━━   nothing serious   ,   no strings attached   ,   no relationship. it’s always better when things don’t need to get complicated   &   two adults can just enjoy the thrill of the casual affair   ,   &   indeed they did   ,   so much so that he thinks of her fondly every now   &  then over the years. it’s perhaps the reason why he decided to trespass visit her out of all his connections here in new york city. that   &   she probably was the only one who wouldn’t kick him out at the mere sight of his ugly mug.   ❝   if i remember correctly   ,   it was my inability to be subtle that made you want to shag me all the time.   ❞   john grinned   ,   remembering the attire he once used to wear when he spent time with sho years ago. tight shirts   ,   ripped jeans   ,   leather jackets   . . .   not the pinnacle of fashion   ,   but he thinks he pulled it off well. 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓.   ❝   obviously i startled you with my surprise visit. dreadfully sorry about that   ,   luv. bit of trouble is brewing around here   &   i’m on my way to figure out just exactly what it is. bit low on funds   ,   so i needed a place to stay for the night. figured you of all people wouldn’t turn away an old friend.   ❞

spicy au idea: set in the 1920s, john is a stage magician who's act isn't just smoke & mirrors. has an assistant who helps keep the illusion that he's just a showman, but they have a rival magician who wants to top them in popularity.

❝   a bit early to flirt   ,   isn’t it   ?   ❞   ━━   @caspers​

the magician’s smile is all sharp teeth   &   amusement flashed in his direction   ━━   a façade of innocence washing over as he leans against the doorframe   ,   as if his actions weren’t intentional   . . .   as if he didn’t just get caught red - handed.    [   fuckin’ bloodsuckers   . . .   always had nasty run ins with the lot of them   ,   but one can’t deny the allure   ,   the danger that comes with being so close. that   &   it helps this particular one happens to be easy on the eyes. they say don’t mix with work with pleasure   ,   as it’s bad for business   &   it never tends to end in anyone’s favor. well   ,   if anyone knew me well enough   ,   they’d know i’m not one for following any rules to the letter.   ].

❝   come now   ,   sunshine. we’re merely talking. nothing wrong with a little playful banter between us   ,   now is there   ?   ❞   casual steps are taken as he makes his way toward where the undead creature stood   ,   well aware of the game he plays   &   how dangerous of a line he treads. course   ,   nothing seems to phase the magician at this point in his life.   [   i’ve duked it out with the king of vampires himself   &   lived to tell the tale   . . .   if i’m going to meet my maker   ,   it certainly won’t be with this bloke   ].   ❝   now keep your fat head in check   &   let’s focus on the matter at hand   ,   shall we   ?   ❞   ignoring the fact that he was the reason for the pause in their meeting   ,   john continues to move forward   ,   icy gaze meeting the others   ,   not at all intimidated by the height he has over him.  truly he could knock him off his feet if he were feeling up to it   ,   but john wagers he won’t.   [   let’s hope i don’t lose that bet   ].   ❝   have you been noticing any odd goings on in your travels   ?   anything unusual   ?   ❞   the rising darkness   . . .   it approaches   ,   but when it will   ,   is still left to be unsaid.

❝   i may be somewhat used to seeing bad omens by now   ,   but that   …   well   ,   let’s just say it’s badder than most.   ❞   ━━   @daringdarling​

twin lakes   ━━   a seemingly boring   ,   ordinary town on the outside   ,   but what lies deep within it’s dismal streets lurks something darker   ,   the energy of other worldly forces at play easy to sense the moment the magician stepped foot into county lines. it’s not a surprise to him. in fact   ,   he wouldn’t be here if the map hadn’t directed him this way   ,   the town just another marker in his journey searching for places with trouble brewing   ,   determined to quell it before it begins   ,   or get worse in some unfortunate cases. meeting people who perhaps aren’t quite used to the world he has become strangely accustomed to is not at all uncommon   ,   but it does bring a sense of small amusement to his face as they try to decipher what it is they saw   ,   as if almost in a trance   ,   still unsure what was reality   &   what may still be a dream. perhaps   ,   even hopeful that that’s all it was. 

unfortunately for this sorry sod of a detective   ,   there is more at hand than what he bargained for   ,   &   it will take more than his clever hand at solving cases to seal this story up all nice   &   tight   ,   &   with a happy ending to boot. lucky for him   ,   the goings on in this town have piqued the magician’s interest   ,   curious if there is a tie to the rising darkness that’s been slowly spilling across the states   ━━   perhaps they could help one another.   ❝   hate to break it to you squire   ,   but that’s more than just a bad omen you feel crawling on your back.   ❞   a devilish grin is flashed at the detective   ,   a silk cut cigarette balanced well at the corner of his lip   ,   smoke surrounding his head like a mock halo. saint johnny   ,   come to square up against the forces of evil to atone for his sins   . . .   it never ends.   ❝   i’m here to stop trouble before it begins. something bad is coming   ,   far worse than just your average bad omen   ,   &   i’ll need your knowledge of these streets   &   it’s history to keep this town   &   it’s civilians safe. but first   . . .   ❞   the magician removes the cigarette out of his mouth   ,   blowing it up into the dark chill of the evening.   ❝   be a good man   &   direct me to the nearest bed   &   breakfast. one shouldn’t go after demons on an empty stomach   &   i am famished.   ❞

❞ ❝  …oops, someone heard me singing…badly.  ❞ ❝  you look like you’re pretty good with a bow and sword, so you must be pretty strong.  ❞ ❝  i don’t know what it is about men. constantly worrying…  ❞ ❝  yeah, yeah. i’m still alive. it’s fine—don’t worry.  ❞ ❝  what are you doing up so late? monsters roam about at night. it’s way too dangerous to wander around.  ❞ ❝  thinking back on it, it’s a wonder either of us survived the trip…  ❞ ❝  i’ll take any monster in a fair fight. it’s another story when they cheat and catch you by surprise.  ❞ ❝  i wish this rain would take a hint and lay off for a while.  ❞ ❝  if you haven’t slept yet, you really should…staying up late can’t be great for your health.  ❞ ❝  you want to get out of my personal space or what?  ❞ ❝  money and life are all as one to me.  ❞ ❝  what do you think of my lipstick? i think it’ll bring me good luck!  ❞ ❝  i do hope my bluntness has not offended you.  ❞ ❝  i have no right to ask this of you…but i am powerless here.  ❞ ❝  truth is, i just got lucky.  ❞ ❝  i hope that ours will be a long and profitable relationship.  ❞ ❝  i may be somewhat used to seeing bad omens by now, but that…well, let’s just say it’s badder than most.  ❞ ❝  why the long face? i bet i could guess.  ❞ ❝  i’m not about to give this information away for free. i’m no fool.  ❞ ❝  seeing you brings me great joy. i bet you have that effect on everyone.  ❞ ❝  it is a shame us two never had the chance to see what might have been…  ❞ ❝  what does it matter? that’s all in the past.  ❞ ❝  you know what that means, don’t you? the end is here.  ❞ ❝  oh no, there i go again, just talking with no purpose. i get carried away and just don’t know when to quit.  ❞ ❝  i somehow managed to escape into the nearby woods.  ❞ ❝  let’s wish each other good luck, eh? we’ll need it.  ❞ ❝  i was so sure that was the end for me. i was prepared for the worst.  ❞ ❝  take it easy? and let a rumor like this go to waste? nah, i gotta go big…  ❞ ❝  what are you doing, sneaking up on me like that? you scared me!  ❞ ❝  when you get to my age, you start reminiscing about all the memories from your childhood.  ❞ ❝  now that i’ve met you, some of the excitement’s gone.  ❞ ❝  i get the feeling you’re going to end up doing even better in this world. that’s the feeling i get when i look at your face.  ❞ ❝  you seem harmless enough. forgive me, i’ve just been on edge with all these monsters running around.  ❞ ❝  well, that’s life for you, with all its twists and turns. i hope you’ll stick with me through them.  ❞ ❝  nice baby sword, pal. i bet it can’t even keep a flame going.  ❞ ❝  with how peaceful it is around here, it’s sometimes easy to forget that the world almost ended years ago.  ❞ ❝  that doesn’t reflect well on your upbringing at all…  ❞ ❝  even the areas near civilization are full of monsters these days.  ❞ ❝  may the gods smile upon you.  ❞ ❝  i’m sorry, but i seem to have twisted my ankle…  ❞ ❝  that would mean you are…no, it’s not possible. can it be?  ❞ ❝  you’d better remember my name, for it’s not the last you’ll hear of it!  ❞ ❝  i’m sorry if we got off on the wrong foot. uh…that’s all…  ❞ ❝  i can tell you’ve trained your body well.  ❞ ❝  who are you?! be on your way, you…suspicious person!  ❞ ❝  i’m so shocked i don’t know if i’ll ever be able to fully recover from this.  ❞ ❝  no matter. i’m just happy you’re still in one piece.  ❞ ❝  ha ha…did you think i’d deceived you?  ❞ ❝  don’t lie. i know just what’s going on. liars like you deserve to be punished!  ❞ ❝  it is finally time for me to tell you everything.  ❞ ❝  s.  ❞ ❝  a dealer in life and power…that was me, once.  ❞ ❝  i’m sorry. that wasn’t very nice of me at all…  ❞ ❝  ahhhh…so there are some who still pay me homage.  ❞ ❝  it was a real honor to meet you.  ❞ ❝  be warned. if you go, i cannot guarantee you will survive.  ❞ ❝  isn’t that, like…an incredible thing that only incredible people can have?  ❞ ❝  i’m sorry you had to see me like that.  ❞ ❝  as for me…well…i just do not believe you are guilty of anything.  ❞ ❝  i…i cannot forgive you. not ever.  ❞ ❝  i can see it in your eyes. you’re asking yourself, “why me?”  ❞ ❝  you…did you just try to push me? no, i assume?  ❞ ❝  to be honest, i’ve been watching you.  ❞ ❝  when all this is done…perhaps we can spend some time together.  ❞ ❝  i believe in allowing the mistakes of the past to wash away.  ❞ ❝  it seems you’re a great deal more important than you appear.  ❞ ❝  the only pleasure that gives me comfort is cooking.  ❞ ❝  ah, the smell of the sea.  ❞ ❝  that is NOT an appropriate question to ask a lady you’ve just met.  ❞ ❝  i can assure you that i do not now, nor have i ever, needed help from the likes of you.  ❞ ❝  oh? well, i suppose i changed my mind.  ❞ ❝  now that i think of it…shouldn’t you be dead? sorry. that may be too personal a question.  ❞ ❝  do you not understand the gravity of what you have done?  ❞ ❝  i thought i made it clear that i am not in need of an escort.  ❞ ❝  your face sickens me! i am sickened! get out of my sight!  ❞ ❝  how dare you show your face here after what you did.  ❞ ❝  are you the hero? could it be?  ❞ ❝  words often fall meaningless when we try to describe tragic events of a certain magnitude.  ❞ ❝  you certainly are cute when you’re blushing.  ❞ ❝  there were times when i’d stay out so late, i didn’t realize morning had come.  ❞ ❝  i like watching the river flow by. is that such a crime?  ❞ ❝  as you are now, i cannot say whether you are worthy or not.  ❞ ❝  i heard a terrible rumor that you had fallen in combat.  ❞ ❝  i bet you think this is just a myth, right?  ❞ ❝  oooh, i don’t have time to be drinking right now…  ❞ ❝  please feel free to show your excitement. anyway…  ❞ ❝  a bit early to flirt, isn’t it?  ❞ ❝  it’s been a while since we’ve seen the sun here.  ❞ ❝  nothing’s wrong. just leave me alone.  ❞ ❝  it’s so soothing to stare at, don’t you think?  ❞ ❝  in a world as dangerous as ours, are you seriously asking me to travel alone?  ❞ ❝  well, even someone like you/me has their limits.  ❞ ❝  i wish i could be a kid again and think only of myself.  ❞ ❝  what you did for me is more than i could have ever expected of you.  ❞ ❝  you have grown much recently. you know you will be a worthy heir when the time comes.  ❞ ❝  mark my words, i’ll protect this land of ours to the death.  ❞ ❝  we’ve both been through a lot, i’m sure.  ❞ ❝  such is the way of youth…driven! even reckless, some might say.  ❞ ❝  i can’t stop trembling. i thought i was ready for this.  ❞ ❝  if you don’t mind, i’d love to catch up sometime soon.  ❞ ❝  it seems i’m the only one with a mind of my own.  ❞ ❝  i would be overjoyed if you could find it in your heart to forgive me. if not now, then perhaps one day.  ❞ ❝  speaking of which, can you believe this view?  ❞ ❝  you aren’t trying to tell me you want a reward, are you?  ❞ ❝  you came all the way here, but it was in vain. i have no desire to speak with you.  ❞ ❝  i hope you know…that i will always protect you.  ❞ ❝  i’ve recovered to the point where i can stand.  ❞ ❝  we meet again. it seems that sharing space is our destiny.  ❞ ❝  so how about it? care to hear stories of my glory days while we walk?  ❞ ❝  open your eyes…wake up.  ❞ ❝  if you keep doing everything everyone asks of you without question, you’re gonna get conned eventually.  ❞ ❝  it seems that…i was wrong about you.  ❞ ❝  i simply must admit the truth. you’ve accomplished something that even i could not.  ❞ ❝  what? you look like you’ve got something else to say.  ❞ ❝  go on. there’s nothing to hide.  ❞ ❝  you’re making my cheeks warm looking at me like that.  ❞ ❝  i’ve never been one to question fate.  ❞ ❝  i can tell, just from looking at you…you have a place in my dreams.  ❞ ❝  you…i really owe you for what you did.  ❞ ❝  it saddens me to know i truly am all alone in this world.  ❞ ❝  you cannot fool me with such a fanciful lie.  ❞ ❝  i would never have thought you could have taken down something that big. no offense.  ❞ ❝  know that the only reason you’re not already sliced into pieces is because i am otherwise occupied.  ❞ ❝  that is a special gift from your ancestors…you must never let it go.  ❞ ❝  you were just pitying me, weren’t you?  ❞ ❝  listen, if you wanna get anywhere in this life, you gotta have cash and cachet.  ❞ ❝  this place is so filthy and women free, it might as well be called a manfill.  ❞ ❝  you’ve traveled the world helping folks, but there’s more that need helping. you don’t have the luxury of tarrying here.  ❞ ❝  won’t you come see me again? i’ll be waiting.  ❞ ❝  i was thinking…this reminds me of the time we first met.  ❞ ❝  crazy times we live in, eh?  ❞ ❝  not to pry, but…i have to ask. who are you supposed to be?  ❞ ❝  i encourage you to slow down for a moment, my courageous friend.  ❞ ❝  once this whole thing is over…maybe things can go back to how they used to be when we were young.  ❞ ❝  villages everywhere were burned. many lives were lost…  ❞

HOZIER  LYRIC  MEME: PT. ONE

a  compilation  of  various  lyrics  from  my  Lord  and  Savior,  HOZIER.

TAKE  ME  TO  CHURCH:

❝ every  sunday's  getting  more  bleak. ❞

❝  we  were  born  sick,  you  heard  them  say  it. ❞

❝  the  only  heaven  i’ll  be  sent  to,  is  when  i’m  alone  with  you. ❞

❝  i’ll  tell  you  my  sins  and  you  can  sharpen  your  knife. ❞

❝  to  keep  the  goddess  on  my  side,  she  demands  a  sacrifice. ❞

❝  that’s  a  fine  looking  high  horse. ❞

❝  we've  a lot  of  starving  faithful. ❞

❝  no  masters  or  kings  when  the  ritual  begins. ❞

❝  there  is  no  sweeter  innocence  than  our  gentle  sin. ❞

ANGEL  OF  SMALL  DEATH  AND  THE  CODEINE  SCENE:

❝  toying  somewhere  between  love  and  abuse. ❞

❝  shaking  the  wings  of  their  terrible  youths. ❞

❝  no  more  alone  or  myself  could  i  be. ❞

❝  bloody  and  raw,  but  i  swear  it  is  sweet. ❞

❝  and  lease  this  confusion,  i'll  wander  the  concrete. ❞

JACKIE  AND  WILSON:

❝  so  tired  trying  to  see  from  behind  the  red  inj my  eyes. ❞

❝  no  better  version  of  me  i  could  pretend  to  be  tonight. ❞

❝  'cause  with  my  mid-youth  crisis  all  said  and  done,  i  need  to  be  youthfully  felt.  ❞

❝ we'll  steal  her  Lexus,  be  detectives,  ride  round  pickin'  up  clues.  ❞

❝  lord  it'd  be  great  to  find  a  place  we  could  escape  sometime.  ❞

❝ every  version  of  me  dead  and  buried  in  the  yard  outside. ❞

SOMEONE  NEW:

❝  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. ❞

❝  there's  an  art  to  life's  distractions. ❞

❝  some  like  to  imagine  the  dark  caress  of  someone  else. ❞

❝  i  guess  any  thrill  will  do. ❞

❝  the  stranger  the  better.  ❞

TO  BE  ALONE:

❝  never  felt  too  good  in  crowds. ❞

❝  all  i've  ever  done  is  hide  from  our  times. ❞

❝  but  you  don't  know  what  hell  you  put  me  through. ❞

❝  it  feels  good  to  be  alone  with  you. ❞

❝  there  are  questions  i  can't  ask. ❞ 

❝  we  should  run  away. ❞

FROM  EDEN.

❝  there's  something  tragic  about  you.  ❞ 

❝  there's  something  lonesome  about  you.  ❞

❝  get  closer  to  me. ❞

❝  idealism  sits  prison,  chivalry  fell  on  it's  sword. ❞

❝  innocence  died  screaming,  honey  ask  me,  i  should  know. ❞

❝  babe,  there's  something  wretched  about  this. ❞

❝  oh,  what  a  sin. ❞ 

SEDATED:

❝  just  a  little  rush  babe. ❞

❝  to  feel  dizzy,  to  derail  the  mind  of  me. ❞

❝  you  and  i  nursing  on  a  poison  that  never  stung. ❞

❝  something  isn’t  right. ❞

❝  i  keep  catching  little  words,  but  the  meanings  thin. ❞

❝  we're  slaves  to  any  semblance  of  touch. ❞

❝  darlin’, don't  you  stand there watching. ❞

❝  free  and  young, and  we  can  feel  none  of  it. ❞

WORK  SONG:

❝  is  that  the  kind'a  way  to  face  the  burning  heat ?  ❞ 

❝  she/he/you  give  me  toothaches  just  from  kissin'  me. ❞

❝  no  grave  can  hold  my  body  down. ❞

❝  i  was  three  days  on  a  drunken  sin. ❞

❝  heaven  and  hell  were  words  to  me . ❞

LIKE  REAL  PEOPLE  DO:

❝  i  had  a  thought,  dear. ❞

❝  why  were  you  digging  ?  ❞

❝  what  did  you  bury  ?  ❞

❝  honey,  just  put  your  sweet  lips  on  my  lips.  ❞

❝  i  could  not  ask  you  where  you  came  from.  ❞

❝  we  should  just  kiss  like  real  people do.  ❞

IT  WILL  COME  BACK:

❝  you  know  better  than  to  look  at  me  like  that. ❞ 

❝  you  know  better  than  to  talk  to  me  like  that.  ❞

❝  don’t  give  it  a  hand,  offer  it  a  soul. ❞

❝  jesus  christ,  don’t  be  kind  to  me.  ❞

❝  don’t  let  me  in  with  no  intention  to  keep  me.  ❞

❝  you  don’t  understand. ❞

❝  honey,  don’t  feed  me,  i  will  come  back.  ❞

❝  that’s  a  kindness  you  can’t  avoid.  ❞

❝  give  me  mercy.  ❞

❝  you’ll  hear  me  howling  outside  your  door.  ❞
