all you desire to do with yourself, may it bring you the peace you deserve

i wish i could put into words how knowing you has saved my life

i feel no anger, i find no reason to, you bring me peace unlike i’ve ever experienced before

though i do feel anger every time i see what they make you go through

i can re-invent the world itself if you’d like, just say the world

ah but a god does not have what you have, a god does not shine as brightly as you do

for months? you’ve been putting me through this for months?

how can you come back and even look me in the eye after all you’ve done

you didn’t mean that, right? please tell me you didn’t mean that

you swore you wouldn’t leave, you promised

after everything we’ve been through? seriously?

did i ever even know you?

please don’t do this, you’re all i’ve left

it wasn’t like that, it was us against you from the beginning

i was never on your side to begin with, don’t you get that?

but i’m doing this for you, for us, doesn’t that count for anything?

i know what you did, don’t even try

wait, how do you know about that

was it you? did you tell them? did you tell them the one thing i begged you not to?

i trusted you with my life, i trusted you with everything i had!

fuck, i regret ever having even met you

so, it was all a lie? nothing of what we went through mattered to you?

you could have stabbed me at least a thousand times before this, why now?

why didn’t you just kill me when you had the chance, huh?

did you have fun? did you enjoy yourself, pretending to be my friend?

i don’t want to hear it, i don’t care why you did it

we took you in, we cared for you, and this is what you were after the entire time?

i should have listened when they told me to stay away from you

the people i cared about... gone, all because of you and some stupid plan

you don’t get it, this is the only way, okay?

maybe if you learnt how to prioritise better, you would actually understand why i had to do this

i never meant to hurt you, it may have been a lie at first, but please, you have to believe me

tell me i imagined you leaving, tell me none of this happened and i’ll believe you

i’d rather die than be stuck with a traitor any moment longer

we all depended on you, how could you do this to us?

is it my fault you trust so foolishly and willingly?

i’m sorry, i know it’s meaningless now, but please, know i’m sorry

you’ll understand one day, you’ll understand i never actually meant to hurt you

you don’t even look dejected, do you enjoy playing with other people’s lives?

you took everything from me, you fucking bastard

i wish i’d have killed you when they told me to

you’re meant for so much more, why cry when you could join me?

i had to make you trust me, you would have never come this far, otherwise

there are far bigger things at stake here than your broken heart

why do you even care so much? you were using me just the same!

so i was right about you after all, i’m glad i never fully trusted you

you know what? you’re nothing more than a lesson to me now, so fuck off

so, now that we’re here, think you can tell me what you’re really after?

was there ever a time where you thought, you know, maybe there is a chance after all?

did we ever figure out why it didn’t work

this is the part where i say ‘i wanted us to last’ but without any ‘us’ to begin with, what should i say?

how do you speak to someone who doesn’t know just how long you’ve loved them?

you could have said something, you know, anything would have worked

i would have jumped at any opportunity to actually try

were we just cowards or did we see some danger another version of us ended up suffering through?

okay, but if you’d known, would you have said anything?

i loved you, i really did, i loved you enough to wish i’d never started

new home, new people, new life, i feel out of place by how out of place i feel near you

we were nothing to each other, nothing like that, so why do i feel like an awkward ex?

how do you look into the eyes of someone you’ve ever only confessed in silence to?

or maybe you were just leading me on or maybe i was or maybe it doesn’t matter anymore

people used to ask me all the time if we’d finally taken that step

sometimes it’s just like that, nothing happens and no one knows why

would you have loved me if given the chance?

no, you’re right, i thought i had all the time in the world and made you wait needlessly, endlessly

you could have stayed, you could have sat down, stayed longer, held my hand, instead of running away again and again and again

thinking back on all the glances and the nothings after feels like drifting through underdeveloped memories, where your mind knows what should have been but the image doesn’t intend to lie for its sake

i should have said something, maybe, or maybe i should have said less

would it have worked if we’d wanted it less or did we never want it enough

maybe it didn’t work out because we were placeholders, just set in place to long for fruitlessly to avoid pursuing something real

looking into your eyes and seeing how you’ve moved on, what am i even doing here?

even if i don’t want you know, i still can’t help but want that you’d wanted me back then

is it vile of me? to hope some part of you regrets never having held a part of me?

i did never get to learn how to love you loudly, that sticks around, you know

how many people have you kissed wondering if i might have tasted the same

i’ve never seen someone to substitute you but i’ve never not thought of you as a standard to choose by, either

it would have happened, if your efforts had been in earnest, direct, serious, i would have been yours and yours only

it’s because neither of us ever said anything, we’re barely speaking of it now

should we seriously stop beating around the bush now and address what we can’t change?

maybe we should just let the past be the past and stop wondering about a future together we never had

it feels so final, that’s the worst part, feeling as though i will never be allowed to love you again

even if i’d reached out, even if you’d reached back, would it have been worth it?

the misery of longing for a choice unmade with unknown consequences

for all we know, we could have been that missing puzzle piece for each other

for all we know, never having met in the middle led us to the happiest versions of ourselves

pink gore starters - tw: gore, blood mention, humiliation for characters who speak in purple and then eat you alive, the femme fatale hidden behind the flower girl, from both the perspective of the predator and the prey edit as you see fit!

a pretty smile and that’s all it takes?

but i’m all alone and it’s so dark out, would you not let me in?

you think dolls don’t come equipped with fangs, amiright?

you’re so helpful and so kind and so, so very easy to read

oh but i knew someone like you would never turn away from an innocent beauty in need

you leer at all sorts of angels, don’t you, darling

how does it feel, when the innocence you wanted to defile turns into your worst nightmare?

what’s wrong? am i not smiling that pretty smile you liked so much?

now, now, stop crying, you were so big and strong mere moments ago, what happened?

i would never hurt a fly, not a single bug, unless it doesn’t get its fucking hand off of me

aw, this is probably not what you thought would happen when you took me home, is it?

do you regret it now? not taking people seriously, not taking ME seriously?

begging, now, are we, how very ironic, don’t you agree?

allow me to etch that warning into your skin for easy reading

people like you are easy, confident perpetrators who think themselves strong enough to choke the brightest of flowers

you’ll always succumb beneath the heel of someone like me, don’t forget that

consider me rightful punishment for thinking you could touch any of the ones come before me

now, this isn’t anything personal, okay? you were simply the easiest mark around

following a pretty smile and flirty saunter into the woods, what do you think would have happened?

no, don’t quieten down, you look so pretty begging for your life

my favourite kind of prey, when they wear that shocked disbelief

a better hare would have smelled the threat in me but, well, you’re just a human, disadvantaged from the start

it’s laughable, i hold out a perfumed wrist and suddenly you’re offering my teeth your throat

what did you want me to do, ask you if you pretty please could kiss me? ask you to hold me? oh that’s cute

oh, no, your soul is an aperitif, that look, that look on your face, that’s the main course

you want to corrupt so bad, so so very bad

you think just about anything that breathes will fall for you, don’t you

oh, so you win with charms? win with that hubris of yours?

the red lipstick wasn’t so much a giveaway as it was the embarrassingly poignant cherry on top

don’t you tire of it, playing with your food before you finally eat it, playing with people before you finally destroy them?

what do you get out of that kind of terror, what makes you want people to want you before you consume them and throw them away

oh how you thrive beneath desiring gazes, oh how much you hate them

they should want you, right, but never, ever actually claim you

you’ve got about a dozen masks and they shine with beauty and reek from within

so what, go ahead, feast upon my liver, at least i’ll die seeing the ugliness of the face you’ll make

you’re a destroyer and i pity you vehemently

i pick my teeth with the likes of you, i use your promises and false worshipping to powder my cheeks

this is how you lose the time war - amal el-mohtar & max gladstone (2019) - pt. 1 edit as you see fit!

two great empires broke themselves here, each a reef to the other’s hull

twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action

a fugitive becomes a queen or a scientist, or worse, a poet

and all this blood for nothing

killing gets easier with practice, in mechanics and technique

a tremor passes through the soil - do not call it earth

if the planet lasted long enough, the vines that sprout from the corpses’ mouth would grow berries

it is a trap, of course

the planet waits for its end

this letter was meant to be read once, then destroyed

trust that i have accounted for all variables of irony

you’re wondering what this is but not, i think, wondering who this is

i shall confess to you here that i’d been complacent, bored, even, with the war

you invigorated your shift’s war effort and, in so doing, invigorated me

please find my gratitude all around you

i must tell you it brings me great pleasure to think of you reading these words in licks and whorls of flame

in order to report my words to your superiors you must admit yourself already infiltrated

i wish you to know that i respected your tactics

the elegance of your work makes this war seem like less of a waste

it’s been so long since i last started a new conversation

remembering our last encounter, i thought it best to ensure you’d twist no other groundlings to your purpose, hence the bomb threat

not every battle’s grand, not every weapon fierce

it’s so easy to crush a planet that you may overlook the value of a whisper to a snowbank

i imagine you laughing at this letter, in disbelief

you marched scornful and fierce through the halls, hunting an agent you did not know was me

will you respond, establishing complicity, continuing our self-destructive paper trail, just to get in the last word?

will you cut off, leaving my note to spin its fractal math inside you?

start a stone rolling, so in three centuries you’ll have an avalanche

winning tastes sweet, but sweeter still to triumph and tease

knowing your fine attention to detail, i thought i’d put a little devil in it

it flatters me to find you so attentive

will you go still or turn sharply when you know that i’m watching you?

i’ll be long gone by the time the wind turns right

made you look, though, didn’t i?

rina sawayama starters - ‘sawayama’ (2020) edit as you see fit!

dynasty

i'm losing myself in the darkness of the world

catch me before i fall

saving myself is all i really know

i'm a dynasty the pain in my vein is hereditary

won't you break the chain with me?

i'm gonna take the throne this time

all the words all mine, all mine

you can't hide it in the walls, sweep it under marble floors

it's been living in our lives, best told damn family lie

i nearly gave it away for the sake of my sanity

XS

and when the heart wants what it wants, what can i do?

so i'll take that one, that one, yeah, that one too

call me crazy, call me selfish, i'm the baddest and i'm worth it

gimme just a little bit more, little bit of excess

i don't wanna hear "No, no", only want a "Yes, yes"

gimme just a little bit of excess

make me less, so, I want more

where did it go awry? when all this time, Heaven was in our eyes

so, say goodnight, forget about it 'til the end of time

STFU!

but it's too late, you already left

you're preaching even though I'm dead

you're like the first time under my pride

how come you don't expect me to get mad when I'm angry?

how come you don't respect me?

why don't you just sit down and... shut the fuck up

have you ever thought about taping your big mouth shut?

patience overrated, if you want it, come and get it

i'm not being naturally negative, no

i don't wanna be that girl again

i've been done and been through more friends than i can count on my fingertips

how come you don't detest me?

i am your medicine and your reality

comme des garçons (like the boys)

can i just record you doing that

i woke up today, had to wash my fears away, again

i'm feeling okay, it's just another day to pretend

excuse my ego, can't go incognito

every time you see me it's like winning big in Reno

don't fuck with me, hoe, take you down like judo

you should never be ashamed to have it all

hot like a fever make you a believer

write my name up in the sky from Paris to Shibuya

elevate your vision when you put me on the cover

akasaka sad

hotel corridor blacked out rear window crawling under my skin

flew here to escape but i feel the same

sucks to be me

sucks to be so lonely

don't look at me, fragile i bruise easily

cause I'm a sucker, sucker, so I suffer

i guess i'll be sad

i guess i'll be sad forever and ever and ever wherever

can't face who i can and can't be

5, 938 miles between you

paradisin’

livin' my best life thrivin'

drivin' you cra-a-a-a-azy

you say i'm misbehavin' but i'm just a kid, so save it

let me have an unforgettable time of my life

i went and messed up again, went against everything you said

then you threaten to send me to boarding school for the seventh time

i know we can't afford that so i'm fine

tough I'm stuck in the middle of it all, isn't life so beautiful

first kiss in 2003, making out, feeling carefree

but then his phone rings and your number's on the screen 

i'm fine, yeah, i bet you think i'm terrible

love me 4 me

if you can't love yourself, how are you going to love somebody else?

every day, i wanna start over 'cause i remind me of me

at my worst, i'll let my mirror tell me lies

gotta do right, be nice, smile just like a lady

i gotta work hard, make up, hair done like a star

i gotta be that angel, good girl, soft and sexy

you wanna love me for me, if i made it easy

my mind, you find remedies, but you can't fix me, you can't win

bad friend

we ran through the bright Tokyo lights, nothing to lose

summer of 2012, burnt in my mind

high, crazy and drunk, five in a room

singing our hearts out to Carly, sweat in our eyes

i'm so good at crashing in, making sparks and shit but then i'm a bad friend

so don't ask me where i've been, been avoiding everything

i'm a bad friend

guess we fell out, what was that all about?

maybe i overreacted, well, maybe you shouldn't have

god, it's insane how things can change like that

don't even know where you are, what you do and who you do it with

put your hands up if you're not good at this stuff

fuck this world (interlude)

sometimes i can only see the bad side of our life

fuck this world, i'm leaving you

sick of what you people taking fuck 'em, better to be the top

fuck this world, it's dying

that's why i'm comforting stars

gravity can't pull us apart

here's to the new life on Mars

fuck it, now let's get fucked up

if i leave, then maybe i can start again

this is a mission impossible, may not be solvable, may not be viable but at least we're trying

this is a mission impossible, maybe unlovable, maybe unstoppable, but at least we're trying

who’s gonna save u now?

pain ain't gonna put it away

that's where you stay, deep in my prayers

for so long, i waited on you

so, you burned the bridges and drained the river

i can't forgive you like i did before

who's gonna save you now?

i wish you well, but go take it somewhere else, 

gave it more than a fair shot even when they told me not to, i said i've got to

guess you became a project to me

you made me lose my mind so many times

you said no absolution, i needed a resolution

good luck in your evolution, hope you learned to live it better

you wasted my time, don't need it

say sorry, i don't believe it

you buggin', press hard reset

tokyo love hotel

you got that something that everyone wants

you got that movie star glow

you got them askin' to have you on their skin

even though they don't know like i know you, no, they don't

use you for one night and then away they go

thought i was original, but after all

i guess this is just another song 'bout Tokyo

i just want your love all to myself

i know there's nothing that i could say that hasn't already been said

falling for a stereotype

chosen family

tell me your story and i'll tell you mine

i'm all ears, take your time, we've got all night

show me the rivers crossed, the mountains scaled

show me who made you walk all the way here

settle down, put your bags down, you're alright now

we don't need to be related to relate

we don't need to share genes or a surname

you are my chosen, chosen family

so what if we don't look the same?

we been going through the same thing

hand me a pen and i'll rewrite the pain

when you're ready, we'll turn the page together

open a bottle, it's time we celebrate, who you were, who you are

we're one and the same

i chose you, you chose me

we're alright now

snakeskin

looking for forgiveness i ran into your madness

shutting off my brain just to spite my heart

you're slithering into my heart

buy my expensive, exclusive, pain wear

i tear my soul into two so that you can pretend despair

[hyprmemes]
