Spiraling

Posting lyrics that have a special place in my heart

[lyric-archive]

I'm still praying for that house in Nebraska

By the highway, out on the edge of town

Dancing with the windows open

I can't let go when something's broken

It's all I know and it's all I want now

Sun Bleached Flies - Ethel Cain

[lyric-archive]

Hedges of prayer

Cause you believe, doesn't mean that it's there, it's so rare

It's so rare that somebody'd look out for you

Thoughts and prayers was all they'd do

Fable - Gigi Perez

[lyric-archive]

But God, I wish that I was better than I am

But no luck, no love, no gospel I could understand

Cocaine Jesus - Rainbow Kitten Surprise

[lyric-archive]

Doing what's right

Without a reward

And we don't have to fight

When it's not worth fighting for

THE GREATEST - Billie Eilish

[lyric-archive]

People say I look happy

Just because I got skinny

But the old me is still me and may be the real me

And I think she's pretty

SKINNY - Billie Eilish

[lyric-archive]

There's a party and we're all going

And we're all growing up

Somebody's driving and he will be drinking

And no one's going back

'Cause we've tried hungry and we've tried full

And nothing seems enough

Townie - Mitski

[lyric-archive]

You told me once

You were happy to have me

But I never gave me away

There's a lie that I told to you

Circle - Mitski

[lyric-archive]

You're coming back

And it's the end of the world

We're starting over

And I love you, darling

And I am done, dear

I Want You - Mitski

[lyric-archive]

I broke what you gave me

But you kept giving more

And I'm sorry for taking

But I keep wanting more, more, more

All the eggshells are on the ground

And I try, I'm trying to pick them up

But they crack and crumble, it's much too much

Too frail for me to touch

Humpty - Mitski

[lyric-archive]

Real men don't need other people

And real men suck it in

Real men don't flinch or bleed in public

Oh, I think I'm a real man

Real Men - Mitski

[lyric-archive]

I cannot bear you a son

But I will try

For if I am not yours, what am I?

I daydream I'd give one a name of my own

For I, even I, even I am on loan

Wife - Mitski

[lyric-archive]

This song has started now

And you're just finding out

Now isn't that a laugh?

A major sacrifice

But clueless at the time

Enter, Caroline

"Just trust me, you'll be fine"

End of Beginning - Djo

[lyric-archive]

I say I'm okay

'Cause they wouldn't care anyway

And I could try to explain

But my effort's in vain, they can't relate to how I've

Drawn out in Sharpie where I'd take the scissors

If that's what it took for me to look in the mirror

----

I've drawn out in Sharpie where I'd take the scissors

Fat Funny Friend - Maddie Zahm

[lyric-archive]

You're so stupid and perfect

And stupid and perfect

I hate you, I want you

I hate you, I hate you

Again and Again - The Bird And The Bee

[lyric-archive]

I could be a good mother

And I wanna be your wife

So, I hold you to my knife

And I steal your letter

Not a lot, just forever

Intertwined, sewn together

As the rock bears the weather

Not a lot, just forever

Not a Lot, Just Forever - Adrianne Lenker

[lyric-archive]

I don't wanna talk about anyone

I don't wanna talk about anyone

I wanna sleep in your car while you're driving

Lay in your lap when I'm crying

Anything - Adrianne Lenker

[lyric-archive]

You say too late to start, got your heart in a headlock

I don't believe any of it

You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock

You know you're better than this

Headlock - Imogen Heap
