TELL ME I'M PRETTY

starters taken from lyrics from the album tell me i'm pretty by cage the elephant.

i think it's pretty strange.

you're the one i love the most.

i remember clearly.

you know what they say, the wicked get no rest.

i can hear the sounds of sirens.

what if you die?

from the moment i first saw you, i was yours and you were mine.

look into my eyes.

i'm not your punching bag.

you've got your troubles, and i've got mine.

you need love.

they don't mess around.

i wanna waste my life with you.

i don't know if i spoke the truth.

no more time for cheap excuses.

you say that i'm insane, i say you're probably right.

i've seen those eyes before.

i try to find the will to carry on.

i'm telling the truth.

nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

the light will guide you home.

i said it was love.

where did you go?

we've all got something important to say.

don't look at me that way.

well, the look in your eyes says you're feeling the same way too.

god, don't let me lose my mind.

best to go while you're still breathing.

i think we should just let go.

wonder how much longer i can carry on.

deep down, we both knew you were trouble by design.

you know, they'll drive you crazy.

give me a sign, tell me, what should i do?

i get in trouble cause i speak my mind.

what kind of man are you?

my heart feels cold as ice.

will i pass the test?

let your hair down, let's unwind.

my only hope is someday to be back beside you.

got so much to lose, got so much to prove.

i made up my mind.

i never saw it coming.

after all the dust has settled, we can settle down.

it's anybody's guess.

these days, they take so long.

they've knocked on every door.

sometimes i like it when i make you cry.

if i were you, i would be leaving.

now i'm under your spell.

i've been facing trouble almost all my life.

talking's a waste of time.

better make it fast, before i change my mind.

everyone's been searching high and low.

kick, scream, fight.

i was always playing the part.

how long will we let it go?

the years, they turn so fast.

they're coming for you.

everywhere i look i catch a glimpse of you.

it's too late to say goodbye.

if you take a swing, the kid swings back.

how's it feel to be a ghost?

i take a look at myself and i stop and stare, and i wonder, who is this standing here?

i'm just trying to catch a feel from you.

i know tomorrow we may have regrets.

i know tomorrow we may have regrets, but as for right now, where's the party at?

i can tell you want to play.

soon the present will be past, and you'll look back and laugh.

just the two of us, forever.

how hard will i fall if i live a double life?

hold on with all your might.

can you help me?

you've got me begging for more.

you're gonna die.

you know that i would save you if i could.

open up your eyes or life will pass you by.

wish we could go back to the start.

i don't feel right.

i did it for life, i didn't do it for you.

take all your problems, leave them far behind.

they're gonna try to break you.

there was no changing my mind.

still, all these words i've spoken don't mean anything at all.

i want you back.

nothing else will ever be enough.

i say i'm sorry almost every time.

oh my god, is this real?

i'm sorry, love, for all the damage done.

better make it fast, because there ain't much time.

i thought that you were joking.

you can have my heart, any place, any time.

wait till tomorrow, then we can reflect.

your mother's worried sick.

no turning back.

like it or not, it's a matter of time.

TIDAL

starters taken from lyrics from the album tidal by fiona apple.

i tell you how i feel, but you don't care.

full is not heavy as empty.

what a cruel thing to pretend.

give me your absence tonight.

what i need is a good defense.

you can't intimidate me back into your arms.

does that scare you?

i say tell me the truth, but you don't dare.

take all of your sympathy and leave it outside.

i've got a lot to lose and i'm betting high.

you'll never feel the heat of this soul.

your gaze is dangerous.

heaven help me for the way i am.

what's gone is gone, and you can't bring it back around.

days like this, i don't know what to do with myself.

you'll never see the courage i know.

gonna win you over, slow like honey.

i've been careless with a delicate man.

i'll let you win, but you must make the endeavor.

'never' is a promise.

'never' is a promise, and you can't afford to lie.

you say love is a hell you cannot bear.

i'll let you run away.

i don't wanna talk 'cause there's nothing left to say.

you'll say 'don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems.'

i wanna be ready for what you do.

i'm building memories on things we have not said.

i don't go to sleep to dream.

before it ends, just tell me where to begin.

it was my aim to get caught.

you got your head in the clouds.

you'll say you understand, but you don't understand.

don't bother leaving the light on.

i've come to you 'cause i need guidance.

you set my soul at ease.

you can't illuminate what time has anchored down.

i'll be sure to stay wary of you.

i've got to cleanse myself of all these lies.

i've got to cleanse myself of all these lies until i'm good enough for them.

i'll never glow the way that you glow.

i suddenly feel like a different person.

you're not at all what you seem.

there's too much going on.

it's a sad world, when a girl will break a boy just because she can.

it's my big secret.

you'll say i need appeasing when i start to cry.

don't forget what i told you.

my fever burns me deeper than i've ever shown to you.

if i let you get too close, you'll set your spell on me.

i'm finally growing weary of waiting.

there's no kind of loving that can make this alright.

i've gone away.

they're all i ever knew of love.

i've got my own hell to raise.

i have never been so insulted in all my life.

don't make it a big deal.

the child is gone.

your presence dominates the judgements made on you.

i just wanted you.

save me from these evil deeds before i get them done.

they find a home in me.

my feel for you is decaying in front of me.

don't be so sensitive.

i've done wrong and i want to suffer for my sins.

it's calm under the waves.

you'll remember me.

we're not playing a game anymore.

won't do no good asking no questions.

you'll never live this life that i live.

you bring me to my knees.

help me out of this mess.

you don't have to be so defensive.

i understand what i am still too proud to mention to you.

is that why they call me sullen?

i just don't know where i can begin.

i don't know what to believe in.

all i want is to save you.

all i want is to save you, or the strength to walk away.

i'll haunt the world inside you.

don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain.

i'm trying to find a place i belong.

what misfortune sows, they know my touch will reap.

don't you tell me to deny it.

i don't know when you're gonna make your move.

i'm a stranger to myself.

heaven cannot wait forever.

the space between us is as boundless as the dark.

you don't know who i am.

i keep living this day like the next will never come.

don't even show me your face.

THE LAND IS INHOSPITABLE AND SO ARE WE

starters taken from lyrics from the album the land is inhospitable and so are we by mitski.

as i got older, i learned i'm a drinker.

one day, you'll figure me out.

look around, listen close.

your pain is eased but you'll never be free.

that love is like a star - it's gone, we just see it shining.

i can't go inside.

no one will ever love me like you again.

sometimes a drink feels like family.

you're my best friend.

i'm yours, no matter.

i'm yours, no matter that love's gone.

i don't like my mind.

i love me after you.

hey, what's the matter?

of course, nothing replied.

you know, i'd always been alone.

you know, i'd always been alone, until you taught me to live for somebody.

sometimes i think it would be easier without them.

i was hiding. or forgotten.

you're an angel, i'm a dog.

nothing in the world belongs to me but my love.

there's another memory that gets stuck.

we acted like two fools.

when you leave me, i should die.

nothing speaks to you in the night.

now i've no one to tell.

now i've no one to tell how i lost my best friend.

did you go and make promises you can't keep?

nothing in the world is mine for free.

people always gave me love.

isn't that worth holding on?

i can feel it getting near.

i want someone to take this soul. i can't bear to keep it.

i don't like being left alone in a room.

you believe me like a god.

there's a deal that i made.

when you break them, they break you right back.

could i go on break?

the house is mine alone.

you can bet it's there, waiting still.

i deserve it, don't i?

remember when we met?

i know nothing can hurt me when i see their sleeping face.

the frost, it looks like dust settled on the world after everyone's long been gone.

we've traveled very far.

i blast music loud and i work myself to the bone.

my love is mine, all mine.

amateur mistake, you can take it from me.

i'm sorry i'm the one you love.

please don't take this job from me.

we were so glad to have found it.

i can't bear to keep it.

now the world is mine alone.

the dark awaits us all around the corner.

the dark awaits us all around the corner, but here in our place we have the day.

there was no one in sight.

my baby here on earth showed me what my heart was worth.

others were never to blame after all.

that love is like a star.

i try to remember the wrath of the devil was also given him by god.

PERVERTS

starters taken from lyrics from the album perverts by ethel cain.

no one you know is a good person.

it is such a precious, magnificent thing to be loved.

i give in so easy.

how much?

i want to know love.

it took something from me, something i can't quite explain.

in the morning i will mar myself again.

here i am, empty.

let me tell you how much i've come to hate you since i began to live.

i want to know what god knows.

i will claw my way back.

i can't feel anything.

if you want, you can bite me.

if you want, you can bite me, and i won't move.

do you think you know how to give up?

i love you.

i can tell you right now, it's beautiful.

when you were young, you said you wished that someone loved you.

i am what i am, and i am nothing.

do you like that, baby?

what you do is nothing to me.

fast, reckless driving often leads to slow, sad music.

i'll take it.

it is no good, speaking of fairness.

maybe it was all a lie.

only god knows.

it feels good.

it has always been this way.

i've tried so hard to explain in words what it meant to me, how it felt to me, but maybe it’s not meant to be explainеd.

and still, they didn't die.

such a wondrous and painful thing, to be loved.

i am sure that hell must be cold.

maybe it's true.

you won't lose me to the thunder or lightning.

you won't lose me to the thunder or lightning, but you could to crowded rooms.

you don't, and you never will.

i would recommend that you take just as much as you need to feel good.

shame is sharp.

i always wondered if it would come back.

i want to know what it feels like.

i am what i am, and we are not the same.

i'll be alright.

we will not speak of this place again.

i like that sound you make, when you're clawing at the edge and without escape.

you were nothing to me.

i am punished by love.

i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you...

i have always possessed the insatiable need to see what happens inside the room.

do you think you know what it means to be loved?

the devil i know is the devil i want.

they made me leave.

i am that i was as i no longer am for i am nothing.

until then, i guess i'll just lie here and wait.

if you love me, keep it to yourself.

it's happening to everybody.

FETCH THE BOLT CUTTERS

starters taken from lyrics from the album fetch the bolt cutters by fiona apple.

i've waited many years.

nobody can replace anybody else.

i'm ashamed of what it did to me.

i used my feet to crush dead leaves like they had fallen from trees just for me, just to be crash cymbals.

i too used to want them to be proud of me.

why did you take it all away?

whatever you do, it's gonna be wrong.

by that time, i hope that you love me.

when i learned what they did, i felt close to you.

it wasn't because i was bored.

i was just so furious, but i couldn't show you.

you've got to get what you want how you want it, but so do i.

i resent you for being raised right.

don't get rid of it, you'd look good in it.

if i don't wanna go, leave me alone.

(name) told me they'd describe me as pissed off, funny, and warm.

i've been in here too long.

you get dragged down to the same spot enough times in a row, the bottom begins to feel like the only safe place that you know.

i did nothing wrong.

i'm alone on the summit now, trying not to let my light go out.

i would beg to disagree, but begging disagrees with me.

you love me.

i grew with you, and now i've changed.

in my own way, i fell in love with you.

i know how to spend my time.

they said i had potential.

it's the only reason i gave my time to you.

why did you not want to try?

i only like the way i look when looking through your eyes.

i resent you for never getting any opposition at all.

you maim when you're on offense, but you kill when you're on defense.

don't you push me.

i know that none of this will matter in the long run, but i know a sound is still a sound around no one.

how do you suppose we'll survive?

we're the only ones who know.

i don't want a war with you, i won't afford it.

i don't know if i'm coming across, but i'm really trying.

i see that you keep trying to bait me.

up until now in a rush to prove, but now i only move to move.

you know you won't like it when there's nothing to do.

i don't believe it.

i got the idea i wasn't real.

you know that it didn't go exactly like that.

while i'm in this body, i want somebody to want.

a smile always seemed rehearsed.

no love is like any other love.

i resent you for having each other.

i listened because i hadn't found my own voice yet, so all i could hear was the noise that people make when they don't know shit - but i didn't know that yet.

i'm sorry.

what i've become is something i can't be without your loving.

i told you i didn't wanna go to this dinner.

i want what i want.

i watch them walk over, talk over you, be mean to you.

they don't know what they are in for and they don't care.

i'm a good man in a storm.

you were so high.

i've been sucking it in for so long that i'm busting at the seams.

you've got them all convinced that you're the means and the end.

i want you to love me.

i wonder what lies they're telling you about me.

they weren't gentle and they weren't my friend, but they got through to me.

i grew up in the shoes they told me i could fill.

meanwhile i'm loving you so much.

ah, fuck.

kick me under the table all you want, i won't shut up.

i know that you do.

i've been used so many times.

i've been used so many times, i've learned to use myself in kind.

i resent you presenting your life like a fucking propaganda brochure.

we don't have to go back to where we've been.

people like us get so heavy and so lost sometimes, so lost and so heavy that the bottom is the only place we can find.

i know you and i know what you can do.

it's not what it's supposed to do.

i wasn't afraid of the bullies, and that just made the bullies worse.

i am the person who wants you to win.

well, good morning.

i can't do either well, but oh well.

evil is a relay sport.

back then i didn't know what potential meant.

if i get there in the long run, it could be alright.

i've always been too smart for that.

i've always been too smart for that, but you know what? my heart was not.

i just wanted to make amends.

i've been waiting, waiting for you to love me.
