from a shuffled playlist inspired by the southern gothic, the preacher’s daughter, and demon slaying. lyrics slightly tweaked for clarification.
i’ll hold my breath for three more years.
god loves you, but not enough to save you.
good luck taking care of yourself.
that's how my daddy raised me.
if they strike once, then you just hit 'em twice as hard.
if i bend under the weight that they gave me, then this heart would break and fall as twice as far.
the more it hurts, the less it shows.
i still feel like they all know. that's why I could never go back home.
if it's meant to be then it will be.
i forgive it all as it comes back to me.
i can't let go when something's broken.
it's all I know and it's all I want now.
with good luck, i'll find the dark.
it’s my primary instinct to protect the child.
i had a dream that it would end like this.
what's gone is gone and you can't bring it back around.
you can't illuminate what time has anchored down.
your divination should acquaint you with the plan.
all i want is to save you.
the space between us is as boundless as the dark.
you can't intimidate me back into your arms.
i can see that you want me going downhill, too.
you ripped me open, then you kissed me.
i adore the bludgeoned affection.
i swear, i’m the shell of a man.
my mom, now she’s a saint.
i killed them both, and they're buried under a sycamore.
you think I'm psycho, don't you?
i'm having crazy dreams again.
i woke up in his room, standing right there by his bed with my hands around his throat, wishing both of us were dead.
we will wade in the shine of the ever.
no one is born to hate, we learn it somewhere along the way.
hardly a maverick, lesser than average.
your vulnerability is stronger than it seems.
you know it's okay to have a bad day.
just get this one thing done.
i went to the bar to get a little closer to myself and learn things i never really wanted to know.
i want to be where all the stupid shit i say sounds so romantic and true.
i'd rot in hell with you.
live with me in this sin forever.
we take things a little far, but you couldn't name a place I wouldn't go with you.
home is the last place that i'd stand to be with anyone but you.
beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men.
secret compartments hide all of the skeletons.
you know damn well where you'll go.
i want to be someone else or i’ll explode.
you want me? fuckin’ well come and find me.
you soon find you have few choices.
when i was a child, i heard voices ; some would sing, some would scream.
all you have is your fire.
don't you ever tame your demons, but always keep them on a leash.
i knew that something would always rule me.
i’ll make you a believer.
circumstance will decide.
you’re a ghost on the highway, and i’ll love you forever.
i want to eat out your bitter heart.
you gotta show me where it hurts.
there's a beast and a burden kicking, spitting on your bathroom floor.
good things die all the time.
god bless your heart, vengeance is mine.
kiss me like you mean goodbye.
so if I fight the good fight, will hairlines recede? will lines deepen in face to craft a look of defeat?
my little saturday night became a sunday remorse.
at last, my good friend, we are even.
don't you leave me in the ground alone.
but you and I will never find that peace.
it's too bad that all these things can only happen in my dreams.
if you want to scream, scream with me.
