SOLID STATE SENTENCE STARTERS.
a collection of prompts from the 2017 album by jonathan coulton, edited for clarity.
wake up, the whole world is waiting for you.
all we'll have is all this time.
complainers get what they get.
things are stranger than they seem.
small mistake, terrible crime.
but it's better than solid state.
all this time, and everybody's still sad.
good things never last long when you've come to expect them.
the whole world is doing it wrong and i can't not correct them.
there's a girl who ignores me.
who wants to care that much?
sometimes you can't repair things.
more bad news that i didn't need.
i can't stop reading, but i wish that i didn't know.
i am looking at pictures of cats.
i didn't want to be useless today.
try me tomorrow, today has been laying me low.
everything fell apart, everything changed.
sitting there, bleeding out, isn't it strange?
you're dying where you stand.
that sounds like the plan of an ordinary man.
no one tells you the ending — but it ends this way.
haven't you done enough saving by now?
can't they take care of each other somehow?
be who you're supposed to be.
try, and then, try again.
she holds my hand like i'm a barbed wire fence.
don't let your heart get lazy.
that stuff will make you crazy.
i appreciate the outrage.
nothing looks good on me.
do you know i love your tattoo?
did you say it was black tie?
ten minutes more, no matter what i say.
i sleep for fifty years, and you're still here.
our mistakes were the future.
if there's nobody left, then who is it for?
there's no one left who can remember me.
pulled down the stars for you, and you made me wait a minute.
i want you all to myself.
