dialogue prompts from boygenius’s 2023 album.
give me everything you’ve got.
i’ll take what i can get.
i want to hear your story and be a part of it.
who would i be without you, without them?
i want you to hear my story and be a part of it.
i just want to know who broke your nose.
if it isn’t love, then what the fuck is it?
when you wake up, i’ll be gone again.
may i please have twenty dollars?
i can feel myself becoming someone only you could want.
i’m sorry, baby. you know how i get when i’m wrong.
i can feel myself becoming somebody i’m not.
i can’t hide from you like i hide from myself.
i remember who i am when i’m with you.
your love is tough, your love is tried and true blue.
i came prepared for absolution if you’d only ask.
i take some offense when you say, “no regrets”.
i’m trying to forget about it.
now i have to act like i can’t read your mind.
i ask you how you’re doing and i let you lie.
we don’t have to talk about it.
i’ll pretend being with you doesn’t feel like drowning.
i don’t know why i am the way i am.
not strong enough to be your man.
i might like you less now that you know me so well.
i never thought you’d happen to me.
will you be a satanist with me?
will you be an anarchist with me?
will you be a nihilist with me?
you could absolutely break my heart.
i feel crazy in ways i never say.
will you still love me if it turns out i’m insane?
it doesn’t have to be like that.
if you rewrite your life, may i still play a part?
in the next one, will you find me?
there is something about you that i will always recognize.
i think that you’re special.
you told me once that i’m selfish.
i love you. i don’t know why.
you’re not special, you’re evil.
you don’t get to tell me to calm down.
you make me feel like an equal.
i’m better than you and you should know that by now.
i’m ready to walk into my room without looking for you.
