You're never gonna love me, so what's the use? What's the point in playing a game you're gonna lose? What's the point in saying you love me like a friend? What's the point in saying it's never gonna end?
You're too proud to say that you made a mistake, you're a coward 'til the end. I don't wanna admit that we're not gonna fit. No, I'm not the type that you like. Why don't we just pretend?
You only ever touch me in the dark. Only if we're drinking, can you see my spark? And only in the evening, could you give yourself to me? 'Cause the night is your woman and she'll set you free.
Lies, don't wanna know. I can't let you go, I just want it to be perfect. To believe it's all been worth the fight. Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know.
Dinner And Diatribes // Hozier
Honey, this club here is stuck up, dinner and diatribes. I knew it from the first look of, the look of mischief in your eyes. Your friends are a fate that befell me, head is a talking type.
I'd suffer Hell if you'd tell me what you'd do to me tonight. Let there be hotels complaints and grievances raised, let there be damage ensued and tabloid news.
The Main Character // Will Wood
I'm that perspective you cannot doubt, see how I look. Control the narrative reliably, baby, it's all about me. So now, I'm holding myself hostage. Stockholm lust just looks like justice.
So, God forbid I'm seen just as an average human being. I mean, imagine if protagonists just died in the first scene.
I'm the gap between tragedy and comedy. Don't come at me, I'm the main character and you have to like me.
Villains are everywhere, that's how I know that I'm the hero. So tie me to the train tracks, laugh, and snidely twist your mustache.
We all do what we need to to get through, but I ain't done a fucking thing to you. So, God forbid I'm seen just as an average human being.
I mean, imagine if antagonists lacked any evil scheme. I'm the gap between a tragedy and comedy. Don't come at me, I'm the main character and you have to like me.
You // Marina and the Diamonds
You don't know me like you think you do. You don't own me, but I can't cut you loose. Everybody thinks that you're a star, but underneath, I see just what you are.
We both know that we can never change, walking slowly through the smoke and flames. Yeah, you break me down. Yeah, you shut me out. But it's all about you.
I'm the main character, and you have to like me
I'm the gap between a tragedy and comedy
I know what you're about, but I need you now 'cause it's all about you. You don't love me like you think you do, you don't know that I'm just as bad as you.
Everybody thinks that I'm the heart of every party, but it's just the start. Deep down, I know that we're just the same, burning slowly through the dust and flames.
No Children // The Mountain Goats
I hope that our few remaining friends give up on trying to save us. I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot to piss off the dumb few that forgave us. I hope it's already too late.
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here someday burns down, and I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away and I never come back to this town again in my life.
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow, I hope it bleeds all day long.
I hope it stays dark forever, I hope the worst isn't over. I hope I never get sober. And I hope when you think of me years down the line, you can't find one good thing to say.
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out, you'd stay the hell out of my way. I am drowning, there is no sign of land. You are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand.
And I hope you die, I hope we both die.
Ready To Let Go // Cage The Elephant
Sun went down, sun went down over Pompeii. On both sides, the vow was broken. Oh my my, I'm the one trying to hide this damage done.
One day, all our secrets will be spoken. As we slow dance, I became your statue, frozen. Times I wonder, are we just a puff of smoke? Underneath this bed of ashes, still withholding everything like we were never close.
Sun went down, sun went down over Pompeii. On holy ground, our vows were broken. We met up, we broke bread. I was blue, your dress was red. Ain't it strange? We both knew this day was coming.
Don't you worry, baby, no sense trying to change it. Imma strike these matches, never had control. I'm ready to let go, no, was I fooling myself?
Imma spread these ashes, never had control. I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to let go.
I/Me/Myself // Will Wood
I've been feeling lightheaded since I lost enough weight to fit back in my skin. Take my tea with formaldehyde for my feminine side since the day that I died.
While I whittle my bones until I'm brittle, am I pretty now? For some reason, I find myself lost in what you think of me and too confused to choose who I should be.
And now you've got me thinking: I wish I could be a girl and that way, you'd wish I could be your girlfriend.
I get dressed up in shadows one leg at a time, we're so alike. But if the shoe fits then I won't try it on and you'll be walking out early, but the show must go on.
No, I know that I'm wrong, but I love how you're on my side when I cross that line. It's been a point of contention between myself and this body that they stuck me in.
Say my name like a slur, but I've been called worse. And I've heard it all before, no, this isn't a first. Let me be the void you fill with.
Am I pretty enough to love back? No, not yet. Am I pretty enough, am I pretty enough to fucking die?
Well, I would give you my whole world. All identities are equally invalid, don't you think that there's a chance that you could live without it?
Spiderhead // Cage The Elephant
I am the one you left for dead and as you stand over my grave, you'll pause your lips upon my face.
Either I'm in heaven or I'm in hell. Am I losing my mind, yeah? Cause I can't tell. I've been waiting for answers for way too long, seems I'm always waiting around.
I think your mother wants me dead. Say you wanted to, I am a schizophrenic man. I wouldn't change you if I could.
Spiders in my head, spiders in my mind. You may take my eyes, but baby, I'm not blind. It all works out all right, you know I'm gonna be all right.
