death, made in heights

• inherited these ways and they came with seven claws

tough guy, cyberbully mom club

• and i know i'll never be a tough guy / and i know i can't handle anything without losing my mind

icicles, the scary jokes

• so i will try to be discreet / through my full-blown implosion / i'll stay golden and retreat

sullen girl, fiona apple

• they don't know i used to sail the deep and tranquil sea / but he washed me ashore / and he took my pearl / and left an empty shell of me

we will commit wolf murder, of montreal

• we will weaponize silence in a sense / and we will forget

twenty-three, iu

• yes, i will live silently as death / no, i will turn everything inside out

epitaph, hippo campus

• i'm a cryptic writer / i'm an ignorant fool / i'm a poor excuse for poetry / trying to play it cool

cop car, mitski

• i am cruel / i am gentle / i can make you laugh
