- demon host timber timbre: Oh reverend, please, can I chew your ear? I have become what I most fear, and I know there's no such thing as ghosts, but I have seen the demon host.
- all the good that won't come out rilo kiley : I do this thing where I think I'm real sick, but I won't go to the doctor to find out about it 'cause they make you stay real still in a real small space as they chart up your insides and put them on display. They'd see all of it, all of me, all of it. All the good that won't come out of me and all the stupid little lies I hide behind. It's such a big mistake, lying here in your warm embrace.
- sun bleached flies ethel cain: What I wouldn't give to be in church this Sunday listening to the choir so heartfelt, all singing: "God loves you, but not enough to save you so baby girl, good luck taking care of yourself."
- i'm your man mitski: You're an angel, I'm a dog. Or you're a dog, and I'm your man. You believe me like a god, I destroy you like I am. I'm sorry I'm the one you love. No one will ever love me like you again. So, when you leave me, I should die. I deserve it, don't I?
- under the table fiona apple: I'd like to buy you a pair of pillow-soled hiking boots to help you with your climb. Or rather to help the bodies that you step over, along your route, so they won't hurt like mine.
- crucify tori amos: Got a kick for a dog, begging' for love. I gotta have my suffering so that I can have my cross. I know a cat named Easter, he says, "Will you ever learn? You're just an empty cage, girl, if you kill the bird."
- a house in nebraska ethel cain: Your mama calls me sometimes to see if I'm doing well. And I'd lie to her and say that I'm doing fine when, really, I'd kill myself to hold you one more time. And it hurts to miss you, but it's worse to know that I'm the reason you won't come home.
- a better son/daughter rilo kiley: And sometimes when you're on, you're really fucking on, and your friends sing along and they love you. But the lows are so extreme that the good feels fucking cheap, and it teases you for weeks in its absence. But you'll fight, and you'll make it through. You'll fake it if you have to, and you'll show up to work with a smile. You'll be better, and you'll be smarter. More grown up, and a better daughter or son and a real good friend."
- red red red fiona apple: I don't understand about diamonds and why men buy them. What's so impressive about a diamond, except the mining? But it's dangerous work trying to get you, too, and I think if I didn't have to kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill myself doing it maybe I wouldn't think so much of you.
- twisted johanna warren: I will not be displaced by how much I love you. Can't let myself take second place, no matter how much I want to. I trusted you because I thought we had a deal. Tell me what's your most twisted fantasy? Let's make it real, shall we? You tell lies to save face. It's not working for you. Put yourself in my place and try to adore you.
- fragrant is my many flower'd crown lingua ignota: What will you say of the bond we had tender comrade? For I have learned all men are brothers and brothers only love each other.
- kettering the antlers: But something kept me standing by that hospital bed. I should have quit, but instead, I took care of you. You made me sleep and uneven, and I didn't believe them when they told me that there was no saving you.
- heavy balloon fiona apple: People like us get so heavy and so lost sometimes, so lost and so heavy that the bottom is the only place we can find. You get dragged down, down to the same spot enough times in a row, the bottom begins to feel like the only safe place that you know.
- class of 2013 mitski: Mom, would you wash my back? This once, and then we can forget and I'll leave what I'm chasing for the other girls to pursue. Mom, am I still young? Can I dream for a few months more?
