Lyrics from the Mitski album. Change as needed.

IN A LAKE.

"I'd never live in a small town."

"I've made too many mistakes."

"In a big city, you can start over."

"Everywhere you go makes your heart ache when you've done enough walks of shame."

"Some days, you just go the long way to stay off of memory lane."

"I've tried very hard to be good."

"When people think you're bad, people act worse."

WHERE'S MY PHONE?

"Where did I go?"

"I just want my mind to be a clear glass, clear glass with nothing in my head."

"I keep thinking 'surely, somebody will save me' - at every turn, I learn that no one will."

"I'll stay out until my mind is like a clear glass."

"I will float until my mind is like a clear wax."

CATS.

"I won't leave you, 'cause I still love you."

"It's up to you, if you choose to go."

"You say it's hard, but it feels simple to me."

"I've been trying to stop trying to be someone you'd still like."

"They're out following their heart's delight."

IF I LEAVE.

"If I leave, somebody else will love you."

"Nobody else could forgive me quite as often as you."

"None of my friends know."

"Nobody else could see me quite as clearly as you."

"I've only let you know."

"It's been dark the whole way."

"How could I lose you?"

"I couldn't lose you."

"Who else could love me quite as kindly as you?"

DEAD WOMEN.

"Would you like me better if I'd died, so you could tell my story the way it ought to be?"

"Rifle through it all, fill the blanks with what you need."

"If I'd died willing, you'd have taken it nice."

"When you find my love beside me, choke him dead for havin' me."

"While I dream of flying, stab me twenty-seven times."

"She gave her life so we could have her in our dreams."

"She gave her life so we can fuck her as we please."

INSTEAD OF HERE.

"Are you in there, miss?"

"I'm not here, I'm where nobody can reach."

"I'm done after this."

"She said she wished I'd known that I'm still just a kid."

"Lie down in the dirt."

"Is this what it's worth?"

"I'll be opening my box of old friend misery, my secret treat."

"I won't be here, I'll be where nobody can reach."

I'LL CHANGE FOR YOU.

"How could I let our love die?"

"You're the only other keeper of my most precious memories."

"Yeah, I've been drinking, why's that mean I can't call about you and me?"

"I'll do anything for you to love me again."

"If you don't like me now, I will change for you."

"Bars, such magic places - you can be with other people without having anyone at all."

RULES.

"I'll be dressed like your best idea."

"You'll be gentle."

"You will ruin me."

"I'm nobody's anyone anymore."

"I'm only crying because it feels good."

"I will be somebody else."

"Please pretend that you don't see how I'm no longer there behind my eyes."

THAT WHITE CAT.

"It's supposed to be my house, but I guess now it's his house."

"Things will leave you - they get broken, they get lost."

"The only thing you can trust is what you've lived through."

"How 'bout when I die? What do you hold onto?"

CHARON'S OBOL.

"That's when she first saw them, out the kitchen window right at twelve-o-clock."

"She almost was one of the girls who died in that house."

"She took it on to start a new life."

"Maybe with enough time tending to that ground, she can heal the heart of that house."

LIGHTNING.

"We've been waiting to be born again."

"When I die, could I come back as rain?"

"If I'm dark, all the better to reflect the moonlight."

"If I mourn, all the better to behold the sunrise."

MAY THESE NOISES STARTLE YOU IN YOUR SLEEP TONIGHT.

"If you wanted to set me free, why the fuck wouldn't you say something?"

"May the poison set me free."

"Please don't abandon me."

"This is just me, disguised as me."

"I'm the killer who burned your home."

"What the fuck is this home?"

HELL ABOVE.

"Cannot spend another night in this home."

"The consequence is if I leave, I'm alone."

"What's the difference when you beg for love?"

"This is a wasteland, my only retreat."

"With heaven above you, there's hell over me."

"We fell in love, and now we're both alone."

"I don't need any more friends."

"We'll burn it down to the end."

"And there for a second, I feel free."

"I know it's hard, but who are you to fall apart on me?"

"You said 'what about us?' - well, what about me?"

"Don't let me jump, don't let me fall."

A MATCH INTO WATER.

"I still think you're beautiful."

"I don't ever wanna lose my best friend."

"God, you monster!"

"Bring her back or take me with her!"

"Tear it down, break the barricades!"

"It feels like I'm on fire."

"Wake up, I know you can hear me."

"Make me a promise here tonight."

"I never want it to be this way."

"When it's sudden death, we fight back."

"You traitor!"

"I will never be taken for granted again."

"I know that you're in pain."

"If we die at the same time, does it still scare you?"

"Oh my god, we're not gonna make it."

"She's mine! You stay away from her, it's not her time!"

KING FOR A DAY.

"Dare me to jump off of this Jersey bridge?"

"Bet you never had a Friday night like this."

"Please, won't you push me for the last time?"

"Let's scream until there's nothing left."

"I don't want this anymore."

"The thought of you is no fucking fun."

"You want a martyr? I'll be one!"

"Enough's enough, we're done."

"I don't wanna feel a thing anymore."

"I'm tired of begging for the things that I want."

"The thing I think I love will surely bring me pain."

"You make me sick."

"We'll start a new revolution now."

"Come at me, now this is war!"

"I was just a product of the street youth rage."

"I know you well, but this ain't a game."

"Dying is a game, so close your eyes and rest in peace."

BULLS IN THE BRONX.

"I count your heartbeats before you sleep."

"I really hope you enjoy the show."

"For me, it's just a bad day."

"You need people like me to fail."

"Maybe we're just having too much fun."

"Maybe you can't handle yourself."

"I don't know where I'm going to sleep tonight."

"Oh, don't you threaten me with a good time."

"I'm sorry, I can't see that you truly love me."

"I've been having this dream that we can fly, so maybe if we never wake up we can see the sky."

"Please, don't take this out on me."

"You're the only thing that's keeping me alive."

"I would rather end it all tonight."

"If I mean anything to you, I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind."

"We're about to miss everything."

PROPS & MAYHEM.

"Self-medicate while they sleep."

"We've got to kill everything before the night gets wasted."

"Maybe it seems so strange, but we don't even stress at all."

"We've got poison in our well."

"Come at me with everything you've got."

"I'm gonna light up this place and die in beautiful stars tonight."

"Does it even make a difference?"

"When I'm sober, I feel pain."

"Dance if it moves you."

"Jump in the fire if it burns you."

"Drown me in the flames."

"I love the way you swing the blade at everything in sight."

"Separate me from my own two hands, I've killed so many times."

"Baby, please come home, I need you right now."

"I'm crying underwater so you don't hear a sound."

"How do you scream when there's no one around?"

TANGLED IN THE GREAT ESCAPE.

"Don't you say I had a part of it."

"They all accept the lie."

"Bury what you are."

"Promise you won't leave me."

"I know you're tortured within."

"Your eyes look hungry again."

"I'll never wander, my friend."

"Am I the only one that thinks that you should stay alive?"

"I let you down."

"I never meant to be your pain."

"What have I become?"

"Show me the way back home."

"This is not what I want, but it's now what I need."

"Can I just have one more taste?"

"I never meant to hurt nobody."

"I only meant to do this to myself."

I'M LOW ON GAS AND YOU NEED A JACKET.

"Tried to wash you down with something strong."

"Keep in happiness and torture me."

"Let's go in style."

"Darling, it's cold outside."

"Slow conversations with a gun mean more than I've ever said to anyone."

"Darling, let's go inside, it'll be alright."

"Last night, you said you ended up in Palm Springs dancing on tables."

"Almost fought some bitch at the club."

"Well, fuck, what, am I supposed to be impressed?"

"You're just another set of bones to lay to rest."

"I guess it's time to say goodnight."

"I will soon forget the color of your eyes, and you will forget mine."

THE FIRST PUNCH.

"Where you from, fool?"

"This world is about to change."

"This will be a night we won't forget."

"Speak slow now, I don't wanna miss when you cry."

"It's good enough to make me wanna fall in love."

"Why can't we just be friends?"

"It's half of the fun to see you throw the first punch."

"It's such a shame you had to go and run your mouth."

"Life is what you make it, but at least I've got real friends."

"Can you hear me now that I'm a big star?"

"Fuck you and your new love for yourself, it don't mean shit."

"I would kill just to feel less invisible."

"Live it up, baby, don't look down."

"Now it's your turn to run!"

ONE HUNDRED SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.

"I can't wait to see your brilliant face light up the room."

"I got something to tell you and it just can't wait."

"You're leaving me just when I thought you were mine."

"Don't tell your other man, I got one hell of a plan."

"There is a beast in my heart and he won't let you leave alive."

"Nightmares no longer wait for sleep."

"We will feast together 'til the bones are gone."

"Do you still love me? I am dying to know."

"Out of sight, out of mind, I was never even there."

"This is the price you'll pay."

"Don't you forget what we had."

"It's like I was never even there."

STAINED GLASS EYES AND COLORFUL TEARS.

"I changed your mind and ended up here."

"Fine, maybe I'll pretend right now."

"Oh my god, this is paradise."

"She holds them down while I destroy the world."

"She doesn't seem to care."

"Now we live like we should."

HOLD ON TILL MAY.

"Did you search for me?"

"I've been up here so long, I'm going crazy."

"I'll put your body to the test with mine."

"This love is out of control."

"Don't be crazy, now, of course you can stay here."

"Big deal, I guess you're official."

"I know what it's like to feel burned out."

"We've all been there sometimes."

"I'll make you feel beautiful once again."

"If I were you, I'd put that away."

"You're just wasted and thinking 'bout the past again."

"Darling, you'll be okay."

"If you were me, you'd do the same."

"I can't take anymore!"
