lyric starters based off a few of my favorite songs from bad omens’ the death of peace of mind.

take me first

“  it’s too late to turn back now  ”

“  oh god, i tried but i don’t know how  ”

“  i wanna be someone you used to hate  ”

“  i went too far, now we can’t restart  ”

“  i know i’m gonna die in this bed i made  ”

“  i’m drowning in a dream that i can’t escape  ”

“  if i could escape it, i’d trade in the blame  ”

“  you can take it if it doesn’t take me first  ”

“  i lie to myself like it’s not too late  ”

“  convinced the past can still be changed  ”

“  we know it’s gone, but i can’t move on  ”

“  i wanna rewind, but it just replays  ”

bad decisions

“  i’m taking it slowly  ”

“  you’d never know how quick it gets lonely here at the top  ”

“  the morals i’m holding, you know they’re gone  ”

“  no god, no religion. just bad decisions  ”

“  you can be all i got, what’s the difference?  ”

“  hennessy and a lot of bad decisions  ”

“  all i know is bad decisions  ”

“  i’m only human, but i’m afraid i may never learn from my mistakes  ”

“  don’t know what i’m doing, but that’s okay  ”

“  bitter ends to the night, i’m along for the ride  ”

“  everything has a price  ”

the death of peace of mind

“  i made another mistake, i thought i could change  ”

“  thought i could make it out  ”

“  promises break, need to hear you say you’re gonna keep it now  ”

“  i miss the way you say my name  ”

“  will we both go home alive?  ”

“  love’s the death of peace of mind  ”

“  for granted, in vain, i took everything i ever cared about  ”

“  will we both be satisfied?  ”

“  you come and go in waves swallowing everything  ”

“  are you satisfied?  ”

miracle

“  one look at your eyes and i cave in  ”

“  one taste of the life, now i crave it  ”

“  it’s not too late to die for a reason  ”

“  i wanted to dress a blade up in red with the both of our necks  ”

“  nevertheless, i’m fucking depressed  ”

“  i hide it with sex and drink till it’s fatal, it’s so fucking painful  ”

“  so give me something beautiful  ”

“  i need another miracle, i need some help  ”

“  who’s left when we’re all for the taking?  ”

“  i love you to death, but i’m drowning  ”

“  trouble tends to follow me  ”

“  i need some fucking help  ”

“  i didn’t care, now i’m fucking scared  ”

somebody else

“  you said enough, you never loved  ”

“  i gotta go, gotta run  ”

“  you don’t want me the way i want you  ”

“  i picked you up when you fell  ”

“  you’re lost, but i couldn’t tell  ”

“  fooled me and you did it well  ”

“  thought you were somebody else  ”

“  no way to right these wrongs  ”

“  it might just cost something in the millions  ”

“  i know that i can’t resist  ”

“  how can you live with yourself?  ”

“  i know we said that sex isn’t love, but it seems like enough for us  ”

starters from yoshikazu takeuchi’s novel perfect blue: complete metamorphosis.  trigger warnings: mentions of stalking, murder, gore.

“  of all the times to catch a cold, why now?  ”

“  would you like me to bring you some hot coffee?  ”

“  i heard you’re feeling under the weather  ”

“  but that’s not all that’s bothering me  —  i got a strange call last night  ”

“  who are you? what are you doing here?  ”

“  have you thought about it? will you do it?  ”

“  if you’ve got something else to do, that’s all right, but i have something i’d like to talk to you about  ”

“  you get used to it after a while, and it stops being impressive  ”

“  you like anime too, don’t you?  ”

“  these days, an idol can’t survive on just being cute  ”

“  if there’s something you want to say, you can say it  ”

“  please don’t be mad at me when i tell you this  ”

“  if i worried about that sort of thing, i’d never be able to do anything  ”

“  some of your fans don’t like the idea of you changing your image  ”

“  who cares about what those fans think?  ”

“  i was wrong for thinking to keep it to myself. i hope you can forgive me  ”

“  if he shows up in front of me, i’ll beat the living daylights out of him  ”

“  do you think we should notify the police?  ”

“  there’s so many freaks and weirdos these days  ”

“  speaking of which, they never found the guy who killed that girl  ”

“  who the hell goes around cutting off people’s skin, anyway?  ”

“  fans like these aren’t fans at all. true fans would want to see the idol grow  ”

“  tomorrow’s the first day of your photoshoot, right?  ”

“  this has gone too far now. we need to inform the police  ”

“  i thought you would never betray me  ”

“  you’re cute no matter what you’re wearing  ”

“  what were you doing outside that apartment?  ”

“  i’ll ask you one more time. who are you?  ”

“  what happened to you? you’re bleeding  ”

“  would you shut up already? how many times are you going to ask that?  ”

“  surely i would never try to sabotage someone i admire  ”

“  i still can’t believe you’re doing the idol thing  ”

“  i didn’t call you here for the sex, you know  ”

“  just who the hell do you think you are talking like that?  ”

lyric starters based off a few of my favorite songs from bad omens’ the death of peace of mind.

who are you?

“  i think i’m dreaming  ”

“  take off all of your clothes, hold me till we’re frozen  ”

“  you said we got nothing in common. too bad never even got started  ”

“  i asked for more than i could take with nothing left to give  ”

“  every day it’s all the same. i don’t wanna play your games  ”

“  if you wanna know, it depends who’s asking  ”

“  i’ve been finally catching up on years of sleep the last few weeks  ”

“  falling outta love with you and me, and now it’s too late to save it  ”

nowhere to go

“  why’s this always gotta happen to me? i should have known  ”

“  i never fail to learn from mistakes  ”

“  hear me out, i’m sorry, but i’m a little less than sold  ”

“  i’ve been around, heard all the stories you said you never told  ”

“  you’re used to speaking in tongues to feel like you’re in control  ”

“  now you’ve got nowhere to run, now you’ve got nowhere to go  ”

“  i  feel my focus fading away  ”

“  running from the man that i used to be, but i’m too slow  ”

“  tell me what’s mine and tell me what’s yours  ”

“  i never got a say, never got a choice  ”

“  i never ever got a fucking say  ”

the grey

“  evened the scores, then it all falls apart  ”

“  with every step forward, put a little more sword in your heart  ”

“  i’m afraid of what i might say if you ask  ”

“  gave you way too many chances, you ran through ‘em all  ”

“  got everything i could want, but it wasn’t enough  ”

“  nobody left for me to talk to, nobody left to call  ”

“  there’s not another way, don’t let me go  ”

“  i’ll make the same mistakes  ”

“  i’ll never know who i was before i faded away  ”

“  lying is hard and the truth comes out anyway  ”

“  you’re going way too far, gonna drop dead at this rate  ”

“  i did it to myself, tried to be someone else  ”

“  i let it tear me down, and i’ll never be the same  ”

“  you didn’t notice till i finally got away  ”

just pretend

“  i’m not afraid of the war you’ve come to wage against my sins  ”

“  i’m not okay but i can try my best to just pretend  ”

“  will you wait me out? or will you drown me out?  ”

“  i can wait for you at the bottom  ”

“  i can wait for years if i gotta  ”

“  heaven knows i ain’t getting over you  ”

“  i know the pain that you hide behind the smile on your face  ”

“  not a day goes by that i don’t think i feel the same  ”

“  we will make amends, till then i’ll just pretend  ”

“  stay till morning  ”

“  way down, would you say i’m worthy?  ”

like a villain

“  we are not the same, we’re different  ”

“  you need a new clean slate without the dents  ”

“  when you look into the mirror, are you even there?  ”

“  i don’t wanna know all your secrets ‘cause i’ll tell  ”

“  it’s hard enough being alone with myself  ”

“  i don’t know how long i’ll be holding on  ”

“  i know you tried your hardest, i know that you meant well ”

“  i know your act is staged, yet you pretend  ”

“  i think you’ve overstayed your welcome  ”

“  get the fuck away, don’t come again  ”
