PROMPTS FROM "VIDE NOIR" BY LORD HURON
* assorted lines from the 2018 album, adjust as necessary
tell me, how does a man change the universe?
will i ever be forgiven for the crime of my life?
if i lost you, i think i would die.
was everything you said just a lie?
now i know that i can't lift an old curse.
i had a dream that you came to me.
you wore nothing more than your raven hair.
you pulled me from a nightmare.
take me out of this place.
i've come for you, my love.
don't you know you're my everything?
i could use a few laughs and a couple of songs.
so what if i never come back again?
i am only an aimless soul.
where can you go when it's all in your head?
these are the last words that i ever said.
will the curse be reversed if i say it backwards?
you can't crawl back without making a choice.
you cheated death and sealed your fate.
put on your new dress tonight.
you told me you're never gonna die.
how am i supposed to sleep through the night?
i can't forget that look in your eye.
the life i've lived is only dust.
don't know what to believe, but i know i'm alive.
i was nearly destroyed when i looked in your eyes.
i came back from the edge.
i lie awake and say your name into the night.
i guess she's gone for good.
she went west to chase her dreams.
she took my money, but she didn't take me.
why go wander unknown worlds?
everything comes and goes.
heaven won't let me in. i don't know why.
i haven't got a thing to lose.
i quit my job and packed my car.
are you dead or are you alive?
i have traced them thousands of times.
all my days are filled with mourning.
i don't care if i live or die.
i will never ever love another one the way i loved her.
i came to have my fortune told.
i gotta get away from here.
i'm alive for now but good as dead.
then i won't sit around and wait.
gone are the days of laughter and love.
i scream and shout like this just to prove to the world that i still exist.
i don't believe in life, and i won't believe in death 'til i die.
i will wait by the river in the light of the moon.
someday i'll be dead and gone.
i won't be forgiven for what i've done.
if i can't change the weather, maybe i can change your mind.
if we can't be together, what's the point of life?
baby, i didn't mean the things i said.
i'm a fool. i'm just a man.
if i can't touch your body, can i touch the sky?
can i cross beyond that line?
will i find you when the night is over?
i've been searching high and low.
by the stars above, i know we were in love.
i feel the weather change.
will i hold you when the night is over?
