dialogue prompts from boygeniusâs 2023 album.
give me everything youâve got.
iâll take what i can get.
i want to hear your story and be a part of it.
who would i be without you, without them?
i want you to hear my story and be a part of it.
i just want to know who broke your nose.
if it isnât love, then what the fuck is it?
wish i wasnât so tired.
when you wake up, iâll be gone again.
may i please have twenty dollars?
i can feel myself becoming someone only you could want.
iâm sorry, baby. you know how i get when iâm wrong.
i can feel myself becoming somebody iâm not.
i canât hide from you like i hide from myself.
i remember who i am when iâm with you.
your love is tough, your love is tried and true blue.
i came prepared for absolution if youâd only ask.
i take some offense when you say, âno regretsâ.
iâm trying to forget about it.
now i have to act like i canât read your mind.
i ask you how youâre doing and i let you lie.
we donât have to talk about it.
iâll pretend being with you doesnât feel like drowning.
i donât know why i am the way i am.
not strong enough to be your man.
i might like you less now that you know me so well.
i never thought youâd happen to me.
will you be a satanist with me?
will you be an anarchist with me?
will you be a nihilist with me?
you could absolutely break my heart.
i feel crazy in ways i never say.
will you still love me if it turns out iâm insane?
it doesnât have to be like that.
if you rewrite your life, may i still play a part?
in the next one, will you find me?
there is something about you that i will always recognize.
i think that youâre special.
you told me once that iâm selfish.
i love you. i donât know why.
youâre not special, youâre evil.
you donât get to tell me to calm down.
you make me feel like an equal.
iâm better than you and you should know that by now.
iâm ready to walk into my room without looking for you.
