“ touch me and slip away. ”

“ i can’t help feeling out of place. ”

“ i can’t function, oh my mistake. ”

“ thought you were someone i once knew. ” 

“ in time i will come to see it for how it really was. ”

“ and maybe i was only seconds away, but it doesn’t matter now. ”

“ there’s light years ahead of me. ”

“ i was light years ahead of me. ”

“ in time i will come to love it for how it really was. ”

“ all this hypothetical thinking is digging me down. ”

love, death, distraction

“ how do i say all i want just falls away? ”

“ the  biggest  sinner  is  obvs  the  winner. ”

“ she  who  had  the  son  takes  number  one. ”

“ i’m  about  to  win  this  competition. ”

“ the  time  has  come  for  you  to  select  your  bride ! ” 

“  i  guess  you  already  know  what  happened  next. ”

“ how  could  anyone  overcome  a  fate  as  devastating ? ” 

“ that  doesn’t  sound  difficult  at  all. ” 

“ oh  well ,  back  to  the  palace ! ” 

“ if  that  doesn’t  capture  the  audience's  hearts  than i  don’t  know  what  will. ” 

“ I  LOST  MY  HEAD ! ” 

“ your  lives  sounded  terrible … and  your  songs. ” 

“ being  rejected  for  your  looks  legitimately  sounds  really  rough … i  wouldn’t  know  anything  about  that. ” 

“ i  can’t  even  begin  to  think  of  how  i’m  going  to  compete  with  you  all … oh  wait ,  like  this. ”

“ i  was  literally  shipped  over  from  a  foreign  country ,  not  knowing  a  single  word  of  english  to  marry  some  random  dude. ” 

“ nice  neck ,  by  the  way. ” 

“ oh  boo  hoo !  baby  [name]  had  the  chickenpox  and  you  weren’t  there  to  hold  her  hand.  ya  know ,  it’s  funny  because  when  i  wanted  to  hold  my  newborn  son ,  i  died ! ” 

“ guys  i  have  the  plague ! ” 

“ it’s  time  to  decide  who  won ! ” 

“ oh !  i’m  [name].  i  draw  the  line  in  arbitrary  places. ”

“ i’ll  tell  you  a  story.  take  a  seat. ” 

“ gold  star  for  [name]. ”  

“ i  had  to  keep  finding  new  husbands  to  avoid  being  ostracised. ” 

“ he  seemed  like  he  might  stick  around  for  awhile  and ,  you guessed  it ,  he  turned  out  to  be  the  love  of  my  life.  we  had  this  plan  to  get  married , actually. ” 

“ i  had  to  write  a  letter  to  [name] … ending  things. ” 

“ wait … i  don’t  get  it. ” 

“ when  we  get  together  as  a  group ,  everyone  notices  that  [name]  can’t  dance. ” 

“ yeah … i  read. ”
