I've blown apart my life for you / And bodies hit the floor for you / And break me, shake me, devastate me / Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong / I don't love you, I just love the bomb
If I was a liar, I would call you my friend / Let's hope the feeling's mutual in the end / Symbiosis, can we keep it how it was? / Now the levee's broken, I want more / Cause I'm a greedy pig / I'm gonna get my fill / I'm gonna keep my eyes on the prize / And I'll suck you dry, I will / I'm no pariah but I'll try to pretend / And hope you keep your distance now and then
When we hid out behind the risers at the high school / Working bitter calculations with a slide rule / The grim particulars of poisoning the swimming pool / The way you looked me in the eye, ready to die / We were becoming what we are / Collapsing stars
They call him Hermit the Frog / He's looking for a dog / Did you find your bitch in me? / Oh, you're abominable socially / You're just a little bit too much like me!
5. From A Mountain In The Middle Of The Cabins
Go spin circles for me / Wound relentlessly around the words we used to sling / Oh, such torturous things / Always chewing up the only ones I ever mean / If you're going, then go / Go, go, go
There was no way out / The only way out was to give in / When there's no way out / The only way out is to give in / How I love to / How I love to / How I love to give in
7. mErcy (translation by asheinglee)
Show me the haunting corruption of the darkness / Teach me the ways of the forbidden fruit / The infection of this awful light wont leave me / So hold me in your arms and show me the path to the Abyss / Show No mErcy! / Starting Corruption / Kill pUrity! / Burn it from existence / Show no mErcy! / Give into the darkness / Leave sAnIty! / It's your worst nightmare / Show me No mErcy!
It feels so good, it feels so good / And right outside the door, nobody knows / They're right outside the door and they don't know / How it feels so good, it feels so good
9. Southwood Plantation Road
I am not gonna lose you / We are gonna stay married / In this house like a Louisiana graveyard / Where nothing stays buried / On Southwood Plantation Road / Where the dead will walk again / Put on their Sunday best / And mingle with unsuspecting Christian men
I stood at the altar, and worshiped a stranger / Baptized in the water, and absolved of my pain / I thought you were holy, I thought you could save me / I gave you my future, and you don’t know my name
11. Bird Balloons (Remastered)
I'm a ghost and you all know it / I'm singing songs and I ain't slowing / It was a fragile thing and I goddamn dropped it / I picked the pieces up and put them in my pocket
12. Dear Arkansas Daughter
You with the dark curls, you with the watercolor eyes / You who bares all your teeth in every smile / Says "I can always hear you sing, I wanna hear you speak to me" / While a stranger braids my hair back out on the street / And in your dreams we are shooting at snakes / And while you were asleep, I was surely awake
It seemed like everyone I knew was dying / I looked in the mirror and I was on fire / Somebody yelled out "Hey, stop, drop, and roll!" / I said "That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul" / That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul / You swallow hard and you bottle it up / Try to pretend you're a half full cup / Believe what they're feeding, you're eating it up / While I'm reading books about how they're corrupt / I'm reading books about how they're corrupt / He says he's protecting us but he's a liar / I know deep down that it's down to the wire / My heart will stop if I put out the fire
You build a nest of yellow yarn / You hope to God the yellowed yarn / Is soft enough to break your fall / Should you fall, should you fall
And I want a love that falls as fast / As a body from the balcony, and / I want a kiss like my heart is chasing it down / I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat / Though I don't know what I'm waiting for / I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
I'm starting to learn I may never be free / But though I may never be free / Fuck you and your money / I'm tired of your money / And I sit on the curb cause it's the prettiest night / With no one else in sight / You know I wore this dress for you / These killer heels for you
I don't care if I don't live to see another day / I love you in the worst way / I love you and I hate you and I'm losing my mind / And you tell me all the time that this will pass and that I'm gonna be fine / We're such a mess together, you make me lose my temper / You're the only one who's making me come / To my sinful senses / I'll never love anyone the same / I'll never feel ashamed of using you for pleasure
You can tell from the glass on the floor / And the strings that are breaking / And I keep on breaking more / And it looks like I am shaking / But it's just the temperature / Then again, if it were any colder I could disengage / If I were any older I would act my age / But I don't think that you'd believe me / It's not the way I'm meant to be / It's just the way the operation made me
Cause I need somebody to remember my name / After all that I can do for them is done / I need someone to remember me / I need something bigger then the sky / Hold it in my arms and know its mine / Just how many stars will I need to hang around me / To finally call it heaven?
You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers (it's not worth it, Achilles) / More poignant than fame or the taste of another (don't listen, Achilles) / But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker (you're worth more, Achilles) / You will not be more than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat) / You want my opinion, my opinion you've got (no one asked your opinion) / You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts (no one asked for your thoughts) / Be done with this now and jump off the roof (be done with this now and get off the roof) / Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you
Had we crashed into the ocean / Had we perished in the sea / Had the mountain held us captive in his jacket, well God forbid / I'd have been fine with that / Cause it would have saved me, yes it would have saved me / It would have saved me, yes it would have saved me / It would have saved me, yes it would have saved me / It would have saved me from the look that you gave / When you left
22. God-ish (will stetson cover)
That's God-ish baby, face it / Yeah it's God-ish either way / I want you, want you / IQ falling, pouring down the drain / So evil-hearted baby / Well I'm evil anyway / I hate you, hate you, get out of the way
Mary is the girl who leaves you to rot / she says "I am real and you are not"
24. Abnormality Dancing Girl (cover by trickle)
Come look at my face, come and give me your praise / Erase my old name and throw it all away / Metamorphosis takes just a couple of days / I'll take off everything and be your one and only / Look at me on the stage, and see how I sway / How I step to the beat, tapping one, two, three / And no, I'm not on a string, I'm dancing so free / I'm, I'm, I'm breaking!
How do I meet the strangest girls? / They always seem to find me / Remember that time, way back when I kissed a girl who ate her male friends? / Now only dogs follow me / I bite at the hand that feeds me / Scratch at the face that eats me / Some kind of animal cannibal / Made an impression of me
All I did was try my best / This the kind of thanks I get? / Unrelentlessly upset / They say these are the golden years / But I wish I could disappear / Ego crush is so severe / God, it's brutal out here
You know better, babe, you know better, babe / Than to look at it, look at it like that / You know better, babe, you know better, babe / Than to talk to it, talk to it like that / Don't give it a hand, offer it a soul / Honey, make this easy / Leave it to the land, this is what it knows / Honey, that's how it sleeps / Don't let it in with no intention to keep it / Jesus Christ, don't be kind to it / Honey, don't feed it, it will come back
I'll set fire to the whole place / I don't even care about our house / It's not the same in here since he left anyways / Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down / Always said I was a good kid / Always said I had a way with words / Never knew I could be speechless / Don't know how I'll ever break this curse / Now the world is only white noise / Frequencies that I can't understand / I can't be bothered with the teachers / Always trying to shape the way I act
Do any of you know what it's like to walk through the fire? / Know how to fight the crushing desire? / Go with a knife to do what's required? / I'm already dead since you got in my head!
Arsonist burning down the world to feel it's heat / The arsonist doesn't feel the embers on his feet / And arsonist, your humans starter kit came incomplete / My apologies, arsonist, you loved me
And every time I cry, it's about you / And every time I laugh, it's for you, too / So do your little dance around my room / I know I'm gonna join you soon
I'm the same as you, I have nothing / I am empty too in the right way / We don't care that no one will miss us / We don't need their blame or forgiveness
33. My Body's Made Of Crushed Little Stars
I better ace that interview / I better ace that interview / I should tell them that I'm not afraid to die / I better ace that interview / I work better under a deadline / I work better under a deadline / I pick an age when I'm gonna disappear / Until then, I can try again / Until then, I can try again / Kill me, Jerusalem / Kill me, Jerusalem / Kill me, Jerusalem / Go and kill me
Oh, how could anyone not love the terrible things you do? / Oh, how could anyone not want to try and help you? / In Bermondsey in Burberry, you held me at the barricade / The pigs arrived with tear gas / And I wept at the mistakes we made / We stalked the streets like animals / And danced as windows shattered / For the island, for the thrill of it, for everything that mattered / Oh, how could anyone not want to rip it all apart? / Oh, how could anyone not love your cold, black heart?
35. Caroline, Please Kill Me
Caroline, I love you more than I ever wanted / I don't want you, I don't want you to go away / Caroline, your eyes are dead like outer space / And I know that I am boring, I can read it in your face / Caroline, please, kill me.
A playlist for my beloved Monokuma Maid from Danganronpa Zero! Inspired by @danggirlronpa 's Ryoko/MonoMaid playlist and made for @dr0-month (to listen to when I wrote my MonoMaid entries). Let's just chalk this up as a bonus for day 7 ("monokuma"), lol— a playlist for my dearest MonoMaid, with hints of Ryouko/MonoMaid and Junko/MonoMaid 💕 and vague illusions to both Chiaki and Hajime/Izuru cause I really can't help myself 😔 this is a general playlist so it's not specifically tied to any fic, but I like to think re: Achilles Come Down, the positive voice urging MonoMaid to not jump is the memory of Chiaki, and the one telling her to jump is the memory of Junko.... in general I also really like Chiaki/MonoMaid so there's some even vaguer hints of that ship in here. If you squint really hard. The hints of Izuru/Hajime I feel come out with songs like Fire, where someone else is feeding into/buying into HPA's lie — it's vague enough it could also be about Sato or Natsumi, but for a lot of those I was definitely envoking the idea of Hajime/Izuru in my head lol.
Art for the playlist comes from @princescar (if you are not cool with your art being used for this just tell me and I'll switch it to something else!!) which you can fine here.
