“Put on your war paint”

“You are a brick tied to me that’s dragging me down”

“I’ll burn you to the ground”

“We can take the world back”

“Doesn’t it feel like our time is running out?”

“No, I think it looked a little better on me”

“You broke our spirit”

“The war is won”

“Can’t be sure when they’ve hit their mark”

“I’m just dreaming of tearing you apart”

“I’m in the details with the devil”

“The world can never get me on my level”

“I’m a young lover’s rage”

“I’ve got the scars from tomorrow”

“You’re the antidote to everything except for me”

“My childhood spat back out the monster that you see”

“I don’t know where you’re going but do you got room for one more troubled soul?”

“I don’t know where I’m going but I don’t think I’m coming home”

“I’ll check in tomorrow if I don’t wake up dead”

“Let’s be alone together”

“We could stay young forever”

“You cut me off”

“It’s not my fault, I’m a maniac”

“Do you wanna feel beautiful?”

“My heart is like a stallion”

“This is the road to ruin”

“I’m here to collect your hearts”

“I don’t believe a word you say but I can’t stop listening”

“My old friends become exes again”

“Where did the party go?”

“I know I expect too much”

“You know I only wanted fun then you got me all fucked up on love”

“You and me are the difference between real love and the love on TV”

“My old aches become new again”

“So let’s fade away together one dream at a time”

“See how dirty I can get them”

“Anything you say can and will be held against you, so only say my name”

“It will be held against you”

“I’d trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday”

“I know I’m bad news”

“I saved it all for you”

“I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way”

“Letting people down is my thing”

“This town ain’t big enough for two of us”

“I don’t have the right name”

“I have twice the heart”

“I’m here to give you all my love”

“Did you get dressed up?”

“I can’t stop it when there’s chemicals keeping us together”

“How the mighty fall”

“How the mighty fall in love”

“Your crooked love is just a pyramid scheme”

“I’m dizzy on dreams”

“If you ask me two’s a whole lot lonelier than one”

“We should have left our love in the gutter where we found it”

“You think your only crime is that you got caught”

“It’s getting clear”

“You’re never coming clean”

“I’ll lock you up inside and swallow the key”

“I know you said not to call unless I’m dying”

“I just hope that when you see me I’m not see-through”

“I’m either fuckin’ or workin”

“I’m a dick, girl/boy/baby, addicted to you”

“I know I’m the one you want to forget”

“Cue all the love to leave my heart”

“It’s time for me to fall apart”

“Now you’re gone but I’ll be okay”

“Maybe I’ll burn a little brighter tonight”

“I miss missing you now and then”

“Sometimes before it gets better the darkness gets bigger”

“The person that you’d take a bullet for is behind the trigger”

“We’re fading fast”

“Give me your filth”

“Make it rough”

“Let me let me trash your love”

“I am the best you’ll never have”

“I wanna see your animal side”

“I need your broken promises”

“I want the guts and glory”

“Don’t take love off the table yet”

“We are alive”

“Oh there you go; undress to impress”

“You can wear the crown but you’re no princess”

“Let’s get you wasted and alone”

“We’re gonna die”

“It’s just a matter of time”

“I’m either gone in an instant or here ‘til the bitter end”

“What I’ve got will make you feel more alive”

“I’ll be your favorite drug”

“We’re the beginning of the end”

“It’s all over now before it has begun”

“We are wild”

“Do you wanna feel a little beautiful baby?”

“Come on make it easy, say I never mattered”

“Are you ready for another bad poem?”

“Remember me as I was not as I am”

“If my heart is a grenade”

“We’re all fighting growing old”

“You need to lower your standards”

“I’m the lonelier version of you”

“I just don’t know where it went wrong”

“She’s/he’s/they’re sick and she’s/he’s/they’re wrong”

“I’ve seen bigger”

“I’ve lived better”

“Run for your life”

“Until your breathing stops”

“I need more dreams”

“I cried tears you’ll never see”

“So fuck you, you can go cry me an ocean and leave me be”

“You are what you love, not who loves you”

“Wherever I go trouble seems to follow”

“Whoa, how’d it get to be only me?”

“Cause we don’t know when to quit”

“She’s/he’s/they’re an American beauty, I’m an American psycho”

“I think I fell in love again”

“Maybe I just took too much cough medicine”

“I’m the best worst thing that hasn’t happened to you yet”

“We’re the things that love destroys”

“You will remember me”

“Remember me for centuries”

“We’ll go down in history”

“No, it’s nothing wrong with me”

“The story’s all off”

“Come on and let me in”

“I never meant for you to fix yourself”

“I can’t stop ‘til the whole world knows my name”

“I am the opposite of amnesia”

“You look so pretty, but you’re gone so soon”

“We’ve been here forever”

“I could scream forever”

“We are the poisoned youth”

“Maybe I bit off more than I could chew”

“I’d do it all again”

“I think you’re my best friend”

“I’ll be yours”

“I’m not passive but aggressive”

“It’s not impressive

“I still feel that rush in my veins”

“They say we are what we are, but we don’t have to be”

“I’m bad behavior but I do it in the best way”

“I try to picture me without you but I can’t”

“We could be immortals”

“I’m still comparing your past to my future”

…and my muse will tell you one of the following after a random number generation.

MIX OF FLUFF, ANGST, NSFW, LYRICS AS PHRASES, ETC.

             “No more war talk. Get some rest. If you feel up to it after, I can go get your sister to visit. She’s been worried about you still.” 

    The speedster inclined his chin in a reluctant nod, trying to look forward to seeing his sister. To see her concerned face instead of just knowing it was there in perpetuation.

            “You’re healing fast?” Tyler queried, unsure how that could be possible. What he knew of the Avengers was only what he had seen on TV. Liam thought they were freaks, Tyler thought they were amazing. To have an ability to escape from where ever you were stuck, to have the power to be in control.

    The speedster pulled his knees up, wrapping his arms around them, hoping to make even less of a threatening presence of himself as possible.

    “I do not blame you. Is scary. But they do not know what this is. They are just wanting to help. They want to let you go home, but many other people have died with same coughing.”

            And he knew, Bucky knew Steve suspected something. He was too protective not to worry about these things and dropped by as often as he could with food and drink but James felt more and more like a problem for the good Captain who came here looking for his friend.

            “You think they don’t have a way to take you down? You are a weapon, they will have plans to take all you down so they could take you out of here,” he replied flatly but there was moment when he heard Pietro laugh that there was a flicker.

    It didn’t seem to matter how much they trained, how much they became part of this team. A worry always lingered in the back of his mind-- in Wanda’s, too, he knew-- that even the great Captain America would have considered methods for bringing the two of them down.

    He remained silent as Jim changed the ice packs, focusing selfishly on managing the waves of pain that came with the temporary loss of cold.

“Ah crap, the door’s locked.”

“Woah, that’s a cool eye color.”

“Where the hell am I?”

“Ugh… I think I’m lost. Can you help me?”

“Well this is a fun way to meet new people.”

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Don’t you know to look before you cross a street?!”

“You lost or something?”

“Do you need some help?”

“You need something?”

“Maybe you shouldn’t be walking around this part of town alone.”

“Hi, I’ve heard so much about you.”

“I think you knew my parents.”

“Hey, you dropped this.”

“Oh goodness! I’m so sorry!”

“Um… Hello…”

“What are you looking at?”

“Hey aren’t you ____?”

“Well I didn’t expect this to happen today.”

“because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks” a few songs for when you feel so fucked up as the government that rules your country.

            Bucky shook his head a little and pressed his head against the cold wall, turning himself away from Pietro as if that would make him disappear. “You shouldn’t be in here, you’ll get in trouble.”

    It both opened up a world of pity for Bucky, and of worry for Wanda and himself, of the violence possible behind friendly faces. At least back in Sokovia they did not try to hide aggression with peace.
