You asked me why I love you and I said "I don't know"
And I could tell you were disappointed
With that answer so I carried on, said
"I mean I've loved a lot of people in my life, or I thought I have
I guess I've written them all off when they leave, or I leave them
You know, because, that means, doesn't it
That means that it couldn't have been love to begin with
So why not just write it off?
Sorry, that's not really answering your question

I mean, I guess I thought I was so fucking smart when you met me
When I was 23, I finally started to feel like a real person
You know, a human being
Kept the kind of secrets real people keep
Told the kind of lies real people tell
And most exciting of all
I loved like I thought real people loved
Never really staying anywhere
Perpetually in the process of going somewhere
I thought I was dark, and mysterious, and fucking irresistible
Now I look back on 23-year-old me and I think
Jesus Christ man, what a dick, what a leech
Treating relationships like an ice cream factory
Eating all I could handle and then throwing it all up and running away

And yeah, I'm not 23 anymore, but I'm still me, and what's more
I still want to run away sometimes, a lot of times, actually
In that stupid little way I do where I lock myself in my room
And I watch strangers play video games
'Till my brains start to leak all over the sofa
And I get high, and I write, and I sing
And I hope it still sounds good when I'm sober
Fuck, sorry
You asked me a direct question

I guess I'm scared that I'm imaginary
That I invent myself every day, so other people don't have to
That who I really am is secondary to what I want everyone else to see
And I'm scared that I'm crazy
But, God help me, I'm twice as scared I'm sane
'Cause then what excuse do I have for treating
People like problems that need to be solved or explained?

And that's where you come in
You came along, you taught me that people cannot be explained
That we are all ghost stories at the end of the day
And maybe we should just aim to stay that way
Maybe there's a reason why we do the
Wonderful, horrible things we do to each other
But the reasons are too simple to be satisfying
And then we're left forgetting and re-mystifying each other
'Cause we don't really wanna
Understand what makes us hurt each other
No, we don't really wanna understand what makes us hurt each other
Ah no, we don't really wanna understand what makes us-
Fuck, sorry
I mean, I've been having a lot of trouble focusing recently
Uh, too much aspartame in the diet, I think

To answer your question, I love you
Because I have to
There is no 'why' about it
Anymore than there's a reason why water vapor gathers in the sky
Or why the nettles in the garden don't go away
No matter how much the guy downstairs tries to keep them at bay
There is no 'why' about it
There is a 'how', I suppose, don't really understand it though
Maybe if I dug around a bit in the soil
I'd find out where all this love comes from and what it's for
But then the question would be answered
Ghost story would be over
There'd be very little point in telling it anymore

Right now, I'm happy just to let it be
Let you be you and me be me
Sleep 'til noon and watch TV
Make schemes together
Try not to keep secrets from each other
I just hope to God that we are right when we say
'I love you'
I love you
I just enjoy being around you
I don't think I'm going anywhere

Bye bye blondie
You cut your hair again it's new and ugly
Thats what you wanted so you can hide from me
I'm still the wolf outside your door
I'm still a filthy little whore
I dont do well on my own
Thanks for asking im home
Thought you'd come on and find me and rattle my bones

Noah's fingers dug into her thighs. Ghosted across the bare skin beneath her shirt. Brushed down her arm to be followed by his exploring mouth. Heat paced in her abdomen like a restless cat. Abandoning their attempt to keep themselves grounded and out of trouble, Tawny brought her hands back up to clutch at him, keeping herself steady as he laved at her throat. Very nearly kneading at him as she swallowed the pleased noises she wanted to mewl. She had to force herself to be patient, to enjoy, to curb the desire to turn her head and claim his mouth hungrily; throwing games and teasing out the window and jumping straight to what she needed. She curled her fingers around his arm as he bruised her skin, choosing to stifle the annoyance that urged her to shoulder him warningly. It would be something to scoff at tomorrow in the mirror, to mutter about as she got ready for work on Monday, but for now, she'd let it slide, not wanting to taint the pool of warmth swirling low in her gut. When he paused long enough to choose a truth from the lies, she felt the needy, impatient impulse to shrug and forget the whole game entirely. To wriggle on his lap and watch his lidded gaze go darker instead. But she swallowed the selfishness and forced herself to comply.

"Mmm," Tawny frowned, drumming a finger against Noah's chest. "Unfortunately, that's incorrect." An incidental glimpse into her professor's mind had uncovered his interest in a number of female students. The lingering glances, the fascination, the muted desire that he did well to hide from most. But Tawny had seen. Invented reasons and excuses to keep seeing. Handing her papers in personally. Dropping her folders upon passing him. Orchestrating events that required an innocent touch so she could read him again. It had only been for entertainment. A secret joke only she was in on. Something to think about and analyze when lectures dragged too long. She hadn't intended to act upon them, truly. But one particularly low, lonely day, reeling from her's father death and unable to find comfort anywhere else (so why not a body?), she'd swooped upon him. She'd felt bad afterward, using the man's memories unwittingly against him; weaponizing his private thoughts — that he, too, had no intention to act upon — to fill some flippant need for distraction. He had been kind. Wracked by regret. And she'd dropped his class sometime shortly after.

"I wasn't allowed pets as a child and I've never been in cuffs. Maybe we can play that instead." Her lips curled. "Only if you win, of course."

Noah pulled his shirt over his head, tossing it aside with little care, and Tawny's lips tucked into a blatantly pleased smirk. "I could get a feel of something." She recalled their initial meeting at the lake, when she'd been quick to turn away when he stripped; slightly embarrassed and wanting to allow him his privacy. How quickly things had changed from that moment. And then changed again. And had once more changed. She studied him openly, her gaze roving over the toned planes of his body; fingers following the paths they made in a featherlight trace. His memories tingled like a static charge beneath her touch, slightly lifting the hairs on her arms, but she kept them at bay. She wondered if there were more horrors to be seen if she dipped in. Another inexplicable scene to send her leaping from his lap like she had before. To change everything yet again.

Briefly, she wondered why it didn't scare her more. Why she invited Noah in. Why she tempted him and let him tempt her. As much as they'd said about themselves, despite the questions asked and answers given, she still felt she knew so little about him — which was hardly an issue; she didn't have to know much about someone to take them to bed — but what little she did know should have turned her away. Made him off-limits. Earned him a door in the face. And yet, she'd returned his clothes. Gave him her phone number. Silently hoped he'd reach out to her again.

Her fingers skipped finally upon the raised welt of his scar and she let the distracted ponderings fall away to curiosity. She brushed a thumb along the marred skin, considering the offered circumstances on how he'd obtained it. All options were plausible, but one was more extraordinary than the others and the abnormality of it was decidedly Noah. She snorted. "Poison Ivy, obviously." The scenario fit well amid the stories he'd already told her. Suited that reckless eagerness she'd witnessed in him as he typed the drunken note in his phone and lit up at the discussion of her family's gifts. She lifted her eyes to his face, a look of playful severity filtering across her features. "Blackstorm should look into hazard pay."

Noah tugged her closer and the playfulness darkened as she eyed him, thoroughly mussed but not looking quite obscene enough for her liking. The abrupt desire to remedy this, to see him breathless, shoved all other thoughts and musings from her mind and she lifted a hand to his hair; filtering her fingers through it as she had before. She squeezed him between her thighs and rocked closer; aware of all the places they touched, of the firm press of him against her, and finding it somehow insufficient. "Maybe it's good you're losing though," she breathed slyly, crowding him once more. The hand carding through his hair curled slightly and she gave it a gentle tug; a ginger suggestion to tip his head slightly back. A suggestion that she further emphasized as she lowered her face closer to his, pausing for only a moment to breathe, "I feel my good girl morals slipping back in." She smirked, before pressing her lips against his and letting the expression smother into something more predatory and seeking. She pressed her body harder against him, breathing in through her nose with hungry relief as the movement rekindled the heat in her gut. She parted his lips with a practiced tongue and her brow crinkled at the taste of tequila.

Abruptly, the speaker above her couch cawed out some obnoxious, screaming advertisement for the local auto shop — signaling the end of her playlist and causing her to jolt. She felt a flash of annoyance shadow across her face, a fraction of a moment before she was whisked away completely; the unexpected surprise enough of a blip for her guard to flicker and Noah's memories to tug her into their ceaseless pull.

Club beats reverberated with a muted dullness in the bathroom, dimly lit by a pink, neon glow. Noah stood in front of a mirror, wringing his hands under a faucet as he mouthed lyrics to his reflection. An impressive feather boa was wrapped around his neck and he swayed on his feet, more apparently drunk than she'd witnessed in her living room. Tawny felt an insuppressible stab of alarm at the scene, instinctively paralleling it to the other memory she'd seen of him cleaning his hands in a sink. Reflexively, she skipped quickly forward, to watch as he slinked out of the bathroom on unsteady feet, raising finger-guns at another man pushing past him. The man wasn't quite drunk enough to be amicable but, judging from Noah's laugh as he shot his finger-guns playfully, he was too drunk to notice or care.

The scene darkened, flickered, then went black, and Tawny returned to her living room, wrestling that peculiar feeling of her gift snapping away from her. Her movements were stuttered as she pulled back, blinking at Noah while she put the memory (and that feeling of alarm she'd felt), immediately from mind. Choosing not to acknowledge it. "Well shit," she huffed a breath, flashing him a quick pout as she settled back with her wrists resting lazily upon his shoulders. "I was really hoping to make you work for that." She frowned, her gaze pulling across his face with the beginnings of returned hesitance.

She dropped a hand between them, slipping a couple of fingers into the waistband of his jeans and brushing her thumb across the button of them, contemplating. Willing herself back to bat. The annoying, attention-grabbing advertisement had ended but now the music app played something jaunty and jarring. And whether it was the music, the glimpse of him horribly drunk, the taste of alcohol on her tongue, or perhaps the skip in her heartbeat that'd come with remembering, when she sucked her lip between her teeth and looked up at him, her look was more disappointed and apologetic than eager. "But you're so drunk. And I'm so not." A bit belatedly, she remembered that it had yet to be tested if he could keep her gift under wraps while intoxicated, and she drew her hands to herself, eyes watching for some reaction.

Sighing wistfully, Tawny wriggled back and removed herself from his lap, stepping off the couch and willing herself to composure, even as her legs trembled beneath her. "I suppose I should think of something to wager." She moved to the other section of the couch, kneeling across it to grab at the offending speaker and switch it off. Her eyes widened slightly as her mind pulled to the magazine with upcoming local events and classes laying open on her dinky dining table, buried somewhere beneath the mess of everything else that'd accumulated over the week. The magazine belonged to her neighbor but had ended up in her mailbox — another casualty of the new postman's apparent lack of experience (or perhaps just lack of care). Tawny had perused it with interest rather than immediately leaving it at the proper door. Her eyes narrowed and she glanced at Noah while stepping across the apartment toward the two ferrets who'd worn themselves out and passed out across his shoes.

"Have you ever been proper dancing before? Or perhaps ice skating?" She scooped the ferrets up, preparing to put them back in their cage for the night, and turned back to him. "If you don't want to play another round — I'm sure you're very sleepy — we can call this a draw?" Considering she had a lead over him in their little game, the offer was somewhat generous, but she quirked a brow invitingly. "You can sleep out here or I can call you a cab?" The hint of a grin returned to her face, tugging only one corner of her mouth awry. "I'm willing to share my bed, but only if you promise to keep your hands to yourself until you're sober."

Because I'm literally a mess of hyperfixation, I keep collecting more of these. T_T Might as well start a separate thread for them. Of course, I don't really expect anyone to listen to these, I'm just LIKE THIS lmaooo.
[break][break][break]






TAWNY'S PLAYLISTS



[PTabbedContent]

[PTab=Chill Music]

[attr="class","littlecloud-tunes"]This is the type of music that Tawny enjoys. Tunes to paint to. That play softly in the background as she does work. What might be playing in the buds in her ears during a jog. I think most of it is kinda dim and flirty. Always reminds me of exchanging glances with someone at the bar. Dancing closer to someone who has met your gaze a few times. Little purposeful glance-aways while losing yourself a bit in the tune. But there's definitely other stuff in there, too; stuff I think Tawny likes and stuff that makes me think of her. I definitely listen to this when I'm trying to find some muse for her lmao. [break][break]

[break][break]

33. NADIR, TENDER[break]
We were like an empty glass / These things weren't built to last / I hate it when you touch me but I kept it under wraps / Tried to go the distance, but we're only wasting time / This is our divide, need to go our separate ways / I'm too scared if you stay

We were happy and on it / There were too many people, there was fun, there was evil / And we both took the ride / You were making me laugh, shit was making me sway, and I thought I could fly
[break][break]

38. COVER YOUR TRACKS, YOUNG GALAXY[break]
Throw away your letters and numbers and make sure to cover your tracks / Throw away your desires and treasures and make sure you burn all the maps
[break][break]

39. INDECISION, SHURA[break]
Drinking whisky from a plastic cup / As if it's gonna make you make your mind up / Indecision by your own admission / What you gonna do? / Don't go looking at me as if I know / Can't work out what you mean / I've got emotions of my own
[break][break]

40. AFTERNOON, TENDER[break]
It all comes down to whether you love me anymore / God, I hope you do / Cause I can't tell, I can't tell / By the look in your eyes / You said it all come down when the morning comes / You said we'd both come round when the sun was up / Round and round we go
[break][break]

41. CRAWL, TENDER[break]
I don't need emotion in between us, I just want to know I'm safe / I'm on a road paved in gold, I'm about to find out why I'm so alone / Won't you stay awhile and don't you hide away / I got you slipping from my fingers, day to day / I didn't say I'd be crawling back to you

43. FREAKIN' OUT ON THE INTERSTATE, BRISTON MARONEY[break]
You got a lot on your mind / And your heart, it looks just like mine / There's no use in wasting your time, anymore / I'm sorry I, I haven't been myself / And something's got me down / What it is, I cannot tell


[break]

[PTab=Sad Music]

[attr="class","littlecloud-tunes"]These songs are reserved for worse moods. For when she's getting ready to fall into that heavy downward spiral. For pacing her apartment, feeling nothing but cold. Waiting for something. Getting and going nowhere. Feeling her energy slowly drain from her, replaced by a vacant, looming nothing. She'll ignore everything and everyone. Curl into herself, make herself as small as possible, and disappear until she's ready to surface again. Not all of these songs are big depress-o sadgirl hours, but I think they are things that get her sad. Things she might listen to push herself over the edge. [break][break]



LYRICS UNDER THE CUT



[break][break]
01. GOOD TIME, YOUTH GROUP[break]
I had myself a good time / And now I don't feel like myself / Will this feeling go on forever? / I feel like it's been long enough / I woke up in the gatherin' rain / Woke up to a darkenin' stain / And it won't come out
[break][break]

02. DEADWATER, WET[break]
If my legs were longer, they might carry us further / But we waited too long, and so the task just gets harder / And the thoughts that come in, they come on stronger and stronger / And it takes all of me, to just stay out of the water
[break][break]

03. INTIMATE MOMENTS, ISAAC DUNBAR[break]
I need to get this off my chest / That I'm here and I've regressed / A putrid feeling that I've addressed / I'm scared to love and bare the rest / And I know your intentions / I don't blame you for wanting more / So I wait for the perfect time / I have a fear of intimate moments / If you're around, why am I down? / Tell me if it's wrong or right / Is it black or white if I can't open up?
[break][break]


04. SOMETIMES, CHELESA CUTLER[break]
Tell me your secrets / I won't repeat them / This tug in my chest makes it hard to get rest / And I think that I'm better off dead / Cause I love you but sometimes I'd rather die / Than have to feel this way inside
[break][break]

05. WITH YOU, BETH CROWLEY[break]
Drop what you're doing, meet me tonight / I need the distraction, let's do something wild / Don't turn me down / No longer together, I don't really care / Want something familiar / We'll say it's the last time, at least until next time / We'll act like it was nothing in the morning, just like we always do / Whenever I'm lonely, I think too much / You take all the noise and you quiet it with a single touch / Get over here
[break][break]


06. HONEYMOON PHASE, OSKA[break]
The golden hours / The sun kissed your perfect mouth / Wish it could be enough / To forget the rest of us / Fire escape, lovers like burning flames / Always the fire fades, always the same / I am in pieces so why can't you see that / I have to leave for my own safety / Aching to come clean despite how it might seem / You don't know me, cause I don't know me / And I'm to blame, I've been trading gold for a honeymoon phase / And lost my ways and my sanity and all that mattered to me
[break][break]

07. BORED OF MYSELF, ART SCHOOL GIRLFRIEND[break]
Sat here, looking at you / Through my phone screen, it's all I can do / It's a game that I play, makes me feel like I'm staying away / Swallow down my luck, walk into the night / Leave my head at the door on my way out / And I'm alright
[break][break]

08. FLIGHT RISK, TOMMY LEFROY[break]
How could I do this right, if I'm such a flight risk? / I wanted to be something you couldn't put down / But hey, it's wearing me out this time / I wanted to stay, I tried / But you'll never leave me, if I'm already gone / I wanted to be something already gone
[break][break]

09. ONTARIO, NOVO AMOR[break]
Follow, you're Apollo / Us below, all praying in your shallows / I'll hallow, overflow / Oh, scaling all your shadows / To your marrow, to atone
[break][break]

10. HELL OR FLYING, JEREMY ZUCKER[break]
I'm not surprised or in love like I was last night / Hold down the floor, cause I'm not dancin' anymore / I'll always feel this far away / But I, I will lay down by your side / I will keep an open eye
[break][break]

11. LYING TO YOU, KEATON HENSON[break]
And I can see in your eyes that you mean it / And I can feel in your arms that it's true / And though I just heard myself say it / Baby, I'm lying to you / And as we lie in bed, I feel lonely / Though we're young, I feel eighty years old / And your arms around me are keeping me warm / But baby, I'm still feeling cold
[break][break]

12. CINNAMON, JOME[break]
It's a slow cinnamon summer, your spell is pulling me under
[break][break]

13. AFTERTHOUGHT, JOJI[break]
Lately, I've been slippin' away from you / Can you tell me does it hurt today? / Sometimes you'd ask me for something different / Hated when you did it, I wish that you didn't
[break][break]

14. HUMAN BEING, ANIMAL FLAG[break]
But if this should come as some surprise / That I became less gentle with the time / That I would lose my perfect shine / And my angelic stance inside your eyes / I'd like to think you tried your best / To understand my loneliness / And I used to think you were someone / That I could love and maybe even trust
[break][break]

15. BOTTLED UP, TENDER[break]
Bottled up, won't talk about it / Nobody needs to know, nobody needs to know / Like a wave crashing over me, rough sea lacking harmony / My own thoughts they pull and shake me up / My own hands won't give or take enough
[break][break]

16. PLEASE, NOAH KAHAN[break]
My head is an ocean and I'm getting homesick for a place I've never known / Maybe I'm restless, a manic depressive / Or maybe I need someone, or maybe not
[break][break]

17. CHANGES, HAYD[break]
I've been chasing after feelings / Most of which are fleeting / I still feel empty
[break][break]

18. HARD TO SLEEP, GRACIE ABRAMS[break]
I only thought it for a minute, but it got me down / That kind of feeling when you've got something to cry about / I only thought it for a moment, but it's crippling / I guess the gravity of going out is sinkin' in / What if I'm missing the capacity for all of it?
[break][break]

19. SOMEBODY NEW, LION OF JUDAH[break]
I use you like a coin machine / I put just enough in to get back what I need / When I'm feeling alright, I don't rely on you / But when anxiety strikes, I think I change my view / I wanna be somebody new, someone who isn't hurting you
[break][break]

20. DIFFICULT, GRACIE ABRAMS[break]
Til I feel less attached and bored to death, but listen / It's no one's fault, it's just my terrible condition / I'm just scared of that commitment, I really think sometimes there's something that I'm missing
[break][break]

21. ALMOST HOME, MXMTOON[break]
No one ever says all the love you give might not be enough / Broke my heart in two a couple times / Before it hurt too much
[break][break]

22. SINK, ANIMAL FLAG[break]
And I'll sink before you do / Just enough to push me over but not enough to drown / I figured all my hesitations would someday let you down, let you down / So lukewarm with my intentions / Sometimes I pray you spit me out / And I wish that I could love you more
[break][break]

23. PICTURE OF YOU, SARA KAYS[break]
So I know you wanna keep this memory / Can you keep it in the back of your head? / Cause when I see it in a week, I'll wish I was dead
[break][break]

24. ROCKLAND, GRACIE ABRAMS[break]
Bet you wish you never even met me / I don't blame you, broke your every heartbeat / Hey, I feel like if we gave it one night / You'd hate me less and make it alright
[break][break]

25. THE ROCKROSE & THE THISTLE, THE AMAZING DEVIL[break]
When you call to me, asleep / Up the ragged cliffs, I scramble / A single thread hangs limply down / And I breathe 'not now, not now' / And I find you all unwoven, trying desperately to sew / I know the kindest thing is to leave you alone
[break][break]

26. THAT'S US, ANSON SEABRA[break]
But the other night I had you in my head / Called you on the phone / Want you stealing my time, even though I said I wanna be alone / Tomorrow night, I'll probably call a cab / Show up at your door / Love you in the night time, leave you in your bed / Cold and wanting more
[break][break]

27. ANYWAY, NOAH KAHAN[break]
You said you were sorry that you hadn't called me in over a week / And I said, always, I'll wait / For sharp glass when you break / I'll be the light that you can't make

[PTab=Liza Anne]

[attr="class","littlecloud-tunes"]Oh shit son, a third playlist? This is just ridiculous now. This playlist is likely a bit too "self-aware" for Tawny to listen to herself. But I can't listen to Liza Anne without thinking of my girl lmao. I've included in the lyrics a couple of thoughts I have about each particular song. Mostly this addresses past relationships and her complicated feelings about romance in general.[break][break]



LYRICS UNDER THE CUT



[break][break]
01. WATERING CAN, LIZA ANNE[break]
(An ode to past lovers and the relationships that were real; Tawny letting them go when she did really love them in her own way; probably some very private feelings that she'd never admit to them even when she can acknowledge them herself; better to leave them thinking she didn't care at all) [break][break]

It wasn't that I didn't wanna hold your hand / I just knew if we held tight once, we would never let go / It wasn't that I didn't want to call you mine / But you're not mine / And it wasn't that you didn't make me happy / Because, my dear, you made me so happy / But the happiness that we shared wasn't meant for us as a pair / As our hearts heal up and we walk barefoot through all the settled stardust / Let us, let go of all that we are not / And as our minds, they will clear up / and we know that we are not to love / Let us stop, let us stop, tilting the watering can over the soil that holds us now / Because we were never meant to grow / It wasn't that I didn't ever write you notes / I was always just too scared to send them through the post / The truth that they entailed stopped them from being stamped and mailed / Oh it wasn't that I didn't write you notes
[break][break]

02. I'M TIRED, YOU'RE LONELY, LIZA ANNE[break]
(Those phases where she's growing distant and cold with no energy to maintain a relationship; ghost time, baby, she can't let herself be that person someone can reach for all the time; she might not pick up the phone when you need her and it'll cause problems; the problems will make the ghosting worse and it'll be the start of the end) [break][break]

What does that say of me? / When I know it's you calling but I let it ring / Because I am tired and you're lonely / Screaming, babe console me / But I've already given all that I have / Has it all just come to this / Both wanting what the other cannot give / And if I was a softer person / I could give you the kindness you are deserving / But I'm not / And maybe that's just it / And I'd stop it if only / Our hearts didn't break so slowly
[break][break]

03. I LOVE YOU, BUT I NEED ANOTHER YEAR, LIZA ANNE[break]
(With the ghosting, the cold, and the distance, there also comes questions and concerns from her partner; questions about what they are and about her feelings; sometimes the only thing she can do is give a plea for more time; a habitual dance-around that she knows can only be put up with for a limited time) [break][break]

I don't think enough before I say too much / I'm digging my own grave with all the shit I say / I keep my head high, kinda like a lie / I say I'm doing fine even when I'm losing my mind / Stay here / I know I love you but I need another year, oh / I don't wanna drag you through it / And nobody should have to deal with this
[break][break]

04. PANIC ATTACK, LIZA ANNE[break]
(There are people in her life, past and present, who are willing and want to be there for her in her "moments"; when she's pushing everyone away and locked herself in a spiral of her own making; but she doesn't want anyone to help her out of it; doesn't want someone to witness her that way or to use anyone as a crutch) [break][break]

Keep my head down and in my hands / I never learned to pull myself out of my own damn head / Somebody come close / I just wanna be alone / My words disappear on a dry tongue / And I am trying to let you know it / But I am drowning by the moment / And I hate that I can be seen like this
[break][break]

05. CONTROL, LIZA ANNE[break]
(Tawny has been told by partners before that she's selfish; that she treats people and relationships like jewelry to try on, take off, forget about, etc; she doesn't blame them, in a way, they're justified opinions) [break][break]

And I'm so good, getting too good, at hiding / Too good at keeping to myself / But I'm spiraling / I have fell before / For some who have wanted me more / Than I could've wanted them / Some call it selfishness / Oh I heard once, you only love when you're lonely
[break][break]

06. THE COLDER MONTHS, LIZA ANNE[break]
(She can never make up her damned mind, too much of a coward) [break][break]

And I don't know if I love you yet / But I like you / And I don't know if I need you yet / But I want you, just the same / And I don't know if it's just the colder months / Or if I want to hold you / And I don't know if it's just my need for touch / Or if I need you in my arms / And I don't know / If I'm ready yet
[break][break]

07. LOST, LIZA ANNE[break]
(She's gotten into the habit of nipping things in the bud when it comes to relationships; she's convinced it's a lose-lose; sometimes it's better to long for what might have been instead) [break][break]

I'll be damned if I do it / Damned if I don't / I'll be lost if I love him / Lost if I won't / And I can't muster up the courage to say it's best I leave / I can't muster up much of anything / When I'm feeling you breathe / I'll be hurt if I leave him / But turn cold if I don't / He's the sweet of a morning kiss / But there's a poison it holds / My human heart won't mend itself / When my own two hands are ripping out the seams / Oh, it seems, I'm my own worst enemy / Oh, I'm doing it to myself
[break][break]

08. TUNNELS, LIZA ANNE[break]
(When it comes to relationships, most of Tawny's hesitance and turmoil stems from the fear that she'll depend too much on someone; that they'll become vital to her living; damning her to the heartache and grief that wracked her father his whole life after Dione died; this whole song is that fear) [break][break]

I feel it constant, you're running through my veins / I feel the whisper that I'm not the same without your aid / And I don't think I like myself without you / I feel me changing, one spark and I'm set free / But now I'm caged into this misery / The winter morning is a hell I'd rather not know without you with me / You keep me sturdy, you make me weak / And I can't decide if that's okay
[break][break]

09. CLOSEST TO ME, LIZA ANNE[break]
(A song for Violet and those others like Violet; if pressed too much and backed into a corner, that coldness of Tawny's can sharpen into something cruel; she has gotten defensive before, said things in the moment that she didn't mean; forced a snap and made it nasty just to end it) [break][break]

I speak before I know what I mean / Talk through my ego, not my thinking / Stomp around, gonna throw myself a tantrum / Even if it's with the best intention / Don't give me that look that I hate / Like every word I said was a mistake / How'd you really think it would go over / Warming up to my cold shoulder / Closest to me, I always hurt the closest ones to me / I know that I should apologize, oh, but I'm sorry
[break][break]

10. TURN FOR THE WORSE, LIZA ANNE[break]
(Eventually her antics bring about confrontation; the other person demanding an explanation or just wanting desperately to talk about it; Tawny, always deflecting and flailing wordlessly, helplessly; begging for them to fight about it later, always later) [break][break]

Can we talk in the morning? / I'm no use tired and upset / Oh, just leave it out for the morning / It'll sleep fine in our bed / I don't wanna think about it / Don't wanna empathize / It's too late at night / We always said we shouldn't talk like this / You're frustrated, we should sleep on it / And a stubborn mind should learn to quit while it's ahead / And I can tell I hit a nerve with you / That's what talking late at night will do / Taking turns for the worse
[break][break]

11. 1,000 YEARS, LIZA ANNE[break]
(What love looks like to Tawny — daunting, longing, aching; this song would remind her of her father, holding the torch for Dione for almost twenty years until he finally died; watching him break for the millionth time when he thinks no one can see; she's afraid to call anything she's ever felt for anyone love, afraid to let it become love, because eventually, it'll be nothing but hurt) [break][break]

Memories running through my bloodstream / I'm always just a bottle away from you / White fingers, clenched around the pictures / Clenched around the hope I'm holding to / And I would wait a thousand years / Just to hear you say my name again / Just to hear it like you meant it / That night we touched / These long days / Nothing but a story / I keep telling just to drown out that goodbye
[break][break]

12. I SHOULDN'T GHOST MY THERAPIST, LIZA ANNE[break]
(This one's fun and upbeat, but still hits home for her lmao; for fizzling friendships I'd say; her lack of upkeep and flagging energy for the whole thing) [break][break]

I got a feeling that I might go / Out of my mind if I don't get time alone / Is there enough of me to go around? / Is there enough of anything that's so spread out? / And now I've hurt the ones I care about / Because I don't know how to stop / How do you slow down? / There's so much on my mind right now / I can't keep going on like this / Gonna run away all my friends / I gave a little too much, and too little, too much / And now I'm not sure how to make it up

DANE'S PLAYLISTS



[PTabbedContent]

[PTab=You Little Brute]

[attr="class","littlecloud-tunes"]This first playlist isn't necessarily songs that Dane would listen to. These are more like... songs that give me Dane vibes and that I listen to when searching for that Dane muse. Most of it is complete murder garbage but there are definitely a couple in here that I feel like Dane would really resonate with. "I Hate You" and "You're Going Down" is his whole ass vibe, he would def choose "Beg Like A Dog" as his theme (he'd love the awo awo awoos), "Love Shot" and "Bad for Me" is his taste in women (I've always imagined the first as a Grace theme but that's unrelated), and "It Will Come Back" is a bit off-brand when considering the rest of the mix, but imagining Dane as a wild animal you don't want sticking around is just p e a k~ [break][break]



LYRICS UNDER THE CUT



[break][break]
1. I HATE YOU, SICK PUPPIES[break]
Every time I end up breaking you, you change into something worth keeping / Every time I'm close to saving you, you grow into a sin worth believing / You're everything I ever wanted but it's never enough, you're never enough / I'll take whatever I can take whenever I can take it, if it ever comes / I hate you when you're gone, I hate you turn me on / I hate the way I need you when I don't know where you are / I love it even more when I find you on the floor / I know you think you hate me but I will always hate you more
[break][break]

2. BEG LIKE A DOG, THE BLUE VAN[break]
Try to creep over and you won't get far / I know what you're thinking, I know what a user you are / Thank you for nothing now put on your jacket and walk / You had your moment now listen to me when I talk / I said get out, or get down and beg like a dog / Awo awo awooo!
[break][break]

3. DEVIL IS ON HIS WAY, JOE BUCK YOURSELF[break]
Motherfucker, devil on his way, gonna make you pay, get to your knees and pray / Joke about where he at when you need him, motherfucker, he's on his way
[break][break]

4. LOVE SHOT, THE BLUE VAN[break]
Call a doctor, check my pulse, something hit me like a cannonball / Ears are ringing but I feel no pain, just a sweet sensation running through my veins / You got me love shot, honey, right in the head / Love shot, honey, I'm a living dead / Don't know if I should hide, you got your target set / Love shot, honey, pump me full of lead / Friendly fire from her bedroom eyes / Gun for hire, she don't compromise / She'll be laughing as she takes her aim / Honey baby, let the bullets rain
[break][break]

5. BAD FOR ME, VOILA[break]
Never rains, you and me only pour till we're wasted asleep on the floor / Come and waste all my time even more / I was broken and torn at the seams, now it feels good that you're using me / You're the fever in all of my dreams / She's not crazy 'bout me, she's just crazy / They call her bad for me, I call her baby
[break][break]

6. IT WILL COME BACK, HOZIER[break]
You know better, babe, you know better, babe / Than to smile at me, smile at me like that / You know better, babe, you know better, babe / Than to hold me just, hold me just like that / Don't let me in with no intention to keep me / Jesus Christ, don't be kind to me / Honey, don't feed me, I will come back / It can't be unlearned / I've known the warmth of your doorways / Through the cold, I'll find my way back to you / Oh, please, give me mercy no more / That's a kindness you can't afford / I warn you, baby, each night, as sure as you're born / You'll hear me howling outside your door / Don't you hear me howling?
[break][break]

7. YOU'RE GOING DOWN, SICK PUPPIES[break]
Define your meaning of war / To me it's what we do when we're bored / I feel the heat comin' off of the blacktop and it makes me want it more / Because I'm hyped up, out of control / If it's a fight, I'm ready to go / I wouldn't put my money on the other guy if you know what I know that I know / You can treat this like another, all the same / But don't cry like a bitch when you feel the pain / This is hardly worth fighting for but it's the little petty shit that I can't ignore / When my fist hits your face and your face hits the floor / It'll be a long time comin', bet you got the message now
[break][break]

8. CANDY SHOP, ANDREW BIRD[break]
Well, piece by piece and nail by nail, it'll all come down some day before the fires of hell / You let me in your house with a hammer / Set to tile or set to stone, tit for tat and bone for bone, I'm goin' to set fire to your glamour
[break][break]

9. ANOTHER WAY OUT, HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD[break]
I don't think no one's home and we're just here alone! I better find you first before you find a phone! You better run, better run, better run, yeah I'm coming after you! when you're sleeping at night, yeah there's nothing you can do, there's no place you can hide cause I'm coming after you! I wish there was another way out for you. I wish there was another way out! / You gave up? I'll check and see, no one cares less than me, dead wrong I guess you'll be, these voices won't let you leave. Got you down on bended knee, what should my next weapon be? It's over, you can't breathe, just sleep now, rest in peace!
[break][break]

10. BAD BAD THINGS, AJJ[break]
Do you remember me? I killed your family! And now I am going to kill you, too! I made your brother bleed, I made your father scream, and I made your mother say those things that she said to me. She said "do with me what you want but please don't hurt my family! Don't hurt my family! Take my pride, take my life, take my body but don't take the ones that are close to me!" / And I continued without mercy! So I looked into your eyes and I saw the reflection of a coward that you and I both hate very much. And then I grabbed the knife and I let the blood out of your throat and I smashed those tiny mirrors inside of your skull. And I got to thinking, if I don't go to hell when I die, I might go to heaven! I might go to heaven! But probably not!
[break][break]

11. WE KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP, THE PAPER CRANES[break]
I've got you now, I'll show you all, I'll kick out the chair, let you dangle slow / In the back of the bus, all of us like the coats in cloak rooms / And if you rise again, take a form I know / The river will boil, then overflow / And the houses you're haunting will tremble with temporal hoodoo / I don't know about you but I am hellbent, I know what it is that I must do / Close your eyes when we kiss, cause I am prepared to set myself on fire for this / Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here
[break][break]

12. HEART OF HICKORY, MAJOR PARKINSON[break]
Blowing bubbles with a torch on your dad’s front porch, peeling off the stitches from your spine / And when the love is dead, come and get your butcher knife! Open up my heart and make me happy! Come and get your butcher knife!
[break][break]

13. KILL EVERYONE, HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD[break]
You got the motherfucking right to remain violent! Hollow points hiding in my clip! I'll take twenty-five just to watch your life end! I pray, "Father, please forgive me for I sin!" Got these sticks of dynamite and dying to light them! God, don't fail me now, get thrown and you gon' get carried out to a hole where I know you won't be found! Just face it, it's almost over now! Don't even try to take this weapon from me. I like you more and more the less that you breathe. I've come undone, I think I'll kill everyone. My, what have I done? Fuck it, let's kill everyone! Oh no, here comes the riot! Does everything have to resort to violence? If you think you can hide, go and try it, now let's let the fucking gun break the silence! Close your eyelids, another shot and then here come the sirens! I thought I told you to keep fucking quiet? Somebody's dying, so come say goodbye, kids!
[break][break]

14. A DRINK TO DEATH, THAT HANDSOME DEVIL[break]
Make sure my glass is full, let's crash and see how fast we go, she took a shot and held her breath, I'm gonna drink myself to death / It'll eat your insides, your brain burns, and your skin dries, bumbling through the alleys, like you think you're still alive / I wanna hold you closely, I wanna smell your sweat, I wanna drink myself to death / There will be no candles, there will be no romance, I will be alone, we will not hold hands, there will be no toasting, there will be no romance / And if I pass out, wake me up / I may be drunk, but I'm not drunk enough, and everything keeps fucking up, we were nice together, weren't we once?
[break][break]

15. ALL OF YOU, RIZ AHMED[break]
Selfish love is the type we share / Wanna smash that wall like a Berlin youth, wanna be the one you're hooked on hurting you / It's an ego thing, I wanna lock you down / Drop your guard, but I never said the fight was fair / You can't have all of me but give me all of you, I wanna walk tall knowing that I'm owning you / But I don't really feel deeply at all for you, I know it's sad, isn't it, but it's the awful truth
[break][break]

16. NORTHERN LIGHTS, THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS[break]
Don't ever take a single second to breathe, they're gonna send me on a murdering spree / I can not wait to dance upon your grave, they don't even have a soul left to be saved / You would eat your young
[break][break]

17. SHANKILL BUTCHERS, THE DECEMBERISTS[break]
They used to be just like me and you, they used to be sweet little boys / But something went horribly askew, now killing is their only source of joy / The Shankill butchers on the rise, they're waiting until the dead of night / They're picking at their fingers with their knives and wiping off their cleavers on their thighs
[break][break]

18. I'M FINDING IT HARDER TO BE A GENTLEMAN, THE WHITE STRIPES[break]
Well I'm finding it harder to be a gentleman every day. All the manners that I've been taught have slowly died away. But if I held the door open for you it wouldn't make your day. You think that I care about me and only me when every single girl needs help climbing up a tree. Well, I know it don't take much to satisfy me. Maybe it's whatever's in my head that's distracting me but if I could find emotion to stimulate devotion, well then you'd see. well, I'm finding it hard to say that I need you twenty times a day. I feel comfortable so, baby, why don't you feel the same? Have a doctor come and visit us and tell us which one is sane. I never said I wouldn't throw my jacket in the mud for you but my father gave it to me so maybe I should carry you, then you said "You almost dropped me!", so then I did and I got mud on my shoes
[break][break]

19. A SONG ABOUT HONESTY, HELLO MOTH[break]
Watch out for the way I'll be with you and watch out for the things I'll do to you. Watch out for the things I'll say to you, you know I'm gonna play with you. You know that I will be your friend, you know that I will make you bend. I hope that it will be okay for you, there's nothing I won’t put you through. You know that I would let you drown, you know I'd even pull you down. If you put your faith in me, you know that I will set you free
[break][break]

20. DRILLED A WIRE THROUGH MY CHEEK, BLUE OCTOBER[break]
I try to stay on top of you, to hold your body down. Your shaking seems to hinder every grasp that I have found. Moving every inch around me to defuse your private bomb, I stretch myself surrounding and protecting you from harm. I use a wallet for your mouth so when you bite you will not bleed, I drilled a wire through my cheek and let it down and out my sleeve. And now you're pulling out the best of me, yeah which never ever comes. This wires all that's left of me and it's hooked within my gums, within my gums
[break][break]

21. REAPER MAN, MOTHER MOTHER[break]
Oh yeah I'm a reaper man, every good thing, I kill it dead. Oh yeah I'm a hooligan, out in the street making a mess. Fuck yeah i'm a deviant, when I go to the store I go undressed. Oh yeah, I'm a sexy mess, go on the date just to get the dress off. How'd I ever get so off my rocks? How'd I ever get so lost? Everybody out there on the job but not me, oh, but not me. Oh yeah I'm an ugly mess; not in the face, but in the head. I'm thinking that was best not said, but I say it anyway, then I say it again. They took a little look at my brain, they come to find all is sane

22. MAN LIKE THAT, GIN WIGMORE[break]
Don't really wanna wake you, I just came to get my things. But the pretty lil' thing lying there beside you better take off my wedding ring. Hey, girl, do you really wanna do this, you don't know what you're stepping in. he's got more where that came from, you're not so special in the end. I'm messing up the place, kicking down the door, never wanna see his face no more. Girl, you better wake up, girl, you better run. He's gone first thing in the morning, faster than a bullet coming out of that gun. Tells you that he loves you, then he takes it all back. Girl, you gotta wonder, girl, you gotta wonder 'bout a man like that / Uh-oh, now he's got you right where he thinks you belong. Did he bite you on the neck right before the job was done? And does he ask about your mama, does he sing your song when you get mad? Well, I been there, done that many times, and all the kicking and the screaming won't bring him back
[break][break]

23. NOT THAT BIG, TEMPOSHARK[break]
I can't wait to come around to raise the stakes. I truly love a fight that's won before it's started; so much fun. I can't stay in case I read your inner page, don't tell me I'm a right that's wrong, I'd better put my jeans back on... 'cause you're not big in my life, not big in my life at all, and I'm not big in your life, not big in your life at all. I don't ask, for everything we've done has passed, who cares if we will meet again? It's obvious that we're not friends.
[break][break]

24. SWEET THINGS, THE PRETTY RECKLESS[break]
I'm evil, knocking at your door. I'm evil, making you my whore. I don't mind if you take what's yours, but give me mine. I am like decay, I rot the ground to guide your way, oh. Hey there, little girl, come inside I've got some sweet things / Hey there, little girl come inside don't be afraid, I'll keep you safe
[break][break]

25. MR. JACK, SYSTEM OF A DOWN[break]
Hey, Mr. Jack, is that the mouthwash in your eyes? Hey, Mr. Jack, is that the cause of your surprise? Hey, where you at? On the side of the freeway in the car? Hey, Mr. Jack, is that the trick of your disguise? Hey, Mr. Jack, is that the cause of your demise? / Wake up, 7am., morning, came to take us away. / Little men, big guns, pointed at our heads
[break][break]

26. HOMEOSTASIS, NOSTALGHIA[break]
A tiny moth wrapped in lungs, got my armor and I got my gun / I stumble from this empty room, you blow my brains and I'll blow my cool, you know I can't play by the rules / I feel so cold, the sweetest stare, my wool-filled eyes, your hollow care / A tiny game of truth or dare
[break][break]

27. ME AND THE DEVIL, GIL SCOTT-HERON[break]
Early this morning when you knocked upon my door, and I say "Hello Satan, I believe it's time to go." Me and the devil, walking side by side

[PTab=Dane's Faves]

[attr="class","littlecloud-tunes"]And this playlist is what Dane listens to! Like... all he listens to! His music taste is very specific and actually kinda surprising. But if he's listening to music by his own choice, it's almost always a safe bet that it's Robbie Williams or Rufus Wainwright. If he had an iPod or something of the sort, these songs would have like 5000+ plays while anything else has less than 100 lmao. Don't ask me why because I don't know, I just feel it in my soul. This is def what's playing in his ears when he's cleaning, napping, killing, or just being a general loon. [break][break]



LYRICS UNDER THE CUT



[break][break]
01. ME AND LIZA, RUFUS WAINWRIGHT
Me and Liza, Liza and I / Famous 'til the day that we die / Blowing on the embers of fame / Burning down the house of your name / Everything can go up in flames / As long as you have something to frame / Energizer, baby's on fire / No one's gonna hatchet you down / Terminator, thief of desire / No one's gettin' out of this town / Fucking up the embers of fame / Choking on the embers of fame
[break][break]

02. BYE BYE, ROBBIE WILLIAMS
She's as old as she wants to be / And as cold as ice / She can walk like a millipede, right out of your life / It'll be "thanks for the memories" / A ghost in her machine / If you've tested her twice, then you'll know what I mean / Cause she's so cool / She's moving into your mind, alright, and out of your life / Leave you lovesick and lonely / She's probably wearing your shirt tonight, waving bye bye / Isn't she lovely? / She ain't taking no shit, she never did / Nobody's ever beat her since she left the house for dead / And she's better than you, even better than me / And I guess I'll never have her, but as long as I can breathe / She's so cool
[break][break]

03. THE BRITS, ROBBIE WILLIAMS
Oh, I recall taking in the wonder of it all / I'm still looking for an answer through the looking grass / Still not concentrating at the back of the class / No thanks, sir, this one's for you / It's like a VD clinic: only pricks are in it / So fucking dull and professional and timid / To be frank, sir, I prefer this showbiz cancer / I still want to get laid by you, right / I'll be that mega white thing, fast as lightning / In Knebworth shape but twice as frightening / If they can't be bothered then I promise you this / If they won't entertain you, then I'll do my fucking best / I still wanna get laid by you / Would you let me lay you down right here? / Would you let me live?
[break][break]

04. PRETTY WOMAN, ROBBIE WILLIAMS
Hey pretty woman, I wanna take you out / I know a place we can move our feet downtown / Ease into the rhythm when I hear that sound / My momma taught me and I do not back down / Hey pretty woman, I love the way you move / Winding down low to that baseline groove / The way you're dancing got me in the mood / Daddy told me it's what grown folks do / You can make me beg / Take my last dollar / Oh honey, you can take it any way you wanna / The way you move your legs, well, it just ain't proper / Why don't you shake what you've been given from your mama? / Hey pretty woman, your daddy don't know / Take what you want from me, I can't say no / Just put your hands on my body, let me taste your lips / I put my hands on your body, baby, work those hips / Hey pretty woman, na na na, I'm in love / You are the only one I'm thinking of / Hey pretty woman, if you feel the same / Just say "Hey there, boy, bring that beat back again"
[break][break]

05. OUT OF THE GAME, RUFUS WAINWRIGHT
I'm outta the game, I've been out for a long time now / I'm lookin' for something, can't be found on the main drain, no / Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you, suckers! / Does your mama know what you're doin'? / You're only a child with the mind of a senile man / You're only a young thing 'bout to sleep with a sea of men / Just hangin' around, wearin' somethin' from God knows where / Just havin' a ball, makin' all of the thin cards fall
[break][break]

06. MOTHERFUCKER, ROBBIE WILLIAMS
One day you're gonna be told about how daddy let his demons out / Yeah, he made them scream and shout / One day soon you'll be old enough / You'll go out on your own and stuff / If you start losing hold of love, it's because / Your uncle sells drugs! Your cousin is a cutter! Your grandma is a fluffer! Your granddad's in the gutter! Your mother is a nutter! Your mother is a nutter! We are mad motherfuckers! You're a bad motherfucker! / And I'd like to sing a song that says that you'll be fine / But now you know me so you know that I'd be lying / One of the things you get from me and your mother / Is that we're bad motherfuckers, you're a bad motherfucker
[break][break]

07. BRUCE LEE, ROBBIE WILLIAMS
I was a sick child, teardrop in the rain now / Whole life a hurricane of pain and doubt / No redemption if you call my name / I'm gonna rock you til you sing it again and again / I'm like a jet plane, cruising at velocity / A cut vein, dripping my biology / Got no dimensions, ain't got no novocaine / I'm gonna sing it til I bleed it again and again / I've got to leave this house and go and find the others / There's got to be some freaks like me / A bit mental but we make damn good lovers
[break][break]

08. BULLY, ROBBIE WILLIAMS
Never test the temper of a patient man / You've been trying to be understood and boy, do I understand / When you die, the world's gonna be lighter / See the heart of the champion, through the eye of the tiger / I simply don't care, if you hate me or love me / Pass me the pistol, shoot the bully / Hoo ha! Had to hurt myself / Hoo ha! Shot myself again / Hoo ha! I can't make it up / I'mma make it go away, I'mma make it disappear / Hell is empty, mama, the devil is here / Look at you, walking round like you're some kind of genius / Feel the steel, go tell it to Jesus / I've seen your soul, man, it's so ugly / Cock the pistol, shoot the bully
[break][break]

09. I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU, ROBBIE WILLIAMS
You can have anything, anything, they say / A million sweet temptations, a billion times a day / Pale imitations is all I got / I want it all and you got the lot / I don't want to hurt you, ain't that what the players say? / While they seal your fate and lie right to your face / I don't want to hurt you, cause I recognize the truth / That you cannot be replaced, so I'm just not going to / So you've chosen me and honored me with your love / You showed me a world and what it could be made of / Thought you were crazy to put your trust in me / Cause I doubted myself from the beginning so completely
[break][break]

10. FIND A PLACE TO CRASH, ROBBIE WILLIAMS
I'm on a mission to abuse my position, abuse it with you / Love, I'm a cynical bitch / I'm gonna scratch that itch with a bitch like you / Modern thinking's made me miserable / Everything is unforgivable / If not for you, I wouldn't come at all / Find a place to crash / Move your bony ass / Love me like I'm cash / You can feel the clash / If there's a freak in here looking for someone like me / I fit their description perfectly / Boom boom boom, I bet they'll resent you / They would if they met you, met you with me / Every move you make is poetry / They all fake what you do naturally / If not for you, I wouldn't come at all
[break][break]

11. OH WHAT A WORLD, RUFUS WAINRIGHT
Why am I always on a plane or a fast train? / Oh, what a world my parents gave me / Always traveling, but not in love / Still, I think I'm doing fine / Wouldn't it be a lovely headline? / "Life is beautiful", on the New York Times
[break][break]

12. HALLELUJAH, RUFUS WAINRIGHT
Your faith was strong but you needed proof / You saw her bathing on the roof / Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you / She tied you to a kitchen chair / She broke your throne / She cut your hair / And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah / Maybe there's a God above / And all I ever learned from love / Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

[PTab=And Another]

[attr="class","littlecloud-tunes"]Just another compilation because I'm literally a mess. Again, not stuff that Dane listens to but songs that give me Dane feels. Some of them ("Put It On Me" and "Word of Mouth" mostly) sort of make me think about how Dane is viewed in the Guild (and by the Wayland faction especially). He's always the fuck-up. Did something go wrong? Was it possible Dane was there? Then it was probably Dane. Actually, you know what, go ahead and tell them it was him even if it wasn't, he'll be happy to be that thorn in someone's side. Content to take his father's wrath with a sneer. He'll be your scapegoat. [break][break]



LYRICS UNDER THE CUT



[break][break]
01. SILVER SCREEN, JONNY T

Why do you still think that I'm charming? / Just here to crash another party / I could get away / But I love the chase / Man, everyone's after me / Cause we're at the apogee / And they think they got me beat / There's just no escape / It's a perfect day / Yeah, everyone's after me / Just here to make a little trouble / Won't use the door if there's a window / Why can't you see I'm not the hero? / I'm not the hero / I'm not a hero, no

03. WORD OF MOUTH, ALLAN RAYMAN

Well, you know what's wrong with me / I keep on going on, I keep on chasing things / Type of things no good for me / You know what's wrong me / I blame that on word of mouth / Feed me, I'm hungry, I'm bleeding, take from me / I'm wounded, haunted, out here, they got me / Word of mouth, bring em out / Put em up, knock em down / Chew em up, spit em out / It's word of mouth, it's word of mouth / Rip your lip off, sick of your lip / Slick and smooth talk

04. PUT IT ON ME, MATT MAESON
Hung high and dry, where no one can see / If there's no one to blame, blame it on me / Storm in the sky, fire in the street / If there's nothin' but pain, put it on me / I know that you'll never feel like I do / I will break into pieces right in front of you / I will burn down the city and string up the noose / And you'll watch in wonder

05. PRETTY BUG, ALLAN RAYMAN

I had a pair ones / It wasn't good for me / I don't want a little thing to take away my sleep / I have a little itch / I scratch until I bleed / And I don't want a little thing to take away my sleep (I just wanna get dirty) / Oh, pretty bug hangin' out underneath my feet / When I move forward, I end you, and that sits well with me / Sweat until we drop, yeah / Break each other's knees / A subtle lie, set to lay / We just have to wait and see

07. BAPTISE ME, BLACK MATH

I got lies, a million / Broke promises that I swore / Dilate my eyes, no whites, low light under the door / And I know I walk this road alone / I don't need redemption, no, don't save me / Just wash me in your sea, c'mon baby / Drown me like you do / Hate me like you do / Dunk me in your water / Make me lose my breath / And baptize me again / I get up, get my boots on, put one foot down in the mud / And this town's got nothing left but the fight that's in my blood
[break][break]

08. TROUBLE, ADAM JENSEN

Standing at the gates of hell, circling the drain / Lately I just hate myself but damn I love the pain / Everything is blurry now and I don't know where to go / And when the static fades to black, yeah, I'll be singing all alone / There's trouble in my daydreams / It's all I've ever known / The day that I was born, trouble won't leave me alone / It's flowing in my bloodstream and running through my veins / And when I lose my mind, it's trouble that remains / Baby, I'm a powder keg, waiting to explode / They say I'm a lunatic, passed out in the road / Yeah, I'm a ten cent man in a hundred dollar suit / Baby, you should look the other way / Forget my name, cause I'm no good for you / There's no silver or gold in my kingdom of dirt / All of that treasure is suffering and hurt / She ripped out my heart, the blood is still spilling / I can't be your hero so I'll play the villain (ha)

09. FREAK LIKE ME, NOMBE

My baby is a freak like me and she knows just what I like / She carries all the keys to the places that no one dares to find / She won't tell nobody what goes on in these walls / If they talked, they'd probably tell you all about love / My queen got machine gun hips, better duck once they go off / Takes aim, no intentions to miss, oh my, so help us all / And it's close to a fight in the midst of neon lights / And my neighbors, they greet me with bags under their eyes (and they know why) / I swear by God you are an angel / Ironic how you help me raise hell / I let it go, surrender control as she takes me for a ride / Hands in the air, we offer our souls, it's easy when she's on my mind
[break][break]

10. LOVING YOU IS GONNA KILL ME, ADAM JENSEN

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth / Stop all the lies and start telling the truth / I got blood on my mind and dirt on my face / We go together like leather and lace / Better the devil you know than the devil you don't / Easy to give up control but you know that I won't / Touch me, hug me, kiss me, thrill me / Loving you is gonna, is gonna kill me / Rip off the band-aid and step on my pride / You leave me in pieces but won't take me alive / Burn all the bridges, wouldn't stop if I could / I don't even care, even though that I should
[break][break]

11. BALL AND BISCUIT, THE WHITE STRIPES

It's quite possible that I'm your third man, girl / But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son / And right now you could care less about me / But soon enough you will care by the time I'm done / Let's have a ball and a biscuit, sugar / And take our sweet little time about it / Tell everybody in the place to just get out / And we'll get clean together / You'll read it in the newspaper / Ask your girlfriends and see if they know / That my strength is ten-fold, girl / I'll let you see it if you want to before you go

14. CARRION COMFORT (SLOWED), AESEAES

I'm craving an excuse / Dumb danger to let loose the dogs to fight / Wring the world black, springs on my back, teeth tearing at the skin / Bleeding, a blundering mess, beetles and worms in his chest / Sorry seeder, bottom feeder, nipping at what ankle's left / All you wanted was a little taste / Won't let a single sinew go to waste / You should stop, you know, you know you should, but / But nothing else could make me feel this good / Voices howling and it's out of control / Until you're nothing but an animal / Carrion comfort me

GAVYN'S PLAYLISTS



[PTabbedContent]

[PTab=Gav's Jams]

[attr="class","littlecloud-tunes"]Gavyn's music is all over the place. He's definitely got dozens of playlists for all sorts of moods, including soundtracks to musicals and folk/acoustic musicians. He's really into 90's R&B, boy bands, and "classic" party jams like Brittney Spears and Madonna. There's really nothing he won't listen to though. If it's got a beat and makes you feel a certain way then you'll catch him groovin'. These are songs he'd definitely blare from his car or get down to while he half-ass cleans the apartment or walks to work. If anyone can jam to these, you're BOMB in his book! He'd love to scream these out with someone.[break][break]

[PTab=Performance Vibe]

[attr="class","littlecloud-tunes"]This second playlist for the kind of songs/music that Gavyn himself would play/perform. Just his general performance vibe (which consists largely of The Amazing Devil and some cheesy/romantic musical stuff). Songs will def be added to that one as I come across them. [break][break]

Because I love Fra Fee so much, please someone listen to Clockmaker's Daughter it's soooooo gooood~ Plus "A Million Things" is such a beautiful song I CAN NOT.[break][break]

BONUS PLAYLIST(S)



[PTabbedContent]

[PTab=Dino Wayland Wanted a Quiet Life]

[attr="class","littlecloud-tunes"]
"The Ten of Swords shows a man lying face down, apparently dead, with ten swords in his back. A red cape drapes over the lower half of his body as a sign of dignity as he leaves this world. While the dark sky is ominous, the sun is rising on the horizon, bringing a renewed sense of hope and opportunity. The calm sea in the background also brings solace, suggesting that even in times of darkness, there is a sense of peace and calm to be found."


A bonus mix for Dino Wayland, who I have a lot of feelings for. Basically, this playlist is 50% instrumentals that you can listen to while you bleed out in the ocean because the Dino in my head romanticizes water and dying in water.

"It was that calming ebb and tide that always reminded him of death. It would be a gentle, kind surrender — a light, comforting hug that soothed even as it suffocated. When he'd dreamed of it as a kid, it was just like falling asleep. But as he'd grown older, he'd become increasingly aware of the unsettling probability that his death — befitting a man of his family — would be one riddled with blood and pain. His more sleepless nights were full of those quick, thrashing dreams too. But even then, he still imagined water. [break][break]

He had always known he would die young, with blood seeping his clothes and his body splintered in a broad array of aches and pains. But the vastness of water around him would ease all that hurt — not completely, but enough. His mind would quiet... would become a swirling mess of disconnected memories and images in place of logical thought. A lot of his life, he didn't want to remember. But as his lips parted to allow the first mouthful of crippling liquid down his throat, he would recall the things he'd always held onto. Like the warm sunlight of laundry days with his mother when they hung the sheets to dry outside. Her bark-colored eyes and the smile — the same as Dane's, but gentler — that always unfolded so generously across her features. Water would gush over his ears and pommel his senses... it would draw crimson from his ugly wounds in thin, trailing tendrils... but the crashing noise and the pain would fade to muted static; overwhelmed by the memory of his friend's little sister, cackling with delight as he tickled her. It would be these images that coaxed him into deeper sleep as he sunk through the depths..."

LYRICS UNDER THE CUT



[break][break]
01. MOTHER, I'M HERE, DARREN KORB[break]
(I like to imagine this is Dino being brought back home; it feeling and being much more like a slow march to execution than a joyous homecoming. Him giving Mona a soft smile when she finally sees him; so very sad to break her heart twice)[break][break]

I set my sail / Fly the wind it will take me / Back to my home, sweet home / Lie on my back / Clouds are making way for me / I'm coming home, sweet home / I see your star, you left it burning for me / Mother, I'm here / Eyes open wide / Feel your heart and it's glowing / I'm welcome home, sweet home / I take your hand / Now you'll never be lonely / Not when I'm home, sweet home
[break][break]

02. CUT ME DOWN, KEVIN MORBY[break]
(When his bloody past finally catches up to him; facing the firing squad, thinking over the last five years of his perfectly-insignificant non-existence)[break][break]

Birds will gather at my side / Tears will gather in my eyes / Throw my head and cry / As vultures circle in the sky / And you're going to do what you came here to do / So why not do it now, oh and cut me down? / No one, no way to go / Take me as I am, a man / And they are going to do, what they came here to do / I can see it in them now, they're going to cut me down
[break][break]

03. UPWARD OVER THE MOUNTAIN, IRON & WINE[break]
(Another song for his Mama. He'd have a lot of guilt for leaving her, making her think he was dead, putting her through that grief, etc. There would be times when he wished he could somehow let her know he was doing okay.)[break][break]

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten / Sons are like birds flying upwards over the mountain / Mother, I made it up from the bruise on the floor of this prison / Mother, forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to / Mother, don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the corner / Mother, don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting it together / Sons are like birds flying always over the mountain
[break][break]

04. THRENODY, GOLDMUND[break]
Instrumental
[break][break]

05. LONG NIGHTS, EDDIE VEDDER[break]
Have no fear, for when I'm alone / I'll be better off than I was before / I've got this life, I'll be around to grow / Who I was before, I cannot recall / Long nights allow me to feel I'm fallin' / I am fallin' / The lights go out / Let me feel I'm fallin' / Safely to the ground / I'll take this soul that's inside me now / Like a brand new friend, I'll forever know / I've got this life and the will to show / I will always be better than before
[break][break]

06. CATCH THE RAINBOW, RAINBOW[break]
(It'll come to an end eventually; they'll find him one day)[break][break]

We believed we'd catch the rainbow / Ride the wind to the sun / Sail away on ships of wonder / But life's not a wheel with chains made of steel / So bless me / Come the dawn
[break][break]

07. PERIPHESCENCE, GLOWWORM[break]
(Instrumental)
[break][break]

08. BEAUTIFUL LOSER, BOB SEGER[break]
He wants to dream like a young man / With the wisdom of an old man / He wants his home and security / He wants to live like a sailor at sea / Beautiful loser / Where you gonna fall? / When you realize you just can't have it all / Beautiful loser, never take it all / Cause it's easier and faster when you fall / You just don't need it all
[break][break]

09. A GALLANT GENTLEMAN, WE LOST THE SEA[break]
Instrumental
[break][break]

10. SANTA MONICA DREAM, ANGUS & JULIA STONE[break]
You tell me stories of the sea / And the ones you left behind / Goodbye to the roses on your street / Goodybe to the paintings on the wall / Goodbye to the children we'll never meet / And the ones we left behind / I'm somewhere, you're somewhere / I'm nowhere, you're nowehere / I could go there, but I don't
[break][break]

11. TOGETHER & DOWN, BENOIT PIOULARD[break]
Oh bury me and sing to the seeds / At least I can't say I didn't hazard a try / To embellish my joys / There will be no moment of silence when I die / Only a moment of noise
[break][break]

12. INTO THE FRAY, MARC STREITENFELD[break]
Instrumental
[break][break]

13. KAZE WO ATSUMETE, BINI COCOTTE [break]
(I personally like the version by Happy End better, but it wasn't on Spotify — a song that seems fitting for that whole "enjoying the insignificant things in life" that dino's all about, like watching boats on the water and stuff)[break][break]

As I was walking down a towering alley in the outskirts of the city / I saw beyond the blotched fog a streetcar still sluggish from sleep, crossing over the sea / That's why I want to gather the wind (under my wings), gather the wind (under my wings) and run across the blue sky / As I passed through a beautiful sunrise / I saw beyond the empty-looking breakwater / a city with its day-colored sails up, moored in the port / When I was killing time one morning at an empty coffee shop / I saw through the cracked glass the rustling of the high-rises' silken clothes brushing on the sidewalk

14. DESERT SONG, EDWARD SHARPE & THE MAGNETIC ZEROS[break]
I was born the devil's son / Yes, my dad, he gave my name / Now my mama keeps saying / Run to the desert, you will be all that you need to be / Run to the desert, you will see all that you need to see
[break][break]

15. WOLVES, PHOSPHORESCENT[break]
Mama, there's wolves in the house / They're tearing up holes in the house / They're tearing their claws on the ground / They're staring with blood in their mouths / Mama, they won't let me out
[break][break]

16. HOUSE BY THE SEA, MODDI[break]
They say home is the place where your heart is / Then I am home now, though I am far away / For so long I've let the forest guard it / And now it's begging me to stay / And I'm trying my best to be tough / To pretend I am strong and siphon it off / But I'm not who I wanted to be / In my heart, I belong in a house by the sea / This is not who I want you to see / It's just adding on weight to the darkness in me / They say home is a place you can choose to be / And I've decided to carry home inside me / So it's not really as if I am leaving / It's more like something pulling me / Cause behind everything that I do / I just want to forget, want to carry this through
[break][break]

17. SO STRANGE, PACIFIC AIR[break]
Who cares about my name? / Who cares that we're not dead? / Who cares that I haven't given up? / Who cares that I'm a man who knows what he wants? / I've tried to, I've tried to run, to free my soul / Wide open, wide open space can be so cruel / I'm at home but I can't sleep / All my pictures just look so strange
[break][break]

18. SHALLOWS, DAUGHTER[break]
Let the water rise, let the ground crack / Let me fall inside, lying on my back / When I go, find me in the shallows / When the time comes on the last day / When they start to come down / Will you just, will you run away? / And let it all rain down from the blood-stained clouds / Come out, come out, to the sea, my love, and just drown with me

26. DEADMAN'S GUN, ASHTAR COMMAND[break]
Your hand's upon a deadman's gun and you're looking down the sights / Your heart is worn and the seams are torn and they've given you a reason to fight / And you're not gonna take what they've got to give / And you're not gonna let them take your will to live / Because they've taken enough and you've given them all you can give / And luck won't save them tonight / They've given you a reason to fight / And all the storms you've been chasing about to rain down tonight / And all the pain you've been facin' / About to come into the light
[break][break]

27. TORNADO, JONSI[break]
You grow, you roar / Although disguised, I know / You'll, you'll learn to know / You grow, you grow like tornado / You grow from the inside / Destroy everything through / I wonder if I'm allowed ever to see / I wonder if I'm allowed to ever be free / You sound so blue / you now are gloom / I wonder if I'm allowed just ever to be
[break][break]

28. OUTRUNNING KARMA, ALEC BENJAMIN[break]
Outrunning karma, that boy / And he'll race for miles through the night / He runs because he knows he cannot hide / He's never gonna make it, all the / Poor people he's forsaken, karma / Is always gonna chase him for his lies / It's just a game of waiting, from the / Chruch steeple down to Satan, karma / There's really no escaping 'til he dies / Outrunning karma, that boy / Can't run no farther, it's the / Last days of Sparta, follow / Him down to meet Apollo / Then he'll brace for battle in the night / He'll fight because he knows he cannot hide
[break][break]

+ OLD FRIEND, ANGUS & JULIA STONE[break]
(Unfortuantely this one's not available on Spotify)[break][break]

You seen the days when the roads were death / And the fires burned right to the brim / And you saw the good in the worst of the crooks / And your story begins / The sun it burns so I jump right in / I felt the cold sea kiss my skin / I turned around and you were gone / And I'm thinking of you / Old friend, where you headed for now
[break][break]

+ I KNOW I'M A WOLF, YOUNG HERETICS [break]
(This one isn't on Spotify either, big sad)[break][break]

Dear rabbit, my legs are getting weak chasing you / The snow fields wouldn't seem so big if you knew / That this blood on my teeth, it is far beyond dry / Oh rabbit, my claws are dull now so don't be afraid / Yes, I know I'm a wolf and I've been known to bite / But the rest of my pack, I have left them behind / And my teeth may be sharp and I've been raised to kill / but the thought of fresh meat, it is making me ill
