lyrics & quotes

sometimes i stumble upon words that make me have an almost out of body experience, i wanted to compile them somewhere

elizabeth bishop - in the waiting room

it was me / my voice, my mouth

kate bush - suspended in gaffa

suddenly my feet are feet of mud / it all goes slo-mo / i don't know why i'm crying / am i suspended in gaffa?

rina sawayama - dynasty

the pain in my vein is hereditary / running through my bloodstream

marina - savages

i'm not afraid of god / i am afraid of man

florence + the machine - how big, how blue, how beautiful

maybe i'll see you in another life / if this one wasn't enough

i forget

this may mean nothing on a cosmic scale, but at a human scale it means everything

fiona apple - every single night

every single night / i endure the flight / of little wings of white-flamed / butterflies in my brain

these ideas of mine / percolate the mind / trickle down the spine / swarm the belly / swelling to a blaze

the rib is the shell / and the heart is the yolk / and i just made a meal for us both to choke on

fka twigs - home with you

i've never seen a hero like me in a sci-fi / so i wonder if your needs are even meant for me [...] / but i'd save a life if i thought it belonged to you

ethel cain - sun bleached flies

god loves you / but not enough to save you

fiona apple - i want you to love me

i move with the trees in the breeze / i know that time is elastic / and i know when i go all my particles dispand and disperse and i'll be back in the pulse

i know none of this will matter in the long run / but i know a sound is still a sound around no one

björk - bachelorette

i'm a fountain of blood in the shape of a girl / you're a bird on the brim, hypnotized by the whirl
