So Much (For) Starters.
All starters are lyrics taken from the album So Much (For) Stardust by the band Fall Out Boy, released March 24, 2023. Please feel free to change as you see fit. ( Seeing as I’ve made this meme the day this album came out, some lyrics may be incorrect. My apologies! )
Love From The Other Side
“You know I'm dying out here.”
“What would you trade the pain for?”
“You were the sunshine of my lifetime.”
“I'd never go, I just want to be invited.”
“Sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse.”
“Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand.”
“Nowhere left for us to go but Heaven.”
“Give up what you love before it does you in…”
Heartbreak Feels So Good
“No matter what they tell you, the future's up for grabs.”
“Is there a word for bad miracle?”
“Nobody said the road was endless.”
“Could we please pretend this won't end?”
“We could cry a little? Cry a lot?”
“We could dance our tears away, emancipate ourselves.”
Hold Me Like A Grudge
“When you ask how I've been, I know you mean well.”
“I guess I'm getting older 'cause I'm less pissed.”
“Silent killers are these years coming like waves.”
“You put the ‘fun’ into dysfunction.”
“Hold me like a grudge.”
“The world is always spinning, and I can't keep up.”
“Part-time soulmate, full-time problem.”
“I guess, somehow, we made it back.”
“I am a diamond on the inside, just add the pressure!”
“I thought I knew better, I thought it would get better.”
“I figured somehow by now, I would have got it together.”
“We'll do more than just get by.”
Fake Out
“Make no plans and none can be broken.”
“Do you laugh about me whenever I leave?”
“Do I just need more therapy?”
“Love is in the air, I just gotta figure out a window to break out.”
“My mood board is just pictures of you.”
“I'm not sad anymore.”
“We did it for futures that never came and for pasts that we're never gonna change.”
Heaven, Iowa
“Kiss my cheek, baby, please.”
“Would you read my eulogy?”
“I will never ask you for anything — except to dream sweet of me.”
“I will never ask you for anything.”
“Tell me when the party ends.”
“Will you still love who I am?”
“They don't know how much they’ll miss.”
“Save your breath; half your life you've been hooked on death!”
“Be careful what you bottle up.”
“I'm saving this all for later.”
So Good Right Now
“We'll drive until the engine just gives up.”
“I know I've made mistakes, but at least they were mine to make.”
“I'll be whatever you need me to be.”
“I cut myself down to whatever you need me to be.”
The Pink Seashell
“There's no point to any of this, it's all just a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes.”
“I take pleasure in the detail, you know, a, a Quarter Pounder with cheese? Those are good.”
I Am My Own Muse
“I like playing dumb, letting you figure me out.”
“I was faded, in my own defense.”
“We got to throw this year away.”
“The trumpets bring the angels, but they never came.”
“I know I keep my feelings so tucked away.”
“Just another day spent hoping we don't fall apart.”
“Let's twist the knife again like we did last summer.”
Flu Game
“I guess to you now, I'm just a face in the crowd.”
“Oh, God, kindly please, would you kill me now?”
“Carved out a place in this world for two, but it's empty without you.”
“I've got all this love I've got to keep to myself.”
“All this effort to make it look effortless.”
“I can't be who you need me to be.”
“Every candle's gotta run out of wax.”
Baby Annihilation
“Time is luck, and I wish ours overlapped more.”
“The first time I took the mask off, just had another one on underneath.”
“I'm just melted wax on a birthday cake, another year fades away.”
“If you want a job done right, you gotta do it yourself.”
“What is there between us, if not a little annihilation?”
The Kintsugi Kid (Ten Years)
“I'm pretty sure, as far as humans go, I am a hard pill to swallow.”
“I spent ten years in a bit of chemical haze and I miss the way that I felt nothing.”

“Four of the Ramones are dead.”
“And I miss the way that I felt nothing.”
“You don't know me anymore.”
What A Time To Be Alive
“That’s the way the world used to be before our dreams started bursting at the seams.”

“Everything is lit except my serotonin.”
“Please, I just need someone to hold me.”
“Oh, what a time to be alive.”
“They say that I should try meditation, but I don’t want to be with my own thoughts.”
“I just want to be your cherry on top.”
“when I said ‘leave me alone’ this isn't quite what I meant.”
So Much (For) Stardust
“I feel like something that's been stretched out, over and over again.”
“I don't have the guts to keep it together.”
“Life is just a game, maybe.”
“I'm stuck in a lonely loop.”
“I need the sound of crowds, or I can't fall asleep at night.”
“Another year of possibilities left unwrapped like gifts the day right after Christmas passed.”
“I'm pretty positive my pain isn't cool enough.”
“I think I've been going through it.”
“In another life, you were the sunshine of my lifetime.”
“I used to be a real go-getter.”
“I used to think it'd all get better.”

FALL OUT BOY'S "SO MUCH (FOR) STARDUST" STARTERS
taken from the 2023 album. feel free to change pronouns, etc.
LOVE FROM THE OTHER SIDE
' i'm dying out here. ' ' what would you trade the pain for? ' ' we were a hammer to the statue of david. ' ' we were a painting you could never frame. ' ' you were the sunshine of my lifetime. ' ' this city always hangs a little bit lonely on me, loose like a kid playing pretend in his father's suit. ' ' i'd never go, i just want to be invited. ' ' you've got to give up. ' ' don't fight it. ' ' i'm sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse. ' ' i just about snapped. ' ' don't look back. ' ' every lover's got a little dagger in their hand. ' ' i'm falling in and out of love. ' ' i'm getting that tilted feeling. ' ' nowhere left for us to go but heaven. ' ' summer's falling through our fingers again. ' ' we're taught we've gotta get ahead no matter what it takes, but there's no way off the hamster wheel on this rat race. ' ' i saw you in a bright clear field, hurricane heat in my head. ' ' it's the kind of pain you feel to get good in the end. ' ' give up what you love before it does you in. '
HEARTBREAK FEELS SO GOOD
' no matter what they tell you, the future's up for grabs. ' ' is there a word for a bad miracle? ' ' nobody said the road was endless. ' ' nobody said the climb was friendless. ' ' could we please pretend this won't end? ' ' it was an uphill battle, but they didn't know we were gonna use the roads as a ramp to take off. ' ' we could cry a little, or cry a lot. ' ' don't stop dancing. ' ' don't you dare stop. ' ' we'll cry later or cry now. ' ' we could dance our tears away, emancipate ourselves. ' ' but baby, heartbreak feels so good. ' ' heartbreak feels so good. ' ' we said we'd never grow up. ' ' it's open season on blue moods. '
HOLD ME LIKE A GRUDGE
' when you ask how i've been, i know you mean well. ' ' who am i dialing tonight? ' ' that's a bummer. ' ' burn feelings for twenty summers. ' ' i'm just a cherub riding comets through the night sky, screaming at the stars like night lights. ' ' i love my life. ' ' i guess i'm getting older, cause i'm less pissed. ' ' to the end of the world. ' ' you put the "fun" into dysfunction. ' ' hold me like a grudge. ' ' the world is always spinning, and i can't keep up. ' ' i can't do it on my own. ' ' part-time soulmate, full-time problem. ' ' i guess somehow we made it back with a few dreams of ours still intact. ' ' i am a diamond on the inside, just add the pressure. ' ' i know it's inside me, but i've got no map to my own treasure. ' ' i thought i knew better. ' ' i thought it would get better. ' ' i figured somehow by now i would have got it together. ' ' if you put your heart in it, then we'll do more than just get by together. ' ' i'm like a storm on the horizon. '
FAKE OUT
' take a knife and cut through the darkness. ' ' i make no plans, so none can be broken. ' ' remember us just like this forever. ' ' this can't last. it won't last. ' ' do you laugh about me whenever i leave? or do i just need more therapy? ' ' love is in the air, i just gotta figure out a window to break out. ' ' i'm buried alive inside my dreams. ' ' my mood board is just pictures of you. ' ' i'm not sad anymore. ' ' i didn't take the love when i had the chance. ' ' do i still need more therapy? ' ' we all started off as shiny dimes, but we all got flipped too many times. ' ' we did it for futures that never came and for pasts that we're never gonna change. '
HEAVEN, IOWA
' you and i and a screw top bottle of wine? ' ' i feel so "a star is born." ' ' kiss my cheek. ' ' would you read my eulogy? ' ' i will never ask you for anything, except to dream sweet of me. ' ' when the party ends, will you still love who i am? ' ' scar crossed lovers forever. ' ' i'm checking myself out forever. ' ' i'm saving this all for later. ' ' here, we are untouched forever. ' ' they don't know how much they'll miss, at least until you're gone like this. ' ' save your breath. ' ' half your life, you've been hooked on death. ' ' half my life i've been hooked on death. ' ' twice the dreams, but half the love. ' ' be careful what you bottle up. ' ' the chemistry is a mess, it seems, but i'm still a sunbeam. ' ' i closed my eyes inside of your darkness and found your glow. ' ' shake things up, and see what comes down. '
SO GOOD RIGHT NOW
' i got this doom and gloom in my mind. ' ' i feel alright. ' ' let's sneak in from the cheap seats. ' ' we'll drive until the engine just gives up. ' ' feeling so good right now, so we'll crash and burn somehow. ' ' i know i've made mistakes, but at least they were mine to make. ' ' all of our wildest dreams, they just end up with you and me. ' ' i was drifting from the start, and i ripped myself apart. ' ' i'll be whatever you need me to be. ' ' i'll cut myself down to whatever you need me to be. '
THE PINK SEASHELL
' my parents got divorced when i was five years old. ' ' i saw my father about three times a year after that. ' ' he gives me this big pink seashell, and he says to me "the answers are all inside of this." and i'm all like, "what?" now i realize that the shell's empty. there's no point to any of this. ' ' it's all just a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes. ' ' so i take pleasure in the detail, you know? a quarter pounder with cheese, those are good. the sky about ten minutes before it started to rain. a moment where your laughter becomes a cackle. '
I AM MY OWN MUSE
' here i am. ' ' not sure you should take a chance. ' ' i like playing dumb, letting you figure me out. ' ' i was faded, in my own defense. ' ' drop a bomb on all the things we dreamed about. ' ' smash all the guitars 'til we see all the stars. ' ' we've got to throw this year away like a bad luck charm. ' ' the trumpets bring the angels, but they never came. ' ' no one let them in, 'cause they didn't know my name. ' ' i know i keep my feelings tucked away. ' ' it's just another day spent hoping we don't fall apart. ' ' let's twist the knife again, like we did last summer. ' ' i'm just trying to keep it together, but it gets a little harder when it never gets better. ' ' i'm trying to keep it together. '
FLU GAME
' i guess to you now i'm just a face in the crowd. ' ' oh, god. kindly, please, would you kill me now? ' ' late at night in my room, i lie awake, think of you. ' ' last night i dreamt i still knew you. ' ' i carved out a place in this world for two, but it's empty without you. ' ' i've got all this love i've got to keep to myself. ' ' it takes all this effort to make it look effortless. ' ' confront all the pain like a gift under the tree. ' ' i can't be who you need me to be. ' ' i'm so real that i feel fake. ' ' one day, every candle's gotta run out of wax. ' ' one day, no one will remember me when they look back. ' ' i can't stop 'til we catch all your ears, though. i'm somewhere between mike tyson and van gogh. '
BABY ANNIHILATION
' time is luck, and i wish ours overlapped more, or for longer. ' ' the first time i took the mask off, just had another one on underneath. ' ' i'm just melted wax on a birthday cake. ' ' another year fades away. ' ' it's self-sabotage at best. ' ' you know what they say: if you want a job done right, you gotta do it yourself. ' ' this palace was crystal, but the world was a cruel joke. ' ' what is there between us, if not a little annihilation? '
THE KINTSUGI KID (TEN YEARS)
' i'm pretty sure, as far as humans go, i'm a hard pill to swallow. ' ' i'm not your intended dose. ' ' roll the highlights. ' ' i've got the wrong insides. ' ' i spent ten years in a bit of chemical haze. ' ' i miss the way that i felt. ' ' i passed my old street, the house i grew up in. it breaks your heart. ' ' i felt you at the beginning, but i needed you at the end. ' ' stop me if you've heard this all before too many times after too much alcohol. ' ' you don't know me anymore. '
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE
' that's the way the world used to be before our dreams started bursting at the seams. ' ' we're out here and we're ready. ' ' i don't care if it's pretty. ' ' the view's so pretty from the deck of a sinking ship. ' ' everything is lit except my serotonin and my lightning bolt brain. ' ' i just need someone to hold me. ' ' i just need someone to hold me, even though you don't even know me. ' ' what a time to be alive. ' ' they say i should try meditation, but i don't want to be with my own thoughts. ' ' i just want to be your cherry on top. ' ' when i said "leave me along," this isn't quite what i meant. ' ' what's left? ' ' sometimes you wonder if we're ever looking back. '
SO MUCH (FOR) STARDUST
' i'm in a winter mood, dreaming of spring. ' ' i've been burning myself down. ' ' i feel like something that's been stretched out, over and over again, until i'm creased and i'm about to break down the middle. ' ' stars are the same as ever. ' ' i don't have the guts to keep it together. ' ' i'm stuck in the permafrost. ' ' life is just a game. ' ' i'm stuck in a lonely loop. ' ' so much for stardust. we thought we had it all. ' ' i need the sound of crowds, or i can't fall asleep at night. ' ' i can't take my thoughts. ' ' another year of possibilities left unwrapped like gifts the day right after christmas passed. ' ' i'm pretty positive my pain isn't cool enough. ' ' ache 'til you make it. ' ' i think i've been going through it, and i've been putting your name to it. ' ' in another life, you were my babe. ' ' in another life, you were the sunshine of my lifetime? ' ' what would i trade the pain for? i'm not sure. ' ' i used to be a real go-getter. ' ' i used to think it'd all get better. '

ꜱʜᴇ ʟɪᴋᴇꜱ ᴀ ʙᴏ��! ɪ'ᴍ ɴᴏᴛ ᴀ ʙᴏʏ — ʟᴜᴄʏ ɢʀᴀʏ ʙᴀɪʀᴅ ♡
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
☆ ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢ: SFW | mentions of canon typical death
☆ ᴘᴀɪʀɪɴɢ: Lucy Gray x fem! Capitol! Reader
☆ ꜱᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ: you confess your feelings to Lucy Gray by a song and the aftermath of it
☆ ᴀ/ɴ: this was inspired by She Likes A Boy by nxdia! Give the song some love! And i used the lyrics from that song!
masterlist | navigation
Tumblr media
You were a Capitol citizen too. But when you heard Sejanus Plinth, your best friend was volunteering to be a medic, you didn't hesitate to do the same. You didn't know the actual reason why he had done so, but things got clearer when you saw Coriolanus Snow on the same train.
Then came Lucy Gray Baird in District 12. She with her mockingjays and snakes. The victor of the annual Hunger Games. She was different from what you saw on TV. Prettier for starters, her voice softer, her accent thicker when she talks to you. She explained the beauty of twelve so simply that the Capitol seemed boring to you.
It didn't take much for you to fall in love with her. It wasn't just her songs, but everything about her. Her knowledge about nature, the way she cares about the Covey. Everything about her made you devote yourself every day.
Even though you volunteered to be a medic, Lucy Gray was healing you.
You also knew that Lucy Gray and Coriolanus Snow were together. You don't regard Coriolanus as a good man. His eyes are too hard and sharp, unlike the boy you knew in the Academy. This is a man, a demon in the flesh. You avoided him as much as possible, but sometimes it's impossible too because he was always near the songbird. Keeping an eye on her, being jealous of any man near her. You were lucky you were a woman otherwise you probably would have been shot by now.
It was a day when Coriolanus Snow wasn't present in the hob that you decided to spill your heart to the songbird. In the morning, no one was present, you and Lucy Gray had volunteered to clean the space for some quick change after a party. You take time cleaning mopping the floor, wondering if you should walk up the stage and sing the pathetic song you wrote about her.
You knew you couldn't outright confess to her, that you would get rejected on the spot. So, music was the only way because you can lie about its origins. You walk up to the stage and Lucy Gray doesn't notice. The mic was on and you swallowed your palm sweating. You were so, so nervous.
And then you begin singing,
“She likes a boy!
She likes a boy!
and I'm not a boy!
and I'm not a boy!”
Your voice is awkward, but it gets her attention so you continue,
“she’s covey with a pretty face
strawberry lips, oh it’s wasted
on this dumb boy who likes the chase”
You meet her eyes and she knows this song is for her despite the fact your singing isn't very good and your eyes are watering because you want her, you want her, you love her. She doesn't feel the same.
“Fuck that guy!” You finished screaming, in a similar manner Lucy Gray had when her name was spoken in the reaping. You wipe the tears that had fallen and you want to run, not wanting to face the inevitable fallout of your actions.
She walks up to the stage and turns you around so you can look at her. She holds both of your hands. And you begin to speak, being ready to lie straight from your teeth that the song is not about her.
“Lucy-”
“Shush,” she whispered, her doe-brown eyes looking into yours. “Let me…” she whispered before she leaned in to kiss the tears still falling from your eyes. She does it with a few teardrops, with each kiss her lips are closer to yours. You stopped crying, your heart beating out of its ribcage out of anticipation.
She doesn't kiss you, much to your disappointment. She pulls back and doesn't say anything. She doesn't have to, the silence is her answer. You run out of the hob, ignoring her yell for you. The next day, Sejanus Plinth is dead. Your best friend is dead because he was a traitor. The mayor's daughter is missing. Everything is a mess. And you find comfort in nobody, your heart sure that Coriolanus Snow had something to do with it.
Early in the morning, Lucy Gray comes to you whispering about the North. And you agree without even thinking (anything for you, my love). You asked if Coryo was coming and the beautiful songbird shook her head. And, oh, that just cemented your promise even further to go with her.
Within the hours, you travel and travel along with your love who doesn't quite love you back yet to the North, hoping to find paradise.
Years later when you sing the song again. It's sung with joy and a past bitterness. It doesn't matter whether you're a boy or not. Love doesn't work that way. She loves you all the same. The way Lucy Gray smiles at you, she would never do the same with that snake.
You have your North and it's Lucy Gray ♡

"Oh, please, I can't be who you need me to be," Caleb said with a sad sigh running a hand over his face and looking at the other almost apologetic. He wanted to be whatever the other man saw in him but he just... couldn't it seemed like.

Kinktober ‘22 Oct 3. Teacher/Student (WIP)
TOMBUR, 17!Tom 26!Wil, power imbalance, high school, drug use
no NSFW (yet)
lots of jumping around since it’s unfinished, ignore all errors
* ⋆★
Tommy wouldn’t necessarily call himself a good kid.
He would do his homework. He attended all of his classes. He’s averaged an A so far the entire year. So yes, by textbook definition, Tommy was a good kid.
1 Snapchat Notification: Anthony 🤯
“Right before p5 meet C hall bthrm”
“Bring cart Nathan feening 💀”
But he knew the only reason he ever made it through the day was thanks to his passing period restroom stops.
Anyone attending a “Western” high school can explain to you the ins and outs of the passing period bathroom breaks all the teens line up for. Each group eagerly awaits for a friend who has the supply.
And if you’re painfully unaware of the dark market being run in every bathroom stall, Tommy loves to explain it as a “social thing”. He’s just generally a better person like this. It’s an easy conversation starter, a fast in, a way to curry favor with more well-known kids in his school.
And he’s realized his grades have never been better.
Ever since he started smoking weed in his tenth year, he’s found he’s a rather studious smoker. His grades improved dramatically. Math seemed to make sense and he wasn’t struggling with anxiety from his testing. Stiff seats are easy to sit still in when your body finally relaxes. Class notes now fit smoothly in his brain between his knowledge of minecraft and song lyrics. Nothing negative seemed to be coming of his habits, despite the fear he gets from running in this little underground market. Passing a teacher in the halls can be a normal life versus permanent felony situation if they so much as ask to search his bag.
“…that fucking bitch doesn’t know her left from her right. Mate, I swear to God, she asked my chemistry teacher which one is which.”
Tommy chokes on the nicotine he’s hitting, lungs collapse into laughter. Promptly he erupts into a fit of coughing
“Yo, dude, get that checked out…” One of his friends in the stall next door said. “Ha, as if. Imagine being like… ‘Hey mum, my nicotine addiction might be affecting my health, mind if we take a look at it down at the ol’ doctor’s office?’”
The stalls laugh at the absurdity of ever revealing this secret to their parents.
Who cares if he’s started coughing from the metal shards when he laughs?
The day he truly understands he’s a functioning addict is when he makes his fifth stop in the C hall restrooms, waiting for his friend Jay while squatting on the toilet, as his other friend pretends to be doing “normal stall things” (as he puts it).
He knows the risks every time, six boys crammed into a stall to trade flavors and discuss about the girls they want and the bitches they hate, the snake “friends” who rat out others and the teachers they despise. He’s always ready to jump to shut everyone up when a teacher walks in. Sometimes, however, his guard falls.
Fifth period Tommy attends a US History class, something he had wanted to take since he saw it was an available course. His love for the subject, plus his new found study buddy, made the class a perfect choice in his mind.
Tommy didn’t mind attending the class. It had taken him upwards of three weeks to learn the teacher’s name (Mr. Gold, but the class called him Soot), and who he was (he was hired by the school three years ago and has been a teacher ever since), and his love life (he has a girlfriend, but all his classes found a picture of her on his instagram and they think he can do better).
He didn’t, however, have a hard time committing Soot’s appearance to memory.
His curly hair fell perfectly every day without a fail. The tight button up shirts he wore required him to roll up his sleeves if he ever wanted any relief from the room’s broken AC. It’s hard for Tommy to not follow his hands switching between the board and the lesson plan on his desk.
He’d be lying if he didn’t say he thinks that Mr. Gold was finer than the heavens. It seemed to be a popular debate in this girl’s restroom, too; was Mr. Gold hot or was it just the power dynamic?
As Tommy sits with his legs up between the railing and the wall, inhaling his cart like it was his life force in preparation for his fifth period class, he turns his phone for his friends to see. “You can’t tell me he isn’t hot!” He says as he gives the phone over to an equally contorted friend of his. “Gold? Tommy, you’re crazy. He isn’t that hot.”
“Listen I’m not gay but I’d be a victim. I’m just saying.” Tommy takes the phone back as he preheats the battery. One of his friends nods in agreement.
As the debate continues over the attractiveness levels of Wilbur's instagram posts, Tommy pulls up an old high school yearbook photo of the man. “You can’t say you wouldn’t want William Gold to fuck you, I honestly think I give this man fuck me eyes in class accidentally.” Tommy practically yells to prove his point to Aj.
Suddenly, a loud presence enters the bathroom.
“Ok, I know there’s more than one of you in there. Everybody out.”
The boys look around nervously to one another as Tommy holds back laughter. That is definitely Soot.
There is a tense pause. No one wants to respond out of fear of punishment (and slightly because he had to have overheard the conversation they were just having). “Guys, I’m not playing games here. Let’s go. We can take this to the head if we need.”
Quickly the boys hop down from their acrobatic positions and grab their backpacks.
“One, two, three of you!” Mr. Gold sighs at the sight. “Wow, no! There’s more! Five? SIX? There were six of you in there? My God it’s like a fucking clown car.”
The boys shift nervously under his look. “Listen, I don’t care. It’s just protocol. You’re lucky I’m not taking you down to the counselor, it smells like weed in here.” Everyone exchanges quick looks as they continue to try to hide the obvious vapes inside their hoodie sleeves.
“So you just… don’t care?” Tommy pipes up. His friends shoot him scathing looks, as if telling him to not push their luck and get out while they can.
Wilbur seems taken aback by the question. “Well, it’s not that I don’t care, it’s just… Listen, don’t say I’m letting you guys smoke in the stalls. I’m not. I just think you’re smart enough to not be dumb with it again.”
“But if you were truly concerned for our safety wouldn’t you confiscate our shit?”
“Listen, this is great energy Tommy, how about you keep it up in class and stop giving me fuck me eyes the entire period. I get you’re high but try a little harder.”
The entire bathroom goes silent before erupting into laughter. People with no business in the situation Tommy can hear snicker in the background.
“I’ll make sure to have you work for your money today.” Tommy says before Gold shrugs him off to prepare for his incoming class.
“I am so sorry you have to attend his class now.” Tommy’s buddy Nathan pats him on the back. “The sexual tension during lessons boutta go crazy” Aj jokes as he motions Tommy to head to class with him.
“I think I’m gonna be sick.” Tommy says as he sits in front of the classroom door with his head in his hands. “How do I look him in the eyes? I’ll just skip class by going to the nurse.”
Aj jumps in front of him before he can leave. “We’re already five minutes late. Please let’s just go in. The longer you wait the worse it gets and you know that.” Tommy reevaluated his choices before finally agreeing that Aj was, in fact, right, and that they should attend class.
“Tom Simons, nice of you to join us.” Soot singles him out in the middle of his lesson. Tommy’s equally guilty friend slips into the back of the classroom undetected. “Please, take a seat.” The sarcasm drips from his lips.
Tommy sits in his usual seat far in the back next to Aj. The work was boring mundane class stuff. They used their laptops to research the battles fought during the American Independence War and Tommy finished within the first three minutes.
Tommy raises his hand to gloat to his teacher, ready for the victory as he tells Soot his work is “too easy” and to “give him a challenge.”
“I’m done, easy shit.” Tommy says when Soot finally strolls his way over to the seat. He wasn’t prepared for Wilbur to lean over behind him to read, or the way he said “Good job, Tommy” as he got up (he can’t help but imagine him whispering “good boy” into his ear).
His eyes shoot up to meet Wilbur’s. Every quick retort he had loaded to fire falters. He feels like he needs to say something.
“Can I go to the bathroom?”
“Weren’t you just in there?” Soot makes a sarcastic sad face to mock Tommy’s surprised expression. “I remembered hearing a conversation about being a victim, if I’m not mistaken?”
Aj laughs as Tommy goes pale and forcefully chuckles. “Hey, haha, listen man, I-”
“Ok everyone, please discuss with the person next to you the notes you should have completed by now.” He redirects his attention back to the class, the low tone now projecting off the walls indicating he was referring to everyone.
Tommy turns to face his friend on his left. His shit eating grin left Tommy regretting his entire day.
“Can you send me the answers? I was too busy watching the in house entertainment”
About a week had passed since Tommy was caught, and he was being as careful as possible. Last thing he needed was another run in.
His fourth period lunch left quite a lot to be desired; in the mornings he was never hungry. Instead he fills himself with flavored air, weed, and a severely diluted once-iced coffee.
The lunch period only housed one friend every day, but on alternating days up to seven people would sit with them for lunch. Either way he was too high to notice anything happening around him. No difference was it to him if there was one or eight people, as long as he was being supplied the bodies didn’t matter.
These alternating days with a lot of people leads to everyone slowly making their way to the bathrooms after eating, using it as a pit stop and waiting out the remainder of their time.
Tommy had been waiting since 10:15, and the period ends at 10:30. He was finally getting his new cart today. For the last week he was either smoking scraps from all his empty carts at home or his friends’ at school. His “friend”/dealer had told him to wait in here but it was becoming ridiculous.
1 Snapchat Notification: Rizz 🤝
Rizz: “Soot’s on my ass but omw”
Tommy: “dude don’t come in here if Gold is gonna catch us.”
“he already doesn’t like me 💀”
Rizz: “Skill issue he doesn’t think i’m shady.”
“Or at least didnt before this.”
“Honestly Tommy i’d rather save my own ass and give u the shit before he catches me with 16 carts 💀 i’m dealing today i’m way overdue”
Tommy nervously taps his foot in the bathroom stall. He toys with the $50 in his pocket, rolling it up and flattening it. Honestly, he hates the way Rizz deals. His constant lateness, the sloppiness, as if he doesn’t care that this is something serious. This can be a crime if found out by the wrong person, and everyone will be in legal trouble. But to people like Rizz the real world doesn’t exist. The only reason Tommy continues to buy from him is because he gets a $15 discount (Tommy and Rizz’s cousin used to have a thing).
As he fumbles with the airbar in his hand he hears his “friend” walk in. “Open the stall door,” He knocks and Tommy unlocks it. “Here you fucking go.” He drops the cart in Tommy’s hand before opening his palm for the payment.
As he reaches for his pocket, the front bathroom door opens and the boys are sent jumping.
“What’re we doing here?” Gold asks the duo with his arms crossed. The door slams shut behind him.
“I’m paying him back for a meal he bought me last week,” Tommy explains as he gives the money to Rizz. “It was expensive.”
“I can tell. That’s a pretty big wad of cash. How much?”
“$50”
“And how much is a cart?”
“$65, so you can stop being weird about it now.”
“Ok, and so the constant going in and out of the bathrooms, Rizzario… is that just for fun or?”
He puts the money in his pocket. “It’s a pastime of mine. You should see the architecture up in here, truly stunning.”
“Yeah, I’m sure you get a kick out of it. Get to class.”
Tommy’s unfortunate second capture does not deter him from immediately smoking the cart with his friends minutes later in the same stall. He has been waiting for a week and he’ll be damned if he has to wait any longer. The lack of food in his system, along with his slightly reduced tolerance, makes walking to fifth period a little harder than usual.
Immediately upon sitting down it is revealed to Tommy by a kid sitting two seats ahead of him that there’s a test they are taking today and that he’s the only one who could “possibly forget about as big a test as this one.”, and he realizes he’s screwed up when even Aj is caught cramming at the last minute.
“Tommy, are you aware you failed my last test?”
“Yes Mr. Soot, I’m well aware. That’s actually why I wanted to talk to you today. I think I’m a pretty good kid. I do my work, I participate in class, and up until this point I have passed every test with flying colors. Please understand that I do try in this class and I’m not afraid to do extra work to get my grade back up. I’m not asking you to just change my score, I’m really wondering if there’s anything I can do to work for my grade.”
Soot turns to face Tommy, taking off his glasses and laughing. “A good kid? I’d hardly call you a good student.”
“What? Are you crazy? I actually do your work. I do more work than anyone else in any of your classes. I’ve never missed homework, or class work, or done poorly on a test before this. I always answer questions in class and respond when you try to have open discussions in class.”
“And yet, despite all that, you’re not a good student.”
“You’re mental!” Tommy exclaims. “Listen, if you don’t want to tell me where I can get extra credit in my grade, or if you just don’t want me to, then say it! I don’t want nonsense.”
Soot stands from his desk to address Tommy. The silence in the air hangs tight as the man evaluates his words. “You know you’re lying to yourself when you say you’re a good kid.” He finally says. “You know you come into class high every day, with barely any awareness. You babble off in group discussions for minutes on end, related to and not related to the topic. Your homework is subpar at best.”
“At least it’s done, man.”
“We’re not friends, Tommy.”
“Yeah, no shit, I know that. That’s why I came to you in person after class.”
“Mrs. Mark told me you resolve all your issues over email.”
Tommy’s mouth gets dry. Why’s he talking to Mrs. Mark about him? She never liked him much or his tryhard attitude in her stupid Advanced English Language class.
“Did she say I’m a bad kid? I swear she hates me. She’s always picking on me in class.”
“It’s honestly funny Tommy, because if you tried at all you could be such an exceptional student.” His demeanor shifts. Tommy can’t put his finger, but it seems like Gold has something he’s hiding. His mind instantly jumps to things Mrs. Mark could’ve told him. “Everyone keeps telling me that. Clearly it isn’t true if this is me trying.”
The tired teacher throws his hands in the air. “Once again! The lying! You’re so blind to it.” He walks back to his desk from the board for a final time. Throughout his speech he traces the wooden grain on his desk, eyes not leaving the boy’s. “Tommy, listen. You’re such a bright student. You’re wasting yourself with this crap. I know everyone knows you, I understand that you’ve gained quite a highly positive popularity status in this school when it comes to the social hierarchy. But if you just tried you’d see how much more you can do with yourself.”
“Forget it, Soot. I’ll just do better on the next one.”
“Maybe we’ll resolve this over email.” Gold writes out his number on a late pass before handing it to Tommy. “However, I am much more likely to respond over text.”
“No shot.” Kim says as she hands the money to the shopkeeper. “Strawberry Kiwi elf please, love.”
Tommy fumbles, laughing as he pulls out his phone “I swear! Look, it’s saved right here.” He shows her Gold’s contact on his phone, the only texts sent being a “hello” from each of them.
“Then let’s call him.”
“What?”
“If it’s really him, let’s call him. We’ll grab a coffee and walk down to the tracks and call him.” She grabs the box from the cashier. “Thanks, and can we also have…?”
“Cherry Cola Diamond please.” Tommy points to the wall. He reaches over the counter to grab it from the guy. “We can’t just call him. I feel so nervous. What if he’s actually just trying to get me in serious trouble? I mean, look at us.” He points around to the smoke shop they’re in. “This isn’t ok.”
Kim starts walking to the bin down the hall as she unboxes her new toy. “Listen babygirl. Everyone in the school wants that man. You should hear how people talk about him.” She ghosts the nic before dropping it in her cross body bag and strutting out the door, leaving Tommy to catch up. “Bag him, bitch.”
After much debate and argument, finally, at one pm on a saturday, after smoking a joint and walking on the train tracks, Tommy’s finger hovers over the call button.
“Kim, I can’t do it.”
“For christ’s sake,” She hits the button with his finger and puts it on speaker before shooting him an encouraging thumbs up.
As the line rings, Tommy seriously considers laying down on the tracks until the 1:30 pm train hits him.
Finally the line picks up.
The microphone shuffles up against some fabric before becoming clear. Soot’s groggy morning voice seems to burn through his ears.
“Hey, Tommy. Sorry I was sleeping. What’s up?”
He opens his eyes wide and shakes his head no to Kim, who just continues to nod her very adamant yes.
“What am I supposed to say?” He whispers to her.
“Hello?” Soot calls out confused.
“Ask him if he’s free to chat after school tuesday.” She says obviously as she rolls her eyes. Tommy just gives her an almost disgusted look back. “I can’t just… oh my god.” He redirects his voice to the phone. “Sorry, didn’t mean to wake you up.” Was all he could manage.
Gold chuckles slightly. “Don’t worry. I needed to wake up anyway to grade all the homeworks.”
“You’re seriously gonna be grading homeworks?”
“No. You caught me.” They both lightly laughed before realizing they seriously don’t know what to say. “Uhm, what are you doing?” Gold finally asks.
“I’m hanging with my friend Kim, we’re under an overpass by the train tracks.”
“You’ll have to show me one day.”
“It’s right across from the school, maybe I’ll show it to you one day during your break.”
Kim squeals through her hands and kicks her legs like a middle school girl watching her friend call their crush.
“Yeah sure, I’d like that… Listen I should probably get my day started so I’ll-”
“Oh yeah no now of course, I understand. I’ll see you on Monday.”
“Hope not, we don’t have school.”
“Ahaha, right. Forgot. Sorry, bye Soot.”
“Have fun Tommy,” Soot squeezes in before ending the call.
Tommy looks at Kim with a hatred in his eyes. “That was terrible.”
“…and then she made me call him!” Tommy explains his weekend to the morning bathroom bunch.
“You know Kim loves the drama. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s telling everyone right now!”
“Forreal man, why’d you even tell her that shit?” Kim’s ex boyfriend speaks up. “Trust me, she’s a conniving little shit.”
“I’m like best friends with her twin sister Janie ok? The friendship extends to her. Also she asked me to get nic with her. I couldn't say no, she always pays for me. Everyone thank Kim for the free nic.”
“Thanks Kim”s were mumbled throughout the stall.
Aj shoved Tommy hard enough he falls off the wall. “What did you even say? You can’t end there.”
“I was a nervous wreck! He like woke up to pick up the call and his voice was so fucking hot guys. It caught me so off guard to hear it was like one pm, I don’t know why he was sleeping…”
Tommy spent the remainder of their ten minute morning smoke sesh to fill them in on everything that went down, as well as field questions from his friends.
He wouldn’t lie, he loved it.
Just like with weed, it seemed as though good things only came with getting involved with Gold.
He was putting in good words with all his teachers (including Mrs. Mark!), he was the shit in all of his classes, and everyone wanted to know what was going to happen next.
Gold, as well as the rest of the staff of course, were painfully unaware of the rampant “teacher and student” buzz circling around the smoke circles.
Since Tommy’s last little stint with Gold it’s been one week and three days. Nothing has changed, except for having the favor of every teacher he has a class in. He’s too nervous to take the first step into a possible slippery slope of relations with his teacher (as any normal person would be. But sadly, Tommy is not a normal person, not by a long shot, and he knows this as fact as he lays in bed wondering what it would be like to have Gold 6 inches deep in him)
It’s hard to go to school when everyone thinks you’re fucking the teacher. It was supposed to be a joke, the whole thing; Tommy always chooses one joke a year to be his running gag. He had chosen the gay joke “crush on my teacher” route because of how ludicrous the idea of him and a male teacher ever getting together was to him. It was a joke he often made about the old, prehistoric male teachers he had in ninth year, as well as some of the older women too, though most were married and he always thought it felt wrong to talk like that about them.
The weekend rolled around once more and Tommy spent his time out late at friend’s houses, and finally out until two am on Sunday night. He had begged his parents for hours and when they said yes he didn’t care about the consequences of his decisions.
Finally, reality caught up to Tommy, and for the first time since he first started drinking in eighth grade he wakes up with a hangover. Classes seem damn near impossible to stay awake for. He deems his sunglasses aren’t providing enough darkness and accessorizes with a hat from the lost and found bin, in hopes that now the fifth period fluorescent light combined with seeing Soot’s arms won’t make him vomit all over himself.
He strolls into class three minutes late due to having been kneeled over the side of the toilet in the single stall gender neutral bathrooms just minutes earlier. Apparently it’s clear to everyone in the class he’s a hot mess, because all he can hear is everyone asking him if he’s doing alright. He dismissed each one with a “Yeah, no, just tired. You know how school is.”
Before he knew it he was face down on his keyboard.
Tommy was awakened thirty minutes later to the sound of a bang next to him. Mr. Gold had lifted the entire desk combo before dropping it on the ground. “See me after class, Tommy.”
He could probably feel the smirk from Aj’s face even if he was on the other side of the world.
“Really? Falling asleep in class? That’s a new low, even for you.” Gold reprimands him. Tommy stayed. Yes, even he is surprised by it. Usually he’s the first one out the door if a teacher has an issue with him. But something in him almost wanted to hear what he had to say. He was excited for the man to tell him everything he did wrong, how to improve, what to do.
“I’m sorry Mr. Gold. It won’t happen again, I swear.”
They both looked at each other for a minute. “What is your sixth period class?”
“Gym. Such a bore, I hate my teacher so much. She’s so pregnant she can’t even stand near us because she’s scared someone’s gonna hit her.” The two laugh at the situation. “I mean, I can’t help but wonder why she doesn’t just go on maternity leave. Almost all the female gym teachers are pregnant this year.”
“Hey, they got a lot of free time over the summer. What else are they supposed to do?”
“They don’t have to keep fucking like rabbits!” He jokes and they laugh.
Silence once again falls over the room. It’s like something stops them from ever holding a conversation beyond some jokes. They’re too scared to laugh for too long, too scared of being too close, and Tommy’s way too nervous to actually make the first move. Everything relied on Soot.
“Call me Wilbur.”
“What?”
“You can call me Wilbur. William isn’t my first name. Well, it is, but I go by Wilbur.”
“Real quick let me just,” Tommy pulls out his phone from his back pocket and changes Wilbur’s contact name. “I like it. And here, we’ll take a selfie for the photo.”
Tommy turned around and extended his arm to get the two of them in the picture, snapping it before saving all changes. “I think this was a productive chat, Wilbur.”
“Don’t call me that in class or we’ll have issues,” He jokes around (but Tommy feels the difference in the weight of those words). Tommy mocks him before grabbing his bag and heading for the door. “Before you go,” Wilbur stops him just inches shy of the door. “Want to show me that underpass?”
Wilbur called Tommy’s gym teacher, making her aware that the boy was “making up a failed test” and would not be able to attend the period. The two sent off on their walk, Wilbur with his messenger bag and Tommy with some snacks he had in his locker.
Their destination wasn’t far away by any means, but the walk felt like forever as they desperately grasped at straws in order to make small talk.
“So you got a girlfriend?” Wilbur looks at the boy before pulling out his phone. “This is her,” he says, showing a photo of a skinny blonde woman, eyes green, teeth white. “Her name’s-”
“Jenine?”
“Please stop stalking my socials.” Wilbur jokes as he puts the phone away. “But yeah, Jenine. We actually- well, she, actually - decided we should go on a break about four days ago. Took all her shit out of the flat.”
Tommy was taken aback by the demise of their relationship. They seemed really happy from all the posts he saw. “Oh. I’m sorry to hear, man.”
The brunet smiled genuinely. “Nah, don’t worry. Just got more space to put all my useless shit in”
“Like what?”
“I dunno, figured I’d put up shelves to fill the big empty spaces and pile it with games or books or whatever a normal person puts on their shelves.”
“Well what does a non normal person put on their shelves?”
“Youtooz. Way too many to be healthy.”
“I won’t lie, I have a collection too.”
jump #1
Tommy sits on the freezing bathroom stall tile. It looks clean enough to sit on, and he hopes the wet feeling on the back of his leg is actually just his imagination. His bag is over in the corner and his jumper is blocking the awkward vent between the door and the floor that someone might be able to see him through.
The smell of marijuanna that has permeated into the walls of the gender neutral bathroom made his head spin. Tommy couldn’t help but feel slightly bad. What was supposed to be a bathroom for people became a smoke spot. However, it doesn’t stop him from pulling out the crack wire from his bag and hooking it up to his school computer.
He turns the cool glass over in his hands and traces the black mouthpiece. It was almost empty and he didn’t have another 50 to drop. As he places the wires in their appropriate spots he pulls out his phone.
The glass heats up and he takes a hit as he types out a message to his dear friend.
Wilbur (US HISTORY)
can i have a fifty
He knows he won’t respond. It was a dumb thought to even ask him, he fucked up the second he sent the text. Wilbur isn’t dumb. He’ll know it’s for a cart. There’s no way in hell he’d go as far as supplying the boy with drugs.
Wilbur (US HISTORY)
can i have a fifty
I’ll give it to you
after class, ok?
Tommy waits behind after class. Aj’s confused look as he walks out the door is all it takes for his stomach to get queasy again.
jump #2
“Tommy, do you know why I never wear these?”
Tommy, confused, replies no.
“I hate them. I like to think that if I just pretend I don’t need them my eyes will be able to see just fine again. Like a common cold, my eyes will just get over it. But that’s not true, obviously, as we know. You’re not a good student Tommy. You have some serious underlying issues that you’re just self medicating with weed and nicotine and adrenaline rushes. You try to trick yourself into thinking you’re a good student just like I try to trick myself into thinking I don’t need these.” He picks up the glasses before setting them back down. “I don’t know if you’re really all that ‘good’ of a student.”
“I do everything you ask!” Tommy yells. “I have literally done everything you’ve asked. Do you understand how stressful school was for me? Do you understand I had nearly no future in school before this? I was skipping my classes constantly to game and play with my friends. I couldn’t sit still or focus in class ever. Information never made sense. I have found what works for me. One day I’ll be old enough to learn I don’t need it to function. I’ll have options and resources available to get help. I don’t right now though. I have to work with what I have. Something isn’t right up there and weed fixes it. Sorry if you don’t like it but that’s how it is.”
“Tommy, you act like I dont smoke weed myself! I know what it’s like!”
Tommy falls silent. He furrows his brow and contorts his face. “You smoke?”
“Why do you think I gave you that fifty? Why do you think I never actually bust anyone? Tommy, I get it. I did the exact same thing. I still do. The only way I can ever grade all of your shitty homeworks is if I’m high. And I know what it’s like when there isn’t any other option because I didn’t have any. I want to find you what you need.”
“Probably a psych evaluation.” Tommy laughs to himself. “I’m serious, Tommy.”
“Wilbur, I truly appreciate the concern. But “teacher helping me find myself” wasn’t exactly in my life plan. It’s all laid out perfectly, I just have to make it to 18.”
Wilbur stares in disbelief. “Living every day just to make it to eighteen isn’t any way to live. Barely making it through your weekdays just to party on the weekends isn’t healthy.”
“No shit sherlock.”
“I think I will get you a psych evaluation if you keep talking back”
“Alright, fine.”

Hi, everyone! I hope you're having a nice fall weekend. 🍂
I just wanted to share some BEAUTIFUL art I was lucky enough to acquire recently from two incredible artists 🎨
The first is one of my favorite pieces that combines two of my passions, one from my childhood and one since 2019: Peanuts and Bo Burnham!
Tumblr media
Bo as Charlie Brown/Schroeder is just perfect, and I can't rep @lomleyo enough. She is an EXCEPTIONAL artist and also created my SUCH logo that I adore 🥰
I was finally able to pick up the Peanuts print because I needed to get the perfect birthday card for my best friend @ilickedthegardenwall on her 30th birthday—and BOY did Kat deliver on that one!
Tumblr media
All of these prints and more can be found on the artist's INPRNT shop. Check it out! 👀
The second is a recent discovery on Instagram that blew me away: A Vincent van Gogh-style representation of Inside, with so many hidden gems from White Woman's Instagram (like an embroidered fox and dreamcatcher, for starters). Just AMAZING attention to detail!
Tumblr media
I am an ENORMOUS fan of Vincent van Gogh (Starry Night is my favorite painting), so this image spoke to me immediately, and I actually reached out to the artist (Jakobi Holck Luke) to see if he would add it to his Redbubble shop (IncredibleHolck), which he did thankfully.
Fun fact: Bo has been compared to the troubled painter by Pete Holmes ("It's exciting to see van Gogh walking in the Mall of America"), and the lyrics to Vincent by Don McLean really sound like Bo imo (especially the intro and this last section):
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
Anyway, I'm just in love with my new art pieces, and I hope you all consider supporting these two artists in the future! ✌🏼🐔

Speak Now Taylor's Version Sentence Starters except its just the vault songs and better than revenge
change pronouns as necessary, combine lyrics if you want, yada yada, this is purely self indulgent tbh. BTR is here bc of the updated lyrics.
Better Than Revenge
"Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did" "time for a little revenge" "The story starts when it was hot and it was summer" "I had him right there where I wanted him" "She took him faster than you can say "Sabotage"" "I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it" "I underestimated just who I was dealing with" "She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum" "She underestimated just who she was stealing from" "She's not a saint and she's not what you think" "He was a moth to the flame" "She was holding the matches, woah" "she's gonna find stealing other people's toys on the playground won't make you many friends" "There is nothing I do better than revenge" "She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list" "She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it" "I think her ever-present frown is a little troubling" "She thinks I'm psycho 'cause I like to rhyme her name with things" "sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know" "pushing people down to get you where you wanna go" "they didn't teach you that in prep school so it's up to me" "But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity" "I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey" "You might have him, but haven't you heard?" "I always get the last word" "Do you still feel like you know what you're doing?" "I don't think you do" "Let's hear the applause" "Come on, show me how much better you are"
Electric Touch (Feat. Fall Out Boy)
"Just breathe, just relax, it'll be ok" "Just the first time ever hanging out with you" "I've got my money on things going badly" "Got a history of stories ending sadly" "Still hoping that the fire won't burn me" "Just one time, just one time" "All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life" "Got a feeling your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life" "And I want you now, wanna need you forever" "In the heat of your electric touch" "I've been left in the rain lost and pining" "I'm trying hard not to look like I'm trying" "Cause every time I tried hard for love it fell apart" "I've gotten used to no one calling my phone" "I've grown accustomed to sleeping alone" "Still I know that all it takes is to get it right" "Just one time, just one time" "I was thinking just one time maybe the stars align" "And maybe I call you mine" "And you won't need space" "string me along when you decide"
when emma falls in love
"When ___ falls in love, she paces the floor" "Closes the blinds and locks the door" "Jokes about the ways that this could go wrong" "She waits and takes her time 'cause little miss sunshine always thinks it's gonna rain" "I know that boy will never be the same" "'Cause she's the kind of girl that you can't put down" "And all the bad boys would be good boys if they only had a chance to love her" "And to tell you the truth, sometimes I wish I was her" "Hangs in the air like stars in outer space" "she disappears, and we all just laugh after seein' it all these years" "When ___ falls apart, it's when she's alone" "She won't walk away unless she knows she absolutely has to leave" "She won’t lose herself in love the way I did" "'Cause she'll call you out, she'll put you in your place" "met a boy with eyes like a man" "Turns out her heart fits right in the palm of his hand" "Now he'll be her shelter when it rains" "Little does he know, his whole world's about to change" "Yeah between me and you, sometimes I wish I was her"
I can see you
"I’ve been watching you for ages" "Spend my time tryin' not to feel it" "But what would you do if I went to touch you now?" "What would you do if they never found us out?" "What would you do if we never made a sound?" "'Cause I can see you waitin’ down the hall from me" "And I can see you up against the wall with me" "What would you do? Maybe if you only knew" "Then we kept everything professional, 'cause" "Something's changed something I like" "They keep watch for eyes on a stow" "So it's best that we move fast and keep quiet" "You won't believe half the things I see inside my bed" "Wait till you see half the things that haven't happened yet" "I can see you in your suit and your neck-tie" "Passed me a note saying, "Leave me tonight"" "Then you kissed and you know I won’t ever tell" "And I can see you being my addiction" "You can see me as a secret mission" "Right away and I will stop behaving myself"
Castles Crumbling (Feat Hayley Williams)
"Once, I had an empire in a golden age" "I was held up so high, I used to be great" "They used to cheer when they saw my face" "Now, I fear I have fallen from grace" "And I feel like my castle's crumbling down" "And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground" "And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down" "You don't wanna know me now" "Once, I was the great hope for a dynasty" "Crowds would hang on my words and they trusted me" "Their faith was strong, but I pushed it too far" "I held that grudge 'til it tore me apart" "Power went to my head and I couldn't stop" "Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off" "And here I sit alone behind walls of regret" "Falling down like promises that I never kept" "My foes and friends watch my reign end" "I don't know how it could've ended this way" "Smoke billows from my ships in the harbor" "People look at me like I'm a monster" "Now they're screaming at the palace front gates" "Used to chant my name" "Now they're screaming that they hate me" "Never wanted you to hate me"
Foolish One
"My cards are on the table, yours are in your hands" "Chances are tonight you've already got plans" "And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again" "You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high" "Wishful thoughts forget to mention when something's really not right" "And I will block out these voices of reason in my head" "And the voices say, "You are not the exception"" "You will never learn your lesson, foolish one" "Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come" "You will take the long way, you will take the long way down" "You know how to keep me waiting," "I know how to act like I'm fine" "Don't know what to call this situation but I know I can't call you mine" "And it's delicate, but I will do my best to seem bulletproof" "'Cause when my head is on your shoulder it starts thinking you'll come around" "And maybe someday when we're older this is something we'll laugh about" "Now I'm sliding down the wall with my head in my hands" "How could I not see the signs?" "Oh, you haven't written me or called" "But goodbye screaming in the silence" "And the voices in my head are telling me why" "'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings" "I'll get your longing glances but she'll get your ring" "And you will say you had the best of intentions" "And maybe I will finally learn my lesson" "Ain't never gonna come" "Ooh, you will learn the hard way now" "Sitting 'round waiting for confessions of love, they ain't never gonna come" "you should've been walking out" "The day is gonna come for your confessions of love, when all is said and done" "He just wasn't the one, no, he just wasn't the one"
Timeless
"Down the block there's an antique shop" "something in my head said stop, so I walked in" "On the counter was a cardboard box" "And the sign said, 'Photos twenty five cents each" "Black and white, saw a thirties bride and school lovers laughing on the porch of their first house" "The kinda love that you can only find once in a lifetime" "The kind you don't put down" "And that's when I called you and it's so hard to explain, but in those photos I saw us instead" "somehow I know that you and I would've found each other" "In another life, you still would've turned my head" "On a crowded street in 1944" "you werе headed off to fight in the war" "You still would've been mine" "We would have been timeless" "I would've read your love letter every single night" "prayed to God you'd be coming home all right" "you would've been fine" "We would have been timeless" "'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this" "So even in a different life, you still would've still been mine" "I had to smile when it caught my eye" "There was one of a teenage couple on the driveway" "Holding hands on the way to a dance and the date on the back said 1958" "Which brought me back to the first day I saw you" "Time stood still like something in this old shop" "I thought about it as I started looking 'round at these precious things that time forgot" "That's when I came upon a book covered in cobwebs" "Story of a romance tore apart by fate" "Hundreds of years ago they fell in love like we did" "And I'd die for you in the same way" "In the fifteen hundreds off in a foreign land" "And I was forced to marry another man" "Time breaks down your mind and body" "Don't you let it touch your soul" "It was like an age old classic" "The story started when you said "hello"" "In a crowded room a few short years ago" "And sometimes there's no proof, you just know" "I'm gonna love you when our hair is turning grey" "We'll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we made" "And you'll say, "Oh my, we really were timeless""

lyrics from songs by rainbow kitten surprise that might be good for usage as prompts, themes, or starter sentences! i compiled these myself so if i'm missing your favorite song i'm sorry! part 1 | [part 2]
Tumblr media
i don't wanna die alone
hang up when you've had enough
all's well that ends well
do you wanna know my name?
i don't want to die in my sleep
lately, i've been fucking up hard
i hate it when you lie in the thick of it all
i can't take you there
ain't nobody gonna come save you
pack your shit and standby, please
i know you can't walk with them heels in the dark, kick 'em off
you could leave it all behind, even the devil needs time alone sometimes
you could let it all go, it's called "freefall"
can't be bothered, better handle your shit
can i sit down? i've been hustling all day
i can't even count how many souls i've made off the same deal you're on
remember, the devil ain't a friend to no one
it's like 2AM and the bars all close at 10 in hell
you say you're too busy saving everybody else to save yourself
that's not a card that i would've picked but it's your life to live
they say a wise man lends his ears but not his thoughts often. the same is true of undercover cops.
i know i should have been more vocal
sure, i could've been more social
i've been coping okay for the most part
i'll get it right and play nice soon as you do
i've never seen a show stopper like you
could make a boy act stupid
you could sell me on anything
teach me to let it go
i hate fighting when i'm driving
love ain't enough a drug to make us make amends
call me back if you wanna talk
if you needed me then, then, then, why wouldn't you bring it up?
i hate to say that i miss you first
i know us is more than we deserve
it'd be cool if i could stay for a minute
i've been praying for a signal or a sign that you haven't sent
you might be an angel falling from the heavens
i keep the car running, i keep my bags packed
i don't wanna leave
i've been praying for your touch, your glance your hand.
he's a better kisser than you'd think
he's a better listener than most
i hate you more than i miss you
i'd hate to miss you
you don't call, you don't write
i still don't know when i can come home
i promised i would try so i might be a coward
we were a team till you're toxic
i mean you talk shit, often, but once upon a time we were in love
there's two sides to a fair fight and you're the third man out
you asked me if i could grow up but i don't know why for
i'm a palm frond dying on the front porch
thought about calling but i deleted your number and we both know why
truth is when i met you, well you know you made me cry
if i let you stay in my head, then it's overnight
i'm working out the pain
when i'm next to you i can wave to you because we're miles apart
know you wrote me 'bout you changed things, but baby you know me. i don't read a damn thing.

KELLY CLARKSON: BREAKAWAY STARTERS (PART II)
a collection of lyrics from Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway album. change & alter as needed.
"I don't believe in the smile that you leave me with when you walk away."
"For God's sake, could you try?"
"Where is your heart?"
"It's always me that's reaching out for your hand."
"I've always dreamed that love would be effortless — like a petal falling to the ground, a dreamer following his dream."
"Loving you has made me this way."
"Before you point your finger, get your hands off of my trigger."
"This situation is getting old."
"The more you talk, the less I can take."
"Tell me, how come you never showed?"
"I gave you everything, and never asked for anything, and look at me — I'm all alone."
"I want a man by my side, not a boy who runs and hides."
"Is this a dream? If it is, please don't wake me."
"You opened up my eyes to what it's like when everything's right."
"You found me when no one else was looking."
"How did you know just where I would be?"
"I guess that you saw what nobody could see."
"So, here we are — and that's pretty far, when you think of where we've been."
"I was hiding until you came along, and showed me where I belong."
"Dying doesn't seem so cruel."
"I hate myself for losing you."
"You got what you deserved. I hope you're happy now."
"It gets so lonely, being on my own."
"Baby, I've fought for all that I've got."
"If I tried to save him, my whole world would cave in."
"He's such a beautiful disaster."
"I'm longing for love, and the logical."
"I'm searching for some kind of miracle."
