“Son, always be a good boy, don’t ever play with guns, but I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.”

Folsom prison blues Johnny Cash

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SKEEZIX.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.

🎶 I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me 🎵

No, his mind is not for rent

To any god or government

Always hopeful yet discontent

He knows changes aren’t permanent

But change is

- Tom Sawyer by Rush

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

Time - Pink Floyd

“The way the trees look dead, reminds me that there’s more to life than living”

Bayside - A Synonym of Acquiesce

Well did you hear? There’s a natural order Those most deserving will end up with the most That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top Well I say, “Shit floats” If you thought things had changed Friend, you’d better think again Bluntly put, in the fewest of words Cunts are still running the world

Jarvis Cocker - Running the world

Time is illmatic

Keep static like wool fabric

Pack a 4-matic to crack your whole cabbage

In the dark we’ll take off our clothes And there’ll be placing fingers Through the notches of your spine

–Neutral Milk Hotel, Two Headed Boy

And every breath that is in your lungs is a tiny little gift to me.

-The White Stripes

This one has gotten me through some some patches, especially for a couple of specific things. One has completely turned around, and I’m glad I waited it out. The other still creates some stress, but there are rewards along the way.

If there were no rewards to reap

(I must keep reminding myself of this) (repeats)

No loving embrace to see me through

This tedious path I’ve chosen here

I certainly would’ve walked away

By now

And I still may

And I still may

And I’m

Gonna wait it out

Wait it out

Edit: Edited some repetitive lyrics for brevity

There’s too many, but I won’t lie if I take any few lines from L. Cohen’s “The Future”:

"Your servant here, he has been told
To say it clear, to say it cold
It's over, it ain't going any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
You feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future: It is murder"

Destroyer is a band whose lyrics I consistently love

“She needs release, she needs to feel at ease with her father (pause) the fucking maniac.” (from European Oils)

“A snow angel’s a fucking idiot somebody made. A fucking idiot someone made in the snow” (from June)

“I piss on the floorboards, the whole world’s a stage” (from Eat The Wine, Drink The Bread)

…Mickey Mouse. We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar, We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika, Amerika" and "We’re all living in Amerika, Coca-Cola, Wonderbra. We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika, Amerika.

And she walks along the edge
Of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she’s walking on a wire in the circus
