lyrics i like

probabably not the "right" interpretations and proably "incomprehensable" but i live my truth of saying what i like about random lyrics

COME HELL OR HIGH WATER 
THIS SICK WORLD WILL KNOW I WAS HERE
      

- we know where you sleep, now you are one of us

All neutrinos inside electrons
All electrons inside the protons
All the protons inside the atoms
All the atoms inside the ions
All the ions make up the tiny
Every blood cell inside my body
My body lumbers the planet
In a universe that is expanding
Outside the fear I can't fathom
We're inside another atom
  

- your money or your life (the comet), some day this could all be yours (vol 1)

the complete disconnect from how particles are actually related in real lide showing hpw out of touch this person is from reality. also the smallest particles all going up to the universe and the sfeeling of helplessness and insignificance,,

"It's a short pier, it's a long walk home"

- Said the Spider to the Fly, god bless your black heart

its easier to walk off the pier than all the way home,,

*screaming, lots of screaming and shouting*

- all the songs ever

he's saying what we're all thinking

"You will be no more. It probably won't be pretty like in the movies or in fairy tales. Maybe something extraordinary will happen, but probably not. Sometimes people have enough energy to say or do something meaningful right before they die. And that's nice. But that is uncommon. Usually, people just die, and you're going to die too."

- This Is Only a Test (The Tornado), someday this could all be yours (vol 1)

not technically a lyric more a sample but IDC

So Abby, it's far too late for me
I left a notebook on the shelf
Just take the keys, just save yourself
My little Abby, and soon they'll come for me
Just tell my son that I'm sorry
I'll disappear, you now are free


And Abby, it's far too late for me
I left a checkbook on the shelf
Just take the keys, just save yourself
My little Abby, I hope you die laughing
All fat and cheeky in your warm bed
The raven, the vulture won't circle your head
My sweet queen bee, I hope it comes quickly
I hope your thoughts don't drift to me
I'll die in here, you now are free

You now are free

- Your Ankles to Your Earlobes, God Bless Your Black Heart
