my favorite lyric from every folklore song, a thread;
"if one thing had been different, would everything be different today?" - the 1
"you drew stars around my scars, but now I'm bleedin" - cardigan
"they say she was seen on occasion, pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea" - the last great american dynasty
"and it took you five whole minutes to pack us up and leave me with it, holdin' all this love out here in the hall" - exile
"and you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain, crossing out the good years" - my tears ricochet
"you are not like the regulars, the masquerade revelers, drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten" - mirrorball
"pack your dolls and a sweater, we'll move to India forever, passed down like folk songs, our love lasts so long" - seven
"so much for summer love and saying "us" 'cause you weren't mine to lose" - august
"It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you, you're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town" - this is me trying
"take the words for what they are, a dwindling, mercurial high, a drug that only worked the first few hundred times" - illicit affairs
"a string that pulled me out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar" - invisible string
"It's obvious that wanting me dead has really brought you two together" - mad woman
"only twenty minutes to sleep, but you dream of some epiphany, just one single glimpse of relief to make some sense of what you've seen" - epiphany
"standing in your cardigan, kissin' in my car again, stopped at a streetlight, you know I miss you" - betty
"but I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm if your cascade, ocean wave blues come" - peace
"my only one, my kingdom come undone, my broken drum, you have beaten my heart" - hoax
"while I bathe in cliffside pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief" - the lakes
