TAPE INFO: recorded 1/12/24 on a 90min type 1 sony HD cassette. tracklist condensed from 3hr+ writing mix.
THE TITLE: from rain in soho by the mountain goats. this track is actually on the jigsaw survivor support group mix and not this one.
THE VIBE: at some point you can't just coast by on the high of having survived; at some point you have to ask yourself if trusting someone is worth the risk; at some point a choice must be made.
selected lyrics
never there - CAKE
take the time to get to know me
if you want me why can't you just show me?
cut me open - um, jennifer?
darling, eat my insides / don't i make you insane?
don't you want me closer / or are we playing a game?
the bends - saint mela
i can pop a cork, twist a tag / clutch my glass and reach way back
but i don't always move as fast as you do, so
sometimes i find you in the bottom of a bottle
where you've gone is someplace i won't follow
do me a favour - the arctic monkeys
ask anyone they'll tell you that it's these times that it tends
to start to break in half / to start to fall apart
hold on to your heart
dilaudid - the mountain goats
cause you just can't do things your body wasn't meant to
hike up your fishnets / i know you
if we live to see the other side of this / i will remember your kiss
so do it with your mouth open / and take your foot off of the brake
black sun - death cab for cutie
there is whiskey in the water / and there is death upon the vine
and there is grace within forgiveness / but it's so hard for me to find
codependency - orla gartland
i'm not happy if you're not happy / and i swear that you're always sad
you're not happy if i'm not happy / and i swear that i'm always sad
the world's so small - sunfish
so tell me lies for one more night
tell me all the reasons you're right
forget we ever spoke a word at all
repeat - julien baker
on and on and on i chase your form across the bed
leave it up to me until you come to turn it in
say i miss you like a mantra / 'til i forget what it means
doesn't matter what you tell me / i just need to hear you speak
hang on me - st vincent
i cannot stop the taxi cab from crashin'
and only lovers will survive
'cause you and me
we're not meant for this world
lover i don't have to love - bright eyes
you write such pretty words / but life's no story book
love's an excuse to get hurt / and to hurt
why can't you be - third eye blind
why can't you be the part of me that's missing
instead of leaving me for some other
say we're perfect for each other
and i know we won't go spend this life alone
selected lyrics
get gone - fiona apple
i'll idealize and realize that it's no sacrifice
because the price is paid
and there's nothing left to grieve
oh god - those darlins
when i pressed it to my ear / i heard you whine
oh god i heard you whine and moan...
and in a frantic voice you asked
what have i done / you said oh god what have i done
dream state... - lucy dacus
and then the water came / and washed it all away
it left me with nothing to say
could not believe my eyes / i could not recognize
your face in the rubble
without you, i am surely the last of our kindwithout you, i am surely the last of my kind
the kids aren't alright - fall out boy
empty your sadness / like you're dumping your purse on my bedroom floor
we put your curse in reverse
and it's our time now / if we want it to be
maul the world like a carnival bear set free
and your love is anemic / and i can't believe
that you couldn't see it comin' from me
where does the good go - tegan and sara
look me in the eye / and tell me you don't find me attractive
look me in the heart / and tell me you won't go
look me in the eye / and promise no love is like our love
something i can never have - nine inch nails
everywhere i look, you're all i see
just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be
come on and tell me
i want you - mitski
you're coming back / and it's the end of the world
we're starting over and i love you darlin'
and i am done, dear
cherry wine - hozier
her fight and fury's fiery / oh but she loves
like sleep to the freezing
sweet and right and merciful / i'm all but washed
in the tide of her breathing
sour breath - julien baker
but i shouldn't have built a house in the middle of your chest
plywood boards joined at your breast
splinter in my arm where you rest your head
checking my watch till you come to bed
kiss me goodnight with your sour breath
floodwaters - defiance, ohio
i was wading through the floodwaters / and you were waiting out a drought
do i have that kind of love?
is that what it would take to see this out?
there will be no divorce - the mountain goats
and you were sleeping on the floor / breathing free and even
if i ever want to drive myself insane / all i have to do is watch you breathing
P.S. idk what's going on with the formatting here but i apparently can't cast small my text on every letter so enjoy?
