yellowjackets as told by ethel cain’s preacher’s daughter
family tree (intro) → lottie matthews
The fate's already fucked me sideways || Swinging by my neck from the family tree || He'll laugh and say, "You know I raised you better than this" || Then leave me hanging so they all can laugh at me
american teen → the yellowjackets team
Grew up under yellow light on the street ||Putting too much faith in the make-believe || And another high school football team … || Say what you want, but say it like you mean it || With your fists for once, a long cold war || With your kids at the front || Just give it one more day, then you're done || I do what I want, crying in the bleachers || And I said it was fun || I don't need anything from anyone || It's just not my year || but I’m all good out here
a house in nebraska → van & tai
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor || Where the world was empty || Save you and I || Where you came and I laughed, and you left, and I cried || Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours
family tree → shauna shipman
I'm just a child but I'm not above violence || My mama raised me better than that || When the preacher talks, that man demands his silence || And daddy said shoot first then run and don't look back… l again || Take the noose off, wrap it tight around my hand || They say heaven hath no fury like a woman scorned || And baby, hell don't scare me, I've been times before
thoroughfare → natalie scatorccia
Saw our faces at least once or twice || But in these motel rooms || I started to see you differently, oh || ‘Cause for the first time since I was a child || I could see a man who wasn't angry
ptolemaea → the wilderness
You poor thing || Sweet, mourning lamb || There's nothing you can do || It's already been done || What fear a man like you brings upon (Show me your face) || A woman like me || Please don't look at me || I can see it in your eyes || He keeps looking at me || Tell me, what have you done || Stop, stop, stop, make it stop, stop || Make it stop || Make it stop, I've had enough ||
Stop, stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop, STOP
sun bleached flies → laura lee
God loves you, but not enough to save you || So, baby girl, good luck taking care of yourself… || But I don't mind 'cause that's how my daddy raised me || If they strike once then you just hit 'em twice as hard || But I always knew that in the end no one was coming to save me || So I just prayed and I keep praying and praying and praying
strangers → jackie taylor the first sacrifice
Freezer bride, your sweet divine || You devour like smoked bovine hide || How funny, I never considered myself tough … || I tried to be good || Am I no good? || Am I no good? || Am I no good? || With my memory restricted to a Polaroid in evidence || I just wanted to be yours || Can I be yours? || Can I be yours? || Just tell me I'm yours || If I'm turning in your stomach and I'm making you feel sick || Am I making you feel sick?

Yellowjackets characters as Boygenius songs !!
Taissa Turner - Souviner
Always managed to move in / right next to the cemeteries / and never far from hospitals / I don't know what that tells you about me / pulling thorns out of my palm / working midnight surgery / when I cut a hole into my skull / do you hate what you see? / like I do.
Vanessa Plamer - Emily i’m sorry
Headed straight for the concrete / in a nightmare / screaming / now i’m wide awake /spiralling / and you dont wanna talk / just take me back to montreal / i’ll get a real job / you’ll go back to school / we can burn out / in the freezing cold / and just get lost / Emily i’m sorry baby / you know how I get / when i’m wrong / and I can feel myself becoming somebody i’m not / I’m not sorry
Jackie taylor - Cool about it
I came prepared for absolution / if you’d only ask / so I take some offense when you say “no regrets” / […] / once I took your medication / to know what it’s like / and now I have to act like/ I cant read your mind / I ask you how you’re doing / and I let you lie / but we dont have to talk about it / I can walk you home / and practice method acting / i’ll pretend being with you doesn’t feel like drowning / telling you it’s nice to see / how good you’re doing / even though we know / it isn’t true.
Shauna Shipman - Letter to an old poet
I said "I think that you're special" / you told me once that I'm selfish / and I kissed you hard / in the dark / in the closet / […] / you don't know me / I wanna be happy / I'm ready / to walk into my room / without looking for you / I'll go up to the top of our building / and remember my dog / when I see the full moon / I can't feel it yet / but I am waiting
Lottie Matthews - Not strong enough
Always an angel / never a god / always an angel / never a god / I don't know why I am / the way I am / There's something in the static / I think I've been having / revelations / Coming to / in the front seat / nearly empty / Skip the exit / to our old street and go home / Go home alone
Laura Lee - Without you without them
give me everything you’ve got / i’ll take what I can get / I want to hear your story / and be a part of it / thank your father before you / his mother before him / who would I be without you without them? / speak to me / until your histories / no mystery to me.
Natalie Scatorccio - Revolution 0
If it isn't love / then what the fuck is it? / I guess just let me pretend / I don't want to die / That's a lie / But I'm afraid to get sick / I don't know what that is / You wanted a song / So it's gonna be a short one / Wish I wasn't so tired / But I'm tired / If you're not enough / Then I give up/ and then nothing is / I used to think if I just closed my eyes / I would disappear.
Misty Quigley - Stay Down
I wasn’t a fighter til somebody told me i’d better learn / to lean into the punch / so it don’t hurt as bad / when they leave / there you were / turning my cheek / i look at you / and you look at a screen / i’m in the backseat of my body / i’m just steering my life / in a video game / similar accent / a different name / it’s a slow down / so would you teach me im the villain / aren’t I / aren’t I the one / constantly repenting for a difficult mind
