happy (almost) birthday, wbb!!!

for the one year anniversary of "waxen // bite back," i wanted to share some of the songs (and lyrics!) that have been most influential throughout the creation of this story and these characters.

check them out below the cut, and thank you so much for reading and sticking with this story. there is so much more to come <3

💘🪓 THE STORY 🪓💘

i don't believe you / no, i don't believe you / but i must / you've got all the right things to say

(note: the lyric "it's not your fault / no, it doesn't have to be" was the title for the first iteration of this story!)

🫀🐺 JOSEF 🐺🫀

i wish you were dead, babe / i can fit two people under my skin / and i will prove it, if you will listen / you crawled up in there, you joined me within

🫂🦷 AARON 🦷🫂

i let it into my home / i let it in from the cold / i let it into my head / i let it into my heart / i let it into my bed / i gave it complete control / i gave it complete control

🎡🦴 SARA 🦴🎡

sunken eyed, hollow / teary eyes, pretty bones / i could never run from it / you know how it feels to be / tired from the weight of it / wake up and you don't feel home
