#“i want somebody to take this soul / i can't bear to keep it / i'd give it just to give and all i'd take are the consequences”

i should be allowed financial compensation for every single song mitski's ever written

[pisces-academia]

I want someone to take this soul

I can't bear to keep it

I'd give it just to give

And all I will take are the consequences

Will somebody take this soul?

~ Mitski, 'The Deal'

mitski lyrics, The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We edition

❛ as i got older, i learned i'm a drinker. sometimes a drink feels like family. ❜

❛ did you go and make promises you can't keep? ❜

❛ amateur mistake, you can take it from me. ❜

❛ i try to remember the wrath of the devil was also given to him by god. ❜

❛ i have a hope and though she's blind with no name, she shits where she's supposed to and feeds herself while i'm away. ❜

❛ sometimes i think it would be easier without [them] but i know nothing can hurt me when i see [their] sleeping face. ❜

❛ all of our love is filling all of our room. ❜

❛ now i bend like a willow, thinking of [you/them]. ❜

❛ i sip on the rest of the coffee [you/they] left like it's a kiss left of [you/them]. ❜

❛ something set free is running through the night and the dark awaits us all around the corner. ❜

❛ here in our place we have for the day, can we stay a while and listen for heaven? ❜

❛ i don't like my mind, i don't like being left alone in a room with all its opinions about the things that i've done. ❜

❛ so, yeah, i blast music loud and i work myself to the bone and on an inconvenient christmas, i eat a cake. a whole cake, all for me. ❜

❛ there's another memory that gets stuck inside the walls of my skull waiting for its turn to talk. and it may be a few years but you can bet it's there, waiting still for me to be left alone in a room full of things that i've done. ❜

❛ i want someone to take this soul, i can't bear to keep it. ❜

❛ i'd give it just to give and all i will take are the consequences. ❜

❛ your pain is eased but you'll never be free. ❜

❛ there's a deal that i made. ❜

❛ when memories snow and cover up the driveway, i shovel all those memories and clear the path to drive to the store. ❜

❛ and if i break, could i go on break? ❜

❛ i'll be back in my room, writing speeches in my head. ❜

❛ my love is mine, all mine. ❜

❛ nothing in the world belongs to me but my love is mine, all mine. ❜

❛ nothing in the world is mine for free but my love. ❜

❛ after everyone's long been gone but me, i was hiding or forgotten. the only one left. ❜

❛ now the world is mine alone with no one to share the memory. ❜

❛ you're my best friend. now i've no one to tell how i lost my best friend. ❜

❛ remember when we met, we acted like two fools. we were so glad to have found it. ❜

❛ that love is like a star. it's gone, we just see it shining. it's traveled very far. i'll keep a leftover light burning so you can keep looking up. isn't that worth holding on? ❜

❛ you know i'd always been alone till you taught me to live for somebody. ❜

❛ you believe me like a god. i destroy you like i am. ❜

❛ i'm sorry i'm the one you love. ❜

❛ no one will ever love me like you again. ❜

❛ so, when you leave me, i should die. i deserve it, don't i? ❜

❛ one day, you'll figure me out and i'll meet judgement by the hounds. ❜

❛ people always gave me love. others were never to blame after all. ❜

❛ you believe me like a god. i betray you like a man. ❜

❛ stride through the house naked. don't even care that the curtains are open. ❜

❛ let the darkness see me. ❜

❛ streets are mine, the night is mine. all my own. ❜

❛ oh, how i love me after you. i'm king of all the land. ❜

I want someone to take this soul I can't bear to keep it I'd give it just to give And all I will take are the consequences Will somebody take this soul?

i made this sketch a couple months ago and i just wanted to share it here, im not sure i like it but i thought it would be nice to post it somewhere

[mutsubaki]

I want someone to take this soul I can't bear to keep it, I'd give it just to give And all I will take are the consequences Will somebody take this soul?

because our boy paul is passively suicidal and took his life many times but stayed alive anyway; because he wished to be spared of his life, but couldn't spare feyd's, so now the night has them both

[poisonedprose]

THE LAND IS INHOSPITABLE AND SO ARE WE : Sentence Starters

Lyrics from Mitski's seventh album. Change as needed.

"As I got older, I learned I'm a drinker."

"Sometimes a drink feels like family."

"Did you go and make promises you can't keep?"

"Well, when you break them, they break you right back."

"Amateur mistake. You can take it from me."

"I try to remember the wrath of the devil was also given him by God."

"Mosquitos can enjoy me."

"I can't go inside."

"I have a hope, though she's blind with no name."

"Sometimes I think it would be easier without her."

"I know nothing can hurt me when I see her sleeping face."

"I bend like a willow thinking of you."

"The dark awaits us all around the corner."

"Can we stay for a while and listen for heaven?"

"I don't like my mind."

"I don't like being left alone in a room, with all its opinions about the things that I've done."

"There's another memory that gets stuck inside the walls of my skull, waiting for its turn to talk."

"Look around, listen close, hear it fall from above."

"I want someone to take this soul."

"I can't bear to keep it, I'd give it just to give."

"All I will take are the consequences."

"Will somebody take this soul?"

"Nothing speaks to you in the night."

"Now I'm taken, the night has me."

"You won't hear me singing."

"You're a sage without me."

"Your pain is erased, but you'll never be free."

"If I break, could I go on break?"

"I'll be back in my room, writing speeches in my head."

"Tell me if I could send up my heart to you?"

"Nothing in the world belongs to me."

"My baby, here on earth, showed me what my heart was worth."

"Nothing in the world is mine for free."

"My love is mine, all mine."

"I love mine, mine, mine."

"It looks like dust settled on the world."

"I was hiding, or forgotten, the only one left."

"Now the world is mine alone."

"You're my best friend."

"Now I've no one to tell how I lost my best friend."

"It looks like we've been left in the attic."

"You're not here to see, it's just witness-less me."

"Remember when we met? We acted like two fools."

"We were so glad to have found it."

"That love is like a star- it's gone, we just see it shining."

"I'll keep a leftover light burning, so you can keep looking up."

"Isn't that worth holding on?"

"I'd always been alone 'til you taught me to live for somebody."

"I am yours, no matter."

"You believe me like a God. I'll destroy you like I am."

"I'm sorry I'm the one you love."

"When you leave me, I should die."

"I deserve it, don't I?"

"One day you'll figure me out."

"I'll meet judgment by the hounds."

"People always gave me love."

"Others were never to blame after all."

"You believe me like a God. I'll betray you like a man."

"I love me after you."

"Let the darkness see me."

"Streets are mine, the night is mine."

"I'm king of all the land."

[crispysnake]

I know the song JUST came out but when i listened to The Deal by Mitski.. Vax came to mind so fast I got dizzy guys

There's a deal you can make on a midnight walk alone

Look around, listen close, hear it fall from above

It will ask what you'd give and what you'd take for it in return

I once went on such walk and I found that I'd said

I want someone to take this soul

I can't bear to keep it

I'd give it just to give

And all I will take are the consequences

Will somebody take this soul?

Then, of course, nothing replied, nothing speaks to you in the night

And I walked my way home, there was no one in sight

Save a bird perched upon a streetlight, watchin' me

So, I stopped and let it watch 'til I found that it said

Now I'm taken, the night has me

You won't hear me singin'

You're a cage without me

Your pain is eased but you'll never be free, for

Now I'm taken, the night has me

There's a deal that I made

There's a deal that I made

There's a deal that I made

There's a deal

[merevide]

I WANT SOMEONE TO TAKE THIS SOUL. I CAN'T BEAR TO KEEP IT. I'D GIVE IT JUST TO GIVE. AND ALL I WILL TAKE ARE THE CONSEQUENCES. WILL SOMEBODY TAKE THIS SOUL? then, of course, nothing replied, nothing speaks to you in the night. and i walked my way home, there was no one in sight. save a bird, watching me. so i stopped and let it watch until i found it had said, now i'm taken, the night has me. you won't hear me singing. you're a cage without me. your pain is eased but you'll never be free, for now i'm taken, the night has me.

Jango digs into the carpet with his bare toes and breathes out, chest heaving. It’s warm and damp within the small room, the far window open wide, the curtains still. He rubs his face, combs his hair out of his eyes, and then he pushes off the bed.

He walks shoulder first into the door closed and pauses, annoyed, blinking in the dark. His vision is still blurry with sleep, and the corridor beyond is darker than the room. The house is very quiet—he can hear the insects outside, the structure settling and resettling all over around him, the wooden floorboards creaking under his bare feet. He’s thirsty and sticky with sweat, and his heart hurts so much he feels dizzy with it. 

Blindly Jango starts making his way to the fresher, thinking about fresh, cold water, maybe a shower. 

The corridor feels both longer and shorter than it should. Jango gets the wrong door twice, the late hour and his headache making the dark corridor hard to navigate. He feels as if he were alone in the house, as if he were the last surviving person in the whole galaxy: the quiet is thick and deep and heavy, blankets it all, and Jango finds himself watching his step, keeping himself close to the wall. He feels watched, observed: the dark has eyes, and they follow him all the way to the fresher.

He switches on the light and then dunks his head under the faucet. Cold water rushes with a rumbling of pipes, and Spar blinks, half-blinded. 

He stumbles, reaches out for the door, falls short, hits his back and his right hip against the frame and the wall. The noise of the water hitting the sink is too loud, too much: he reaches out and switches it off with shaking fingers, cold water pooling on his collarbones, dripping to the cool fresher floor. 

Spar barely makes it to the toilet just in time. When he’s done heaving he sits down on the floor, his back to the tub, the harsh white light of the fresher exiling the darkness to the corridor beyond the open door with its glare. He wraps his arms around his knees, hugging his legs to his chest, and thinks of nothing—he’s too tired, and he hurts too much, and he’s too scared. The silence is too big, the house’s too empty, the quiet summer night too dark. 

His right hip hurts. It joins the pain in his head, in his chest. Spar rubs his breastbone through his thin shirt, looking for scars he knows he won’t find.

He really hates Mandalore.
