Darlin:
Real men don't need other people / And real men suck it in / Real men don't flinch or bleed in public / Oh, I think I'm a real man
…
Though honestly sir, all I wanna do/ Is get naked in front of you / So you can look me up and down / And tell me, "Well done girl, you're looking good"
Real men keep cool in the face of a fire / Go down with the ship / And real men don't eat, 'cause they're above that, damn it / Oh, I'm gonna be a real man
Though honestly sir, all I wanna do / Is get naked in front of you / So you can look me up and down / And give me your love for being so good
…
(real men by mitski)
Sam:
…
And say I wear my sorrow like a crown / And throw your arms around my head, and see it there in gold and red and brown
As heavy as a history book can be / I will carry it with me, oh Lord / And maybe when the bitterness has gone / There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more
We'll soon forget our parents' names / Like dogs will drive the wolves away / And weep with fingertips opposed / Like a church where nobody congregates
But sweetness sings in the pasture / We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth / If sand and salt have the answer / Then the act itself will be louder than the word
And I'll be on your side
…
(history book by dry the river)
Both Sam and Darlin:
…
And I haven't left the house in 100 years / And you haven't left yours in 100 hours / And we can't keep our hands out of our own mouths / See the horrible habits we acquire
…
And how my stomach burns, but only at night/ When the moon is bright / And I have dreams about bears / With the reddest mouths / But your arms are warm / And your legs are wrapped around / And the sound of your heart
The unsteady sound, I will slow it down
(nervous rex by laura stevenson)
Lovely:
Sun, we have not been friends / We have not spoke in months / Or even made amends
Time, you can have your way / And if you take my nights / Would you leave me my days /
If I, I can't see myself / As the lights go down / I won't see no one else
…
Sun, oh, you do me no good / None of my plans work out / The way I thought they would
If I, I can't be myself / And if the lights won't shine / I'll become someone else
…
So none of my dreams come true / So now I miss you
…
(neon lights by dancing years)
Vincent:
…
Mirror mirror on the wall / What's the meaning of it all?
Wasted all the time / Nothing lasts forever / Maybe I should give up the good fight / Change my image overnight
One thing that I know is that / You don't know a thing about me / I am the young, dumb, chosen one / Losing in the loveliest way / Kids these days
…
(kids these days by shakey graves)
Asset:
Wake me up / Remind me brother, / of who I am / I'm made up, / If I am in pieces we'd be together again
Let's go / To where you remember, hand in hand
I am nothing / I was a hitch / in your program / I was waitin', / watchin', / You held in your hands
…
(hand in hand by makeup and vanity set)

2, 3, 7, 9 and 12 😘
2. what’s your feel-good movie?
I don’t think I return to movies for this purpose, but if I had to choose one… probably something from childhood? Like Goofy Movie or the Sound of Music. Something nostalgic that probably involves singing along.
3. what’s your favorite candle scent?
Peach or pear
7. what color brings you peace?
The shades of green that you see outside on a sunny day when you’re laying in the grass and looking up at tree leaves
9. what calms you down?
Reading
12. how are you?
Happy. Cat in lap. Finally got an Apple Watch yesterday and I set the watch face to go through a folder of photos I put together, and those photos are of friends/family/vacations/my cat/friends’ cats/etc. Basically photos I’d like to enjoy and not just have them disappear into my gallery forever. So I’m really loving that. And I’m using the watch to motivate me to be active so that’s already been fun. Just missed my window to stand up tho cus my cat has been in my lap for over an hour and I refuse to make her move.
Soft asks to get to know me
