let's destroy themme

by themme fatale

supported by

Ava Schwartz Quiet and biting like a winter's night. They cut right to the quick in a way that feels so cathartic. Favorite track: the girl that never was..

1.	same lanes 02:24	lyrics	buy track
Your posture's terrible Slouched over that keyboard Gotta stand up straight and look ahead At what's waiting for you A one-way ticket out A dream's the price you pay Blackness when you go to sleep If it's never there, you can't take it away I keep changing lanes in vain But the road always ends at the same place There's nowhere else There's nowhere else I can Run There's nowhere else I can run to I guess that I'm done
2.	be around 04:24	lyrics	buy track
Became everything you told me and then some 'Till you took my liberty for ransom Gave me the name and grieved me like I was your dead son I'm finally alive but I guess I'm the dead one Trade me in for a new Benz Diving deep into appearances you knew bends 'Cause a dead son's digestible for your friends So when you pull up to the grave where me and you ended Don't cry Don't shed a tear Save your water for your beautiful lawn Save your salt for when the pepper is gone Throw some money at the wall and see what sticks Don't expect me to be around When I can't even be me around you Don't expect me to be around When I can't even be myself around you I'm so sorry that your love has prerequisites And I'm the one with a deficit You got tired of the weight of the life you gave me Now I'm the one who's left with it Interrogations to address the issue Could be curing cancer, why's a dress the issue? Just wanna open up but I can't express that with you When you hate my nature and deny my nomenclature Don't cry Don't shed a tear Save your water for your beautiful lawn Save your salt for when the pepper is gone You can break every single clock but it'll still tick Don't expect me to be around When I can't even be me around you Don't expect me to be around When I can't even be myself around you This dollhouse is picture-perfect As we sit in silence inside your car This dollhouse just isn't worth it I don't give a fuck enough to play the part You made for me It's plain to see If I'm not yours, then whose could I be? When you're all alone in a house not a home I hope you think of me Don't expect me to be around When I can't even be me around you Don't expect me to be around When I can't even be myself around you Don't expect me Don't expect me Don't expect me Don't expect me Don't expect me
3.	breathing 04:16	lyrics	buy track
Breathing Gets so hard when you're around me Breathing Gets so hard when you're around me Thought my plan was foolproof You were an outlier A statistical exception to my life as an outsider Spent all my time on building my armor Your arrow and quiver Guess I'll die a martyr An oblivious archer you're Making it harder for Me to convince myself of my nonexistent ardor I wasn't where you were aiming Just caught in your crossfire You didn't see the trail of blood You didn't see that Breathing Gets so hard when you're around me Breathing Gets so hard when you're around me Yeah Yeah, yeah Breathing, breathing Breathing, breathing Breathing Just step over my body You already shot me And now you're standing here Filling my wound with sodium chloride It's alright It's ok You weren't looking my way I'd rather die with my honor than take this Farther than it's gone But I never was an option, was I? Uncharted territory, proceed with caution, 'cause I I'm just a fantasy, Mariah, trying to emancipate me me But I'm just a pariah A fake A travesty of my own design Wish on a star that we're compatible but the Planets don't align I wasn't where you were aiming Just caught in your crossfire You didn't see the trail of blood You didn't see that Breathing Gets so hard when you're around me Breathing Gets so hard when you're around me
4.	stay (bedroom demo) 04:27	lyrics	buy track
I'm sorry For making you cry When you were the only one Who stuck by Promises Of expectations and renovations and Promises Of locking you up and wishing that you did Not exist The violence was mutual, truces aren't doable When you're on both sides of it You threw the stones but I'll forgive you You broke my bones but I'll heal with you It'd take a miracle to have you No one else is At your bedside So I'll stay So I'll stay So I'll stay with you So I'll stay So I'll stay So I'll stay with you I'm sorry I ignored your pleads, ignored your needs and Painted you selfish But you made me feel helpless Every time I go out in the sun it's like Icarus I'm sick of this I let you atrophy, anatomy, you're bad for me but there ain't nobody else You knew what I needed, what would be the remedy but I'd stop you Right there Nothing so ugly could ever be above me I'm not sick, I'm just fine I've got time You're not mine You threw the stones but I'll forgive you You broke my bones but I'll heal with you It'd take a miracle to have you No one else is At your bedside So I'll stay So I'll stay So I'll stay with you So I'll stay So I'll stay So I'll stay with you You've taken every piece of me I don't know if I Can handle it Can handle it You've taken every piece Even after all this time So I'll stay So I'll stay So I'll stay with you So I'll stay So I'll stay So I'll stay with you
5.	parking lots (demo) 03:42	lyrics	buy track
Snow falls on dizzy, regimented lines I hold my breath with every flake That falls down, why Can't I feel colder even in the frost? The phone is frozen to my hand Maybe You knew where I was You were the only one who did I wish That I could tell You more but I'd be sorry that I did I don't wanna be alone, but that's all I have The weight is mine to bear alone 'cause it's all I have I just need to be alone, 'cause it's all I have I don't want to lose you now, because you're all I have I put my heart into a vice To squeeze out everything I could My blood runs cold So I've been told My tears are gold I want to glimmer Maybe There is no Point to all of this You know that just as well as me Why do you Try to make Something so dull seem so lively It's getting late I don't wanna be alone, but that's all I have The weight is mine to bear alone 'cause it's all I have I just need to be alone, 'cause it's all I have I don't want to lose you now, 'cause you're all I have
6.	days (feat. Mel Stone) 04:28	lyrics	buy track
The days would pass so quietly, so violently A prophecy I'd follow To a T A town of glass, a girl made up Of laser beams Only a matter of time Before it hits your eyes Running full-speed to stay occupied Tied my laces together, why do I undermine myself I'm all that I've got I'm all that I've got But I just can't have me I just can't have me The best is yet to come The worst is yet to pass You never know the best you have Until it's gone A night as long as you Can make it go The day will come and when it does You just have to move on Running full-speed to stay occupied Tied my laces together, why do I undermine myself I'm all that I've got I'm all that I've got But I just can't have me I just can't have me You take a shot or two You've taken 'em all The night still feels the same Upon your skin You close your eyes at night The sun will rise The sun could rise a hundred times So what's a hundred more? Running full-speed to stay occupied Tied my laces together, why do I undermine myself I'm all that I've got I'm all that I've got But I just can't have me I just can't have me Me

8.	vains (demo) 04:56	lyrics	buy track
Will someone ever Trace the rivers in my thighs? Will I ever See myself through someone else's eyes? Or will I gnaw At every hand that ever fed me? Will this town ever be a memory? Will I grow above the tangle of family trees? Or will my roots Weigh me down And stop my struggling? I wanted to fix the world Put it under my tongue and let it melt Now I'm too broken and ashamed To even fix myself Everyone's got a hole they need to fill With whatever they can get their hands on The more that I fill, the more empty I feel I don't know where I'm going No, I don't know where I've been I know I lost First place We both changed our directions I settled for your silver They say it's better with my Complexion I wanted to fix the world Put it under my tongue and let it melt Now I'm too broken and ashamed To even fix myself Everyone's got a hole they need to fill With whatever they can get their hands on The more that I fill, the more empty I feel I don't know where I'm going No, I don't know where I've been Everyone's got a hole they need to fill With whatever they can get their hands on The more that I fill, the more empty I feel I don't know where I'm going No, I don't know where I've been
9.	the girl that never was. 03:45	lyrics	buy track
"Happy Birthday" they all sing The candles so red hot on my face That they sting But it should've been me You should still be here Won't tell anyone My wish This year I see your face in the mirror As my hair dries Coasting on enough pretty To get By Wasting all my time Taming the creature I've become Is it so wrong To wanna feel right? After swerving the wheel on that dark and Fatal night Like a snake I sat And smelled your copper blood The aroma is sweeter When it's someone you loved If it were you here instead He'd fall at your feet It'd be you in his arms His tongue on your teeth I see your face in the mirror As my hair dries Coasting on enough pretty To get By Wasting all my time Taming the creature I've become So I'll enjoy the cake From a stranger's plate I can still see you clear In the review mirror It should've been me It should've been us 'Cause now I spend my time Mourning the girl that never was
10.	tired. (remastered) 03:05	lyrics	buy track
I'm just tired I know I sound sad on the phone But I'm just tired I'm not down or blue, or in a funk I don't wanna kill myself and I don't think about it all the time I'm quite all right I'm just tired I'm just tired You don't need to hurt your heart for me I'm just tired And when I go to the bathroom I don't think about the way That I would chisel chunks of bone off of my face Or cut them off with razor blades no I'm just tired I'd wear shorts but my legs'll burn I'd be cremated just to have an urn you can keep You can't get burned if no fire flickers So years go by and you just learn To live out in the cold As ice forms on your brow and weighs your lashes down The last thing that you see's a fire burning on And you spite the flames and not the snow I'm just tired I didn't sleep at all last night I'm just tired My mind just started wandering And pondering about how well My belt would fit on my closet hooks Around my neck a panicked look I can't get down I can't scream out at all I'm just tired I'm just tired I'm just tired I'm just tired I'm just tired I'm just tired I'm just tired I'm just tired I'm just tired I'm just so so so so tired
11.	sorry you're gonna hear this on the album, mom 02:11	lyrics	buy track
Swiping the sea Dusting off the sky Bare feet swallowed by surf If only I were like my footprints then I'd be the sea and wash me away Then you'd have an only child You wouldn't need to worry twice I wouldn't haunt this house forever A ghost that won't take your advice I'm just a weight You'd feel lighter without me Extra mass in the universe If only I weren't here in the first place So if I'm gone you wouldn't know how it hurt I'm 22 And counting But I still just sit at home If I say "I love you" so much Why do I spend so much time alone? I'm just a weight You'd feel lighter without me I know you think it'd be worse If only I weren't here in the first place So if I'm gone you wouldn't know how it hurt So if I'm gone you wouldn't know how it hurt

Puberty 2
by Mitski

Mitski is the one of the only artists that has ever made me feel consistently emotional while listening to all her music. Her lyrics perfectly articulate what I feel, usually. She's honestly a genius! themme fatale

Coney
by Mel Stone

Literally all of her songs are great so I really can't pick just one. Her songwriting is probably my favorite out of many artists- she uses unpredictable chords, great lyrics, and is a great musician! themme fatale
