[Captain Maltese]

Do that dirty dance with me (x3)
Let me stimulate your senses
Do that dirty dance with me (x3)
Let me taste your blood…

-Dirty Dance by Black Cat Zoot

[TheHighwayHitman]

Love is evil
Con is confidence
Eros is sore
Sin is sincere

Marilyn Manson, "Deep Six"

[midnightblack]

The foam of nausea slowly rising to the teeth
Yes! Truly adorned with the grim regalia of perdition
I shall hold high a bowl of gems of unseen radiance
Enveloping spirit and will in seraphic rapture
O deformity, hear the weeping prayers
Arise from rot, be my child! Be my promise!

Deathspell Omega - Abscission

[EloquentNurse]

I've been around the world and back and I swear it is all the same.
What I learn?
A prophet don't do it for the profit.

Logic - Lord Willin'

[Gypsywoman]

When you came in the air went out
And every shadow filled up with doubt
I don't know who you think you are
But before the night is through
I wanna do bad things with you

Bad Things
Jace Everett

(I have to admit this is one of my favorite songs ....mostly because of these lines
When you came in the air went out
And every shadow filled up with doubt)

[Captain Maltese]

Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine
Meltin' in a pot of thieves
Wild card up my sleeve
Thick heart of stone
My sins my own
They belong to me, me

- From "Gloria" by Patti Smith

[CassieBear]

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

This is Me - Keala Settle & The Greatest Show Ensemble.

(I see myself posting in this one a lot henceforth as there are a bunch of amazing lyrical quotes out there. This is a new one that while not physically, I mentally connect with these words.)

[Captain Maltese]

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no no
And, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know, feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

- Janis Joplin

[CassieBear]

Am I brave enough?
Am I strong enough?
To follow the desire
That burns from within
To push away my fear
To stand where I'm afraid
I am through with this
'Cause I am more than this
I promise to myself
Alone and no one else
My flame is rising higher

I am the Fire - Halestorm

[TheHighwayHitman]

18 and Life (you got it)
18 and Life (you know it)
Your crime is time
And it's 18 and Life to go

18 and Life, Skid Row

[Revenant]

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
And stars fill my dream
I'm a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race
This world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed

Kashmir -- Led Zeppelin

[Mr Quixotic]

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die."
And I leant down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth

Nick Cave (Duet with Kylie Mingoue) - Where The Wild Roses Grow

[Captain Maltese]

I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still

- "Highwayman", by The Highwaymen (Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson)

[Ari the Witch]

I love you for everything you ever took from me
I love the way you dominate and you violate me
I love you for every time you gave up on me
I love you for the way you look when you lie to me
I love you for never believing in what I say
I love you for never once giving me my way
I love you for never delivering me from pain
I love you for always driving me insane
                          — Blood, In This Moment

[Mellific]

Bat your eyes girl,
Be otherworldly,
Count your blessings,
Seduce a stranger.

What's so wrong with being happy?
Kudos to those who see through sickness

I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it's illegal.
When will we learn? When will we change?
Just in time to see it all come down.
Those left standing will make millions,
Writing books on the way it should have been.

- Warning by Incubus

[Mister Morgue]

Starlight, starshine, no longer do you shine so bright.
The sun frowns, the moon sighs, sad is the universe through my eyes.
l am not just a machine (through my heart I will sing),
I'm just a person holding onto a dream.

You were like starlight, just like starshine,
Casting down on me.

When the light would go down and the darkness was found
You would shine hope to me.

_{"Starlight, Star-shine" - Steam Powered Giraffe}

Cross the border they turn water into wine.
Some say it's the devil's blood they're squeezing from the vine.
Some say it's a saviour in these hard and desperate times,
But me it helps me to forget that we're just born to die.

— Bon Jovi, "Dry County"

[Nymphadora]

Somehow I found myself here today
Awakened to these thoughts and feelings
Or an oceanic sense of lucid dreaming?

Au4 - Everyone is Everyone

[rpguy37]

I’m drunk....
And right now I’m so in love with you,
And I don’t want to think too much about what we should or shouldn’t do...
Lay my hands on heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars,
While the Devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car,
Nothing quite like the feel of something new,

-NIN, “The Only Time”

[Nymphadora]

Every time i turn around
And i'm scared they'll see me
And every time i turn around
There's still no smile
And my eyes they hurt
From all the rubbing
And my mind it hurts
From my eyes

Holly McNarland - Water

[Mellific]

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fail, gonna die

I know exactly what I want and who I wanna be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh no, oh no, oh no!

- Oh No by Marina and the Diamonds

[Amarissa]

Eyes on me like I'm a prize
But you better recognize
I'm not your angel 'cause I belong to me

-Loren Gray

[Naenia Nightshade]

”Mayday! Mayday!
The ship is slowly sinking
They think I'm crazy but they don't know the feeling
They're all around me,
Circling like vultures
They wanna break me and wash away my colors
Wash away my colors”


~My Demons by Starset

[Captain Maltese]

I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still

-Highwaymen; Highwayman

[NiahCatnip]

One look and I'm mesmerized by your eyes,
Becoming like a hurricane, blowing down on me.
