What Song is in Your Head?

Lyrics

The pulse of sleep is sucking at my eyes
I'm nursing it like a baby while it sucks me dry
And I'm staying up talking to a phone like god
And like a mother, there is never respite
I'm sinking my hands into the piano like mud
I'm hoping and praying that I get stuck
I'm staying up talking to a phone like god
I'm resisting the trip while I'm falling in love
Cause you choose which one you want to rule you the best
A man or the never-ending desire of success
I know which one is in my bed tonight
Dinner's on the table with a pen and a knife
The meal tastes like paper and ink and pain
The words are different but the song's always the same
And while I sit and while I write and chew
I try not to make the song about you

I can be your mother
I can be a dream
I can make it look like it never happened, leave it clean
Oh I could be your friend
Or I could be on my back
I could beg or I could bully
I could brace you for impact
Oh I could be counterfeit
I could be real
I can be the wound in your neck
you tell your friends you can heal.
I could be 500 virgins
I could be 500 whores
I could be anything, anything, anything
but yours...
Yours

You read to me quietly on the window sill
Our bodies will never be close enough if they tried, which they will
You either keep a close eye or a closed eye on it
I watch myself while I ride the emotional dick
Cause you choose which one you want to fuck you in place
A man or the ache in your legs backstage
I know which one gets me on my knees
Gripping my hair like I'm made of sheets
The voice in my ear says "remember the bet"
I'm nodding at nothing, I'm holding my breath
Remember, remember, remember the bet
His love feels like a threat

I could be your mother
I could be mad
I could talk utter bullshit or I could be matter of fact
Oh I could be broken
Or I could be whole
I could be something to fix in your New Year's resolution goal
Oh I could be an angel
I could be a jerk
Make a plan to save me, you can choose if you want it to work
(Save, save me!)
I could be a purity to ruin
Corrupt for you to restore
I could be anything, anything, anything but yours
Yours
Yours
I could be your mother
I could be your dad
I could be the family that you always wished that you had
Oh I could be a kiss
I could be a hit
Lemme know if you ever figure out the difference

Oh I could be a fact
I could be a lie
I could be the truth you search for your whole life but never find
I could be your bravado
I could be gone tomorrow
I could be anything, anything, anything....

This one sits with me a lot, and I listen to this one every day. It's rare that lyrics hit so powerfully for me, but this one's been living rent-free in my head.

Lyrics

Lyrics

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate?
And do they know the places where we go
When we're grey and old?
'Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall, wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She brings flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall, wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall, wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

Not a damn day goes by when something from this album isn't stuck in my head. I've loved Irish music for most of my life and was SO HYPED to hear it in this movie. 10/10 no notes.
