Tori Amos - Crucify

every finger in the room
is pointing at me
i wanna spit in their faces
then i get afraid what that could bring
i got a bowling ball in my stomach
i got a desert in my mouth
figures that my courage
would choose to sell out now

i've been looking for a savior
in these dirty streets
looking for a savior
beneath these dirty sheets
i've been raising up my hands
drive another nail in
just what god needs
one more victim

why do we crucify ourselves
every day i crucify myself
nothing i do is good enough for you
crucify myself
every day
and my heart is sick of being
in chains

Does it mean I'm a terrible person if I laughed at this song lyric? I mean, I guess I felt really bad about it afterwords:

"I said shush girl, shut your lips.
Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips"

Dismemberment Plan - Superpowers

I guess you could call it superpowers
But no one is going to save the world with what I've got

Songs stuck in my head

I've had this short little playlist of songs rotating through my head the past few days. So I'm just going to list them and some of my favorite lyrics from it. Just because that's what's going on in my brain right now.

Folding Chair - Regina Spektor
I've got a perfect body, but sometimes I forget
I've got a perfect body, 'cause my eyelashes catch my sweat.

Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying - Belle & Sebastian
Oh, get me away from here, I'm dying
Play me a song to set me free
[...]
Said the hero in the story, it is mightier than swords
I could kill you, sure,
But I could only make you cry with these words

I'm Glad I Hitched My Apple Wagon To Your Star - Boy Least Likely To
I'm glad I hitched my apple wagon to your star
I never would have got here if I followed my heart
I didn't think much of it until it fell apart
I'm glad I hitched my apple wagon to your star

Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova
...the entire song...

Yeah. now I need to go try to jump start my car in the rain and bring it to the shop. Thrilling day ahead of me, isn't it.
