Posting the best song lyric I hear each day. Not the song, not the artist, just the lyric. Feel free to reply with yours.
For the sake of pity
Save the pistol
Save the cynic’s tongue
Save the cool, white stare

Chloe’s just like me, only beautiful

The only time I feel good fallin’
Is when I’m fallin’ fast and hard for you.

These old love letters
I just can’t keep
So like the gambler says
Read’m and weep

You called me cerebral
I didn't know what you meant
But now I do, would it have killed you
To call me pretty instead?

And I will never be set free
as long as I’m a ghost, you can’t see

When they’re breaking your back, bring your last straw to me, I turn straw into gold.

She had nothing left to say,
so she said she loved me.
And I stood there, grateful for the lie.

So hold me in the darkness
We can dream about the cool twilight
'Til the dawning of the day
When I make my getaway
To a lipstick sunset

Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap?

Here on the street.

I’ve got six on each arm and two more round my feet.

If the summer change to winter, yours is no disgrace.

“Let this be a warning” says the magpie to the morning

“Don’t let this fading summer pass you by”

Fate, up against your will
Through the thick and thin
You will wait until
You give yourself to him

A wilted recollection to reckon with.

Like legendary lovers, you sigh.
July 12, 2025 at 1:22 AM
We made mad love
Shadow love
Random love
And abandon love

Accidentally
Like a martyr

Jesus rides beside me
He never buys any smokes

She said, “You’re pretty good with words, but words won’t save your life.”

And the didn’t, so he died.

Are your eyes green? Or is it just envy?

So why does she feed me pâté when she knows what that I love to eat

Complicated potatoes again

Replace the rent with the stars above

Replace the need with love

Now there’s one thing in the whole wide world I sure would like to see

That’s when that little love of mine dips her donut in my tea
