LET ME SERENADE YOU. NO REALLY. STOP RUNNING AWAY.

LYRICS PROMPT MEME

Get your playlists ready, kids. Got a song you relate to a character? To a type of situation? Give it to someone as a prompt and see where they take it! You can use it as a general prompt or have the characters actually sing it or whatever, we're not the cops. If you want to set the mood, you can link the song to go with it.

• Top level your character. Include any details you might think are relevant. Post your own prompt or wait for people to prompt you.
• Reply to other people's top levels! Pick a song with a mood you like, put in a chunk of the lyrics, link ye olde youtube if you feel like it, and wait.
• Feel free to make it pretty for #aesthetic purposes, but make sure it's all legible or else no one will be able to read your prompts.
• Have fun!

1. Justin Cross - Drink the Water

nobody prays unless they lose a son
they don't believe in god till a war's to be won
and i know of truth by the lies i've been told
and the biggest one's that i'm not growing old

it's not a sin if it don't make me cry
he's not the devil 'less there’s fire in his eyes
and it ain’t the ghost if it don’t speak in tongue
and it's not a victory 'til the battle's been won

2. The White Buffalo - Oh darling, what have I done

ooh, oh, i hear what the neighbors say
that that poor boy has lost his way
and i let the others pray

oh darlin, darlin
what have i done
now i do my talking with a gun
and blood will spill into the gutters
and it will stain the morning sun

[can also provide prompts on request.]

1. The Cure - Close to Me

Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until I shake

But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream

2. The Chameleons - Tears

Counting out the chaos in bloom
Carry me home
And I watched the ceiling spin round the room
Carry me home
Well can you tell me how will it be now?
How will it be?
Can you tell me how will it be now
How will it be?

3. [Wildcard.]

You know darn well what it is

Oooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Oooh child
Things'll get brighter
Oooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Oooh child
Things'll get brighter

—❧ "Muddy Waters" by LP
It is not clear why we choose the fire pathway
Where we end is not the way that we had planned
All the spirits gather 'round like its our last day
To get across you know we’ll have to raise the sand

Oooh, I will ask you for mercy
I will come to you blind
What you’ll see is the worst me
I'm not the last of my kind

—❧ "Sights" by London Grammar (Ben Macklin Remix)
What did you do, wonder where
Your heart came from
What have you done
My only friend keep on

Wander or leave,
Turn into winter lights
Keeping your strength
When it gets dark at night

—❧ Bring your own!
Cross-canon & AUs all welcome.

I don't know who you are and what you're babbling about. But if you've commited some sins, asking for mercy is pathetic.

Wash away the anger.

Here I stand beneath the warm and soothing rain,
The droplets falling gently down on the terrain.
Wash away the sorrow, all the stains of time,
But there's no memory it's only dry inside.

In the mud and sinking deeper
Into a peaceful life

And it will come, like a flood of pain,
Falling down on me,
And it will not let up until the end is here.
And it will come, through the darkest day,
In my final hour,
And it will never rest until the cloud are clear,
Until it find my dreams have disappeared.

[[I'll be perfectly honest, I have no idea where I'm going with this, but it fits far too well.]]

Do you spend your day?
Second guessing faith
Looking for a way
To live so divine
Drop your sad pretence
You'll be doing fine
You will flourish like a rose in June
You will flourish like a rose in June
Ever had a little faith?
Ever had a little faith?

II. Halo, Beyonce

Remember those walls I built?
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But, I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

III. Pick your own

I. Take Me Home, Phil Collins

Seems so long I've been waiting
Still don't know what for
There's no point escaping
I don't worry anymore
I can't come out to find you
I don't like to go outside
They can't turn off my feelings
Like they're turning off a light
But I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind

II. Everybody Wants To Rule the World, Tears for Fears

Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

III. Pick your own

I. Hard Times, Patrick Wolf

And through these hard times
We´ll work harder harder
Give me hard times
I´ll work harder harder
For revolution
Hard time for some resolution
Time for some revolution
This battle will be won!

II. Cold War, Janelle Monáe

Bring wings to the weak and bring grace to the strong
May all evil stumble as it flies in the world
All the tribes comes and the mighty will crumble
We must brave this night and have faith in love

III. Pick your own

nature, nurture heaven and home
sum of all, and by them, driven
to conquer every mountain shown
but i've never crossed the river

braved the forests, braved the stone
braved the icy winds and fire
braved and beat them on my own
yet i'm helpless by the river

angel, angel, what have i done?
i've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire
i've conquered country, crown, and throne
why can't i cross this river?

i; i'm out of faith
i'm in retrograde
a dizzy pattern in a cheap parade
and i'm losing touch but i'm not ashamed
of what i say or how nice i play
i'm a trojan horse made of paper mache
what has been ever comes 'round again

and i'm under arrest
i'm shutting down
i'm unimpressed
but i've done my best
an undecided heart makes such a mess

ii; stay here, see me come undone
just free my soul and turn me on
lay me down and stop the time
so long now leave the world behind

we got one minute you know there's no other
it's too late, we're in it, you're blowin' my cover
take me to heaven and back in a second
light up this fire before you come rushin'
