Sister Imperator, Prime Mover (1969) | Ghost

[sisterimperator]

Option 1
Burn Witch Burn by 69 Eyes

You're staring at your crystal ball
Who's the fairest of them all
Poisoned apples free delivery
What happened to freedom and liberty

Option 2
Howl by Florence and the Machine

The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms, I cannot rest
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallowed ground
And howl

1. following hurts, I'm silent, you know it / had to let you know that I'm disgusted / we hurt ourselves / we should move on to something else / before our hearts explode - Black M, On S'fait du Mal

2. my banker thinks that I might need somebody to help me / whereas my therapist says that I actually need somebody to love me / the passing time always leads us to face ourselves / if it's not me who will resolve all my problems? - Nassi, La Vie Est Belle

3. I didn't know everything would be so different / but as long as you're here it will be like before / from head to toe, in hearts where it is violent / and thanks to you all these people sing - Boulevard des Airs ft. Lola Dubini, Tu Seras la Dernière

wildcard. Bring your own!

1. Remember when we couldn't take the heat?
I walked out, I said "I'm setting you free"
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
When the sun came up you were looking at me

Taylor Swift - Out of the Woods

2. I know you're chokin' on your fears
Already told you I'm right here
I will stay by your side every night

1.
He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Let right or wrong alone decide
God was never on your side

Motörhead - God Was Never on Your Side

2.
I'm haunted
(By the lives that I have loved)
I'm haunted
(By the promises I've made)
I'm haunted
By the hallways in this tiny room
The echos there of me and you
The voices that are carrying this tune

Poe - Haunted

3.
In this farewell
There's no blood
There's no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies

Linkin Park - What I've Done

i.
hello, my old heart
it's been so long
since i've given you away
& every day, i add another stone
to the walls i built around you
to keep you safe
hello my old heart / the oh hellos

ii.
comin' like a hurricane, i take it in real slow
the world is spinnin' like a weather vane
fragile & composed
though i am breaking down again
i am aching now to let you in
hurricane / fleurie

iii.
i feel it in my skin
coming undone again and again
torn at the seam my heart had sewn
holding back the tears shed on my own

if dying is bold, that courage i've got
i could grow old, but i forgot
all that i am is churning inside
the voice in my head is screaming
deep south / cartel

Saddest Blue Dress - Kat Flint
This will not be the first home I've ever wrecked, it's alright, it's alright
And I'll be the dream you can have at your desk
And I'll be the girl in the saddest blue dress, blue dress
I don't know you, but I'm drawing a map of the scars on your skin
And I'd like to, if I'm good will you let me come in?
I want to come in, to come in

Giver - K. Flay
I got so much soul in my body, but no one keeping me honest
And whole days turn into holes in my mind
I got high hopes, lots of potential
I'm high, broke, searching for symbols
And I will not let go of what is mine
I'm learning to live, I'm trying to be better
I'm learning to give, but I don't know if I'm a giver

How Did We Come To This? - The Wild Party
We're all amused, we're all inspired
So cunning, so clever, and so admired
Easy to be angry, easy to dismiss
How did we come to this?
Maybe I've been living in a daydream
Maybe I've been talking in my sleep
If I've been awake, pardon my mistake
But time is running low and talk is growing cheap

Buildings and Bridges - Ani DiFranco
We are made to bleed
And scab, and heal, and bleed again
And turn every scar into a joke
We are made to fight
And fuck, and talk, and fight again
And sit around and laugh until we choke

i.
if i die today, it won't be so bad
i can escape all the nightmares i've had
all of my angry and all of my sad
gone in the blink of an eye

i've seen the devil, i've shaken his hand
i've seen the evil that dwells in a man
for all of my wisdom, i can't understand
oh, mercy me, mercy my
bury me low / 8 graves

ii.
rust is showing on my armor
i am wheezing like an old man done
i'm a product of my anger
i'm the bullet in a loaded gun

stand up, i break my bones
everybody loves to see a fall unfold
ain't nobody giving up
'cause nobody gives a fuck
stand up, & break my bones
everybody wants what they just can't hold
there's nobody praying for me
nobody praying for me / seether

iii.
stand down, there's a fire in my soul
all out yeah i'm losing all control 'cause
we are ready for a street fight

i'm a madman in the trenches
leave you broken & defenseless
nothing's gonna kill me
nothing's gonna stand in my way
street fight / adam jensen

iv.
bring your own!

Dopamine - Barns Courtney
It's the beat in your chest
It's the smoke on your breath
As the dopamine begins to light your eyes
There's nothing but the dust and dirt to keep us up tonight
And my heart is singing, screaming "I'm alive"
Oh, darling, if we end it all at least you're by my side

Promises - Ryn Weaver
Again with excuses and generally wasting my time
Not finding solutions, just seeking my peace of mind
No hocus or pocus, my focus is drunk on the floor
And mumbling something about one more
I'm falling across the line, keep punching pedals at the amber lights
And I cross my heart and hope to die unless I happen to lie, I
Never meant to break my own promises
Never meant to break my own promises
One more night, I said it the last time
But this is the last time, I'll say it a million more

Moderation - Florence and the Machine
I've never made it with moderation
No, I've never understood
All the feeling was all or nothing
And I took everything I could
Can't hold it back, I can't take the tension
Oh, I'm trying to be good
Want me to love you in moderation
Well, don't you know, I wish I could

My Friends - Dar Williams
Well I'm passing through, and we know we won't sleep
She laughs, puts up the tea
She says, "You know I think you remember every part of me"
And the water starts to boil, and if I had a camera
Showing all the light we give and showing where the light extends
I'd give it to my friends
Well, sometimes I see myself fine, sometimes I need a witness
And I like the whole truth, but there are nights I only need forgiveness

kept, movements

Give me something to believe in
I'll give you something to forget

psychomachia, i the mighty

Tell me, where'd that angel perched upon your shoulder go?
Did you pick her up and swallow her whole?
And do you ever miss the balance of the back and forth
Or is it peaceful now without the extra noise?
Tell me, where'd that devil perched upon on your shoulder go?
Did it make your head its home?

i want to be buried in your backyard, nightmare of you

Is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven’t slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
And when the flowers grow, just know you’re still in my heart
You're still in my heart

the adults are talking, the strokes

But then it don't make sense when you're trying hard
To do the right thing, but without recompense
And then you did something wrong and you said it was great
And now you don't know how you could ever complain

love me, counterparts

Will you love me when there's nothing left to love?
