[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

There's a gun in my bedside drawer and the safety's in my head

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

And what if I deserve it? So what if I deserve it?

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

Who made me keeper of my happiness

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

I tell myself it'll be over before I know it,
but I know it, and I feel it, and it's still not over

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

We're still going to be friends, right?

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

I hope my little tragedies mean something to you. That's all I am- little tragedies.

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

I could live with losing you

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

I could love no one, but it is enough that others have loved me

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

Everything you love will leave you, you will love everyone who leaves.

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

There's no reprieve for the living- you breathe and you will pay for it.

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

You will forgive me but you won't let me forgive myself

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

I was the echo of an empty prayer
And you were my amen

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

I had to kill these feelings before they killed me

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

Your happiness stings me. Thanatos. I call to your death instinct.

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

ہماری قسمت میں ملنا لکھا تھا، اور بچھڑنا بھی
ہم تو انجام کو نظر میں رکھ کر چلے تھے، محبوب، انجام کو ہی جا پہنچے

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

I don't think you want to hear it.
Knowing is poison.

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

I am angry
(Use your words, use your words, use your words, use your words)
I am so angry

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

Stay with it, live with it, die with it

[Amena & Maryam @therhapsodists]

I don't have much to say. I'm not versed in the ways you'll understand.
