you tried to burn me down,
but i rose from the EMBERS
and set you ablaze.
i. come, pull up
your throne and sit
where good and bad
cease to exist.
— devil's playground : the rigsii. and war is all you ever seen
your war behind the screen
and all it means to me.
—lapse : black mathiii. when the world has
took its part
when the world has
dealt its cards
if the hand is hard,
together we'll mend your heart.
—umbrella (epic trailer version) : j2 & JVZELiv. he says, "ooh, baby girl,
you know we're gonna be legends
i'm a king and you're a queen
and we will stumble through heaven."
— young gods : halseyv. it's in our blood, in our blood
no escape
can't outrun,
no we can't get away.
—the world we made, ruellevi. don't fuck with my freedom
i came up to get me some
i'm nasty, i'm evil
must be something in the water
or that i'm my mother's daughter.
—mother's daughter, miley cyrusvii. when the sky turns gray
and everything is screaming
i will reach inside
just to find my heart is beating.
—bleeding out, imagine dragonsviii. when i was older
i was a sailor
on an open sea
but now i'm underwater
and my skin is paler
than it should ever be.
—when i was older, billie eilishix. in the land of gods and monsters
i was an angel
living in the garden of evil
screwed up, scared,
doing anything that i needed
shining like a fiery beacon.
—gods and monsters, lana del reyx. picture, picture, smile for the picture
pose with your brother,
won't you be a good sister?
everyone thinks that we're perfect
please don't let them
look through the curtains.
—dollhouse, melanie martinezxi. i know it must be hard
to live a lie
you're innocent,
but only in your mind,
so tuck yourself away
with all your pride.
—sleep at night, deathbyromyxii. and the boys always call,
and the girls do too
because in my world
i'm constantly having a breakthrough
or a breakdown
or a blackout.
—clementine, halseyxiii. don't be that way
fall apart twice a day
i just wish you could
feel what you say
show, never tell.
—idontwannabeyouanymore, billie eilishxiv. all the lights couldn't
put out the dark
runnin' through my heart
lights up and they know who you are
know who you are
do you know who you are?
—lights up, harry stylesxv. heard about all the things you've done
and all the wars that you've been in
heard about all the love you've lost
just to start again.
—rear view, zaynxvi. quiet when i'm coming home
and i'm on my own
i could lie and say i like it like that,
like it like that.
—when the party's over, billie eilish
( how to listen: the link to my spotify is the carrd in my bio, or you can search "scottmccutie" )________
a/n:
sorry about the overwhelming amount of billie, but i feel like the songs of hers that i chose truly encapsulate the feel of the book and the things that ontari goes through, especially when the party's over. i tried really hard to fit the songs with the tone that this book will carry!
also, is it really one of my playlists without halsey and imagine dragons??? just be shocked that i don't have a fall out boy song on here
(i really didn't wanna include melanie martinez in here, but the song fits really well... so....)
