soc characters as fall out boy lyrics

bit niche maybe lmao. this has been lurking in the drafts for a while. was gonna explain them but I think they're all p self explanatory. put a read more after inej bc this gets a bit long

kaz:

My mind is a safe / And if I keep it then we all get rich (27)

I left my conscience pressed / Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer / "What did it ever do for me?" I say / It never calls me when I'm down / Love never wanted me but I took it anyway (XO)

Show me, show me, show me a starry-eyed kid / I, I, I will break his jaw / I won't, I won't, I won't let him get his hopes up / And I will save him from himself / Here's a picture with a note / "No, don't turn out like me" (Snitches and Talkers Get Stitches And Walkers)

inej:

The world tried to burn all the mercy out of me, but you know I / Wouldn't let it, it tried to teach me the hard way, I can't forget it (Sunshine Riptide)

A birth and a death on the same day / And honey I only appeared so I can fade away / I wanna throw my hands in the air and scream (Twin Skeletons (Hotel in NYC) )

Sometimes the only payoff for having any faith / Is when it’s tested again and again every day / I’m still comparing your past to my future / It might be your wound, but they’re my sutures (Immortals)

jesper:

Letting people down is my thing, baby, find yourself a new gig / This town ain’t big enough for two of us / I don’t have the right name or the right looks (Right looks) / But I have twice the heart (Just One Yesterday)

All the yes-men said "No comment" / My mouth got going / The wrong way, and all the calls started snowing / The time my dad caught me a horseshoe crab / And I asked him if throwing it back into the sea would bring our luck back (The (Shipped) Gold Standard)

Follow the disorganized religion of my head and we'll / Never get through customs, let's just take off again instead / Got my degree in the gutter my heart broken in / The dorms of the Ivy League (West Coast Smoker)

wylan:

Oh, I'm a loose bolt of a complete machine / What a match, I'm half-doomed, and you're semi-sweet (Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes)

So put your shame on a billboard for a second / Sometimes, sometimes / The only way out is through (Bob Dylan)

matthias:

I don't blame you for being you / But you can't blame me for hating it / So say, "What are you waiting for? / Kiss her, kiss her" / I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late (A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More 'Touch Me')

So wear me like a locket around your throat / I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke / You look so good in blue (Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner)

nina:

I can make your heart slow / I can feel the weather in my bones / Wish hard enough, I can turn it to what I like / Your pupils (Big) big (Roll), they're rolling like dice (Tiffany Blews)

Oh, put love on hold, young Hollywood / Is on the other line / Her nose runs ruby red, Death's in a double bed / Singing songs that could only catch the ear of the desperate (The (After) Life of the Party)

bonus- kanej:

'Til we're stripped down to our skeletons again / 'Til we're saints just swimming in our sins again / And there's a jet black crow droning on and on and on / Up above our heads droning on and on and on / Keep making trouble 'til find what you love / I need a new partner in crime and you, you shrug (Twin Skeletons (Hotel in NYC) ) (I know I said I wouldn't comment on these but this one works so RIDICULOUSLY WELL it has every single one of their themes and motifs)

We're the has-beens of husbands / Sharpening the knives of young wives / Take two years and call me when you're better / Take teardrops of mine, find yourself wetter / Whoa oh, we're so miserable and stunning / Whoa oh, love songs for the genuinely cunning (The Carpal Tunnel of Love)
