don’t forget me.
you’re holding tight to it, the answer.
i’m looking upwards.
went home and learned how to clean up after myself.
i don’t need a microphone.
i’m getting hard on myself.
she had one white eye, one blank stare.
i realize that you’ve realized.
one of these days i’m bound to choke.
it hit me that i do all the little things that you do.
i got another job at the liquor store.
hey, if you ain’t gonna use it, just give it to us.
i bet we could build a home.
it didn’t take much longer.
look closer and you can see how i’ve been running it.
i know you’re gonna ask it.
i’m a martyr for my love for you.
your mother put her money into platinum and now you never have to pay attention.
didn’t care what harm was done, just as long as they won the prize.
you can’t switch them around for your own satisfaction.
there was a time when all i wanted was my ice cream colder and a little cream soda.
the hunter became the prey.
they’re gonna catch you.
anybody got a christmas tree?
you just keep on repeating all those empty “i love you’s”.
it probably don’t make much sense to you.
in that graveyard, i’m gonna have the shiniest pair of shoes.
i’m bringing back ghosts that are no longer there.
i’m trying to save you.
you probably won’t get what i’m going to do.
i was freaking, i was ready to go.
take your time.
it might sound a little strange for me to say to you, but i’m proud to be you.
i’m gonna catch hell.
we’re not tired.
look at all this, you don’t want it?
come on and give it to me.
this fits me perfect!
what should we do?
it’s a shame, what a lame way to live.
sooner or later, i’ll break your smile.
i’m slowly turning into you.
i’m gonna say these words to you.
maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you.
my dumb-luck fake competence was getting weak.
you’ll probably call me a fool.
i feel like i can’t go through with this.
this place is like a mansion.
yeah, broke as i’ll ever be.
i can use that.
don’t be rude.
making sense of it all takes a whole lotta concentration.
i guess you have to have a problem if you want to invent a contraption.
i’m doing exactly what a coward would do.
you’re far too old.
if you don’t want it, we’ll take it.
i know it.
please be kind…
you say you deserve better.
you do as you’re told.
in their mind there can be no sin.
we could share a kiss.
you’re more beautiful, compelling and stronger.
their roles were reversed from that day.
i love all the little things.
there was nobody else.
i don’t know what to do.
i saw some stuff in your yard, are you going to give it to us?
you built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them fall.
what do i need to say?
where are the angels?
we can do something with them.
i’m breaking my teeth off.
i’m wondering which one of them i should choose.
every time, you get defensive.
well you can’t blame a baby for her pregnant ma.
for a sec’ i thought i sounded sweet.
need a bed?
put your head on my shoulder.
well the hills are pretty and rolling.
i hit myself with a stone.
we’ll be taking whatever you got.
if you’re headed to the grave, you don’t blame the hearse.
i hate to sound cold, but you don’t know what love is.
i’m not in my home.
if you’re testing god, lying to his face, you’re gonna catch hell.
they might need it.
look at this place…
if you don’t want to give it to us, we keep walking by.
you’re not hopeless or helpless.
if you go looking for hot water, don’t act shocked when you get burned a little bit.
we’ll give it a home.
i suspect you’ve got a respectable side.
i’m reacting to you.
i dig your little laugh and i’m loving your quick wit.
gimme a drink of water.
nothing better to do?
you left me brokenhearted.
we keep going.
i’m sending in, the money’s in the mail.
i can tell a joke.
i know the right thing for me to do is to leave you alone.
i didn’t rob a bank.
don’t forsake me.
i ain’t saying i’m innocent.
next time they stab you, don’t fight back.
you can’t take the effect and make it the cause.
you never criticize.
i’m slowly turning into you.
there’s nothing left for me to tell you.
i just swallow it and hold on to it and use it to scare the hell out of you.
why don’t you kick yourself out?
who'da thunk?
love to them was a joke
my head got a bump when i hit it on the radio.
this battle is in the air.
well sooner or later the ground’s gonna be holding all of my ashes too.
tell the truth.
you don’t know this.
i even love it when you’re faking it.
no, she’s my only daughter.
the children are kind.
it’s for someone else’s benefit.
you’re just looking for a fight.
we got married on the tennessee border.
they were just another conquest.
i got a dollar bill in the cockpit.
i can help you find it.
make some money out of them at least…
each beautiful thing i come across tells me to stop moving and shake this riddle off.
just play the victim instead of playing the fool.
they were out to make a conquest.
who is here to greet me?
you burnt my house down, then got mad at my reaction.
they’re annoying as hell, in fact.
you say i’m lying and i never really tell you the truth.
i’m walking away from you.
it’s plain to see that he’s not one of us.
they just end up doing the same thing.
i’m wondering just how i can do that.
i ain’t the reason that you gave me no reason to return your call.
who’s using who?
your face is getting older.
every highway that i go down seems to be longer than the last one that i knew about.
i could stay a while.
something else came to mind.
i ain’t supposed to kiss.
i can still see your face.
try and catch me.
look, i see something over there.
one sound can hold back a thousand hands.
my mind is filled with rubber tires and forest fires.
we’ll make something out of them.
have you got something shiny for me?
i hope you appreciate what i do.
ahh well, what a chump.
you keep blaming me for what you did.
oh well, i’m bone broke.
you don’t know what love is.
i’m beginning to like you.
it made everything clearer.
the hunted became the huntress.
an alley full of rocks was all i had to care about.
look at all this stuff.
well, i can’t keep from laughing.
i don’t know…
what can i do?
they don’t really care because they pay them.

“INSIDE” SENTENCE STARTERS
( Bo Burnham’s special ruined me so I decided to ruin everyone else too by putting my favorite lyrics into a meme, you’re welcome <3 )
CONTENT
“Interesting. Now leave me alone.”
“Sorry that I look like a mess.”
“[Name]’s been a little depressed.”
“I’m sitting down, writing jokes, singing silly songs.”
“I’m sorry I was gone. But look, I made you some content!”
“Here comes the content!”
“It’s a beautiful day to stay inside.”
COMEDY
“What the fuck is going on? It’s like everything happened all at once.”
“Um, what the fuck is going on?”
“The more I look, the more I see nothing to joke about.”
“Should I leave you alone?”
“Really, who’s gonna go for joking at a time like this?”
“Should I be joking at a time like this?”
“I wanna help to leave this world better than I found it.”
“I fear that comedy won’t help, and the fear is not unfounded.”
“Should I stop trying to be funny?”
“Should I give away my money? No!”
“I’m making a literal difference, metaphorically.”
“Yes, most likely, they’ll pay me, but I’d do it for free.”
“I am healing the world with comedy!”
SHIT
“I wake up at 11:30, feelin’ like a bag of shit.”
“All my clothes are dirty, so I’m smelling like a bag of shit.”
“I look in the mirror and say, ‘What’s up, you useless fuck?’”
“Are you feeling what I’m feeling?”
“I haven’t had a shower in the last nine days.”
“I’m staring at the ceiling and waiting for this feeling to go away, but it won’t go away.”
“Feeling like a saggy, massive sack of shit. A big ol’ motherfucking duffel bag of shit.”
“I’m not really feeling like I wanna get lit.”
WELCOME TO THE INTERNET
“Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found!”
“We’ve got mountains of content—some better, some worse.”
“If none of it’s of interest to you, you’d be the first.”
“There’s no need to panic; this isn’t a test!”
“Be happy! Be horny! Be bursting with rage!”
“Could I interest you in everything all of the time?
"Apathy’s a tragedy, and boredom is a crime.”
“If we stick together, who knows what we’ll do?”
“It was always the plan to put the world in your hands.”
ALL EYES ON ME
“Are you feeling nervous? Are you having fun?”
“Don’t overthink this, look in my eye.”
“Don’t be scared, don’t be shy!”
“Come on in, the water’s fine!”
“We’re going to go where everybody knows.”
“Get your fucking hands up!”
“Get on out of your seat!”
“You say the ocean’s rising like I give a shit.”
“You say the whole world’s ending—honey, it already did.”
“You’re not gonna slow it, Heaven knows you tried.”
“I’m talking to you, get the fuck up!”
GOODBYE
“I’ll see you when I see you.”
“Do I really have to finish?”
“Do returns always diminish?”
“Did I say that right?”
“Does anybody want to joke when no one’s laughing in the background?”
“So this is how it ends…”
“I promise to never go outside again.”
“I’m slowly losing power.”
“Has it only been an hour? …No, that can’t be right.”
“How 'bout I sit on the couch and I watch you next time?”
“I wanna hear you tell a joke when no onе’s laughing in the background.”
“Am I going crazy? Would I even know?”
“Am I right back where I started all those years ago?”
“Wanna guess the ending, if it ever does?”
“I’m finished playing, and I’m staying inside.”
“Call me up and tell me a joke.”
“Oh, shit. You’re really joking at a time like this?”
“Well, well, look who’s inside again.”
“You went out to look for a reason to hide again.”
