"The Secrets You Tell Me I'll Take To My Grave, There's Bones In My Closet, But You Hang Stuff Anyway"

Clarice Lispector, from “That’s Where I’m Going”, Soulstorm: Stories (tr. Alexis Levitin)

Bring Me The Horizon - in the dark

Maybe I'm just paranoid, or maybe I'm just livin' a lie - Can't stop this screaming voice, or maybe I'm just sick inside.

Skillet's "Psycho in My Head" (2022)

Help in Time (Charles Verlat, 1872)

“I lie here, paralytic inside this soul - screaming for you ‘til my throat is numb.”

— Skillet’s “Rebirthing” (2006)

"... you will go home and then you will find that home is not home anymore. Then you will really be in trouble. As long as you stay here, you can always think: One day I will go home."

— James Baldwin, Giovanni's Room

If you want me to stay then make me feel wanted.
