Ghosting - Mother Mother

And this is why I have decided
To pull these old white sheets from my head
I'll leave them folded neat and tidy
So that you'll know I'm out of hiding

I've been ghosting
I've been ghosting alone
Ghost in the world
Ghost with no home
I remember
I remember the days
When I'd make you oh, so afraid

And this is why I have decided
To leave your house and home unhaunted
You don't need poltergeist for sidekicks
You don't need treats and you don't need tricks

Think You Can Wait - The National

What I'm thinking is simple
I'll sell apples and ice water at the temple
I won't make trouble
I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another

We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gone
We've been losing our exits one by one

I'll try.
I'll try, but I couldn't be better.

I'm trying to think of a way to explain this one because it's her concept song and the one I think of when I think of her. I don't know. I guess the powerlessness/sense of giving up is what does it. Just the exhaustion. Not an entirely negative exhaustion! Just exhaustion.

Laughing With a Mouth of Blood - St Vincent

And I can't see the future
But I know its got big plans for me
(Oh what does it see?)

All of my old friends aren't so friendly
All of my old haunts are now all haunting me

Hideaway - The Weepies

Even the stars sometimes fade to gray
Even the stars hide away

I see the bare moon raise his big, bald head
I see my friends played the fool
I'll make my own way in the wide world
Just now I don't want to wander too far

Humiliation - The National

I survived the dinner
And the air went thinner
I retired to the briars by the pool
It gets so loud

If I die this instant
Taken from a distance
They would probably list it down
Among other things 'round town

Because what would any Elsa FST be w/o a song about crippling social anxiety?

Body Work - Tegan and Sara

I get shy in these lights
I feel my pulse doing overtime

Green Gloves - The National

Falling out of touch with all my
Friends are somewhere getting wasted
Hope they're staying glued together
I have arms for them

Take another sip of them
It floats around and takes me over
Like a little drop of ink
In a glass of water

Anyone's Ghost - The National

Say you stayed at home
Alone with the flu
Find out from friends
That wasn't true
Go out at night with your headphones on, again
And walk through the Manhattan valleys of the dead

Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost

But I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
