[MIX] SUCCESSION: MOUTHFUL OF DIAMONDS (A SHIV ROY MIX)
MOUTHFUL OF DIAMONDS, a shiv roy mix
01. goat shepherd - mirah
said the goat to the shepherd, I will cut your throat / I will eat you whole / I will let you know who's in control of the mountain / said the shepherd to the goat, what is this feeling in my throat / oh, who's in control now of the mountain? / we'll never know, we take my leave / to save the man / of whom we sold / we left behind / so this is anger, I've never known her / she took you in her
02. born to - jesca hoop
wind her up and watch her go / now you've gotta get it with what you've got / with what you've been given, or not / held all within these flesh walls / envelopes and time capsules / mark her fingers and mark her throat / send her like a cup to her mother's table / watch her play her part in a long-fixed fable / oh, as her father's daughter / I was born to, I was born to
03. no one's gonna know - tristen
praise the woman buttered up / your golden apple shut her up / she bats her eyes, now points her toes / praise the king on pillow top / who guides the power / from generations of upper stations / hard work makes no new relations / the only way to climb to the top / is stepping on heads / you're better off dead / you were always worth killing / just a runner for the show / and no one's gonna know
04. dressed to suppress - metric
long before my fall from grace / for a piece of me they paid / from the throat, I'm tied to you / and the ones in the back cry "wait for me" / and the ones in the front cry "you're too slow, you're too slow" / and the ones who are weak cry "carry me" / and the ones who are strong cry "let me go, let me go" / and the ones who are cruel cry "beg for me" (beg for me) / and the ones they possess, they love the chase / we reach for the things we idolize / but the rings are just for show / her beauty is a form of charity / dressed to suppress all kinds of sorrow
05. mouthful of diamonds - phantogram
wake up, you're getting high on your own supply / you've got a mouthful of diamonds, and a pocketful of secrets / I know you're never telling anyone / because the patterns they control your mind / those patterns take away my time / hello, goodbye / wasted, you tell the truth when you could've lied / troubles are on the rise 'cause you're in disguise / and if it isn't me, then pack your bags and leave / the devils won't take you back out to the salty seas / I wish I could believe...
06. two dogs tethered inside - emily wells
two dogs tethered inside, my heart a fighter / see who I am in the lion's den / of myself against myself, against them / try to trust the living or the dead / broke the rope, but I come come back / give me, one last look, give me one last lap / come on hurt me, come on hurt me
07. end of the line - sleigh bells
and you hope the day will come / you didn’t want it enough / you’re parallel to the dark, but they’re still not leaving / you’ll do anything, but you’re never gonna keep it down / now you talk to yourself, and you wonder why nothing ever changes / how you’re gonna fall so far so fast, who you gonna blame this on? / I don’t care anymore in the morning / when the birds start bleeding now / and it’s all the same / no one loves you / up above you, no one hears you / no one sees you
08. wild creatures - neko case
when you catch the light / there's a flash of wild creatures / before the Stone Age, of the preachers, and the husbands, and the wives / as you fight along-side, you'll discover my weakness / "Hey, little girl, would you like to be / the king's pet or the king?" / even though it sounds the loneliest...and my brother's hands would poison me" / there's no mother's hands to quiet me
09. guts - alex winston
I know you're a liar, throw me into the fire / man I should have known, I should have known / but I, I, I / my body's full of guts and other stuff / my body's full enough / to pull myself out / you, let the bottom drop out, it's such a copout / you led me to the slaughter, but I'm someone's daughter / don't you feel ashamed?
10. strong hand - CHVRCHES
see the way we all run, when we know it all off by heart / played dead, wait it all out / will we win or lose it, this time? / when the pressure's building for a great white hope / do you give up the things that you love? / and the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole / can you go back on your own word? / all of your brothers, they never died / for what you kill, for slowly / how it will grind you into the ground / if you should try to hold me
11. ballad of a politician - regina spektor
a man inside a room is shaking hands with other men / this is how it happens / our world under command / but I am, but I am, but I am / not a number, not a name / but I am, but I am, but I am / a carefully laid plan / you're gonna make us scream someday, you're gonna make it big
12. hurt me now - Austra
in a burning building / I was boiling over / in the velvet calm / willing, undone / placed my heart on the table / and the fire comes / you put the table, into the ground / what I would have done, had I had a hundred fathers? / oh, can you hear me now? / oh, please don't hurt me now
13. middle cyclone - neko case
baby why'm I worried now / did someone make a fool of me / 'fore I could show 'em how it's done / I can't give up actin' tough / it's all that I'm made of / it was so clear to me, that it was almost invisible / I lie 'cross the path waiting / just for a chance to be / a spider web trapped in your lashes / for that I would trade you my empire for ashes / but I choke it back / how much I need love
14. werewolf - fiona apple
02. born to - jesca hoop

14. werewolf - fiona apple
I could liken you to a werewolf the way you left me for dead / but I admit that I provided a full moon / and I could liken you to a shark the way you bit off my head / but then again, I was waving around a bleeding open wound / but you are such a super guy 'til the second you get a whiff of me / we're like a wishing well and a bolt of electricity / but we can still support each other, all we gotta do is avoid each other / the lava of a volcano shot up hot from under the sea / one thing leads to another and you made an island of me
15. year of the tiger - st. vincent
when I was young / coach called me the tiger / I always had a knack with the danger / living in fear in the year of the tiger / Italian shoes, like these rubes know the difference / suitcase of cash / I had to be the best of the bourgeoisie / oh America, can I owe you one?
16. my creator - wye oak
16. my creator - wye oak
lie forever, afterthought / and what to feel? what could I stand? / if there's my land, was that your land? / lie forever, future plans / but here I stay and here I am / and who but you? what could I know? / to follow with me far below / my pretense and servitude / and crippling dependency / what kind of woman would I be / if I refuse what's asked of me? / some lines can turn you, others rot / some names will never be forgot / my body can, but I cannot
