When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire

-Stars "Your Ex-Lover is Dead"

(technically spoken at the beginning of the track but hey I can stretch it )

Tried to start this on other games forums once or twice and it never really caught on, but I know there are lots of music lovers here so I thought I'd try it.

Basically I'll start by posting an excerpt of lyrics from a song, and the next person posts a few lines from a different song that are associated somehow, like with a similar theme or set of words. Doesn't have to be the whole song, just a verse/part with the associated theme/words.


Do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive
Do every stupid thing to try to drive the dark away
Let people call you crazy for the choices that you make
Climb limits past the limits
Jump in front of trains all day and stay alive
Just stay alive

Play with matches if you think you need to play with matches
Seek out the hidden places where the fire burns hot and bright
Find where the heat's unbearable and stay there if you have to
Don't hurt anybody on your way up to the light and stay alive
Just stay alive
