This was a project I made for my digital tools for design class in sophomore year of school. I had started working on my personal website a few months prior, but this was my first exposure to a lot of webdesigning. This website is stupid and silly. My design professor said it was "ugly in a way that works". lol.
Enjoy.

happiness

By Taylor Swift

Listen Here

Honey, when I'm above the trees
I see this for what it is
But now I'm right down in it, all the years I've given
Is just shit we're dividin' up
Showed you all of my hiding spots
I was dancing when the music stopped
And in the disbelief, I can't face reinvention
I havent met the new me yet

There'll be happiness after you
But there was happiness because of you
Both of these things can be true
There is happiness

Past the blood and bruise
Past the curses and cries
Beyond the terror in the nightfall
Haunted by the look in my eyes
That would've loved you for a lifetime
Leave it all behind
And there is happiness

Tell me, when did your winning smile
Begin to look like a smirk?
When did all our lessons start to look like weapons
Pointed at my deepest hurt?
I hope she'll be a beautiful fool
Who takes my spot next to you
No, I didn't mean that
Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury
You haven't met the new me yet

There'll be happiness after me
But there was happiness because of me
Both of these things, I believe
There is happiness

In our history, across our great divide
There is a glorious sunrise
Dappled with the flickers of light
From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind
And there is happiness

I can't make it go away by making you a villain
I guess it's the price I paid for seven years in Heaven
And I pulled your body into mine
Every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties
No one teaches you what to do
When a good man hurts you
And you know you hurt him too


I can't make it go away by making you a villain
I guess it's the price I paid for seven years in Heaven
And I pulled your body into mine
Every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties
No one teaches you what to do
When a good man hurts you
And you know you hurt him too

Honey, when I'm above the trees
I see it for what it is
But now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head
After giving you the best I had
Tell me what to give after that
All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness
You haven't met the new me yet
And I think she'll give you that

There'll be happiness after you
But there was happiness because of you too
Both of these things can be true
There is happiness

In our history, across our great divide
There is a glorious sunrise
Dappled with the flickers of light
From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind
Oh, leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
And there is happiness

Thinning

By Snail Mail

Listen Here


Haven't felt right in a week
And I'm thinning out
And it hurts bad
I gotta get back
Hot head and dreamless sleep
I could just slip down
And on the wrong track
I gotta get back

I wanna spend the entire year
Just faced down
And on my own time
I wanna waste mine

And spend the rest of it asking myself
"Is this who you are?"
And I don't know
It just feels gross

And I don't think there's anything wrong
I don't think there's anything wrong
And I don't think there's anything wrong
I don't think there's anything wrong

Sunlight on the back of my arms
Just thins me out
To a different time
I wanna waste mine

Don't Delete the Kisses

By Wolf Alice

Listen Here

I see the signs of a lifetime, you till I die
And I'm swiftly out, Irish goodbye

What if it's not meant for me?
Love
What if it's not meant for me?
Love

I'd like to get to know you
I'd like to take you out
We'd go to The Hail Mary
And afterwards make out
Instead, I'm typing you a message
That I know I'll never send
Rewriting old excuses
Delete the kisses at the end
When I see you, the whole world reduces
To just that room
And then I remember and I'm shy
That gossip's eye will look too soon
And then I'm trapped, overthinking
And yeah, probably self-doubt
You tell me to get over it
And to take you out
But I can't, I'm too scared
And here's the night bus, I have to go
And the doors are closing, and you were waving
And I like you, and I'll never let it show
And you won't wait, and maybe I won't mind
I work better on my own
And now I'm home, a little bit drunk
And I ask myself
What if it's not meant for me?
Love
What if it's not meant for me?
Love

A few days pass since I last saw you
And you've taken over my mind
I'm retelling jokes you made that made me laugh
Pretending that they're mine
I wanna tell the whole world about you
I think that that's a sign
I'm losing self-control and it's you
It really is, one thousand times
I look at your picture and I smile
How awful's that? I'm like a teenage girl
I might as well write all over my notebook
That you "rock my world"
But you do, you really do
You've turned me upside down
And that's okay, I'll let it happen
'Cause I like having you around
I'm electric, a romantic cliché
Yeah, they really are all true
When we catch eyes at that stupid party
I know exactly what to do
I'll take your hand, and we will leave
French exits from me and you
And now I'm home, a little bit drunk
Some things don't change
And I know now

Me and you were meant to be
In love
Me and you were meant to be
In love
Me and you

I see the signs of a lifetime, you till I die

Cool About It

By Boy Genius

Listen Here

Met you at the dive bar to go shoot some pool
And make fun of the cowboys with the neck tattoos
Ask you easy questions about work and school
I'm trying to be cool about feeling like an absolute fool about
Wishing you were kind enough to be cruel about it
Telling myself I can always do without it
Knowing that it probably isn't true

I came prepared for absolution if you'd only ask
So I take some offense when you say, "No regrets"
I remember it's impossible to pass your test
But I'm trying to forget about it
Feeling like I'm breaking a sweat about it
Wishing you would kindly get out of my head about it
Telling myself one day I'll forget about it
Knowing that it probably isn't true

Once I took your medication to know what it's like
And now I have to act like I can't read your mind
I ask you how you're doing and I let you lie
But we don't have to talk about it
I can walk you home and practice method acting
I'll pretend being with you doesn't feel like drowning
Telling you it's nice to see how good you're doing
Even though we know it isn't true

Me and Her

By Heavens to Betsy

Listen Here

I used to see her almost every day and when I didn't, I didn't feel so great
When we were together, I thought everything was better
Now I just have to pretend I just never cared that much

I hate her
And I love her

You ask me why I'm getting so upset
You don't understand a girl who's passionate for another girl
One day I think I love her then I think I want to kill her
You tell me to calm down, what is your fucking problem?

I hate her
And I love her

You said it once to me that girls are friends and friendships end
And memories all in my head of love so strong it'd knock you dead
They're thrown away like a melted ring and you just can't say anything
And even though I know that's not true I still don't know what to do

I hate her
And I love her
I hate her
And I love her
I hate, I hate, I hate her
And I love her
