Ahhh, I'm super busy, but...
So I'm super busy. And I kind of got let go at the job I've been using to pay for food, so I'm going to have to rely on loans and charity until the end of grad school next August. I've got class six days a week and most nights, too. I managed to get a bit ahead on my work, though. So I really needed a distraction, and I put together a playlist that fits my image of PruCan from The Kid!verse somewhere along the way. It all fits for me, but it might not work for all of you, for which I apologize.
It's not quite complete; I haven't had a chance to make cover art for it, and I'm not sure that I'll ever upload it (since that's illegal). I'm also considering adding a drabble or explanation for each song--what do you think? Even though it's a work in progress, I wanted to share it. Just maybe not with the Hetalia comm quite yet; I'm too busy to deal with all of them right now. I miss you guys, though.
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy it. If you have Spotify, all of these songs are available on there. Anyway, I'd better get back to work!

"More Than Useless"
Relient K
I feel like, I would like
To be somewhere else doing something that matters
And I'll admit here, while I sit here
My mind wastes away and my doubts start to gather
What's the purpose? It feels worthless
So unwanted like I've lost all my value
I can't find it, not in the least bit
and I'm just scared, so scared that I'll fail you
And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all
And sometimes I wonder why, why I'm even here at all
But then you assure me
I'm a little more than useless
And when I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once
So I say if I can't, do something significant
I'll opt to leave most opportunities wasted
And nothing trivial, that life could give me will
Measure up to what might have replaced it
Too late look, my date book
Is packed full of days that were empty and now gone
And I bet, that regret
Will prove to get me to improve in the long run
And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all
And sometimes I wonder why, why I'm even here at all
But then you assure me
I'm a little more than useless
And when I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once
I’m a little more than useless
And I never knew I knew this
Was gonna the day, gonna be the day
That I would do something right
Do something right for once
I notice, I know this
Week is a symbol of how I use my time
Resent it, I spent it
Convincing myself the world's doing just fine
Without me
Doing anything of any consequence
Without me
Showing any sign of ever making sense
Of my time, it's my life
And my right, to use it like I should
Like he would, for the good
Of everything that I would ever know
I'm a little more than useless
When I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once
I’m a little more than useless
And I never knew I knew this
Was gonna the day, gonna be the day
That I would do something right
Do something right for once

"Kill The Messenger"
Jack's Mannequin
Oh my God, this hurts like hell
I had that dream again where
I was lost for good in outer space
Tell me, doctor, how to shake
A waking nightmare that is only
Worse when I am sleeping
Kill the messenger
I swear it's not me
It's just someone I used to know
And get to church cause you're a good girl
And I never told you that
And all I need from you
Could be the thing that
Leaves us both up here forever
I'm gonna send a little rain your way
I'm gonna send a little rain...
It's not so easy, caving in
I walked by your apartment twice today
While you were gone at work
And all the colors got so down
It's not as cold out here
But come quick, I am losing feeling
Kill the messenger
I swear it's not me
It's just someone I used to know
And get to church cause you're a good girl
And I never told you that
And all I need from you
Could be the thing that
Leaves you locked up here forever
I'm gonna send a little rain your way
I'm gonna send a little rain, send a little rain
I'm gonna send a little rain to pour down on you
Rain that makes the flowers bloom
Rain to leave you all alone
That keeps eyelashes falling
And wishes washed away
Kill the messenger
I swear it's not me
It's just someone I used to know
And get to church cause you're a good girl
And he never told you that
And all I need from you
Could be the thing that
Leaves us both up here forever
I'm gonna send a little rain your way
I'm gonna send a little rain...
I'm gonna send a little rain your way

"That's Okay"
The Hush Sound
You were a child who was made of glass
You carried a black heart passed down from your dad
If somebody loved you, they'd tell you by now
We all turn away when you're down
You want to go back to where you felt safe
To hear your brother's laughter,
See your mother's face
Your childhood home is just down to white bones
And you'll never find your way back
And when you're gone, will they say your name?
And when you're gone, will they love you the same?
If not, that's okay.
If not, that's okay.
You are broken and callow
Cautious and safe
You are a boundless and beauty
With fright in your face
Until someone loves you,
I'll keep you safe
But like them, I will give you away
And when you're gone, will they say your name?
And when you're gone, will they love you the same?
If not, that's okay.
And when you're gone, will they say your name?
And when you're gone, will they love you the same?
Oh, when you're gone, we won't say a word
But you know that's okay.
Don't you know that's okay?

"Saviour"
LIGHTS
The night is deafening
when the silence is listening
and I'm down on my knees
and I know that something is missing
because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in
but I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them
I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan it
'cause I start losing my head then I get up in a panic
Remember, when we were kids and always knew when to quit it
Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting it?
I don't want to know
I just wanna run to you
and break off the chains
and throw them away
I just wanna be so much
and shake off the dust
that turn me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I need a saviour
It will never change
if you want it to stay the same
I really hate it
but I know it's hard to choose if you're chained
and when it's all you control
'cause you got nothing else to hold
You're getting tighter and tighter
It's getting harder to let it go
I don't want to know
I just wanna run to you
and break off the chains
and throw them away
I just wanna be so much
and shake off the dust
that turn me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I need a saviour
Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small
Free my hands and feet
and maybe I won't always fall
Save me
I just wanna run to you
and break off the chains
(Save me)
and throw them away
I just wanna be so much
and shake off the dust
(Save me)
that turn me to rust
I just wanna run to you
(Just wanna run to you)
and break off the chains
(Save me)
and throw them away
I just wanna be so much
(Just wanna be so much)
and shake off the dust
(Save me)
that turn me to rust
Sooner than later,
I'll need a saviour
(Save me)
I need a saviour

"I Want To Save You"
Something Corporate
standing on the edge of morning
scent of sex and new found glory
playing as she's pulling back her hair
she drives away
she's feeling worthless
used again but nothing's different
she'd stay the night
but knows he doesn't care
home by three
deafening quiet
the porch light's off
yes they forgot it
she'd cry herself to sleep
but she don't dare
and she wants to be a model
she wants to hear she's beautiful
she's beautiful
i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you
dressed by dawn and out the door
no light
she memorized the floor
so she could leave without being detected
she works till three
it's uniform
she dreams that he'll come by the store
she prays for days
when boys mean she's protected
and she wants someone to see her
she needs to hear she's beautiful
she's beautiful
i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you
and she won't sleep
she won't sleep
and she won't sleep
at all
i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you

"Misguided Ghosts"
Paramore
I'm going away for a while
But I'll be back
Don't try to follow me
'Cause I'll return as soon as possible
See, I'm trying to find my place
But it might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistakes
And run from them, from them
With no direction
We'll run from them, from them
With no conviction
'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts
Travelin' endlessly
Don't need no roads
In fact, they follow me
And we just go in circles
And now I'm told that this is life
That pain is just a simple compromise
So we can get what we want out of it
Would someone care to classify?
Our broken hearts and twisted minds
So I can find someone to rely on
And run to them, to them
Full speed ahead
Oh, you are not useless
We are just
Misguided ghosts
Travelin' endlessly
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away
And there's no one road
We should not be the same
But I'm just a ghost
And still they echo me
They echo me in circles
~
"Lions!"
LIGHTS
Give me a disaster,
Give me emergency,
Stand me at the head of the crusades without a remedy.
Show me to the shipwreck,
show me how your bones shake,
And when I'm at the edge of sorrow's blade,
show me how a heart breaks.
Be steady on your feet,
No matter the trouble you meet
Lions make you brave,
Giants give you faith,
Death is a charade.
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid.
Find me at the bottom,
looking at the vultures.
Standing in the heart of the disease,
following the hard curves.
I'm looking for the thunder,
I'm looking for the blackness.
I'm learning how to get up off my knees,
and all it takes is practice.
Be ready on your feet,
No matter the trouble you meet.
Lions make you brave,
Giants give you faith,
Death is a charade.
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid.
I'm not the hunter,
I'm not the marked.
Just looking for wisdom in the dark
Lions make you brave,
Giants give you faith,
Death is a charade.
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid. [x2]
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid.

"Are We There Yet?"
Ingrid Michaelson
They say that home is where the heart is
I guess I haven't found my home
And we keep driving round in circles
Afraid to call this place our own
And are we there yet?
They say there's linings made of silver
Folded inside each raining cloud
Well, we need someone to deliver
Our silver lining now
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
Home, home, home
Home, home, home
They say you're really not somebody
Until somebody else loves you
Well, I am waiting to make somebody
Somebody soon
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
Home, home, home
Home, home, home
Where you will lie on the rug
While I play with the dog
And it won't be too much
'Cause this is too much
'Cause this is too much for me to hold
This is too much for me to hold
Home, home, home
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
Home, home, home
Home, home, home, home
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
And are we there?
