General Discussion Inspiration Request

I’m making a couple things and i’m not entirely certain on my choice for one for what I have planned so I need some inspiration to be certain. If you had to pick only up to six words of any of her songs, what would it be?

Too fast for freedom

There’s a reason she’s got it tatted on her.

Can’t be free if you’re always running.

“I must become a lion-hearted girl”

“It’s always darkest before dawn”

“Oh, my love, don’t forsake me”

“The world’s a beast of a burden”

“There’s no salvation for me now”

“You can’t choose what stays”

“We’ll never be afraid again”

“Who’s a heretic now?”

“Don’t make a shadow of yourself”

“Hold onto each other”

“I couldn’t hide from the thunder”

“Hubris is a bitch”

“I am free”

“Never been alive before”

“I am nobody’s moral centre”

“If it glitters I’m going”

“Am I quiet enough for you?”

“I was just hungry for blood”

“You’re my second favourite frontman”

“Too feminine to function”

“Desire beyond reason
A ruinous thing”

“Miracles are often inconvenient”

“I don’t wanna run from love”

“Am I a woman now?”

Ooooooo you’re the mvp I settled on the one but this just gave me an idea for the next!

Also, ironically just realized that all of my miracles were indeed convenient which by nature is what made them miracles

“I don’t have to be worthy”
I embroidered these words for the Boston concert this year, and they’ve become a mantra for this eldest daughter perfectionist 🙋‍♀️
