[Sample:]
Interviewer: I have not been so moved by a movie since Elephant Man, and at the risk of sounding patronizing to you, Meryl, I have to say, that I truly believe your performance as Sophie will rank as one of the all-time great performances by an actress on film
Meryl Streep: Thank you
[Max:]
Should it be you, my child
Who never asked me
To be shat out of a vag?
As your icecaps melt, Daddy belts out half-hits
To a fucked few; they don't even know you
It's amazing how pliable, baby's skull, when you just pull
And mold with school and work and chores
Until their fucking brains look just like yours
And when you gaze at your iPad
Like one would smile at a present dad
I can only hope that, one fine day
You'll look at me like that instead
If I could get up out of this bed
To hell with everyone else, little girl, I choose you
Blue eyes, we'll get through
Faded days fade away
We'll burn down this home
And make our own someday
Death to everyone else, little girl
I choose you. If you only knew
Jesus lied. Suicide rang true. Oh, no
Fuck no, I chose you
[vocalizing]
Or...
Should it be you, my love?
I want you more than redemption. If there's heaven without you
I'll meet you in hell
Where at least we'll have time to fuck
Now I'm a Rom-Com McConaughey
Third act haunted by montage memories
I vasectomize my crystal ball
When I see it all, forsee it all, I foresee it all
Knock, knock, knock on our front door
It's a bag lady with bags under her eyes
Needing just one more fix
But that's a lie of a future; my father instilled me with his
So to hell with everything else, baby girl, I choose you;
When we said I do
Beneath your sheets, you flooded me
As I drown, I will not take you with me
The pigs don't understand why I choose you. What I just can't do
Is walk away from hallowed days
If you let me in, I choose you
And it occurs to me
That when I was just two or three
My mother said, "Your daddy scares me..."
"He scares me. Maxie, choose between."
To thee with open ears, I choose you
If I can, you too
From holy lands to human brains
They'll divide your guts to feed the rat race
They grin through gnashing teeth
And they make us choose; the one thing we can't do
I fell in love with all of you
And if I have to...
...I choose you
