It's funny, but while music with lyrics always helps me get in the right mood for a particular type of story, I have an easier time writing with instrumental music playing. Sometimes I can do music with lyrics, but most of the time, it slows me down. I do like to have theme songs that get me in the right mode for certain characters, though. Often, I'll have a song that I'll play before I sit down to work on a longer story that takes multiple days to write. It helps me find the right mood/voice. For my NaNo novel, it was Halsey's "Tradition". For Galatea, it was a Billie Eilish song called "everything i wanted". For my recent Screams story Escape, it was Digital Daggers "The Devil Within".

We all bear scars upon our hearts
Indelible marks which others left
Sometimes inflicted to ourselves
They ache and twinge
Old wounds, seeping with memory
Refusing to scab over
Perhaps those will never fade
Lingering through shades of time
Bittersweet reminders
Ghosts that haunt us
Creeping in those still moments
When daily thoughts have settled
