"Now that you've woken up / to that empty space you sought / Realise time won't heal a god damned thing."
"And not to pull your halo down / Around your neck and tug you to the ground / But I'm more than just a little curious / How you're planning to go about / Making your amends to the dead"
"'what do you see in me?' / asked and answered honestly / 'nothing, you are just a skin to me / I think I'll name you 'trophy' / why can't you see through me?'"
"One day my dreams will meet my fears / take a piece of me / make a brand new start / i'll have to want it and my heart can feel no shame"
"This hand on this gun to my head is my own / and these are my demands: / If you leave me, take me with you, I am nothing without you / People who need people are the wretchedest in the world"
"You were a song that I couldn't sing / you were a story I couldn't tell / I've only ever loved myself / But I've loved myself so well"
"as you plow some other field try and forget my name / see what harvest yields, and, supposing I'd do the same / I planted rows of peas but by the first week of July / they should have come up to my knees / but they were maybe ankle high"
"Certain things fascinate me / First I went blind and then the sun went out / The way you hold a match so steady / How heaven is collapsing under so much joy"
"Dear everything: / Today I witnessed a crucifixion in pink and lavender and gold / I've heard people say that beauty is in details / but I don't think they have ever seen you"
"You’re one and the same / We’re Anti Rose city hardcore scene / Anti St Kitts Emo queens / Anti fashion society / And all y’all profess to be"
"Forgive me destiny / this world has fucking destroyed me / Forgive me destiny / this world has ruined the plans you have for me / Life has polluted me / Forgive me, forgive me"
"Life is lowly, lowly anonymity / I know its all been done before / I want to do it again / I want do it again"
"Gravity doesn't grant me the privilege of failure / my bough never breaks / I don't stumble into anything"
"My genes didn't bless me with the foresight of a sage / but I know how this will end / in apologies and ink on the page"
"Dear, I'll stay gold just to keep these pasts at bay / To keep the loneliest of nights from claiming you / and to keep these longest of days from waking you / For I felt the greatest of winters coming"
"She burns as bright as the sun / and she falls darker than night / She shines as light as these days / And she fades faster than time / Phoenix in flames"
"There is a road that I must travel / May it be paved or unseen / May I be hindered by a thousand stones / Still onward I'd crawl down on my knees"
"the hippest of hip is as good as dead / he thinks he's got it all figured out / wandering eyes disregard trusting eyes / the hippest of hip fell into the trap of self-indulgence / fuck your myriad of followers / the hippest of hip is complete shit"
"a willing participant in a game of cat and mouse / i'm the mouse / bon appetit"
"victory may only exist in our minds / and in nature's oaken pantheon / when the lights finally go out / the songs of our revolution will play on"
"There's a bear inside your stomach / a cub's been kicking from within / he's loud, though without vocal chords / we'll put an end to him"
"I think you saw me confronting my fear / it went up with a bottle and went down with the beer / and I think you ought to stay away from here / there are ghosts in the walls and they crawl in your head through your ear"
"I've always been into bleakness / Even my dreams are in black and white / But maybe that is just because so are the photos of her / The last evidence that she: Happiness, really did exist"
"I've got a present for you / It's made from pieces of my skin / Trailing slices of pale light / Thread and needle closing in"
"And no one saw / Pale shoulders shake / Passed over for / Shinier things / For brighter birds / With bigger wings /Take up all of the cracks / Nothing left for the faint /This poisoned mouse /With paws on stars / Mottled gray fur / Ignored"
"Hear me, the promise that you made was meant to live forever / Until our deathbed, you're not allowed to change your mind / Was there nothing in that promise? / Are you listening to me?"
"See, I keep falling for the future after tripping on the past / And I am always tearing sutures out to make the anguish last like it defines me / Or reminds me I've found comfort in my suffering / and uncertainty in happiness and death / because what's next is such a mystery to me / I am terrified of all the things I feel but cannot see"
"i'm gonna make my momma proud, her boy on the front lines / and just like my daddy done, i ain't afraid to die / i ain't no fortunate one, but i am proud of what i done / and hardships, i seen some, but i ain't no coward, i don't turn and run."
"i keep readin' my momma's prayers / but i find nothin' there that makes any sense to me / her god is no more than a thief."
"Walked in to find you staring out the window at a city / Holding memories of older times and how’d she’d gone away / And we sang through smoke and rum and coke and / Promised with our pity, man, one day, I swear we’ll be ok."
"If I had wings / would I be forgiving? / If I had horns / would there be flames to shy my smile?"
"I wasn't happy where I was / What is life without a purpose? What is purpose without love? / I pray my children will forgive me, though I bade the river flood / I have washed my hands a thousand times but still can see the blood"
"Everyone's afraid of their own life / If you could be anything you want / I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right?"
"How do, how do you do? / My name is you / Flies, they all gather around me, and you, too"
"The Devil's apprentice he gave me some credit / He fed me a line and I'll probably regret it / I don't want you to be alone down there"
"I’d drown all these crying babies / If I knew that there mothers wouldn’t cry / I’d hold them down and I’d squeeze real soft / And let a piece of myself die"
"Well Jesus Christ, I'm alone again / So what did you do those three days you were dead? / Cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend"
