• i will set my soul on fire

•fight it, take the pain, ignite it

•sometimes to stay alive you've gotta kill your mind

•i will make you queen of everything you see

•peace will win, fear will lose

•i'm semi-automatic, my prayer's schizophrenic

•we're broken people

•you'll have to watch me struggle from several rooms away, but tonight i need you to stay

•our brains are sick but that's okay

•you all have guns and you never put the safety on

•i can feel your breath, i can feel my death

•the sun will rise and we will try again

~ kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats

~ 'Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

~ he can't keep his wild eyes on the road

~ you took a Polaroid of us//then discovered//the rest of the world was black and white//but we were in streaming color

~ I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made

~ I'm dancing on my own//I make the moves up as I go

~ I wish we could go back and remember what we were fighting for

~ Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes

~ Someday when you leave me I bet these memories will follow you around

~ pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks

~ this love is glowing in the dark

~ loves a fragile little flame it could burn out

~ the drought was the very worst// when the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

•["my head sends a message for me to reach for my shoes, then walk"] •["thought so hard it's the last thing i ever thought"]

•["we are so caught up with things, we should pull each other's triggers"]

•["town hasn't moved, but it's getting closer, losing ground"]

•["one hand clapping, awake but napping"]

* my favorites

••we're so happy even when we're smiling out of fear • we're never done with killing time • we crave a different kind of buzz • it feels so scary, gettin' old • nothing's wrong when nothing's true • not very pretty but we sure know how to run things • you can try and take us, but we're the gladiators • i'm little but i'm coming for the title held by everyone who's up • but we've got our methods and there's nothing here to stop, to stop this • you're my best friend and we're dancing in this world alone • and you're no better at swimming than you were in the beginning but you come over at night and we practice all the breathing • i'll find my own bravado • there's nothing more cruel than only nine lives • there's something about hangin' out with the wicked kids • breathe so deep i thought i'd drown • if being afraid is a crime we hang side by side at the swingin' party down the line••

I don't know if I'm scared of dying but I'm scared of living too fast or too slow

Oh I'm a master pretender

What if to loved and be loved's not enough?

Something good will come out of this

I'd rather be shattered than hollow

Our lives are a story told

I remember the music from the downstairs bar

We spoke of dreams that came to us when we were young

Payed so much attention to what you're not had no idea what you are

If it was all a mistake then I guess we're both to blame
