ASHLEY .

‘  but it seems i’m only clingin’ to an idea now .  ’

‘  someday when i burst into flames, i’ll leave you the dust, my love .  ’

‘  i told you i’d spill my guts .  ’

‘  seems like it’s impossible to work this out.  ’

‘  is it really that strange if i always wanna change ?  ’

‘   it’s gettin’ harder every day, somehow.  ’

CLEMENTINE .

‘  the people on the street don’t know my name.  ’

‘  i’m constantly having a breakthrough .  ’

‘  would you make out with me underneath the shelter of the balcony ?  ’

‘  i don’t need anyone,  i just need everyone and then some .  ’

‘  and with one eye open, well, all i see is you .  ’

‘  i know my heart still has a suitcase but i still can’t take it through.  ’

GRAVEYARD .

‘   it’s crazy when the thing you love the most is the detriment.  ’

‘  i keep digging myself down deeper, i won’t stop ‘till i get where you are .  ’

‘  i woulda followed all the way no matter how far.  ’

‘  you  push right through me .  ’

‘  they say i may be making a mistake .  ’

‘  it’s funny how the warning signs can feel like they’re butterflies .  ’

‘  i would’ve followed all the way to the graveyard .  ’

YOU SHOULD BE SAD .

‘  i gotta get it off my chest.  ’

‘  you’re not half the man you think that you are .  ’

‘  you can’t love nothing unless there’s something in it for you .  ’

‘  i tried to help you, it just made you mad .  ’

‘  i had no warning about who you are.  ’

‘  just glad i made it out without breaking down.  ’

‘  i really meant well from the start.  ’

‘  i feel so sad . ‘ 

‘  you should be sad . ‘

FOREVER… (IS A LONG TIME) .

‘  i spent a long time substituting honest with sarcastic .  ’

‘  you cut me open, sucked the poison from an aging wound .  ’

‘  now fifty thousand war cadets would cower at this small brunette.  ’

‘  cause i could never hold a perfect thing and not demolish it .  ’

‘  how could somebody ever love me ?  ’

DOMINIC’S INTERLUDE .

‘  there’s power in the words you whisper .  ’

‘  he treats you so cold and so mindless.  ’

‘  your eyes are open when you kiss him .  ’

‘  talk to your man, tell him he’s got bad news coming .  ’

‘  you can take a chance, come take my hand.  ’

I HATE EVERYBODY .

‘  all my empathy’s a disaster .  ’

‘  my friends are getting bored of me .  ’

‘  i can’t remember anything but thinking you’re the one .  ’

‘  i could fall in love with anybody who don’t want me.  ’

‘  i’ll keep saying i hate everybody, but maybe i don’t .  ’

‘  i know i’ve got a tendency to exaggerate what i’m seeing.  ’

‘  i know that it’s unfair of me to make a memory out of a feeling .  ’

‘  infatuation is observation with a cost .  ’

‘  if i could make you love me, maybe you could make me love me .  ’

‘  and if i can’t make you love me, then i’ll just hate everybody .  ’

3AM .

‘  think i took it way too far, and i’m stumbling drunk getting in a car.  ’

‘  i keep on hanging on the line, ignoring every warning sign.  ’

‘  come on and make me feel alright again .  ’

‘  i need it digital cause baby when it’s physical i end up alone.  ’

‘  it’s 3am, and i’m calling everybody that i know .  ’

‘  and would you please pick up the fucking phone ? ’

WITHOUT ME .

‘  i was afraid to leave you on your own .  ’

‘  and if they laugh then fuck ‘em all .  ’

‘  does it ever get lonely thinkin’ you could live without me ?  ’

‘  gave love ‘bout a hundred tries .  ’

‘  i  got you off your knees, put you right back on your feet just so you could take advantage of me .  ’

‘  you don’t have to say just what you did .  ’

‘  i  had to go and find out from them .  ’

FINALLY  /  BEAUTIFUL STRANGER .

‘  you can come to mine, but both my roommates are home .  ’

‘  and i’m terrified, but i can’t resist .  ’

‘  beautiful strangers only come along to do me wrong .  ’

‘  i think it’s finally, finally, finally safe for me to fall .  ’

‘  you stopped me in my tracks and put me right in my place.  ’

‘  i used to think that loving was a painful chase. ‘

‘  but you’re right here now and i think you’ll stay,  ’

ALANIS’ INTERLUDE .

‘  bit my nails down so they wouldn’t scratch .  ’

‘  your pussy is a wonderland .  ’

‘  and i have never felt the difference .  ’

‘  can’t get caught, so we’re stiller than a statue .  ’

‘  bad news, think i’ll probably die before i have you .  ’

KILLING BOYS .

‘  told me pick my battles and i’m pickin’ them wise .  ’

‘  so we’ll sneak in the back and then we’ll kick in the door.  ’

‘  tell me, have you ever keyed a ferrari before ?  ’

‘  and i’m not breakin’, i won’t take it .  ’

‘  and i won’t ever feel this way again .  ’

‘  and i won’t ever try again .  ’

‘  ‘cause all i want in return is revenge .  ’

‘  ‘cause i don’t need you anymore .  ’

SUGA’S INTERLUDE .

‘  i’ve been trying all my life to separate the time in between the having it all and giving it up .  ’

‘  self - loathing and pride live in my heart .  ’

‘  may my leap not be a fall .  ’

‘  never forget that the stars you hope for only appear in the dark .  ’

‘  i wonder what’s in store if i don’t love anymore .  ’

‘  we are too young to be hesitating, just run right into it .  ’

MORE .

‘  nothing grows when a house ain’t a home .  ’

‘  lyin’ awake and i stare at the door, i just can’t take it no more .  ’

‘  they told me it’s useless, there’s no hope in store .  ’

‘  but somehow i just want you more .  ’

‘  i cry and my knuckles get sore .  ’

‘  and when you decide it’s your time to arrive, i’ve loved you for all my life .  ’

‘  somehow i still love you more .  ’

STILL LEARNING .

‘  i should be living the dream .  ’

‘  and you wouldn’t believe everything that i’ve seen .  ’

‘  no one around me knows who i am .  ’

‘  i know that i have done some wrong, but i’m trying to make it right .  ’

‘  know that i love you but i’m still learning to love myself .  ’

‘  but i go home and i got no self-esteem .  ’

‘  no man wants to really commit .  ’

‘  if i breathe, it’s alright, but some things don’t change .  ’

929 .

‘  i can’t remember half the time that i’ve been alive .  ’

‘  they said don’t meet your heroes, they’re all fuckin’ weirdos .  ’

‘  nobody loves you, they just try to fuck you .  ’

‘  and who do you call when it’s late at night ?  ’

‘  you gotta promise us that you won’t die, cause we need you .  ’

‘  and i’m picking my hair out in clumps in the shower .  ’

‘  but then i realized that i’m no higher power .  ’

‘  but i wasn’t in love then, and i’m still not now.  ’

‘  i think my moral compass is on a vacation.  ’
