Buzz In Your Veins

HIT THE WALL

"Felt good for a day, but that stopped."

"I want you so badly, but I close off."

"I thought we'd get married, but I guess not."

"I'm not a problem you can solve."

"I wanna be stable, but I do cave."

"I barely deserve if you do stay, I wish you would anyway."

"I'm numb 'til I'm aching for the sharp pain."

"I live in a pattern of breakdowns."

"You'll bend to my silence, it's so loud."

DEATH WISH

"You must not feel anything at all."

"How'd you get so bulletproof?"

"How long will you give me 'til you twist the knife with a smile while you kill me?"

"You don't look the same when I look at you now."

"You're haunting me."

"I fell for your faux fantasy."

"Proof is in the subtle things."

"Your eggshell floor is splintering now."

"You're everything I'll never be."

"I used to pretend that it didn't feel evil."

"Your light of a million suns burns through people."

"A breath of your air is a death wish."

"You're forcing my hand."

THE KNIFE

"I'll probably keep it for a lifetime."

"You go ruin my life in the worst way at the wrong time."

"I'd have followed you blind."

"This should be the last time."

"I'm living with the ghost of you."

"I'll probably feel you 'til I die."

"I'll never get it out if I never try."

"I was strong before I got knocked down."

"You just ruined my life knowing that I'll be further from fine."

DAUGHTER FROM HELL

"They say that I got your mouth."

"You lent me your life somehow."

"I want your patience."

"I want your grace."

"I wanna say how much I owe ya."

"I hope that I make you proud."

"I want your goodness."

"I'll try to become you now."

LOOK AT MY LIFE

"No, you don't need to come over."

"Do I look high-functioning, or is my facade crumbling?"

"Bet you can't tell, but it's kind of a bad time."

"Got what I wanted, it doesn't sit right."

"Oh, God, what am I doing here?"

GOOD REASON

"You called me your everything."

"Am I thinking straight?"

"Was I meant to stay?"

"You're too nice to me when I tell you things you don't wanna hear."

"I'm only half sure that I mean it."

"If only you didn't adore me."

MEN LIKE YOU

"I found out in ways I shouldn't."

"You know you coulda dropped a line."

"Our time meant something, but to you it didn't."

"You live and breathe in shadows."

"How dare you make me choose between myself and shallow."

"You think you're being cute."

"You did it for the storyline."

"You'll find someone to use."

"Go make yourself the hero."

SOBER

"I miss you from across the room."

"I think in time or another life, we would know we're right."

BROKE MY HEART

"How could I know you and not have a clue?"

"I'm gonna carry the pain for my whole life."

"I'd rather get hit by a train than have to let go."

"You cannot make a truth by bending it."

"You look at me like a stranger, but you know me."

"I will remember your face for my whole life."

MEWS

"Still, if you want, we can have it out."

"It's over now, you're not outside waiting."

"Guess I slowed you down."

"I would've fought anybody who tried to tell me you wanted out."

MINIBAR

"Came here alone, bet you can't tell."

"I'm always subtle when I'm causing trouble."

"Is it just me or do you feel insane?"

"I feel weird, I think I'm gonna go."

IMAGINARY FRIEND

"You're a figment of my imagination."

"You don't know even half of what you're missing."

"I promise not to laugh."

AFFLICTIONS

"You never simply talk to me."

"You used to be a mystery."

"I thought you lived for suffering, but thank God I was wrong."

"I falter when you're gone."

HUMMING

"It's not real, just an hour of relief."

"Let me wake up from this horrible dream."

"Do we stay numb?"

"It's our blood on their hands."

"I'm convinced our sinking ship will sing as it goes down."

WHAT IF IT'S RIGHT?

"We both swore to go easy, but we won't."

"Look in my eyes when I speak."

"When I scream, how do you not even hear anything?"

"Will you please make it okay?"

COLD GOODBYES

"You still don't get it, do you? We can be whatever we want to be! Nothing is real! It all might as well be a dream!"

"Of course I'm not okay! I've never been okay! But maybe I needed to never be okay for us to make this happen!"

"Is this how things are going to be now? All of us vying over a single body? Fine. See this corner? It's mine. And I'd better not see any of you trying to invade my personal space!"

"Sorry about that. I gave into a bit of a fear response there, and I don't think it was very helpful."

"Oh, do we? Do we feel like we're being watched?! I hadn't noticed!"

"Everything here is an enemy. She's an enemy, he's an enemy... are we... are we also an enemy?"

"I warned you not to eat it, but did you listen?!"

"I don't like this. What ____ wants us to do, it's just cruel! It feels like we'd be killing a part of ourselves."

"Do you want us to slay _____, or do you want _____ to slay us?"

"This is good. I was worried you might fall for _____'s shit again, but this is good."

"I'm not the only one who sees them in the window, right? They know that we're here!"

"_____ could be anywhere, and there's nowhere for us to hide. We're sitting ducks!"

"We're going to die down here. I don't want to die again!"

"Heart. Lungs. Liver. Nerves. Heart. Lungs. Liver. Nerves."

"Do you think you can just wrest control away from us? This body's barely functioning as it is!"

"Yes, it's very hard to stay focused on running things when other people are talking to you, isn't it?"

"I suppose if I had to make a choice, I'd choose the one that doesn't make our organs shut down."

"There's no harm in us having a weapon. What it does is give us more options, and we are dangerously low on those right now."

"If we've already saved the world, then why does it matter if we die? Why do you care?"

"Shit! Shit! What the hell was that? Who are we? What are we doing?"

"Someone or something is out there pulling the strings, and we're all just puppets until we figure out how to see them."

"Maybe it'll throw them off. I know it would throw me off if they started flirting with us."

"We're dead, aren't we? We're dead-dead. How long have we been dead? Have we been dead the whole time?"

"Just panic! Flee!"

"How about we stop thinking about horrible ways to die? I don't want us to accidentally manifest anything."

"This is fake! This is all fake! That's all, just made up!"

"Shit - this really doesn't end, does it? It doesn't matter if we kill _____, it doesn't matter if _____ kills us, it just goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on."
