❝ long lost opinions, all the words you can’t redeem. ❞
❝ don’t come round here and be a slave to old ideas. ❞
❝ scream hallelujah if it’s a thing that helps you breathe. ❞
❝ your iron rule has often had me on my knees. ❞
❝ you better sharpen up ‘cause all you have is your axe to grind round here. ❞
❝ breaking the silence like i’m bursting at the seams. ❞
❝ so many stifled thoughts and long forgotten dreams. ❞
❝ i can almost taste reprieve. ❞
❝ keep on talking to yourself. ❞
❝ ‘cause no one needs to hear the words your read. ❞
❝ 'cause you’re gonna have to swing that axe round here. ❞
❝ i could only be myself with you around. ❞
❝ and now there’s nothing left for me to think about. ❞
❝ and it hurts like hell. ❞
❝ we were born to be together, torn apart. ❞
❝ you stepped with a heavy tread and left your mark. ❞
❝ oh, you left your mark on me. ❞
❝ it hurts like hell to be torn apart, to be thrown around. ❞
❝ my yin and yang is killin’ me. ❞
❝ gotta get back, back to the synergy. ❞
❝ don’t forget where i been. ❞
❝ but you’re gonna remember. ❞
❝ buddy i, i don’t mean to kill your vibe. ❞
❝ but if you got it, you get it, and i’ve been gettin’ this shit for a long time. ❞
❝ happiness only brings heartache. ❞
❝ i’m so beyond naughty. ❞
❝ and if you don’t like it then why do you want me? ❞
❝ don’t front if i tickle the strings on your heart. ❞
❝ you play second fiddle to my instrumental. ❞
❝ your critical nature departs in the middle of all of my riddles. ❞
❝ you’ve given up trying, and now you just tear me apart. ❞
❝ this is a vocal confession. ❞
❝ right now your cause is at war. ❞
❝ right now your voice is a weapon. ❞
❝ watch all the storms on the rise. ❞
❝ no more falling to pressure. ❞
❝ no more failing acceptance. ❞
❝ throw all your hells towards the heavens. ❞
❝ we dance with the devils and make your halos the color of sinners’ portraits. ❞
❝ and smothering it means everything’s lovely again. ❞
❝ nothing’s quite as it seems. ❞
❝ society’s altered, you see. ❞
❝ kill all your fear in your sleep. ❞
❝ cause everything’s formed in a dream. ❞
❝ breathe in insanity’s grip. ❞
❝ those are words from insanity’s lips. ❞
❝ we’re falling from sanity’s cliff. ❞
❝ you’re watching your vanity slip. ❞
❝ run before the evil erupts. ❞
❝ this is volcanic feverish lust. ❞
❝ vengeance is me speaking up. ❞
❝ this is me speaking up. ❞
❝ choose your words and etch them on your soul. ❞
❝ make them heard when crowds drown out your call. ❞
❝ leave behind your questions, silent thoughts and mentions. ❞
❝ a wake has to be left, so never falter down. ❞
❝ so do with it what you can. ❞
❝ i came here for sanctuary. ❞
❝ to be away from the winds and the sounds of the city. ❞
❝ i came here to get some peace. ❞
❝ yes, way down here where the shadows are heavy. ❞
❝ i can’t help but think of you. ❞
❝ in these four walls, my thoughts seem to wonder. ❞
❝ to some distant century where everyone we know is six feet under. ❞
❝ so when all of your friends are dead and just a memory, and we’re side by side? ❞
❝ it’s always been just you and me for all to see. ❞
❝ when our lives are over and all that remains are our skulls and bones, let’s take it to the grave. ❞
❝ hold me in your arms. ❞
❝ i’ll be buried here with you. ❞
❝ i’ll hold in these hands all that remains. ❞
❝ i don’t want to rest in peace. ❞
❝ we can haunt each other’s dreams. ❞
❝ we’ll fight underneath this surf, bicker away in the darkness. ❞
❝ we’ll find our way to result away from the lands of the living. ❞
❝ we’ll find a common ground and fall in love all over again. ❞
❝ all of our friends are dead and just a memory. ❞
❝ from dusk 'til dawn, the other’s screams grow silent ❞
❝ i know i chased a memory. ❞
❝ but you used to taste so sweet. ❞
❝ as you faded away, i realized it’s all over. ❞
❝ nothing stays the same. ❞
