JUSTICE.

CASTLE:       “I’m sick of all these people talking.”      “I’m already choking on my pride.”      “They wanna make me their queen.”      “There’s no use crying about it.”      “I probably shouldn’t be so mean.”      “I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut.” HOLD ME DOWN:      “My demons are begging me to open up my mouth.”      “He told me I was holy.”       “He’s got me on my knees.”      “This is what I live for.”      “Throw me in the deep end and watch me drown.” NEW AMERICANA:      “The city’s ours until fall.”      “We don’t feel like outsiders at all.”      “We know very well who we are.”      “What kind of dough have you been spending?” DRIVE:      “I can never keep my eyes off this.”      “All we do is think about the feelings the we hide.”      “It never felt like home to me.”      “Would it really kill you if we kissed?” HURRICANE:      “He’s got an eye for girls of eighteen.”      “I held him captive by my kiss.”      “I’m a one night stand.”      “I’m the violence in the pouring rain.”      “I reminded myself to keep you far away from me.”       “You could devastate me.” ROMAN HOLIDAY:      “Do you remember the taste of my lips that night?”      “I remember the fear in your eyes.”      “The timing’s never right.” GHOST:      “I’m searching for something that I can’t reach.”      “I don’t like them innocent.”      “You say that you’re no good for me.”      “I swear I hate you when you leave, but I like it anyway.”      “I know I’m gonna leave him.” COLORS:      “You’re only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope.”      “You’re ripped at every edge but you’re a masterpiece.”      “I’m still waking in the morning, but it’s not with you.” COLORS, PT 2:      “Everything is dripping like a saturated sun.”      “I hope you make it to the day you’re _____ years old.” STRANGE LOVE:      “Everybody wants to know if we fucked in the bathroom sink.”      “But the ending is the same every damn time.”      “They think I’m insane.”      “They think my lover is strange.”      “That’s the beauty of a secret.”      “They can’t believe I made you weak.”       “These days I can’t seem to get along with anyone.” COMING DOWN:      “I found god - I found him in a lover.”      “I found the devil - I found him in a lover.”      “Now we’re lost somewhere in outer space.”      “I’m such a fool for sacrifice.”       “I’ve got a lover and I’m unforgiven.” HAUNTING:      “Keep on haunting me.”       “I was pure as a river.”      “Now I think I’m possessed.”      “I’ve been cold since you left.”      “You’ve got your own mistakes in bed at home.”      “You’ve got a fire inside but your heart’s so cold.”      “I’ve tried to wash you away, but you just won’t leave.” GASOLINE:      “Are you insane like me?”      “You can’t wake up - this is not a dream.”      “I think there’s a flaw in my code.”      “These voices won’t leave me alone.”      “My heart is gold and my hands are cold.” CONTROL:      “I sat alone in bed until morning.”      “I tried to hold these secrets inside me.”      “I’m meaner than my demons.”      “God damn right, you should be scared of me.”       “Who is in control?” YOUNG GOD:      “You know we’re gonna be legends.”      “I know you wanna go to heaven, but you’re human tonight.”      “Do you feel like a young god?”      “My tongue is a weapon.”      “If you wanna go to heaven, you should fuck me tonight.” I WALK THE LINE:      “I keep a close eye on this heart of mine.”      “I find myself alone when each day is through.”      “You give me cause for love I can’t hide.”

❛ This is why you sent them after me, jealousy? ❜ ❛ You stole him/her away from me! ❜ ❛ With me out of the way, you’d have him/her all to yourself! ❜ ❛ With just one bullet, and I can be a hero. ❜ ❛ You’re not a hero! ❜ ❛ You couldn’t even save yourself! ❜ ❛ That’s why he/she left you! ❜ ❛ It had nothing to do with me! ❜ ❛ What do you mean by that? ‘Maximum potential’? ❜ ❛ What are you doing? ❜ ❛ Hey, I can’t do this on my own. ❜ ❛ What’d they give you, money? Drugs? What’s a Judas get these days? ❜ ❛ You’ve got the power to stop me, what are you waiting for? ❜ ❛ I’m trying! ❜ ❛ We’ll put that on your tombstone: ‘Here lies ___. He/She tried’. ❜ ❛ Dig into that file cabinet of yours and pull something out. ❜ ❛ Do something… Unexpected. ❜ ❛ You used to care about all this, didn’t you? ❜ ❛ Alright. Sharing time’s over. ❜ ❛ Enough! ❜ ❛ I say when it’s enough. ❜ ❛ What are these marks, huh? What do they mean? ❜ ❛ They’re nothing. They mean nothing. ❜ ❛ Don’t lie to me! ❜ ❛ You’re scared. ❜ ❛ I’m terrified. ❜ ❛ Then run the other way. ❜ ❛ I can’t. ❜ ❛ Why not? ❜ ❛ If we save ourselves, who’s going to save everyone else? ❜ ❛ You can’t leave. ❜ ❛ We saved each other. ❜ ❛ You can’t save me, not this time. ❜ ❛ I’m sorry. I can’t go around chasing some fantasy. ❜ ❛ When I met you I finally felt like I was a part of something. ❜ ❛ I found you for a reason. ❜ ❛ I think you’re the one that has to teach me how to stop this. ❜ ❛ I’m trying not to die. There’s got to be something you can do. ❜ ❛ I can kill you myself right now. Solve your problem here. ❜ ❛ It means you’re a pain in my ass. ❜ ❛ Forget you ever saw me! ❜ ❛ What’s happening to me? ❜ ❛ I found you. ❜ ❛ I need you to help me. ❜ ❛ The sooner you learn it, the sooner we get that collar off your neck. ❜ ❛ I don’t see how petty theft is part of my training. ❜ ❛ People suck friend. Every last one of them, never forget that. ❜ ❛ Oh right, there’s a girl. ❜ ❛ He/She’s not like the rest of them. ❜ ❛ Everyone’s like the rest of them, that’s why they’re ‘the rest’. ❜ ❛ Is insulting me really going to help me learn to do this? ❜ ❛ Thanks for nearly getting me arrested. ❜ ❛ How can you not punch that face every time you see it? ❜ ❛ You don’t know him/her. ❜ ❛ You have to get rid of your distractions. ❜ ❛ The people that I love are not distractions. ❜ ❛ What am I supposed to do? Cut them out of my life? How cold do you expect me to be? ❜ ❛ How cold do you expect me to be? ❜ ❛ Anything else that I have to do? Do you want to make a list? ❜ ❛ You’re a sad cartoon of a broken heart bleeding all over the place. ❜ ❛ I’m just trying to get your head straight. ❜ ❛ I am tired of you telling me what I have to do. I don’t have to do anything! ❜ ❛ What? Are you doing this? ❜ ❛ I don’t know you. ❜ ❛ It seems crazy, but I know what I saw. ❜ ❛ It’s almost biblical. ❜ ❛ You and I know the real history, don’t we? ❜ ❛ Maybe, I ought to start with something a little lower first, just like learning how to walk. ❜ ❛ Do you ever get the feeling like you were meant to do something extraordinary? ❜ ❛ Makes one appreciate just how small we are. ❜ ❛ And we’re quite small really, aren’t we? ❜ ❛ I’m talking about… Being special. ❜ ❛ I’m sorry. That was, uh, that was inappropriate. ❜ ❛ You’re totally my hero. ❜ ❛ Right now I’d settle for you walking straight. ❜ ❛ You get in trouble, I drop everything and fix it. Isn’t that how things work? ❜ ❛ What, no lecture? ❜ ❛ I thought I’d be a hero. ❜ ❛ I gotta go. I, er… I gotta be at work in ten minutes. ❜ ❛ I couldn’t save him. ❜ ❛ You saved me. Thank you. ❜ ❛ I want to see him. ❜ ❛ I can handle this. ❜ ❛ You don’t have to have any part in it. ❜ ❛ It’s time to face reality. ❜ ❛ That girl is gone. ❜ ❛ Everyone’s dead except us. ❜ ❛ The only thing that’s real is us. ❜ ❛ Because you are who you are. ❜ ❛ I wish I could accept your apologies. ❜ ❛ You’ve held onto it this entire time? ❜ ❛ I feel it slipping away, but… Then I look at you. ❜ ❛ We’ve been here for I don’t know how many years. Together. ❜ ❛ I’ve changed, I’ve repented. ❜ ❛ I’m not that guy/girl anymore, ___, you know that. ❜ ❛ I know. I know you’re not. ❜ ❛ Does that make it any less real? ❜
