the mind churns, the heart yearns;
Without you, the ground thaws. The rain falls, the grass grows. Without you, the seeds root. The flowers bloom, the children play. The stars gleam, the poets dream. The eagles fly, without you.

The crowds roar, the...

Here we go again, I kinda wanna be more than friends. So take it easy on me, I’m afraid you’re never satisfied. Here we go again, we’re sick like animals, we play pretend, you’re just a cannibal. And I’m afraid I wont get out alive. No I won’t sleep tonight. Oh, oh, I want some more. Oh, oh, what are you waitin’ for? Take a bite of my heart tonight...

They come, they come, to build a wall between us. We know they...

Mother said, straight ahead, not to delay or be misled. I should have heeded her advice; but he seemed so nice… And he showed me things, many beautiful things, that I hadn’t thought to explore.

I hope you’re happy. I hope you’re happy now. I hope you’re happy how you’ve hurt your cause forever, I hope you think you’re clever. I hope you’re happy. I hope you’re happy too. I hope you’re proud how you would grovel in submission, to feed your own ambition. So though I can’t imagine how, I hope you’re happy, right now. You can still...
If you’re going through hell, keep going.
