Main Quote:
"So many people walk this earth,
With purpose in their eyes,
But in their heart of hearts they know,
What they're living is a lie,
The alarm goes off at 6AM,
Like every other day,
So they can walk to a job they hate,
Because they need the pay,
All time does is take from them,
But it never seems to give,
Always waiting for the time to come,
When they finally start to live,
I'm all too scared one day soon,
I'll become just like the rest,
Only walking with the crowd,
Because my dreams have been oppressed,
That one day i'll look back on life,
At the opportunities that I missed,
And realize I never truly lived,
All I did was exist."
Others:
"Turns out it was mostly a lie.
But, at least for a short while,
It was a beautiful one."
"I want to be
Special for someone.
So that I never feel alone —
Two arms holding me tight,
And forever keep me close.
I want to find the missing colors,
For my life is black and white.
Someone crawling in my thoughts,
When I try to sleep at night.
I want to find the wandering feet
That mine will walk with the world.
Someone warm against my skin
When the winter nights are cold.
And forever keep me close
Two arms holding me tight,
So that I never feel alone —
I want to be,
Your special one."
"I remember when the world broke in,
To rip apart my soul,
For years after that one event,
I thought myself not whole,
My hours were spent with trying,
To fix it up with tape and glue,
Until one day I discovered,
Everyone else was broken too,
Here we were with pieces,
Of ourselves in both our hands,
So fragile and so open,
That I began to understand,
Maybe i'd been greedy,
To want my soul all to myself,
When it could be a lot more helpful,
In the palms of someone else,
Now every time I go somewhere,
I leave parts of me behind,
And collect all the pieces,
Of others' souls I can find,
So when i'm meeting someone new,
It's not just me that they get,
But also tiny fragments,
Of all the others that I've met,
And my life's become much bigger,
Now that it's home to things so small,
And if this is what "broken" means,
I do not mind at all."
"There's a history of heartbreak,
Tucked in the creases of her eyes,
A museum of the moments,
That she'd watched just pass her by,
And each tear that escaped her,
Held the things she'd left unsaid,
So the words she'd never spoken,
Stained her damp cheeks instead."
"The girl he loves is midnight,
Like the blue of the sea
cradled by the moonlight.
The girl he loves is verdant,
The very green on the hill
Kissed by the summer delight.
The girl he loves is coral,
As pink as the roses that grow
In his mother's garden.
The girl he loves is crimson,
Red like the autumn leaves
That lay abandoned.
The girl he loves I can never be,
Because he's allergic to violets,
And violets are too much like me."
"Tell me,
If a person falls apart,
Alone in the dark,
Does it make a sound?
And if it does make a sound,
Is it as loud and devastating
As a decaying broken heart
When it is finally found?
Or is the sound
A soft strangulation hidden
That we miss all the time
Behind words like "i'm fine?"
"Anxiety and me
We dance, spin in circles
You've got a hold on me
Grip too tight
I struggle to breathe
Flipping thoughts
Like turning pages in a book
I don't want to look,
All too deep, just to see
What's become of me
Fear of the unknown,
Caught in a trap
I may snap, out lash,
But I am weak,
I backtrack, right into the arms,
Of darkness and falseness
Anxiety and me
Entwined, combined,
My life. Not mine.
Soaked in sadness
Lost in madness
Lies are truth,
No way to undo
Society doesn't see
The anxiety in me."
"Show me your demons,
And i'll show you mine,
Are they scream to you too,
Late at night?
Shout...you are not strong,
And doing it all wrong,
Make you believe,
That everything is a lie,
No one loves you,
And no one will ever try,
That your soul is beyond salvation,
There's nothing you can do.
Tell me do these demons,
Scream all of this to you too,
Make you hate a little more,
Whatever is there left of you."
"They witnessed her destruction,
Then were left to wonder why,
She saw nothing but darkness,
Though the stars shone in her eyes,
But maybe they'd forgotten,
When they failed to see the cracks,
That a star's light shines the brightest,
When it's starting to collapse."
