"Do what you want but I know who you are Say what you want but I know what you're thinking Go where you want but I won't be too far Go where want and I know where you'll end up."

"Your words hit like a train and I can't ignore it This moment could be our last You fall in love and I'm running after You move way too fast."

"You could take everything I have Just don't leave my side."

"Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string Till you cut through my tether and changed everything From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same So I darted back quickly to spell out your name And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight."

"When they come knocking on your heart's door Choose the one who loves you more."

"It's a fight between my heart and mind No one really wins this time... In the endless fight of grace and pride I don't want to win this time."

"This is a lesson in procrastination. I kill myself because I'm so frustrated. Every single second that I put it off Means another lonely night I got to race the clock."

"This is the first song for your mixtape. It's short just like your temper, but somewhat golden like the afternoons we used to spend before you got too cool."

"But when I say let's keep in touch, I really mean I wish that you'd grow up."

"When I'm talking to myself I'd always rather be talking to you."

"And if you ever said you miss me then don't say you never lied."

"Whatever poison's in this bottle will leave me broken sore and stiff. But it's the genie at the bottom who I'm sucking at. He owes me one last wish. So here's a present to let you know I still exist. I hope the next boy that you kiss has something terribly contagious on his lips."

"They say that the captain stays fast with the ship Through still and storm"

"Your tongue is a rudder. It steers the whole ship. Sends your words past your lips or keeps them safe behind your teeth. But the wrong words will strand you. Come off course while you sleep. Sweep your boat out to sea or dashed to bits on the reef."

"Am I correct to defend the fist that holds this pen? It's ink that lies The pen, the prose, the paper I live, I learn You will always take what I have earned And so aid my end while I believe I'm winning"

"Does anybody remember back when you were very young? Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?"

"I will lie awake Lie for fun and fake the way I hold you Let you fall for every empty word I say."

"And I've seen what happens to the wicked and proud When they decide to try to take on the throne for the crown"

"You are calm and reposed Let your beauty unfold Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones Spring keeps you ever close You are second hand smoke. You are so fragile and thin. Standing trial for your sins. Holding onto yourself the best you can. You are the smell before rain. You are the blood in my veins."

"I lie for only you And I lie well Halleluh"

"I hope this song starts a craze. The kind of song that ignites the airwaves. The kind of song that makes people glad to be where they are, with whoever they're there with This is war Every line is about who I don't want to write about anymore Hope you come down with something they can't diagnose, don't have the cure for."

"Every minute is a mile I've never felt so hollow I'm an old abandoned church with broken pews and empty aisles"

"Die young and save yourself."

"I'm sinking like a stone in the sea I'm burning like a bridge for your body"

"So the say They say in heaven there's no husbands and wives On the day That I show up they'll be completely out of their forgiveness supplies And I can't use the telephone To tell you that I'm dead and gone So you won't know"

"Hey you beauty supreme; yeah, you were right about me But can I get myself out from underneath This guilt that will crush me? And in the choir, I saw our sad messiah, He was bored and tired of my laments, 'said I died for you one time but never again."

"Take me, take me, back to your bed I love you so much that it hurts my head Say "I don't mind you under my skin," Oh, let the bad parts in, the bad parts in When we were made, we were set apart Life is a test and I get bad marks Now some Saint got the job of writing down my sins The storm is coming The storm is coming in"

"Well, Jesus Christ, I'm alone again So what did you do those three days you were dead? Because this problem's gonna last more than the weekend Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die But I'm a little bit scared of what comes after Do I get the gold chariot? Do I float through the ceiling?"

"I used to be such a burning example I used to be so original I used to care, I was being cared for Made sure I showed it to those that I love I used to sleep without a single stir Cause I was about my father's work"

"Do you miss the blend Of colors she left in your black and white fields? And do you feel condemned Just for being there?"

"It's hard to be the better man When you forget you're trying."

"Who do you carry the torch for, my young man? Do you believe in anything? Do you carry it around just to burn things down?"

"When I disappear, do you fear for the sister I took? When I disappear, it is clear I am up to no good I am drearily bloodletting this bedwetting cosmonaut "Son, the last thing you'll realize you need is what you've already got.""

"Be my serene Tell me you know what I mean You've set on me But you are not the sun"

"Space cadet, pull out Space cadet Pull Out"

"Why doesn't anyone I know sleep? Are they all just scared of their dreams? When they lay their heads down at night What are they haunted by?"

"Holding out for rest but on the seventh day I've created nothing and I'm wide awake"

"Well if we take all these things And we bury them fast And we pray that they turn into seeds To roots and then grass It'd be all right, it's all right It'd be easier that way Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain Like He knew it was time to start things over again It'd be all right, it's all right It'd be easier that way"

"Hold on to who you love We are dry and blown like dust since we were young"

"We've been hurting a long time. Trying hard for this. We all have sizeable scars. We got it."

"Make a list of your favorites. Write it down. Make it legible."

"Yes we are a bullet in the heart and the message sent."

"If there's any justice in heaven, then God won't let me in."

"Something dies when you grow older, but you do the best you can."

"When we were kids you were the sun to which my eyes would not adjust."

"I wrote your name and burned it to see the color of the flame, and it burned out the whole spectrum, as if you were everything."

"Could I watch the next time you're applying your eyeliner?"

"Hey angel, I think your halo has a screw loose."

"Well you're wasting time if you're trying to impress me I waste all my time just thinking of you."
