“I guess God has the last laugh. From up on high he lets us kill. And his people die for their faith. And we call it triumph of the will.”

“Oh, I'm staying in today. And watch the others play. Oh, wash my sins away. Like all good children I mean what I say.”

“I guess it's you I miss.'Cause I just stare at the ceiling.My stomach knots and twists.You've created this feeling.And I may be out of style.But do you know what true love is? I'll make this all so worthwhile.So let's rise above this. Let's rise above this.”

“If the world did end. Would you be my apocalyptic friend?”

“There's something in my eye. Bloodshot in disguise. God knows I really tried. Making the big time. Aiming to climb high.”

“God, you make me sing. Funny things about you You infect my mind. All the time, you do.”

“And if you need to kiss me. Then you'll most definitely miss me. When I'm gone.”

“So I said I don't mind if I lose. 'Cause if I win I'll be so confused”

“Without me all the lines of reality will blur.”

“I begged God to cure my aching limbs. But he did nothing, he gave me no advice. Didn't this God abandon Jesus Christ? Oh if it comes to you, I'll die for your sins.”

“Once I was a shadow of man. Most dark nights my head was in its hands.”

“Yes we feel bad in winter. We act a little bit strange. The dark sky threatens me daily. Makes me alter and mood change, change, change, change.”

“I need to build a wall around me. But I want to smile with everybody. Would you say that is possessive of me?”

“I wish I was fiction, I wish I was fact.”

“I can't express myself 'cause I'm not fully grown.”

“My heartache, is my mistake you see.”

“I want to take all the sadness. Of the world from your shoulders. I want to take all the sadness. Of the world from your shoulders. I want to take all the sadness.”

“I'm not scared of dying. I'm not scared of death. I'll keep a smile 'til my last breath. I've loved 'til I've lost. I've lived how I felt. One day I will find peace within myself.”

“If I had sharp claws I'd get on all fours. And scratch your back for free.”

“I see my body float like leaves. Every day I want to breathe. Rap my knuckles till they bleed. A river deep.”
