Wanna make a monster? Take the parts of yourself that make you uncomfortable—your weaknesses, bad thoughts, vanities, and hungers—and pretend they’re across the room. It’s too ugly to be human. It’s too ugly to be you. Children are afraid of the dark because they have nothing real to work with. Adults are afraid of themselves.
“Black Telephone” - Richard Siken (via thegenerationlost)

Now I’ll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind freed from the lies

And I’ll kneel down
Wait for now
I’ll kneel down
Know my ground

Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Feel my heart slow

Cause I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you


“I Will Wait” - Mumford & Sons
Attention, all of my worst critics
Who were once the best of friends.
You’re all just crows on the power lines

“I Didn’t Say I Was Powerful, I Said I Was A Wizard” - Chiodos

I’m gonna live my life and my dreams.
I’m gonna make my rules, my own scenes.
Sorry,
I’m not sorry.
I’m gonna live my life, take chances.
Full of hope and new romances.
Sorry, sorry,
I’m not sorry.

If the sky is the limit, then I’ll build a bridge up to it.
If I make it back, I’d still want more, more.
If the sky is the limit, then I’ll steal the air that’s in it.
I won’t take it back, I’d still want more.
I’d still want more.

If the sky is the limit, then I’ll build a bridge up to it.
If I make it back, I’d still want more.


“I’m Here To Take The Sky” - Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows
These eyes ungoverned are tearing us apart
Their ears forsaken have given up on art
Now, why believe in anything they praise
When one hand holds them the victor
While the other holds the shovel to their graves

Coheed and Cambria, “The Hard Sell” (via coginthewheel)
She makes me happy.
She sparks a light inside you’ve never failed to blow out.
Look at everything.
Look at all that you’ve become,
Nothing more than a memory.

“Casablanca Sucked Anyways” - A Day To Remember
She loves me,
She loves me not,
He repeated to himself,
Over and over

“There’s No Penguins In Alaska” - Chiodos

Let’s take a look back, so we can see,
What it took to bring us here and we’re
So reminded of better days,
When we were both happy.

Words can’t express,
the impact you’ve made on me,
And — in my entire life.
And all I can say is that I love you,
For everything it turned out to be.

This is for you (this is for you).
You’re the one worth waiting for.
You’re all I ever needed in this life.

Cause I try,
So hard to make this right (right).

You’ve got my back on the wall.

After all you’ve put me through,
My friends still stay true.

Your reign is over,
Why couldn’t you prove me wrong?


“A Second Glance” - A Day To Remember
You’ve bled me dry, but I’m still breathing
I swear I’m sucking dry the sky
And you won’t ever find us kneeling
Or swallowing your lies
If I held my ground would you ask me to change?
This drought bleeds on now we’re dancing for rain
We drink the air but it’s still not the same
These worlds collide but the distance remains
We point the finger, never accept the blame, and I know.. I know

“Dancing For Rain” - Rise Against
This is probably the best,
Not to mention the worst,
Idea that I’ve ever had

“Baby, You Wouldn’t Last A Minute On The Creek” - Chiodos
