Pvris ‘Hallucinations (2019)” +  “Dead Weight (2020)” lyric meme

Hallucinations

“What comes after the words you said?” “I always thought we'd have another life.” “I paint you in the corner of my mind.” “I can't erase you,: “My imagination's running wild.” “So much breakage.” “I'm hearing voices out of my TV.” “I can't embrace you.” “We're not close, but I still taste you.”

Nightmare

“Now I'm a nightmare.” “Your grand entry was all a blur to me.” “I never saw your face just your energy.” “I was having bad dreams, you ran away from me.” "Don't worry, babe, this time around I've changed." “You were my baby, but now you're my nightmare.” “Am I on your mind? Don't you deny it.” “Good luck on the West Coast.” “I don't think you'll find it.” “Fuck your California dreams, get away from me.” “Call me up someday when you're not high off your face.” “Look what you did to me.” “Oh, I can never sleep.”

Death Of Me

“This love looks like a loaded gun.” “If it gets in the wrong hands, then we're fucked.” “'Cause heaven knows what you do to me.” “You could chain me up or set me free.” “You could suffocate or let me breathe.” “Baby, you could be the death of me.” “Maybe I'm crazy, I know you're danger.” “One man's hell is another's God.” “You're a cold-blooded killer only after dark.” “I'll do about anything just to get those hands on me.”

Things Are Better

“Not numb, but not feeling too much.” “'Cause I've seen everything.” “I'm too tired to be tied to my woes now.” “You loved me suffering.” “Hate to tell you things are better.” “You said it was then or never.” “Old wounds recovered one after another.” “You loved me suffering but I could take the pain. Sorry I broke the chain.” “I'm done always giving too much.” “Twisted up all I said, every word and every letter.” “I wish I... Wish I could tell you things are better.”

Old Wounds

“They say don't open old wounds but you're still brand new.” “You got a little more to prove.” “One day I'll give you my heart.” “They say don't open old wounds, but I'm going to.” “I think I could love you 'til the day that you die.” “And if they said I had to, I swear I'd wait my whole life.” “I've got nothing left to lose besides you.” “I've already lost you once. What more could you do?”

Dead Weight

“So sick of being your giver, throwing my soul away.” “Look what you started.” “You're turning me heartless.” “I'm trying my hardest.” “I can't take it over and over.” “Deadweight hanging off of my shoulder.” “Nothing changes, I'm getting colder.” “If I start cracking at the centre all this goes away.” “I'm staying numb to my feelings.” “My back is breaking from taking all of this dead weight.” “Do you even notice how easy you got this?”

True Detective Sentence Meme: Season One (another of my favorites, well, the first season at least.)

WARNING: Triggering content, NSFW content, religion/death/violence/sex/drugs/suicide mentioned. Lots of foul language 

Regular Quotes

I'd consider myself a realist, alright? But in philosophical terms I'm what's called a pessimist...

Oh, just a regular type dude... with a big ass dick.

People out here, it's like they don't even know the outside world exists. Might as well be living on the fucking Moon.

It's all one ghetto man.

Stop saying shit like that. It's unprofessional.

So what's the point of getting out of bed in the morning?

I tell myself I bear witness, but the real answer is that it's obviously my programming. And I lack the constitution for suicide.

Let's make the car a place of silent reflection from now on.

Can I ask you something? You're a Christian, yeah?

I know who I am. And after all these years, there's a victory in that.

Can you get pills pretty easy?

Listen, when you're at my house, I want you to chill the fuck out.

There's nothing I can do about it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but... I'm gonna have a drink.

Given how long its taken for me to reconcile my nature, I can't figure I'd forgo it on your account.

Hmm. That sounds God-fucking-awful.

Isn't that a beautiful way to go out, painlessly as a happy child?

Trouble with dying later is you've already grown up. The damage is done. It's too late.

I can be hard to live with. I don't mean to, but I can be... critical.

Sometimes I think I'm just not good for people, that it's not good for them to be around me. 

Such holy bullshit from you. It's a woman's body, ain't it? A woman's choice.

Girls walk this Earth all the time screwin' for free. Why is it you add business to the mix and boys like you can't stand the thought? I'll tell you. It's cause suddenly you don't own it the way you thought you did.

Is shitting on any moment of decency part of your job description?

Nothing man, sorry, forget it.

You got some self loathing to do this morning, that's fine, but it ain't worth losing your hands over.

What's your deal?

I don't have "a deal".

You're kinda strange, like you might be dangerous.

Of course I'm dangerous. I'm police. I can do terrible things to people with impunity.

Now what do you mean exactly... these visions you mentioned.

Shiiiiit, just what have you two heard about me?

What the hell good is cake if you can't eat it?

You know, throughout history, I bet every old man probably said the same thing. And old men die, and the world keeps spinnin'.

What do you think the average IQ of this group is, huh?

Just observation and deduction. I see a propensity for obesity. Poverty. A yen for fairy tales.

I think it's safe to say nobody here's gonna be splitting the atom.

You see that. Your fucking attitude. 

 Not everybody wants to sit alone in an empty room beating off to murder manuals.

Yeah, well if the common good's gotta make up fairy tales, then it's not good for anybody.

Well, I don't use ten dollar words as much as you, but for a guy who sees no point in existence, you sure fret about it an awful lot.

I mean, can you imagine if people didn't believe, what things they'd get up to?

Exact same thing they do now. Just out in the open.

Bullshit. It'd be a fucking freak show of murder and debauchery and you know it.

If the only thing keeping a person decent is the expectation of divine reward, then brother that person is a piece of shit; and I'd like to get as many of them out in the open as possible.

Well, I guess your judgment is infallible, piece-of-shit-wise.

You figure it's all a scam, huh? All them folks? They just wrong?

People incapable of guilt usually do have a good time.

Do you wonder ever if you're a bad man?

World needs bad men. We keep the other bad men from the door.

But I think I'm all fucked up.

You don't have to fall in love at first sight, you know.

Every time I think you've hit a ceiling, you, you keep raising the bar. You're like the Michael Jordan of being a son of a bitch.

Fuuuck! Hell of a bedside manner you've got.

Ahh, you know, being stupid is different than going in sick, and this is a bar, not a fuckin' bedside.

All the dick swagger you roll, you can't spot crazy pussy?

So, enough with the self-improvement-penance-hand-wringing shit. Let's go to work.

Oh God damn it, I am so done talking to you like a man.

What the fuck you think I want with you, huh?

I'm sorry. What are you suggesting, exactly?

I will skull-fuck you, you bitch!

This is none of my business... I don't want to hear it.

Do you know the good years when you're in them, or do you just wait for them until you get ass cancer?

What always happens between men and women? Reality.

Someone once told me time is a flat circle.

The newspapers are gonna be tough on you.

No, buddy, without me... there is no you.

Yeah. Fuck this. Fuck this world.

You know, people that give me advice, I reckon they're talking to themselves.

A man's game charges a man's price. Take that away from this, if nothing else.

I'm the person least in the need of counseling in this entire fucking state.

Thought maybe we should talk.

If you get the opportunity, you should kill yourself.

Hey, man, look. Why don't you just get out of here, please? I don't want to get arrested. Just - just get... before I do something to you.

I slept with someone... And you know him/her... You're close.

Oh... Now, what-what are you saying?... What - what are you - what the fuck are you saying to me?

Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you get good at.

If you were drowning, I'd throw you a fuckin' barbell.

Why would I ever help you?

Hey. You better get those jumper cables ready, the motherfucker is lying.

Get on out of here, you're classin' the place up.

My family's been here a long, long time.

He ain't gonna talk with you.

I got a car battery and two jumper cables argue different.

A man remembers his debts.

Fuck, I don't like this place... Nothing grows in the right direction.

What happened in my head is not something that gets better.

Well you know what, I just got here; I was gonna leave, but then you woke up - Jesus, what's your fuckin' problem?

Not a care in the world.

I'm not supposed to be here.

Yeah... well, I'll come back by tomorrow, buddy.

Don't ever change, man.

Agh. Ah, fuck. Ah, he got me pretty good...

Do I strike you as a talker or a doer?

You'll rip out your fucking stitches. Stop it.

This is the place.

Everybody's got a choice, ____... Shit, I sure blamed you.

There you go... Everybody's got a choice.

It's hard to find something in a man who rejects people as much as you do, you know that?

Come die with me, little priest.

The DEEP SHIT™

I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution.

There can be a burden in authority, in vigilance, like a father's burden.

I think the honorable thing for our species to do is to deny our programming. Stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction - one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal. 

This place is like somebody's memory of a town, and the memory is fading.

I contemplate the moment in the garden; the idea of allowing your own crucifixion.

I don't sleep, I just dream. 

You got kids? I think of the hubris it must take, to yank a sole out of nonexistence into this meat; a force of life into this thresher.

I know who I am. And after all these years, there's a victory in that.

Yeah, back then, the visions, yeah most of the time I was convinced... Shit... I'd lost it. But there were other times... I thought I was mainlining the secret truth of the universe.

I mean, it's like somethin's got your name on it, like a bullet or a nail in the road...

People... so goddamn frail they'd rather put a coin in the wishing well than buy dinner.

This... This is what I'm talking about. This is what I mean when I'm talkin' about time, and death, and futility.

They welcomed it... not at first, but... right there in the last instant. It's an unmistakable relief. See, cause they were afraid, and now they saw for the very first time how easy it was to just... let go.

All your life--you know, all your love, all your hate, all your memories, all your pain--it was all the same thing. It was all the same dream, a dream that you had inside a locked room, a dream about being a person.

And like a lot of dreams, there's a monster at the end of it.

You see, we all got what I call a life trap - a gene deep certainty that things will be different...

Nothing's ever fulfilled, not until the very end. And closure - nothing is ever over.

I have seen the finale of thousands of lives, man. Young, old, each one so sure of their realness. You know that their sensory experience constituted a unique individual with purpose and meaning. So certain that they were more than biological puppet. The truth wills out, and everybody sees. Once the strings are cut, all fall down.

In eternity, where there is no time, nothing can grow. Nothing can become. Nothing changes. So Death created time to grow the things that it would kill.

And you are reborn, but into the same life that you've always been born into. I mean, how many times have we had this conversation? Well, who knows?

When you can't remember your lives, you can't change your lives, and that is the terrible and the secret fate of all life. You're trapped by that nightmare you keep waking up into.

I can see your soul at the edges of your eyes. It's corrosive, like acid. 

Sometimes... this feeling like life has slipped through your fingers... like the future is behind you, like it's always been behind you.

There's a shadow on you, son.

I saw you in my dream. You're in Carcosa now with me... He sees you... You'll do this again... Time is a flat circle.

There's no such thing as forgiveness. People just have short memories.

All my life I wanted to be nearer to God. But the only nearness - silence.

Some people, no matter where they look, they see themselves.

You see, sometimes people... mistake a child as an answer for something, you know, like a way to change their story.

Look, as sentient meat, however illusory our identities are, we craft those identities by making value judgments: everybody judges, all the time. Now, you got a problem with that... You're livin' wrong.

Once there was only dark. If you ask me, the light's winning.

BREAKING BAD SENTENCE MEME: SEASON 1 (because this is still my favorite show of all time.)

Episode One

There are...there are going to be some things that you'll come to learn about me in the next few days.

So, how's it feel to be old?

How does it feel to be a smart ass?

Why are you here?

Honestly, I never expected you to amount to much.

There's a lot of money in it, huh?

Like I said, no one is looking for you.

I mean, if you're planning on giving me some bullshit about getting right with Jesus by turning myself in...

I'm thinking...maybe you and I could partner up.

You flunked me; remember?

Prick! 

Why do you do it?

It's weird is all, okay? It doesn't compute. 

Listen, if you've gone crazy or something; I mean, if you've gone crazy or depressed, I'm just saying that's something I need to know about. Okay? I mean, that affects me.

Episode Two

After we finish cleaning up this mess, we will go our separate ways. Our paths will never cross and we will tell this to no one. Understood?

Oh what, I can talk now?

Oh shit.

Are you smoking weed? Oh my God!

Wait a minute, is that my weed? What the hell, man? 

God. I don't suppose you could kiss my ass?

He...sells me pot.

He sells you pot?

I don't know. I kind of like it.

Are you out of your mind? What are you, like sixteen years old?

I just...haven't quite been myself lately.

Yeah, no shit. Thanks for noticing.

I haven't been myself lately, but I love you. Nothing about that has changed, nothing ever will.

So right now, what I need is for you to climb down out of my ass. Can you do that? Will you do that for me, honey?

Will you please, just once, get off my ass, you know? I'd appreciate it, I really would.

Oh, now there's a load off my mind.

Good job wearing the pants in the family!

I'm sorry, what were you asking me?

Episode Three

I didn't ask for any of this!

How am I supposed to live here now, huh? 

Because you didn't follow my instructions!

Oh well, heil Hitler, bitch! 

We flipped a coin, okay? You and me. You and me! Coin flip is sacred! 

So why are you telling me this?

'Cause I love you, you little bastard.

You getting to know me is not gonna make it any easier for you to kill me.

You know, you keep telling me that I don't have it in me. Well, maybe, maybe not. I sure as hell am looking for any reason not to. I mean, any good reason at all.

I guess I'd start off by promising that if you let me go, I won't come after you. 

But you know that anybody in my situation would make promises like that, and though in my case they happen to be true, you'd never know for sure. 

But you gotta convince me and you're going nowhere until you do.

You're doing the right thing, _____.

So you're not angry?

How do you mean? Angry? No. Live and let live, man.

That's very understanding.

Whatever, man. I just want to go home.

I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...

I don't know. Just...doesn't it seem like...something's missing?

What about the soul?

The soul? There's nothing but chemistry here.

Episode Four

So be on notice. We got new players in town. We don't know who they are, where they come from, but they possess an extremely high skill-set.

I have cancer. Lung cancer. It's bad.

You can't be serious. What the hell are you doing here?

I mean, no offense.

Who sent you? You wearing a wire? You setting me up?

What the hell's wrong with you?

So who did you tell about–

What are you, nuts?

Yeah, you know...what you call...a debrief? Maybe we could like...I thought we could debrief.

Yeah, after what happened, it just seems like the thing to do. Kind of, you know, talk about it. We can't talk to anybody else.

Get the hell off my property.

Go and don't come back. Now!

Right on, little bro! Making mad in-roads with the business community.

I just don't want emotions ruling us. 

Then why don't you just fucking die already? Just give up and die.

Episode Five

Yo, why would you want this lame-ass job anyway? I mean, no offense.

Gotta prove to the man I'm rehabilitated

Cute, huh?

Alright, I've got the Talking Pillow now. Okay?

But...what I want...what I want, what I need, is a choice.

Sometimes I feel like I never actually make any of my own. Choices, I mean. My entire life, it just seems I never...you know, had a real say about any of it. 

Then make the right choice, ____.

Episode Six

You got any issues with that?

Whatever, man.

No matter what happens, no more bloodshed. No violence.

When were you going to tell me?

Cancer. You got it, right?

I'm your partner, man. You should have told me. That's not cool, okay?

You got a problem with that?

I mean, I used to until you killed him.

I don't imagine I'll be here very long.

Why don't you start talking and tell me what you want?

Oh yeah, I remember that little bitch! 

Woo! That's a brilliant plan, esé.

You got one part of that wrong. 

Are you nuts?!

You got balls, I'll give you that.

Hey, what is that shit?

Episode Seven

Where...did that come from? And why was it so damn good?

Let me guess, you picked this place?

This is...This is like a...a non-criminal's idea of a drug meet. 

So you do have a plan!

Yeah science!

So what's this stuff called again?

You're all right, man. You're all right. We're going to make a lot of money together.

Just remember who you're working for.

Like they don't already know that? Are you saying they're stupid?

No, I'm just...I'm just saying.

Oh yeah, so you're not saying they're stupid. So I don't understand. Are you saying that I'm stupid?

No, you're just speaking for me! Like I ain't got the goddamn sense to speak for myself! Is that it? Is that what you're doing?

Hey, why don't we just all relax, huh?

I'm relaxed. I'm relaxed. I'm relaxed.

Damn, man! Look at that! Look! Yeah, that's messed up!

And the chains that pull me down, slacken off when you're around. And it's comforting to know I'll rip out all the hooks from my skin so I can grow. Sometimes I disagreed, just to hear you scream.

I'll be there to wipe your tears

I never knew you felt this way

I wish I could've seen your pain

I would've never let you walk away

How could I let it get this far?

Tell me what you're going through

But please stay with us

I see your heart light fade

I know you're hiding in the woods

I want my friend back.

As long as you're with me we can move on

As long as you're here I'm the lucky one...

How do we do this on our own

Where do we go when life gets oh so emotional

I'm the lucky one and I'll be that way forever

If I could be good enough, then I would be blown away.

'cause something doesn't feel right.

You have to start somewhere; despair won't wear wherever again.

I think it's time we shake it up

We've been here for centuries 

Let's see whose flame burns brighter

Let's see who is ready to quit 

Let's talk about where you come from

We want the same thing but it just ain't good enough

You know nothing about me

You're always gonna doubt me

I believe this is my life

Look forward to the break down

Time changes everything

Fake it till you make it

If you live like someone's watching you you'll be the egg that never broke

No more screaming, "someone save me"

I never needed to win. I never needed anything

I never needed to win at all

I will stand here in awe

I Hope You’re Happy (2018)

Everybody has a secret, real pain that they all conceal

All I wanted was a brand new start

Come party with me in the daylight

I wear a mask in the spotlight

I'm not even going in there

I'm afraid it would tear us apart

Your baby is a monster

You don't know the things I've done

You don't know what I've become

Well, I think of you as comfort

Could you love me?

All in all I'm not the same

I try to tell you everything, all of the things I've done

And I'm scared to tell you everything

Would you let me come back home?

I need to tell you thank you 'cause I think that you're the one

You don't see what goes on in me or all the damage that I've done

Love me, and hold me, and hug me, take me back

Love me, forgive me, and hold me

Where you go I'll follow

We ain't gonna get back together

I don't give a shit who you are

I'm never gonna feel like I am nothing so I'm never gonna be your star

So I think I'm beautiful and I like it that way

I'll do me, you do you

I'm gonna turn my life into something great

one day you'll regret this

And I don't care what you say and I don't care who you are

There will be days when you're falling down

They're never gonna hold you back

I'm always gonna have your back

I hope you're happy. I hope you're good

I hope you get what you wish for and you're well understood

I remember that Saturday night. Do you?

And whatever your progress, I know you'll be fine

I remember when the world was ours to take

You'll always have a piece of me

I remember how we tried and we tried. I remember everything

Yeah, we should be owning all our own personal goals

I'd like to know why you're preaching. I'd like to know where it goes

I've learned the best thing you can do is show 'em that you're happy

Will you cut me bitch, cut me good

You took that away

I'm sorry for the things I did to you

I'm sorry for the shit I put you through

I should've been a better man

Isn't what a better man would do

Follow your dreams wherever they go

Hold me close, closer than ever before

Love me like you won't let go

You in my arms, I feel like a king

I love you like I won't let go

I'll love you till my dying day

you taught me how to love again

Let forever mean forever and carry on

I'm cold, when it storms, you're my summer fire

You're still on my mind

How do I begin letting this loss end 

I'm reaching out to find you

I promised I would be brave

Foiled (2006)

Once so hard to speak, now so easy to play around

I was hypnotized

You make me smile

And could you be the one that's not afraid to look me in the eye?

Hey, we can hide the bodies on the ride home 

I'll be reaching for the stars with you

Who cares if no one else believes

I'm your ride home

Cause we're going home

Yeah we won

I'm just a normal boy

Wish I was much more masculine

I'm cold as cold as cold can be

I wanna swim away but don't know how

Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean

Let the rain of what I feel right now come down

I'm reaching for the life within me

How can one man stop his ending

I calculate what I had done

My will to quickly end it all set front row in my need to fall

Into the ocean, end it all

I would meet you

Would you meet me?

I'm glad to say that we've met, but I'm sad to say that the circumstances weren't on our side

It's like a last chance for a first dance

I have to block out thoughts of you so I don't lose my head

Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home

There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain

An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again?

And will you never say that you loved me, just to put it in my face?

And will you never try to reach me?

Hate me today. Hate me tomorrow

Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways... Yeah, ways hard to swallow

Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

I'm sober now for three whole months it's one accomplishment that you helped me with

The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won't touch again

In my sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night

While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight

You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate

You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take

So I'll drive so fucking far away that I never cross your mind and do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made

And like a baby boy I never was a man

Make it go away!

Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be

How can you do this to me?

Why do I feel this way?

How could I let it go?

How could I let her go?

Would you like to take a walk with me

My mind, it kind of goes fast. I try to slow it down for you

I want to give you something I've been wanting to give to you for years. My heart

My heart, my pain won't cover up

You left me

I came to see the light in my best friend

You seemed as happy as you'd ever been

My chance of being open was broken

And now you're Mrs. him.

And I can't change this

I can never take it back

But now I can't change your mind

Make it go away. Please.

I walk as far as they need to recover

I want to carry a piece of who I was before So when I hit the wall, I really hit the wall

I owned up, I've grown up, do you remember me?

I showed up and so what if I'm the used to be

But I'm happy that you're happy

This is no longer about me

I been a drunk disrespectful little street punk

There's a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guy

Making sense of all mistakes and my stupidity

And when you're sick you seem to think you've failed eternally

I'm really sick of saying sorry but I will

I want to learn to walk with others as an equal

I want to treat the ones who love me with respect

I want to kiss a girl and know I'll never lie again

Still you try to control it

Could you imagine the phobia?

Your brain is faulty wiring

I'm sick of shaking, never waking from the hell I achieve

I never knew you till you left me with the crying disease

Yeah your memory that punches me has broken the bone

I'm admitting I'm wrong

And now you're pulling out the best of me

Its proof to show that I bleed for this and I'd cut myself the shame to get to know this masochist who has stolen my first name

I never knew a heart could live inside the rust from all your rain

I didn't think to bring a wash cloth and rub away the dirt

Myself and I we share this barely beating heart of hurt

I want to show you just how fascinating kissing is

I may be some sort of crazy

We may be some sort of crazy

I swear on everything I have and more

I am toasting to the way you put that smile upon my face

Please take the message that I'm picking up my chin at last

I said my confidence, It gets stronger when you're next to me

I might crumble, I might take a fall again

Still missing you

But you're my everlasting friend

Please take the message that you taught me how to live at last

Will you be coming home?

I just want to know that you'll be coming

Is this happening?

I can't believe this is happening to me

I'm so yours for the taking

These words to say and then you kissed me...

Approaching Normal (2009)

It's gone wrong again. Gone fucking wrong.

Well liars they leave a guilty trail.

I've been lying for fucking years.

Now you've seen what I've done

How did I get here?

Just fucking thump his head and he'll turn back to normal.

Now why is that what I see?

Don't bother trusting me

Don't bother waiting

Don't bother changing things that won't give into changing

Just let me go away

It's all about making the best out of everything

You'll know when you're fine

You get back up and you're doing fine

But I don't have the time for your distorted esteem

Why are you toying with my mind?

I don't wanna hear you say it

Now you're messing with my pride

You think you're smarter than me

Well everyone knows you will never be smarter than me

Well I confess, you were too much stress

Well, I'm sick of standing in your line

I will never let you fuck me over

Stop talking down to me your war is old

Your game is over

Something we don't talk about

I'm like a ghost

What a fucking sad way to go

Your mother raised you as a joke

You think you own me. You should have known me

You took the future and the food off my family's plate

You think you'll use me. I'm stronger than you

You take my money, but it's useless when you see what I do to you

Look what I do to you

I really think that this is fun for the money

I'll make it comfy for the time wasted making you rich

finally you're mine

I dreamt you seduced me just to walk away

I dreamt you inspired then rewired what I say

But then I woke up feeling nauseous

how long have I been down?

I dreamt you called me beautiful then asked to hear me sing

Why can't we work when we both try?

I meant to sympathize I meant to be a friend

I know apologizing wont erase the end

But I learned that moving on, is where I must begin

Because when our colors mixed we couldn't fix the way they wouldn't blend

And I wish that only greatness follow you around

I hope to God, you find a way to keep from down

Please try to understand, yeah to understand me

Will you think of me, in time?

It's never my luck, So never mind.

I had a dream that you were with me

it wasn't my fault

I've never been here before

And yeah I've lost a lot of what I never expect to ever return

I can try to be with you, but some how I'll end up just losing a friend

I'm losing my friend...

Where did she go?

Will you let me into your heaven?

Stop staring, you're the reason I feel so unhappy all the time

Look I'm sorry if you feel like I let you down

Can you tell me what have I done so wrong to you

Tell me what am I supposed to do

I should be loved by you, that I know is true

I can't breathe when you're around!

You're too scared, scared of all of it

I get that feeling I'm talking to the wall

Can you hear me at all? 

I got a feeling you're falling out of love with me

Tell me who am I supposed to be?

Here it is the day, I have to go

Here it is the day I have to go

I can't let this show, how sick I feel to leave you so alone

The dust has blinded you, the dust has blinded me

Because we have to live

Tell me you've used all precautions known

Cause if I believe in you, will you believe in me

Keep hanging on

Start healing

I really need to talk with you

I don't feel perfect at all. Sad and insecure and flawed

I find it hard to hold conversations

I'm wondering will it ever go away...just go away

Sometimes I feel like weeping, Awake and when I'm sleeping

How long will I be picking up pieces?

It feels like my heart is made of pure steel. It's just so heavy all the time

Yeah I'm scared of death and I'm scared of living

I gave up on the past cause it's unforgiving

Be strong ! Don't give up hope

You have to hold your head up high and watch all the negative go by

Don't you ever be ashamed to cry! You go ahead!

I want to tell you that everything will be okay

Don't lose yourself or your hope

I'm asking help me

Time to shake these memories

It's time to leave the past in the past

How far will I go to make it feel right?

Come home

I have to fix this on my own

Replace my heart, cause I'm convinced mine broke the day I let us end

I don't wanna live by coping, I'm done with hoping.....

Any Man In America (2011)

Do you feel it fall or do you feel at all? I can.

I can't be anything but who I am

I wish you'd stay

No I would never have let go

You used to make me feel at home, you made me feel at home, you made me feel again

And you would say I wish you'd stay and I'd never go

So take this heart of mine. You've taken it a hundred thousand times

I wish you'd have stayed

You want a separation

I tried everything, I work so hard for you

I put my heart in a dream

You never learned one thing, no, you never believed in me...

I missed the tour where you told me not to come home again

You bury your intentions like motherfucking nuclear bomb

You promised change and I believed. I walked right back into the same .

So if you're gonna leave me ‒ go away

Just remember I've told you it's what I'm all about

Maybe we should run away

Maybe we should disappear

Through understanding, I tried forgiveness,

I faced the past, it's what I witnessed

Why do I only feel the chills when I'm with you?

Why does a heart always have to break

Now there will be nothing to talk about,

I only note the truth is spoken best when brutally so honestly.

You had meaning to me

I was losing custody

I never even saw that shit.

I should have hid that shit 

It took twenty years of working just to earn that shit

Like you don't know.

You act like you believe it. That you're in control.

They don't think about you

No, they don't care about you.

And I tried to focus all my anger in my work instead.

But inside my soul is dead.

Literally they took her from me.

Fuck the judge. Fuck that county. Fuck your family too.

I'm way too strong

I work my ass off all day long.

I hate you, hate you, god.

You won't understand, probably never will.

Did he really get to take you home?

I'm surprised that you chose him.

I'm not surprised I never saw you around.

So who does this separation work for?

It's not about the feelings that we shared before.

Gah, no more.

What did you want me for?

You'll be sorrier when I'm gone.

Look I give you credit for pathetically thinking that you could make this up.

I should have seen the end was coming sooner than I ever did.

I found things that I didn't wanna know were there

I don't wanna give you my heart

No one's ever told you "no"

Can't expect you to know how to love when it was somethin' you were never taught

Just be good to yourself and love goes unspoken

I'm gonna keep it up

But nothing helped at all

And you're not listening to what I say

Communication has not made its way to your agenda for today

We're gonna have some problems, though

Leave that shit at your door

You don't get the point

You can't have me tonight, tomorrow night, the next day

You're not my fucking problem

I'm gonna win this conversation

Yeah, I truly believe you fucking ruined us all

Don't be concerned, that's just the power of a breaking heart... How good am I hiding it?

How good am I hiding it?

Look, I've got some bad intentions. Guilty as fucking charged.

I know that God exists. I held her in my arms.

I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong.

Take me off your worry list, it'll be better that way.

I might've been gone but I never walked out.

what kind of man would take the trust you break... and still follow through.

I'm just sick of calling your bluff.

I'm trying hard to change the things I always screw up.

But I've got to make the best of it.

There's something wrong here... Nobody's at home.

This is what your story's about.

My pretty little girl, can you figure it out?

Just listen to the stories. Not everything is glorious.

I fought the world and I lost that bout

And you are what my album's about.

Pride. It leaves you hollow

You know you should accept it

You're everything I ever want to be

Yeah that's what I do

Yeah I follow through 

We never found the line between the real and pretend

We have to... follow through

That's what's best for us all

Let me help you live on

The Answers (1998)

But to picture the pleasure is making me want my space.

God wrapped you like a bow.

If what you're seeing is an open book, that's great 'cause I'm an open book.

But I'm real shy. 

There's a part of me seeking and desperately needing to open up.

That's strange 'cause I'm an open book, a confused boy/girl.

I'm an automatic steeple for depressed and lonely people.

But the only funny thing is that I don't know how to give myself advice.

I've got to learn to live and dream before I go and get myself in love.

Makes me appreciate how the little things are

Yeah, I'm really clean if you know what I mean

But I'm really not that scared

An anniversary of not being strong enough

He/She loves the winter, but it smells too much like memories

So say farewell to all the little things she would say and do

You're much to co-dependent. A shrink is recommended

who are the people you hang around with?

Who are the ones you're gonna call? When you feel like ending it all?

But I can't bring you down

And I smell the coffee on your fingers

You gotta make her/him know how it feels to miss you

You're not the one with all the problems

You're the one with all the pride

Walk the coolest walk that you know

I've learned a lot from all these break ups and make ups and fuck ups and fake ups

I ended the book that I'm writing.

There's nothing left to even read about.

I'm leaving you here my darling,

I changed up the words to make you happy though.

I've noticed the things that you wanted me to be, they outweigh the ones that make me happy.

So pull out your hand to meet my fine new lady, She's rock n' roll, and she saved me.

I'm so scared to make another mistake in the end

But I just want to be happy again.

Until it all falls down, and where does that leave me?

I can't sleep without the thought of me being so, so damn sick.

Believe you can shine when you're silver, and I promise you gold.

And whenever you're dark inside, don't let go.

And remember I love you the same and I'll strangle you're pain

God, I'm so alone

But I really didn't know him at all.

I shout out.... I got love for the family.

So don't lecture me.

My weaknesses, rear their ugly faces on a day to day basis.

I'm feeling small, tall and sick of it all.

But I can't seem to fly away.

What a sick enchanted view

I've got no vacancies

I kicked and screamed

You won't feel a thing

And who would've thought a cup of coffee would make my legs unstable

And would it really kill you if you would try to have a good time instead of screwing up mine. Like you usually do 

 This song we started, will it ever end?

You fell asleep again 

 Well goodbye 

Hold on to me, you are the closest thing I've ever had to a real friend 

Tomorrow , I'm gonna find a way to die 

I'm living only for a lover 

Will you cry from all the drugs I took 

We're gonna find a place to live

Oh fuck the world

If you're brave enough to hold my hand

Have you ever been so lonely, no one there to hold?

It is not that I am scared to learn, why I'm empty inside.

hold my hand or show some concern, if I live or die.

Help me look inside.

The thought of ending it soon...

Just let me sleep in my room.

Don't come in!

Leave me alone. Just go away.

I want to belong...to someone... But maybe life's not for everyone

Consent To Treatment (2000)

I still want the girl that really caught my eye.

I'm finally happy

I deal with the fact that I've forgotten the worst.

I feel that my social behavior may seem somewhat unrehearsed.

And I'll be back to my normal self.

I apologize to the people I hurt on the way.

I want you to, to kneel all day

Scream if you want to cause no one is around

How I love to hate you!

You're not so brave. When I'm the snake, and you're my prey

It's a good thing to know as you walk into group for the show

But still nonetheless alone

I learned quick. Knew what to say

God keep him safe from screaming voices

They actually knelt down and prayed for me

Does self abuse extend your hospital stay?

I think I'll lie a bit

I won't cry over anything at all

You've got to take it kind of slowly

You've got to hurry up and make your move

I keep falling all around this fairy tale.

I never thought I'd smile so much

The first kiss always says the most

Everyone should know that

I won't be strong and I won't brave

Because you don't treat me the right way

I won't be apart of this drawn out game

I've got the mood that seems to scare you.

I'm paranoid, self destroyed.

Believe me lord I'm sorry

I've got the mood that seems to bury you

I've got the nightmare called... Schizophrenia

I cry. I cry and I don't know why.

The fever becomes my home.

I love it when you're holding me.

You have a gentle way of calming.

I bet you're waiting for a long sob story of how I was mistreated again.

I was strong but desperately brave.

And I didn't mean to scare you

It's just a trip not a way to ease your pain

This is not a way to ease your pain

Self help, tell another shrink the same damn thing

Stay cool, everything is going to be OK

Until you decide to drop again

You must be broken by a thousand ways of wasting time

Get to the point

But I seem to think more than I act upon most things.

Do you ever wonder how hard you hit?

You broke my thunder

The sad detail is all the promises that I make.

I'm sick of living without you in bed

I will never be with you.

Look me in the face What do you see?

I feel like a boy the age of 13

How do you tell an angel that you don't believe in God?

Why do I feel like such a stranger

I look around and all my friends are gone

Why does this seem like such a bother?

To scared to ask for help

You're better than any midnight sex

I can't stop cause if feels too good

I won't stop but I know I should

Cause I can make you laugh, if he makes you scream

If he breaks you, tell me everything

Cause here we are alone again

I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with amnesia and try to forget the things I've done

I wish I knew how to keep the promises I made you

But life, I guess it goes on

When I was young I was stung and somehow lost God's faith

But I'm wishing this amnesia would kick in

History For Sale (2003)

Able to breathe a sweet relief now that you're here with me 

Now I'm recovering

I only want you to see my favorite part of me

You can't know, yet you have to know

I only want you to see my favorite part of me and not my ugly side

I look for you to light my heart

I know... I can't be far

Because I want to fall in love with you

Believe in heroes

It is you that took my first away from me

It is you I set my standards to... to every walk of life

I haven't met another you since you were with me.

I freaked out, thinking people didn't love me

I watched closely as the you I knew forgot me

In letting go, I am so proud of what I've done

In a way, I failed religion

I reached for something more than just your God

There's no forgiveness for you! You sick fuck!

I'm so in love with you, you'll never take that away

expect me to be calling you to see if you're OK when I'm not around.

Do I try too hard to make you smile?

I can't believe you actually picked me

I thought that the world had lost it's sway

It's so hard sometimes

You take away the old; show me the new

And I feel like I can fly when I stand next to you

I changed my color for you

I lack the beauty you display

Here comes excuses why I let you down

How do I ask you this? Will you help me through?

I'm sorry for the way I treated you

I'm stuck in my ways to just run

It's getting more impossible to keep a straight face and be trusted with “I love you”.

Don't trust my words when I'm in the bed with you

Can you show me how to treat someone? I don't recall ever learning how

I keep fucking up

I'm in pain but I won't let you Band-Aid my wound

Give me a quiet mind and I...I love you

Give me strength to be kind.

Still hearing voices... From front... From behind. They're the reasons I choose... When to live... How to die...

I'll ask permission for the wrong to win

Got to get back up but at your own pace

Look strong; like you belong cause you do belong

Whether right or wrong you belong

I'm on your side, if you fail at least you tried

Yeah we only want to sing when we want to

Yeah we only want a dream we can flaunt to

I only wanted to be somebody, so fucking bad, I came unglued

So you caught me! Wishing I were better than the rest

You hit me and left bruises on my chest

Now you know how it feels to drop the ball

I should have won, but how?

Who let the loser win?

Let's let the losers win!

I want you to come closer

Come dancing with devils

Our souls become useless

But still, the truth remains lethal

I really do 

How am I supposed to breathe?

So I make you my religion, my collision, an escape goat

So have I found your secret weak spot, baby?

Can you pretend I'm amazing?

I can pretend I'm amazing...

Can you pretend I'm amazing instead of what we both know?

And for that I apologize

You see you're my only know how

Crappy Circle Icon tutorial?

I’m sure most people know how to do this by now, but this is how you make circle icons! 

i. Start with a blank file, I usually use 100x100 or smaller for icons and 200x200 for dash icons. 

ii. get your picture. after that, you change your selection too from ‘square’ to ‘elliptical’

iii. hold shift to make a perfect circle and drag to select the area you want. Make sure you don’t select off of the image because that edge won’t be round

iv. swap back to the blank icon project and paste your selection

v. resize your circle and make it fit into the template

vi. click ‘save as’ and change the format to ‘png’ so the background will stay transparent. i always save with my png options on default, aka ‘smallest/slow’ and no interlace

vii. Enjoy your circle icon!

So, starting like now… I’m accepting graphics requests. I can make icons and simple theme backgrounds. As well as aesthetic boards, moodboards, or anything really. All I ask is that you consider donating to me if you really like what I made you. You can reblog this for a signal boost or whatever, but I would really love if some people considered requesting me here, on my main roleplay blog, or on my musing blog. 

I’m not charging for my stuff, but I really would love for you to donate if you like my content. I’ll have some examples below of different kinds of edits I’ve done.
