“ when they catch you they will kill you. but first they must catch you. ”
“ when the time is right, we’re going to make them pay. all of them. ”
“ but in all chaos, there is calculation. ”
“ i’m not in danger, i am danger. ”
“ we go to war with a smile on our faces. ”
“ but whatever you do, always be dressed to kill. ”
“ this ain’t no place for a hero. ”
“ i can do this. and even if i can’t, i have to. ”
“ my purpose is greater than my pain. ”
“ nothing scares me anymore. ”
“ there is some good in this world, and it is worth fighting for. ”
“ you should not be here. ”
“ i don’t think you understand what you’re messing with. ”
“ take cover ! ”
“ you take the lead, i’ll cover you. ”
“ i’m not who you think i am. ”
“ i knew you would come, eventually. ”
“ don’t you understand ? this is a trap ! ”
“ this will be your destruction. ”
“ make sure they don’t see you leave. ”
“ stop touching your ear, you’re making yourself known. ”
“ quick, follow me. ”
“ this is about to get really messy, isn’t it ? ”

i’m doing good, i’m on some new shit.
i thought I saw you at the bus stop
the greatest films of all time were never made
if you wanted me, you really should’ve showed
we were something, don’t you think so?
if my wishes came true, it would’ve been you
in my defense, i have none for never leaving well enough alone
it would’ve been fun if you would’ve been the one
you know the greatest loves of all time are over now
if one thing had been different would everything be different today?
when you are young, they assume you know nothing
i felt like I was an old cardigan
a friend to all is a friend to none
to kiss in cars and downtown bars was all we needed
you drew stars around my scars but now I’m bleedin'
i knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs
cause i knew everything when I was young
i knew i’d curse you for the longest time
i knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired and you’d be standin’ in my front porch light
i knew you’d come back to me
the wedding was charming, if a little gauche
there goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
who knows, if she never showed up, what could’ve been
she had a marvelous time ruining everything
there goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen
i had a marvelous time ruining everything
i can see you standing, honey, with his arms around your body
it took you five whole minutes to pack us up and leave me with it
you were my town, now I’m in exile
i can see you starin’, honey, like he’s just your understudy
I’m not your problem anymore, so who am i offending now?
there is no amount of crying i can do for you
you didn’t even hear me out
you didn’t even see the signs
cause you never gave a warning sign
i gave so many signs
if I’m on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too
even on my worst day, did i deserve, babe, all the hell you gave me?
cause i loved you, i swear i loved you til my dying day
i didn’t have it in myself to go with grace
if I’m dead to you, why are you at the wake?
you wear the same jewels that i gave you as you bury me
you know i didn’t want to have to haunt you
when i’d fight, you used to tell me i was brave
and i can go anywhere i want just not home
you can aim for my heart, go for blood but you would still miss me in your bones
you had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
i’ll show you every version of yourself tonight
i want you to know i’m a mirrorball, i can change everything about me to fit in
i’m still a believer, but i don’t know why
are there still beautiful things?
and though i can’t recall your face i still got love for you
love you to the moon and to saturn
i think your house is haunted. your dad is always mad and that must be why
i think you should come live with me
never have i ever before
will you call when you’re back at school?
i remember thinkin’ i had you
for me, it was enough to live for the hope of it all
so much for summer love
you weren’t mine to lose
i can see us twisted in bed sheets
i’ve been having a hard time adjusting
i didn't know if you’d care if i came back
i just wanted you to know that this is me trying
pulled the car off the road to the lookout, could’ve followed my fears all the way down
they told me all of my cages were mental, so i got wasted like all my potential
my words shoot to kill when i’m mad, i have a lot of regrets about that
it’s hard to be at a party when i feel like an open wound
that’s the thing about illicit affairs and clandestine meetings and longing stares, it’s born from just one single glance but it dies a million little times
you showed me colors you know i can’t see with anyone else
don’t call me “kid,”
don’t call me “baby”
you taught me a secret language i can’t speak with anyone else
you know damn well, for you, i would ruin myself a million little times
were there clues i didn’t see?
isn’t it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string, tying you to me?
time cutting me open, then healing me fine
what did you think i’d say to that?
fuck you forever
every time you call me crazy, i get more crazy
when you say i seem angry, i get more angry
it’s obvious that wanting me dead has really brought you two together
i’m taking my time cause you took everything from me
sir, i think he’s bleeding out
you dream of some epiphany, just one single glimpse of relief to make some sense of what you’ve seen
doc, i think she’s crashing out
some things you just can’t speak about
i won’t make assumptions about why you switched your homeroom but i think it’s ‘cause of me
the worst thing that i ever did was what i did to you
would you trust me if i told you it was just a summer thing?
i don’t know anything but i know i miss you
if i just showed up at your party, would you have me?
our coming-of-age has come and gone
i never had the courage of my convictions
i could never give you peace
i’m a fire and i'll keep your brittle heart warm if your cascade, ocean wave blues come
all these people think love’s for show but i would die for you in secret
would it be enough if i could never give you peace?
your integrity makes me seem small
i’d give you my sunshine, give you my best but the rain is always gonna come if you’re standin’ with me
you know i left a part of me back in new york
you knew the hero died so what’s the movie for?
darling, this was just as hard as when they pulled me apart
don’t want no other shade of blue but you. no other sadness in the world would do
