I. You are

not what they say

that it's unwanted

but they mean

that it's

unknown

and to know you would (not)

be to be to know you.

at all

II. Say it like it's

contagious

while living (?) your life

like quarantined

(lust?)

In the eyes of this demon

there's only dreams

of what they told you it

was(n't)

III. The first on the scent of a

good liar

but the last (one?)

to admit to the lies,

she's burnt out

like smoking

guns

candles

lives

lead to the fullest, but never to be remembered

IV. We'll just cash that

loyalty

right in,

because your value(s?)

Has gone down drastically

in the latest

(crash) news,

is this news

to you?

V. Hold your breath

your heart

your hopes

your head

high, because

as long as it's still on your head,

you've got something

going for you

you've got that angel on your shoulder

but no matter which way you turn,

she's gone without a (trace)

VI. Can't you believe (it's)

the changing of (ways)

fragility marks the (end?)

Of permanence, and you,

you

are the compassion

that is the beginning of

(what, now?)

VII. Chewing on glass

may make the unpleasantries

seem cordial

like wine, but more addicting

Addiction like the verdict

in front of the days

behind the nights

and everywhere you try to see

but

love

it seems like yesterday we said

but, love,

it's been a while.

A/N: And hasn't it, though?

In the latest news, I have the overwhelming desire to write romance, though the reason why is completely beyond me.

Have I mention that this band is the second most inspiring thing I've ever heard? .com/bimmusic

WOW, guys, listen to that. It's good stuff.

Tugging on your heart strings and all that jazz,
