The World In The Mirror

I am not afraid of you. There's nothing you can do to me that hasn't already been done before.

The Bricks Made Of Memories

They show you a place in your head where you remember why we were never meant to be alone. And you try and act surprised.

The Pictures Aren't Pretty

All the people you see in the street, who would rather wear sunglasses than know where they're going, they get put back in the gallery at night, they get covered up for the next day. So they can think that a road is a grey river that'll take them anywhere, as long as they can float. So they can carry on. There are so few real people in this world. Thank you for being one of them.

The Parts Apart

I know you don't want it to matter right now. That's why it matters the most.

The Sun Burns Out

I do not know how it ends. Just that I miss you, right before it does.

The Wasted Words

You will forgive me, I hope you don't mind me saying, I just wanted to add, if you've got time and I've said it before and I'll say it again, because you should know, before we go any further, we should put everything on the table because the reality is and the truth is and the fact of the matter is, I shouldn't interrupt but I was wondering and if you know, please tell me, how we manage to say so much, without saying anything at all.
