"From childhood's hour I have not been
      As others were; I have not seen
      As others saw; I could not bring
      My passions from a common spring.
      From the same source I have not taken
      My sorrow; I could not awaken
      My heart to joy at the same tone;
      And all I loved, I loved alone.
      Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
      Of a most stormy life- was drawn
      From every depth of good and ill
      The mystery which binds me still:
      From the torrent, or the fountain,
      From the red cliff of the mountain,
      From the sun that round me rolled
      In its autumn tint of gold,
      From the lightning in the sky
      As it passed me flying by,
      From the thunder and the storm,
      And the cloud that took the form
      (When the rest of Heaven was blue)
      Of a demon in my view."

-Edgar Allen Poe, 'Alone'

head moving faster than my body
taking all the strength in the world not to scream
counting to keep my breathing even
don't panic don't panic don't panic don't panic don't panic

"I'm holding out and I'm holding on
to every letter and every song.
I pulled myself out of the day we ever had to meet.
Are you through with me?

So..

And when it all goes to hell,
will you be able to tell
me you're sorry with a straight face.

Let's Go!

I'm all ears and I'm all scars
to hear you tell me "Boy's like you, you try too hard
to look not quite as desperate". I'm hanging on.
But I still know the way to make your makeup run.

So..

And when it all goes to hell,
will you be able to tell
me you're sorry with a straight face.

And when it all goes to hell, (Take this to your grave)
will you be able to tell
me you're sorry with a straight face. (I'll take it to mine)

And when it all goes to hell
And when it all goes."

-Fall Out Boy, "The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes"

you are not the sum of your mistakes, but the beautiful result of every success you ever had.

I want to do nothing but dream tonight.
I miss remembering what dreams were made of.

sometimes i am so tired i can barely open my eyes
i've been dreaming you up all day long
tossing and turning with sleep as my enemy
sometimes i get so tired i can barely keep it up
