Frank

If the sky were to suddenly open up, there would be no law, there would be no rule.
There would be only you and your memories.
_______

Some people are just born with tragedy in their blood.

Darko

I can only hope that the answers will come to me in my sleep.
I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief,
because there will be so much to look forward to.

Every living creature on earth dies alone.

Mon coeur

My heart stopped. It just stopped beating. And for the first time in my life, I had that feeling. You know, like the world is moving all around you, all beneath you, all inside you, and you're floating. Floating in mid air. And the only thing keeping you from drifting away is the other person's eyes. They're connected to yours by some invisible force, and they hold you fast while the rest of the world swirls and twirls and falls completely away.

Wuthering

If all else perished and he remained, I should still continue to be;
and if all else remained and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.

Vision of Division

It was 100,000 years before we figured out what to do with fire.
Humans learned how to use fire to cook 100,000 years after they discovered how to make it.
Picture cavemen, sitting in front of a fire, eating raw meat for one hundred thousand years.

Counting Crows

I am colourblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am....

Taffy stuck and tongue tied
Stutter-shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am fine

I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded
And unfolded
And unfolding
I am....

Colourblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am fine

Flaws

Taking the second plan,
Begging to understand,
Life of a selfless man.

‘Cos out of all the flaws I’ve stumbled upon;
It’s the hardest one to focus on,
It’s the hardest one to focus on.

Why are you calling up?
Isn’t one enough?
Giving up all she’s got.

Out of all the flaws I’ve stumbled upon.
It’s the hardest one to focus on.
It’s the hardest one to focus on.

Make Believe

One more down, two to go
Want you far away
You aim high, but take me slow
'Cause you know what they say

What doesn't kill me makes me strong
Or drives you far from me
I am down, please don't go
Or take me when you leave

Make a sound, a tune you know
But don't be silent now
Sing it quiet, sing it slow
And I will listen loud

What doesn't kill me writes the songs
That drive you far from me
Make a sound, let me know
Let me make believe

Azure

You know those nights when you cannot sleep?
Well maybe you're awake in someone else's dream.

The Lovely Bones

Because horror on Earth is real and it is every day.
It is like a flower or like the sun; it cannot be contained.

If

If I had but an hour of love,
If that be all that is given me,
An hour of love upon this earth,
I would give my love to thee.

Oh God,

Oh God, I am not like you
In your vacuous black,
Stars stuck all over,
Bright stupid confetti.
Eternity bores me,
I never wanted it.

Sylvia

With me, the present is forever, and forever is always shifting, flowing, melting. This second is life. And when it is gone it is dead. But you can't start over with each new second. You have to judge by what is dead. It's like quicksand... hopeless from the start.
_________

Oh how we need another soul to cling to.
_________

Love is an illusion,
But I would willingly fall for it if I could believe in it.
_________

No man can ever grasp the whole impersonal neutrality of a universe.
_________

To annihilate the world by annihilation of oneself is the deluded height of desperate egotism.
_________

Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously near to wanting nothing.
_________

If you expect nothing from somebody, you are never disappointed.
_________

And who am I, oh God-that-I-don't-believe-in ?

Believe.

Beliefs are dangerous.
Beliefs allow the mind to stop functioning.
A non-functioning mind is clinically dead.
Believe in nothing.

Crainte

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond all measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

Curious

And then there will be nothing to stop us seeing all the stars in the world, because they will all be moving towards us, gradually faster and faster, and we will know that the world is going to end soon because when we look up into the sky at night there will be no darkness. Just the blazing light of billions and billions of stars.

All falling.

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face, the kind you'd find on someone that could save. If they don't put me away... well it'll be a miracle. Do you believe you're missing out? That everything good is happening somewhere else? But with nobody in your bed, the night's hard to get through. And I will die all alone. And when I arrive, I won't know anyone.

Jesus Christ, I'm alone again. So what did you do those three days you were dead? 'Cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend.

Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die, I'm a little bit scared of what comes after. Do I get the gold chariot, or do I float through the ceiling? Do I divide, and pull apart. 'Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark. And this ship went down in sight of land, and at the gates, does Thomas ask to see my hands?
