A Growing Stand

Quote:

'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you 

for you

~Imagine Dragons - Bleeding Out [Night Visions]

Month Arc:

Fighting Wrath

I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed just to get it all out what's in my head...

Why waste a second when we're all running out of time...

More than a drop in the sea, because I hope you'll believe the pieces of me...

I'll accept and I'll deal with the work and the strife 'cuz I guess that's just my slice of life...

It's hopeless; I'm a part of you, don't fret when you see the fire in your eyes...

I have written you down, now you will live forever...

One face regret, the other pain, two eyes in my past stare with shame...

Hatred, bloodlust, they're all irrelevant to the moment when my jaws close down on you...

Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh, don't ya know everyone wants to laugh...

When you're without me, it'll be easy to share, and if you need me, you can pretend I'm there...

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, honor to glory, and iron to rust...

I'm here to take back control of my mind, because I'm running out of time...

I'm still looking for the truth, still hoping to find you...

We are all in this fight, though the night may be dark, a new day brings new light...

So I bare my skin and I count my sins and I close my eyes and I take it in...

But this is the moment, it's time you know it, I'm gonna make you my enemy...

Quote:

The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.

Stay strong, your life's worth more than you know.

Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?

For those old honky tonk monkeyshines"

Now you could study Shakespeare and be quite elite
And you can charm the critics and have nothin' to eat
Just slip on a banana peel
The world's at your feet
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh!

So let's break this maze of mirrors down, down, down

The War In My Heart

In your head, there's a criminal out on the loose...

If it means I could fall, to conquer it all, I believe I'm something...

I've had just about enough of quote "diamonds in the rough..."

It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide...

Now I'm just a ghost, a shell of what I should be...

I know it's not you, but I still feel the touch of your hands even if they're not real...

What happens now... will I come around...

You're a wolf beneath this woven sheath, I'm the one you can't deceive...

But I could never fall apart, I'm stronger with a broken heart...

We all are living in a dream, but life ain't what it seems; oh, everything's a mess...

There's a hole in my soul, I can't fill it, I can't fill it...

It's written in the stars above, so don't give up on what you love...

Maybe I'm alive, in a whole new way
I won't carry the burdens of yesterday...

Caught in this nightmare, dreams turn to thin air...
When you find yourself at the crossroads, just don't lose hope...

Personal Quote: 

Not caring isn't any better [than caring]. If you're hurt when you care, you're only caring about the wrong things and the wrong people. Continue caring about what will care for you back, even if it seems like there's a minimal amount of that. It's worth it if you care. If you don't care... if you're apathetic, you deserve apathy back as well as shame. If you care, if you love, you deserve that care and love back.

Leaving all these scars
Haunting me with past memories

Torn apart, torn apart

And then I shot, shot, shot a hole

Through everything that I loved

One night with the demons inside

The chains and burdens that I hold

I know that you held on

For as long as you could

I break, skin and bone

Aren't strong enough to keep me

All that I hope, is it just smoke and mirrors?
I want to believe

A monster, a monster, I've turned into a monster

A monster, a monster, and it keeps getting stronger
