I know it's been some time and I wrote about that too. I know I'll write another line, and all of them are for you. You're so pretty, oh so pretty and I don't think that you know, because you walk around this city like you have nowhere that you want to go. Do you want to stick around? We could have a drink or two. Or we could leave this yellow town; all the lights could say goodbye to you. All I want is a look my way, maybe a nod or a small smile, because I think about you all day, but I haven't written about you in a while. You're so pretty, oh so pretty and I don't think that you know, because you walk around this city

Can you hear my heart beat-beat-beating, all the way in the middle of my chest? Pretending that I'm read-read-reading, so you won't see me blush, like you're the best. 'Cause I saw you the other day; like every other when we pass. Not that I tripped in the hallway, but I may have stumbled and fell on my ass. Got me all flu-flu-flustered, you've got me all confused. Smile; my heart flu-flu-flutters, not that this is really news. Not that I'm afraid to talk to you, but maybe I am a little bit. A tiny bit scared to make eye contact, too. God, I'm so shy, I could have a fit. Can you hear my heart beat-beat-beating, all the way i

Sometimes I wonder who you think that you are? And it looks like we lost it 'cause you dropped it in your getaway car. Where is it now? On the highway to heaven, the highway to hell. I know we've got nothing left. I thought I should tell you: get out of my car. And go home. Sometimes I think about all the things that you told me when we were hanging around. When did we get so old that we couldn't get out? So, go home, and get out, let me go on my own now. You drive past, you drive fast, that's alright, I'm out of gas. On the highway to heaven, the highway to hell. I know we've got nothing left but I thought I sho

The essence of Death choked at the air, theiving much-needed oxygen from her lungs with greedy fingers. It hung there, pressed up against her, a weight on her chest that woke her with a start. Sleeping hadn't been something she did often, not a girl like her, but the River People had waited patiently. Awaking now, it was already too late. The River People were fowl, heartless creatures. They did Death's bidding -something they were terribly good at- although no one had found any reason why, aside from their satisfaction at seeing a person breathe their last breath. Their fingers were a digit too long, their eyes sunken in and their skin shoc

It's like 'where did I go wrong?' And it's like 'can we fix it this time?' It's like wishing we were right here, but knowing that you're no longer mine. But how can I explain it? My world that's crashed around me. Without you here with me it hardly seems worth it. It doesn't seem worth it, 'cause this world isn't fair. I'm sorry, but life's not fair. And it's like, what do I do without you? And it's like, "well, I should have known." It's listening to the telephone ring, because I know that you're not home. How could I be so blind? I should have seen this coming. How can I forgive me, when I breathe but you're not here anymore

I have fallen into an endless pit, sinking right into the mist. and I am fading, fading, fading away I'm crying and screaming, not breathing but no one can hear me, so loudly. Why did I think you'd stick around to save me, save me, save me from this? So, I'm going out in style, drowning, pretty homicide. Watch me go and watch me fall. Wait to wash up on the tide. Please save me, save me, save me from this emptiness. I'm going down alone, I can't find my way home. It's like I'm floating, floating, floating away. So, I'm going out in style, drowning, pretty homicide. Watch me go and watch me fall. Wait to wash up on the

In this world, so crash and burn, my head's spinning around and again and again and again and again. Just wanted to share these thoughts with you. 'Cause in the smoke, you're still standing with your lighter in hand. They stand and they stare as I fall down and my head started spinning again and again and again and again. Didn't matter, you were there with me, followed by the chaos we began. Oh, woah. Dear Catastrophe, you don't know what you're doing to me 'cause my whole world is going upside down. You're the fireworks that light my sky. Now let's run, just you and I. Everyone knows that it's meant to be, my dear Catastrophe

It's been six months since I've seen you around. You're the hero of this town. Empty streets and heavy hearts; who knew this would end before it starts? Just slow down. Your smile's like a burst of flames and all I've left is the ashes. of all the things you left behind. They're here with me tonight. It's been so long; now the world is going under. I'm sick of hearing thunder. Tearing eyes and flooded lungs; I miss the times when we were young. I'm falling over and under (over and under) And we're not strong, not when you're gone. I'm still here, standing in the rain, and I can't light these matches. Oh, all the things you

So, it's been a while since we last spoke; sinces our lives went up in smoke. It's been some time since I held your hand, been some time since this ship left land. I haven't seen you in quite some time, and it makes me so crazy, that I guess I rhyme. Didn't you know, I called you last week? I'd have left a message, but what came out was "squeak". So, it'll still take so long to say "I was wrong" but I'll see you again, although I'm not sure when. 'Cause it's been a while since I said "without you, I'm pretty sure I'd be dead." You told me you felt the exact same. But now I don't see you, and I guess that's lame. Why's is been
