- “Rows of houses sound asleep. Only street lights notice me.”
- “No one can unring this bell, unsound this alarm, unbreak my heart new. God knows, I am dissonance, waiting to be swiftly pulled into tune.”
- “And somehow i’ve fallen in love with this middle ground at the cost of my soul.”
- “If brokenness is a work of art, surely this must be my masterpiece.”
- “I’m only honest when it rains. An open book with a torn out page, and my ink’s run out.”
- “These wild oceans shake what’s left of me loose just to hear me cry mercy. A string wind at my back, so I lift up the only sail that I have: this tired white flag.”
- “Now i live a waking life of looking backwards, looking backwards; A model citizen of doubt.”
- “I wake up more awake than i’ve ever been before
. Still, i’m pinned under the weight of what i believed would keep me safe.”
- “The heaviness that i hold in my heart belongs to gravity. The heaviness that i hold in my heart’s been crushing me.”
- “So show me where my armor ends, show me where my skin begins.”
- “The years wore on and changed my heart. The leading role for a smaller part; now I bear little resemblance to the king I once was.”
- “Maybe paper is paper, maybe kids will be kids. But Lord, I want to remember how to feel like i did.”
- “God knows I’ve tried, always looking up til my eyes give up. That’s how I lost touch
of who I am and who I was.”
- “So you memorized those unscripted lines, desperate for some kind of clue: when the scale tipped, when you inherited a fight that you were born to lose.”
- “A million choices, though little on their own, became the heirloom of the heaviness we’ve known.”
- “We study our story arcs: inherently good or were we broken right from the start?”
- “I don't expect you to understand, just to live what little life your broken heart can.”
