paramore - 'we are broken'
I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me
Yeah
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole
Lock the doors
Cause I'd like to capture this voice
it came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war
We live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole
Tower over me
Tower over me
And I'll take the truth at any cost
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

i'm sick of this mixture, rare moments of burning desire too quickly overshadowed by crippling apathy.
i want to rip open my rib cage and b l e e d it all out.
God, God, GOD.
please look at me.
LOOK.
AT.
ME!
please.
please hear me screaming.
please scoop me up like You used to.
please, please, please.
i'm holding up my hands -
they're clamped together, useless, by chains of my own making.
i'm sick of this.
SICK OF MYSELF.
SICK OF MY OWN HEAD AND HEART.
SICK!
sick to the point of wanting my guts to spill.
i've been in this same water so long;
it's stagnant with my dead skin cells,
my carbon dioxide,
my blood.
my wasted dreams and unused talents that You gave me so long ago.
were they always Yours?
was it so long ago?
has it really been this long?
where am i?
who am i?
hello?
hello...?
is this thing on?
