And after all of this I am amazed that I am cursed far more than I am praised. -"Silver Wings," Thrice
Don't climb for a lifetime only to fall short of infinity . . . With faith, some minds are sand, but I prefer concrete. -"Gimme Half," The Devil Wears Prada
Rhetoric can't raise the dead. I'm sick of always talking when there's no change. -"Artist in the Ambulance," Thrice
Good God, if your song leaves our lips, if your book leaves our hands, then we will be wanderers and vagabonds. They will stare and see how empty we are. How the freedom we had turned us up as dead men. Let us be cold, make us weak. Let us because we all have ears. Let us because we all have eyes. Good God. . . . Can you still get us home? . . . How can we still get home? -"Too Bright To See Too Loud To Hear," Underoath
This is me praying that this was the very first page not where the story line ends. My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again. These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon: 'I was enchanted to meet you'. -"Enchanted," Taylor Swift
Throw caution and myself into the winds . . . There's no promise of safety with these secondhand wings, but I'm willing to find out what impossible means. I'll climb through the heavens on feathers and dreams cause the melting point of wax means nothing to me. . . How will I know limits from lies if I never try? -"The Melting Point of Wax," Thrice
Too many things I haven't done yet, too many sunsets I haven't seen. I can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down, you would have thought by now I would have learned something. I made up my mind when I was a young girl, I've been given this one world, I won't worry it away. Now and again I lose sight of the good life, I get stuck in a low life, then love comes in. . . . I do what I can wherever I end up to keep giving my good love and spreading it around. I've had my fair share of 'take-care' and 'good-byes.' I've learned how to cry and I'm better for that. -"Many The Miles," Sara Bareilles
Come what may, I won't abandon you, I won't leave you behind because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment. -"The Weight," Thrice
All my sufferings lie in momentary pain, while the weight of an endless glory still remains. So throw the switch, son, I know you ain't got a choice. The dawn is coming, all is well, I will rejoice. -"Wood & Wire," Thrice
I feel that I was meant for something more, My curse, this awful power to unmake. And every since you found your taste for war, You forced me onto those whose life you'd take. While Guernica in peaceful valley lay, And Dresden dreamed of anything but death. The Day was turned to night and night to day, You let me loose upon their fragile flesh. And so I hid among the smaller things, You found me there and ferried me above. The flame deluge is waiting in the wings, The smallest thread holds back the second flood. And who will stand to greet the blinding light? It's lonely when there's no one left to fight. -"The Flame Deluge," Thrice
