[krempuff]

Doors that would not take you in
Outcast and a stranger
You have come by way of sorrow you have come by way of tears
But you'll reach your destiny meant to find you all these years
Meant to find you all these years

Grantaire

[humanresource]

I am trouble.
And I am troubled too.
My name is Tristan.
And I am alive.

Sorrow by name.
And sorrow by nature.
Working for joy.
On overtime.

Stuck on a line.
Of misadventure.
I fear no crime.

Blue Sargent

[incognoscibilis]

One day you see a strange little girl look at you
One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
She'd run to the town one day
Leaving home and the country fair

[iwasmore]

You can paint me any color
And I can be your clown
But you ain't got my number
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down

Now I got your back up
What do you not like
Do you think I'm stuck-up
'Cause I'm always picking fights
You might think I'm one thing,
But I am another
You can't call my bluff
Time to back off, motherfucker

[jeongbro]

It's these little things, they can pull you under
Live your life filled with joy and wonder
I always knew this altogether thunder
Was lost in our little lives

Oh, but sweetness follows

Richard Gansey III

[incognoscibilis]

The day our house collapsed
I went down stream
I followed the swans
Like I follow my dreams

Oh, I was living on borrowed time in a
Borrowed house for a borrowed crime
In need of help I came to your door
Saw the spike of the railings from the 28/3rd floor
Singing, "Build your castle, stop collecting stones
And the river bed shall not be your home"

To the lighthouse my friend
I bless your words and education
To the lighthouse my friend
Just go, just go

[formicine]

A couple for Gansey, from Blue:

His voice on tape, his name on the envelope,
the soft sound of a body falling off a bridge
behind you, the body hardly even makes
a sound. The waters of the dead, a clear road,
every lover in the form of stars, the road
blocked. All night I stretched my arms across
him, rivers of blood, the dark woods, singing
with all my skin and bone Please keep him safe.

and

Feels like reckless driving when we're talking
It's fun while it lasts, and it's faster than walking
But no one's going to sympathize when we crash
They'll say "you hit what you head for, you get what you ask"
And we'll say we didn't know, we didn't even try
One minute there was road beneath us, the next just sky

[thedreamthief]

You get to feel so guilty
Got so much for so little
The you find that feeling just won't go away.
You're holding on to every little thing so tightly
Till there's nothing left for you anyway.

Goodbye, you can keep this suit of lights
I'll be up with the sun

[iwasmore]

Ten silver spoons coming after me,
One life with one dream on repeat.
I'll escape if I try hard enough,
'Til King of the Jungle calls my bluff

Oh Lord (Oh Lord)
I have been told (I have been told)
That I must take the unforsaken road (forsaken road)
There's a fork in the road
I'll do as I am told
And I don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know
Who-oo-oo-oo-ooo I want to be

[deflectere]

Your smart enough to make your mistakes
And act like you want'em
Walk off the residual pain
And forget how you got it
Nice guys finish last anyway
And that's just the problem

[ahollowman]

Tony Stank

[nothingmorehorrifying]

You've been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside, you're just a little baby, oh.
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated than loved, loved, loved for what you're not

You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable
You are not a robot
You're lovable, so lovable
But you're just troubled

You've been hanging with the unloved kids
Who you never really liked and you never trusted
But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
Never committing to anything
You don't pick up the phone when it ring-ring-rings

Party Poison

[mitsubishievo]

You don't know what I've done, I'm wanted and on the run.
I'm wanted and on the run.
So I'm taking this moment to live in the future

Release me from the present,
I'm obsessing all these questions,
Why I'm in denial that they tried the suicidal session,
Please use discretion when you're messing with the message, man,
These lyrics aren't for everyone, only few understand.

Gannicus

[krempuff]

This sky of grey, its full of gold
Can feel your heart and feel your soul
I'll drink it up and take it slow I don't need anything else

Tell me where I'm heading,
Tell me that I can be there soon
Somewhere I forgotten, I'll die a little more for you
When everything is broken
There's a piece I never use
I keep finding reasons to die a little more for you

[shok_ebasit_hissra]

the Iron Bull

[krempuff]

Was it whispered right into the bones of your ears
Did you hear what you wanted to hear
Did they take you and make you believe it was clear
When they made you commander and you couldn't be it?

Magnus Bane

[deflectere]

This one came from looking
This one opened twice
These two seem as smooth as silk, flush against my eyes
This one needed stitches and
This one came from rings
This one isn't even there, but I feel it more because you don't care

Yeah, cut right into me
Yeah, yes I am Made Of Scars
Yes, I am made of scars

This one had it coming
This one found a vein
This one was an accident, but never gave me pain
This one was my fathers and
This one you can't see
This one had me scared to death,
But I guess I should be glad I'm not dead

Hild

[krempuff]

Why am I walking barefoot
Upon this road with no one around
I close my eyes to this decision
The night's like coffee to my tongue
Like waking up without a sound
I map the words out
Maybe you will say them

Won't you help me rise up
Touch my face and watch me try to breathe again
Would you let me do this
Burn down the final wall

Overcome me, baby
