• play nice. 
• you’re not good enough for her. 
• you ally yourself with people you think are special. but that doesn’t make you special. and i think you know that. 
• here’s the thing: everybody gets angry. there is no pill that will eradicate this particular emotion. i know this because if there were such a pill, i would be popping those babies like pez.

• he picked up a chair and he threw it out of the window because somebody missed a deadline. and no, he didn’t open the window first.

• you saved my life. 
• you let that thing get away- i thought you were on our side.

• be careful, you might cut yourself. 
• i’m bleeding.

i hear it echoing of every place that we’ve called our home, and i don’t talk of any time i ever believed in the unknown. i need it, so i hold on to every mistake that i made alone, and i don’t lie when i say that we will never return to closing doors. sleep tight in a new light through another warning call, look down on the cold ground; i will try to break the fall.
