I drink to stay warm, and to kill selected memories
i keep drinking the ink from my pen and i'm balancing history books up on my head but it all boils down to one quotable phrase if you love something give it away
I'll start drinking like the way I drank before. And I just won't have a future anymore.
I keep drinking the ink from my pen, and I'm balancing history books up on my head, but it all boils down to one quotable frase; if you love something, give it away!
I scream, but I still don't know why I do it. The sound never stays; it just swells and decays. So what is the point?
Well, winter's gonna endI'm gonna clean these veins againSo close to dying that I finally can start living
Well, winter's gonna end I'm gonna clean these veins again So close to dying that I finally can start living
When everything is lonely I can be my best friend.
I'm happy just because I found out I am really no one

People resist change; if they like something, then they want you to keep doing it over and over - but I think if you like what a particular band or artist does, then you should want to see what they're going to do next.
