The Hangout Thread, Tildes, and Italics

[Raven_the_Bird]

It's the rawest of emotions
Drinking to forget - names written in the snow
It's the anxious feel - purging your last meal
It's the secret that you can't know

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

And we tried to change
The city noise made us strange
So we plugged our ears and learned to fight
We set the stage but we could not engage so we cut all ties by candlelight

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Change, change, change.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us
Ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But you're a little on the straight side
I can't lie

Your one vice
Is you're too nice
Come around now can't you see

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Knock me out!

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

There's always someone on the train with me
That wants to talk about everything when I just want to fall asleep
The train is late for the third time this week
And everyday it's raining around 9:15

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I'm your Opheliac
I've been so disillusioned
I know you'd take me back
But still I feigned confusion
I couldn't be your friend
My world was too unstable
You might have seen the end

But you were never able
To keep me breathing
As the water rises up again
Before I slip away

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

You know the games I play
And the words I say
When I want my own way
You know the lies I tell
When you've gone through hell
And I say I can't stay
You know how hard it can be
To keep believing in me
When everything and everyone
Becomes my enemy and when
There's nothing more you can do
I'm gonna blame it on you
It's not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
It's the Opheliac in me
It's the Opheliac in me

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I'm your Opheliac
My stocking prove my virtues
I'm open to attack
But I don't want to hurt you
Whether I swim or sink
That's no concern of yours now
How could you possibly think

You had the power to know how
To keep me breathing
As the water rises up again
Before I slip away

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Studies Show...
Intelligent girls are more depressed
Because they know
What the world is really like
Don't think for a beat it makes it better
When you sit her down and tell her
Everything's gonna all right
She knows in society she either is
A devil or an angel with no in between
She speaks in third person
So she can forget that she's me

Doubt thou the stars are fire
Doubt thou the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt

Doubt thou the stars are fire
Doubt thou the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt

Doubt thou the stars are fire
Doubt thou the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt I love

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Don't look at me that way.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

It was an honest mistake...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Breathe me in
I am the ghost of better past lingering deep down
South of here
Where we know his face
But not the name of a brother drowned in his last years
Have you been skipping stones across the lake ablaze
For your own damn sake
Open wide
It's this taste we've all been tasting in our tongues and in our minds

And take that head of yours and stick it through the clouds
You've been buried underneath our world
With all your selfish doubt

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Feel the heat dripping from our dirty tongues
Gathering flames now
Just last year we felt the hell of a sneaky spark
Let it burn us to the ground
There's a hole in all there is to see in these waking days
And it's all fake
Open wide
The taste we've all been tasting in our tongues and in our minds

And take that head of yours and stick it through the clouds
You've been buried underneath our world
With all your selfish doubt
By the time you turn the clocks all back
You'll be covered in all the leaves
It's a shame you didn't look around
Oh, all the things you'd see

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Defeat the low.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Hold on to the world we all remember fighting for
There's still strength left in us yet
Hold on to the world we all remember dying for
There's still hope left in it yet

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Sing to me about the end of the world
End of these hammers and needles for you
We'll cry tonight
And in the morning we are new
Stand in the sun
We'll dry your eyes

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

The world outside not what it seems...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

You make my teeth clinch and my hands shake
Do you ever see what you do to me?
You're wearing me out, just wearing me out
But I'm wearing you down
