How Deep Is Your Love; The Rapture

You can't tell me what I can and cannot do.

Inter-dependent Variables

Sharp Leaves; Brothers In Law

You strung her along and told her things she easily believed. You were always a sweet-talker, she thought love was conceived. You let her believe that everything was real, from the moment you sang to her until the time she could no longer heal. It is taking her forever to realize how much it was not worth it, breathing in, breathing out, what was lost, she couldn't find it. You've stolen something from her, something you can never give back. This is how you repay her kindness, you left her broken with a crack. Shame, something you should feel. But instead you're proud that you treated her like a conquest, as if with your friends, you made a deal.

You must not allow yourself to be treated like a plaything.

You Underestimate Me

Youth; Simian Ghost

I never thought I'd be given the chance to do something this big. I've always wanted to be in charge of something potentially huge. I've always wanted to lead and be able to ignite and spark people's passion to do something that is of greater good. I finally got what I wanted. But instead of feeling excited about it, I let tears and fears get the best of me. Self-doubt. There's a huge difference between wanting something and actually doing it when you're finally given the chance. But beyond feeling agitated, nothing compares to the good feeling when higher authority recognizes and acknowledges your capabilities and believes that you can deliver.

Bloody Burden and Blunders

Passage; Exitmusic

We carry our own crosses and I can see how terribly hunched your back is from all the weight burdened on your shoulders with no sign of help from anybody within proximity. You look so helpless in the corner, positioned like a fetus. I can see right through you and all the pain you try to hide. You're looking for someone who can understand you and listen to all the things you have to say but you have to take the initiative to say something, anything, even a little quip. I can only try hard enough and do so much because I can never fully let go of the terrible emotions you let me feel despite how much you've changed through the years.
