You can be so heartless
I can be heartless too
We can wound each other
Isn't that what people do ?

How can we betray when there's nothing to betray
We can throw it all away
If there's nothing there anyway
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing

Quasi - You Fucked Yourself

You fucked yourself
And you don't know where to go
Split wide open like a sturgeon for the roe
Blood was splashed on pure white snow

You fucked yourself
And youre looking for the go
Drown in your sink
Condemned if you float
You placed the blame but missed the boat

You fucked yourself
You chose your fate
You changed your mind
When it's too late
Your self-deceit, your worst mistake

Will Johnson - Just to Know What You've Been Dreaming

I would walk a thousand miles, just to know what you've been dreaming.
And i steal a thousand smiles, just to know that you've been laughing.
But when you're not around you know nothing makes a sound.


And i would tell a thousand tales, just to know what you've been thinking 
And i would swim the seven seas, just to crawl along your beaches.
But when you're not around, you know nothing makes a sound, and the silence will be drowned drowned.


But when you're not around, you know nothing makes a sound, and the silence will be drowned drowned drowned.

I wish that I had known in

And you hired me 
To make up for that

and the monitors beeped the last time.
