For my dad and brother:
"Don't say that you know me, you never knew the first thing at all..I refuse to fit into this lame idea that you've always had for me, I don't want to be what you want me to be"
--Sensefield- I Refuse
"I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see.. I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be.. let me go, let me take back my life, I'd rather be all alone, anywhere on my own..this isn't what I wanted to be.."
--Linkin Park- Lying From You
"Afraid to say what was on my mind, afraid to say what I need to say, too many things that you've said about me when I'm not around... but I've had too many stand-offs with you, it's about as much as I can stand...so many people like me walk on eggshells all day long, all I know is that all I want is to feel like I'm not stepped on, there are so many things you say that make me feel like you've crossed the line..."
--Linkin Park- Hit the Floor
"I'm tired of being what you want me to be, feeling so faithless, lost under the surface, I don't know what your expecting of me, put under the pressure, of walking in your shoes.. every step that I take is another mistake to you.. can't you see that you're smothering me, holding too tightly, afraid to lose control, cuz everything that you thought I would be has fallen apart right in front of you...I may end up failing too, but I know, you were just like me with someone disappointed in you..."
--Linkin Park- Numb
For my friends:
"If I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again, if I fall back down, you're gonna be my friend..."
--Rancid- Fall Back Down
"I'll be here cuz you're all that I've got"
--Linkin Park- Faint
For me:
"I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream, I don't know why I instigate, and say what I don't mean, I don't know how I got this way, I know it's not alright..."
--Linkin Park- Breaking the Habit
"Don't know who to trues.. everyone feels so far away from me.. trying not to break but i'm so tired of this deceit, every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet.. I take everything from the inside and throw it all away.. heavy thoughts forcing their way out of me..."
--Linkin Park- From the Inside
And thus I rid myself of this ridiculous phase..
