β Iβm hearinβ voices in my head. β
β Iβve got a burning in my heart, itβs tearing me apart. β
β I think Iβm losinβ my mind now. β
β I take and donβt know how to give. β
β You know I never mean well, I canβt help but help myself. β
β The mirror shows somebody else. β
β Weβre in a special kind of hell. β
β Any day I think Iβm gonna break now. β
β Learning how to sink before I take the dive to swim. β
β A map that only shows me where I am, not where Iβve been. β
β Having trouble findinβ a way out. β
β They donβt take you very far. β
ππππππππππ.
β Day and night, my mind is running. β
β Reaching outΒ βcause I want something more that Iβve never had before. β
β Iβm scared to chase what Iβve been dreaming. β
β Push me by surprise, so I can take the dive. β
β My god, Iβm the bait and the predatorβs my mind. β
β It eats at me all the time. β
β Can we stop and rewind? β
β Whenβd I become my own enemy? β
β I donβt understand what you see in me, βcause Iβm just another story thatβs not worth reading. β
β Why arenβt you afraid that Iβll take a fall? β
β In this world of white noise, youβre my favourite sound. β
β Thereβs more that came before me. β
ππππ ππππ ππππππ ππ ππππππ πππ ππππ.
β Iβm down but you know Iβm not out, Iβve got another round. β
β Canβt break me, Iβm not givinβ up. β
β I gotta prove them wrong. β
β Take your timeΒ βcause Iβm not taking mine. β
β Voice in my head said to keep going on. β
β Donβt letΒ βem see you bleed, donβt want your weakness showing. β
β If you could just believe me. β
β Tell me itβll all be fine, thatβs a lie. β
β Need you to see me and know what itβs like to be me. β
β My whole world was crumbling down but Iβll still mend. β
β What doesnβt kill youβs bound to come back for another. β
β Iβve found a way to tame my own monster inside. β
ππ πππ ππππ ππ
πππ πππππ.
β The saturation fades and turns to grey, itβs overcast with envy. β
β So follow me to the ends of the earth. β
β Now take a minute and revel in it. β
β See how much youβre worth. β
β Iβll fight and defend, Iβll see this out till the end. β
β Iβll see this out till the end. β
β Iβm making room for something. β
β Iβll build it up out of nothing. β
β I feel it giving beneath my weight. β
β But Iβll survive the fight so stay by my side. β
β Weβll own the night and the sun will still rise. β
β The rain starts to cease and I can see clearly. β
ππππππ πππππ πππ.Β
β Pull all the stops, I got a way that we can get in. β
β Just say the word, Iβll kick it up to eleven. β
β Donβt break it up, break it down. β
β Weβll kill the night and weβll never see the sun. β
β And Iβll call the sorts, donβt you tell me when Iβm done. β
β Wonβt you meet me in the middle? β
β Donβt need to show no mercy. β
β Now listen up, Iβm gonna give you a rundown. β
β This life was meant for me. β
β Step to the plate, you gotta show me what you got. β
β βcause heroes never die. β
β Live it up, this life is amazing. β
ππππ
πππ ππ ππππππ.
β Iβm running out of time. β
β Iβm tired of everything that I called mine. β
β Iβm sick of trying to find a word that works. β
β A million strangers walking past and stare. β
β I swear Iβm running fast but go nowhere. β
β Iβll wake you up and let you know itβs done. β
β You can hide but you know you canβt run. β
β Time and time again we fall in line. β
β Everything is perfect by design. β
β Patiently awaiting something new.Β β
β Something that wonβt remind me of you. β
β Open up the door, Iβm leaving soon. β
πβπ ππππ ππ πππππ ππ ππ πππ.
β Directions leads you to who knows where. β
β Say youβre doing fine but no one asked and nobody cares. β
β Hear all the outcries but no one will lend a hand. β
β Theyβre setting up and youβre the punchline. β
β Youβre on your own, such a damn shame. β
β Iβd have to break it to you, youβre all alone. β
β You oughta just stay quiet. You canβt do that, can you? β
β Parading around like you own the place. β
β Give it time, weβll all forget your face. β
β No oneβs ever coming for you. β
β Staring at the sky, you dream to one day become that star. β
β The journeyβs do or die but youβre not willing to go that far. β
β Youβre on the decline and now youβre falling way too fast. β
πππ π πππ.
β And itβs so typical of me to be so cynical of you. β
β I just keep runningΒ βround in circles. β
β And I donβt know why but Iβm mesmerized by your broken eyes. β
β But I canβt complain when I go insane as I call your name. β
β And all I see is you next to me, a ghost of you tangled up in my sheets. β
β I know Iβll drown yet Iβm begging for more. β
β I could wear this heart out on my sleeve. β
β You could break my bones and watch me bleed, I would do it all again. β
β I can hear it in the way you speak. β
β And thatβs what I want, not what I need. β
β A shadow of you thatβs been haunting my dreams. β
β Itβs on the tip of my tongue and wonβt leave my mouth. β
ππππππππππ ππππππππ.
β Am I a monster or worse, just a man? β
β In the end, weβre all the same. β
β To the grave, we only take our name. β
β Thereβs an ocean made of dreams but the current strands you out at sea. β
β I wake up to find the passing of time made my mirror show someone I donβt know. β
β But all kingdoms drown as tides bring them down. β
β The subjects stay loyal but donβt wait their turn. β
β Now blindly they follow their king to the fray. β
β In the end, weβre bound to change. β
β Weβre made for more than all of these numbers and names. β
β We could all go down in flames. β
β Maybe one day youβll find humanity. β
β Until then donβt you dare say that we are the same. β
ππ πππ πππππππ.
β She found a way out of this place, itβs a permanent escape. β
β And all the while you had your say. β
β You ventured off, no turning back, youβve gone astray. β
β Donβt look before you take a fall. β
β Who knows when you could lose it all. β
β Youβre just a kid who lost their own way. β
β Youβre not a shadow, you wonβt fade. β
β Youβve got to stand and defend, theyβll push but you can never bend. β
β You got a shot so donβt be a fool. β
β I see your doubt about your route, donβt give it up. β
β Ignite the spark, illuminate the dark and light your way. β
β You pray and hope for better days. β

The thing I would be most heartbroken to lose if tumblr were the close are gifsets. Nothing recommends a show to me better than a gifset. Nothing lets me appreciate a show like a gifset. The minute facial expressions, the colouring, the set design, the dialogue, the gif maker's own twists and artistic additions, I love it all so much and you just can't get it anywhere else.
