Favorite Quote:
cause you only live forever in the lights you make
when we were young, we used to say
that you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
now we are the kids from yesterday
~ my chemical romance

holing out like a vice,

sinning every chance it's given.

fate gave us another chance.

one that was merely a test.

sometimes we're better off strangers.
