Wow. I have lots of fav lyrics/lines.

"I can tell it's your turn, I smell the sulfur so clear
and fire's a beautiful sound
and the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear
and ashes just fall to the ground
yeah we're only ashes"
SOCO- Only Ashes

" 'Smile for the camera sweet heart, I really want to immortalize this
moment' but just remember the first step in forgetting is destroying all the
evidence. With friends like you who needs subtext? This is a 44. caliber love letter straight from my heart"
Alexisonfire - 44. Caliber Love Letter

"Shallow like your breath you hold while you're under these lights that bury you.
We claw and mark like animals, they show the scars we hide too well.
Notice you're awake dreaming while you walk.
Halls we create are closing in on us.
You're tired so let's turn the lights out. You're tired so let's shut it off.
It's time to count all the victims that were caught in our last explosion.
We are the couple called suicide"
Elliott- Shallow Like Your Breath

"I wake up and think dreams are real
I sleep so I don't have to feel
the truth that you can never be
the one person that won't ever forget me"
Armor For Sleep- Dream To Make Believe

"Walk away from me this night is done"
Emery- The Ponytail Parades

"And I punch the walls. Do you care at all?
Those days were forever ours.
Your forgotten lies.
They stood the test of time
So I take this opportunity, to tell you
What you don’t mean to me.
You grievances have left me standing still
Under a dark grey sky, we've come undone.
And you've lost it all.
You think you’re so beautiful. Says who?"
Athornforeveryheart- Rain On Her Parade

"I’m not sold on anything but half a dream
I’m not sensing a thing
I see a blank notebook page
and it’s my life and
there is nothing I can think to write"
Saosin- They Perch On Their Stilts And Dare Me To Break Custom

"Empty another bottle
and let me tear you to pieces
this is me wishing you
into the worst situations
I'm the kind of kid
that can't let anything go
but you wouldn't know a good thing
if it came up and slit your throat"
Fall Out Boy- My Heart Is The Worst Kind Of Weapon

I have to post up all the lyrics to this song. Posted for sheer brilliance.

"lets pretend we're not needy
lets pretend our hearts still beat
lets pretend we fall in love tonight
clumsy enough to fall for anything
we'll stumble on our words
we'll spill our guts on creaking bar stools
below the neon blue
low lives hiding in dives there's no feeling in drinking sleeping with strangers
ghosts passing through bedrooms unaware
a faint reflection on the barbacks mirror
a face I never knew whispering,
'please dont be a stranger to me. who are you if you're alone?'
you're no good at pretending
all my plays have tragic endings
you wish I was a fairy tale
this frog will never change anything
just pretend that you're in love
that scolding sun is bound to come up eventually
so who is it that whispers in your ear?
a haunting voice blows in through the window
there's no feeling floating over beds
a needy pleading apparition
crying,
'who am I if im alone?
I hardly exist at all.
let's pretend that we dont need anything anymore from anyone.
I don't want to feel anything anymore let's just pretend'

we'll live happily ever after"

Ok. I there's tons more... but I think I should stop now =]
Oh also... I think the lyrics to Bright Eyes- Lover I Don't Have To Love are quite spiffy aswell <3

Where's the kid with the chemicals?
I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full. I need some meaning I can memorise.
The kind I have always seems to slip my mind. But you, but you... you write such pretty words.
But life's no story book. Love is an excuse to get hurt and to hurt <333
