I am an ocean. I am the sea. There is a world inside of me. ~ Bring Me the Horizon<br /> We&#039;re young and in love. The heart attacks are waiting to happen. Come a little closer. Tell me those three little words. ~Bring Me The Horizon

Will I ever find myself?
Will I ever not be left behind?
Forgotten through all these
"faithful faces".
I'm trying to capture my tide. My sign.
I can't find it. Have I been left behind once more?
This can't be. This is not the end of me.
I still have a mind.
I still have a life.
I still have a soul.
Have you gone?
You have left me alone.
