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

Should we be worried?
For the world that we live in?
The way that we "survive"
Is it the way that we sin?
I'm not being religious,
just a little realistic.
Is it wrong to be happy
when others are sad?
Logic says that truth hurts.
Verity agrees and honesty obeys.
In the end, we are all
Searching for a cure.
The pain is relevant,
but the poison is pure.
