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

I gasp for air even though I can breathe.
Spiders are crawling right under my skin.
For no reason, I let my anger seethe.
Then, my legs move to where the ice is thin.
If no one is perfect, why is there sin?
My lungs fill with acid when hit with waves.
My life is a race, I will never win.
Time is spent from climbing up out of caves.
I leave the ice and praise the road that paves.
I stand on the sky and look at the ground.
The sun laughs, then, kills the people he saved.
My mind is spinning from every loud sound.
This must be fake or real, or it all seems.
I finally wake, all these verses were dreams.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
