“Dylan -People luk at me and wok akros the streetSo tired of the suspishus eyesOn all the faces that i meetAnd tell me, if i tryTo be a diferent guy,Will you be the girlTo rearrange my wirld?You take me up,You take me down,Take me to the sky,Take me to the ground,I'd go anywhereIf you would only take me there.”

“People look at me and say I've got it all,But when you're standing at the top you've gotA log, long way yo fallAnd tell me if i doCan i depend on you?Will you be the manWho will catch me if you can?'Cause I'm fallin' hardI'm fallin' fastAnd i gotta knowIf it's gonna last.You're the one i needTo teach me to believe”

“I don't want to even think about what kind of creatures could be lurking out there in the dark in the middle of the sticks. Probably the same ones lurking around during the day, but I've learned that dangerous things like to wait till night to surface, when you can't see the coming.”

“Let me love you, girl who came from the sea. Let us swim to the bottom of the ocean where we can be anything and where no one can find us. We will grow gills and breathe salt water. We will sprout fins and scales and make our home in underground caves. Or else will drown there. But either way, i will be happy”

“WORDSI carry a messagethat i cannot read.The words may be hauntingor tender or sweet.Thought what it saysI do not know,I still carry it with me,wherever i go.”

“TIMETimegoes round and roundthe spinning clock,until the fateful daytimefolds it's tired handsand stops.”

“I ran out of the darkened bar into the glaring daylight. it was so bright it took a full minute for my eyes to adjust before i could make out where I'd left my car. Light is funny that way. Too much of it can blind you”

“Dylan - "A mermaid found a swimming ladPicked him for her ownPresses her body to his bodyLaughed; and plunging down,Forgot in cruel happinessThat even lovers drown."Jess - "I thought mermaids were supposed to SAVE men."Dylan - "They are, but sometimes a guy doesn't mind drowning.”

“BoxesWe built walls of cardboardthinking they would keep us safe.And they did.Until the flamescame.”

“they say money changes you. it isn't true. it changes everybody around you.”

“It was then that i understood what i had to do. i had to find a way to warn you.They have built a house of steel, and they are waiting.”

“How badly i needed to see what was in my head o the page. even if i could barely read it.”

“Don't be afraid to say how you feel, Dylan. Holding things inside is what gets people in trouble.”

“I Know a girl with sea green eyes. She melts the sun, swallows the sky then breathes out stars to kiss the night so guys like me will have some light, she doesn't know the things I've dome. but if a girl like that could love me, i might be clean again”

“The Girl With Sea Green EyesHappiness isS I M NW M I G in the ocean of her eyes”

“The RoadLife isn't a destinationIt's a journey.But you gotta be heading somewhereor you're just a mousegoing round.Even ifthe place you wind up isn't the place you where bound”

“Reading about how i live, you might assume i am some kind of psychopath, the sort of beast that must be locked away from society. But the truth is that I'm not tat different from you. Not very different at all.And that should scare the hell out of you”
