“Royal balls are such a bore, aren’t they?”

This is a test. Everything out of his mouth has been a test.  

         She’s met suitors like him before --- upstarts who attempt a conversational counterpoint to the challenges she’s devised for them. Some wish to curry favor in the hopes that she’ll help them cheat through the rest of the games. Others are simply so desperate to show off their cleverness at every turn that they can’t help but PEACOCK on or off the arena. Every now and again there are those looking to kick her off her golden pedestal by making her look spoiled. Princess Daphne has kept her sovereignty for as long as she has by playing upon the affections of her people. She remains free so long as her suitors are seen UNWORTHY of her goodness. If she were to appear ungracious, the games would suddenly seem cruel and senseless, and the crowds would turn against her, the capricious aristocrat. And here comes this suitor, dashing and unknown and bent on winning. Every word of his just as DOUBLE-EDGED as the riddles she famously pens. 

       She keeps her expression placid.

         ❛   You’ve attended many balls this season, I take it?   ❜

❝Won’t you come sit here by the fire with me?❞ ❝Tell me your stories, all the places you’ve been.❞ ❝You must confess you’re not exactly innocent in all this.❞ ❝We both knew what time it was as soon as you walked in.❞ ❝So now I’m gonna vanish with you.❞ ❝But I’m leaving with you.❞ ❝What else can I do?❞ ❝Sister put the gun down and come.❞ ❝Deep in a bunker underground there is a voice that makes no sound.❞ ❝There was a fire in your house they say.❞ ❝They say you’ve been dancing with the devil.❞ ❝How could ____ be so damn naïve.❞ ❝Maybe the devil took ____.❞ ❝Or maybe ____ just chose to leave.❞ ❝I can watch the sunlight melt the snow.❞ ❝I can feel a new light start to grow.❞ ❝But I still got miles to go before I sleep❞ ❝Still got miles to go before all is revealed.❞ ❝We’re gonna hunt ____ down.❞ ❝And I doubt you’ll even notice we were on your trail.❞ ❝We strike like the lighting; once you can see us, you’re already too late.❞ ❝You can’t stop whatever is ‘round the corner.❞ ❝Don’t wanna bind ourselves to your joy.❞ ❝Don’t wanna cut and grab and snatch and destroy.❞ ❝We will knock ____ dead.❞ ❝Whatever you’ve done, just bury it.❞ ❝And find the secret place where we buried those bones.❞ ❝I don’t care where you’ve been tonight❞ ❝It is of no consequence my dear.❞ ❝Just stay here, my arms are wide, my love.❞ ❝And the rest of the world could disappear and I wouldn’t care.❞ ❝I guess I should open another bottle of wine.❞ ❝Light another cigarette and turn the record over.❞ ❝And play the songs we sang when we buried those bones.❞ ❝So pure, so damn pure.❞ ❝Dancing in the kitchen cooking up a snowstorm.❞ ❝Lie to me, _____.❞ ❝Lie to me.❞ ❝’Cause I’m no damn good.❞ ❝Meet me at the water’s edge tonight.❞ ❝Running out of places to hide.❞ ❝You say that these are nothing more than words.❞ ❝Mama couldn’t make him stay.❞ ❝Hatred resides in a fitful mind.❞ ❝Don’t want to live that way.❞ ❝Be careful not to slip now.❞ ❝You’re too young to die.❞ ❝Your blood is full of energy.❞ ❝There’s fire in your eyes.❞ ❝But these people aren’t your enemy.❞ ❝The truth gets disguised.❞ ❝Can’t find a good enough reason why.❞ ❝Don’t make your mind a prison cell.❞ ❝You have no right to play god.❞ ❝We sail into the storm.❞ ❝I recall when I first saw you.❞ ❝Why d’you wanna hold my hand?❞ ❝Surely that must mean you do care for me.❞ ❝You said you’d read my fortune.❞ ❝You told me of your nightmares.❞

It’s not much, but my money’s on you.

I didn’t come looking for love.

I didn’t come to pick a fight.

I come here every night to work and you can grab an axe, man, or you can step aside.

The list of things I used to be is longer than the list of things I am (: ex-lover, ex-friend, ex-communicated atheist, and an ex-patriot).

Anger is just love left out, gone to vinegar.

Looks like our writing on the wall is lorem ipsum after all.

I swallowed the dice; I make my own luck now.

I talk way too fast.

It’s just not true I’m a man-eater…all the same, we should probably go Dutch.

Careful kid with that wolf-whistle – you never know what you’ll attract.

But you can’t play for keeps if you never draw blood.

Innocence is overrated; based on what you haven’t done.

I run on whiskey and risk and ennui and impatience.

Love is like liquor – it burns as it moves you.

Far as I figure there’s nobody fireproof.

To aim high is to make waves, to split seams.

I wanna try, I wanna risk.

I’m not above apologies but I don’t ask permission.

Got a lot of imperfections but I don’t count my ambition in them.

Won’t extend my wings to be clipped.

If we all go round bowed heads, button-lipped…if never none of us go for the belt, then who wins?

Now there’s nowhere to go but go back.

And if we choose to fall who’s to say it isn’t flight?

Oh someone taught your walls to talk. (But if they ask me, I ain’t heard a thing…)

Well I heard from the rest of the world you’re in trouble.

I think of you still, more than you might suppose.

This was our first, this was our only, this was our very last chance.

You wake up a stranger to yourself then you learn to live with her.

You know life’s no bella telenovela.

Death and romance, the riddles of our lifetimes.

But you’re built to balance on two feet, so why you living this last year from your knees?

G'head and catch your breath.

You can be too careful.

Time flies like the crow does – no regard for the grid.

I can’t ask you to show love…but would it kill you if you did?

How lost you seem to be.

Maybe you were right all along.

I say I’m sorry less than I am wrong.

So here we are, both half-starved.

I’m a sad imposter.

Don’t let the battles pick you.

I’m not a writer I just drink a lot about it.

If diamonds are a girl’s best friend then you can share a fine laugh and you can send me back to the bottom of the mineshaft.

I’m bad with names, shit, I’m bad with faces.

I’m bad with bills and little kids and well-lit places.

You’re inside of the lie.

Just act surprised.

I haven’t met a locked door yet that I couldn’t beat.

Don’t waste your worry on me, I always find what I need.

Everyone’s got someplace they wanna be let in.

No, I’m from nowhere near. But I speak the language and I know the customs here.

Don’t you go waste all your worry on me.

Look at us all grown up.

You’re asking can’t we just be friends but this bell in my chest still rings and it’s better to just pretend.

I’m ready to let you go.

Call off your ghost.

I hope she makes you happy. (It’s just a lot to ask to watch your future walking past me.)

I know that jealousy’s a perfect waste of time but left to my devices, I’ve spent far too long wasting mine.

The future is a bitter past.

My nerves are shot.

My reserves are exhausted.

I still get chills when you talk to me.

These thrills ain’t as cheap as they used to be.

If you’re asking, I can’t say no.

You flash some fang and I bat my lashes and we’re back again, no end to this game with matches.

I’d be leaving for good, I’d be looking for better but I got this broken habit I keep gluing back together.

It’s harder every time I see you, and then when you leave.

But you ain’t mine to miss.

I know what friendship is and it sure doesn’t feel like us.

While we can let’s just stop.

I’m not trying to be sainted, I don’t need to be good, I’m just trying to stay blameless.

I don’t pretend it’s easy.

It’s been a long time lonely.

But here’s a chance to do right.

Forget the bull in the china shop – there’s a china doll in the bullpen.

It’s been assumed I’m soft or irrelevant ‘cause I refuse to downplay my intelligence.

Why am I the only one who’s acting like a gentleman?

Pity, what a waste.

All cloak, no dagger. Just smoke and swagger.

I love this job, but ah, good god, sometimes I hate this business.

You’re talking in circles.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got no ill will for you.

The man I knew…I don’t think that he can hear me now.

You’re a stone-cold killer you say, but you’re looking like a part-time criminal.

Man, you lay it on thick.

Probable lost cause. But I got a thing for long shots.

I sleep with both eyes open.

You were right about me

Don’t need much of your time for this apology.

And if I’m so smart, how can I learn so slow?

And I did it, I kissed him. I knew it would hurt you. (But it put down my loneliness, and that felt like virtue enough.)

I know it’s much too late.

I put us all at stake.

I’ve had one too many. (It takes quite a few.)

Was counting my losses. Wasn’t sure if I should count you.

Hello, it’s only me. I know it’s late.

Hoped to catch you still awake.

Maybe I was wrong to call.

Guess tonight broke my resolve.

I know that love is never free. It bows your head and bends your knees.

I sleep uneasily when you’re not in my bed.

I didn’t come to play it safe, I came to win or lose with you.

Virginity’s a childhood disease.

There’s only four ways to acquire – anyone says different is a salesman or a liar. You can find it, earn it, make it, or steal it. I haven’t found a single way to keep it.

You were always safe with me.

I seem to chill the objects that I meant so much to love.

I’m too polite to accuse you of being where you’ve been tonight.

I don’t know if he did it and I won’t ask.

Well I don’t don’t need to know, but there’s a set of my keys left under your door and if you need a place to sleep tonight…(well that’s what family’s for).

It’s your own hell to pay.

You’ve always been cunning with those brave escapes.

Take a minute now, think this through.

Now I don’t bow my head for supper, I never do kneels besides my bed. But it looks like your afterlife is covered; I hope on Earth you’re careful, kid.

It’s good to hear your voice again

I used to sing on the roof outside my windowsill.

I came hoping some ghost of me would be here still.

We’re finally even.

Some nights I still can’t sleep.

You fix a bird, you buy a cage. You fix a man, and he flies away.

Take a seat and let me get a look at your face.

No time for small talk.

I don’t believe that you’re reformed or you’re redeemed.

They could sew your hands together but they can’t make you pray.

I don’t suppose you’d tell the truth so I won’t ask you anymore.

I don’t regret a single day.

That trouble you’ve been looking for, it came looking for you.

You shouldn’t open doors you don’t plan to walk through.

You’ve got a long answers to a lot of short questions.

You’ve had a lot of last chances.

Spring Awakening Lyrics Roleplay Ask Meme

❛ All that’s known in history, in science — overthrown. ❜ ❛ You doubt them, and soon they bark and hound you. ❜ ❛ All they say is  ‘trust in what is written. ❜ ❛ Wars are made, and somehow that is wisdom. ❜ ❛ Thought is suspect and money is their idol. ❜ ❛ And nothing is okay unless it’s scripted in their Bible. ❜ ❛ But I know there’s so much more to find just in looking through myself, and not at them. ❜ ❛ Still, I know to trust my own true mind. ❜ ❛ Name the stars and know their dark returning. ❜ ❛ Just watch me. ❜   ❛ God, I dreamed there was an angel who could hear me through the wall. ❜ ❛ This is so not life at all. Help me out, out of this nightmare. ❜ ❛ Just give it time, kid. ❜ ❛ Let me teach you how to handle all the sadness in your soul. ❜ ❛ It’s the bitch of living. ❜ ❛ God, my whole life’s like some test. ❜ ❛ It’s like, just kiss some ass, man. Then you can screw ‘em all. ❜ ❛ It’s the bitch of living and living in your head. ❜ ❛ It’s the bitch of living and sensing God is dead. ❜ ❛ It’s the bitch of living and knowing this is it. ❜ ❛ God, is this it? This can’t be it. ❜ ❛ Oh God, what a bitch! ❜ ❛ It’s almost like loving. Sad as that is. ❜ ❛ It’s like I’m your lover or more like your ghost. ❜ ❛ I spend the day wondering what you do, where you go. ❜ ❛ I try and just kick it but what can I do. ❜ ❛ It’s chill in the wind but it’s warm in your arms. ❜ ❛ I love when you do stuff that’s rude and so wrong. ❜   ❛ I ride on the rush, all the hopes, all the dreams. ❜ ❛ I may be neglecting the things I should do. ❜ ❛ You. You. You. ❜ ❛ No more whispering anymore. ❜ ❛ Touch me — just like that. ❜ ❛ God, that’s so nice. ❜ ❛ No more weeping anymore. ❜ ❛ Touch me, all silent. ❜ ❛ Tell me, please, ‘all is forgiven’. ❜ ❛ Touch me — just try it. ❜ ❛ I’ll love you right. ❜ ❛ Just too unreal, all this. ❜ ❛ Haven’t you heard the word of your body? ❜ ❛ Haven’t you heard the word of my wanting? ❜ ❛ Oh, I’m gonna be wounded. ❜ ❛ Oh, I’m gonna be your wound. ❜ ❛ Oh, I’m gonna bruise you. ❜ ❛ Oh, you’re gonna be my bruise. ❜ ❛ Watching his/her/their/your world slip through my fist. ❜ ❛ Haven’t you heard the word – how I want you? ❜ ❛ I wanna be strong. I want the world to find out. ❜ ❛ Truly it touched me — it did — that you would think of me as a friend. ❜ ❛ Uh huh…uh huh…uh huh…well, fine. ❜ ❛ Not like it’s even worth the time. ❜   ❛ But still, you know, you wanted more. ❜ ❛ Sorry, it won’t change — been there before. ❜ ❛ A thousand bucks, I’m, like, scott free. ❜ ❛ By now you know the score. ❜ ❛ You’re gonna crash and burn. ❜ ❛ You toe the line. ❜ ❛ They’re not my home, not anymore. ❜ ❛ In any case, I assure you that your present misfortune will have no effect on my feelings for you. ❜ ❛ Okay, so nothing’s changed — heard that before. ❜ ❛ I am unchangingly, and most fondly yours. ❜ ❛ Just fuck it, right? Enough, that’s it. ❜ ❛ Another day of utter shit. ❜ ❛ Flip on a switch, and everything’s fine. ❜ ❛ But there’s nowhere to hide from these bones, from my mind. ❜ ❛ Awful sweet to be a little butterfly. Just wingin’ over things, and nothing deep inside. ❜ ❛ I don’t do sadness. ❜ ❛ And who can say what dreams are? ❜ ❛ And who can say what we are? ❜ ❛ Can’t help the itch to touch, to kiss to hold ____ once again. ❜ ❛ All things ____ never did are left behind. ❜ ❛ When we look back, thirty years from now, tonight will seem unbelievably…beautiful. ❜ ❛ I thought perhaps, we’d only talk — ❜ ❛ So, are you sorry we…? ❜ ❛ I love you, _____, as I have never loved anyone! ❜ ❛ Oh, you’re gonna be wounded. ❜ ❛ Oh, you’re gonna be my wound. ❜ ❛ Oh you’re gonna bruise too. ❜ ❛ Oh, I’m gonna be your bruise. ❜ ❛ Such a shame. Such a sin. ❜ ❛ Those you’ve known and lost, still walk behind you. ❜ ❛ Those you’ve pained may carry that still with them. ❜ ❛ You’ve left them far behind. ❜ ❛ There’s a way through this. ❜ ❛ There’s so much more to find — another dream, another love you’ll hold. ❜ ❛ On your way you are not alone. ❜
