- Discipline
When scientists analyze people who appear to have tremendous self-control, it turns out those individuals aren't all that different from those who are struggling. Instead, 'disciplined' people are better at structuring their lives in a way that does not require heroic willpower and self-control.

I'm leaving this town and I'm changing my address, I know that you'll come if you want. It's not Halloween, but the ghost you're dressed up as sure knows how to haunt, yeah, she knows how to haunt.

When you come to Duluth, you understand what makes it special. From the world-famous lift bridge to charming neighborhoods filled with local breweries and restaurants, Duluth is a true original along the pristine shores of Lake Superior. Part rugged, part refined and 100% one-of-a-kind. You'll get it when you get here.

- Phony
Why, oh why do we dance in this place? I can't understand even the simplest of things; what even am I? Even that, stirred by the hand of the night; just like love, it disappears. I cried, still unable to say even goodbye. Tangled up in lies, I am a phony. Before I knew it, the mimicked cries joined the unpleasant chorus. Their eyes, leery, are dissolving you. I am missing from the mirror's reflection. There is only a "fake" that everyone mistook for someone else.

- Premonitions
My parents were going away, only for a weekend. So was I, but to a different place. We were all supposed to have fun. I packed on Thursday, and woke up on Friday to get ready for school. "Someone isn't coming home," I thought. "Shut up. Everyone will be fine. It's just another weekend for fun," I told myself. I was picked up that afternoon... and it was a weekend of fun. But that Monday? Oh, that Monday... the worst one of my life. My dog was gone. I only see him in my memories and photographs.

- You're a shoe!
It's like all of my life everyone's told me "You're a shoe! You're a shoe! You're a shoe! You're a shoe!" Well, what if I don't want to be a shoe? What if I wanna be a purse or a hat?

- Without Me
Part of me feels like there's more here, like our time isn't finished yet. I feel that way because I envisioned my life with you and it's going to take me a while to let go of that. The other part of me doesn't think you want it enough. Communicating with me should've been easier than cheating was. Frankly, you've made it clear you don't know what you want, so take some time to figure that out without me.

- Diamonds
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays. I saw the life inside your eyes. So shine bright, tonight, you and I. We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky. Eye to eye, so alive. We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky. Shine bright like a diamond. Shine bright like a diamond. Shine bright like a diamond. We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky. Shine bright like a diamond. Shine bright like a diamond. Shine bright like a diamond. We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky.

There's a fire starting in my heart. Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the dark. Finally I can see you crystal clear. Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare See how I'll leave with every piece of you. Don't underestimate the things that I will do. There's a fire starting in my heart. Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark The scars of your love remind me of us. They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.

- The Deep
Luke turned to face the door again and started to crawl desperately. His fingernails and kneecaps scraped the cement, opening the skin up. The door galloped away in heart-clutching increments - he chased it the way a car pursues a heat shimmer on the highway: always tantalizingly close, but you never quite catch it.

- Immortality's curse
There are plenty of people who wish of having immortality on this Earth, but that to me a painful curse. Sure, you get to have the benefit of doing what you want, however you want, but before you go out wishing for the ability of eternal life, think about what will happen. What happens when you run out of things to do? Everything is finite. Do the people around you become immortal as well? If not, then everyone you have and ever will know, will eventually pass away without you.

I've always had problems sleeping. Even as a child, my mother would always check my room to find me reading well into the night. If I heard her coming up the stairs, I would turn off my light and dive beneath the covers to try and convince her I was sound asleep. If it worked, I would listen to her walk off to her room, and then bring out my book once again. At the time, I thought it was because I loved reading, but looking back I think it must have been the first strings of insomnia.

Morality concerns itself with the goodness or badness of your character and the rightness or wrongness of decisions. Lots of decisions are moral decisions, but cleaning your car regularly is not one of them. You can be a fully functioning, fully successful, happy, kind, generous adult and never be very good at cleaning your dishes in a timely manner or have an organized home.

- Looking at my keyboard.
Lately, I've noticed that sometimes whilst typing I am looking down at my keyboard. However, this isn't because I am unfamiliar with my keyboard and that I need to see where the keys are, rather it seems this is purely just a bad habit that stuck around from I was still learning how to type. I don't know how to overcome this habit but I will gladly report that I typed this without looking down at all.

- Madison Beer - Reckless
I still have the letter you wrote when you told me that I was the only girl you'd ever want in your life. I guess my friends were right. Each day goes by and each night I cry. Somebody saw you with her last night. You gave me your words "Don't worry 'bout her." You might love her now, but you loved me first. Said you'd never hurt me, but here we are. Oh, you swore on every star. How could you be so reckless with my heart?

- Finale (Alastor's verse)- Hazbin Hotel
This place reeks of death, there's a chill in the air. And I barely escaped being killed by a hair. "Great Alastor, altruist, died for his friends." Sorry to disappoint, that is not where this ends. I'm hungry for freedom like never before. The constraints of my deal surely have a backdoor. Once I figure out how to unclip my wings. Guess who will be pulling all the strings?

- Dial drunk
"Son, why do you do this to yourself?" And I said, I ain't proud of all the punches that I've thrown in the name of someone I no longer know, for the shame of being young, drunk and alone. Traffic lights and a transmitter radio. I don't like that when they threw me in the car, I gave your name as my emergency phone call, honey it rang and rang even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up. I dial drunk, I'll die a drunk, I'd die for you.

- SIX the Musical: Heart of Stone - Jane Seymour
You can build me up, you can tear me down. You can try, but I'm unbreakable. You can do your best, but I'll stand the test. You'll find that I'm unshakeable. When the fire's burnt. When the wind has blown. When the water's dried, you still find stone. My heart of stone.
