~ Skulduggery Pleasant: The Faceless Ones, Derek Landy

and

And song lyrics because why not?

"Life is chances that are taken
But nothing's ever broken
They're just pieces on the ground
New hands need to build them"
~ Touch, Troye Sivan

"Let's go have fun, you and me in the old Jeep
Ride around town with our rifles on the front seat
Fun, you and me in the Middle East
Shooting at rocks, bullets cocked in the midday sun"
~ Fun, Troye Sivan
Dang it Troye! I did not expect a song called "Fun" to be so deep and depressing!

"Kiss me on the mouth and set me free
Sing me like a choir
I can be the subject of your dreams
Your sickening desire
Don't you want to see a man up close?
A phoenix in the fire
So kiss me on the mouth and set me free
But please don't bite"
~ Bite, Troye Sivan
Having watched Troye's explanation of this song, I find it to be very deep and meaningful so yeah.

"I am tired of this place, I hope people change
I need time to replace what I gave away
And my hopes, they are high, I must keep them small
Though I try to resist I still want it all"
~ Fools, Troye Sivan

"I see swimming pools and living rooms and aeroplanes
I see a little house on the hill and children's names
I see quiet nights poured over ice and Tanqueray
But everything is shattering and it's my mistake"
~ Fools, Troye Sivan

"I'm down to my skin and bone
And my mommy, she can't put down the phone
And stop asking how I'm doing all alone, alone
But the truth is the stars are falling, ma
And the wolves are out a-calling, ma
And my home has never felt this far"
~ Ease, Troye Sivan

"But all this driving
Is driving me crazy
And all this moving
Is proving to get the best of me
And I've been trying to hide it
But lately
Every time I think I'm better
Pickin' my head up, getting nowhere"
~ Ease, Troye Sivan

"Take me back to the basics and the simple life
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night"

"The truth is, the stars are falling, babe
And I'd never ever thought that I would say
I'm afraid of the life that I've made, I've made"
~ Ease, Troye Sivan

"I've been lyin' to them all
I don't need it anymore
Don't you worry about me
I'll be fine if I can breathe
I've been hidin' for too long
Taking [bad stuff] for how I'm wrong"
~ Ease, Troye Sivan

"This separation,
time and space between us
For some revelation
You didn't care to discuss
I'd rather be black and blue
Than accept that you withdrew"
~ The Quiet, Troye Sivan

"Just tell me
Say anything
Anything hurts less than the quiet"
~ The Quiet, Troye Sivan

But you left me no choice
Only talking to myself here
Now you've muffled your voice
I'd rather have broken bones
Than feel myself turn to stone"
~ The Quiet, Troye Sivan

"I wanna hold hands with you
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna get close to you
Cause your hands and lips still know their way around
And I know I like to draw at night; it starts to get surreal
But the less time that I spend with you, the less you need to heal"
~ Talk Me Down, Troye Sivan

"This voice inside
Has been eating at me
Trying to replace the love that I fake
With what we both need

The truth runs wild
Like kids on concrete
Trying to sedate, my mind in it's cage
And numb what I see

Awake, wide eyed
I'm screaming at me
Trying to keep faith and picture his face
Staring up at me"
~ Heaven, Troye Sivan

"Without losing a piece of me
How do I get to heaven?
Without changing a part of me
How do I get to heaven?
All my time is wasted
Feeling like my heart's mistaken, oh
So if I'm losing a piece of me
Maybe I don't want heaven?"
~ Heaven, Troye Sivan
As far as I'm aware he kept both the piece of himself and Heaven, which is admirable.

"The truth runs wild
Like the rain to the sea
Trying to set straight the lines that I trace
To find some relief
This voice inside
Has been eating at me
Trying to embrace the picture I paint
And colour me free"
~ Heaven, Troye Sivan

"What if
What if we start to drive
What if
What if we close our eyes
What if
Speeding through red lights into paradise
Cause we've no time for getting old
Mortal bodies; timeless souls
Cross your fingers, here we go"
~ Youth, Troye Sivan

Though I told you not to worry

Trying to kid myself
That I got my [stuff] together"

Build your hopes up like a tower
I'm giving you the run around
I'm just a lost boy
Not ready to be found"

"I don't care much for locks on the window
To keep me at bay
I'll leave you one last kiss on your pillow
Before I fly away

Yeah, we knew from the beginning
That this wasn't never ending
Shouldn't stay too long
Cause we're both too young
To give into forever"
~ Lost Boy, Troye Sivan

"So what are you waiting for?
Cause someone could love you more
I'm just a lost boy"
~ Lost Boy, Troye Sivan

"We are runnin' so fast
And we never look back
And whatever I lack, you make up
We make a really good team
And though not everyone sees
We got this crazy chemistry
Between us"
~ For Him, Troye Sivan

"You don't have to say I love you to say I love you
Forget all the shooting stars and all the silver moons
We've been making shades of purple out of red and blue
Sickeningly sweet like honey, don't need money
All I need is you"
~ For Him, Troye Sivan

"Yeah, there's so much history in these streets
And mama's good eats
And Wonder on repeat
There's so much history in my head
The people I've left
The ones that I've kept"
~ Suburbia, Troye Sivan

"Have you heard me on the radio?
Did you turn it up?
On your blown-out stereo
In suburbia
Could be playing hide and seek from home
Can't replace my blood
Yeah, it seems I'm never letting go
Of suburbia"
~ Suburbia, Troye Sivan

"They all say that nothing ever changes
Through the new lines that are on their faces"

So I'll paint you a clear blue sky
Without you I am colour-blind
It's raining every time I open my eyes"
