1.

how to make love stay

2.

keep what you have built up here

3.

what safe means

4.

it happened because you left

5.

rally the troops! poke holes in their defenses! line our coffers with their coffins!

6.

our love has made us pariahs

7.

everything is connected and everything matters (a temporary solution to a permanent problem)

8.

i am a snail, and you are a pace i cannot match

9.

it's a plague, and you're invited

10.

the loneliness inside me is a place

11.

the next step to regaining control

12.

an idea is a greater monument than a cathedral

13.

with your greatest fears realized, you will not be comforted

14.

year of the rabbit

15.

they will throw us to the wolves

16.

you have to believe that life is more than the sum of it's parts, kiddo

17.

lilly, i have something important to tell you

18.

k.o. k.o. (the most of my worries are the least of your concerns)

19.

20.

idk, my bff jill

21.

everything rests on your small shoulders

22.

i swim like a minnow

23.

i was somewhere cold, dark... and lonely

24.

25.

we are people here. we are not numbers

26.

27.

it was your heart that saved you

28.

you have to be so much better than you ever thought

29.

30.

31.

when you are done living on borrowed time

32.

if we had found you any later, you would have drowned

33.

things not worth fixing

34.

if it's bad news, it can wait

35.

the only one who could ever reach you

36.

documenting thirty days

37.

the promise that life can go on no matter how bad our losses

38.

actually, i'm just wearing your glasses

39.

it's so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone

40.

i would have stolen you a whole orchestra

41.

everything familiar has disappeared! the world looks brand-new!

42.

how to stay afloat in a sea of change

43.

archival footage

44.

so how many points do you have 'till you gain, you know, the ultimate power?

45.

what had taken years to put together was destroyed in one moment

46.

47.

the horror of riovanes

48.

we did not need to open it to know it was there

49.

50.

we were not small or great but grown

51.

i knew this because as i drove, the hole that was me and my life was getting smaller and smaller and was being filled with new hampshire, or maybe it was the idea of new hampshire, but who cares, as long as it was filling up the hole.

52.

girls will not frighten the frost from the grave

53.

when we did not move or speak, there was no proof that we were there at all

54.

you promised you'd stay here with me

55.

everything small is just a small version of something big

56.

since you left home on your journey, things have changed around here

57.

it's a fate we can't escape. someday we will all pass away.

58.

i knew this because as i drove

59.

60.

61.

when we did not move or speak

62.

a crown and a cane is needed at the 4th floor

63.

you have to believe that life

64.

you will eventually be forgotten

65.

rally the troops

66.

everything is connected and ev

67.

so how many points do you have

68.

all passwords are brisbane

69.

70.

71.

what it takes to move forward

72.

the midnights lie around

73.

middle discography

74.

75.

76.

does it really antimatter?

77.

it can be comforting

78.

79.

80.

josh the mighty

81.

with your greatest fears

82.

83.

where angels crowd to listen

84.

85.

empire new song final mix
