“If we have to get married and have a million babies, I hope our relationship will be built on mutual disgust and an endless barrage of ridicule and insults.

“When I was a little kid and I heard a song I liked on TV, I would jump up and run to the piano to try and figure it out by ear. When I was 10 or 11, I built myself a drum kit in the garage made out of empty laundry detergent buckets, old lawn chairs, paint cans, and old trash cans. And around that time, my parents got me my first guitar. A baby acoustic. I jumped between all of these instruments constantly to satisfy the ideas I heard in my head. At this young age, I realized that music would play a huge part in my life.” TryingFirstsLittlesMadeIdeasPlayRunningKidsAgeYoungSongParentHeardFiguresTvsHugeBabyBuiltEmptyEarsInstrumentsPaintGuitarI RealizedPianoChairsLittle KidTrashYoung AgeLawnsGarageBucketsLaundryAcousticsTrash CansLaundry Detergent Author:Brendon Urie
“The drab brown front of the house made it look as if it had been built from rusty spare parts. Someone always put lace curtains in the windows of dreary houses, and Nick was unsurprised to see the curtains making their attempts in every window of this place. There was a china garden gnome on the doorstep, wearing a desperate, crazy smile. "It's not so bad," Alan said. "You never take me nice places anymore, baby." said Nick, and was mildly gratified by Alan's ring of laughter, like a living bell that had been caught by surprise when it was struck.” IfsLooksMadeSaidHouseNiceCrazyFrontsBabyLaughterBuiltGardenWindowSurpriseCaughtChinaRingsMade ItDesperateBrownTake MeBellsSparesCurtainsDrearyLaceGnomeDoorstepSpare Parts Book:The Demon's Lexicon Source: The Demon's Lexicon
“You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.” WellsEndsMatterRunningSpiritLandBabyBuiltSticksWestEastTexasTerrifiedCagesFree SpiritWild ThingsBreakfast At TiffanysSomali Author:Truman Capote
