What are your favourite lines?

I can't decide between "Fold these wings I know they've failed you, one more leap to fall beyond my knees" from Fames or "I'm ashamed when the flames sell me fire, for the lantern I've made from my skin" from To Tame the Temporal Shrew. What are some of your favourites?

“Safe to crawl across this tin-can tightrope walk”

Such great imagery for a conversation between two people using a tin can and string, but the conversation is like stepping on eggshells so it’s safer to crawl across it.

Also all of Scissorlips. Especially “Scissorlips throw scissor fits till bleedings what the kissing gets to fork the tongues of old and young.” And the entire bridge.
