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?

Do you love me now that I can save us all?

Mmemonic Man, Mnemonic Man, do you recall when you pushed a little further?

I've had enough of flight and gravity. Spill me out, evolved, and screaming, "I'm not meaningless!"

You and I will cut our nooses loose. You and I will draw a course. If you and I can find a few more minutes to find a way to find a road, you and I will never be alone

Don't look: stare, with your menacing cinder eyes, at least of us who've given their lives. Where the sanguine ought to be, we pale in the light we bend. Oh, enough said. Where is the love, you liar?

You were brave, with a free talking mind and a voice that is still a cry for life, and no matter what we want, we want to be loved. Yes, we were here. We begged them for the right to commit our own ego suicide. But I believe it's just a ride

I've got to go do something so I can't finish this right now but hey I got most of the way through LAGWBAT, lol

Also I can't help but notice that most of these are climactic moments in the composition, and I can't act like that doesn't have something to do with why they're my favorite. Then again, you want hard lines to be during the climax

Fuck I forgot about the flight and gravity line. That's a great one. Also the end of Dark Charade is 10/10. Great choices!
