PARTS OF SPEECH REVIEW

1. If I treated you bad you bruise my face. Couldn�t love you more. You�ve got a beautiful face. Don�t let the days go by. Could have been easier on you. I couldn�t change though I wanted to. Could have been easier by three. Our old friend fear and you and me. Don�t let the days go by.

2. Since 1516 minds attacked and overseen, now crawl amidst the ruins of this empty dream. They�re borders and boots on top of us, pulling knobs on the floor of their toxic metropolis. So how you going to get what you need to get? The gut eaters, blood drenched get offensive like Tet.

3. She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak. I�ve been locked in your heart-shaped box for a week. I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap. I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black. Hey! Wait! I�ve got a new complaint. Forever in debt to your priceless advice. Hate! Haight! I�ve got a new complaint. Forever in debt to your priceless advice.
