Holmes may refer to:
Sherlock Holmes (/ˈʃɜːrlɒk ˈhoʊmz/) is a fictional character created by British author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A London-based "consulting detective" whose abilities border on the fantastic, Holmes is known for his astute logical reasoning, his ability to adopt almost any disguise, and his use of forensic science to solve difficult cases. The character first appeared in print in 1887, and was featured in four novels and 56 short stories by Conan Doyle, as well as later works by other authors. The first novel, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887 and the second, The Sign of the Four, in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character's popularity grew with the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine, beginning with "A Scandal in Bohemia" in 1891; additional short-story series and two novels (published in serial form) appeared from then to 1927. The events in the stories take place from about 1880 to 1914.
All but four stories are narrated by Holmes's friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson. Two are narrated by Holmes himself ("The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier" and "The Adventure of the Lion's Mane"), and two others are written in the third person ("The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone" and "His Last Bow"). In two stories ("The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual" and "The Adventure of the Gloria Scott"), Holmes tells Watson the story from memory, with Watson narrating the frame story. The first and fourth novels, A Study in Scarlet and The Valley of Fear, include long passages of omniscient narrative of events unknown to either Holmes or Watson.

At Borstal, Brendan is forced to live face-to-face with those he perceived as "the enemy," a confrontation that reveals a deep inner conflict in the young Brendan and forces a self-examination that is both traumatic and revealing. Events take an unexpected turn and Brendan is thrown into a complete spin. In the emotional vortex, he finally faces up to the truth.

I've come to terms with who I am inside my mind
Planning for the future men she gets with after me
Kind of girl my friends might think anything that makes me happy
Moving back to those times fucking up when we were only kids
Thinking back those were times that mattered
Getting older now most of us still think just like we did
Does all of this bullshit really matter
Woah
Time is all we have so fucking rethink that we have in store
Woah
You're body's fucking rotting as we're waiting to live life
Waiting to live life
Speaking of, I'm on the ledge again
Peering down to find myself my fallen friend
Hoping I'm awake for long
Bad decision I know but it's the only one I've got
Moving back to those times fucking up when we were only kids
Thinking back those were times that mattered
Getting older now most of us still think just like we did
Does all of this bullshit really matter
Woah
Time is all we have so fucking rethink that we have in store
Woah
You're body's fucking rotting as we're waiting to live life
Waiting to live life
When it's coming up and I can't replace it
