"I heard that you were living well, but you don't look like you're living to me. though the sparkle is gone, the smile is in place so that everyone watching can see.

"I don't know what I want in life. I don't know what I want right now. All I know is that I'm hurting so much inside that it's eating me, and one day, there won't be any of me left. Everything that ever caused a tear to trickle down my cheeks, I run away and hide from it. But now, everything is unwinding and finding its way back towards me. And I don't know what to do. I just know that the pain I felt so long ago, it's hurting ten times more."

"There is a voice, that has no name. It comes with evening or behind the rain. I have no time now, to stop and explain, I just keep movin, cause it helps to ease the pain. The night has music that calls to me, across the canyons of an endless sea. I seek the shadows, of yesterday. Today can't hold me, so I must be on my way. Speak to me softly but tell me no lies. I see tomorrow shining in your eyes. I have no time now to stop and explain, I just keep movin cause it helps to ease the pain."

"Too weak to live, too strong to die."

"I'm bitter but young. Negative but hopeful. Sad but I laugh."
