“How did I get to here?
A random chain of events
Or chemical and elements
Conspiring, divining”

“So you feel entitled to a sense of control
And make decisions that you think are your own
You are a stranger here, why have you come”
“You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between
What I thought and what I said
You are the night-time fear
You are the morning when it’s clear
When it’s over your start
You’re my head
You’re my heart”
“Be still
Wild and young
Long may your innocence reign
Like shells on the shore
And may your limits be unknown
And may your efforts be your own
If you ever feel you can’t take it anymore
Don’t break character
You’ve got a lot of heart
Is this real or just a dream?”
“Mamma’s gonna make all of your nightmares come true,
Mamma’s gonna put all of her fears into you,
Mamma’s gonna keep you right here, under her wing.
She won’t let you fly, but she might let you sing,
Mamma’s gonna keep baby cosy and warm.
Of course Mamma’s gonna help build the wall.”
“We are just the monkeys who fell out of the trees
We are blisters on the earth
And we are not the flowers, we’re the strangling weeds in the meadow
And love is just our way of looking out for ourselves
When we don’t want to live alone
So step into the vacuum, tear off your clothes and be born again”
“I don’t wanna be your friend
I just wanna be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts”
“…She’s waiting
just anticipating
the thing that you’ll never never possess
but while she there waiting
try just a little bit of tenderness
that’s all you got to do…?”
“I’m not afraid of anything even time
It’ll eke away at everything but we’ll be fine”
“But one thing’s for certain, when it comes my time,
I’ll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.”
“Now I’m ready to start
I would rather be wrong
Than live in the shadows of your song
My mind is open wide
And now I’m ready to start”
“I was born in a big gray cloud
Screaming out a love song
All the broken chords and unnamed cries
What a place to come from
I wish to remain nameless
And live without shame
‘Cause what’s in a name
I still remain the same”
“Oh, I’ll keep takin’ punches until their will grows tired
Oh, I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
I won’t change direction, and I won’t change my mind
How much difference does it make”
“Hey, there dreamers
I know you feel alone
Way out there out there dreamin’
You got no proof to take back home…
Hey, there screamers
I know you get these done
Way out there out there screamin
Well you can’t hear anyone”
“Felt it in my fists, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone”
“If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can’t help it the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me or treat me mean
I’ll make the most of it I’m an extraordinary machine”
“I am open
I am welcome
For a fraction
Of a second
I have jettisoned my illusions
I have dislodged my depressions
I put the shadows back into
The boxes”
“…twelve particles of matter, four forces of nature…”
