It's easier to runReplacing this pain with something numbIt's so much easier to goThan face all this pain here all alone.

Like memories in cold decay, Transmissions echoing away, Far from the world of you and I Where oceans bleed into the sky..

Memories consumeLike opening the woundI'm picking me apart againYou all assumeI'm safe here in my roomUnless I try to start again.

The only reason to buy a paper book any longer is to own it and cherish it and remember it and tell a story about it.

All moral elevation consists first and foremost of being weaned from the momentary.
