I have seen them come and go and yet I somehow know that few will amount to anything, but one bird is all it takes to sing. #onebirdisallittakestosing

2 forward, 1 back, it's how progress goes. Fits and starts, no one knows what’s forward and back, rollercoaster, can't see the track. Ground drops, we free-fall, turn on each other if at all. We lose our friends, our marriage fails, America’s is littered by hail. #litteredbyhail

I’m the one who cares, the one who tries, the one who lives, the one who dies. I died too many times I’m dying again, if you’re not my life I hope you’ll be my friend That’s too much, I sit here alone, it seems only one of us can call this place home. #oneofus

I’ve fallen for girls too many times and it hasn’t been enough, I called the phenomenon so many things but only rarely was it love. #onlyrarely

I know I’m a hypocrite, I don’t practice what I preach. The ways I teach others to succeed have always led me to defeat. I play the lyre when I sing, while others have to listen. God could never understand, it’s part of the human condition. #partofthehumancondition

If it were so simple that I could see it, I’d believe in Pascal’s wager, but since I can’t then I might as well go to tomorrow night’s rager. #pascalsrager

Looking for balance, for every loser there is talent in the wings, learning to sing, I thought life would bring satisfaction, it’s time for action and not pissing around. I worked to create a world I know how the game's played you deliver on promises and take them away. #balance

It’s like a disease that spreads through the air, infecting the children, who forget that they care about their own futures, they rip out the sutures that I had used to patch them up and say beware. #itslikeadisease

Unhappy folks make pain contagious cuz they fear the storm will consume them alone they don't want to die on their own, for that's how their lives were lived, no companionship, they never wanted this, to be heirs to a vampire kiss, for they are the thing they miss. #vampirekiss

I ask sky why and no reply, the Devil has his plan, God’s impossible to find but I try, I ask Him for a favor but He snickers as He goes by holding a blessing in His hand meant for others, I’m damned to see the Devil nod, I now see that Job was lucky: at least he had God. #job

Friends ask why I'm with you when you hurt my heart, It wasn’t that way and maybe she'll reciprocate love I have; but fading heartstrings are an instrument you're playing and you’re a virtuoso, after many years: step one makes the wounds step two is to rub in the tears. #tears

I’m on an island cut off from the world, I’m a straight hair on a head full of curls, everybody sees me but no one understands just because I’m different doesn’t mean I’m contraband. #justbecauseimdifferent

The government said they’d keep us safe like the mafia offers protection, I thought they meant the pandemic, but they handed me contraception. #protection

Hold you to my heart like a child with a teddy bear in the night he’s sure of fear eating a hole in his mind love's.what he speaks, I understand how you weep. I heard you cry in tongues, love's what he speaks, I led my armies on the field, knowing it'd end in defeat. #defeatthem

I’m a liability: a millstone on her neck, I'm suffering but she’ll get upset. I never get better, when I'm wet I get wetter, I feel hollowed out, an empty husk, a car of rust, filled with doubt. Love doesn’t stay, it’s in flux, I am a product of two people getting f**ked.

Liberty's a flag free to wave without being taken down. Liberty's free to grow without worrying about hitting the ground. Liberty is a man free to do as he wants as long as it doesn’t hurt someone else. Liberty is a person who can live whether or not he can pay for health. #free

Prepare for Hell, it’s just as well, we get there anyway, not after we die but while we're alive, that’s the game we play. There's no escape, when we die we awake and until then life's a nightmare, the irony is by the time we don’t live, we’re unable to care. #prepareforhell

I am temporary every single day, stuck in place for one brief time like a snowflake on a branch and then I melt again and drip onto a sparrow’s wing: a drop of water like a crown on a king. #likeacrownonaking

Pain of every hour, pain of every day, locked in every year, never goes away. Failures of future are failures of past, and we ride time as ships with broken masts. Plague that was coming is plague that was here, as we put the world together like a wound that heals. #likeawound
