I never advocate that you should be lonely, or come to my shows and bring me your razor blade to show me that you don't cut anymore.

Bathe in your riches and friends, I'll stay here with my songbooks and pens

You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to any of your heroes. Become what you wish to be.

Pages of revelation lie open in your empty eyes of blue

I didn't really get the chance to talk to girls. I was a straight boy with hormones kicking in, and I wanted to talk to girls, but they weren't interested in talking back to me, so there was a real sense of loneliness.

As we grow up we learn that even the person that wasnt supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it gets harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and youll eventually lose someone you love, so take many pictures, laugh too much and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is one minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Something pure to burn away the darkness that hides inside my mind
