You are so lame. You always disappoint me. It's kind of like our running joke but it's really not funny and I just want you to live up to the image of you I create.

and I try to draw the line but it ends up running down the middle of me most of the time.

When you grow up surrounded by willful ignorance, you have to believe that mercy has it's own country and that it's round and borderless.

No one's gonna sympathize when we crash, they'll say you hit what you head for, you get what you ask.

I noticed with older songs that I perform that I'm coming from a different place with them now...it mutates the vibe and even the meaning of the same words when you have a different spirit, if the person singing is different. I like that, to be able to sing an emotionally wrought song from a more centered place, or to sing an eager, youthful song from a more experienced place. It kind of colors the songs differently, and it keeps them fresh.

Some people's minds we're not going to change. But if we can't, we need to bring more positive voices into the discussion.

Privilege is a headache, that you don't know that you don't have.
