I watched the mighty skyline fall

I don't want clever conversation, I never want to work that hard, I just want someone I can talk to, I want you just the way you are.

I'm not sure about life after this; god knows I'm not a spiritual man.

We're only human, we're supposed to make mistakes.

I see the children with their boredom and their vacant stares.

I've lived long enough to have learned, the closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned.

They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known. And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own. Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lovers eyes...and I can only stand apart and sympathize...for we are only what our situations hand us...it's either sadness or euphoria.
