I think making things that aren't necessarily shiny, happy feelings, putting them in that environment is sometimes an easy way to deal with the ugliness. Like, I know that as a kid, that I found - I think I learned this a bit from my mother - that if I could be as warm around strangers, no matter how strange or what different environment I was in, that people tended to be warm back.

Funny the way it is, not right or wrong, somebody's heart is broken, and it becomes your favorite song.

Remember that there are hundreds of thousands of things you can eat that are not cheese.

Everyday should be a good day to die

You crush me with the things you do, I do for anything too...each moment the more I love you.

I hate to admit it, but we're badass.

Sometimes it's nice to be able to reflect on the music itself and then write lyrics that I feel anyone can relate to. It's not my dreaming tree that is dead. The feeling of a loss of hope is universal. There are moments that we've all felt a little bit of it, so I don't think it is something that is too hard to identify with.
