I know there is an eye that watches all of us. There is a judgment that weighs everything we do. And before this great force, which is greater than any government I stand in awe and I kneel in respect and it is to this great judgment that I dedicate this next song...

When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned.

You can keep the body as well-oiled and receptive as possible, but whether you're actually going to be able to go for the long haul is really not your own choice.

You have money, fame, youth, beauty, talent. That's a good start... for feeling good.

When you're younger, you do have that thing that you were talking about where the mouth goes dry. I mean you have reactions, and you do fall in love.

Raise a million filters and the rain will not be clean, until the longing for it be refined in deep confession.

Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
