I want to be alone. Sympathies wasted on my hollow shell. I feel there's nothing left to fight for. No reason for a cause.

I'm an eternal optimist with a small degree of cynicism.

Music is very nebulous, and you can conjure up a lot of moods with music. But lyrics - they're a lot more tangible. They're much more specific. And you want to say something meaningful and creative and artistic and that tells a story and that takes people someplace else.

It's easier to believe in this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness, that brings me to my knees.

You take me in, no questions asked. You strip away the ugliness that surrounds me. Are you an angel?

Your love is just the antidote when nothing else can cure me.

We are in an age of technology where we sit in our little cubicles and we IM each other and Skype each other and never connect as human beings.
