Lyrics have to be underwritten. That's why poets generally make poor lyric writers because the language is too rich. You get drowned in it.

Every day a little death.

Sometimes people leave you Halfway through the wood Others may decieve you You decide what's good You decide alone But no one is alone

Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos.

I do not dwell on dreams I know how soon a dream becomes an expectation How can I have expectations? Look at me, No, Captain, Look at me, Look at me!

Perpetual anticipation is good for the soul but it's bad for the heart.

Making lyrics feel natural, sit on music in such a way that you dont feel the effort of the author, so that they shine and bubble and rise and fall, is very, very hard to do. Whereas you can sit at the piano and just play and feel youre making art.
