"As a human being I am lost, and as an artist I am looking for answers. Yet the lost look toward me, the artist, for answers. It’s kind of fucked up in a way, and I wish I could do more to help, but I have a hard job looking after myself, let alone other people"

But before you come to any conclusions, Try walking in my shoes. Try walking in my shoes."

"You've been kept down, You've been pushed 'round. You've been lied to, You've been fed truths. Who's making your decisions? You or your religion? Your government, your countries? You patriotic junkies.Where's the revolution? Come on, people You're letting me down."

It was the wrong plan in the wrong hands, With the wrong theory for the wrong man. The wrong eyes on the wrong prize, The wrong questions with the wrong replies."

"And words can leave you broken inside. You'll have to decide, I'm hanging on to my pride.We are here, we can love. We share something. I'm sure that you mean the world to me When you get what you need. There's no way of knowing What you'll have is another hole to feed."

"If you've been hiding from love, If you've been hiding from love, I can understand where you're coming from. I can understand where you're coming from. If you've suffered enough, If you've suffered enough, I can understand what you're thinking of. I can see the pain that you're frightened of.And I'm only here To bring you free love. Let's make it clear That this is free love."

"There's no time for hesitating, Pain is ready, pain is waiting, Primed to do its educating. Unwanted, uninvited kin, It creeps beneath your crawling skin. It lives without, it lives within you.Feel the fever coming, You're shaking and twitching. You can scratch all over, But that won't stop you itching."

"As your boney fingers close around me, Long and spindly, death becomes me. Heaven, can you see what I see? Hey, you pale and sickly child, You're death and living reconciled. Been walking home a crooked mile.Paying debt to karma, You party for a living. What you take won't kill you, But careful what you're given, mmhmm."

"Well it's about time, It's beginning to hurt. Time you made up your mind, Just what is it all worth?All my useless advice, All my hanging around. All your cutting down to size, All my bringing you down."

"Here is a page from the emptiest stage, A cage or the heaviest cross ever made, A gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid.And I thank you for bringing me here, For showing me home, for singing these tears. Finally, I've found that I belong here."

"This twisted, tortured mess, This bed of sinfulness, Who's longing for some rest And feeling numb.What do you expect of me? What is it you want? Whatever you've planned for me, I'm not the one."

"All of these insurmountable tasks That lay before me, All of the firsts and the definite lasts That lay in store for me.There was a time When all on my mind was love. Now I find that most of the time Love's not enough in itself."

"I've read more than a hundred books, Seen love mentioned many thousand times. But despite all the places I've looked, It's still no clearer, it's just not enough. I'm still no nearer, the meaning of love."
