"Each one of the world’s teachers when they come are misunderstood, and the first thing we do is strike out at them, behead them, hang them on a cross or whatever. Here mankind waits thousands of years for the coming of someone to help the unity of mankind, and then when he comes, they throw him in jail for 40 years and torture him. I was more or less trying to speak for the human race — presumptuous, I know — saying we were sorry."

"Follow me into the desert, as thirsty as you are, Crack a smile and cut your mouth and drown in alcohol.

"Waitin', watchin' the clock, It's four o'clock, it's got to stop. Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech. As he opens the door, she rolls over, Pretends to sleep as he looks her over.She lies and says she's in love with him. Can't find a better man. She dreams in color, she dreams in red. Can't find a better man. Can't find a better man, can't find a better man."

"Torture from you to me, yeah, Abducted from the street, and, uhI'd rather be, I'd rather be with, I'd rather be with an animal, oohh."

"I took a drive today, time to emancipate. I guess it was the beatings made me wise, But I'm not about to give thanks or apologize.I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down, Hand on my face, pushed to the ground. Enmity gauged, united by fear, Forced to endure what I could not forgive.I seem to look away, the wounds in the mirror waved It wasn't my surface most defiled."

"Show me the power, child, I'd like to say That I'm down on my knees today. Yeah, it gives me the butterflies, gives me away, 'Til I'm up on my feet again. I'm feelin' Oh, I'm feelin' outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined."

Black hole sun, won't you come? Won't you come? Won't you come?"

"I woke the same as any other day, Except a voice was in my head. It said, "Seize the day, pull the trigger. Drop the blade and watch the rolling heads."The day I tried to live I stole a thousand beggars' change And gave it to the rich, yeah. The day I tried to win, I dangled from the power lines And let the martyrs stretch, yeah."

"I caught the moon today, Pick it up and throw it away, alright. I got the perfect steal, A cleaner love with a dirty feel, alright. Fallout and take the bait, Eat the fruit and kiss the snake goodnight.Common ruse, dirty face, Pretty noose is pretty hate."

"Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Her lace spread out before me, as her body once did. All five horizons revolved around her soul, as the Earth to the Sun. Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn.Ooh-oh, and all I taught her was everything. Mmm, oh, I know she gave me all that she wore.And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything All the pictures have all been washed in black, Tattooed everything."

"I'm addicted to feeling. Stealing love isn't stealing. Can't you see that I understand your mind?I'm a walking believer, I'm a ghost and a healer. I'm the shape of the hole inside your heart!"

"You don't have to stray Though oceans away, waves roll in my thoughts. Hold tight the ring, The sea will rise, please stand by the shore."

"Once fastened, servile, now you're gettin' sharp, Movin' oh-so swiftly with such disarm. I pulled the covers over him, shoulda pulled the alarm, Turned to my nemesis, a fool, not a fucking god."

"Alone, listless, Breakfast table in an otherwise empty room. Young girl, violence, Center of her own attention, the Mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it, Tries to make her proud. The shades go down, it's in her head, Painted room, can't deny there's something wrong.Don't call me daughter, not fit to, The picture kept will remind me.

Hearts and thoughts, they fade away."

"Little secrets, tremors, Turned to quake. The smallest oceans still get Big, big waves, yeah."

"Once divided, nothing left to subtract, Some words when spoken can't be taken back. Walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinkin', Future's above, but in the past he's slow and sinkin'.Caught a bolt of lightning, Cursed the day he let it go.Nothingman, nothingman. Isn't it something? Nothingman."

"Though I can't put my hands on you, I can feel you now In the bones and the blood flowing, needles on the ground. In the ether I sail to you, floating on the fumes, Run aground on the shore for you, simple wreckage.Taree, walk out and raise the road To my tilted shadow. I only know I've made it home When I drown in your ghost light."

"At home, drawin' pictures of mountain tops With him on top, lemon yellow sun Arms raised in a "V" And the dead lay in pools of maroon below.Daddy didn't give attention Oh, to the fact that Mommy didn't care King Jeremy the wicked Oh, ruled his world.Jeremy spoke in class today. Jeremy spoke in class today."

Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name Lifetimes are catchin' up with meAll these changes takin' place, I wish I'd seen the place, But no one's ever taken me.Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away. Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away."
