"Now the sky is a torn up denim and the clouds are just splattered paint It's a room I'm renovating; it's a name I got to change"

"I traveled though the atmosphere As a wall of feedback climbed The pegs were gold, the band was old They played in half time"

"I wanna be your happiness. I wanna be your common sense pain."

"If I loved you, well that's my fault"
