“When you have come to the edge of all the light that you know
and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown,
Faith is knowing One of two things will happen:
There will be something solid to stand on,
... or you will be taught to fly”
Dont worry.
You may think you'll ''never" get over it.
But you also thought it would last "forever".
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in.
A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves
You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith
Yeah I know how it feels
To sit on the edge of your bed
with your head in your hands
...just wishing it all would end.
"All I can do is be me, whoever that is. All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie. All this talk about equality.
The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.
This world is ruled by violence. No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.
Yesterday's just a memory, tommorow is never what it's supposed to be."
I did it because I wanted to
...because I needed too
because I had to...
...but mainly,
because you said I couldn't
Well I've been doing some thinking
...and I think I feel the same.
I'm gunna pour myself a tall, stiff drink
and watch you go your own way
...while I go my own way.
The fact that nobody understands you
doesn't make you an artist.
You can really tell a lot about people from their taste in music.
What pushes them through the hardest times,
what makes them jump and dance,
and what makes tears come to their eyes.
You just have to hear what they do.
"no matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless
our government, our corporations, our media, and
our religious and charitable institutions may become,
the music will still be wonderful."
drugs have taught an entire generation
of american kids the metric system.
One day you're jumping in puddles
& the next thing you know 30 years have passed
and you're telling your kids to walk around them.
I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me.
But it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world.
Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much,
my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst...
And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it,
and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude
for every single moment of my stupid little life...
You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure.
But don't worry... you will someday.
I haven't felt like this in God knows how long
But I know everything's gonna be ok,
if you just stay gone
