"The fields of Eden Are full of trash

But if we beg and we borrow and steal

We'll never get it back...

This talk of freedom And human rights

Means bullying and private wars

and chucking all the dust into our eyes...

(art by Dominik Schmitt)

We're in the same boat On the same sea

And we're sailing south On the same breeze

Building dream churches With the silver spires

And our rogue children Playing loaded dice..."

"All day long I think of things

But nothing seems to satisfy

Think I'll lose my mind

If I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?

Make a joke and I will sigh

And you will laugh and I will cry

Happiness I cannot feel

And love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words

Telling you now of my state

I tell you to enjoy life

I wish I could but it's too late..."

"Sometimes days are so hard to survive,

a million ways to bury you alive

The sun goes down like a bad bad dream

You're wound up tight, gotta let off steam

They say they can break you again and again,

if life is a radio, turn up to ten."

"As long as you can laugh at yourself

you will never cease to be amused."

“Being a movie star,

and this applies to all of them,
means being looked 

at from every possible direction.
You are never left at peace, 

you're just fair game.” 

(Greta Garbo) 

"We always ignore the ones

who adore us,

and adore the ones

who ignore us."

"There is no world without sacrifice.

Are you unaware?

We are in a sea of blood,

ashes floating in hell,

crying the name

of a fading world."
