Quotes

  • I've had enough of breakdowns and diagrams—Judging from picture books, apparently Heaven is a partly cloudy place.
  • I used to think, if I could realise I'd dieThen I would be a lot nicerUsed to believe in a lot moreNow I just see straight aheadThat's not to say I don't have good timesBut as for my days, I spend them waiting...
  • When you jump up the Earth wants you back.
  • I do this thing where I think I'm real sick but I won't go to the doctor to find out about it cause they make you stay real still in a real small space as they chart up your insides and put them on display. They'd see all of it, all of me, all of it; All the good that won't come out of me...
  • It's all of the good that won't come out of us and how eventually our hands will just turn to dust, if we keep shaking them standing here on this frozen lake.
  • Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting thingsAnd crawl back into bed to dream of a timeWhen your heart was open wide and you love things just becauseLike the sick and dying
