I was all alone at home
Both of my parents were out
There before me I suddenly saw
a little box, nice to look at

Oh, I said, how pretty and nice
That must be a splendid toy
I strike a match
Like mother often did

Every time that I'm alone
I'm pulled to the fire
Why is the sun round
Why don't I get healthy

It reaches for me, I don't resist
Jumps with claws to my face
It bites hard, it pains me a lot
I jump around the room

Oh no, the flame touches my dress
My jacket burns, it glows far
My hand burns, my hair burns
In fact my whole body is burning

Every time that I'm alone
I'm pulled to the fire
Why is the sun round
Why don't I get healthy -
The fire loves me
Help me
The fire loves me not "“
The fire loves me

I have been totally burned
Everything is burned completely
From the ashes, all alone
I climb up to the sunshine
The fire loves me
The fire loves me not

Help me

"You write so beautifully, the inside of your mind must be a terrible place"

’Cause I can’t see forgiveness, and you can’t see the crime

There’s a fragile game we play
With the ghosts of yesterday
If we can’t let go we’ll never say goodbye
No trace of what remains
No stones to mark the graves
Only memories we thought we could deny
There was so much more to lose
Than the pain
I put you through
In my carelessness
I left you in the dark
And the blood may wash away
But the scars will never fade
At least
I know somehow
I made a mark
In the dark
In the light
Nothing left
Nothing right

“Smell is the most powerful trigger to the memory there is. A certain flower, or a whiff of smoke can bring up experiences long forgotten. Books smell musty and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer is, uh, it has no texture, no context. It’s there and then it’s gone. If it’s to last, then the getting of knowledge should be tangible, it should be, um, smelly.”

All night, I dream of water that can wash the weight of the world from my shoulders.

this is how it works 
you're young until you're not 
you love until you don't 
you try until you can't 
you laugh until you cry 
you cry until you laugh 
and everyone must breathe 
until their dying breath
