“Spineless from the start, sucked into the part. Circus comes to town, you play the lead clown. Please, please, spreading his disease, living by his story. Knees, knees, falling to your knees, suffer for his glory. You will.”

“I had this dream, our planet surviving. The guiding stars always glowing. And all the wealths, the fates of the countries, they’re all rebuilding at the same time. I never fell and always believed it. We could evolve and get older, open thy eyes and let all this flow in. Now see a new hope is growing inside.”
