My father built this house for me. Each of these doors opens to more. My mother - she was royalty, a silver bracelet on each of her gentle wrists. I wouldn't want to frighten you with the state that I'm in. It's not often I have company - I'd have to say, I'm glad you came. Let me walk you through these fourteen halls, each one the same. I wouldn't want to worry you with the state that I'm in. And you'll see - it all repeats. Everything except the sun, and me. And you'll see - it all repeats.

I'm tough! Tough to understand when I talk with my mouth full. I'm tough to believe, like a shadow whose edges you can't quite see. I'm wearing my heart like a leather coat that was owned by a biker who died years ago. I'm tough but I won't let it show. I'm tough! Tough to see in the darkness I've built around me. I'm tough - I'm an animal with my fur worn thin and my back to the wall. I'm wearing my heart like a leather coat that I stole from a biker who died years ago. I'm tough but I won't let it show

Elysian Fields: by the pool in his backyard he sits you down to speak in your ear of the goodness in his heart. He's talking through his teeth. (Charlie cares - he only wants you to succeed. He says, "It's good enough for me that you see the things I've seen"). Charlie cares. That's why his hand is on your knee - o what else could it be? And he swears it's the future that he sees - o what else could it be? (Charlie cares - he only wants you to succeed. He says, "It's good enough for me that you see the things I've seen"). His chandelier, his leather chairs right by the fire are kindling in your eyes. His pretty house looks to you just like a match. Go on, set it alight.

Books 03:10
I used to read books in my bed as I fell asleep. Now I have you instead to occupy my dreams. Back when I read, every word was a sacred stone - a relic left alone. Now I have you instead. I can be cold, and I know you can be cold too. I want to mean something to you. I want to mean something to you.
