At night when you're asleep, self-hatred's going to creep in. And you can blame it on the devil, the one who's bed you sleep in.

I've been waiting for sleep to offer up the day with both hands.

I envy your ignorance, I hear that it's bliss.

I am getting nowhere with you and I can't let you go and I cant get through.

Let's show them all how it's done, let's do it all imperfectly.

I cannot name this, I cannot explain this, and I really don't want to so just call me shameless.

Any tool is a weapon if you hold it right.

Somedays the line I walk turns out to be straight - Other days the line tends to deviate.

I mean, I think it's hard enough to find somebody you can stand for more than ten minutes, so, like, you shouldn't narrow your options.

One of my rules is: Never TRY to do anything. Just do it.

For me, the stronger ground I have in my personal life, then the more will I have to fight the good fight.

When you sit right down in the middle of yourself you're gonna wanna have a comfortable chair.

I don't need anyone to hold me, I can hold my own.

I think I'm a very solitary person. To actually not be anonymous is a bit claustrophobic for me.

Maybe you can keep me from never being happy, but you're not going to stop me from HAVING FUN!

Lying in bed, you know, you don't seem so tall.

Someone's got to be interested in how I feel, just because I'm here and I'm real.

TIME is not a thing that's ours to lose.

There's a crowd of people harbored in each person There are so many roles that we play.

A little bird told me that jumping is easy and the falling is fun, right up until you hit sidewalk shivering and stunned.

And I try

I see a lot of connections between folk and punk music just because they're both subcorporate music - I mean, traditionally.

It seems that different people have an idea of what I am, and what I should be. And then there's me.

I still define myself by the places that I've been.

I am writing graffiti on your body. I am drawing the story of how hard we tried.

I am 32 flavors and then some.

We are wise women, we are giggling girls. We both carry a smile to show when we're pleased, we both carry a switchblade in our sleeves.

It's just hard to travel in the shadow of regret. In fact, it's so hard that I actually haven't left yet.

Goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine. And the little plastic castle is a surprise everytime.

Too much is how I love you, but too well is how I know you.

First decide what you got to do, then go out and do it. All we can do is to see each other through it.

And this vague little smile is my all purpose expression the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion.

I'm the color me happy girl, Miss live and let live. And when they're out for blood, I always give.

Now let's get talking: reefer madness. Like some arrogant government can't, By any stretch of the imagination, outlaw a plant.

There isn't much I have to say, that I wouldn't rather just shut up and do.

Then I show up steady ready and proud and I find I've forgotten how to talk out loud. Isn't it just like you to bring me to my knees?

I'll walk the plank and I'll jump with a smile, cause if I'm gonna go down I'm gonna do it with style.

I will not be afraid to let my talent shine.
