And the world seems so fresh as though it had all just come into existence. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.

Everything happens as though I were only one of the particular existences of some great incomprehensible and central being....

And I write songs because sometimes life makes more sense to me when it's being sung in a chorus, and when I can write it in a verse.
