Who knows how these artists are feeling when they get on stage? (tired, stoned, drunk, depressed, DEAD, or ALIVE).

"sometimes you're alone all you do is think"Ĭontinual self-observation can lead to doubt. "The people I meet always go their separate ways"Įither becoming interested, ignoring you, or arguing against you, people choose a path and leave in "seperate ways". "Sometimes I sleep, sometimes its not for days"
