[Mariposa]

If I’m still alone by now it’s by design
I only own myself, but all of me is mine.
But it’s hard sometimes when strangers
offer you a dime
I only own myself, but all of me is mine.

If I still drink water when some folks drink wine
I only own myself, but all of me is mine.
But it’s hard when city windows dance
with candleshine
I only own myself, but all of me is mine.

The price you pay for sunshine
can sometimes be quite dear
when all you have to sell is youth
It’s hard to lose another year
my only forced submission
has been the rape of time.
I only own myself, but all of me is mine.

i just watched the Germs movie last night. I loved this quote at the end:

I love those who do not know how to live, except in perishing, for they are those that go beyond. I love the great despiser's, because they are the great adorers. They are arrows longing for the other shore. I love those who do not seek beyond the stars for a reason to parish and be sacrifice; but who sacrifice themselves to earth in order that earth may some day become... supermans. Tell me, my brothorin, if the goal be lacking to humanity is not humanity itself lacking; it is time for man to mark his goal. It is time for man to plant his germ of his highest hope.

''Incredibly true'' doesnt sound 'silly' at ALL!

To say something is true usually signifies that you aknowledge it/agree with it, but it being ''incredibly true'' seems to signify you have lived it!!:D

"the artist educating the critic", is beyond inspirational, its a testament that puts the evolution of art, against the evolution of human perception and tolerance...

"I can hear the sounds of the city
Sunrise and set are the same to me
A hesitating pulse is good company
And my reflection offers no apology
But who said that I wasn't right?"
