I believe this is Heaven to no one else but me...
I spent a lot of years on the road, and what happens is you find out who your real friends are and you find out where your strengths and weaknesses lie in communication. I've had the same friends for 20 years now and I can count them on one hand.
Cast me gently into the morning for the night has been unkind.
Peace in the struggle to find peace.. comfort on the way to comfort. And if I shed a tear I won't cage it I won't fear love. And if I feel a rage I won't deny it. (I won't fear love.
Cause I rely on my illusions, to keep me warm at night. I've denied in my capacity to love, and I am willing to give up this fight
The night is my companion, and solitude my guide.
Through this world I've stumbled, so many times betrayed, trying to find an honest word, to find the truth enslaved.
Larger than life is your fiction in a universe made up of one.
I have fallen, I have sunk so low. I have messed up, better I should know.
I want to be alone. Sympathies wasted on my hollow shell. I feel there's nothing left to fight for. No reason for a cause.
Your love is just the antidote when nothing else can cure me.
I will be the answer at the end of the line. I will be there for you. Why take the time? In the burning of uncertainty, I will be your solid ground. I, I will hold the balance if you can't look down. If it takes my whole life, I won't break. I won't bend. It will all be worth it, worth it in the end because I can only tell you what I know, that I need you in my life. When the stars have all gone out you'll still be burning so bright.
I was trying to uphold what I thought feminism was as best I could by supporting women, by trying to create an opportunity to get women to get together, play music together and celebrate the fact that we are having great success making music on our own and together.
I didn't get hugely famous really quick. It was a slow, gradual process, so I was able to sort of grow into myself and figure out who I was and what I wanted without the glaring spotlight on me telling me who I was.
