And if we're doing lyrics:
There's perfect harmony
In the rising and the falling of the sea
And as we sail along
I never fail to be astounded by
The things we'll do for promises
And a song
We are the innocent
We are the damned
We were caught in the middle of the madness
Hunted by the lion and the lamb
We bring you fantasy
We bring you pain
It's your one great chance for a miracle
Or we will disappear
Never to be seen again
We bring you beautiful
We teach you sin
We can give you a piece of the universe
Or we will disappear
Never to return again
We are the innocent
We cut we bleed
We're your one great chance for a miracle
And a miracle is something you need
They'll take your diamonds
And then give you steel
You'll be caught in the middle of the madness
Just lost like them
And part of all the pain that they feel
And all the fools sailed away
All the fools sailed away
All the fools sailed away
Leaving nothing, nothing more to say
All the fools sailed away
They say you're beautiful
And they'll always let you in
But doors are never open
To the child without a trace of sin

"If a friend of mine...gave a feast, and did not invite me to it, I should not mind a bit...But if...a friend of mine had a sorrow and refused to allow me to share it, I should feel it most bitterly. If a friend shut the doors of the house of mourning against me, I would move back again and again and beg to be admitted so that I might share in what I was entitled to share. If my friend thought me unworthy, unfir to weep with him, I should feel it as the most poignant humiliation..." - Oscar Wilde
"Do not save your loving speeches
For your friends till they are dead;

Speak them rather now instead." - Anna Cummins
