“The word ‘aerobics’ came about when the gym instructors got together and said: If we’re going to charge $10 an hour, we can’t call it Jumping up and down.”

I watch as it burns
just like my soul
Nothing is wrong
But nothing is right
I feel the flame
But my hands are cold
I thought that it would work
But now it is does not
Our memories are gone
If not I'll burn them away
All my thoughts have flown
But I am unwavering in my determination
To burn you from my mind
I might have a scar
I might not heal
But I know one thing
I will not regret
This choice is mine
The flame is absolute
I'll stay away
even if it costs me my life
