Locking yourself up with such things, letting them stir, using these pure psychic creations as raw material, and deciding, each time, how much or little you’re going to participate in your own act of creation, just what you’ll stake, what are the odds, just how far are you going to go – that’s called being a writer. And you do it alone in a room.


We’re the unlucky ones,
the ones beaten and tattered.
Staring down the barrel of a gun,
Nothing else ever mattered.

Torn to pieces.
Wasting away.
All I needed,
was for one person to say…

Wipe your eyes,
and put on a brave face.
‘Cause tomorrow is a different day.
Bad things happen,
but you’ll be okay.

There’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
I know you’ll make it someday.

Gave it my all,
but it was never enough.
Might have been easier
just to give up.
But now I’m stuck,
and I have nowhere to turn.

Broken and shattered.
Decomposed and decayed.
All I ever wanted,
was for someone to say…

Wipe your eyes,
and put on a brave face.
‘Cause tomorrow is a different day.
Bad things happen,
but you’ll be okay.

There’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
I know you’ll make it someday.

We’re the unlucky ones,
the ones beaten and tattered.
All we need is someone
to save us from disaster.
