“Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot.
Sometimes I don't know how much more I've got.
Maybe I'm headed over the hill
Maybe I've set myself up for the kill.
Tell me how much do you think you can take
Until the heart in you is starting to break?
Sometimes it feels like it will.”

—  Billy Joel

It's dazzling, but the light is from tens of thousands of years ago.

“Like sometimes when a coach is behind you, they don’t really know how you feel. It’s hard for me to tell him, because I’m also thinking. If the coach and I think the same thing, that’s good, but sometimes it doesn’t happen. Then do you listen to the coach, or do you listen to yourself?”

“Honey don't walk out, I'm too drunk to follow.
You know you won't feel this way tomorrow.

Inside a little hollow.

That are so hard to swallow.”
